It says it's for web applications, which is a slightly different goal that can justify the use of JS.

That said, "brutalist" strikes me as a pretty silly concept to apply to the web.

In the architecture of buildings, there can be a direct relationship between the technology used and the visual result. The same doesn't really apply to the web, unless for example you use pure HTML with no CSS or JS.

As soon as you introduce CSS, you're putting a "facade" on the system that's the equivalent of draping a brutalist building in, say, marble or glass. Deliberately using that styling to look "as if" it's something else turns brutalism into a facade itself.

And as you say, once you introduce JS, all bets are off.

So, the philosophical and artistic foundations here seem dubious, undermining the integrity behind the original idea, and making the whole exercise seem faddish.

It's not a goal but it will happen because the benefits are huge. JavaScript s "tree shaking" is a joke compared to a compilers ability to remove unused code. Since it's all compiled down to WASM bytecode it's possible to remove unused code no matter what the original language. Close to the holy grail
> Look at a book from 500 years ago compared to a book today. While the underlying tech is completely changed, the fundamental principles of book-user interaction remain the same.

Well, if we went back further, we might get to codices or even scrolls, which are fundamentally different from books in their user interaction.

This is exactly true. (And it makes sense given who you are. I remember your name from the formation of ICANN btw.)

However I will add something else.

If it becomes hard for people/companies/startups who want to buy domains (.com as you know is all that typically counts) (or for brokers etc) then there will be a shift away from .com because of that frustration. Right now people start perhaps with another TLD but once they get successful they try to get .com almost always. And that supports the market price of .com

So sure the big time people (who charge 'high' prices) will make it possible to be reached. However there is another tier that either forgets to put up contact info (or it's out of date on a web page that gets spam) or does not even know they have something of value. Those owners, if they can't be reached, will miss out. And the buyers would be more likely to then go for another TLD. Hence .com in general could loose value. [1] Not overnight but will happen.

[1] I both own domains (since 90's) and help people buy domains. This is actually my big concern with 'help people buy domains'.

> compiled a database of my political donations without probable cause.

I share your sentiment, I wouldn't appreciate that either of course.

I find it hard to feel optimistic about privacy in America, and in a similar way, probable cause. Three short vignettes:

1) Living in Brooklyn a couple years back I was surprised one day to see a white van with ALPR cameras slowly cruising residential streets, followed by a squad car. There was clearly some arrangement where this private company was teaming up with NYPD to boot offenders' vehicles. Ostensibly the private company had access to some NYPD database [0]. The slippery slope there makes me exceedingly uncomfortable. If a referendum happened on that one, I missed it.

2) Fast forward to Jan 2017 - shortly before Obama left office, the NSA was given significantly increased authority to share the dragnet surveillance it hoovers up [1] [2].

3) In May 2018, as you may have heard, major US carriers were caught selling real-time customer location data to private companies [3] who resold it.

Meanwhile what you might hope would be prosecutors' fear of, well, prosecution for attempting to subvert the "fruit of the poisonous tree" doctrine for e.g. parallel construction [4] seems quite undermined by prosecutorial immunity [5].

I don't claim to be a legal expert but I do find it truly scary to think about.

What else is going on we don't know?

I agree that a continuous function is better than a stepwise function. I don't agree that it avoids the core problem with stuff-giving welfare problems, which is that they introduce high effective marginal taxes. I think those get trapped in death spirals the very same way unless you introduce orthogonal disincentive effects against gaming the system, like social pressures, work training requirements, benefit limits.
Thing is it’s parts are not all shit. Just as a whole it’s shit. They tried making a Swiss Army knife using advanced, not yet ready or tested technology.

They should kill the project, and write it off as a huge R&D project. Take all the advances in technology that have come out of the project as wins. Continue working on those technologies more with more experimental projects until they’re ready for use.

Meanwhile use what we got for strike fighters and air support roles since they’re still more than sufficient. Build more F22s to fill out air superiority since that program seems to have delivered well.

Turbolinks is cool but it seems more tied to only a rails backend. Anyone know how to use it with Java?
TIMELINE. ;)
Not every piece of procured hardware is a massive compromise, designed to replace many types of previous model with wildly varying purposes.

It's supposed to replace the A10 as a close air support craft, at the same time as taking primary responsibility for air superiority. These are wildly different sets of requirements, so different that even doing custom models of the same airframe isn't enough to fix it. The air superiority models are hindered by the fact that the airframe was designed to support vertical lift fans to support the VTOL use case that the Marines wanted.

It's a collossal shitshow. I'd keep my nose out of it as a US problem, but the UK government has committed to buying these.

I was pleasantly surprised when teaching the CLI to discover that PowerShell (and cmd it seems) has similar conventions to bash when it comes to `|` and `>`. But it annoyed the hell out of me that PowerShell aliases `curl` to something that is most definitely not a drop-in replacement for *nix curl. I ended up having to teach people on Windows how to download the proper curl, and then to refer to it as `curl.exe`.
> If we had a system where the landlord made substantially less from affordable housing units,

That's how this works in California. Unfunded mandate on developers. Developers agree to it so they get their development permits.

(The system is then administered by the successor management office and occasionally audited by the city. Directing excess rent to the government is possible, but introduces a number of calculation and administrative complexities. )

Finally you get the problem that this system is going to push up the median income in affordable housing (income rising, landlords preferring higher income individuals for stability, etc.), hurting the program's intention.

That said I think this solution is better, but I don't understand how high the admin cost goes.
> If the domain owner doesn't provide an email on the website reached through the respective domain itself it's probably a signal that they don't want to be approached.

Not true. Many people don't realize the value of what they have. And/or they won't see a message because of spam etc (could argue that this happens with whois also but generally the more clues the better).

Note that with physical real estate it is often purchased by someone wanting a property that has no sale sign. Also (per my other comment) there are many people who don't know the value of what they have.

So it's not a signal at all in many cases (I have over 2 decades of first hand knowledge of this btw.)

Besides it all comes down to price. You may not want to sell your house but if someone comes to offer you 3x what you paid you might listen to them. You may 'not want to sell' for what the market price is. Selling prices for domains are all over the map.
But everyone already does that. When you get a new job, you can't just merge in seamlessly like you've been working there for ages.

Of course, saying 'fake it' I don't mean 'just pretend that you know stuff, but don't actually learn and don't work hard'.

... but you would be very upset if you'd spent years doing graduate research in fluid mechanics, gone through several interviews where you discussed theory, accepted an offer believing your role would be technically groundbreaking and use your knowledge of fluid mechanics -- then realize on your first day you had been hired as a plumber.

I think this is less a denigration of software engineering in 2018 than it is a denigration of software engineer interviewing in 2018.
I have somehow avoided this problem! I got rid of my car almost 15 years ago, and have been on bikes 100% of the time since then. I've had 0 bikes stolen. 9 countries ridden in, so far!

The threat of getting hit by a car is the biggest hurtle of mass adoption of cycling in the US, in my opinion. I don't quite want to open up a discussion on what's going to bring about a sea-change, but having traveled to other countries where cycling is normalized into regular culture (France, Belgium, Switzerland, Netherlands), I have hopes that it can happen - at least in pockets, in the US. Living in Boulder, I feel I am in such a pocket, but I've still had some pretty close encounters, despite the fairly OK-ish cycling infrastructure, culture, and education.

Just want to say thanks for jumping all over this comment thread to explain liquidation topics and scenarios. I'm alarmed how much folks who get into startups don't understand these things, and lament how much I still don't know about it all.

Then again, so much of startup culture actively conspires to make deal structure/cap tables/liquidation preferences opaque, because nobody wants to say "Hey, come work for this startup for 2σ under market salary and x% equity. Never mind that the equity will get crazy diluted and a liquidation event might get cleaned out before it ever gets to your end of the table. That is, if a liquidation event ever happens!" So I don't feel totally ignorant about not understanding it, just yearning.
The survey didn't come up for me. That kind of thing makes policies against this more difficult.

He's saying that it's not about difficulty it's about the value of the output.

There are many difficult things that are worthless in value.

You could be the greatest deep sea underwater basket weaver, that doesn't make your goods valuable. Nobody wants your damp baskets.

He's not saying that programming is easy: he's saying it has high value to difficulty, higher than other more difficult careers.
Bah, I've seen runtime errors with dynamic and strict typing, and I'll take type safety any day. Besides, good type systems like Rust's force you to think about all sorts of errors at all points of the program. It's harder to write, but it's harder to break, and much, much easier to fix.
In America we tend to do the same. Problems arise when you have multiple switches toggling a single light though. If one switch is ON and the other is OFF and the light is ON, then when you flip the OFF switch to ON the light will turn OFF. And when they are both ON, to actually turn the light ON, you need to flip one of the switches to be OFF
Use the pomodoro technique, it is ideal for this type so situation. It helps you get into the flow. Having a list of focused things you need to complete before you apply this technique is also a requirement.
It is very common to have multiple switches controlling the same light (example: two switchs on both side of the bed controlling a single ceiling light).

The position of an electrical switch is not designed to signal the status of what it controls.

So, does this course actually work at instilling critical thinking in students, outside the narrow classroom setting? Does this effect persist over the long term? Is it better or worse to teach this in the context of composition, or something more domain-specific, e.g. economics/government policy?

I feel like people making claims that education that students don't ask for is useful have the burden of showing that it is does what they say it will, empirically, and not get to hand wave about "critical thinking" or "well-roundedness".
first, i like emacs alright, and the article is awesome and full of good recommendations..

.. however, this article appears to be advocating a style of programming that i'd be more apt to call Test Driven Development than Literate Programming:

it demonstrates a way to use naming conventions and mocks/stubs to describe a program, not a way to use natural language, math notation, etc. to describe a program.

for JS (the lang in the article), proxyquire+simple-mock is a non-emacs-centric way to do this. toss in tape or some other testing library, and you've got some amount of natural language documentation as well.

this is more what i'd consider literate programming in JS land

Yes, UBI is much less distorting.

Of course that said much welfare and tax policy is intentionally designed to distort society's preferences.
Okay, let me give you the details of intuition then: the typical person in poverty might optimistically hope to go from $30k/year to $60k/year. But the typical such person has a high time preference and is only able to defer earning income under very difficult terms (e.g. high interest rates). But at a 60% effective tax on making that transition and given the long time it takes to bring it about, you need someone with an unusually low time preference and high luck for that to look worthwhile.

(You would be correct that you could have a poverty program that directly targets the high impediments that exist in the short term e.g. getting childcare for when you have the night classes, low-interest loans to cover short term expenses, etc. But those would also be different policies from simply giving stuff at a lower-effective-marginal-rate than the step function does, and it would be adding the kinds of incentive effects that I have been emphasizing as more important.)

If you model everyone as being the go-getter high-potential individual that you are, you'll have a different intuition on it; I don't think that model is accurate on average.
I'm an open borders guy. I have been for years. I have no problem with vastly liberalizing immigration policy.

I also have direct experience in immigration, having worked at ICE for a couple of years. I know how it works on the inside.

I've worked with immigrants and have done my best to help them my entire career. I've been very fortunate to have worked with great people from all over.

Finally, I know a lot of people on both sides of this issue.

If you are willing to accept new information, I'd like to share with you that the U.S. is not carrying out ethnic cleansing operations. To me that appears a very dramatic and unsupported claim, geared toward getting people upset (and keeping yourself upset) more than understanding the issues involved.

I have a dozen things to be angry about when it comes to U.S. policy on immigration and travel. Almost weekly I am either angry or ashamed. But the world does not exist to conform to my emotional state. I have been angry about many of these things for a long, long time.

None of that has anything to do with Bob. Picking out a new victim every week and publicly shaming them isn't going to bring people together to solve problems. This behavior is creating a world in which problems and conflict are just going to get worse, not reach resolution. These folks are not helping the very causes they claim to support -- one of another half-dozen things that drives me nuts about watching this idiocy. Want to fix this? Me too. Stop trying to keep exacerbating it.

As someone who has read the law in multiple states, your reading of the law seems to be selective.

You state that there are "very few very specific exceptions", when in California I count 7 exceptions that cover a lot:

1. When the cyclist is going at or near the speed limit.

2. When the cyclist is overtaking or passing.

3. When the cyclist is preparing for a left turn.

4. When the cyclist deems it necessary for safety.

5. When the cyclist is preparing for a right turn.

6. When the cyclist is on a one way road with two or more lanes.

7. When signs and road markings say so.

My own experience as a cyclist suggests that these exceptions apply over 95% of the time, if not over 99%. It seems misleading to me to say there are "very few very specific exceptions" given this.

This is particularly true for the safety exception. Most lanes are simply too narrow to move to the far right as you suggest. That's doubly true if there's parking on the side, as the cyclist wants to avoid the door zone. Add on top of all this all the debris that accumulates to the far right. Etc.

(The first 6 exceptions are written in the law. The 7th was added later when I realized it also applies. https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displaySectio...)
Right now anybody working in software (outside of startups) makes an extremely comfortable living. I think we're headed for a bubble-burst as the job market approaches saturation. The "bootcamps" are so successful because you don't have to be a genius to do the plumbing, but you get paid as if you are one. I've considered going back for a master's degree for this reason alone.
Amazon: Your New Favorite Drug Dealer
Here in London the docked bike scheme - currently called Santander Cycles, over their main sponsor - have been going since 2010. Last year 17% of its operating costs came from public funding, but most came from sales and sponsorship.

The bikes compared to Mobike (the only dockless scheme I’ve tried) are a lot more comfortable and easier to ride. The only issue of course is finding somewhere to park it, which at peak times can be difficult.

Yeah, the point is that Amazon's design costs more to produce and they sell it for a lower price. The Sonos design is more typical and $200 is probably closer to a "realistic" price.

In other words, the design details from the teardown signal that Amazon is willing to eat losses on hardware, whereas Sonos can't afford to. Sonos doesn't have the alternative revenue streams that Amazon (and Google) have, making it hard to compete head on. I do think there is a niche for Sonos though, offering more music-focused options and sticking to the truly premium/high-end market, which Amazon seems less interested in. Google seems interested in that market segment with the Max, but I think they are still testing the waters so Sonos can still compete.
Yes and no. For me that’s what social security should be about. Instead what? The privilege to take 12 weeks without pay? Fuck that. Look at Europe and the Scandinavian countries if you want to see how it’s done.

The US would be in a world of pain as far as an aging population if not for the influx of immigrants. But no worries. We’re gonna “fix” that.

To be fair I have started buying higher quality sneakers a couple of years ago and I am not going back.

There is a huge difference between the low cost ones and let's say 200-300$ sneakers.

My ETQ low 3 are insanely comfortable, are made of good material that age nicely, and are basically built like a tank (vibram soles, stitched + glued elements for maximum durability, etc).

For Balenciaga you pay the same level of craftmanship + trendy design and brand recognition.

I don't think you can really compare this to Beats though.

They are pretty awful at their price point, but audio quality is something most people don't really pay attention to. It has big basses is enough for most people. The same way that Samsung's oversaturated screens look amazing to many consumers.

And for Beats, I would say of why you pay is for the brand..
