The "Web 2.0" design is cancer

Well, I owe few years that kickstarted my career at a very nice income level to it, but all 3 years as a webdev I hated with passion every request of squeezing js animation into every part of the page. God thanks web development is a thing of the past for me

Though, that dude who incessantly pushes his imaginary "design trend" to every major website is not much a "lesser evil"

It is an "ingenious" business model to raise up hype over "the new great design trend" nobody heard about, and then sell your expertise in it and your design "services" at six digits per project
I would have been unable to resist naming it "Vaporware".
> Outlook in particular is a pain point

That depends on the environment. I assume you're talking about Outlook as a frontend for an enterprise Exchange setup?

If your mail server admin configures IMAP and SMTP correctly, it's a breeze to get it set up (you will need SSL though). Use "DOMAIN\user.name" as username together with your AD password (and for team/shared mailboxes, use DOMAIN\user.name\mailbox.name, where mailbox.name is the cn or sAMAccountName attribute of the mailbox AD entry). Thunderbird can handle everyday emailing as well as responding to calendar events that way; I'm not sure about integrating "real" calendar stuff. Auto-completion of mail addresses must be done separately in Thunderbird, you'll need the AD structure information (root DN, plus the DN of your AD account so you can log in).

What you'll miss is forwarding rules access, but that can be done via webmail if the need arises.
This contradicts what I've heard from my wife's best friend who was diagnosed with hearing loss several years ago & has been using hearing aids. According to her, hearing aids themselves are dangerous, expensive & flaky. She complains there is no "one size fits all", and she needs at least two or three different ones. Eg, she has one which is great for indoor conversations, but is very susceptible to wind noise, which she said gets amplified so much it is dangerous. On the other end, she has one she wears outdoors that is great for rejecting wind noise, but she says is useless for indoor conversations with lots of people talking. These are devices which cost thousands.

I'm going to forward this article to her; hopefully she has an old phone she can install the beta on and try this.

And? If you're that invested in another country, give up your US passport and get one with the new country. Alternatively, work to get the tax laws in the US changed. It's not like this stuff is a secret - if you want to work abroad you're going to get double taxed. Not paying the US portion of taxes is illegal. I don't understand the issue here, maybe you can explain it to me?

> Serious question: is dogfighting still a thing these days?

It's not and that is part of the basis of the F-35, if I understand it correctly, to fight future battles not past ones. A very common problem in military history is people who fought the last war, leading to things like cavalry charges against machine guns. Here are three ways to think about the F-35 and the change in technology that I've read elsewhere (I'm not a practitioner or expert):

First, someone thought to do empirical research into what actually wins in air-to-air encounters, rather than relying on theories. In Vietnam (the last time the US had more than a few air-to-air encounters), 80% of battles were over before the losers knew they had begun.[0] Contrary to the Hollywood image of mano-a-mano dogfights, the loser was basically shot in the back without warning.[1] Situational awareness is the key, according to the research. The F-35 is built around situational awareness: Sensors, stealth (counter-measure against enemy sensors), integration with other sensor systems (the plane's display shows not only its own sensor output, but also the output from all the other F-35s, as well as from ground and satellite - it's all networked in), and think of the high-tech helmet that uses cameras and AR to let the pilot see 'through' the plane.

Second, the plane is more a node on a network than an independent platform. Think of those integrated sensors: Using them, a commander can deploy any other asset on the network against an enemy, alone or in combination - missiles from the ground or and electronic jamming from another plane, for example - it's not just the fight of the plane that happened to carry the sensor that detected the target. It's the difference between a standalone computer and a networked one.

Third, think of effect of range in naval technology: Ships used to pull up alongside each other and sailors would fight hand-to-hand. Then sufficiently effective cannon were developed and ships fought each other from miles away; anyone still using boarding parties was sunk before they could get close enough; cannon maxed out at maybe a couple of dozen miles on battleships. Then naval air power was developed, aircraft carriers and planes, and their range was several hundred miles; ships relying on cannon never even saw their foes, they were just targets for the planes and coffins for their personnel (this famously happened at the Battle of Midway). The same thing is happening with fighter planes: Nobody will get close enough for dogfights; they usually won't even see the other plane. Evaluating modern planes based on dogfighting is, in this sense, like evaluating aircraft carriers based on boarding parties or cannon.

[1] People sometimes are shocked by this idea, but that is the goal of combat: To massacre your enemy before they know you are there. It's not a sporting event; you absolutely don't want a fair fight.
Use the machine gun, missles might still work, maneuver the jet using their vision.

A drone has to be able to do all of that and make those decisions with no human on the ground to control it if it is jammed from communication. I don't think computers can beat a human in that type of scenario yet.
> Our plane technology is quite useless in such a situation (and considering that alpha centauri is 5 light years away and aliens likely use the same physics 10 years is quite unlikely ;) )

You don't know, anything that would preemptively help to save human lives should be considered. Sending unmanned fighters or drones to probe a spaceship and gather data is wiser than sending humans to the task.

> Often times the combination of human instinct and machine capability is still the best for many tasks.

Sure. For how long tho. Also, when you fly a plane at twice the sound speed with a screen in front of you, you are already inside like a total simulated environment, your only human instinct used here is your survival instinct, which will, conveniently, save a multi-million dollars
plane from being destroyed.
I know what a SLA means but I have never seen an SLA from Azure dictating a guaranteed response time. They only give the SLA for time until initial reply as far as I know. I was suspecting the person I replied to have misunderstood what it is they have purchased. Maybe in some cases if you pay them some obscene amount of money you can purchase an SLA for for time til resolution but I don't think that's the case here.
> Plenty of places allow you to pay online by “direct deposit”

Looks like you've missed the "or have an agreement with a bank".

> if someone uses your bank a/c# you are responsible for recovering the money.

I do not think this is true. Of course credit card fraud liability policy only covers the credit card, but there are rules about bank transfers. My reading of https://www.law.cornell.edu/ucc/4A/part_2 is that the customer is liable for the payment only if it is authorized and passes "commercially reasonable" security procedure. If somebody just gets you bank account number, it's clearly not an authorized payment (unless they make it look authorized, i.e. by stealing your identity or passwords, etc.) and you will not be liable for it.

Yeah, that's a fair criticism. For me, why I'm not comfortable with that approach for everything is that--if I'm understanding you correctly--means storing a lot of state with the job (state which can then go stale).

Certainly it would be possible to design new aircraft with new technology. But it would take 10+ years, meanwhile the existing fleet is literally falling apart from heavy use. And there's no reason to expect an alternative design would be significantly cheaper.
You really don't want bored people on your team long term.

Most commercial programming work is boring. But that’s because most work full stop is. There are things that aren’t fun but need to be done anyway. That’s why it’s called “work” and you are paid a salary for it. You could be sweeping the streets or mining coal or packing meat. Most programmers don’t realise how lucky we are that there is even a fraction of our work that is actually so fun we’d almost do it for free...
It is an interesting data point, and it makes me wonder if we can use this as a side channel attack to figure out who the hackers "like" and who they "don't like" running for office. Might give us more insight into the hacker's goals.

A few things:

The follow on essay to The Machine is The Corporation, which talks a little about the logistics of such a thing.

http://tlalexander.com/corporation/

Certainly, I’d like to write a book on these ideas, and I have a lot more to flesh out. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth pursuing!

Much of what I want to accomplish is not to get rid of economics, but make it work for regular people. I think that can be done by making sure the people own the means of production and making sure that no one is unfairly exploited for their labor. That is not in my mind getting rid of economics.

And surely, I believe we can realize the benefits of these ideas almost immediately, and I advocate for doing that on my website, http://Reboot.love. Specifically, I think that we can encourage robotics engineers to develop open source solutions, and we can encourage investors and policy makers to fund training so more people can understand how to benefit from these open source designs. I foresee real economic benefits to these ideas helping people within ten years. I believe the reach of these ideas can be broader and more immediate than a UBI. Even if a UBI were implemented in, say, France or Canada, billions would still be without it. But if we design open source productive machinery that can be made in a small shop, everyone from Kenya to Bangladesh to Detroit and Watsonville can benefit.

That’s what I’m working towards.
I got my pair as soon as they became available, and I’ve slowly realized that at the rate that I had to replace the old, wired EarPods (due to failures in the cable or accidentally laundering them) I’ve probably already crossed the break even point, making the AirPods surprisingly more cost-effective. And, yet, I use them so much more — very nearly all day.

Do you think UBI would encourage people to have more children?

You're aware that foreign tax can be taken as a credit or deduction, yes? Further not only are you incorrect about the whole "won't accept" thing, they have a whole process for exactly how you do it. Importantly, that process only applies to well-off expats (multiple years at $150k+ or >$2m in net worth) and anyone else who wants out can get out quickly and cheaply. This whole flap isn't about"can't pay", it's about "don't want to".

>That promise chain is not synchronous.

The promise chain is executed synchronously in an asynchronous context. You seem to misunderstand this nuance. `x => x + 1` is a synchronous function. It will always execute synchronously and will return a result when it is invoked and block (within its context) until that invocation is complete. However, its calling context may be paused/pre-empted.

Importantly though, the promise won't be pre-empted during the evaluation of a synchronous function:

function sleep(ms) {
var start = new Date().getTime(), expire = start + ms;
while (new Date().getTime() < expire) { }
return;
}

Promise.resolve(0).then(
(x) => {
for (i = 0; i < 15; i++) {
sleep(1000);
console.log(`doing stuff ${i}`);
}
}).then(console.log);

If you run this in your console and then try to do anything, you will be unable to. You'll be blocked by the asynchronous code (because it never releases). Replace my blocking sleep with setTimeout, a nonblocking alternative, and you'll find that things work normally. You're executing synchronous, blocking code in an asynchronous context.

Promises aren't doing anything magical, they're simply syntactic sugar for flattening otherwise nested chains of this (where +1 is a standin for the action that this specific function is taking):

f = (cb, v) => cb(v + 1)

which quickly balloons to

f = (cb, v) => cb(v + 1)
(v) => (f(console.log, v))
f((v) => (f(console.log, v)), 1)
f((v) => (f((v) => (f(console.log, v)), v)), 1)

back to something sane:

Promise.resolve(1)
.then(f)
.then(f)
.then(f)
.then(console.log)

There's really no major difference between those two constructs (well, promises also provide infrastructure for releasing to another control.

All of those are synchronous functions, executed synchronously, in an asynchronous context, and all of them are called callbacks by what is perhaps the most authoritative source on web programming today.

Are you asking whether null hypotheses have a scientific purpose? A null hypothesis is not a strawman, it is a way to test if your hypothesis might be false, as opposed to testing if it might be true. Null hypotheses in general are considered pretty useful for scientific work, I'd say... they're the cornerstone of falsifiability, without which, you don't actually have real science.
It is not that simple to renounce US citizenship. As op wrote, if they think that you are renouncing because of taxes, they will flat out deny your request. Furthermore, changing tax law for an expat is virtually impossible because it is very hard to vote from abroad, and expats are very diverse so no one politician would care to represent them.

I like it! As someone who uses XHyve and FreeBSD on MacOS have you considered doing any of these ZFS ops against a VM? I also use NFS with my VM and it’s extremely fast and reliable. This could work well moving things from the VM into a fully working backup system which supports ZFS datasets and mounting via NFSD which is still native on MacOS.

Surely, a UBI would help you immediately. But I don’t think we’ll see one any time soon. Meanwhile I’m trying to develop a more equitable system. I hope it works. It’s clearly unfair to me that I get to sleep in an apartment and some people can’t. My hope is that by owning the means of production and sharing the output, we can build a more equitable system.

Incidentally I talk about how someone can come in with nothing and end up with part ownership in The Machine in its follow on essay, The Corporation.

I've had a couple run ins with the IRS as well where they thought I retired (nope) or did something I didn't do.

It was pretty easy to resolve by paper for me, couple letters back and forth, but yeah it takes a while. Fortunately the IRS was good about it all.

I wonder though if they're still investigating (sending me letters and I am responding) if it counts as owing them as far as this law goes?

From what I remember from he letters provided by the IRS, if I'm responding with legit responses (I sent them the not correct paperwork a few times and they were still ok with that) they consider the matter in one phase, but if I'm not it goes to another phase. It would make sense (hopefully the law does) that provided I'm responding and the IRS is cool with my responses that I'm not subject to the law.... but if I'm not responding then maybe the law takes effect?
