This article isn’t really about code design. It’s about information and interaction design primarily. The audience the author was writing for is probably more focused on the design rather than code.

With that said, this site is open source and so the community could help it become a example of cleaner/clearer/more minimal coding practices too.
GUIs made for X11 or Win32 20+ years ago have aged terribly.
I think you have to see before you raise and each of these APIs has changed in incompatible ways over its lifetime. With the possible exception of POSIX which is more of a standard/serving suggestion of slightly-incompatible implementations to begin with.

I wonder how much of their business is a result of QF selectively giving membership to the Chairmans' Lounge? It would surely mean a lot of revenue is steered / kept their way through travel policies.

Do any other airlines have an equivalent to CL? I assume the greater availability of private jets in the US rules it out there.
His view of Rust is a little more nuanced then you're getting here. Back in 2014 when Jonathan Blow started talking about the reasons for making a new programming language he discussed several languages including Go, D and Rust and provided specific reasons why they didn't satisfy his view of what a language for game programming should be. During that talk he said at one point; "if we're all writing programs in Rust ten years from now then that's great because I think it'll be a lot better than C++."

You should consider watching at least the first part of that talk. It made a splash at the time because there are several insights that people found provocative.

the same goes for any social problem you help solve.

People are quite upset about kids getting separated from parents at the border. Yet offer no help for the thousands of children that die every day.

Every person decides what cause is important to them. The hypocrisy is when people who favor one cause judge those who arent interested in that cause.
I don't know about that stat, but:

Alaska has six times as many pilots and 16 times as many aircraft per capita as the rest of the nation.

(I've seen the 6x as many pilots stay previously. This is the first thing I found that repeated it.

The way it usually seems to work is that people assume the worst case scenario even when there's no information to support that. So people would get mad about the Jello.
That is possible; but then the guy on site can just say thanks but no thanks.

> Part of what drives my thinking is the assumption that the moneyed capitalists will fight to defend individual property rights, and that we can build a socialist system inside of the capitalist system.

It's not an entirely unreasonable approach; it's been used with some notable success in, e.g., the Mondragón system.

OTOH, tax-and-redistribute is even more well-established an approach, being a feature of virtually all modern mixed economies.

> I’ll have to look in to the reform you speak of in Mexico. Do you have any more details to guide my search on that?

The ley Lerdo of 1856 (especially it's application to indigenous communities) and the Constitutional amendment to allow privatization of land held in ejidos that were formed as part of the land reforms of the Mexican Revolution under President Salinas in 1992 are the two notable Mexican examples.
Before the internet, school guidance offices and your local library had printed catalogs and cross-referenced directories of colleges. Magazines like US News & World Report would publish their annual college rankings.

This wasn't hard information to come by.

It's hard to believe you didn't know about your home state university. Your athlete friends surely followed the fortunes of their football team. Around here the State U team is constantly in the newspaper and on the nightly local TV news sports roundup. This has been true in every place I've lived in, decades before the internet.
Retirement at 80? Both my in-laws are gone, both cancer victims, one died at 67, the other 74. My mother is 81 with severe dementia, she doesn't know who I am. My father, the only really left standing, has two hip replacements and one knee, and has had a quadruple bypass operation as well. He thinks he can still work, but the reality is that he can barely care for himself and my mother at all.

Now, based on talking to my parents off and on for the last couple of decades, I can assure you that what I stated above is not at all unusual, not in the least. My dad has outlived his entire cohort of friends and associates. All of them are already dead.

So, can we please get back to reality on the whole work thing? You aren't going to be working at age 80. Almost nobody is capable of doing so, the ones who do are the far outliers. I often wonder how guys like Trump, a man in his 70s, can be so energetic knowing what I know about absolutely everyone else that I know who is in their 70s? It makes zero sense. Warren Buffett is another weird outlier. Just retire already.

My plan is to retire as absolutely soon as possible and work part-time if I need to. Health insurance is the one stumbling block in the US, it's damn expensive and getting worse each year and will have to hit a breaking point sooner or later. I took 3 months off from work last year--quit a consulting gig and didn't take another job. It was great, but also nerve-wracking to get re-employed after that. I found myself having to explain way too much about why I did that.

Another anecdote: I've been visiting with a career counselor. So far my biggest takeaway from that is that most people who write code for a living go to a career counselor because they don't want to write code for a living anymore. Not one person counseled towards tech! And here I am, trying to squeeze a few more years out of a programming career!
If you use Rails until you can't and then start making a SPA you'll have the common pattern of an application where you never have any idea whether any given thing is built in the Rails templates or in the JS or in some combination of the two.
I think that quickly becomes untrue if you have any significant amount of front-end functionality.

How is it possible to generalize to a population of 320 million?
One issue with Artificial Intelligence is that it is typically referred to and understood in a way that concludes it is similarly functional in its domain as actual (i.e. human) intelligence would be. In reality AI is more akin to artificial cheese. Artificial cheese is not cheese just made with different ingredients. It is something vaguely cheese like made in a way completely dissimilar to real cheese.
I knew it was just a matter of time before the top comment is something disparaging about the story which was already disparaging about typical modern web design. And this comment beats them all because its disparaging about that comment.

> Nobody's raided the Cayman Islands yet.

The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory. A seastead isn't going to be an overseas territory of a significant power in its own right that is also a NATO member and permanent UNSC seat holder.
Anyone else noticed that the top comment is always trying to one up the poster?
For a while I thought that everyone on hacker news was just a contrarian, but now I realize that there is a culture of one-up manship that permeates every facet of the site. Anyone else notice this? Is this just how tech people are? Why does it have to be that way? It gets kind of annoying after a while.
Why are so many retail brands closing?
It really is. I guarantee the film is already in the works.
The Coherent documentation is tops: http://www.nesssoftware.com/home/mwc/manual.php

Really impressive what the people at MWC did with an 8088.
The U.S. Government forced the Cayman Islands to expose people using the Island Nation as a tax haven, thus negating the benefits of the islands and large parts of the clientele have gone elsewhere. Since these are only expected to be a half mile offshore they are going to end up being subject to whatever nation-state they are offshore of. Were they to try this in the deep ocean I suspect rogue waves would be an issue. Either way this isn't likely to succeed politically, although I see no reason why technologically it wouldn't. It's more likely going to end up being a playground for the ultra wealthy to sometimes visit and say they have property on.
The problem with being broke and lazy is that the quality of life totally sucks and that a single health emergency probably means you are going to die. Food for thought.

Also, it sucks but I can tell you firsthand that having a million dollars isn't that helpful. I don't worry about bills, but I can't really retire young. Well, I could, but I would never be able to travel, pay for my kids' college, or have any unexpected expenses for the rest of my life, which would totally suck.
There is that and there are other things to distract people as well. People now have pretty much all the porn and entertainment they can watch as well as other internet-enabled distractions in their lives. You could be in the middle of nowhere and have the ability to get distracted by people hundreds, thousands of miles away.

I think this helps too.
While President Trump may not have billions, he does have multiple aircraft carriers at his disposal and would love a place to put all the immigrants. I would suggest keeping the book away from Fox News or they may give him the idea.
There are so many issues with either a pod or a solid tube. The biggest one is buoyancy. If it is full of air it will need to be weighted, and have air added/removed to adjust for pressure changes with depth. But imagine if the kid "turns turtle". Any brief head-down orientation will result in the fabric collapsing around the kid's head as the air rushes up to his feet. Correcting this requires forcefully turning the kid around to keep his head up. This is one (of many) reasons why commercial divers in dry suits use solid helmets. It isn't an issue for wetsuits. I'd rather slap a full helmet on the kid and tie him up into a bundle. It won't be pretty but does solve the buoyancy issues. I'm sure they are also considering drugging the kids to reduce the risk of panic attacks.

Here is the nasa device, the personal rescue enclosure:

(It wouldn't work. Wrong shape and no buoyancy control.)

Telescript is still something that intuitively seems like a good idea for a certain class of problem. In some ways, while it's a bit of a stretch, I would argue that Map/Reduce is a different encoding of this idea -- that the code should be mobile because the data isn't. Clearly Java was inspired by this concept and has been quite successful, but people aren't running applets for the most part anymore, so the one of the fundamental ideas motivating Java turned out to be irrelevant to its success. And yet on the other hand we have ReactNative and its equivalents sending JavaScript code off to the computers in our pockets. Even GMail and the original AJAX concepts are a re-creation of the Telescript concepts.

I hope Andy realizes that this idea isn't wrong so much as it was bad timing (like the rest of what General Magic was doing). The world today has transposed the ideas, but they're still recognizable in very successful platforms with significant mindshare.
Agreed. My only assertion was that the position was over stated. Not that I disagreed with it. :)

>The Chicago Tribute is a small paper in chicago.

The Tribune is the top newspaper in Chicago (the third-largest US city) and the eighth-largest paper in the country by circulation - about the same as the Washington Post. It may not have the journalistic reputation of the Post or the New York Times, but it's certainly a major national newspaper.
Hard to argue with the results. He ran engineering at Clover Health from the very beginning and it’s now a highly successful company.

I'm sorry. This just isn't succinct. You've immediately lost me. The idea is nice, and perhaps it works well within the realm of puzzle-specific scripting, but there's nothing here for a casual reader to interpret.

There's a crow in Yorkshire, UK who's been filmed "speaking" with a Yorkshire accent. "Y'alright, love?"

You're contradicting yourself again. There's a reason why weakness is a strength in formalisms.
require more expertise to solve in a way that doesn't require the application/clients to change.

Surprise! IT is hard and requires experts. Either hire one, or become one, but either way, the idea that "nobody in my enterprise/company/team need to understand the details of how stuff works" is crazy. Imagine a car-mechanic shop where nobody knows how an engine works: "we plugged in the computer tool, and it said something is wrong with your engine. I guess you need a new one"

Animals generally have smoother brains than we do. It'd be fascinating to engineer a line of parrots with wrinklier brains.
Wholeheartedly agree!

This entire thing we have going wouldn't be possible without the GNU project. And GNU would never have happened without RMS. The man is a giant. A giant with huge glaring flaws, but every single one of us that did anything with unix-like OSes in the past 30 years owes the man.

Sadly I fear that much like Peirce, Stallman will be forgotten by history because of the acumen of his primary detractors.

I think it's probably pretty reasonable to refer to most humans as being at least somewhat self-centered. Which implies: There's nothing quite so interesting as the thing you do yourself!
I think they know it helps to mold people one way, to get them to "drink the cool-aid" as it were, in a cool "Soviet retro" kind of way. Art in ideology isn't much different from art in propaganda (i.e. advertising), it serves similar purpose.

I think it also might be easier to get interviews and job offers for specialist positions where there's less demand. I'm not prepared to make a strong case for that, but I did feel like selling myself as a Ruby on Rails developer made certain portions of technical interviewing a lot more straight forward than when I was interviewing for "I'm a software engineer" roles. Just a feeling.
It feels like I read an article like this every few years.

AI is nonsense. Dijkstra was right.

I'm not saying that silicon/mechanical intelligence isn't possible. I'm unaware of any physical law that precludes it. But what we currently call "AI" is just the pathetic fallacy run wild.

All that said, multidimensional data-driven linear recognizers are pretty impressive.

I agree with you, however the chainsaws in your example are definitely hard as hell... consensus algorithms, net splits -- and you already have much more a single programmer could handle (most of us anyway).
Try developing Slack or Discord with Rails and turbolinks. The point is, some apps are naturally SPAs. For those that aren't then it is unneeded complexity to make them SPAs. Also personally, I have had great experience with Vue in an SPA.

>...Ground-based solar has a cost in terms of the land being unavailable for other purposes, such as agriculture or housing or even just maintaining ecosystems in their natural state.

True, but I was mostly comparing the safety record. The death rate for rooftop solar is probably at least an order of magnitude worse than ground based solar. Even with subsidies it is also much more expensive.

>...There are also benefits to having energy production right at the point of use, since you avoid grid losses and are offsetting the retail cost of energy rather than selling into the grid at wholesale prices.

Very little of rooftop solar is used on site - it is just added to the grid.

That's great to hear! Did you have the disc replaced? I have similar pain in L5-S1 due to a disc protrusion affecting the nerves in that region (either via impingement or, more likely, inflammation). Unfortunately, the surgeon I consulted said that surgery is rarely performed that far down the spine unless there's really serious symptoms.

In the meantime, I keep monitoring these studies on mesenchymal stem cells for disc regeneration, hoping one of them makes it to clinical trials :(

This author doesn't seem to understand basic security. OAuth1a doesn't protect from "account takeover / impersonation attacks". OAuth1a just signs requests while OAuth2 delegates that to TLS.

No matter how secure the lock, someone gets the keys to the house (account takeover) they can open the door.
It looks like they are concerned that OAuth 2.0 doesn't include a cryptographic signature of the request body, as seen in OAuth 1.0.

My understanding is that OAuth 2.0 dropped that signature in favour of requiring TLS to protect against tampering. I'd be interested to know why Mastercard doesn't consider this to be as good as the request body signatures in OAuth 1.0.
