I didn't say slow, I said efficient. Its hilariously verbose compared to a decent binary protocol. Failing that something based on protobuffers.

In the embedded world a JSON/XML parser eats a tonne of resources.

One could of course use it over satcomm as it says, but its hilariously expensive when you are paying by the byte. But, compared to a massive JSON goop with embedded pictures that twitter uses, its a paragon of speed.
What do you mean? Neurons work exactly like if/then statements. If (input > level) {transmit information}
Putting the good of the community before your personal comfort is not a trait unique to Nazis. Anybody who doesn't commit tax evasion is doing it. What made the Nazis unique was their particular notion of what constituted "good for the community".
I don't really trust that chart. Like all tech in Mexico, the iPhone X is 30% more than the US price. I was in the Telcel store in Guadalajara last week and it was 1400 USD as I'd expect.

"Luxuries the same price around the world" is just straight wrong. I don't know how anyone could think that who has lived in various countries, especially for American goods.

For example, no matter where I've lived in the world, it was 25%-50% cheaper to wait until I visited family in Texas to purchase new Levi's.
> payday loan provider probably isn’t deluding themselves about making an impact

Having worked at a YC-backed alternative to payday lender (https://www.//lendup.com) and having spent a lot of the time in the call center listening to our customers, I'd suggest that a lender to folks without access to credit can have much more impact than you could possibly imagine. Being able to instantly inject $500 into the bank account of someone that needed it for a car repair or they'd lose their job when they couldn't get it elsewhere was only one of the many, many examples. Now multiply that by hundreds of thousands of customers, and the impact is not trivial by any measure.

Taking something that is incredibly painful and making it a delight at scale is a beautiful thing, almost no matter how trivial that thing is. I'm reminded of when Steve Jobs forced the Apple team to shave 30 seconds off of the startup time, because multiplied by the number of people who use Apple devices it's the equivalent of years in aggregate.

I love that there are thousands of companies trying to change the world by making the one thing they work on absolutely perfect. It's a great thing.

You're just wrong. Platforms like Facebook already use protocols like this for their content propagation. This has nothing to do with your offline mobile feed reader.

It is not. Also, Websub does not change anything for clients just directly fetching the RSS feed.
This looks like a clearly written, compact, and easy-to-use neural network library. It could be useful for pedagogy, but the README should also mention (unless I missed it) for naive readers that it is pretty much completely inappropriate for production since it uses no vector instructions nor GPU computation. It will be slow compared to any more sophisticated neural network library for anything but the most trivial applications.

Why is this a bad thing? I've seen people mentioned this before in a negative way, but I don't understand why it hurts tumblr.
No, but it similarly could've been used to increase the company in question's market share.
I feel like good search is to Apple as good taste is to Microsoft. It's like it's against their DNA or something.
Trump 'angry baby' gets green light to fly over London during president's visit
Despite the hyperbolic title, the article dwells into the reasons for Tumblr's perceived and actual decline. Among them: reliance on user-generated content being a blessing and a curse, issues around learning and navigating emergent community etiquette, and users' eventual frustrations around discovery, privacy, and harrassment. Some suppositions are made about management style before and after the Yahoo acquisition, but in truth Tumblr was always buggy, new features came out and disappeared, and reappeared with little warning, and Yahoo's impact, aside from more ads and a different account creation flow, was mostly in users' minds.

Ironically, the list isn't too different from issues that face other sites based around user-generated content, like Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook. Tumblr was the platform en vogue for many who coalesced around an interest or an identity, for entertainment and self-exploration alike, but the same ease of discovery that allowed Sherlock fans to find each other, or Questioning individuals to explore LGBTQ+ communities, make now-revoked or now-offensive posts easy to find, and make it easier for malicious actors to target, troll, and harrass.

The pendulum is swinging back towards more closely moderated, more closed communities, that even if they represent groups that are marginalized in the overworld, are more homogenous around a particular set of attributes. This migration is slowly leaving Tumblr feeling stale. Given enough time and enough people, another platform will grow to fulfill the same social purpose that Tumblr once did for a different generation of users, and some time later those unhappy with that platform will migrate to somewhere more public to benefit from greater exposure and a more diverse cavalcade of content.

It seems like everyone just uses Apple's podcast directory through their API. Since Apple doesn't host the podcasts themselves it's relatively easy to use.
This statement stood out to me too. If this were truly the way forward, just make the cars inherently unsafe for pedestrians. Then we will all learn that these vehicles mean certain death. That has generally worked well with poisons like cyanide. Don't drink cyanide, it will kill you. We can say the same for autonomous cars, don't step into the road, the AI cars will kill you.

To be clear, I am not in favor of building our urban transportation networks with an automotive mode focus. I feel that non-motorized transportation and safety needs to be the main focus, even if that means auto modes become inconvenient.
I agree that celebrity endorsements are effective. The question is why are they effective. I disagreed that celebrity endorsements influence perceived quality. This is different than perceived value which includes many factors, one of which is perceived quality.

A google search provides very little studies that address endorser on perceived quality of the product. The couple I found provided mixed results, with questionable applicability to western audiences (E.g. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2814907).

Those who are asserting that its obviously true that endorser influences perceived quality apparently do not have the literature behind them.
For example, no one believes LeBron James wears Nike because they're the best, they know he's being paid $1 billion to wear them.

Consider the possibility that all basketball shoes are substantially identical, and that Nike is paying LeBron $1B simply to differentiate theirs.

Very possibly. But that would be easily reproducible with layers as well.

> virtue signaling

the use of this meme seems seems rather correlated with a particular group of people.
My biggest gripe with the language is the template thing. Templates are wonderful, but it often gets out of hand, especially with library code (I'm looking at you boost). While the interview is clearly a satire, it seems that templates were designed, or ended up upgraded, specifically to create a class of 'experts'. Being able to deal with highly nested templated code seems to be the mark of an expert, more than any other aspect of the language. Then, the whole template meta programming is just nuts and a circlejerk of sorts.

A week back I had to parse some Unicode text that had a BOM on Windows. I was using fstream. The code to be able to read the BOM was so incredibly contrived, with all the templated codecvt stuff, that I said fuck it and went back to FILE* and manually skipped the first two bytes.

> America ended all forms of slavery, including indentured servitude, under the 13th amendment after the civil war.

No, it didn't; the 13th Amendment explicitly excluded penal slavery from it's general abolition of slavery, and overt penal slavery continued long after the 13th Amendment, having been radically expanded in its immediate aftermath (and, arguably, penal slavery continues in the U.S. today.)

> Our Founders knew the fight against slavery was coming

They did, which is why several provisions of the Constitution were put into place to protect the institution and stack the deck for the coming fight.
This is the most interesting way of doing it I've seen. How would this be configured/the scripts distributed?
>It's not clear what you intend to do with these names, but I don't see anything good coming out of it.

Just demonstrating that you know a lot of even remotely private information about somebody is a very effective intimidation method.
Why is it "non-scrupulous" for a dev to charge for a new version of piece of software? Are they suppose to update an app forever without further compensation?
Thank goodness, that thing was horrific. It even read like ISPs were supposed to filter user content.

You can always sell the cars if it fails.
Quite true.

I already used Oberon, Caml Light, Prolog and Smalltalk by then, but it was the way Sun was pushing it no matter what that actually made it mainstream, regarding GC adoption.

If I am not mistaken it was Guy Steele that stated it brought developers half way to Scheme.

As for the library I remember the first commercial Java collections based on the ongoing C++ STL work, before Java 1.2 adopted their own, with a few similarities to Smalltalk ones.

C++ on those days had each compiler vendor provide their own view of what a C++ framework should look like, and although RAII was already a thing, very few of them already offered some way of doing smart pointers, with the exception of COM wrappers.
>Async "callbacks" in Javascript do not have return semantically meaningful values.

Async callbacks in javascript cannot return semantically meaningful values to sync code. But the classic "callback hell" is when you have async code calling other async code. In that case, a callback can absolutely return a meaningful value to the other async callback. And yes, that is a common and valid use.

>This PEP is even more exquisitely awful if that is truly the dominate use case.

I don't particularly disagree with you here.
One important topic missed is time. MySQL default table engine was non-ACID MyISAM until 2010, the internet is chock full of pre- 2010 era blogposts authoritatively declaring mysql can never be ACID compliant which is doubly wrong because InnoDB was added around 2010 so I guess its possible to have an eight year old untouched install where innodb is available and possibly in use, but not default. Mysql can't do transactions is another decade-obsolete mantra that is very common for same reason.

Another topic not mentioned is scalability and hardware reqs change over time. Something that would have required a large database cluster and Oracle and a huge pile of money in the 90s or some strange nosql in the 00s can be done today on sqlite on a single ras pi. You have to trace the requirements backwards all the way. "We have to do something exotic unreliable and complicated in 2018" is usually a short version of "We have to do something exotic unreliable and complicated in 2018 because we spec'd how to do that in 2003, but we'd never do that again in 2018"

A topic not discussed is the dreaded anti-pattern of internal platform. Make your DB and the paperwork around it complicated enough, your distant devs will take a dump from the DB and emulate a truly awful and buggy simulation of a real DBMS in javascript or whatever. World is full of devs doing "Select * from ..." then writing their own un-indexed WHERE clause in their frontend UI, for example. I've seen people try to be better at sorting than the DB, cringy stuff. Just saying whenever you have a DBMS its a natural human desire for devs to write an inner platform DBMS emulating things that should be done in the DB.

The final topic I have is busywork expands to fill all available hardware and a constant DBMS problem is people will max out any DBMS, no matter how large, with meaningless trivialities if you have the spare gigs and cycles. And you'll never get an honest answer from business users, everything is critical means nothing is actually critical. Those are business anti-patterns all DBMS need to fight against regardless of technology, and are present at all DBMS installations.

Its possible I missed some of those topics if they were in fact in there.

I strongly disagree. Finding a product on Amazon is significantly easier than finding something in the App Store. Sometimes even if you know the exact name of the app you literally cannot access it unless you have the URL. Their search is awful and forget browsing with the amount of content.

If you want to defeat your opponents, a great thing to do. Keep track of them. The best service you can give to an enemy, is to forget him.

>My opponents are bad laws and bad ideas. Let's make lists of those.

Don't you think that bad ideas are possessed by bad people?

In my view of the world, the root of all good and bad are the people. People's deeds and ideas don't live separate lives from physical human beings having/doing them.

We do this as well. Some additional benefits:

- Jenkins can manage credentials and inject them into your script, so you don't have to expose them to the user or put them in source control.

- You can easily add lots of helpful things like email and chat integration (e.g. have a job yell in Slack if the script fails).

- You can integrate Jenkins with Active Directory and require a user to be in a particular group to trigger a job.

- Jenkins gives you a centralized place to record audit logs of who invoked what.

Jenkins can be a pain to learn and manage, but its super powerful and worth while.
A huge portion of the American TV-watching demographic doesn't pay very much attention to shows while they are watching it. So they prefer shows that have predictable rehashing of the same plot each season. Think Supernatural, Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon a Time. You don't really need to put effort into remembering previous episodes because you've seen them enough to get the gist without any background.

Shows like NCIS, Law & Order, and Criminal Minds will literally run the same plot each episode. These are some of the most popular TV shows in history.

Studio executives don't want to accept that they have a hit show that doesn't cater to this demographic. Once the main story wraps up, usually after 4-5 seasons, the original creator will get fed up or fired because they are unwilling to drag the story out any longer. Then the studio brings in a generic writing team to transform the show into one of those a predictable rehash shows.

It never works because the people who are into those shows won't get past the first four seasons, and the original fans of the show get tired and stop watching.
Its an orthographic rendering, that's why there are no perspective shifts.

VS Code June 2018
I'll say it straight: You really do not know what this spec is talking about, that is why you are indeed misunderstanding this. And that's the positive interpretation. By now your points amount to nonsense as they support a unsupportable position. Not one of those points has any relevance to this discussion:

- This would not change

- WebSub has nothing to do with mobile devices

- This is not up for you to decide, and the server powering online feed reader or platforms like facebook do have a lot of data sources

- That's not a point? For the type of RSS readers you are thinking about that would not change.

- A CDN has nothing to do with this.

- No. It is a decentralized/federated protocol, no middle man can do that.

Your bonus point is invalid: The 3rd party is already there (pubsubhubbub is used in production), this is not primarily about this type of traffic reduction you are thinking about, but yes, the ressources needed to do without websub what can be done with websub on a big scale are enormous.

Again, this is about enabling push architectures for server to server communication and a scalable way to achieve real time notifications. The tiny feed reader application on your smartphone is not directly related to any of this. It would not use this protocol, it can't use this protocol, and it would not stop working because of this protocol.

Edit: I made this sound a bit nicer than initially. It really feels like you want to misunderstand this spec, this annoys me a bit.
