You seem to know plenty about it to me, along with the history... probably more than I do, so perhaps I’m not helping. Given that, your original question feels odd.

Thinking about what kind of science one might do around evolution, the neutral theory seems like a very natural thing to test against. It seems useful to disprove that a hypothesis might be part of a separate or competing theory. If you wanted to test that something is caused by natural selection, it would be very handy to show that it can’t be random mutation or genetic drift.

Anyway, you’re right, the null and alternative hypotheses can sometimes be the same, or to be pedantic, the null has to be at least the logical not of the alternative. But in practice, the alternative is not always nullable, and the null is usually answering a different question.

If you know about Fisher, then you also know his approach isn’t all that popular today, and that there’s a long history of people arguing about the benefits of a confidence test that is separate from the alternative hypothesis, the thing you’re trying to prove.
That was my experience. I went from the local community college to the top University in the state (currently a top 10 ranked public University) and found the the teachers at the community college were in most cases superior to the University professors.
> it’s hard to believe that the juice of 5 apples, a bunch of chard, a beet, 2 carrots, a stick of ginger and some celery would harm me or children.

Is this what each person gets or what you share with your children? That juice alone would contain around 100g of sugar, which regardless of where it comes from would be a lot for a single person, especially considering it won't be their only source of sugar in a day.

The problem with juices is that they're very easy to consume compared to their whole food counterpart and keep you full for a shorter time. I'm not sure exactly what definition you're using for fresh squeezed juice, but if you're not using the whole fruit then you're likely losing a lot of the fiber that makes whole fruit healthier

Australia does it, you can use your driver's licence, your passport, or your birth certificate and a recent bill. Or Medicare card.

There is no cost to requiring ID... It is you conflating the cost of acquiring an id with the cost of requiring one. As Australia shows, it can be done with a zero cost (birth certificates and Medicare cards are free)

Australia acheives a 90+% voter turn out. (Compulsory voting through fines) even our poorest are able to vote, that remaining 8% who don't vote are overseas, or missing.

US is lucky if it gets to 60%

The US system has serious problems that completely undermine a democracy... But hey, let's forget the forest and focus on this one tree right here.
There is a schedule based on availability and procedures. The time between the final legal decisions and the act isn't random, it just seems that way because those decisions happen behind closed doors. Outsiders don't see the full logic behind the dates/times but that doesn't make it random.
How do you learn to do this? I am a CS grad(Bachelors) and I got my first computer and started programming when I turned 19. Before then I used to just browse the web.

That's surprisingly high! Although I'd assume the total number of people have IDs is greater than the count of those who have bank accounts since there are multiple activities which require IDs (only one being opening a bank account).

Great, it’s de-centralized OAuth. All we need now is a replacement for the hideous URL login prompt. My preference would be for an AccountChooser-style list of accounts you’ve recently used so you can pick one and sign in—and enter a URL (or email) only if you need to.
Nothing against json but I disagree with that conclusion.

There are tools that support only syslog for example.

Sometimes your aim is to log a large number of events,sometimes you want to log a lot but with less frequency. Syslog or maybe even binary logging might make sense for high volume events due to how the extra json formatting adds up quickly (and that could have a financial cost to it!!). If you want to log a lot of events but the frequency needs to be low due to resource constraints,then json may or may not add to your problem. It may be a problem as an intrmediate format but not so much if the final processed log is also json. If the resource bottleneck is caused by the log processing stage then there almost certainly be a better format. But I am not speaking strictly of JS code like the author.

> You can still make $100k a year editing English.

The only employers paying that much are old-school publishers that are a bit of a hold-out but will eventually give way. As a translator often doing full-length books, I have witnessed some big publishing names severely slashing the amount they pay for editing (by doing things like outsourcing the job to India), and they don’t worry about any drop in quality because it is felt that in a web-heavy world, the public no longer cares too much.

It is depressing as fuck for me as a translator, because I put a lot of effort into my translations and I wish they would get the same level of love at the next stage of the publishing process, but this is the trend of the future.

Also, I feel lucky to still have work as a translator because many clients today are running the text through Google Translate and then just paying a native speaker to clean up the text for less money than they would have to pay a translator. Obviously that is not common in the mainstream publishing world, but it is increasingly happening with the marketing materials and technical manuals that are a translator’s daily bread and butter. “AI” is already hitting businesses based on human language hard.
In my opinion the author's suggestions are more minimalist than brutalist. Design aesthetics currently in play at Businessweek and The Outline are more commonly categorized as "brutalist" - but categorizing any style or design trend is a subjective exercise.

Off the top of my head, these are my impressions of what "brutalist web style" means at the moment:

- Playful departure from what western web society considers "good design" in 2018

- Experimental execution of white space occasionally using zero margins, less line spacing, unusual or no grids

- Limited color palettes, black with neon splashes of color

- Text frequently overlaps images (negative margins)

- Nostalgic of early web aesthetics with frequent nods to zine print design

That's just not true. Farmer's have benefited MASSIVELY.

Go try breaking some ground without a Rototiller, or tractor.

Harvest crops by hand. Or go ahead and seed by hand.

Oh! Don"t forget to weed! And you might want to fertilize as well.

The thing is there is only the IMPRESSION the farmer doesn't benefit from tech. Modern "Tech" I.e. software is no exception. The reality is the farmer has to cope with the realities of physical constraints, and learns how to deal with things in a way that requires minimal input. They acquire an economy of action.

"Tech" today wouldn't understand the notion if it slapped them in the face. "Lets make another thing to do a thing, so THIS thing is justified/monetized."

Ask a Farmer if or why they don't collect metrics on all their customers. If they aren't industrial, answer is easy. More important things to do.

You can learn a lot from the guys and gals who grow your food. I certainly have. The value you can get out of not doing things you don't need to can be quite large.
Hopefully a tighter labor market will result in higher wages for workers, reducing the necessity of overtime. There's some evidence that in the united states that employers are so powerful that even the tightest labor market in years isn't increasing wages.

EDIT: However, can you imagine such reforms being implemented here? This is the power of a leftist coalition capturing the state. As mild a reform as this is, it stretches the imagination for what is possible here.

If a person doesn't have a car, unless they live in a big city, they are likely to be poor. IF they are poor, they are on government assistance, right? So what ID do they use to get that assistance?

I’d love for you to explain how living life as an adult in the US without an ID is remotely close to possible for any reasonable length of time. Want a job? You need ID. Banks are obviosuly out, but so are prepaid reloadable cards. Live on cash only from an under-the-table job where you weren’t asked for ID? Fine, but where do you plan to live without ID? Even weekly motels require ID.

The idea that a legal, eligible-to-vote US citizen is running around living life in 2018 without any form of ID is preposterous.
Instead of filling out that form I'm going to search the many other streaming services available. And if I still don't find it, I'm not going to fill out a request form for each service. Perhaps Netflix could interpret users' searches as signals of interest.

Well in practice it would be very tough to over eat on protein alone. Assuming a 2000 calorie diet you'd need to eat over 500g of protein which is roughly 4lbs of chicken breast or 5lbs of tuna.

That's an amusing video. Well framed.

But as to your idea about life without an ID... I routinely refuse to show my ID to bank tellers, doctor offices, trains, planes, etc. I avoid most activities the require ID. There is one obvious exception--I drive every day.

I carry my ID with me at all times. But I refuse to show to somebody who is not writing me a traffic ticket. That refusal has not impeded my ability to conduct a normal life.

FWIW, I am not opposed to voter ID. I am opposed to universal ID. My voter ID should not be required to open a bank account, or rent an apartment. It should be for one purpose. I recently tried to open a bank account. They asked for my SSN. I gave it to them so they could report taxable income to the IRS. They asked for my drivers license. I refused. They asked for my employment history. I refused. If they asked for my shoe size, I would refuse.

Over-collection of personal data is a big problem right now. Most people facilitate it. I try to resist it.

So far, it hasn't prevented me from voting.
Exactly, it doesn't. Instead, OpenID had tons of weird bloat no one ever needed. XRI, XRDS, Yadis, WTF
I just finished my undergrad at a traditional four-year university in the United States and this is spot on. The language problem you mention is very real - I have taken classes with professors who are almost incomprehensible when speaking English. In some of my computer science lectures it was not uncommon for a student to ask the professor a question and for him to answer it in a language other than English, which doesn't seem fair.
I went to a liberal arts college and a lot of the virtues of community college mentioned in this thread remind me of my own experience (smaller class sizes, broader curricula, professors dedicated to teaching rather than research). Well, except price, anyway.

Mothers used to die from doctors not washing their hands. The lack of a price signal didn't mean it wasn't a problem, it meant none of the doctors understood how to solve the problem (and neither did the patients).
The problem I see with brutalist webdesign is that it focuses on the result instead of the process. Applying brutalism principles on the process (the upfront design and the actual code) would let beauty emerge by itself indeed, in a much more honest way.

That presumes that Y-way is inherently advantageous to X-way. There's still plenty of sites that can and are market leaders using an out-of-flavor framework like rails/spring mvc/.net. New frameworks do not necessarily supersede old ones - they are usually a response to new use cases that have cropped up. These use cases may or may not be important to your business.
Honestly it never occurred to me to even look for such an app.

It may simply be that this is built-in and thus more people will have/know about it.
In Germany, I too have to go to some citizens registration office to request an ID card (Personalausweis) and later go there again to retrieve it. It's about 30 EUR, and I have to bring a suitable photo myself, with additional cost and time for that. The thing is then valid for 10 years, tho when I move, I have to go there again to have them change my address on it (free, as of now).

Unless the costs and efforts in the US are unduly high - hundreds of dollars and taking off half a week from work or travel half the country - the claim voter ID laws are an actual poll tax designed to keep people away seems suspicious. Sure there is some hassle and a tiny bit of money required, but I don't see anybody claim that drivers licenses are a scheme to keep poor people off the streets in the same regard.
That makes sense. Where could I read a detailed account of these hearings and procedures for a typical case, in English?
I recently went from an Air to MBP 13" (not out of choice, work requirement) and the keyboards are horrible on both. The only noteworthy thing on the MBP one to me is the reliability issues, comparing the actual typing quality is apples to oranges.

But what I have realized is that in reality it's very rare that you have to actually use a laptop keyboard. Maybe only like once a week do I not use a proper USB keyboard, i.e. if having to visit a client or something.
This write-up is solid - but man, this product looks questionable. 40 cents per secret per month? With Credstash[0] or a moral equivalent[1] you pay a buck for a KMS key and microcents for the data storage.

RDS rotation is...fine, I guess, if you have an auditor who really wants that and can't write a scheduled job for the task (I've been using one with credstash so long it's just an automatic part of a new environment), but it's got me skeptical.

Something AWS could do, and I'd be very interested in, is a hosted moral equivalent to Vault. Give me a daemon or something to run on an instance, allow me to IAM-gate temporary SSH credentials (and chuck it in CloudTrail) and temporary SQL databases, and that I'd pay for 'cause I really don't want to deal with Vault or HashiCorp. But AWS Secrets Manager, by itself, doesn't really present a good reason-for-being to me.

Having worked 5 years in Korea I'd say the worst offenders don't let people work from home anyway. The main issue is that there's typically already a maximum overtime per week you can clock in. But this doesn't stop anyone to work beyond the limit and not claim those hours.

Let them. There should be citizenship for anyone living or working in this country for six months regardless of how they get here. To do otherwise is to exploit people and subject them to man's inhumanity to man as we are seeing with recent administration policies.

I did go a bit too far with my first sentence, but what you say about the F-35's effectiveness is much different than what I read from experts, who generally seem to see it as a very complex system, maturing, but with excellent potential.

Just to add, when Lister introduced antiseptic methods he was met with strong resistance from those same doctors who were equal parts annoyed with the messenger, and the message. It’s a hard thing to realize that you’d be killing thousands of people in your ignorance after all. It took quite a long time for his methods to be widely accepted and put into practice. Even when understanding emerges, you have to watch out for the entrenched interests defending themselves against change.
Kinda?

Every value has both a constructor that assigns memory, and a destructor that frees it. Every expression also reallocates it's memory as it processes. So memory is managed and doesn't leak, but it doesn't quite fit with what we know as a GC, and could trash performance in some cases.

And Tail-Call-Optimisation isn't really touched on.
One of my biggest regrets in life is how dismissive I was of community college back when I was applying to schools as a teenager. If the school didn't have "university" as part of the title, then I wasn't interested.

I went to a university, paid a ton of money, dropped out, and then found work as an engineer. If I had done community college, I would have probably gotten the same quality of education, but not have to spend the first year and a half of my post-dropout years paying back loans.

I have to admit, I do not know Turbolinks well, but I feel like the author misses something fundamental about the benefits of modern frameworks. It's not just about building a giant SPA - component-based design is a huge value proposition.

The problem I see at the moment is that client side "apps" - however they are rendered - hit a wall in complexity that is really hard to overcome without a a sane and sensible way to break them down into pieces. Just like every sane regular programming language has concepts of classes or modules or some kind of system for divide-and-conquering problems into pieces, your front end needs that too once it gets complex. And that's what these React/VueJS frameworks are doing for me. What I like is that they make the right solution - breaking a piece of logic or code into its own component - the easiest solution. So I tend to do the right thing, not because it's "the right thing" but because it happens to be the easiest thing to do.

I know this is a bit of a parallel argument with respect to whether you build a SPA or not (especially Vue can live in either world just fine). But I feel like the author is throwing out the component-baby with the SPA bathwater.
Yes. No.

Short: Good advice, if you include your expectations as a "default" or "reset" style that is applied before.

Long: This advice only works as long as browser vendors or users don't take up the liberty the specs grant them: to build a completely customized default ostyle (as mentioned in another comment "white page, left-aligned, black text").

Here are some thoughts for distributed auth:

https://github.com/Qbix/auth
From Wikipedia : "the third generation of OpenID technology, OpenID Connect, is an authentication layer that sits on top of the OAuth 2.0 authorization framework.[82] It allows computing clients to verify the identity of an end-user based on the authentication performed by an authorization server, as well as to obtain the basic profile information about the end-user in an interoperable and REST-like manner. In technical terms, OpenID Connect specifies a RESTful HTTP API, using JSON as a data format. OpenID Connect allows a range of organizations, including web-based, mobile and JavaScript clients, to request and receive information about authenticated sessions and end-users".

My favorite implementation: Keycloak.
