Huh? Lots of prominent scientists have been found to do just that.

>And even then, the fabrications are usually discovered.

We only get to know about the ones that do get discovered, so there's no way to know if this happens "usually" rather than "rarely".

It is used in print to pack in the most letters into a single line, because the layout is fixed and words can be broken. It was simply economic to do so. Today we don't have that constraint and with tons of displays we can't be sure how the text will look fully justified.

Browsers are indeed bad at it, but we don't need fully justified text in the first place. For me personally, I prefer varying line lengths because I can easily keep track where the previous line was.

Right. If anything, bavaria is illegally overreaching here in an effort to protect the AfD. Given the political development of the governing party of bavaria (the CSU developed into a right wing party and is fighting for destabilizing the moderate government) this police action is probably a political friendship offering between the two.
Not necessarily. It can just mean using one that came out this decade instead of last. It's clearly silly to re-architect every year, but it's not absurd to do an update/reconsideration once every 4-5 years, especially at a smaller company.

On the other side, there's plenty of new tech that my company isn't using yet, but will let me study or send me to conferences to learn about. Just because you work somewhere that's still built on old tech doesn't mean you can become proficient with newer ones. Especially if you're planning to look for a new job at a company who likely does.

It's also a logical impossibility to really determine whether "fabrications are usually discovered" or not.

We can only know about fabrications after they have been discovered -- so there could be 2x or even 10x as much that we don't know about and count among the "non fabricated" work.

The normal combat load in the US army is 60 to 100 pounds including body armor and batteries. People are expected to travel long distances over rough terain by foot, and run short distances. The average pyramid builder may have been somewhat shorter on average, but they would have been extremely fit.

People building these things where not stupid. These stones where not being lifted over boulders or anything just reasonably flat level ground.

PS: You will note the pyramid happens to be near a very nice river flowing in the correct direction. So, they don't exactly need to build hundreds of miles of roads, just enough to minimize effort.
The main problems addressed in my opinion:

- Code duplication between server and client side

- Added complication threw data transmission between server and client (REST/json)

I think, both problems can be addressed by:

- having (a single) code that works both on server and client-side

- having transparent transport mechanisms for information between client and server.

I am sure, I could implement such a thing for Python/Django, using the already existing tools. But I am not sure, if such a thing would be appreciated by the community.

What do you think?
This is an excellent chart. Now match it up with the times when minimum wages increased - I used the following URL to figure out when those were:

https://bebusinessed.com/history/history-of-minimum-wage/

The big drop goes from June 2008 to October 2009 - which is indeed when we had not one but two increases to federal minimum wage.

However, look at all the other times when we had minimum wages increase - even when employment decreased, there was a pretty quick recovery. I'd argue that 2008 and 2009 minimum wage increases also happened during a recession, and that they were only part of the contribution to the large drop. Am I missing something?
I feel that minimum wage pushes companies to invest in technology and automation. Which is always good. Set the minimum wage at $50 and eventually no human will need to work for so less money.

> That's not true though. Surplus value is produced all the time

What I mean is that the surplus isn't that large unless there is high unemployment. At low unemployment the marginal employer might pay a $24 wage producing $25 worth of value, not a $5 wage producing $25. In which case a) a low minimum wage does nothing because everybody already makes more, and b) you can't raise it to e.g. $30 or you're back to causing unemployment.

At high unemployment the employer producing $25 worth of value and the employer producing $5.25 worth of value can both pay $5. A higher minimum wage extracts more from the first but prices the second out of the market and causes their employees to lose their jobs. Which is quite silly when there are known alternatives that don't do that.

I'd never turn an application down automatically just because the candidate didn't list the javascript framework of the month in their CV.

In my job -where I'm not in HR- I've seen plenty of candidates with hundreds of skills listed in their LinkedIn profile, only to find out later, when they were hired, their complete lack of understanding of the most basic principles related to the field we're working on.
As far as I know, this blog is the reason for the raids:

https://augsburgfuerkrawalltouristen.noblogs.org/

> They are hunting down people protesting AfD

They are trying to stop the AfD party convention, the blog describes which Autobahns members are likely to take and threatening Hotels if they allow AfD-Members. This kind of stuff had happened at every prior party convention of the AfD. The city actually organized a peaceful protest.

> They are the new Nazi Party

Some of their leaders have trivialized Nazi Crimes in the past.
Shaming applicants publicly on your blog - not classy. I've no doubt this will deter many otherwise skilled candidates from ever applying to work with you, and it opens you to potential liability besides. (If you don't understand this last part: stop hiring immediately until you do.)

So here's some free advice: don't talk about individual candidates publicly, not even anonymously, and especially not in such a negative way. It's in extremely bad taste, and you have nothing whatsoever to gain from it.

> it's likely either a small project, or one with excessive tech debt, or one with no desire to modernize.

I disagree. JQuery and React are just tools. Using one or the other doesn't mean one has more tech debt or its a small project. You should use the one that gets the job done. By saying JQuery is 'bad' and React is 'good', the programmer fails to understand the purpose of the tool.

The question the programmer should ask is whether choosing one over the other has any advantage in that particular project. I program frontend reluctantly when needed because I am a backend programmer. But I would choose either tool depending on what is needed.

> Wasn’t the whole point of the internet that geographical distance no longer matters?

Yup, the EU needs to understand that.
If it's important enough, I guess the registrar could be used as relay.

But I do see your point. On the one hand, I'd suggest an optional "reach the owner" part of whois, where one could list a physical or digital address (doesn't even have to be email, I sometimes list social network presence on "about" pages as contact method for unimportant sites, to prevent spam). But on the other hand, we already have a place where you can optionally put your contact details: the very website we're talking about. And there you can apply any anti-spam measures you want, which you cannot do if it's in a public directory somewhere.

I think it's fine if people have to publish their contact info themselves.
Justification was used because people thought equal width columns looked better. Columns of text are generally unnessary in the digital world because you can have one infinitely long column.

In Grid Systems in Graphic Design (1981) the author argued against justification because he thought having spaces of different lengths between words created a poor rhythm (I will find the exact quote tomorrow).
They mean "greater than or equal to", which doesn't make it correct, but at least makes sense of their point.

Sonos is intentionally making the internet requirement more onerous.

About a year ago, they started requiring you to create an account to add new speakers. Now, the app is displaying threats to remotely disable my $2800 speaker setup if I don’t create an account.

The funny thing is that I plan to more than double the system, and they’ve severely pissed me off (if they’re now willing to pull basic functionality, what do they plan in the future?)

Anyway, it occurred to me that, with the right software, you can probably get comparable audio quality for much less of a markup with a raspberry pi, and maybe an external DAC.

What the fuck.

React/Angular is not that complicated to get started with. You can just teach them on the job and have an opportunity to teach them correctly. These frameworks aren't some high arcana that you need to take a sabbatical from the world and isolate yourself on a mountain village to learn.

Oh nice, let's just ignore 4 years of university + X years at the first job because that certainly indicates nothing about someone's learning and development.

ClearCase is only similar to CVS as it is a centralised version control system otherwise it's very different
I didn't know that this was part of WHOIS, I thought separate services such as BGP looking glasses provided this. And other organizations (IANA and RIRs iirc) hand out AS numbers and prefixes. But even if it were part of WHOIS, then this is non-personal information which should be fine to list in a public directory.

YYMV. I once submitted a patch to OpenBSD without any prior knowledge of CVS and found it easier than my first contact with GitHub.

Pure git without GitHub may be a little easier than CVS.
I still call and expect calls as a domain admin, you shouldn't have to go to the police to get something resolved.

There are a bunch of people in this thread claiming that "WHOIS ... won't be missed" or "nobody uses WHOIS properly these days", and it just gives me the impression that a) they operate delinquent, abusive domains for which they receive calls or b) they think that because they haven't used WHOIS productively, they never will.

Congress isn’t just considering banning it “just because”. There’s certainly a ton a lobbying money (ie bribes) by big pharma to make sure this un-patentable drug can’t cut into their own profits on painkillers. Kratom simply doesn’t have the lobbying power to make it a legal drug.
With a family full of type II's, here's the first step:

Get your health in order by no longer eating garbage. Your body is riding the insulin roller coaster and it's giving out. Eat meat, dairy, and vegetables only. The conventional wisdom, the USDA, and the farm lobby insist on carbs being a big part of your diet, but they're not the ones with diabetes (they're the ones who gave it to you).

Steer clear of all carbonated beverages from Diet Coke to Perrier. The CO2-punch to the gut from sodas stimulates ghrelin, which'll make you hungry in 2 hours, and aggravate your diabetes in a half-dozen ways.

This won't solve all your problems, but it's remarkable how much easier life feels when you're not going through it sick.

I think one has to work a little without a tool to truly understand why the tool has exists. Many new developers are forced to use git and they just don't understand why they have to go through this painful process.

I started without version control. I very quickly realised that it's very easy to break a project but forget how to undo your latest breaking changes. I discovered subversion and it was amazing. It was 2006 and I was the only person on my course to my knowledge who was using version control.

At around that time git came out and some people were trying it but many people said it was completely unnecessary for most projects. I then tried to use svn for a project with more than just myself as a developer and it was a disaster. We had giant commits once a day that cause conflicts every time. It was horrible. Git was truly amazing. I agree the cli isn't great (I use magit) but you have to have lived without it to understand why it's so important.
Seems more like it's the police finding the "criminal" first and only then looking for the crime.
I guess I’ve become an old greybeard while I wasn’t paying attention. When I started out in software development CVS, and later Subversion were the best we had.

The emergence of git and GitHub have transformed Open Source development, being able to just open a pull request or an issue and know you’ll get notified when things happen is great - I’ve submitted patches for many things which I just wouldn’t have bothered signing up to a mailing list to keep track of in the past.

Am glad this is highlighted now. Back in 2015, when we wanted to build an meeting scheduling bot, we naively thought we could use only machines to get the job done. 3 months later we realized that was no way feasible, not then not in the next 10 years. So the common feedback we got was to just use low cost labor in India/Phillipines to get the job done. To us, that was a no-go because we kept privacy as the top criterion for doing anything with people's inboxes. Even after obfuscation, we didn't want any human to read or parse soeone's private messages. So we dropped the idea and shut shop. Sure we failed, but at least we were true to our conscience.

Another way to have tackled this problem was to just go down the research route and build a product once the ML was fully baked, but VCs won't fund such adventures.

To get VC funding, we had to lie through our teeth, which was a total no-go. I am not bringing the righteous argument, but for once I feel really good that our viewpoints held then are corroborated now, some kind of confirmation bias kicking in.
The article describes the perfect recipe for hiring the same type of a person for every open role.
The motivator to give people raises is that you must meet minimum wage and that you still need those workers.

You don't need a larger building when there are less people in it, and you don't need more teachers when there are less students.

The argument you described is very different from mine. Mine is more like "schools say books are worth $10, but the prices of books raise to $11. Nevertheless, schools continue buying books"

If you don't believe this, there's data on the subject of minimum wage increases and percent employment. Look at this comment and my explanation below it:

>The normal combat load in the US army is 60 to 100 pounds including body armor and batteries. People are expected to travel long distances over rough terain.

Wearing specially mounted load, in specially designed clothing, hooks and suck, and nicely distributed among various body parts.

And even the higher end of that range (100 pounds) is still 1/55 the weight of the huge, monolithic, piece of rock.

>People building these things where not stupid. These stones where not being lifted over boulders or anything just flat level ground.

They didn't have to be stupid to have to lift them over non-flat ground. They just had to not have a source of such rocks in a straight line over flat ground to the pyramids.

Plus, when they got them there, they had to raise them appropriately.

Not to mention the cutting of those stones at the quarry itself.

I wonder how the kid's behavior would change if they changed the size of the robot, either to adult size of much smaller.

Having it child-sized might make children consider them a sort of peer, with all the social dynamics that entails. I think a kid behaving like the robot does would get treated quite similarly.
Using a framework like the F#-to-JavaScript transpiler Fable, along with an application framework like Elmish, provides a really good solution to some of the pitfalls cited in the article (prescriptive architecture, front + back-end code sharing) and gives you some moderately strong type safety to boot.

However, the article author's list of SPA pitfalls is really good, and are probably not all surmountable by a framework/platform.
The problem that I personally see, at least with Netflix India, is that finding content is like finding needle in a haystack.

Some time back (last year or so), they were showing IMDB ratings for their content, but not now (maybe a falloff with Amazon since it owns IMDB). Now they try to find similar to what I've already watched, which IMHO does not make sense most of the time. I am here to find something new, not exactly same to what I've already seen. Moreover, I first look up the rating on IMDB of whatever I want to watch, and these days it mostly hovers around (5 or 6) out of 10 for almost all of their content.

PS: IMDB isn't silver bullet, but the user reviews are quiet spot on.
I would argue my assumptions (and I recognize that they're not always going to be true) are based specifically off of the nature of the tools in question. If you're a React shop, and you've recently and competently decided that it's the best tool for you, that's likely because you're building a large and modular app that includes data handling of the type that React is good at.

Unless jQuery has added a lot of features I'm not familiar with, it's not comparatively well-suited to larger and more modular projects like that. These days, it would mostly be used in projects that are small enough to not need the extra features from React, are bound to an architecture that makes implementing it hard, or has management/senior developers who prefer to stay with older tech.

It's not that one is bad and one is good. It's that they're specifically good at different things that tend to point to different styles of development and project scope.
Oh, I got that wrong while reading the article too then.
