The reason I used jQuery is to have script working on every browser in the wild. Now that jQuery dropped support for old browsers, this advantage is no more (sure, I could use old jQuery, actually I'm doing exactly it, but I don't like to use outdated versions). I think that it was one of strongest point of jQuery and the that they decided to get rid of it is questionable decision.
You should try Dialyxir 1.0.0-rc3! The error reporting is vastly improved by a GSoC student.

Now you can get errors like this:

I was one of the developers who made http://youmightnotneedjquery.com. To be fair, we made it in... 2014? There is a lot you can do now which you couldn't do then, just with a browser. A lot of the challenging examples, like animation, you're better off doing with straight CSS.

Ultimately, I haven't actually used jQuery for anything serious in half a decade, and somehow I manage.
I don't think that's correct. They must report yearly revenue per user quarterly.
There's a difference between decline and lack of growth. Facebook, at this point, has most of the internet connected population of the world signed up. That's a huge deal, and it means that even if Facebook MAU/DAU don't grow, they're in a good place to grow revenue, just by being the de facto gatekeeper for advertising going forward.

If the only alternative is between a rewrite, and not-fixing the mess gradually, then I'll take the rewrite anytime and let the cycle continue.

The problem is: is your rewrite really going to be a full-rewrite, or some kind of hybrid monster (at the architectural level, of course, there is no problem in reusing little independent pieces, if any exist)? Because you can easily fall in all the traps of both sides, if the technical side is not mastered well enough by the project management...

It was made quite clear in the agreement that they cannot use data for research if you opt-out, even inside their own company.

So you're saying any agreement someone has already made with 23andme in regards to their data usage has become null and void because of this investment? And would become if they were bought by another company?
No. Elixir has contributed a lot on its own, aside from what it inherits from Erlang. Mix, Hex, iex, Docs/doctests, ExUnit, etc.

> "maximize shareholder value"

> "utilizing its assets to their full revenue potential."

That's quite literally all that needs to be said here. How people fail to see the downside(s) to a large, multi-national, for-profit, shareholder-value-maximizing corporation, having access to (quite literally) their most sensitive information is simply beyond me. What do people expect GSK to say? "We plan to immediately redistribute this data to generate revenue - oh, and we do plan to do some research as well." GSK is not a charity. They do not run on merit, or "doing good things". They run on making - money. Any revenues from any type of wonder drugs developed via this 23&M partnership will be so far down the line (years, if they even come up with any winners). So in the mean time you can bet that they plan to get their ROI from this _investment_ via some type less than morally reputable activity.
It is correct, they generated $26 per user in the US and Canada in Q417. There's 185m daily active users in the US and Canada, driving $20+ billion in sales for 2018.

The US + Canada market generates 3x the revenue per user versus the EU, and 10x the per user revenue of Asia Pacific.

Here's the Q4 reporting:

A hacky implementation can be simultaneously good enough for some users and also completely unacceptable for a standard.

It's not worse than nothing, sure. If you use it exactly as expected, and only have one logical user of a file in each process, it does an acceptable job. But in the context of what it's supposed to do, be a generic locking mechanism, it's horrifically broken.

So I'll summarize this way: It's completely okay that they wrote this code, as a "version 0.2". But there's no excuse for presenting it as finished code, with reasonable semantics. It's not hyperbole to say that.
Human effort, passion, and drive are highly dependent on belief in a shared vision and end goal. You're likely to get much more effort out of a team if the end goal is to find a thermal material that can survive Mars re-entry vs. a thermal material that can make some industrial process 5% more efficient.

Effort isn't necessarily a zero-sum game, and necessity as the mother of invention has some truth to it.

Also, the typical startup journey of "Incubator -> VC funding -> Corporate acquisition" is mostly rent seeking. Corporations use rent seeking (lobbying) to extract huge amounts of money from the government then startups use rent seeking to extract money from corporations.

> Could we get the same kinds of spin-off technologies if we reallocated NASA's budget to prioritize technology development over, say, planetary exploration?

Not really. The private sector is really good at technology development, i.e. take an idea and figure out how to mass produce it at low cost.

What you want government funding for is fundamental research. Which space is good at because of the constraints.

Normally if you can't fit your payload on the truck, you send a second truck. That costs another $100, so it's not worth it to you to spend ten million dollars to figure out how to make it work with one truck, even if you figuring out will save a hundred million other people a hundred dollars each.

With space, you can't just send another ten billion dollar rocket, so you do the ten million in research and actually solve the problem, and we get the piece of new technology that everybody can also use for other things.

"Necessity is the mother of invention." It's hot, it's cold, it's far away, adding a kilo costs nine kilos of rocket fuel, oxygen is scarce, gravity is different, etc. You need the constraints to force an invention instead of just suffering the status quo and covering for the inefficiency with brute force.
Really? jQuery is not just about jQuery itself but its host of plugins make it very powerful. I still use some date picker even though input fields have supported date type but they look inconsistent across browsers and don't look as good as some of the jQuery plugins and it's just 1 example.
> A lot of their freedom to keep it simpler and cleaner than older RISC ISAs comes from the fact that they aren't responsible for engineering real implementations;

So David Patterns doesn't understand anything about implementations?

They designed and tapped out many chips including out-of-order cores before they froze the ISA and they are confident that it works for simple and high-performance implementations.

You seem to imply that 'delay slots and register windows and conditional execution' might not be needed for high performance but maybe that RISC-V does not have them harms them if they don't have 'high-speed implementations' but that is not correct. RISC-V is competitive or better compared MIPS, SPARC, ARM on the low end.

I used to be really bullish on Elixir, but having used it in production for over a year (and having worked on libraries since '13), I think people are overselling the daily experience.

The language itself is good, the tooling is pretty excellent, but there are issues for things like deployment, ops, and frankly a general excitement about neat things instead of focusing on bread-and-butter stuff like, say, timezones and timestamp formatting (something coming in a couple of releases, allegedly, but which was always an obvious absence).
Glad I work for Amazon...
I've used a similar tool[1] before to convert all styles of an element to inline styles in order to copy it into a more isolated setting for testing, and it worked pretty well for me. There were a lot of manual steps for me to do this though, so CSS Scan seems like a pretty nice "one click" alternative.

To reduce attack surface as well as maintenance burden for compatibility whenever something breaks during an upgrade.

A polyfill is something that's not needed at all in modern browsers and thus can be considered pretty much final. jQuery is actually surprisingly stable compared to Angular/React/npm/rest-of-the-hipster-crap, but it has had its fair share of incompatibilities too.
A lot of the stock price was based on expected extreme continued growth. They just explicitly said that the growth is slowing and will slow down more, so they're basically losing all of the priced in growth.

They already have moderators to filter out the so called garbage. Would it be hard to tell them, that between two boob pictures and a porn video upload they should pull the ban on fake anti-vac news as well?

I remember they banned a photographer (or journalist) at one time, because he shared an iconic image from the Vietnam war, because there was a nude child on the picture.

I wouldn't judge Facebook, if they would ban everything that is harmful to society, from images to fake news, as it is their platform and they can do whatever they want. They aren't under oath to defend and preserve freedom of speech.

That's why they should never use it as an excuse.

Every time they pull a stunt like this, I am more inclined to leave. I'm already unfollowed most of my friends and literally all I get is ads and product placements.

In my experience (compiling TS + babel down to ES5), the compiled output is generally fine. Unless you're trying to squeeze every last kb out of it, asset optimization and NPM dependency bloat are much bigger optimization opportunities anyway.
The value perceived by shareholders is only partially related to the current revenues. It is about perceived future value. And shareholders are right to be spooked I think.

Revenues have grown 47% for only 11% in MAU. I don't hold shares in Facebook, but combined with the feedback I hear from friends and family about Facebook becoming increasingly ad-obsessed and devoid of valuable content, that would make me very nervous too.
According to Adam D'Angelo (first CTO of Facebook, obviously a biased source) Facebook was able to implement features much faster than MySpace, which was a major competitive advantage for them. "I remember talking to an engineer who worked at MySpace who told me about how they had this huge list of regular expressions to try to prevent cross site scripting attacks, and whenever there was a new one they would make a new regex to try to fix it, rather than sanitizing html the right way."[0]

I ran across an intance of this from a few years ago ... 1892: the J.P. Morgan and the Bankers' Manifesto hoax.

This turned up as a meme, but it seemed a litle too good to be true.

Still, the story had legs, getting passed around progressive-party newspapers of the late 19th centuries (or at least the ones with snoozing or unscrupulous editors who didn't denounce the author), in books, and by Charles A. Lindbergh, Sr. (father of the aviator) on the House floor in Washington, D.C.

And in contemporary Internet memes 125 years later.

The denunciations are piquant. This from The advocate and Topeka tribune. (Topeka, Kan.), 14 Sept. 1892:

In an editorial note last week calling attention of editors of reform to the so-called Wall street circular fake first published in the Chicago Daily Press, we wrote that "the thing originated in the fertile brain of T. W. Gilruth, who held a position for a time on the editorial staff of the Press." The compositor transformed the name into Gilmore. We desire to make this correction lest there be somebody named Gilmore who might object to the charge, and because the fraud should be placed where it belongs. Gilruth is a snide, and if anyone who knows him has not yet found it out, he is liable to do so to his sorrow.

http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn85031982/1892-09-14...

That corrects an earlier account which misstated Gilruth's name:

The Great West and one or two other exchanges reproduce the Chicago Daily Press fake purporting to be a Wall street circular. The thing originated in the fertile brain of F. W. Gilmore [sic: should be T. W. Gilruth], who held a position for a time at the Press. He has been challenged time and again to produce the original if it is genuine, and has failed to do so. The thing is a fraud and so is its author, and neither of them is worthy of the confidence of the people.

Amen. San Francisco is ground zero for well-intentioned, but ultimately awful public policy. Often these policies further make whatever problem they're trying to solve worse, because it gives the illusion that they've actually done something about it.

I, as a 20 year SF resident, would much prefer Aaron Peskin do something about the feces and hypodermic needles before he worries about cafeterias.
Yes! I've been here since 2012 and it has gotten way worse. Especially when it comes to drug related articles. If you post a comment that is not 100 % positive to legalizing drugs expect to be heavily down voted.

But since people are dumb as shit and hoping that they will change is futile, why can't we have a setting that keeps down voted comments black? Since I'm reading HN on my phone, solving that problem with a user style doesn't work. If there was a karma opt-out setting entirely disabling the karma system for comments and all its effects I definitely would turn it on. I'd rather suffer some spammy comments now and then than partaking in Hacker News' dumb karma chasing game.
One of the toughest things I struggled with while transitioning from a
larval junior developer to a senior tech lead to a project manager was the
fact that (at least in the context of a for-profit business) not all bugs
need to be fixed, even the ones you personally think are really really
bad. The goal is to make money, not necessarily by producing the most
perfect software.

On the other hand, you have to remember the that impact = risk x loss. And developers and managers are notoriously bad at evaluating the risk posed by a bug. It does no good for software to make $10 millon dollars a year for 5 years and then make a $100 millon dollar loss in the sixth, because of a catastrophic bug that no one prioritized fixing because, "It's been 5 years and no one's run into this bug yet."

AucTeX can save snapshots of entire Web pages with images, PDFs, etc. in a personal library?
Liberal in exactly the sense that you describe, that is it describes and limits behavior of the current sink (ie. USB function) and does not constrain the current that downstream port (in traditional USB topolgy an A port, ie. host or hub's downstream port) can source apart from specifing minimum of one load unit and maximum as something IIRC safety related (and not exactly defined).

Originally (1.0, 1.1...) downstream USB ports were supposed to measure and limit downstream VBUS with the unit load precission, but this idea was shelved very early on and replaced with recommendation of placing fuses or polyswitches and sensing their state.
Priced for growth, growth slowed.
Revenue missed expectations (even though it grew in absolute terms), and user growth has slowed down again, and that is making investors nervous.
I can't tell if you're just using sarcasm here, but there's nothing "treasonous" about not trusting intelligence agencies that throughout history have not been very trustworthy.

You should also stop using "treason" incorrectly. Here [1] is a great debate between Glenn Greenwald and James Risen where Glenn breaks down how important it is to not use Treason in an incorrect manner, and explains (sourced) exactly what Treason is defined as under US law with examples throughout history.

Are you even trying?

A random search tells me that "The mean DD for the studied sample of projects is 7.47 post release defects per thousand lines of code (KLoC), the median is 4.3 with a standard deviation of 7.99." ( https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6462687/ )

So clearly if you are careful and use state of the art practices, this is very doable.

Not only this is doable, but various individuals and teams in history have been able to reach way lower defect densities. Hey, for all practical purposes, TeX is bug free, for example.

If you are not able to write 100 lines of useful code without a bug in it (not in an infallible way, but at least sufficiently often enough), maybe you should simply study and practice to get that ability.
The simplicity of the grammar is what counts here.
One can hope
You are looking at the average. What if the ones willing to pay $100/year are those worth more than $100/year.
The "threefold model" just begs an RPG about DMing a tabletop game, where DMs fall into a class system between Game, Drama or Simulation (replacing Warrior, Rogue, and Wizard).
> Well, then I probably don't care? I care whether it was a bad idea, not whether it was a bad idea coming from a bad philosophy or a bad idea standing on its own.

If your goal is to prevent such a "bad idea" in the future, then not caring could easily work against you.

You'd end up having to expend energy challenging each bad idea on its own, possibly failing even to make inroads because there's a bad philosophy that makes it seem like a good idea (maybe even obviously so, rendering your challenge easily dismissed and a wasted effort).

Instead, if you focus your energy on challenging the bad philosophy, you both get to the heart of the matter right away, and you cover all the new bad ideas it enables all at once (and even ahead of time). You also won't have to start from scratch, as the philosophy, unlike every new bad idea, isn't unique, and there's likely plenty of literature out there already that you can use as ammunition.
That's almost 30 cents per day per user!
