On all branches it seems to much to me, but maybe on master (or any release or pre-release branch) you may want them.

At my current company we're on such an old and badly written codebase that this kind of hook would just annoy 90% of people. In fact some years ago we tried to introduce that and people escalated quickly to a manager and had that removed.
oh geeze - of course :)

problem is -- I've literally had that conversation (when I was the young guy .. never walked away feeling good).
These kinds of GUIs bother me so much. While they're bedazzling to look at, say in a sci-fi movie, they are horrendously designed in terms of functionality, user experience and ability to convey clearly/concisely with the least amount of ambiguity.

It bothers me that people are drawn to it like flies and you see this type of thing everywhere in "Futuristic" projections of our life.

They're objectively worse, yet they look cool and the general public values "Coolness" over GUI's ability to meet its core purpose - that is to leverage human vision's bandwidth to convey information rapidly, concisely and without ambiguity. That is the whole point of a GUI.

What industries have you worked?
I'm surprised you think this. UCL is consistently top-notch in a number of fields.

Example: did you know their software powers >90% of fMRI studies in cognitive neuroscience? The Wellcome Trust is a major part of why this happens, and that's very much a part of British research.
You can literally just Google "gold and silver clause" to see that this is a Wesley Snipesian conspiracy theory. You might just as productively argue about gold-fringed admiralty flags here.
After using each in production for about two years I came to the opposite conclusion.

For me the React experience includes tons of bikeshedding over which accessories (routing, state management, etc) to pair it with and how to wire those up.

The Vue experience started simple and scaled up nicely as we reached the point that we needed more stuff, since there’s an official library for basically everything and it all works very nicely together.

It’s pretty subjective I guess but interesting how different development experiences can be.
Or southern Italy, Spain, Portugal or Greece where you will have also a vey nice weather ...
In the example I was describing above, the money goes to researchers (I was one of the recipients), but since there are no follow-ups, such as some support for researchers that finish the fellowship and are looking for jobs, the downstream effect of the Marie Curie actions is close to 0. You would think that a change of action would swiftly follow the analysis of data, especially after ~ 20 years of Marie Curie actions, but the EU Soviet-style bureaucracies are just interested in their survival and the appearance of effective action.
I didn’t say they took away guns, I said they took away gun rights. Restricting the kinds of guns you can buy, or ability to sell ir transfer existing proprty, is taking away part of your rights.
$900 million was the acquisition price of Viber when their development was located in Belarus.
Every time I see someone have to mention this, (because I always thought that distinction should be painfully obvious) I wonder a little more if it's a notion that's being slowly but deliberately assasinated; live and in living color before our very eyes.

Granted I'm looking at this from a perspective of plurality versus absolute speech but speech is certainly one of the (many) ingredients in this philosophical recipe.

>I urge you to read the ACLU link above and think critically if Trump sounds like someone who should be leading a free and healthy democracy.

It's a lot freer and healthier under Trump than Obama. Aside from the roaring economy, the IRS is no longer meddling in elections, actively favoring one party over the other.
It's not as slickly packaged, but I made a webserver that turns YouTube channels into proper RSS subscribe-able audio podcasts:

It would seem to be difficult in the extreme to wield antitrust law against Twitter, which is embattled, competes bitterly with Facebook, and holds no monopoly on anything.
Makes me wonder, why don't companies and government agencies spam journalists with false anonymous tips already, preventing any possible signal to get through the noise?

I'm a European AI researcher in the US. I've seen both sides of the pond.

The EU needs serious reforms if it wants to be competitive in AI.

Academia in Europe is far behind academia in the US on average. And will be far behind China in a decade or so. European academics generally don't adapt to new technology. They have no reason to with fairly few links to industry, a funding that's based on personal relationships and politics rather than research, and an academic environment that doesn't really emphasize novel research. The same people, do the same things, for decades on end, with little to no progress or change. European academics don't put in much effort to get industry funding since your students are funded by the university much of the time.

Faculty hiring is very local and incestuous. German universities hire Germans, and only from a few places. English universities hire the British. French universities hire the French. etc. There are exceptions but it's rare.

The European PhD needs to be fixed. 3-4 years isn't nearly enough. It's hurting everyone. The moment someone gets productive they graduate. It's a total waste of time. They need to move to an American-Canadian style 5-6 year PhD. The fact that students are generally not funded by projects and researchers, but departments, also puts a big damper on people's motivation to hustle and publish.

Funding for startups in Europe is a disaster. It's really hard compared to the US and Canada, raising multiple rounds is harder, there's little infrastructure for doing it, and universities are little to no help. Rich people just don't have an appetite for risk, better to sit on your old money. This should be fixed by tax laws.

Pay is terrible in academia in Europe. Around half of what it is in the US and Canada at many ranks. When you can't live well, why would you stay in academia?

The tenure system is a disaster in many places in Europe and drives anyone good away to the UK, Canada, or the US. You have a lot of unpleasant steps where you aren't autonomous.

European research is also very closed. Europeans cite europeans, who go to european conferences, and do research with europeans. There are a lot of communities like this that are very closed and 2nd tier compared to international ones.

I could go on. Nothing will change any time soon unless governments take action to revamp the university system, university funding, and the tax code to encourage investment/risk. The next century won't be Europe's sadly.
However much I love Stripe branding, I just want to remind everyone that it is _really easy_ to set up your own LLC/Corporation for $150-200 as well as a business bank account (for free), rather than using the "package deal" offered by Stripe Atlas.

If anyone's interested, I recommend Harvard Business Services (Delaware registered agent is $50, Delaware filing fee is $90, and HBS takes a cut of $50 if you use them for both parts). For a business bank, there are several (free) options and the one that Stripe Atlas has partnered with, Silicon Valley Bank, does not have close to the best reputation.

Edit: The AWS credits however substantially change this calculus.
It solves the problem that the majority of firefox users is not blocking trackers, so enabling this at the end of January 2019 in Firefox 65 will protect all Firefox users, which make up around 10-15% of all Desktop web traffic in western countries.

With this step it follow Safari, which is already protecting users against third party tracking.
Programming semicolon is not different from mocking interfaces with imperative code. One still has to write it and tests still do not test the real interfaces. Surely the situation is improved compared with imperative code, but it is not as good as with monad-free code.

It is pity that modern conveniences like polimorphic record types with nice syntax for record updates were not invented earlier. With those even with complex code monads can be used only at the top level when the sugar of do blocks is not even necessarily.
> $100/yr to file taxes

Do you actually feel confident that you're filing business taxes correctly by yourself? If so, how did you get to that point? The IRS and the tax code are not things to be trifled with, and I wouldn't want to take any shortcuts there.
How does Nim stack up against Go? I got the impression that Nim was very performant in the concurrency/parallelism space, but I'm wondering whether the switch is worth making.
Both ( political ) non-profits and journalists are targeted by nation states. Not just in developing nations, but also in the EU and USA.

Well, that can break functionality on some sites. Not all third-party cookies are tracking cookies. Being more specific about which cookies are blocked reduces breakage.
Assume you have a two-sided markets of interacting agents who each only interact once, like buyers and sellers.

Without any middleman, this doesn't work, because the parties are in a prisoner's dilemma, rather than an iterated prisoner's dilemma—nobody can effectively punish the other party in a future transaction, so there's no incentive to not screw the other party over.

Without smart contracts, what you need here is a "marketplace owner"—a legal agent where both sides have a legal agreement with them. This changes the situation so both sides are playing an iterated prisoner's dilemma with the marketplace owner, who can punish a user on either side for what they did to a user on the other side in a previous one-off transaction.

But this marketplace-owner role is also known as a "middle man." Their role in punishing defection is valuable enough that the market doesn't disappear if they extract rent from both sides—and so they usually do. Ideally, we would have an alternative where everything still works out, but where rent cannot be extracted.

With smart contracts, the marketplace-owner role is performed by, essentially, the buyers and sellers all automatically voting on whether a given transaction was legitimate. The smart contract is just the specification both sides have agreed to, in a given case, for judging the legitimacy of a transaction; and the blockchain is just a database which all parties doing this auditing synchronize amongst themselves, containing copies of both 1. those specifications, and 2. all the data required to validate any new transaction against them (which, in the case of a ledger-like transaction, is usually "all the valid transactions executed so far").

There still needs to be a human-level legal recourse for disputes—but those disputes would only ever be disputes about the specification of transactional legitimacy being wrongly specified, which are much rarer than disputes of the form of "he defected!"/"no I didn't!", to the point that the service of arbitrating such disputes would not be seen, at a human level, as valuable enough to justify rent-extraction.

> Currently, it looks like Google could simply say, we'll de-emphasize all Atheist or Mormon topics and it would be permissible.

Not really. They've de-emphasized topics that promote harassment and violence. "Atheists" or "Mormon" topics rarely, if ever, stoop that low, so I don't think you're comparing the same things here.
I really like Nim, but one thing that's stopped me from using it for any recent project is the lack of Protobuf and gRPC support, which we use extensively. There are some Protobuf libraries, but they're all incomplete and unmaintained. Being able to generate code from gRPC proto files (either compile-time or runtime generation) is a must.
Alright, this a rather touchy article. All who dare to comment: please put the lid on any simmering indignation and let's try our utmost to take in and let out actual information.

Here is a quick guide to avoiding them: "Unless you are using Haskell at a very high level of abstraction, Coq, Agda, Pie or Idris: congratulations you have avoided them."

It's not really clear why you'd want a book about the downsides of a quite recent development in practically usable programming models. Is it just because you are a hater?
Incorrect. See Marsh v Alabama
Kind of agree - however, if the interface elements never move around and stay the same, it's very similar a UX to the instrument panels of old.

I.e. not that bad, if precaution is taken against information overload in some kind if crisis.

It's easy to forget that people from all over the world comment here, and colloquialisms in the US might not translate to wherever it is you're from (I have no idea, FWIW). So, my guess is that you and I are just using two different meanings of the words "basic precautions".

Yeah and I heard a friend who said redemptions from his money market fund was suspended for a brief period during 2008.

Dunno how long the suspension lasted, or if he was merely confused, but it would suck to not be able to withdraw money when you need it most.
I tend to agree. We have to be careful that the Mars dreams don't become a distraction from the problems we have on Earth. I am very much for spaceflight but we should treat other planets with care and not export stupid things we do on Earth there.
Meh. It's more of a clarification of rights. When the second amendment was written, firearms were quite rudimentary by today's standards. I'm curious how the conversation will turn when we have 'laser guns', hand-held railguns and other weapons in the future that we cannot even comprehend today. Will folks complain about the government taking away their rights to owning an automatic railgun? Probably. Did the writers of the second amendment mean for it to apply to massively overpowered weapons? Probably not. If you believe it did, then why aren't you complaining about the government not letting you own ICBMs?
Right, I don't think they would, but there is nothing stopping them from doing that other than internal mechanisms [and the market] --it's not fear of running afoul of the law though. That's the point. Telcos on the other hand can't do that without running afoul of regulation.
When you say "the gas in this container is 100'C," that is a statement about the vibration and motion of the molecules which constitute that gas. To say something is hot or cold is to say that the average molecule in that substance has or lacks kinetic energy. Therefore, temperature is a description of the kinetic motion in a system, and so it emerges from position and velocity.

Disagree. The UI is nearly identical to our modern UIs, from an information and functionality point of view. The sole difference in this case appears to be style. Fonts and colors, mostly.

Your critique would be true when leveled at the font choice, though.
I think this evolution of CS didn’t exactly deliver what it needed. Machines went from huge systems designed to solve complex problems to shuffling information around and content delivery - or manipulative marketing.

I guess what I’m saying is: Maybe it’s time to revisit the blackboard. Rethink how a neural net or intelligent model should be implemented. Retry and rethink the “set in stone” basics. Also, throw out the entire discipline and try to come up with novel, new approaches.

There's a main effect such that the entire world has shifted in the direction of soft-power over the past 60-or-so years.

It's not clear that the East India Trading Company was less powerful than Google, but the issue of military power doesn't disprove the thesis.
Same for us, finance has slightly above average comp packages especially the bonus but in London it’s possible to get to 100K as an engineer outside of it it begins to drop drastically some tech hubs can have high salaries but Manchester for example tops out at around 80K and that’s also pretty hard to get.

Outside of the UK you might be lucky to get €50-60K even when working for US firms on average this includes Germany.

Some Nordic countries have higher salaries but the CoL is pretty steep.

Overall if you don’t include taxes it’s possible to get competitive salaries in the UK and some parts of Europe once you take into account income tax and VAT you’ll the race isn’t nearly as close anymore.

Also startups do not pay well at all and equity is nearly unheard off even for single digit non-founder employees.
That's just a typo. They most likely meant to write "play nicely together".

Realistically, what features can be provided by the language but not by libraries? If there are many cases, would that not indicate that the language's expressiveness is lacking?

IMO, the goal of languages isn't to provide many features, but to provide constraints, so that programmers can stick to a set of rules that their peers can understand and agree upon. The most powerful language is the machine code for whatever CPU you're using, because there are no constraints, you have all of the power of the processor.
Yes, Stripe Atlas connects you to an accountant who offers a tax preparation package at a very discounted rate. I didn't do anything by myself, I just paid $100 and they filed everything for me. It's perfect for when you're just starting out and don't have much revenue. (My first tax return was just for a few hundred dollars.)
Banning cars is a political disaster without serious alternatives.

You are completely uninformed on this. Read up on the form of USA currency called the "Continental".
I'd be fine with this for regulatory compliance.

But one nice thing about contracts (the objects of civil law) is that the state doesn't actually get involved in them except in the breach. You can create as many contracts as you like, as often as you like, with whomever you like, without any sort of filing cost or delay, and they will require no resources to maintain until someone on one side or the other thinks the contract has been violated.

I can't imagine the same being true if all contracts essentially worked like deeds, having to be notarized and filed at a government office (even if electronically) to have force, and needing to pay upkeep fees to keep them filed there lest their force lapse.

Also: a blockchain is nice because it allows people in different sovereign jurisdictions to create a contract. There's no legal contract I can make, as a US citizen, with e.g. a Cuban or Iranian citizen. But I can transact with them through a smart contract.
Hawking spent his entire professional life in the UK. Wiles bounced around between Princeton, Paris, and Oxford, but he was educated up through his PhD in the UK.

From my perspective as an American in number theory, it seems there is no shortage of strong people coming from UK, Australia, Germany, France, India, and China, but there are many who come to the US and stay here. Anecdotally, it seems rare for a very strong person in the US to move elsewhere, unless it is back to their home country.

You probably need to remember the proverb, "empty vessels make the most noise". Also the dunning Kruger effect. It is possible that you are way too confident/cocky because you don't know much.
