So. What is your suggested alternative stack for rapid MVP prototyping?

Personally I'm fascinated with Clojure but it doesn't yet have the ecosystem (for me as a Clojure noob) to easily punch out product prototypes. Likewise I've messed with JS frameworks and they're fun but they don't offer me proven established patterns; too many competing and fast-moving choices. I'd rather find my market fit first then worry about scaling / paying off tech debt.

Again, what's your suggested model? To me Rails offers a semi-boring yet productive middleground between high and low ceremony. TAANSTAFL.
Let's decompose what is going on when you click on one of these pages :
For instance : https://s3.amazonaws.com/walgreens-photo-coupon/walgreens/in...
It's a page with fake coupons links

When you click the "show coupon" boutton, two things happen

1. A javascript "click" event is triggered (in coupon.js) and executes :
window.open(https://www.promocodefor.org/promo/walgreens/walgreens-photo...)
This opens a new tab at this url, this page shows the fake coupon code.

2.Since the button is a <a> tag with href="https://www.promocodefor.org/go/pcfc833699cf9ddea03", the current tag navigates to this url

Then you follow 7 redirect redirects (code 302) to pages owned by https://skimlinks.com who redirects to pages owned by https://www.conversantmedia.com who finally redirect to https://photo.walgreens.com/store/prints?tab=photo_Promo1

It's basically an affliate link to walgreens.

The question is how did https://s3.amazonaws.com/walgreens-photo-coupon/walgreens/in... rank so high in google ? Just because it's hosted on amazon doesn't make sense. There is a trick that we don't know.

I think it's hosted on Amazon S3 juste because it's very cheap hosting, since the site is a single .html file
I'm not sure where that $1.5B figure came from but the caveat I've always heard that came along with it is that drug companies pay less than 10% of the actual research costs. The rest is made up from government grants and university research. They mention the total costs to make themselves sound like victims.
Cool data presented well, even on mobile!

Is it wrong for me to say that outside of major cities (mostly just Antwerp), the air isn't any worse than 99% of developed countries?
Sure, but considering demand for such an app among the drivers, I would imagine the dozen of apps are competing on Brazil market.

> “in fact the tests people write with TDD are much more tightly focused.”

This usually doesn’t help and sometimes hurts, because if the tests are tighlty scoped yet the requirements are ambiguous, it usually means the tests are very related to the current implementation details, which are going to rapidly change due to scope pivots.

TDD simply doesn’t work when you don’t know what tests to write or how to structure tests to accomodate scope and priority changes, which is all the time. Starting out by writing a test then coding to pass that test is baking in an assumption about that test which is almost surely already wrong, and just creates rework to undo a tightly focused test.
There are two versions of Haiku, the hybrid 32-bit version uses the older GCC for compatibility with software written for BeOS, plus GCC 7.3.0 for modern app support. The other is a 64-bit release with only the modern GCC and no backwards compatibility with BeOS apps.

The Chinese "Communist" Party has learned an important lesson since the Cultural Revolution: idealistic young people create a bloody mess. China has a very long history of violent revolutions leading to extreme death tolls. It's why, I think, the CCP reacted so strongly at Tienanmen Square. Their thinking was, "Oh no, not another one of these!" And I'm not surprised that they still think that way.

> the user identity service is not decentralized.

Yes, it is, it's the DNS. The user identity of your git repository is your host name, which is connected between participants via the DNS.

As for issues and wikis, well, they are not part of git, obviously, but the same applies in principle. Also, in the case of issues and the like, if you use mailing lists, your user identity service is decentralized by virtue of using email addresses.

Whether those are the perfect solution may be questionable, but they most definitely are not centralized, and might very well be the basis for improving the usability.

> I think github could try transform into a namespace and identity service.

So they stay the monopolistic gatekeeper? What would be the point of that? If anything, namespace and identity must not be controlled by one monopolistic entity.

Haiku would definitely bring it to life. I had a similar Atom based netbook and it was a perfect Haiku machine. I also have a PIII based laptop from 2000 with 512MB RAM that runs Haiku (and BeOS 5.0 Pro) extremely well.

It just reminds me of history. Uber / AirBnb / etc. replacing X industry is essentially the same situation as:

Medieval Town invites in Duke. Duke promises to fight against the injustices of the King. Eventually the Duke becomes the King. Repeat ad infinitum.

At some point, the usurper will become the establishment.
I would agree with that notion. I drive a Niu; it's very much fun to drive and I enjoy it, but I have a rather utalitarian view of it. Meanwhile, my girlfriend tried and liked it, but ultimately settled on a Vespa and loves it dearly.

It's probably a matter of time. I would be surprised if this were not to change as soon as a generation or two grew up having on of these in their teens.
My Thinkpad 240 is ready, now waiting for an USB to IDE adapter to install Haiku on its disk.
Communism is red fascism. It was invented and financed by the very same people who have invented fascism/nazism. Lenin was payed by German Kaiser to defeat socialism in Russia, money that came from the same industrial-power that pay for the same reason nazism after in Germany, Stalin was payed by UK crown, the very same body that pay mussolini in Italy to stop socialism. etc.

In substance despite formal origin and flag color communism, nazism, fascism etc are the very same dictatorship born to stop socialism.
> malware...

There's an easy way to fix that. Setup an ethical Ad company that serves ads without malware and responsible advertising.

But how to do that on a scalable and profitable manner is something else.
You get a bad rating and get fired as a driver, presumably. My guess is that the pay is now so bad that Uber can’t find enough drivers so bad drivers go unpunished.
Just give the driver a low rating.. then they'll be off Uber in no time.

This seems like exactly the kind of behavior that's should trigger a 2-star review.
Does that matter? They’re still scamming and that’s bad.
Not surprising since the competition offers much more complete courses at a better price.
Switzerland has a program where clean heroin is given to addicts. Since the program started in 1994, none of the participants died from an overdose or other problems caused by impure drugs.

Also, as long as you have a clean substance, it is actually easier and healthier to taper of heroin by lowering the dose than by substituting it with something like methadone. The last withdrawal when going from a low dose to taking nothing anymore is way heavier when coming of methadone than it is for heroin.
With Uber at least you can give the driver a low rating, which will eventually kick them off the platform.
The evolution was simple: in the FOSS world we invent the concept of repos, this concept after decades of good work was grabbed by the proprietary world that understand the unsustainability of their traditional model and imported with a limited and locked-in version named "app stores".

Now proprietary firms understand that they can't continue evolve commercial software, it's a dead end, so they found a way to lock-in FOSS leaving it inside proprietary environment.
Definitely not. I live in São Paulo, where the situation is much better than Rio, for example, but still.

With Uber you have a much lower probability of being scammed and a much higher probability of getting your money back after it (with taxis the probability of getting your money back is basically zero).

And by the way the probability of being scammed at all increases not only by being a foreigner, it increases only by being from another place and not knowing the city. There are dozens of cases of friends of mine born in São Paulo who got scammed by taxi drivers in RJ. With Uber/Cabify/99 this became much less common.

The planets do not rotate around the sun. The planets revolve around the sun.
> There are several IPs that are completely banned on my firewall because they send shitloads of spam over dozens of domains.

I understand that that is the case. I said that it shouldn't be the case and why. So, what's your point?

> And some IPs are just inherently not trustworthy (Tor exit nodes, North Korean IPs, etc.)

Noone is saying you should be trusting those IPs. I said domain trust should override IP distrust. So, again, what is your point?

> Everyone can setup a SPF and DKIM record on their domain. It's not hard.

Which is obviously the premise of using them to override IP distrust? So ... what is your point?

> IPs have reputation and you better deal with it because most sysadmins on your receiving end won't deal with any special snowflake configuration.

I think I wouldn't write "It totally should be" if that were the current reality, would I? So ... what is your point in explaining what I am obviously aware of?

Also, you might be surprised, but "special snowflake configuration" is how every change starts. So, if your argument were to be taken seriously, we should never have introduced SPF, because the first person to use SPF had a very special snowflake configuration indeed.

I would say roughly 50 percent of things I have bought are counterfeit (books, all electronics, CLOTHING, you name it!) It is, frankly, going to end Amazon as a company eventually but they do not seem to give a shit.
This problem has been going around for a few years now, good to see it pop up in more mainstream media.
I never advocated rewriting anything. If you have a RoR/Django/PHP/Java app and it works well: keep on truckin'!

But I've also found that writing new applications in Go has some good benefits over e.g. RoR. Things like processing forms and whatnot is all in the standard Go library. No need to reinvent anything.

I understand some people feel frustrated with "new tech of the yeah, yawn" (JS frameworks being the canonical example), but I don't think that standing still is a good option either. There is probably some reasonable middle ground.
Yamaha, Honda + some other Japanese brand dominate this market in volume. They’re the ones that will switch over to electric without issue. The Japanese are definitely waiting longer than normal. But they’re the ones that will have the largest car and motorbike producers to make the switch when they want.

I’ve riden a Niu. Was nothing new or exciting. GPS, lcd and apps are the last thing people want out of a scooter. Go and back. Go and back. Go and back. That’s all a scooter is and will be used for. Because scooters a cheap item.

I haven't previously come across the idea of trying to make wordless proofs. I guess this is the mathematical equivalent of code golf: a clever game for insiders to play, but basically the opposite of good practice from a readability perspective.
Counterpoint: I live in Rio de Janeiro and this has never happened to me. In fact I've requested fare reviews several times(bad routing) and the customer service has been nothing but stellar.
Or is it not possible for you to say the trip is ended when you get off (and see if the driver disputes it)?
These guys found a security hole in the system. They can combine communist ideology with any other issue. The ideology gives them shielding, so that they can push through the piggybacked issues more easily.

It's an example of overspecialization and finding weird local minimum trough loophole in the way the problem is encoded.

Genetic algorithms have the ability to capture the imagination of public and computer science students because they can find very messy and random solutions if you run them long enough.

In the general context of search and optimization algorithms they are not impressive. When you can't use anting better, like Mote Carlo or simulated annealing, evolutionary algorithms are often the last hope before brute forcing it. GA can be very impressive when you can restrict the search space and find good representation for the problem.
I don't think they're okay with it; they just can't pinpoint the problem, and resign themselves to the "fact" that using a computer is an inherently slow and unreliable experience, since it's been that way for as long as they can remember.

Older and non-technical people are just as vexed by bloated pages as anybody else, but without the language to describe the problem, they seem more likely to blame the reliability of their connection or even the age of their hardware rather than the poor design choices that web authors make. I've saved multiple people from replacing their "old" phones by showing them how to toggle javascript.
Ethical ads do exist. Look at Carbon or the (self-hosted) ads on Read The Docs.

The issue is those ethical ad networks don’t pay as much as the others because they actually screen their ads and a lot of the garbage ads (that keep the entire advertising industry afloat) wouldn’t make it past review.

As a result, rags like the Daily Mail and a lot of other major news sites simply wouldn’t be able to stay afloat (which frankly would not be a big loss - if your business can’t make money legitimately - without bad ads that is - then maybe it’s time to close down or rethink your business model?).
Visiting San Francisco’s Musée Mécanique
Yes, things can be better without being perfect.

Don't let perfection get in the way of improvement.

Plus, with uber you can easily give a low rating, then drivers will disappear from the platform within long. This is why behavior like this isn't widespread, and why it's better than taxis..
>Noone is saying you should be trusting those IPs. I said domain trust should override IP distrust.

I don't trust certain IPs. Why should the presence of a SPF or DKIM override my trust of these IPs? If that is the case, why should it be for any other IP?

>Which is obviously the premise of using them to override IP distrust?

Which is my premise for why having them override IP trust is completely useless. There is nothing involved in the process of setting up SPF or DKIM that would make me trust a domain if the IP is not trusted.
It's not like Musk's archetypal narcissistic behavior is unobservable beyond the scope of this Buzzfeed report. As someone who reads the tech news, I can't remember the last time I got through a 24 hour news cycle without having to hear about Elon Musk, and the conventionally hagiographic coverage he receives. So I've gotten to know him way better than I than I ever wanted to. As someone who knows someone in his personal life who is at the far end of the NPD spectrum, it's pretty easy to spot the traits in Musk.

"Did the driver really think that I wouldn’t request Uber to fix the fare, however cumbersome the process might be?"

I assume a lot of (business) travelers use the company's Uber account and don't care much about an extra USD10.

Still, these apps' review system, GPS recording, and payback process make them much, much, much better than the regular taxi in Brazil. Specially in Rio.
Reduces the chance of them using black market stuff though. I'm not sure the actual cost of the legal diamorphine is much in the scheme of things.

Update: "The cost of a year's diamorphine treatment for an addict is about £15,000, although this includes administering and supervising the injections."

Compare: "CEA estimates that
in 2015, the economic cost of the [US] opioid crisis was $504.0 billion, or 2.8 percent of GDP that
year." And 33,000 deaths.

It can be worth intervening to stop these things going exponential.

I'd known about this case but never listened to the Taurus intro. It appears to be the same descending progression. I can see how this may seem like stolen or copied, but that progression isn't exactly unique. I guarantee that people fiddling around with their instrument are bound to come up with the same progression. Coincidentally, about half the open E progressions in 70s hard rock music are about the same, with small variations. If you listen to one Purple record, and maybe a Rainbow record, you'll hear those same guitar riffs in most records put out in that decade.

I wasn’t aware of the tilde attribute selector. Still a lot more characters, though.

The classList api is still a lot more suited for this than dataset. None of the modifications done through the dataset api would reflect in the DOM and be readable by CSS unless you were to convert the list to a space separated string and explicitly set the attribute. classList handles all of this for you.
