You sound 'young.' When you start looking 50 years of age in the eyes, your attitude will assuredly change. Like with everything in life, there's a balance. You actually need to work-out more as you age than when you were young.
I used haxe a lot in the past, but with the newer enhancements to JavaScript I found that I ended up using JavaScript. Destructuring assignment arrow functions and more concise object literals, ... operator enable much more concise and readable code.

Haxe seems to be much more conservative in development. Haze is aquiring arrow functions but I think there was quite a degree of initial resistance to the notion. I proposed a change to allow the new Javascript style consice object literals (simply allowing {fish,cheese} instead of {fish:fish,cheese:cheese} but was shut down with a 'we don't like it'

I would prefer to use a independent language over one developed by a megacorp, but I fear Haxe will fall behind TypeScript due to their resistance to change.

My own personal experience has motivate me to move to something else. The proposal I mentioned above left somewhat of a bad taste. The process went contrary to the processes listed. Notably The proposer is supposed to call a vote after discussion had concluded. Instead it was just shut down with a "we had a meeting and decided against it". I could give no counterargument because there was no argument to counter. I'm not against languages having a dictatorial model for development, but having a facade of an open process that carries no weight seems wrong.
It's an extra dependency that each user has to download, and that their browser has to parse. If you don't need it, and can avoid using it, why not?
The elderly may be a powerful voting block, but the percentage of people over 65 is still relatively low (~15% in the US). Even in countries with ageing populations, it's nowhere near the majority (Japan is 27%).

If taxes to pay for the elderly do become very onerous, 85-75% of the population is going to be against them politically. There are relatively fair measures to pay for their healthcare, like wealth taxes for people beyond retirement age and increasing estate taxes. Or a more politically feasible measure is to make social security means-tested.

By far the best solution would be to mandate people to pay into their own retirement funds - Singapore does this. But of course, that would have had to be put in place decades ago.
Random data point, but you certainly can't in the bay area (I just checked a few listings around my place in Piedmont). a $3M house is around 8k/month.
Build more housing only works if you actually build enough to satisfy the demand — so it would be cool if we knew a number of houses built vs people trying to buy houses type of thing. Maybe you are right just I don’t know the data on the subject for Vancouver. I heard similar arguments while living in Bay Area that “we’ve tried to build our way out of this problem and it hasn’t worked for 20 years” but actually they were building one house for every 10 people moving there so, in that case it was a case that they under built for a long time because after people would move to their little corner of SF they would say ok no more people.. it’s good as is..
ultimately if you look at places like Dayton (good frontline episode on this recently), you see what happens when you build a ton of housing during a boom then factories leave and the houses then sell for basically $0.. often people are buying houses there for $5k, and buying 5 at a time then remodeling them. So overbuilding is bad as well as underbuilding.. my take is that the most sustainable building approach is to build in places that people still want to live in even when the economy is down. Like surprise surprise living 40 miles outside of Las Vegas next to a strip mall likely will drop in value when you can afford to buy a place that is more desirable closer to services and jobs and friends.
Now of course the question is what exactly are traditional values and who would loose if we returned to them. And who would win.

Because for all the nostalgia, teenage girls who got pregnant and their children were heavily stigmatised and paid the price. People who married as teenagers divorced more often. When divorce was not available due to laws, the nad marriage remained bad including domestic violence and such.

It is not just that she won't get education even if she had brain for it. She will have hard time getting and keeping job. She will be completely dependent of help of other people and such situation royally sux. Which does not mean she won't be lonely, because when you depend on people they are less likely to treat you like an equality friend.

Lack of respect toward blue colar translates into much less respect for both pregnant teenager and homemaker. The reality is, the warm homemaker happily making cookies is largely rose colored fiction. It kind of ignores reality of it all, for both genders. Men prefered being with male friends over warm home anyway and women were butt of joke anyway.

Speaking about loneliness, being stay at home mom can be loneliest experience ever. Lonely guys who have jobs and online games are not nearly as lonely as homemaker situation.

Edited to add: you know the stereotype of women being on the phone so much and being extremely talkative? Both are because homemaker is completely alone whole day doing everything alone except when she is on the phone and thus talks more in social situation or when husband comes home.

I have learnt a new American word :-)

In British, I never knew what they were called ("those 'Push Bar To Open' things on fire doors"), apparently "panic bar". As Wikipedia[1] says, "In Europe, the use of panic bars is generally confined to code required applications. On the other hand, in US and Canadian commercial building design panic bars are frequently used even when not required by code."

The only place I see them is designated emergency exits, the type which are normally unopenable from outside and often alarmed. The main doors leading out of a large auditorium don't use them – these don't need to lock, so they use free-swinging doors. The emergency doors at the front/side would use them.

I dont really buy the argument that the elderly vote more solely because of the extra free time, or that the younger don't vote because of the lack of thereof. I suspect it's more to do with the different levels of understanding of the electorial process.

When you get into your 50's, unless you've won the genetic lottery, you need regular exercise or things will go badly wrong if you also have a tech industry workload. I nearly died ignoring that. Now I exercise every day, usually on my bike or a rowing ergometer. Less need for caffeine, better alertness. The time spent is returned in better productivity.
One advantage I feel like is underappreciated is that Starbucks are functionally standardized - If I fly into a new city I've never been to before, I can still be pretty certain that I'll find a Starbucks in the airport, with the same menu, a familiar design, and similar prices, while a local place is always a bit more of a gamble (not to mention harder to find).

The main factor that prevents someone like me (and probably much of the tech talent in America) from going to a tech hub like that in Ann Arbor is cultural homogeneity.

Could be both.

The house where I rent is owned by a woman in China who phoned up a local real estate management company, bought the first 20 houses on their list, and wired them the money.

It's probably more complicated than that, but that's the short form story the management company told me. The company also said it's very common.
The first law of programming language intersectionality is that the interesting things will always be happening in languages other than the one you actually use.
Some things are generic critiques of haxe: standard library has poor documentation and big feature gaps, often important third party tools are basically abandoned, no support, generated code is extremely hard to debug or understand (both C++ and Javascript outputs for us).

Conditional compilation is a horrible, horrible idea period, and is particularly easy to turn into an indecipherable brittle mess in haxe. This was made worse by the previous authors of the code we inherited, but is really a case where it’s the tool’s (haxe’s) fault for implementing the feature in a way that makes it an intrinsic foot gun.

Lastly, it was a big turn off to our candidates, and many people we interviewed expressed lack of interest in working with it.
I don't know, I think I have a pretty good natural instinct for science...

You're right, the dogmatic opposition to jQuery tends to be unconvincing.

The reason I don't use jQuery these days is because other libraries serve jQuery's functions a little better for me.

* If I want a more robust interface for my XHR requests, there are a ton of nice libraries out there. Superagent is a good example.

* If I need utility belt stuff, I can get more out of Lodash, Ramda, etc.

* If I want animations, there are much better ways to do that nowadays, even with just basic CSS3.

* If I need distinct DOM lookup and manipulation...well, this might not be needed at all if I'm doing an SPA (in React, etc.). That said, there are compelling alternatives that I like, such as bonzo.

And then there's just the fact that you can now do an awful lot with bare Javascript.

So my argument against jQuery is less "jQuery sucks" and more "I prefer using all these other tools that cover the same surface". jQuery is still a marvel for all the conveniences it provides, and I don't think anyone should stop using it just because the cool kid says so.
I can't overstate how detrimental this is to a city. What you end up with are entire neighbourhoods which are occupied at 50% or less, and yet with the value of the homes exceeding $2-$4 million. It causes stores in those local neighbourhoods to close because there aren't enough customers.

I've read that this is the case in London, as well. And probably lots of other cities with names that are well known in China and Russia.
As someone who has worked two jobs now writing, deploying, and operating Erlang clusters, I recommend switching to Rust. Erlang requires a lot of TLC to get right, it's super slow, and it's hard to burst. Like, super hard to burst. Erlang nodes are meant to cluster as a k graph and never go down. Modern ops, especially container ops, does availability through ephemerality of services. The BEAM just doesn't like to be treated like cattle. Also Erlang has notoriously bad error messages, very little abstraction, and converting between binary strings and lists is a pain. Gaining Erlang operational knowledge also takes a while. We eventually had to rewrite things like gen_server, ditch mnesia etc. as we scaled.

So why Rust? Like Erlang, it's damn good at concurrency and enables functional programming. It also enables event driven programming through tokio, which is a better fit for web servers than green threads (you're mostly waiting on the network). Unlike Erlang, it's super fast (even at math), has a great type system, amazing error messages, low memory usage, and the community is already quite a bit bigger.
I like typescript.

I also like purescript - which I like to think of as 'typescript, where the types have teeth' (I like that I can also pull in a js lib and use it)

That’s the exact opposite of a technical reason. Actually sound like following the hype.
I don't get "headless" CMSs. If you remove the front-end and write a custom one, you could as well use something different on the backend alltogether. The appeal for Drupal and WP is that it's possible for a layman to get a working generic web site running, isn't it? If you're developing a custom UI using JavaScript, then you're already knee-deep into webpack, asset pipelines, git, node, etc. and should be able to put together a lightweight backend using node and will prefer one where page templates are managed as files under version control, rather than via mysql.

All of the features they use are easily changed in software. And not "an expert can get to hidden settings to change those aspects", they're as fundamental to the process of printing a model as selecting single or double sided is when printing from a conventional paper printer. Depending on what I'm printing I'll choose anywhere from ~.04 to ~.24mm layer heights, increase or decrease the speed or temperature, choose from any of ~10 spools of filament I have in a drawer, vary the infill density or pattern, (or somewhat less commonly) change the top/bottom layer pattern.

It's not like a Star Trek replicator where you push the "gun" button, you have to find the model and tweak your settings, and there won't be any single set of settings consistently used on any printer unless the user is only printing a single model repeatedly.
jQuery itself is rarely a problem. It's a tool, just like any other library, and it's very effective at solving the problems it sets out to. But at the end of the day, it's still just a tool - and tools aren't solutions by themselves. Good application architecture usually points to the right tool for the job. I've developed on projects where jQuery, requireJS, AngularJS, Angular 2+, and React have each provided the best tool (and sometimes in conjunction with each other!) for what we needed.

Before investing time in learning how to program on ethereum, one should first assess the engineering feasibility of it's blockchain:

https://medium.com/@preethikasireddy/how-does-ethereum-work-...

Take a look at their github and how the overwhelming majority of users can't run a full node (If you can't run a full node, you rely on an intermediary, you are not decentralized).

I'm not sure if the "marketing team behind a decentralized project" is still doing it but they used to be continuing to market ethereum as an immutable blockchain which is patently false due to their roll back of the DAO.
This is very misguided. If you get old with no exercise and deteriorating health, it's gonna fall upon your family to take care and worry a lot about you. It's immediatist if not selfish (by not wanting to face the different kind of discomfort) to do as you say.

Being strong helps everyone around you passively and actively, with stronger effects as the decades pass by, and remember from other research that a strong body keeps a mind keen, with better blood flow for all functions. Sacrificing that is not being smart about helping people.

Last and less scientifically, if you want to heal your environment and community, first heal thyself. It's the only subject from whom you can guarantee cooperation.
I think a big part of the problem is that jQuery went from a nifty tool to do nifty things to a crutch that is abused by low-end devs.

The most recent project I took over had jQuery loading on every page. Even though jQuery was actually only used on maybe 10% of the pages. And the thing the previous developer was trying to accomplish with jQuery can be easily done in CSS.

Needless to say, that web site is now jQuery free.

The blackman looks like a racist? Well, I don't see it in that picture.
The world of ephemeral containers really has changed the dynamic. Erlang solves a lot of problems with good solutions, but writing good software is only part of the battle. Lifecycle management, monitoring, etc make up a huge operational burden and should always be thought of as first-class problems in language design. Rust makes that better in many ways but not uniquely better than alternative languages.
Your first priority should be taking care of yourself. Remember the plane safety demonstration? You always put your own mask on first, even if it seems selfish.

You're in the best position to help others and make good decisions when you feel stability in your own life. Making sure you'll be around a long time also makes you last longer as a resource to society, and to your family.

That's my understanding as well. Afaik this is one of the reasons service packs existed, they essentially wrapped a huge number of updates up in one big, complicated blob labelled "this replaces update 329904, 1374663, 3072984, 3979717, ... 7308332, 8042597, 8091796, 9793445 and is applicable to basically all machines", coalescing a big chunk of their dependency tree.

Their 'conditions for removal' are half made up of reasons they want to remove jQuery. Makes no sense.
Unhealthy people in general will do poorly at those tests. Even if you don’t exercise, but are active, you will do better than a sick person.

I find these Starbucks complaints interesting. They always have the character of a warning about a hidden conspiracy. Kind of a "wake up, sheeple!" vibe.

Like, once a Starbucks drinker goes out and buys a heatgun to roast their own beans they will discover the truth that has been hidden from them all along.

I always just assume that someone who drinks Starbucks regularly would be the most aquainted with how it tastes and might not need someone to tell them.

I don't think we're disagreeing.

That part is to be expected, the important thing is that you don't then recorrelate, either explicity or implicitly, race with the lower credit scores, that can essentially double count race (via income and then via the second check) and that's what you want to avoid.

It’s really silly how people are worried about this like it’s a looming legal crisis. Have you seen the types of videos that are used in courts?

As someone who has used jQuery on one project for about 10 years I disagree. Some big problems:

1. Upgrading jQuery has been hell over the years. Literally every time something wierd breaks. Major version like the 2.0 transition meant major rewrites.

2. Most of the plugins seem to of varying quality between dire and just about usable but even the best we used died and got abandoned. I've had to fork, maintain and fix a load and then most of the contributors of those plugins don't know or care about updates or forks or pull requests or are total assholes so we're doomed to maintain them forever.

4. It is terribly slow in some circumstances. You don't know this until you find some client who is using a Citrix terminal deployment and is forced to use some tail end supported version of IE. And they are the loudest complainers.

5. It's pretty difficult to get rid of it. The tentacles are right in there. That monkey is on your back forever.

6. It's huge. Core isn't but by the time you've dragged in everything in via plugins to be productive you've got a meg of insecure god knows what crap running on your front end.

Regardless of the progress in browser tech, having your stuff run like ass, which it will in the future (I know after 10 years), because it's easy and convenient is just wrong.

> Race is by itself a root cause.

Racism exists. But there are many black and brown ethnic groups that do better than whites in the US[0]. In fact, the highest earning ethnic group in the US are brown! And immigrants from The Caribbean (who are predominantly indistinguishable from black Americans) tend to earn more income than American born whites. So while race may be an issue, the hypothesis that it is the predominant issue doesn’t seem to line up with the data.
