I worked in a large company where clojure was used. After the original developers moved on from that project (they always move on), it was a giant struggle to get people who could work in the code base. They ended up rewriting it in something more standard. Whatever benifit clojure provided was outweighed by the high cost of maintaining the code base and the inability to find devs who wanted to work on it.

That’s my only data point with clojure.

Yes, people are curious. Curiosity is a good thing and experimenting with pot is hardly dangerous. I smoked weed only two times in my life because I was very curious (living in the Bay Area, everyone was smoking it) but decided it's not my thing. I think it's natural.
Apple have created a mess by providing multiple options between Airs and Pros. If you upgrade the RAM to 16GB on Air it surpasses the base model of Pro and similarly other storage options. At that point you should rather buy a Pro over Air because the only major difference is size. Lot of this is totally confusing for non-technical folks and they might just end-up making a wrong purchase.

I'm sorry. Did you just say that Uber and AirBNB can unilaterally break the law, because they deem them "outdated"?

At the risk of opening a can of worms, I think the author is right and you are contributing to the systemic issue by trying to deflect their mention of privilege. If you are a white male, you have privilege. I don't think OP would ever say that's the only factor to their success, but recognizing privilege and where you have taken advantage of it in life is healthy progress towards equality.

> There already are many places where the selling of sugar and caffeine-ridden products is controlled.

I think you are moving the goal posts here.

For one, I fully support regulation. By regulation, I mean education and truth in advertising. People should absolutely have their assets stripped and sent to prison for life for false advertising and bribing/intimidating researchers to produce bad science or knowingly lying about their products in general.

Additionally, I am not talking about putting people in prison for selling mislabeled candy. I absolutely support legislation that sends people to prison for life for selling candy that is not labeled properly or has a labeling inconsistent with its contents.

I am talking about imprisoning ME for possessing sugar and caffeine-ridden products that I intend to eat or serve to my guests at home. Are you willing to arrest me for eating candy? Are you willing to search me "randomly" on the streets because you think I have candy in my pockets?

I just inherited a Clojure project, one which I'm quite well acquainted with the business logic, and I find it extremely hard to read. It's very different from the many other languages that I'm comfortable with already. I'm sure with sufficient learning I can get comfortable parsing what's going on, but it is a problem.
So your argument is, the government should be asking for "convertible bonds"?

right?
That is how loans work. But in a free-market economy, loans also come from professional lenders, who price loans according to risk. Government loans made to further industrial policy are necessarily subsidies, which is not how loans work.

From the view of the economy as a whole, it can work out fine, in that we tax the profits of the successful companies. (Although a great deal less than we used to.) But it does rather put a hole in the myth of self-made men and the companies they built from nothing.

I'll also note that Silicon Valley has a university at the heart of it. We fund a great deal of research, and we should. We also subsidize education in a variety of ways. But the first version of Google was developed by grad students as part of their student work, and Google today hoovers up quite a number of recent graduates from schools are either publicly run or receive a great deal of government assistance. It's a highly interdependent system. I think that's great, but don't think our myths acknowledge that.
Oh, I didn't know that existed. I'm not sure if I'd trust it, but glad to know it exists. It's not really a big issue for me, though, as I have a home NAS. Really more important to me than Windows support is support on BSD (esp. FreeBSD) as I use that on my NAS.

Re. your edit, which erased "instead of using ClojureScript with Om, people mostly jumped to JavaScript + React, which the Om team later praised as being the same concept they had in mind, but with a simpler and better API": I’m pretty sure that the coment you mention referred to reagent (which builds on top of React as much as om).

In this specific case, maybe, but in general that doesn't seem to be true. In the case of Brendan Eich, Elia Schito, and other random developers, it's "you have freedom of speech, but I don't like what you are saying (or doing) so I'm going to gather a mob and destroy some aspect of your life to teach you a lesson"
It has been terrible in the initial few months. It was definitely out of my comfort zone and every week had been a roller coaster. But now, I kind of settled in and started to enjoy it. There are certain nuances this role needs us to learn which no one can teach and needs to be experienced first hand. I'm becoming better at small talk and ability to sell ideas which I lacked in previous roles.

It may not provide faster growth designation wise but I'm hoping money wise its a good choice as what I'm now paid is the entry level salary in management in most of the companies I worked for previously.

This isn't true at all. Sure for many "traditional" AV solutions it might be. But there is a pretty strong growing trend to use "next-gen" endpoint/AV protection that is extremely lightweight, so much so that users won't see any impact at all.

> Nobody seems to be saying they want unregulated marijuana usage, so it seems comparable

Comparing outlawed, regulated, or unregulated without nuance is unfair. Things can be effectively outlawed, overly regulated, unenforced thereby unregulated, etc. Instead of focusing on the words, we should focus on the effect. To restate my previous claims in terms that hopefully won't be misinterpreted, "Increased regulation/restrictions on smoking has decreased usage significantly."

I'd say the reason it is not comparable is it is adding restrictions instead of removing them. To go from 0 to a set of regulations is one thing, but since that is not the case, the direction matters as much as the result.

I really hate the bindings on most textbooks and technical books that I possess. You pretty much have to break the spines to get them to actually lay flat, and not have the pages turn on you, but if you do that and actually handle the book at all, sheafs of pages start falling out. Spiral binding would be so much better.

If it was just a little bit cheaper to get on-demand printing done, I'd love to get some of my books converted into something like a rugged three-ring binder.

Having spent the last two years working professionally in Haskell after having spent the previous two years working professionally in Clojure, I'd disagree with this. Haskell is roughly infinitely better than Clojure for meaningful refactoring. Clojure gives you (great) tools for using your own brain to make sure the refactor goes well. Haskell replaces your brain almost entirely in the process and just gives you a precise list of the things have to fix. The difference in experience is night and day. When you're done with a Haskell refactoring (even a major one) and it compiles again you will be completely done 99% of the time. With Clojure there's not even a "compiles again" moment to look for, and even when you think you're done you're refactoring there's a good chance that there's something that will pop up at runtime (and some point arbitrarily far in the future) and tell you otherwise.
>This to me is a reminder why it is so important that the people control the means of production.

Absolutely. The reasons for social control/ownership of the means of production are more than economic, it is a question of democracy. Voting isn't good enough, it helps people control the part of the power that is in the hands of the government, but not the rest. The more power is in the hands of corporations, the less power is in the hands of people. Eventually, even in "western democracies" (let alone authoritarian nations), much of the power answers to an elite few and not to the people. One even reconsiders whether to truly call them "democracies" when this is the case.

Social ownership / common control of the means of production lets the people democratically decide how to best use those resources and those means to the best ends, rather than to the benefit of a select elite, whose interests may or may not, by pure coincidence, align with those of the general public. The latter system is broken by design.
Pot is a safe drug, safer than alcohol, as insurmountable evidence suggests. This still doesn't mean it's completely safe, as in you can smoke arbitrary amounts without any negative effects. A rational person should read all this evidence and find a good balance between recreation and health. I don't smoke pot because I don't like it that much and the "slowness" it gives me the day after isn't worth the pleasure. I do drink a few times a month because alcohol, even though more dangerous than pot, does give me more pleasure and the day after is usually not bad enough that I wish I didn't drink the day before. It's a personal balance.

You wouldn't start coding python for the first time without some research. You wouldn't for Java, ruby, C, bash, or any other language you can name.

JS is the one language that very few people bother to learn. They just start writing and see what works. For these people, a const that isn't const isn't a very good idea. Even among the good JS devs I know, most haven't learned this until it actually bit them in production because most books about JS don't mention the problem.

The TDZ (temporal dead zone) is a direct result of adding `const` to the language and it complicates everything (plus has performance implications). A feature that doesn't do what it seems to do while complicating everything else about the language is a textbook example of bad design. There are several people who agree in hindsight (I believe Brendan Eich is among them).
So Borges' Library of Babel -- every possible 3200 character book from a 25-character alphabet; essentially the 'space' equivalent of the infinite monkey theorem's 'time' domain -- is sufficiently large that if we took this universe and shrunk it down to the Planck length (the smallest length there is) and filled another universe with these femtouniverses, and then scaled that one down likewise, and repeated this process EIGHTY times, we'd be able to fit all the books in.

And Hamlet would be split amongst dozens of these books.

25^3200 is a large number.

So I did a search in the article for the word "inflation" and found no hits, but I think it's something that the tech world is going to have to start getting used to after decades in the steep part of a S-curve that let it defy the normal. In most of the developed world at least inflation is generally quite low, but it's not zero (nor is zero or worse deflation a healthy sign). For electronics there has been a long time where constant improvements in process technology, efficiency, mass manufacturing tech, and just plain ever larger scales as it went global, meant that every year or two allowed more to be done cheaper.

But at this point that's heavily played out. Progress is certainly not "done" by any means, and the slowdown is uneven (GPUs still scale more easily for example), but it's not exponential or essentially "free" anymore either. Bumping into harder physics means process shrinks keep getting harder and vastly more expensive for less gains, the low hanging frequency improvements and IPC has been picked, a lot of the trivial vectorization and parallelism done, hyper cheap mass labor utilized, the easy parts of the global market gobbled up, etc. There are also softer issues like inequality to deal with and in turn a wider spread in prices people might pay.

So tech companies are going to face a more "normal" world, where no a device from a year ago or two years ago or even 5 or more years ago isn't necessarily "obsolete". That means they'll need to figure out how to start raising prices over time just to keep pace with inflation let alone secure more growth when expanding marketshare or cutting costs is ever harder. But the public has been conditioned for a very long time to expect prices to always stay the "same" (which really means it's falling in real terms over time) or outright drops on the sticker price. Figuring out how to navigate that to a new normal without promoting undue backlash is something everyone will need to grapple with. One approach that Apple may be going for is to just take some pages from mature areas like cars, where there is a huge premium for "brand new", and large percentages of the population are fine getting used or "last year's that didn't sell" (let alone an "old model but newly manufactured" which isn't really a thing with cars) and will never buy brand new their entire lives. But "old" models still get support for a long time and to the basic job fine.

Other strategies of course include trying to shift more into ongoing services revenue, platform monetization (be it a cut of software sales or ads), premium support offerings, etc. Different players will try different mixes. But nobody will be able to avoid it anymore then other industries, at least not unless some other huge productivity shift (automation related perhaps) happens.
I agree but if you look at the parent response claimed 40+ tracking scripts, I just don’t see 40 tracking scripts I see a website using probably too many scripts to implement functionality but I can’t claim to know they can do it with less scripts - I can only assume and that is what the website posted in the original document talks about how to optimize... hence async and trackers not blocking comment was correct

The problem with all those themes are they're all basically identical to each other, just variations on a theme and there's nothing there that's actually functionally useful, as in could be used (by me) in an actual real-world project.
In addition to what you've said about the frustration, there's the following.

Basic research is vitally important, and has contributed so much to society. Yet by its very nature you can't predict if how any specific piece of basic research will provide benefit.

It's a fundamental misunderstanding of basic research and scientific and technological development to expect to be able to know, and thus say, what the benefits might be.

Rather than expecting to be able to predict the benefits, we have to have a more 'statistical' set of expectations. That, on aggregate, and over time, basic research will provide substantial benefits.

And it's not just the general public who don't appreciate this. I find that many people working in applied research don't appreciate it either.
What's interesting to me is that the current Dell XPS 13 (9370) is physically just a little bit bigger than an 11" MacBook Air and quad-core i7.

Its CPU and GPU aren't as fast as the new 13" MBP but as a rival to the MacBook Air it's very competitive.

I have a Developer Edition for evaluation and keep it in an old MacBook Air 11" case.

The funny thing in the US at least is that we have plenty of land that comparatively nobody wants since the jobs aren't there. Lack of development and transit structure appears to be more of a limitation than just space want - people are living with stranger roommates in single family homes for instance - they're not seeking nor getting private spaces. Telework could help with that but it had oddly failed to materialize for what can most optimistically be attributed to ergonomic reasons in the productivity gearing sense. Real estate is frustratingly sticky however in that people and institutions often refuse to sell low even in the face of depressed markets and low occupancy. Perfectly rational for them to do so when possible - using their positions for land speculation was one of the low key examples of founding father corruption.
That makes it sound as if we should let people that only have a few days to live take all the heroin they want, actually. Maybe we should.
