Most of the overloaded boats I saw were brand new rafts supplied by an NGO in order to create a humanitarian crisis across Europe. Crisis leads to political response. It's an age old tactic, just a different riff than the usual hordes of sword-wielding barbarians.
As a mostly remote worker, that's fair. Just yesterday, I happened to be in the office and bumped into someone and had a quick conversation about something that would otherwise have involved setting up meetings, etc.

Also, if you can abstract away at a sufficiently low level why not just do it in C where there's already a generation of experience and familiarity?
> These clothes were sending a message: "Make no mistake, we are not walking or riding bikes for transportation. This is exercise."

I often use a bicycle for transportation, and I've noticed that spandex cyclists won't give me the time of day. This happens even on otherwise deserted streets, where I and the other cyclist are the only two people for a mile. No bell or "on your left" from an overtaking cyclist, no wave of the hand from somebody going the other way, not even an ambiguous nod of the head. It's the strangest thing.

edit: I don't mean to imply that spandex cyclists would actually put bells on their bicycles.
Well in fairness some Agile is controversial.
It doesn’t guarantee it, it doubles the probability, and it is stackable. So there is a metric to measure (somehow).

Now, the author is probably just bullshittng things out of his fingers, an assumption I make based on the lack of any evidence being provided.

Nonetheless, since stackability and doubling at each turn mean you can trend toward 100% very quickly, then you can look at people you see as very successful, no matter what is your favorite measure of success, and observe for yourself.

Now I like “social impact” as a measure of success, but it’s a lot easier to go with “f’ing rich people” because data is being compiled every year by different business magazines. So when you take the list of Billionaires, you can realize that only one thing, sometimes two, where involved.

Now if someone would like to apply a statistical analysis to this, I think it would favor The null hypothesis, which is: there is no relation between the number of skills stacked and the amount of money in ones’ bank account

I can see a Dr. Seuss style of book being written about "smelt" since it's a noun (a fish) a verb (extract metal from ore) and when spoken it's not very distinguishable from "smelled" and both "smelts" have are relatively strong smelling.

>Within huge portions of nearby suburbs, you can buy a sizable 3+ bedroom house for <400k in a town with a train stop and a good school district that takes you directly to the office.

Not to be a ass, but where? And please don't just point out a home with no pictures you just found on Zillow, but a place where you've actually been to which has decent property taxes, decent schools, and is safe? And actually a 45 minute commute, not 45 minutes if you ignore the 20+ minutes it takes to drive your car from home to a train station and pay $50+/month to park for a reserved spot.

I ask this because I used to live in a NYC area highrise and always used to think over the about the seemingly fantastic deals in the suburbs. Then I started looking and realized real-estate websites and Google Maps commuting are a far cry from reality.
they also pay taxes and rent

my point was....how much will they "pull in" for the thirty+ years of their retirement?

public employees also don't have to worry about obsessively sharpening their skills every four years or foreign labor or being made irrelevant by cloud services, and they don't care about recessions for the most part

While I share your sentiment about frameworks, I work in enterprise app development and I can't remember the last time I encountered someone else who had a firm grasp of CSS or even the Frameworks.

Our organization adopted Bootstrap because it's a consistent and familiar framework and it takes less time for the inexperienced developers (most in my experience) to come up to speed on an app.

When you have 20 developers rotating responsibilities between 40+ apps with regular turn over and contractors cycling out, have consistent project setups and standard frameworks across the organization is essential.
In Argentina everyone has a national ID, that in particular is used to vote. Until ~1950 only the men had it, and they got it during the conscription.

In ~1950 the government gave all the women also an ID to vote, and the age was self reported because the official records were a mess (most of the records were only the baptism date keep by the church).

Many of the old women subtracted 5 or 10 years from their real age :).
I just had to deal with a large, handwritten Makefile when trying to package and cross compile something for buildroot.

Turns out it was easier to learn to use cmake and rewrite the relevant parts of the Makefile than fix everything in the Makefile that didn't work in a cross compilation scenario.
A manager who fired me from a previous job before he was at Google (well, he now disputes that I was fired, just that my role was eliminated) bragged to a now–fellow Googler that he had blocked me from getting a role at Google NYC twice now, not knowing the Googler's prior friendship with me.

> The Met are now selling themselves because people won't pay taxes to fund them

This is straying off topic, but I'd argue that it's more like "people don't feel they have any say in the process".

I'd gladly pay more taxes for essential services, but what we seem to fallen in to in the UK is, for lack of better terminology, a political masturbation session.

Brexit is like a big bang refactor. Pointless, won't change anything material in any predictable way (whichever direction it goes), and just blows everything that actually matters into the weeds.

Give me the button to press that if other people press the button will result in the police, teachers, firefighters etc being funded properly. I will press that button and tell everyone I know to press that button.

It doesn't exist; the only "options" come along with a whole host of completely irrelevant nonsense.
I only read the essay, not the book, but that doesn't seem quite what I got from him. He's not saying liberal democracies can't have times of turmoil, with such fascist nightmares, but that those are not an alternative ideology pushing for a different system. And I think that's true - people pushing for more surveillance or voting for Le Pen and Bolsonaro are not idealists trying to forge an alternative to capitalist western liberalism, they just want it tilted some way or another. Western democracies always had underclasses, and people are fighting to change which those are, not pushing to overturn the bedrock.

Regarding the Middle East and Isreal, he writes:

> In the contemporary world only Islam has offered a theocratic state as a political alternative to both liberalism and communism. But the doctrine has little appeal for non-Muslims, and it is hard to
believe that the movement will take on any universal significance.

and

> There would still be a high and perhaps rising level of ethnic and nationalist violence, since those are impulses incompletely played out, even in parts of the post-historical world. (...) This implies that terrorism and wars of national liberation will continue to be an important item on the international agenda. But large-scale conflict must involve large states still caught in the grip of history, and they are what appear to be passing from the scene.

And both of these seem true to me; there's no great spread of Islam ideology, nor of Zionism, they are isolated ideologies that can affect others, but not actually compete ideologically with Western liberalism.

history never "ends" and nothing is inevitable, including a return to feudal rule.

Maybe not - and in fact, like Fukuyama, I hope not; as he writes, "[t]he end of history will be a very sad
time" - but I'm also not convinced that we've actually seen evidence of that. As of now, it seems possible.
1. '@click' is replaced with a valid 'data-af-click' attribubte.

2. click was a poc - all events are added.

3. 'clean' is using "node.remove" ad removes any references to functions - so - no detached references are left then.

4. correct - not taken into consideration at the moment.

5. agree.

6. innerHTML is a valid assignment - the browser validates it.

7. to be discussed
The entire point of the presentation is to discuss these issues, and recommend rust for more ancillary tasks (modules/drivers, firmware, utilities) than the kernel itself.

> Kernel programmers would be using something else if that's what they wanted to use.

The vast majority of the languages having arisen in the last 40 or so years are completely unsuitable for kernel development, so not necessarily.

"zero cost abstractions" usually means you don't pay a performance penalty for abstractions you do not use.
No one is saying that roundabouts should replace ALL intersections, and the few they have in small residential places operate just fine with a single lane, but I'm skeptical of their value over a proper 4 way stop or a 4 way protect turn light.
Lots of people live in Jersey City and take the PATH, which is a faster, cheaper, and more reliable commute than NJT. They still avoid NYC city tax and get cheaper and nicer apartments though.
Agreed, That's certainly what I do and how I use it, also BS4 is very modular, you can tear out all the bits you don't use (or comment them out in case you ever do need them) and it's relatively trivial to alter other things (I use a 24-col grid with a 16px gutter width instead of the default 12/30 etc).

I could replicate the bits I use from bootstrap using something else or from scratch but the RoI in terms of time invested just makes no sense.

I don't think I've ever used bootstrap 'as is' since 2, I generally create something similar to a 'theme' that is layered on top of whatever is BS-current, makes upgrading a lot less painful that way since I isolate a lot of my changes.

The big advantage is done right you leverage all the thousands of bug reports to fix things without overly constraining yourself.
That sounds so awesome compared to the style of learning I experienced in college. I wish more colleges took a practical approach.
While make, for me, fell out of day-to-day use once C/C++ projects waned, it's still a great and powerful tool. I really appreciate its consistency to a Unix philosophy where it provides the essential feature of target building through dependencies but leaves so much of the heaving lifting through good ole /bin/sh.
Google and Amazon are not “real industry”. I don’t even consider them to be “tech”, though that is my opinion being a traditional EE hardware designer.
I don't know what the precise internal process is but have been told by multiple former coworkers, now at Google, that any time I've applied for a role and gotten they've been asked to comment on their experience with me at whatever previous roles we overlapped in.

I eventually asked Google recruiting to put me on a do not contact list after going through the process multiple times.
This rides entirely on your local vernacular having a verb "buffalo" which means "to bully". I'm not sure how widespread that is but I sure never heard it before reading an explanation of this sentence.
Since the wide adoption of distributed version control systems (e.g. git), how many shops are still working on code on a shared filesystem being edited by multiple developers?

I'd think the far more usual case is each dev has a copy of the code on his/her own machine, and another copy is on a build/test machine. There won't be any timestamp issues there.

Make is like a lot of tools, it's simple and works well, up to a point. If your project complexity exceeds its abilities, you likely can afford something more sophisticated, since you probably have dozens or hundreds of developers anyway.
Because people are attached to their family and friends and also most don't realize that any able body person with an IQ of 100 and a decent work ethic could easily make six digits if they relocated to the right area.

Have a question for phoenix veterans. The server performance in benchmarks like techempower have not been stellar, yet concurrency is one of its most touted features. If i wanted to build an app like hackernews and host it on digital ocean free drop, how many concurrent users can i hope to serve with request latency less than 100ms. A rough ballpark figure here will help me visualise phoenix's performance better.

So what I guess is that this is for building at scale?

In my experience this kind of incremental build is a matter of developer convenience so that small changes can be made and checked quickly, but builds for test and release are always built clean.

I guess the codebases we're talking about here are at such a scale that the incremental approach is actually used for releases too?

It still seems to me as though this is something that s should be solved architecturally though with an appropriate composition of modules ...

It appears that you assume more sq. ft. implies higher quality of life. Are you aware of any studies that indicate that's true? I would think that most New Yorkers would consider the traffic mess in a place like Dallas to be an indication of a lower quality of life. I believe there are studies that indicate this is true.
This is fascinating, but only if you hold faith in inherent truth of mathematical symbolism. Unfortunately, this seems to be the standard dogma of mathematicians, though I haven't seen significant evidence necessary to warrant this belief.

If you understand mathematics and logic as merely a formalized language of symbols then you can judge those systems on certain qualities (complexity, clarity, expressiveness, etc.) but not "truth." The creation of a logical expression analogous to a natural phenomenon should instead use the methods of science hypotheses and testing.

I made the grid of Picnic CSS very flexible to be able to do that, what do you think? :)

https://picnicss.com/documentation#grids

In exchange it makes the framework a bit heavy (~10kb), but if you use the CSS these can be modified and optimized as seen here: https://github.com/franciscop/picnic/blob/master/src/plugins...

Edit: this is the independent experiment I did before merging the grid system into Picnic, which I think it's still quite cool:

A Go-To-Market Strategy for Developing an On-Demand Delivery App Like Postmates
This might be a preference that isn’t universally shared, but I really do find shorter programs easier to read. I don’t mean code-golf style short, but languages that don’t need a lot of boilerplate or ceremony. I’ve frequently used Python on personal projects for over 20 years because of its expressiveness.

Of course, correctness trumps almost everything in programming. Rust seems like a really nicely balanced programming language that can replace C++ and C and provide additional protection against some kinds of common errors made by programmers. So it’s definitely on my list of languages to try next for a project.

Congrats on the release!

- i'm the main developer for this now.

- few features were fun to think about - there were some challenges in making it work recursively for the template parsing.

- thinking of a simple api to use for the component
also, making sure there are no memory leaks requires deep testing.
- making auto render and connecting the store was a nice challenge

currently, i don't have a long term vision for it.

however, i do think of it of way to bootstrap small quick widgets in a page while sharing one or more stores.
the aim is reusing the way i can create standalone dom elements fast and easy while using only es-latest code.

The moral of Elysium wasn’t that our species is headed for that world. The director intended it to be a dramatic portrayal of the world we already live in. Take away the scifi backdrop of a generational satellite with artificial gravity and immortality and you’re left with substantially the same vision of the world as what we currently have.

Those of us who are affluent and live in coastal cities (and similar cities across the world) are, comparatively speaking, wealthy beyond the dreams of avarice. Most of us can’t afford everything around us. But we enjoy - and frequently take for granted - luxuries and technology which billions of other humans can scarcely even conceive of having in everyday life.
