This is a terrible idea. When factual writing becomes anonymous, truth goes out the window.

Having articles and papers peer-reviewed also does not solve the greater issue of a lack of free speech. If it's inside academia, then it wouldn't be hard to figure out who the peers are, and if it's outside academia, then there's no way to trust the peers, since they could simply be anybody.

The only solution is to strongly enforce the right of free speech and personal protection. Going underground just invites fascism.
We are so close, probably within 50 to 100 years, of having technology far beyond what we can comprehend now. We have the chance to be multi-planetary, automate pretty much all work, and fullfil everyone's basic needs...if we don't destroy everything first.

I'm going to be real pissed off if we screw this up.

Don't know why you're getting downvoted, but I linked to a lot more than articles about local debt. Perhaps you could refute the OECD long term forecast that predicts a plateau rather than setting up a straw man about business insider articles.

By the way, I'm not even saying that China won't overtake the US economy sometime this century, I'm saying that naive extrapolation based on current growth rates is a terrible way to predict the future.
It's more than that though. Liberalism is a religion, sure, but there's a right wing equivalent too that's just as fervent. (No, it's not Nazism, though that isn't to say that's not a threat too.) I think it's just the polarization of the parties. Both of the main sociopolitical parties in the US have become so vehemently polarized that they view each other as the greatest threat to the country. In turn, you're either entirely 100% with them, or your clearly someone from the other party and you're the enemy.
To amplify some of the business-related points already mentioned : War as an industry is itself profitable and the mobilization of resources toward the purpose of a war being actively prosecuted puts desirable numbers in a lot of peoples' spreadsheets.

As opposed to run-of-the-mill 'defense spending', wherein materiel and training costs are limited by the nature of routine budgetary apparatus, an active war consumes gargantuan supplies of goods, from weapons and ordnance to socks and coffee, that need to be constantly replenished. And technical costs are free to spiral because the notion of failure in automated systems, communications, etc, is terrible to countenance.

Funding is also easier to get during an active war because, well, 'THIS IS WAR!' The point in this thread from restalis about salesmanship is spot-on.

It's also worth noting that the equities / stocks associated with war-oriented corporations are tremendously widespread in terms of portfolio inclusion. Nearly everybody has Lockheed, General Dynamics, etc etc etc in their retirement fund [for the somewhat circular reason that those stocks generally do perform in the long term].
There is just as much work in the cloud, if anything there’s more.
a) They are monopolies by the classic definition.

b) "a monopoly is perfectly fine, AS LONG AS the economic power isn't abused to prevent competition which harms consumers."

This is kind of a non sequitur ... Of course they will prevent competition, that's the essential name of the game. Every company does this - this is not 'abuse' it's just how it works. Ergo, by your definition monopolies are all bad.

I actually think some monopolies are good - when you have well run actor that has some external controls on prices etc. it provides stability among other things.

c) To the extent that colas can be defined as a market, then they have a monopoly. 'Search' does exist aside an adjacent market in which content can be replaced, so it's not helpful.

Google needs to be broken up.

Search is so fundamentally essential ... it's like 'information neutrality'.

The FANGS are total hyprocrits pushing for 'Net Neutrality'.

Just as Comcast should not be able to offer anything but QoS and not read the content of my bites ... Google should not be able to offer anything but quality search. All their other products depend on their search monopoly. Much like Comcast would leverage looking at your packets. Much like Microsoft leverages their OS power to control office software etc..

Search, OS, maybe even Browsers - should be independent, just as Carriers can't use their power to get into other lines of business.

The AT&T merger is bad news, they shouldn't be in the content business.

Also this is the same company that brought us AMP and didn't use closing tags on their landing page to "save bandwidth", and tried to push a java -> JavaScript nightmare of a gui toolkit. I don't get why they are trying to push for this unless it's trying to strongarm devs into making more shitty AMP pages.
This was my immediate impression as well. But it was influenced by the use of the word plunged in place of fell.

The similarities with webhint are striking. For example they have mostly the same categories :

* Performance (exactly same as webhint)

* PWA (exactly same name as webhint)

* Accessibility (exactly same as webhint)

* Best Practices

* SEO

Webhint also has categories Interoperability and Security. Not sure what web.dev uses for those.
" Why is the market so disfunctional that a single company has effectively swallowed all competition?"

In most places there just isn't any competition really. It's a brand war.

Coke taught the locals to love Coke. And so they do.

It's more of a mind share / branding monopoly - although there are some issues with distribution as well.
I think Israel (and, unlike GP, also Iran) are too small-time to start real global war. They're more the potential Bosnias or Serbias - small, belligerent countries that could drag their patrons into conflict.
You're making a vague, sweeping claim here without any evidence to back it up.

Also, I think you're misusing the term "liberalism" here. Liberalism is an ideology that supports freedom of expression and diverse viewpoints. The illiberal leftist ideologies that you seem to be referring to are not a part of liberalism (the issue is that liberalism and the political left tend to get conflated in American usage).

You run a site. On this site, copyright infringing material is available and distributed. This is criminal. Is the excuse "Someone else put it there" valid? No, because you allowed them to put it there. Essentially, it is exactly the same legal issue that has already been settled my The Pirate Bay trial.

Nuclear weapons are the reason why the competing global powers have found new ways to compete and project power abroad.

Mine has been impacted by a few significant health blows, followed by the death of a thousand cuts.

Health problems inhibiting, interrupting sustained focus and "flow".

Environments that have become increasingly distracting. Audible and visible noise, more and more inescapable. Some sick environments -- physical toxins.

Compounded, co-morbid symptoms that have made it difficult to sort out what is actually a factor and to what extent.

Co-morbid stress and eventual "depression" or whatever you want to call it. That remarkably and relatively quickly lifts, when I get out of these circumstances for a bit.

I now know and believe I have some significant if not permanent, long-term damage.

For some time, I've been saying "next year", but another "crisis" inevitably comes along (mostly those of other people in my life).

Well, next year. Somehow, I'm going to move. And I'm going to find ways to simply not work for and with people who promote these conditions.

Stop the cuts.

P.S. I write this so that if it rings true for other people, they don't wait so long to "get out" and break the downward positive-reinforcement loop.
I think helm (helm.sh) solves that problem. Helm is basically package manager of kubernetes. So to install any app, as long as there is a helm chart for that app, you simply do:
helm install myapp
and helm will install the app on your kubernetes cluster.

^ yep, the above point regarding famine [and civilian suffering in general] being the biggest weapon of war is impossible to over-emphasize. Wars are generally won by breaking the will of the people against whom one is waging war, and that is done by reducing the population to a state of utter misery.
I assume the corporation can see any excess profits being made and increase the royalty fees to make sure the franchisee isn't left with much, which it does seem like 7-Eleven is doing according to the article and another poster. It just seems like a very crappy deal, but I guess that's worth taking if you have no other options.
Probably because, like myself, the OP isn't informed enough to make a judgement on that case.

There are aggressive factors on all sides of that conflict and there's no clear-cut good or bad guy; only unfortunate things happening to real people who'd all be better off if religion stayed inside the walls of one's dwelling and temple of worship.

I can't replicate it in private browsing. I'm not running any mobile extensions and my internet is as good as it comes. First time I loaded it the blue line at the top was there for ages. I was scrolling the site for a good 20 secs marvelling at the irony of a site teaching performance not performing. It felt like something to do with the service worker not working. The cookie notice only appeared after I refreshed. Now it works fine, and loads fine each time. So it was something to do with the initial caching of assets.

And yes, the accessibility section coming soon sends the wrong message very subtly but powerfully. It's something we all need to be better at, and when you've got the resources of Google there just isn't any excuse. Those two small words on that missing section quietly absolve us all. Because if Google can't do it right, why should we? It just isn't good enough, so yes, they have let themselves and our community down. I know they're strong words, but someone needed to say it.
As a non-US person with zero interest in the US at all, the whole Left vs Right thing over there looks EXACTLY like a religious war from here.

Both sides are violently trying to force their beliefs on everyone else, and both sides think they're right and anyone who doesn't believe the same things as them is outright wrong and deserves to be destroyed.

Anyone who doesn't take a side, is basically considered to be worth nothing, and either mocked or considered as bad as the enemy.

The sheer amount of HATE that flows out of the US is mind boggling.
Thanks for the pickup. Would you believe it's the only bug I had on my list and you've found it! I'll attend to it.
In articles like this monopoly is used as shorthand for monopoly power.

For a company to have a 'monopoly power' it does not have full monopoly. Antitrust laws start to apply to corporations long before they have full monopoly.

arc4random() and getrandom() are orthogonal. The former generates cryptographical pseudorandom data in-process, periodically re-seeding from an OS entropy source. The latter in an interface to an OS entropy source.
I love duckduckgo and I feel I can almost replace google completely with it. I only have the following comments on it.

1. They're hosted in the US. I wish the company would pick up and move to a country not within the 14 eyes and out of jurisdiction of the cyber super powers(US, China, and Russia). Maybe panama? At least move it virtually with a warrant canary in place.

2. The search results need better contrasting colors for glancing through. Google is noticeable better with it's bolder fonts and better typeface/colors. I feel this would be easy place to innovate in over google.

3. Better site specific searches. Right now you can search a specific site for results. For example right now you can search specific sites using `site:ycombinator.com rust programming langugage` and you will only get results from hackernews. It works great right now and I use daily in my workflows but it would be great to do this from the search bar for firefox or some better way.

Search engines have _alot_ of areas they can innovate in and I feel google with all its controversy(prism program, chinese state surveillance, etc) that many people would prefer to have their searches(and their life stories) in a company that values their users privacy to a fanatical extent.
Israel has "the bomb", they definitely could start a global war.
> > Nobody owed small bookstores a living.

> By saying that you're basically throwing the whole concept of "fairness" out of the window, so that's no argument.

Not at all. I'm saying that, if the small bookstores are less efficient at providing books to people, then there is room for a more efficient competitor to drive them out of business without any unfair competition taking place.

> In my view, Amazon does provide a more complete service than smaller bookstores, but they achieved this with external money; money obtained from outside the book-selling business.

So what if the money was from outside the book-selling business? You seem to be declaring all outside capital investment to be unfair, which strikes me as a bizarre stance. Were railroads unfair competition to wagons because the railroads had to raise capital on Wall Street?

If there's an appropriate time for unhealthy food, this is it. Eating tasty food, regardless of healthiness, seems to be part of the appeal of these events. It's a social event, and should be fun and casual. I don't eat pizza very often, and having the opportunity to have some makes an event ever so slightly more appealing.
Easier bug fix presumably. Meaning if there is a bad release url is cached for little. If urls were versioned and were changable by google, it would have been done.

https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js

Google cannot bust this in case of a bug. They can mitigate this by having a loader with built in functionality that always looks out for "is there a newer version" but that has its limitations.
s/liberalism/progressivism if you care that much about labels. In my opinion they are rather fluid, and 19th century / early 20th century liberalism is not present day liberalism, which I find to be perhaps only a slightly milder form of progressivism.

And as far as providing an argument or evidence goes, I think the essay "How Dawkins Got Pwnd" [1] makes the case better than I could, so I'll simply refer you there.

So I know you wanted to frame this as IDE vs. REPL, but most IDEs have REPL built in (I think every Python IDE can open Jupyter notebooks no problem), and the additional features just depend on context. Like, scientific computing with Python, R or Matlab? You'll probably profit a lot from using RStudio, Spyder or, well, Matlab. Huge projects with lots of data and many files... why go through the pain of a html-based file management system if you can have as many text-editors and IDEs installed as you like...
I mean, the choice you frame just isn't really a relevant question.

Instead, this is clearly a marketing article for your own product.
You specifically ask the question in your article, why would anyone install an IDE locally, instead of using your product.

The answer seems very obvious to me:
Only very few people can actually use an online interface, such as your product, in actual production.

For me, for example, it would be a non-starter. Not only do I work with sensitive data that I can't just upload to somewhere else, I am also often on the road and simply do not have guaranteed internet. So I'll need a local IDE anyway.
Another reason is that the actual computing infrastructure is located, and protected, in a local network. So I couldn't even run my code directly. How much computing power do you actually provide?
What if I actually generate large output files? Where do they go? Like, do you just send me gigabyte sized files over the tubes constantly? Do I have to download thousands of files from that terrible web-interface? How do you deal with changes in massive datasets? How do you deal with those data that need to stay local?

The whole article is just weird. The use-case for local IDEs is pretty clear, and I think the people who actually have to use some local solution is, and will be, larger than those who just casually write their code in your datasets. Most people would literally get fired for using your product as you suggest.

In fact I think the major use-case for your product is education and learning, specifically where you code in several languages.
Like, you quote some kid asking why one would like to learn an IDE if repl.it is so cool and good.
Well, that kid is obviously learning and not leapfrogging anything. Sooner or later, he/she will be coding in a company on a larger project and then all of the above applies.

I also like the irony of repl.it stating its support for Open Source, while apparently not being OpenSource itself.
> But being blue isn't a defining feature of Facebook

Indeed, nor is it a defining feature of the market. That is exactly my point: if your labe of "monopoly" relies on a non-defining feature of a market that sets it apart from other markets (meaning that there is little competition between borders), you definition of monopoly is useless.
This is actually a problem across multiple social networks. On Facebook and Instagram there's been a lot of scams recently with people selling stuff way below retail. They're complete scams. I reported it to Facebook through their mobile UI and they didn't really investigate it.
This, and especially in the first argument of 'for'. Not back compatible, very inelegant and luckily discouraged in many projects' coding guidelines.
Why is YouTube's inability to scale to meet the EU's regulation anyone else's problem but YouTube's? Your logic applies again, to YouTube as well. If YouTube can scale to ship videos, they can scale to actually be responsible for them. Shouldn't they be held responsible for the illegal activity they profit from? And be responsible to figure out how to make a business model around that basic responsibility?
Speaking as an immigrant - trust me, there would be. Yes, you wouldn't get the entire population of the Third World overnight. But even the amount that could afford it (or would save to afford it if they knew they had that option) would be orders of magnitude more, and would overwhelm the country.

The evoluent / handshoe mouse style has become super popular in our office, in Chinese knock-off version. I did a quick survey of the first 10 pages of Taobao for 'mouse' and found these: https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=20288588114 (M618), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=573278251534 (M618mini), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=555760230292 (M618plus), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=546631216176 (LM108), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=572300439124 (J95), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=568169443036 (GMAERGBT11), https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=580133010482 (MA-ERGW61).

I think my only complaints on VS Code these days is if I use git bash (msys) as my main terminal, sometimes the rendering and responses are borked (nano in particular is very bad). Also, sometimes on a restart/reload, the attached processes running in terminal views is detached, and running in the background still.

Overall, VS Code is incredibly solid and hands down my favorite editor/coding utility today. Starting to get some UI integration for settings, though I think often the JSON is easier to edit directly still.
For hundreds of years, after every leap in productivity, people have proclaimed the 'end of work'. But that never happens. One theory is that cost of living rises to offset generated wealth (historically, see real estate).

It's not a brand war in a lot of places. Coke is notorious for getting favorable deals (e.g. water rights) from local governments that give them effective monopolies.
> monopoly is used as shorthand for monopoly power

No, it is used as shorthand for "market share in a market I define arbitrarily".

Proving monopoly power is a much more complex and academic process.
