> why does Node need file extensions when Other languages don't?

Node allows you to require things that aren't commonjs javascript. (json, native extensions, etc).

> when Ryan dahl announced Deno, he mentioned [removing extensionless resolution] as an obviously good change

I think a lot of people disagree with ryan dahl in this case (I certainly do). The ability to have a dependency expose an interface without knowing what type of thing that dependency is is very powerful, and i think it is one of the reasons people like require so much.
Steve Blank has curated a great list of the tools, available here - https://steveblank.com/tools-and-blogs-for-entrepreneurs/

I would be interested in what your favorite startup tools?
So if the price is $15 and there are N users playing M streams of songs ... how much is really available to each artist?

Note that they don't make any claim about spotify's margins or profits here. It's a submarine article to demand they raise prices (and pass the increase on to the labels).
You are right. You can find a Javascript version in this page http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdaspeech/?view=lispology and the initial LISP code in https://www.physik.uzh.ch/~psaha/mus/fourlisp.php on which the {lambda talk} code has been built with some missing examples.
Do you have more details? How did you write your app in such a way that isn't "bad?"
Sorry, but I can't feel bad for somebody whining about only making $92k in a single day from work they did 24 years ago.

Maybe Spotify is ripping off artists, but this story doesn't demonstrate it.

Newlines in the middle of a quoted field will cause problems for a lot of tools. And Python's csv.DictReader gives an error when a delimited file has too few fields.

But one can usually work around this.
It's not any different other than the speed it happens at. 20 years ago it would have taken minutes/hours for some of the drops we've seen to materialize. Now you can watch the NQ drop 100 points in less than 5 minutes, 20 years ago that would have taken hours, possibly all day. People had to wait on quote services via satellite, telephone calls to their floor traders, or actually be in the pits during the selloffs. Now it only takes us a couple seconds to connect our device of choice to our trading platforms. Market makers stop providing liquidity during these sell-offs much faster than they could 20 years ago.

This is such a hard thing to measure, since programming isn't about how many widgets. Even how fast you complete a project. Often the team is making decisions about interface and data design that impact the project down the line. With 2 teams working, you would get 2 different products and I think it would be hard to see which is the better product without significant time. You could also have the exact same team make the same product 5 times and get 5 different products. Experiments with humans are hard
Thanks for that.

I think this begs for a better "date" object though, rather than an advocate for the programmable formatter, no?
Well maybe not in desktops, but don't you think that mobile devices (even micro controllers, like ESP8266) have a lot to benefit from multi-core, even for just regular apps that have nothing to do with number crunching/gaming etc.?
> They also have...similar pain thresholds

Passive funds have no pain thresholds which force them to sell. Investors in them may. But that’s a difference in how individual investors’ risk tolerances are abstracted to broad market pricing, not a change in those risk expressions themselves.

I don't think its as much a matter of people caring or not as it is that node is implementing ecma262 esm, not babel esm or typescript esm, etc.
This looks like someone’s sophomore college assignment. There is almost no practical advice here except defining buzzwords at a high level. Most critically the section on microservices contains only the most basic information and shows no real world experience.
I understand that not everyone can, but I also understand that people commonly over extend themselves by attempting to "keep up with the jones" or to project their status as a "high earner" but getting that large home, or brand new luxury car.

I also attempt to make myself very marketable by being a generalist instead of specializing in any one area, I have a wide range of skills that can be applied to a large number of industries.

I also live a somewhat minimalist life style so if needed I could massively downsize my expenses, currently my "Must have to live" expenses total about 60% of my income (and that is high because in the last year I acquired some new assets normally I run less than 50%) , that is my mortgage, utilities, auto expenses, food, etc. I could in theory take a 35% pay cut, it would impact my ability to save for retirement, and my hobbies but not my everyday life.

I think most people could have that level of security as well, with proper budgeting and self control, most people however want the nicest home that they pay 5-10x their annual salary for (my home is under 2x my annual salary), most want the fancy new car, I drive a reasonable used car cheap to maintain, and insure. I do not eat out often, I grow some of my own food, in fact for 2019 my goal is to get down to a food budget of less than $7 per day, I am much higher than that right now.

the point is, having a rainy day fund for job loss should be a higher priority than it is for people, i wish I would have learned that less in my 20's instead of in my mid 30's it would have saved me lost of pain.

Anything less than 6mos of expenses should be alarming to people. 3mos being the absolute bare minimum, and should be kept in a high yield cash savings account.
False dichotomy. There are plenty of ways to share code across these platforms, without writing everything in JavaScript.
I love music, strongly support musicians, and buy tons of music, but you're not going to make me feel bad that artists can "only" make $92k a day on Spotify.
I had forgotten all about that. I use to drive by the shop that built it and where it was also parked outside of every day during my commute and always wondered what that was for (figured it was for a movie, but didn't wonder enough to remember to look up which one...)

Thanks for the link!
I'd love to get back into music at some point. Not sure which direction within that I'd specifically want to pursue, but it's something I sorely miss doing.

Meanwhile, Deno (alternative server-side JS built from scratch by the creator of Node) keeps chugging along:

https://github.com/denoland/deno

It will be interesting to see which happens first: developers migrate to Deno or Node finalizes its ES module implementation.

I think both groups are doing excellent work, but the Node team seems to be at a disadvantage having to continue support for some decisions made early on in Node:

A lot of the attention on the stock market is focused on the short term (i.e. panic sells or a flight to safety in reaction to quick emotional events), but I wonder what happens when this dynamic plays out in the long term.

Right now, the pool of people putting money into the market has been steadily increasing as Millenials enter the workforce. Boomers are retiring, but not really in large numbers yet, so the overall number of folks saving for retirement has been continually increasing since Boomers started entering their prime earning years in the early 1980s.

However, the peak of the Boomer years will soon start entering retirement soon (~2020) while the early Boomers are starting to die off. And the generation after Millenials - who will start comprising the workforce in 2020 - is much smaller than the Millenial generation. There are fundamental issues with demographics that can't be papered over by financial engineering: a smaller working-age population supporting a larger dependent population (absent massive technological advancement in care) = lower standard of living for everyone.

Demographically, this would play out as a generation-long bear market, but markets tend to correct as soon as everyone adjusts their expectations for the future. That implies a sudden and massive crisis at some point with stock market levels correcting to the yields and prices of the 1970s, adjusted for inflation. That would imply an S&P 500 of about 370 (down ~95%) and interest rates in the 10% range.
JavaScript is environment agnostic, such that JavaScript doesn't know what a directory is. Many other languages have a standard library that define these things, but JavaScript does not deliberately to avoid presumptions upon specific environmental constraints that apply in some conditions but not others. A directory is a convention of a file system. When executing in a web browser there is no file system.

If they wish to achieve convention and function compatibility with code that works in the browser certain constraints are necessary to prevent assumptions that work in one place and not another. Also, consider the work that happens when resolving files from a directory:

1. You have to determine if the thing is a directory or a file.

2. Get list of files in directory.

3. Read each file

4. Determine if that file is a ESM.

5. Load modules only if the file is ESM.

These steps would not work in a browser.

No, per-capita rates, not absolute population numbers, are what directly affect the odds that anything will happen to you personally. That's why we have per-capita rates.

The only place where per-capita comparisons really break down are for very tiny countries (micronations). When the population is only a few thousand, you can't get good statistical data from that as the sample size is too small, plus micronations just don't compare to real nations for many reasons. But that's not the issue here because we're comparing nations that all have populations well into the tens of millions or more.

No - how many times have these people paid for this song?

If they had bought the CD (and many of them have) or the cassette (and many of them have) or the mp3 (and many of them have) or the iTunes AAC (and many of them have) they could play it infinite times and never pay Mariah another red cent.

The music industry keeps trying (and sometimes succeeding) to convince people that they deserve new payment for the same work on every form of new media forever.

the entire browser engine needs to be bundled with each app

No. It depends on the package manager. E.g: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/electron...

A shared electron package used by a few different apps: see the "required by" column...

As electron gets more popular, this will be the standard in Linux distributions (at least historically thats how dependencies handled there), Windows has different standard (self contained everything) so there it is the normal way - everybody already used to it for decades...

Ah, this is where things start to get tricky. Or at least where they used to. The world has changed a bit and it turns out that recent versions of LibreOffice Draw do a fantastic job of editing PDF files, and not just adding and deleting pages as you might expect, but for editing text and images as well (so long as your PDF was created directly from a source document and not from a scan). It's not perfect, and I've had it choke up on a few more complex documents, but I'm still impressed with what a good job it does on many of the documents I've had to work with.

Inkscape, too, does a good job with opening documents created elsewhere, and may be a more intuitive choice if your document is heavy on graphics. There are standalone tools as well, like the GPLv2 licensed PDFedit, but I've had such good luck with Inkscape and LibreOffice that I haven't had to use a separate editor in recent years.
So there are FOSS PDF editors, and LibreOffice certainly allows you to export to PDF virtually everything

> Our brains are wired

Any time this phrase appears in an argument it's a good indication that I can ignore the argument.

Our brains are not "wired." They are pretty malleable and adaptable, and while a lot of that happens during childhood, they do remain fairly malleable throughout life.

While there are neural structures that are specialized for certain tasks genetically, it is incredibly unlikely that the form of the book has had any significant evolutionary effect that would lead to some genetic predisposition for a book compared to some other form of conveying written information. Books have only existed for a couple thousand years, but originally were quite expensive to produce and only available to the wealthy; mass market production of books has only happened for a couple hundred years.

There are probably reasons why many people prefer physical books to e-books, but to make a claim that it's based on some kind of "wired" preference in our brains rather than practical factors like battery life, compatibility issues, screen refresh rates, or any of a number of other simple, practical explanations is a bit extreme, and would need to be backed up with some kind of evidence.

I personally don't consume much in e-book form, but the reasons are because of DRM, ecosystem lock-in, poor formatting in e-books, and the like. I actually consume a lot more content electronically than I do in dead-tree form, but it happens to be web pages and DRM-free PDFs.
>Spotify pays whoever holds the rights to a song anywhere from $0.006 to $0.0084 per play.

It makes me happy that the cost of digital goods is falling. The distribution costs are so low for a digital item that this price seems much more in line with what people should pay for a download / stream.

Interestingly, at $10 a month Spotify is charging users $0.00023 per minute (60 * 24 * 30). If each song is about 3 minutes, they're making money on anyone who spends less than 10% of their time listening to music.

Invest in African growth businesses(stocks at the moment, African focused mutual markets). Purchase African products. Lobby your government/EU governments to continue AGOA(US)/open the door towards African food/crop imports (unlikely). And honestly, tourism, some great destinations on the continent, and a great way to actually spend in local economies.

Africans don't need charity. The NGO industrial complex has failed to create modern states, it can deliver great help to badly affected communities but it can't leapstart growth. We all know the US won't invest tens of billions in African countries, but change your perception of Africa as some place to be helped, and countries that want investment, this explains why China has become such a big player on the continent.

Building infrastructure is the way to help everyone gaining fortune again and the economy.

It's not just the roads, but everyone involved ( workers, companies, ...). But if you don't let the locals do it, you reduce the improvement a lot for the local economy.

Not to mention, that the infrastructure that is build, is mostly to guide resources away from Africa instead of improving the economy. And the strategic airports that are build with the Chinese help, are strategicly located. But there is no demand for it => It goes broke without enough income.

In the contract, the Chinese can gain the lease for 100 years. So the countries loaned money for a "prestigious project", eg. a strategic airport. It's build with Chinese people and chinese companies. The loan has to be repaid to the Chinese, but paid by the countries.

So yes, these "infrastructure" projects don't help the local economy and the countries take all the risk. China has got the money ( or infrastructure in possession), the workers employed and the influence of the Chinese companies in Africa.
There's probably still plenty of scope for increasing single-core performance on devices like that.
Make America realize that helping other countries will benefit the world including the US in the long run.

Or convince America that there is a whole continent that could become a powerful ally to the US when it will economically boom.
Short answer, but to the point.

These prestigious projects go broke without customers. The Chinese just gain control of the "strategic" location.

There's two problems with this. (1) It does no good to look at just pure money spent. You need to look at it in terms of percentage spent per year. And I'd say it does easily favor the rich, especially since they can often get loans and get a better deal on interest rates that poor people often can't.

(2) It does no good to compare across countries either. The necessity of a car is a distinctly American thing. In many countries you can get by without one thanks to public transportation or walking. America's poorest often don't have either of those luxuries, thus it'd be impossible to compare to poorer countries.

That said, I do know it effects clothes pretty heavily. I've bought two pairs of cheap tennis shoes this year. Now, I knew they were cheap and that they likely wouldn't last long and I didn't need them to, which is why I went ahead and got them. But for some that's all they can afford. If they go through three pairs, they've spent around $60-70, which is enough for one good pair that would last over a year. But they often don't have that money to drop on one good pair, and thus have to keep buying cheap ones. It's even more prevelant with boots, because they're more expensive.

And it happens with clothes too, especially when people have to wear the same thing to work regularly, and thus often wear the same two or three pairs of jeans. They wear out quicker, and if they're buying cheaper material, it happens faster too.
Actually my quest is to write the FFT code at the lambda-calculus level. Why? First for the fun and also because I consider that lambda-calculus is for the mind what assembly language is for the computer. See http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdaspeech/?view=PLR. In this page I would like to replace the inefficient unary numeration by a more efficient decimal position numeration and I guess that FFT, the Katsuba or any divide & conquer algorithm could be useful. It should be pleasant for the mind and could overcome limits of the JS numbers implementation.
