The article should be called “advice that didn’t end up being good in my case”. Power vacuums often are great times for people to find a new spot and a new opportunity. I’ve seen this happen many times at companies I’ve been at. For example certain people who previously were not the highest qualified person to be a manager ended up getting an opportunity to be one—they ended up doing a really good job and got promoted multiple times after that. So I would say if you are hoping to get into a position that you may not on paper look right for, sticking around during a power vacuum is not a bad idea at least for a while.
The best time to add a decent standard library was 10 years ago. The second best is today.

Shipping a decent set of core libraries would do wonders for package sizes. You could cover a lot of use cases with a relatively small API surface area (the classic 80/20 rule) and you'd find that a lot of duplication in implementing the fundamentals in third party packages would just go away.

Browsers update pretty quickly now, anyway. It's likely that in the future we will see most sites using a lightweight package for modern browsers and a heavy polyfill for IE, which is fine by me.

Honestly speaking, encryption never stopped me. Doesn't matter if it is something simple like M9 xor described in this story or fancy AES/HMAC from Canon or Sony.
It just makes reversing more complicated and invasive. You have to open body, rip off flash or solder wires somewhere to sniff comms. Unlike Apple, camera vendors are not that paranoid and try to keep firmware unencrypted on flash to reduce the boot time. In other words this is the part when your wife can kill you for bricking the camera :)
"People have to stop wasting our limited resources"

+ 'Resources' are a whole other issue

+ By whose definition do you mean 'wasting'?

+ Deflation is a scary thing not because prices go down, that alone is just a number. When deflation hits, what happens is businesses lose incentive to invest. They stop, further driving the spiral.

The reason that the Fed shoots for 2% inflation and not 0% is to keep the treadmill moving just a little bit forward - if it stops or goes negative, it has crazy scary implications.

Businesses need to see the economy expanding in order to make investments in people, capital equipment etc. which is why 'a little bit of inflation' is good.
As for point 2: you’re underestimating the distance between stars. Trade on the interstellar scale can’t exist; so we’re limited to at most our own solar system (I would count a colony in a new solar system to be a separate system altogether).

How are they at odds with each other? Julia is more expressive and faster than python. It supports all the same high level programming constructs, and better versions of the same (like it's lambdas, macros, multi dispatch).

The one issue is compilation time, which is much and improved and will be further obviated through more caching and planned multi level compilation.

>video games are video games, Netflix doesn't know shit about them, and if you ask me they are better off focusing on their core competency versus trying to build a moat with a gimmicky concept.

The point wasn't that they should compete with video games, or enter the space.

The point was that in the war for attention and engagement, netflix sees better competition from non-tv streaming services than it sees from other tv streaming services. It was a dig on HBO and Disney, not a suggestion for a new business venture.

Productivity can’t increase forever either.
I recommend all readers to follow footnote [20] in the Wikipedia article. This is bonus round good.
The expression "Time suck" doesn't just mean "takes a lot of time", or people would be complaining that eating is a time suck. It has a connotation of wasted or unproductive time (where "productivity" is defined personally, as loosely as you like). A useful analogy might be junk food: 600 calories of potato chips has exactly as many calories as 600 calories of a balanced steak dinner, but the former is less filling and nutritious.

It's reasonable to describe a service full of perceived low quality content as a time suck in ways that one might not consider watching better content.
yes - snprintf() returns the length of the string that would be written even if it wasn't clipped to the length of the output buffer - if you want to accumulate strings into a buffer using the output length to update the offset/size bad things will happen.

For what it's worth, I'm in Texas and the dates printed on the prepackaged food in my fridge have similar language; some say "best before", some say "best by", and some say only "b.b." (which is disturbingly ambiguous). I'm sure I've seen products with "use by" or "expires on" labels here though, but I've never interpreted any of them differently. Just seems like a guideline to me, I guess. Products that have an admonishment to "once opened, use within 7 days", like packaged deli meat, get my more thorough smell test.

But I have two questions for you:

- where I live, most beer has only a "born on" date, and apparently never expires. What about over there?

- and my only test for egg goodness is that good ones sink and bad ones will float. I've heard that eggs in the UK are prepared for sale differently - does this test work for them?

I recommend looking at the basic client profile of OIDC to start. It is a good cut through all the options.

Also you may want to look at the OIDC conformance testing tools for testing if you are building your own library or server. Certification costs money, but the conformance testing tools I believe are all open source.
I was using an s8 last year and iirc facebook could only be 'disabled,' not uninstalled. Same with many others. I switched to a lineageOS friendly phone since with very few issues (pixel XL).
Some things I wanted in JavaScript is a goto command, and macros. They mention objects to compare by value, and I had a bit different idea which is a UserPrimitive function which has a similar meaning (but different; user primitives would also allow some degree (but still restricted in some ways) of operator overloading).

Bigint is a good thing they added. Sometimes you need to deal with 64-bit integers, and other times you might want unlimited range, so that helps. However, some operations that are not currently built-in perhaps should be in order to be more efficient, such as log2 of bigint numbers or counting trailing bits.

A built-in RegExp.quote() function is another thing (although it is easy to make, it seem to me it is something that ought to be built-in).

If macros are implemented, then many features can be done by macros and do not need to be built-in features.

One feature of JavaScript that I dislike is automatic semicolons.

And yet, many proposals (including these) may be rejected if better ways are found.

What the world can't escape is politicians and people in power always overspending.

The overspending always must come to an end when for every additional monetary unit in debt you get very low improvement in the economy but you in debt the future. You are living from your children income.

What usually comes after that is destruction of capital, either by war(you loose all what you have) or inflation, deflation or both simultaneusly(terrible deflation in some things,terrible inflation in others).

You can make the general population pay for it(raising inflation higher than incomes), or you can make the owners of capital pay for it(haircut of 30% or so of their worth).

Of course the owners of capital, like the owners of the NewYorkTimes do not want to pay for it. So they will try to influence the population to do what is best for them basically with propaganda.

In the past it was basically States and Church the only capable institutions for using propaganda. Right now there are also private institutions who control what people feel and think through PR, ownership of media, think tanks and Universities.
I think I should have been able to figure that one out :facepalm: :D

Economic growth is not primarily derived through the extraction of resources, is why.

As we become more sophisticated, we learn how to make better and better use of resources.

Right now, we value some resources more than others. As we evolve, that dynamic shifts.

How valuable was Uranium ore 100 years ago? Well, it was just a kind of poisonous rock. Now it can power cities.

Freshwater was 'unlimited' 100 years ago, now it's a little more scarce so we have to put economic terms around it, meaning it'll be too costly for some industries which will adapt.

Etc. etc..

Eh? I've been working with Razor in VS since it first existed, and I just haven't experienced this.

Somewhat counter-intuitively, a low unemployment rate is a lot more important to workers' overall incomes than a rise in wages (given typical variation in both). This is also why high real wages are so damaging when they lead to higher involuntary unemployment: they actively rob those who are most in need of their rightful incomes! It's why recessions make people angry and anxious for "something to be done", whatever that might be.

And make no mistake, a combination of low inflation and low growth is already something very near to a recession. The Fed and other central banks are worryingly close to dropping the ball now, as they did in late 2008. Luckily though the circumstances are not nearly as bad now as they were back then - there's a fair chance that we'll muddle through.

For a 1st offense, minor misdemeanor, 35 days is a LOT.

So either the misdemeanor was not minor, or this guy has something else going on?

Like maybe he's black?

Maybe he's dating the arresting cop's ex? But if this kind of thing were the case, you'd normally see more charges. (And no plea bargains.)

I'd say maybe it was a political thing, but it's not an election year.

Who knows? But 35 days is way outside the mean. The average person would not get that much for a 1st offense on a minor misdemeanor.

I agree, the bread-type mold must be different from the cheese-type. Maybe the loose structure of the bread makes it easy for the mold to spread thin and quick through the air gaps, while in cheese it propagates more slowly.

> Netflix was able to coerce more than half of its subscribers to watch this film

What definition of 'coerce' are you using? I'm a Netflix subscriber. I saw this thing popup in my feed. Had a glance. Read some articles about it. Doesn't sound overwhelmingly compelling to me. I've added it to 'My List' but keep finding other stuff to watch ahead of it. I suspect it will end up getting removed from my list without having been watched. I guess I'm in the other half of Netflix users?
I disagree. Stuff should not be added to Object.prototype, although it can be a function in Object itself (such as Object.equals or something, not Object.prototype.equals). You are correct it does not need a new syntax though.
Looking at the public and complete data from Sweden we see that gender segregation is very universal human behavior. There more freedom a person have the more biased their choice is to groups that share similar traits to themselves.

A now few years old government study on gender segregation, they cited a older study that found that being in a minority makes a person less confident when faced with a challenged compared to being in a majority. Not massively so, but adding up every small and big challenges a person face in life while being a student, to finding a job, to being a professional for several years, and the results is a significant higher risk of leaving a field where one is a minority.

The big issue with this kind of research is that we don't have any gender to blame. It is equally male and female behavior, and the result is almost unbelievable similar results where in Sweden 88.6% of women and 88.4% of men work in gender segregated fields. The 12.5% that work in non-gender segregated fields, where no gender is bigger than 150% than the other gender, is a shrinking minority and there is no evidence to show either gender being behind it.

Was just discussing with my buddy the other day how having a large fleet of electric vehicles will change the grid. You essentially have a Tesla power wall with wheels.

If the charging circuits were modified to allow discharge as well, then your car could act like a "household capacitor", handling high loads like induction cooktops during peak demand, reducing the strain on the grid. The car would then recharge later during low demand.

Not sure how electricity is billed around the world but here in Norway they'll be introducing a power element, that is you'll have to pay a certain amount each month for the peak power you want to be able to draw. This is typical in the industry I understand, but until now consumers here have just paid per kWh.

Thus, treating your car like a power wall would allow you to reduce the peak demand you need to satisfy, which would be reflected in your bill.

>Are there pain points or disadvantages to libraries like Babel that we could address via the core language instead?

I think the main disadvantage is that compilers need to target something, and then JS engines need to be able to optimize that code even after it's transpiled. That's something that bringing these features into the language itself can help.

Take a look at async/await for an example of this. For a fairly long time it was extremely slow to run async/await when it was compiled to es5, because the subtleties required some fancy work on the part of the compilers, even going so far as to include a small runtime to achieve it.

Once it was supported by the JS engines themselves, it pretty quickly matched the speed of code full of `.then` with promises.

It's obviously not impossible, but I'm guessing it's much harder. There's a reason why the x86 architecture is still getting new features and additions, and it's not just for the comfort of people writing raw assembly.

Then you need to think about other tooling. Linters, compilers, static analyzers, minifiers, they all need a way to analyze the code you are writing. If that code is using features that aren't "standard" (or are on track to become standard maybe), then it would quickly get much messier than it already is.

You aren't just talking about compiling now, but also a unified way of adding "plugins" to linters, compilers, static analysis tools, syntax highlighters, minifiers, and more. Because adding a "syntax plugin" is a non-starter if it means we can't minify our code or run our linter, and creating a new "syntax plugin" would be much harder if you also had to make plugins and changes to all of those things to even let it begin to become useful.

Adding this stuff to the language is where it belongs, things like types on the other hand I firmly believe belong in "compile to JS" languages or dialects like TypeScript or Flow. That's a great abstraction level for that, simply because it doesn't change the output of the code (for the most part), it just enforces restrictions on it.
AFAIK, the well accepted theory was always that as EROEI of fossil fuels get lower, more and more of the economy would be targeted (directly or indirectly) into fossil fuel extraction, and less would be available to the end-goal wealth. Thus even with the GDP and total extraction growing, we would get poorer and poorer, until the fuel extraction business becomes so large that something breaks.

We seem to be experiencing that. But people have been great in avoiding the EROEI collapse that some expected, so it does not seem to be a large factor on the world's economy. It is very unlikely that the current stagnation can be attributed to peak oil.
If you could expand it into a longer answer, I would appreciate that - perhaps there are some pieces of good design (git add -p?) in Git, but overall it's too messy for many.
