Why do these bigcos use native apps for internal tools? I would think a progressive web app would be easier to maintain for multiple platforms and a good-enough user experience for an internal tool.
It's cute that you think that the purging the "modern equivalent of the library" is "not getting to have reruns on network television".

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the "modern equivalent of the library" is, well, the library. A quick check reveals that it is still possible to find The Cosby Show at most libraries of record.
But you don't need a 3 bedroom appartment for 2 people.
At its worst? Surely there are worse ways...
Shouldn't that be a decision to be made by each consumer, rather than a mob of social justice warriors pressuring companies to prevent everyone from accessing it?
You've totally misunderstood the example then. The point is that lots of more advanced concepts in React can be intuitively constructed from the basics. Of course you have to learn something, every tool has an API. That doesn't mean all standardisation and abstraction in the history of computing is pointless because we could all be memorising x86 assembly programming patterns ad nauseum...

And you know what attitude is a detriment to everyone? The attitude that every library in JS land is worthy of praise just for the sole reason of existing. Yeah sure writing libraries is hard, and takes effort, and getting over 9,000 GitHub stars or Twitter follows or whatever the fuck is a great accomplishment, but it's perfectly possible to harm the overall ecosystem by blindly spreading bad abstractions and inferior solutions.
Heh, I had no idea I attracted such a wide audience. I'm still around!

These days I'm a professional graphics programmer -- I worked on a few games, fell in love with that, and I'm currently trying to figure out what's next. I don't know if Linux and GNOME are the right communities for me anymore for quite a few reasons.

This seems like a pretty good pattern, supporting journalism at the local, national, and global level.
Neither article claims what you say it claims.
Big fan of Apple products and privacy in general, but this was a really dumb move and to what end? This effort has done some serious damage to the relationships of the companies and caused needless divide. Google and Facebook should have been given a reasonable amount of time to remove the software and/or been denied renewal of their signing certs.
I think there's some parsing issues, because I would hate to end up at the end of my career as "Software Development Intern 12".
I grew to really hate annotation-based magic when I worked on a project that used Jackson for JSON serialization. Not only does it circumvent the type system entirely, it also makes errors incredibly hard to track down by virtue of the fact that there are next to no static constraints on how annotations are used. Something as simple as adding a serializable field to an interface or object often ended up requiring a ridiculous amount of trial and error to get right. I think annotations are valuable if used judiciously, but unfettered annotation-based metaprogramming only ever leads to pain in my experience.
"about the recurring patterns found in object-oriented software"

... in statically typed languages of that time (like C++ and to some extent Java). At least some patterns solve problems that are not (that kind of) a problem in, e.g., dynamically typed languages.
Apple Restores Facebook and Google Certificates
We've effectively hatched a Roko's Basilisk.
It's not uncommon.

But there is sometimes more going on than meets the eye. If it's an A.I/M.L startup, the number of PhDs is a significant factor in fund raising. Being able to say "we have 6 PhDs on staff" will open doors.

Well that was pretty quick. I wonder what that cost Google and Facebook.
Would be fascinating to have analysis like this of the tactics employed by Russians in Aleppo and rest of Syria.
You need to talk about both costs and benefits when discussing public policy. Otherwise, you end up with a ton of terrible policy that looks good due to an obvious tangible benefit, but nets out to more harm than good.

For example, minimum bedroom sizes for rental units. Seems nice to have enough space to live comfortably, right? End result though is the $20M apartment complex has 35 units instead of 40, and is only built later when rents have gone up to make the project make sense financially, exacerbating a housing shortage.
Seriously, yes. This happens all the time. I recently finished a Masters in CS with a focus on data science and machine learning from DePaul University, and I built predictive models that saved my previous employer hundreds of thousands of dollars every month. They had multiple machine learning positions open, but they told me they wanted Ph.D.s from University of Chicago level schools.

Now I lead a team of analysts and junior data scientists at the University of Chicago.

That company is still making money hand over fist.

By the way, the point of the concept of meritocracy is that it depends on performance, not on some proxy variable.
This reminds me of the 639-year-long piece being played in a German church (Cage’s “As slow as Possible”: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/As_Slow_as_Possible ). Religious and educational institutions are likely the only ones with such longevity & continuity (not surprisingly they’ve been intertwined in several cultures for millennia)

> Which one is correct?

The Bayesian is correct to offer the bet.

Who is correct about the sun exploding actually is irrelevant to that; only the conditional probability of the bet being collectable if the sun has exploded vs. that of it has not exploded is needed here. You would care about the probability that the sun actually had exploded if one of those weren't zero, but it is, so it doesn't matter.
Why? I think it is great that they closely monitor what goes into the App Store to better prevent malicious software. What’s a good case for not doing that?

The point being made is that the blackmail is unsaid and implicit.
I never considered memorizing the standard library having anything to do with coding. Same as memorizing where the books in a real library are to have anything to do with being able to read.

Learning to code for me is learning the concepts like variable, loop, if, map, reduce, oop, sequence, array, function, return, lambda, monad, state, side effects, etc.

Once you understand this, it doesn't matter what language and libraries get thrown at you, you'll be able to work with it. The rest you can read up in the documentation, and over time, as you say, you'll not need to look as much because you memorize it. But in my opinion that's just optimization after you learn coding.
Ask HN: When a CEO Faces Complete Disgrace, How Do They Stay Afloat?
My question is in the context of people like Elizabeth Holmes, who was charged by the SEC and currently being investigated by the FBI. She obviously cannot work any longer, and I suppose she was not reckless in her spending, so in the worst case scenario, she may have savings? But between lawyers fees, and falling out with many people, do CEOs like this go live with their parents, friends?

I know people do get back on their feet though, but it's the in-between period, the logistics that puzzles me. Is there a secret club that bails high flyers out?

Unless those apps not from the App Store are open source, we have very little means of being able to trust those apps to do the right thing. Apple isn’t perfect, but they do provide a modicum of assurance that the apps you install aren’t going to be malware. Apple’s incentives are aligned with the consumer — if a bunch of malware infects Apple devices, that harms the Apple brand and the consumer. The App Store also rewards developers who do the right thing by providing access to a billion devices in exchange for adhering to certain standards of security.
Well, other than YouTube, I don't use any Google apps so I would barely even notice. I don't use any Facebook apps.
I don't think the JS interface is the main performance bottleneck, honestly. I would start to look at Clutter and modernizing the GPU backend (e.g. using UBOs, using the depth buffer, batching texture binds, etc.) before thinking about killing the JS interpreter.

Now look at this list of only school shootings in America and tell me again that the BBC is unfairly reporting on too many of them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_...

What percentage have they reported on, anyway? Low single digit?

They could just use SMS notifications instead of push notifications. Both Google and Facebook have the infrastructure for that.
Im fairly new to Angular 2 and above and wonder why everytime I want to test a new piece of code does the project have to re-build itself. The rebuild takes almost up to five minutes.

I know this is a post about React (which doesn't it run on Node too), but as framework noob wondering why development has become so arduous vs. build it locally & refresh the page.

Also, the npm module stuff .. i mean some rando in the world updates their module and boom breaks the build for millions everywhere. WHAT? How is this efficient and better then prior to all these frameworks that run on Node?

Apple was part of the PRISM program.

If their integrity on privacy is true, they why lie about the PRISM program? What assurance do we have that Apple isn't part of PRISM or similar program anymore.

Apple as a hardware company,privacy narrative has worked in its favour & yes the consumers as well; but seeing it as a saviour of our privacy is just naive.
I don't know that this is an age thing so much as an income thing. It's anecdotal, but I'm 21, we weren't well to do growing up, and so the only way to get reliable TV for free was through the antenna.
I'm a founder of Kosmos and the story covers our intention well. I think the most counterintuitiv thing for people who don't have a lot of experience with VR is that VR is a fundamentally social technology.

For use cases where the social aspect is important, it is already better than video calls and this is just the beginning.
Its a fair question, when I was there Google was all over the design of the handsets (the original 'Dream' phone), they did the Nexus One with HTC, after I had left, they bought Motorola Mobility which did the Moto phones and that group mixed in with the Android handsets folks. Then Lenovo bought it from them.

Google's biggest challenge was customer support, they just didn't do the whole "someone to pick up the phone and talk to you" thing.

So I'd say, they have a core capability to do handset design (perhaps some of it residual) and they likely strongly influence the hardware they sell. Is their bench as deep as Apples? No.

I spent 20 minutes trying to come up with a password for chase.com recently because of insane rules like, you can use more than two characters in ascending or descending order, can't use the same character more than twice. Using a random password generator above about 20 characters, and it's guaranteed to break one of there inane rules; let alone if you want to use a pronounceable passphrase that's simply long. It's really aggravating that big companies are some of the worst at this security stuff.

You think the other parts are important because you don't like the tail.

But say, do you look forward to daily reports in your newspaper how on XY street there was no traffic accident yesterday? Or that no criminal escaped from YZ prison last month?

It's perfectly legitimate to focus on the interesting parts. You want to learn about an elephant's anatomy? Read a biology textbook, not journalism.
...or eyeball. :S

Oh, sure, it says it's safe...
I did not misunderstand it, I don't understand it at all. And I don't expect to. Because I don't know React (nor JSX). Nothing about this is "intuitive" to me (you keep mentioning this word, I don't think it means what you think it does).

There's really a few big choices for a JS framework now (and of course thousands of small ones). Calling fellow developers who use the second most popular JS framework "noobs" doesn't help your case at all.

I don't care about GitHub stars, nor Twitter follows. I do care about a tool which allows me to achieve what I need to achieve. And in the case of front-end development Vue definitely does this, in a simple to understand and performant way. Judging by its popularity many others agree.

And who gets to decide what is and isn't an "inferior solution"? Thankfully not people like you.
Yeah, well, but Apple can always reject apps that violate their ToS, or revoke keys used to work around that. So ultimately Facebook can't win.

Except if they force Apple to nuke all of their apps, which would put Apple in a difficult position. But perhaps Apple could sandbox apps, and prevent them from doing stuff that violates ToS.
And it could easily be less than 2 hours of effort per month to install/update the app and answer occasional questionnaires. But even if, outlandishly, a minimum wage violation, if they’re being paid under a contract, they’re ‘contractors’.

(And if they’re under any sort of confidentiality agreement or other conditions on their app usage, they fit under the Apple terms’ concepts of “Permitted Users” and “Internal Use” even better.)
As a Linux user I agree with GP that Linux is only as safe as it is because it's not a target. It's pretty clear that large tech companies cannot be trusted, I definitely wouldn't run a binary provided by Facebook on my machine. I am hesitant about running apps like Slack and Dropbox, and would prefer not to give them full access to my user account[0], but I need to use them so. Desktop container technologies are maturing nicely, so hopefully one day we'll have permission prompts where we can restrict what an app can access.

[0] Yes I understand I could run them as a different user but that's not very user friendly at the moment.

Really depends on how you are building. If you're building a decent sized project with Webpack and production mode (with minifier stuff), then it might take a few minutes. Dev mode, shouldn't take a ton of time.

It is often the case, and very unfortunate.

Promotions to different organizational levels in larger corps (with 20k employees or more, I would say) -- is like breaking through glass ceiling. You can see the other side, you can do the job on the other side -- but you cannot get through there...

I think a huge part of why we so strongly censure these people socially is that most of them skipped the justice system entirely. For every Cosby or Weinstein who does face the music, there are a thousand Louis C.K.s, who — even when they admit to masturbating in front of multiple women! — are never charged with anything.

I agree that the stigma around committing crimes is too strong and that we need to allow pathways to redemption. But people need to be brought to justice before they can be redeemed, and what we see now is a reaction to that mostly not happening.

This.

I use a different but similar analogy borrowing from DnD.

- E.g., Clojure needs intelligence (INT)

This holds even for syntax where homoiconicity requires just so much less "experience".
