>Utilitarianism doesn't change the fact that it would be immoral to randomly kill a bunch of people for questionable gain, in a pharmaceutical setting.

Actually loeg made the Utilitarianism argument 'well known downside[let sick people die]. The upside is we kill fewer humans' my disagreement was limited to the use of the word fewer.

>How many of those "willing participants" [are willing]

Good point. The best reasoning would be [for the test subjects] that in their current financial situation it makes sense to take this chance.. If this is immoral then we should be questioning every dangerous job out there. i don't know, maybe we should be.

I feel like a lot of animal testing is worthless; And i get the impression its done to prove to the wrong people(CEOs Shareholders media) that we value human life. The point here is that it might very well cost human life, and not a small amount at that.
I got a late '70s blue Singer 20U recently for parachute rigging. But I've become interested in sewing and repairing other things (like work bags) more recently. It's fun to learn. These old sewing machines are amazingly easy to repair and adjust. The manuals are wonderful, too!

It's my prized possession. It will definitely outlive me.
It's in Settings.
Tools have an upfront cost, but they pay for themselves down the line. The first time you start fixing things it might take longer, but as time goes on you get better.

You can learn so much by reading repair manuals & books, watching youtube videos, and being able to recognize patterns in other things you have repaired.

Doing this will save you tens of thousands of dollars over the years. Furnace, A/C, House appliances, Home repairs, Furnitures, Cars, computers, even clothes & shoes...

No one uses or needs ML for overfitting 4 variables. You can do that with regular statistics just fine. And how you interpret ML results is just as fraught with error as any statistical argument—just because the technique gives you some result doesn’t mean it’s explanatory, that is science 101.

There are definitely segments of society that have different expectations for people they categorise as "men" and "women" though. I certainly come across "you're a man, can you help me open this jar" (even though I'm physically weaker than a lot of the women I live with), and plenty of people thinking that because I'm a man that I won't be caring/empathetic.
The massive problem with this approach is that more and more the requirements we see are exactly where SPA's shine: real-time elements, rich UI and eventually PWA implementation when/if. I agree that the traditional SSR has served everyone well - but I don't think we need to be stubborn about what has worked vs. what can work.

World Trade Center 7 Report Puts 9/11 Conspiracy Theory to Rest
>I often wonder if it was always like this, or of it was created when the consumer middle class was created in the last hundred or so years.

Sumptuary laws are an interesting example - at various times in our history, people of certain social status were forbidden by law to wear certain garments or own certain items. Sometimes this was to prevent runaway consumption due to zero-sum status games, but often it was because the declining cost of luxury goods or the emergence of a nouveau riche undermined the status of the established elite.

I'd argue that the invention of fashion was a necessary response to the falling cost of clothing; when most people of a given social standing can afford equally high-quality clothing, fashion emerges as a kind of planned obsolescence.

The emergence of cultural capital amongst the aristocracy of the 17th century feels remarkably modern. During this period, the role of universities expanded from being practical training colleges for clergymen to a status symbol. The children of landowners could afford to spend their time cultivating "useless" knowledge, while the children of the nouveau riche merchant class needed to learn the family business. Young aristocrats would embark on what we might now describe as a gap year, travelling across Europe to gather knowledge of exotic cultures and collect souvenirs. It could be argued that modern science emerged largely as a byproduct of status signalling - many of the idle rich spent their days showing off expensive scientific apparatus and their access to the latest books and journals, inadvertently inventing modernity in the process.

HIRAN MINAR FACT AND HISTORY
We don't know which rates Visa/MC are actually raising yet, but probably not. It has a lot to do with how/what processors charge.

Along with lowering costs, Optblue let processors add a markup to Amex transactions. (Previously they couldn't. That meant no incentive for processors to suggest or push Amex acceptance, as they didn't make money on Amex transactions.)

Now they can, and those markups tend to be higher than for Visa/MC. In egregious cases, the processor simply continues charging the business the old Amex rate (~3.5%) and pockets the entire difference between 3.5% and the new lower rates.
Lithium is a mood stabilizer, and greatly predates modern psychiatric intervention. I believe that the earlier generations you’re thinking of are tricyclics and MAOI’s (Monoamine oxidase inhibitors). Both are still used, but are no longer the first pharmaceuticals of choice.
SPA = Single Page Application

Notice how that says "Application", not website. It amazes me how people want to make their WordPress site into an SPA simply because someone told them to do so or it was the next "hip" thing to do.

SPA have their place... migrating a desktop application to the web and making it a SPA makes perfect sense to me.
I just took my son to buy his first car on his own. I told my son that if we couldn’t make the numbers work for him, I would just let him take over payments on my car for the next year ($300/month) and I would by myself another car.

I guess because of the cheap car I was driving (It is about $15K brand new and I bought it used four years ago) and I showed up in just casual clothes, they thought I was struggling.

When they heard I was contemplating buying myself a car instead and I was looking at some of the higher end cars, they kept steering me to the lower cost cars. Not that I would have bought anything from there anyway. I don’t buy new cars.
Fixing household white goods where a failure could result in a bad load of laundry or burnt toast is very different from aviation where utmost care must be taken with regard to maintenance, overhauling and repairs.

Even in cars, you gotta figure, is the part critical? (brakes, steering) or non critical (wipers, seats, heating/ac, etc).

So true. Hourly billing is BY FAR the best way to get going. I’ve swapped to weekly contracts for a few contracts but only after an extended working relationship. Most folks won’t spring for that sort of payment, especially long term. Everyone understands and gets hourly billing.

Node modules doesn’t get deployed out from your local machine, it’s pulled in during the build.

Also, .NET and “easy to use” hasn’t happened in forever. Unless you’re counting the “Hello world” tutorials that are useless.

The .sln file within a .NET project ends up being pretty damn large, so the whole 60mb node module thing seems a bit ridiculous.
For what it's worth, it's almost never the case that the lack of proof of the identity of a news article author is what causes it to be fake news. More often, it's:

- a fact that has been distorted to be interpreted in a 180 degree way (Americans paying tariffs to the US Gov for buying Chinese goods = Trump saying "China is finally paying us!"), or

- a total untruth slipped in between valid concerns (like the fake Russian Black Lives Matter pages piggybacking off of civil rights abuses mentioned by the American Black Lives Matters campaigns), or just

- incitement of uncertainty in more or less solved problem domains (anti-vaxxers)

A Complete Introduction to Machine Learning
The answer to whether a single-page app is appropriate for a given project needs to consider product requirements, team structure and available resources.

And the users.
At least (s)he's realizing that (s)he has no idea. Most of the non-math/non-statistics (probably even some of the CS) people don't do that and just apply some ML-algorithm out of a tutorial on their data.
I wonder about this too. During all of my PE classes in elementary and high school a pushup didn't count unless your nose touched the ground and you came all the way back up. Pushups I see all over the place now, from tv shows to YouTube videos to folks in the gym are incredibly shallow, often only dipping down a few inches from the top position.

Just as pullups and chin-ups are different things, perhaps these shallow pushups should have a different name to distinguish them from "to the floor" pushups.
You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Did you try reading any of the papers we wrote? There are many analyses and multiple channels.
We had a very static product, and one of our devs decided to make more use of client-side rendering despite essentially being a set of unchanging forms. This quickly got out of hand, so we adopted a hybrid approach.

I built out another product, which was much more dynamic and made sense as a SPA. However, having been bitten by the forced SPA, I decided to do as much static rendering as feasible, and I think that has made things a lot easier to develop and less buggy.

Honestly, I agree that a SPA is usually a bad idea and prefer to have as much of the app be able static as possible since that simplifies things considerably. For example, slack could open a separate tab for settings (and perhaps chat history) and only have the chat parts as a SPA. It would make it slightly less fancy, but also probably much lighter on resources, faster to load, and easier to develop.

So odd how not even a few hours ago my wife went through my closet and made me throw away old clothes. I had this jacket I’ve worn over 10 years that to me still looked nice, but she insisted it looked worn. The jacket had sentimental value to just from all the places I wore it and the memories I had with it. This wasn’t the first time she made me part with an item dear to me. I had a Hollister t-shirt I wore as a teen - the same one the day we met. Some 18 years later the shirt was still in my closet, ripped and washed out, practically a rag but it had so much sentimental value that I thought about keeping it forever. Nope, she insisted it be gone. This article made me think about my shirt and my jacket. I know they are just items but I’m not sure if I’ll ever get over losing them.

Coming from similar background as author (various legacy web apps with all the challenges of learning now useless js frameworks) - I’m now have a different opinion:

SPA approach should be the default unless you have specific requirements to add html SSR (and even then google is pretty good at indexing public spa content too).

So, respectfully disagree.
Take this with a grain of salt, as I only recently came across it and haven't used it, but the Trailblazer framework looks like it has a good way of getting logic out of the views.

I'm with you. I'm not employed as a developer, and am certainly not a web dev, but a few years ago I (perhaps foolishly) used some spare time at work to create a tool to help the people who do the non-sitting-in-an-office work in our company get more accurate and relevant documentation for their day-to-day workflow that they could access via a cheap tablet connected to our WiFi.

It grew, as projects do, out of its original simple use case and now it needs to be usable in scenarios where network access won't be available for most of the work day, which means I need to rebuild it --in whatever time I can manage to devote to it, dev not being my primary or even secondary responsibility-- to deal with that and better handle the functionality we tacked on later.

After a review of my options, which unfortunately doesn't seem to include writing a native application (for reasons I still may be able to work around), I'm thinking that my simplest option is to just write a single page of JS that writes HTML to the DOM directly and works with data entirely locally, synchronizing it with a server API (.NET) when available. Basically, just a client application written in JS. No special frameworks, no complicated toolchains. Even that is a pain in the ass because the web world hasn't quite worked out how to store local data in a non-stupid way.
It‘s a traditional server side rendered application. But they use a custom implementation like turbolinks and instantclick to change the sites content without a full reload.
I’m sorry, that sucks. I do suspect, though, that the sleep deprivation is at the root of your focus challenges. I hope you’re able to find a solution!
Random allocation sounds like it could potentially hurt cache for some workloads, but still, this is easily the coolest idea I've seen so far this year.

It's beyond amazing we can still innovate on something like a memory allocator using hardware tricks that have been available for nearly 40 years. Leave no stone unturned!

The reason behind the rise of helicopter parenting
This has been an issue since before the internet. Growing up in the 80s my parents and grandparents would always be making comments like, "They don't make things like they used to!"

Well I, for one, am extremely glad they don't. I remember cars from the 1960s and 1970s, and they were ####ing terrible: unreliable, unsafe, slow, poor handling. Cars today are vastly better, although I think the accelerating trend for packing them full of complex electronics and gizmos may bite us in the arse. There is simply a lot more to go wrong in a car from 2019 than a car from 1979, even if individual parts and subsystems are much more reliable.

My uncle and my step-dad both have more realistic views. My uncle used to ride motorcycles back in the 60s and 70s and looked at me askance when I'd complained that the problem with doing long distances on a bike with chain rather than shaft drive is that you always needed to carry chain lube with you to oil the chain every 200 - 300 miles. His comment, about an old Norton he'd had, was that he needed to strip down and rebuild the engine every time he'd done 100 miles (he didn't keep it long; even back then this was considered awful).

Likewise, about 15 years ago I'd mentioned some relatively minor part needing replacement after 50,000 miles on my first car, and my step-dad pointed out that with a lot of the cars he'd driven in the 60s, after 50,000 miles you'd need a replacement engine, never mind the odd part.
Depends where and when "old days" means, but half the population not working was pretty rare. Farms had lots and lots of different kinds of labor, in and outside the house, in different seasons, but everybody worked hard. Victorian mining and mill towns had huge "putting-out" industries, sometimes bigger than the visible ones, organised work for cash but physically distributed. And (as you said) cooking & cleaning was massively more labor-intensive, as well as being much more important before antibiotics etc.
I don't get if this is supposed to be a scandal?

This sounds like a mild version of what we've built in the United States.
Riot is a good solution for simple SPAs if you don't like huge toolchains. It gives you web components and DOM binding and all that, all in a 15 KB package that does all the compilation in a few milliseconds on the client.

No configuration of babel or webpack or whatever to worry about, just host your app as static files that point at your API.

https://riot.js.org/
Most of the projects I've been on there is a web app & native apps. So the appeal of a single page app is you will write the exact API/auth for all the clients. Would it be tempting to not use the same auth flow/api etc if you don't use a single page app? Not sure.
Then if your worst paranoid nightmare does come true, you'll be rounded up with whatever random group is getting sent to the camps.

On a more realistic side you'll just identify yourself as technically savy. And be targeted on that.
This is a tangent, but is Github really still mostly ssr? It sure feels more spa-like these days, full with their own loading bar.
I have trouble understanding why this works. Mesh works by finding pairs of pages and merging them together physically but not virtually works, until a program makes alloc calls that end up allocating some memory in one of of those virtual pages and some of it in the other. What guarantees that those two allocations do not have overlap in physical memory?

Also, what happens when such a page with multiple virtual mappings get paged out and paged in again? Does it stay a merged page?

It appears your are not reading what I write. While it is a fact that the Pax Americana exists I’m not in favor of it and hope for its demise. I’m happy for American power to decline. I welcome it. But even if I was the caricature you seem to strongly wish I was, your points could be made much more effectively with a change in attitude. I enjoy witty sarcasm very much but yours lacks the requisite wit to be enjoyable. It’s also inappropriately aimed since I agree with what you believe. Not in how you say it though. I have the burden of knowing we are on the same side.
It's equally possible you're doing the same thing by forcing users to download a native app. It's kind of hard to talk about in the abstract. Some things work better in an app, for other things it adds nothing notable.
> Developing SPAs is easier than server-render applications.

Not sure about "easier". I'm a backend person so take this with a grain of salt but, to me, nothing on the web is easier than doing everything server side. All of your code can be in one language (plus a template) and the same build.

Consider what it takes to make a change in each model. In an SPA with one of the frameworks mentioned, it requires several changes, across directories and languages in both the front and back-end, and usually two different build chains.

I don't think there is much of a hassle to implement this. I can only imagine a handful of lines necessary to handle this. Decide which normalization form, if any, you are going to use and then do the normalization in one place on the backend.

And the benefit for the user to be able to use whatever characters in whatever language they are used to is immensely valuable for them. ASCII is extremely limiting and anglocentric. English is universal for people who communicate internationally, but imagine the amount of people who live their lives locally and are only used to writing in their own language. Requiring ASCII of them is unreasonable and one might be excluding a lot of people from using your system.
