Hot Reload in the year 2019 is still a hard problem,although DCEVM seems to be solving it for now.

All the problems the author talks about were there in 2007 and are still there today. I bailed after the countless breaking updates to Scala and SBT. the level of productivity with a Lisp and REPL driven development is unmatched.

I just popped open an old Scala/Java source for doing a little maintenance after using Clojure for the last few years. There are entire files that could be replaced with a single function. Dozens of classes are complete unnecessary complexity only due to the type system forcing type wizardry. The SBT file I took one look and closed it immediately.

Clojure + Spec / Plumatic Schema and REPL driven development backed by tests is so good I have trouble imagining how it could get better.
I wasn't going to dive into far right conspiracy theories.
SO isntead let's keep it simple: Take all the live footage and public statements by Donald Trump during his presidency - from rallies, in front of the white house, or even the rare press events - and have his claims analyzed by fact checkers. I'm not sure if he'd make it even remotely to a 50% truth-score. Countless obvious, easily disprovable lies on a daily basis.

That's what I meant by "benefitting the most". You might dismiss it as the left-leaning media you mentioned, but this should be a good starting point to keep track of Trump's false claims: https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claim...
Yes, I was thinking about lock ups.
My parents own a small vineyard near bordeaux. We don't use weedkiller so there is grass all over (see http://montjon.com/). But no grass or brown grass doesn't necessarily mean that the owner uses a lot weed killer or insecticides, there are other ways to remove the grass mechanically. e.g. this type of tools https://youtu.be/gmaIugbRPDI?t=227

The video is convincing, but in practice it takes a lot of time and breaks many roots, so it's not ideal.
This is not a great article.

First, if you mention that America has an overseas empire, you probably need to let us know exactly what the empire contains. Maps of European imperialism exist and help us understand what an "overseas empire" actually looks like. In the article, aside from the Philippines, there is no mention of any other largely populated countries. We have no idea of the scale of the "American Overseas Empire" at all.

Second, if you're trying to say that the American Empire is larger than it's colonization, it's be nice to let us know, again with a map, the sphere of influence under American rule. Telling us that America has many military bases is a poor substitute.

Finally, the author is picking through straw with his examples of Jefferson and FDR.

America is an empire. It's influence has been global since the turn of last century. The extent of American influence is seen everywhere. There are many books and articles on America's influence on the world that fairly cover both sides of history.

The reason why colonization is not often talked about is because it's an outdated and inefficient practice that America just didn't care much about. It's why the Europeans deprecated it - ruling a country in order to benefit from it's resources is inefficient because you actually have to govern it and govern it pretty well for you to have any long term benefits. There's much easier and more direct ways for you to gain benefits from others, and believe it or not, most of them are mutually beneficial to both parties.
I'm... not sure you'd need a lot of network effects? I mean, you need a critical mass of drivers and riders, but they can be all in a small area and you can still provide a service. I mean, for the occasional user, sure, brand recognition matters; If I'm going from a strange airport to a hotel, I'm probably going to use the brand i know.

But usually? I switch from uber to lyft on my daily commute based on saving a few bucks almost every day. (right now, Lyft has some scheme where you can buy a 30-pack of $15 off coupons for $300. But they're used every time you ride lyft, so if you want to go somewhere for less than $15, you use Uber)

I mean, 90+% of my rides are areas I ride in a lot, where it would be worth my time to put a fair bit of effort into discovery.

I think that on the driver side, there's a lot of drivers with very strong locational preferences, too; If you are in SF and try to get a ride to San Jose, my experience is that 3 out of 4 uber drivers will kick you out of the car when they find out, so I think you might be able to recruit drivers that way, too.
Hmm I just tried on an iPhone 8+ googling $lyft on safari and nothing I got back in the top results are stock related. Then I tried on my home desktop with DDG with FireFox and had similar results. Perhaps the behavior is tied to the “google bubble”?
Web components will never take off because they are HTML-first and rely on DOM apis.

The reason React is so popular and the reason it dethroned Angular, Backbone, etc. is because it is JavaScript-first. In other words, it gives you the power of a proper programming language to build UIs.
Longs tend to own things. Shorts tend to destroy value to acquire it cheap. they don't currently hold it, they're seeking profit by securing it under value. Longs seek to profit from its existence and success.

I don't see these as fully symmetric. I see them as oppositional, and indeed a long will do the things which improve their position. But since thats constructive not destructive, there appears to me to be a useful distinction.

What did I get wrong here?
I feel like this is a bit of a strawman. If there's a "standard" short story, it's that the demand for high end Model 3s is too low, and the company can't profitably be run on the margins of SR/SR+ or even MR alone.

I'm not sure I believe it (Sandy Munro for instance seems pretty optimistic that a competent manufacturer could profitably make the $35k M3), but misrepresenting the argument does nobody any favors.

Funny thing is, that sounds a lot like a certain Air France flight. Besides the airspeed probe, though, since it was inoperative. (And the AOA sensors agreed) But in that situation, pushing the nose down would have been the correct decision.
I really appreciate this perspective:

"While human sexuality is a delicate subject, I deeply believe it should be discussed (vide my Dating for Nerds series) rather than shunned as a taboo topic. Some discussion about ethics and implications of using such data were covered in What I learned from building an AI that generates porn by David Mack."

Until it becomes socially acceptable to talk openly about, we need more people going out on a limb and being open in this way.
I have traveled extensively in Indonesia, and have always preferred Go-Jek over Grab, and I have a feeling I share the same with the number of drivers and riders, at least in Medan, Jakarta, Bandung, Yogyakarta, and most of Java.

I also don't think being an Indonesian company has challenged Go-Jek in any way. Traveloka, Tiket.com, and Go-Jek are one of the most prominent businesses in Indonesia, and they all look like well-oiled machines.
Search is better than category browsing... you can spearfish instead of cast a net. If you had typed “hot plate” into search, you would have avoided your entire frustration... you already knew what you wanted.

Amazons web site is a mess for sure, but finding a specific product is not one of those problems. The search is quite good...

>>When reasoning doesn't line up with facts, there are usually flaws in the logic.

I don't think there's an opposition of facts and logic here. Grab was founded in 2012 (https://www.grab.com/sg/about/), Ola in 2011 (https://www.olacabs.com/about.html), and GoJek in 2010 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go-Jek). All of these were entrenched players in their respective markets when Uber decided to put up a fight. Uber gave the Grab and Ola's VCs no option but to double down, if they were to save their existing investments. In this race to bottom, it was Uber who blinked first. Losing SE Asia was not an existential threat to Uber, but definitely for Grab. Media likes to talk winners and losers, but Uber did end up taking 27.5% stake in Grab just to leave the market (https://techcrunch.com/2018/04/24/grab-uber-deal-southeast-a...). However, their fight in India with Ola continues. But to my initial argument - back in 2010-2012, we thought that the network effect of social networks (like Facebook) extended to ride-sharing services too creating high barriers to entry. We know now that isn't the case. Imagine how a VC would react today to a startup founder pitching a ride-sharing idea in a market where Uber/Lyft are already entrenched, given what we have learned from Lyft IPO and Uber's SEC filing. My argument may seem counterintuitive here, but I believe that the Uber/Lyft's revealed financials is what may ultimately save them. They have successfully managed to make the ride-sharing market unattractive (at least for 10x return seeking VCs).
Scala brings functional programming to the JVM.

Elixir brings style to Erlang/OTP.

Comparing to Ruby is apples to oranges because Ruby's concurrency and operational foundation is weak. The better comparison is Erlang/OTP vs JVM, where JVM gets the edge on optimized performance, and Erlang/OTP gets the edge on concurrency & tooling. The appeal for Scala folk would be if you don't care about the JVM compatibility or raw performance, and want an opinionated ecosystem built from the ground up around the actor model.
if the thumbnails are the limit, I agree. If you combine what was posted a few weeks back in unreal-faces, and this, don't you wind up in an interesting place (maybe they had higher computational cost or a more limited palette of outcomes)

If this was intruded background in a movie at HQ, I'm not sure I could always tell the difference although its equally possible the renders would be unsustainable under motion, not enough real-world change to look "real" and it re-enters uncanny valley
> (Sandy Munro for instance seems pretty optimistic that a competent manufacturer could profitably make the $35k M3)

Its pretty clear what Sandy Munro is doing however. He's trying to sell his consulting services to Tesla. His whole shtick is pointing out issues with their design and trying to demonstrate that he knows how to save them lots of money.

It doesn't seem like Elon is biting however. Munro's video was about unnecessary welds, and how various shapes could have been made more cheaply. Only IF Tesla implements those changes (and probably the other changes Munro was thinking about) could they save money.

Not that I don't trust the guy, but you gotta keep in mind what pays Munro's bills. He's selling his expertise.

Did the blog get hacked (again?) in between this being posted and now? It has what looks like password hashes and `uname -a` from every(?) server in their infrastructure.

This is about as bad as IR can get: you realize you got hacked, you re-build your entire infrastructure and publicly say it's fixed, and then you get popped again...

Controlled environment? well-maintained roads? this doesn't sound like any city I've spent much time in.

I'm thinking like 101 seems reasonably straightforward, modulo the occasional construction, but once you get into san Francisco, there's a lot of dodging pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, shopping carts, stopped delivery vehicles, etc... It doesn't look nearly as controlled, to my eyes, as 101 does further out.
Just because we don’t usually get prosecuted for something doesn’t make it legal.
Bummer, was hoping to see a mention of Studio Ghibli. Would be great to finally have a streaming option for those. They're the last movies that I still bother with physical copies for.
Reminds me of a story I saw (I think on reddit) where someone had booked a cab for a 5am trip to the airport, and after it didn't show up after 30 minutes they just called an uber. They hadn't taken a cab since.

I know it can be an issue on the driver side in terms of job security, but poor customer service and behaviour is weeded out much better on ridesharing apps due to how their rating and tracking systems work.
And, there is Stencil JS (https://stenciljs.com/) which in my opinion offers a neat API to create Web Components.
Those are great criteria. But I would add that it should be P2P, with anonymized addresses. Such as Tox or Ring, where users run Tor onion services.

And if there must be central servers, they should also have anonymized addresses, and the owners and admins should be anonymous. Adversaries can't coerce people, if they can't identify or locate them. Even so, having central servers is a weakness to be avoided.

Just as with RIM:

> RIM, unlike rivals Nokia and Apple, operates its own network through secure servers located in Canada and other countries such as Britain.

Those were not secure servers. Because RIM was coerced into compromising them.
We really need to push back against centralization on a small number of providers. As we have seen with previous Cloudflare issues and the big Dyn incident, a single issue can basically make the internet unusable.
Bingo.

A lot of "journalists" are actually just parrots, depending on access to have "exclusive" things to say.
In case the meaning isn't clear: as a hiring manager, if I'm going to expend money paying lawyers to sponsor your visa, I want to make sure you're worth it. A 3-yr Sr Engineer mostly doesn't exist. This means that: (a) you are lying, or (b) you have title inflation because your current company has no idea what real talent looks like.

In this situation, I'm not even going to interview you. If you want to pass the first cut, I recommend thinking more strategically about how you're presenting yourself. Then you can get through the interview process and on to the visa discussion.

Or I could be wrong, and you could be an absolute frickin' genius who made Senior in 3. But the odds say no.
And that works in Google's favor currently, since they are small player entering the PaaS market, and they need to compete with AWS on price, because their offering is less mature and they don't have counterparts to many of AWS services. Making migration easier is a reasonable strategy for them.
Ubers problem is that it needs to compete locally: https://thinkgrowth.org/uber-is-going-to-0-and-benchmark-kno... . A taxi company does not need to challenge Uber globally to compete with it in any given city - because most taxi rides are from local population. This is different from AirBnB - where the customers need something that can be trusted globally.

The workflow/orchestrator pattern is key to keeping services decoupled and simplifying your code. I'm working on a Typescript library to encapsulate all the technical detail in https://github.com/node-ts/bus/tree/master/packages/bus-work... so that you only worry about message inputs and outputs keeping it easy to see the logical flows of your system.

It's Inspired from the EIP pattern (https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messa...) and frameworks from other languages that have had this type of thing for years.

The author also hints about an alternative, commonly known as "routing slips" (https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/patterns/messa...), where the "next step" is loaded into the message header and gets passed down to the next handler as part of a broader process. This removes the need for a centralised orchestrator, but has a huge downside of being tough to handle failure paths, compensating logic or switching logic.
in your opinion what should the US/Canadian governments do about natives? Why not just do nothing, abandon all special policy toward native peoples?

No, it wasn't. Thanks for mentioning; I updated my comment.
Deprecation is a good way of putting it. I've always said that modern colonialism is in tech.

If a top telco or a power plant relies on Google, then they are effectively colonized by Google. If some human traffickers rely on PayPal and Salesforce, they delegate control and data to those companies. This is also the main appeal of crypto, block chain, and open source; decentralization gives back control.

The US plays this game well, but again, it looks inside. Countries like China and Germany are doing best at extending their influence outside the country.
Orwell wrote plenty of non-fiction on the subject of censorship, as well. This was supposed to be a preface to the "Animal Farm", but I think it makes excellent reading on its own, and its generic points are even more salient today than they were back when it was written:

https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel...

"If publishers and editors exert themselves to keep certain topics out of print, it is not because they are frightened of prosecution but because they are frightened of public opinion. In this country intellectual cowardice is the worst enemy a writer or journalist has to face, and that fact does not seem to me to have had the discussion it deserves."

"At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that or the other, but it is ‘not done’ to say it, just as in mid-Victorian times it was ‘not done’ to mention trousers in the presence of a lady. Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the highbrow periodicals. ... Both publicly and privately you were warned that it was ‘not done’. What you said might possibly be true, but it was ‘inopportune’ and played into the hands of this or that reactionary interest."

"... there is now a widespread tendency to argue that one can only defend democracy by totalitarian methods. If one loves democracy, the argument runs, one must crush its enemies by no matter what means. And who are its enemies? It always appears that they are not only those who attack it openly and consciously, but those who ‘objectively’ endanger it by spreading mistaken doctrines. In other words, defending democracy involves destroying all independence of thought."

"These people don’t see that if you encourage totalitarian methods, the time may come when they will be used against you instead of for you. Make a habit of imprisoning Fascists without trial, and perhaps the process won’t stop at Fascists."

(Ironically, the preface itself was soft-censored in the original publication of "Animal Farm", and it took 25 more years for it to see print.)

The pedantic view is that Tesla did offer the $35k M3 for awhile and while they haven't delivered any yet they will. (It looks like the ones they will deliver will have the upgraded interior and a software locked battery).

Further more, if you know that magic words, you can still order one though it won't show upon their web site. So according to the letter of the law they will have offered, sold and delivered some M3's for $35k. They never undertook to offer this product/price combo indefinitely.

Though, as a prospective buyer it did seem pretty obvious that the M3 extended range version was a better deal. And apparently so did buyers in the ratio of 6:1.

I wouldn't be surprised if this convulsion in strategy is the result of Congress recently saying they would try to reinstate the subsidy for GM and Tesla electric vehicles. This might sound good, and would be good in the medium term, but think of how many buyers will now be putting their wallets away waiting for this subsidy that might never come. If Tesla saw orders dropping off a cliff on that news they would have to do something drastic.
Can you please point me to some evidence of how bad DOM manipulation actually is ? Its worked just fine for all my professional use-cases so far. Enlighten me!
its not productive conversation with any american, as you are all brainwashed anyways by your corrupt government and media. As far as I'm concerned any american is complicit in war crimes.
Except the source has a very large incentive to besmirch Google and their business model, because Google is the very company that destroyed their business. Therefore, I'd take anything in this attack piece with a grain of salt, they are far from being the authoritative source on the subject.

US has regressed to developing nation status, MIT economist warns (2017)
I'll admit that last question was poorly related to this situation. The idea that the US claims jurisdiction to enforce laws against vaugly defined actions like this conspiracy law on an Australian citizen for a violation that took place in Sweden with very little evidence by extraditing from the UK seems to indicate all citizens of any nation can be governed by US laws and will be labeled as conspirators if the US government is pissed enought.

Is it different if China extradites an Italian citizen from Thailand for conspiring against them by, while in South Africa, assisting a Chinese citizen, who's located in Australia, participate in circumventing Chinese censorship technology by helping root a device?
"To render the diagram" is a pretty good reason.
>How do you feel that web components are heavy? They're a pretty small set of low level APIs, and being native they have no download cost.

This is a weird misnomer to me. Stuff that's provided by the browser is not magically faster or better. Further, native browser functionality can slow down applications just by existing, like for example Mutation Events (which were removed in favor of Mutation Observers.)

In that sense I really dislike what functionality is being loaded onto HTML elements, effectively the lowest level primitive of web apps.

>They're also pretty unopinionated. They only let you define an HTML element and hook it's lifecycle.

In itself, there's not a whole lot wrong with this... But as fate would have it, the idea that HTML elements themselves should be components is an opinion hotly debated. In Angular 2, you have both directives, AND components that are selected from attributes. In React, the component tree is a fully separate entity from the DOM tree, and components don't even appear in the DOM.

To me these are not small details that can be reconciled. Part of what makes React ergonomically nice is that it can generate a nice, clean DOM free of component cruft and scoped CSS or whatever.

>And much better performance and bundle sizes.

Modern JS app performance is just not that simple. We've got server side rendering with hydration, scheduling rendering asynchronously for better responsiveness, bundle splitting, etc. Simply saying "WebComponents are better because they're faster" means little to me. Is my app bottlenecking on React? Often it's really not.

And if React's ~100kb is really killing you, there's plenty of libraries that implement just the basics in much less. Preact is quite good.
