On HTTP/2, Google says [1]:

Lucidcharts may have an inadequate backend, but it wasn't a problem until they moved to HTTP/2, so those statements weren't true for them. For anyone else rolling out HTTP/2, that is worth bearing in mind.

It really doesn't matter if it's the final test or not.

Your QA (or dev, or whatever) group has a number of test cases to verify. They verify the ones that they can, and record failures against the ones that they couldn't not. Sometimes in hardware testing, a failed test results in destruction of the hardware and/or peripheral damage to the test environment.

Around 50% of the US working population earns $30,000 or less a year. Good luck saving 10k or 15k a year at that income level.

Tangentially, at the typically suggested 4% yearly withdrawal level you'd need more like $1.5 million to retire at the ~$60k median income level.

Also sort of unrelated I thinks it's interesting that about 50% of people can earn under $30k, but median income is still twice that.
China has no IP-protection because they copy and go. As soon as they would be innovators, they would adopt it.

Right now, they have a lot of luck that they are> 1 billion people and stealing everything they can without punishment.

IP-protection would happen for Chinese firms, just not outsiders. Don't change my words.

"This" protection = global protection. China just has "Chinese" protection. It's not in laid out in rules with them, but it means in 99% of the cases that they are an advantage for Chinese firms.

Ps. Blocking the market is an extreme form of IP-protection, it's even just stealing and adjusting the rules ( required Chinese partnerships). They adapted in a very bad way, they also get previous generation tech because firms don't trust it

Disguise Driven Testing: Jest Mocks in Depth – Part 2
Obviously the basic gist of this isn't a new thing, as said in other comments, Americans (and likely many other country inhabitants) have considered themselves temporarily poor/embarassed millionaires/whatever for decades/centuries.

But part of me wonders whether social media and the internet may have pushed the effect even further. Rich people are seriously overrepresented online, and the rise in social media influencers may make people feel like that's the norm for society nowadays, that everyone has the coolest tech, the most up to date fashion, the fanciest house/apartment, a huge online following and a picture perfect lifestyle. Hell, I even remember articles saying how many kids saw Twitch streaming/creating YouTube videos being their most likely career choice.

Just feels like social media and the internet makes you think that everyone is raking in it and living a dream lifestyle, and that logically you should be destined for the same thing.

> Then there is mum and dad: even if they don’t become millionaires, millennials will one day inherit from their parents, and that may help redress their relative poverty.

Boomers (in general) have as little saved and are in as much debt as their kids. Mcmansions, healthcare, and luxury cars aren't cheap. I (gen Y) am not counting on any Social Security or inheritance.
This is very strange though, is there any confirmation of this?

Basically, most other manufacturers like Opel, Audi, Mercedes, Hyundai, VW, Volvo, Ford, etc. has had for several years the feature to detect speed limit from computer vision recognizing the road signs. And it works reliably, as is pointed out in your link.

How can Tesla be a leader in using computer vision for cars, but not be able to read the road signs?

It may be comforting to realize that when Japan entered World War 2, only 73 years had elapsed since the transition from a feudal system into a constitutional democracy. There were still people old enough to remember the old system. It's 78 years since 1941.
I never understood the "housing here is expensive so I'm not rich" argument. $500 only gets you a small hotel room at the Ritz-Carlton; that doesn't mean that $500 isn't a lot of money. It just means you elected to pay a lot for something other people get for less.

Because the more people do this the more the economy tanks. The only reason why capital accumulation works is because most people don't do it.

Or more simply, if the economy grows at 2% any investment that grows faster than that will crash.
One thing you may be missing is that the `Result::Err` in your return type must implement `From` for the `Result::Err` type where you're using the `?` operator. That's already covered if those `Err` types are identical (`From<T> for T`), otherwise you need to implement the conversion.

impl From<QuestionError> for ReturnError {
fn from(error: QuestionError) -> ReturnError {
// TODO
unimplemented!()
}
}

It seems odd to pin the blame on HTTP/2, no? Nobody made the intentional decision to lean on the browser's artificial connection limit. It sounds like nobody also made the intentional decision to make lots of XHRs on page load, or configure the load balancer to work the way that it's working, etc. Had you been using HTTP/2 all along and made a change to your load balancer (that resulted in its current behavior), your blog post would likely not have blamed HTTP/2 but rather haproxy/ELB/etc.

As an African, I think everything laid down in this article is applicable to any job. The main problem here imho is the economic system. Africa cannot capitalism like its Europe or Latin America. Private firms and investment will not solve our problems, this has been demonstrated for more than a century now. We just get predated over our natural resources. We don't have other countries to sack or attract a lot of qualified work from other countries. Nobody invests in Africa and if they do, intermediaries and corrupt governments steal most of it to live lavishly. And most of the highly qualified Africans just run away to have a decent living somewhere else. I feel very sad about my continent, the cradle of humanity :(

No. VC is about numbers, getting into as many deals as possible because a very small number return enough to pay for the fund. 99% of deals are expected to fail. In-depth due diligence costs too and would take away money that could be better spent on just another deal.

Dear AI startups: Your ML models are dying quietly
Totally. Not every farmer will let you, but I definitely had the opportunity. (My farmer gave me the choice between three animals.)

I think the 'bashing it with a rock' is sort of the thing I'm trying to avoid. My farmer brings a USDA butcher to his site to kill the animal (the kills are done away from the pasture space). The offal is removed there. If you want the tongue, heart, liver, etc. you show up on slaughter day and cart them away.

The carcass was then taken to a local butcher shop, where it was processed into steaks, ground beef, roasts, etc. at my direction -- how thick did you want steaks, how big did you want roasts, etc.

Being involved in this way is surprisingly intimate -- seeing the animal, being on the farm the day of it's slaughter (though I did not witness the slaughter), and working with the butcher to define how it will be broken down taught me so much more about how my food is prepared than anything you'd get from the grocery store.

> more characters typed does not necessarily directly result in more bugs, as far as I know

Most of the discussions I could find on the topic before writing that post suggested that the error rate per thousand lines of code is surprisingly constant across languages, which suggests that more characters typed does result in more bugs. I learned that from the internet though, so take it with a grain of salt!

It's true that `bind:value={foo}` offers another way to change the value of `foo` besides `foo += 1`, since at that point you're explicitly opting in to two-way binding. If you prefer, you certainly can do the `on:change={handler}` thing instead, but as I argue in the post I think that's less effective at capturing the intent of your code (and gives bugs more places to hide). This is definitely a subjective area though.
I wish someone will ask what gaps remain for full self driving? It seems like Elon is saying that it just a data collection issue at this point.
They are quitting the B2C e-commerce market, not the B2B market. B2C is an area where China is in many cases more advanced than the US, especially when it comes to mobile apps. US is more web app centric and China is more mobile app centric. China has really good apps like WeChat for which there doesn't exist an equivalent in the US.

Also it does look like Amazon in general is putting more resources into it's higher margin businesses (eg AWS and Echo) than e-commerce.

Misses they key question: What sliver of the overall millennial population is that, compared to the 53%?
A shrinking population can be better than a growing population. Currently, we're experience a drop in material quality of life, due to limited resources, limited land, cities not having enough space for people, etc. A shrinking population can solve a lot of problems at once. Also, it's not particularly kind to expect future generations to carry all the burdens we've created.
We know that 3SAT is NP-complete. That is, you can use a solution of 3SAT to solve any NP problem with only a polynomial slowdown.

I mean, it's purely rationale to think you'll accumulate a million dollars of assets at some point in your lifetime, but that isn't rich - a large portion of your wealth will be locked into sustaining your living situation. Up here in Vancouver almost everyone (including blue collar peeps) who purchased a home in the 60s or 70s is a multimillionaire, but if they want to continue residing in Vancouver that money is essentially unavailable to them.

I'll clarify a bit, being a millionaire in no way implies that you're rich, inflation is a thing and the vast majority of millennials will be poor.

I admire Rich Harris' work as well. 4 years ago I was picking my first SPA framework. Narrowed it down to Ractive and Vue. Picked ractive, it had a beautiful documentation and tutorial. Still have an app in production based on ractive.
But author abandoned it. Then vue 2 took off. I didn't have a choice but switch. Recently I started playing with Svelte/Sapper again. I like it a bit better than vue for some reason and was looking to use it in the next project of mine. So svelte 3 comes at right time for me.

The author is a brilliant developer, but he should narrow his focus on Sapper/Svelte now, beside which he has many other projects (rollup, etc...)

A lot of the Rust developers I've spoken with don't really consider using unwrap everywhere the way that Go programmers use "if err != nil" to be proper error handling. Most of them consider it an ugly hack to be used when playing around or testing something.

The value that most people see in Rust's error types is in error transformation and propagation, which let you do things like correctly handling edge cases when using closures without cluttering up the logic of the success case.

If you are going to compare unwrap/expect to "if err != nil" -- Rust's advantage is that it forces you to at least pretend to handle the error, while Go will happily keep chugging along even if you never inspect err.
I don't think its mean spirited.

"Dive bars" have always been popular.

A friend of mine in college opened a dive bar, which quickly became very very popular. This was the type of place where you could smell the ammonia from the urinal when you walked in the door. Spending more than an hour in there, and you left smelling like cigarette smoke and stale beer.

When opening his 2nd bar, he made the rookie mistake of "trying to finally do it right". His new bar was walking distance from the original, and had a beautiful wood bar, leather chairs, fancy plate glass windows with frosted lettering, etc (top notch plumbing too).

His 2nd bar never caught on and he eventually had to close.

The importance of "dive's" is that everyone feels comfortable. You feel you can do no wrong. Spill your beer...so what. Whereas if the place it too fancy, everyone becomes too self-aware.

These types of places like BdB aren't about customers "looking down" on the place, its about being in a place thats comfortable and where the average joe doesn't feel looked down upon.

> I will not support tax dollars going to bail out people who paid upwards of 50k for worthless degrees.

For many for profit college loans or predatory liberal arts colleges, there is a level where this seems like the tax payer paying the banks; otherwise they would have to write the money off as a loss.
I imagine law firms could experience something similar when contracting for custom software development.
>The best parts of rust's error handling are the try!() macro (aka `?`),

Go's way of providing try!() macro is less magical but almost as useful.[1]

> From/Into error types allow the compiler to wrap types or convert between error types

error is an interface in Go which can be easily cast/checked for the underlying type.

> Go's error handling is pretty primitive

I wouldn't call it primitive, I would call it simple. I like the comparison i read on a blog on HN.

Rust is the 'new' C++ and Go is the new C

I wonder if it also has to do with the possibility that the students would just go to the library, and not go to class at all; that there isn't any kind of "punishment" for doing that instead of learning?

By "punishment" I mean everything from truancy enforcement to "societal disapproval"; it may be that in some cultures this isn't looked down upon?

That's all just a WAG, though...
This article is about Americans, not Californians or even more specifically Bay Area tech employees.
I'm guessing you are a programmer of some sort though, and therefore easily in the top 10% of incomes, so I don't think you can conclude that "it is very likely that a huge number of millenials will be millionaires" from your experience. (Assuming "huge" number means more than 1/5th, and we are talking 2019 dollars)
I believe you may be not thinking outside your bubble at the rest of the world. You're actually looking at one single vocation in one single area at one single point in time and assuming that therefore all millenials should have no trouble saving that up, totally ignoring that not even most tech sector workers earn that, and the vast vast majority of millenials are not tech workers?
There's another one of these coming about the software specifically.
Let's not let HN become a political shit hole like Reddit please
There have been numerous other surveys throughout the years including by Gallup [1] that generally all find similar results. The Gallup poll, though, was less precise and simply asked if people expected to become "rich." A directly related little datum that shows up in numerous polls is that approximately 90% of Americans think they have average or above intelligence. Average in this case of course is going to be interpreted as median.

I don't necessarily think it's arrogance so much as delusion. For instance a person paying tens of thousands of dollars for a degree of minimal utility obviously knows that this is a very bad decision deep down, but it's something they want to do - or perhaps they feel like they could not cut it in something like a STEM field. So the rationalizing kicks in. Maybe they'll become a lawyer, an author, or a speaker. They'll make millions! It'll be great! Of course it's just cognitive dissonance and self delusion.

Author here.

Let me clarify a couple things I've seen in a lot of the comments.

First of all, we do load balance by request, not connections and we do not use sticky sessions.

Secondly, we are aware that our application has underlying problems with large numbers of concurrent requests, which was exposed by using HTTP/2 and we are working on fixing them. The point of the post is not "HTTP/2 sucks because it broke our app". It is "moving to HTTP/2 isn't necessarily as easy as just flipping switch".
It's a bit late for that.
