It was six years ago. Try again, maybe? Clojure is slowly but steadily growing. The world is never "ready." It was never ready for Clojure, OCaml, for Smalltalk, for Haskell, for Purescript, for Elm, for Erlang, for Elixir - yet teams are using them, there are conferences all around the world, libs are being written, podcasts recorded. There are jobs. I started writing Clojurescript 3 years ago, and since then I can't find a better alternative for myself - a language that is well suited to build awesome things and makes me happy. I have changed 3 different jobs since then and never settled for anything but Clojure. Never had a problem with finding a job.
nitpick, but I think "existence proof" is the opposite of what you meant (that Mercurial is a living proof that things can be better):

> a constructive proof is a method of proof that demonstrates the existence of a mathematical object by creating [...] the object.

> This is in contrast to [an existence proof], which proves the existence of a particular kind of object without providing an example.

Hubert Horan has done an amazing teardown with his series, "Can Uber Ever Deliver?" But you don't need to be a transportation logistics expert (as he is) to see that there are no national or even regional cab companies. The reason is that, after a certain size, the business simply doesn't scale.
It's refreshing to hear that! From my experience, it's not a widespread opinion but it is starting to crop up.

Glad I’m not alone, KDE’s design system (or lack of such) has always been like nails on a chalkboard for me. GNOME takes it a bit too far in the other direction but is more tolerable (especially with a compact theme). XFCE is probably my favorite and because it strikes a great balance between design, readability, and info density.

The reason there isn't a national chain is because municipal laws fragment the market. You can typically schedule a cab for pickup in rural America (I've done it before), it is just expensive because you're also paying for a person's time to drive out there and back.
That's how modern web standards are done. If people like it, other browsers will adopt it and then the standard will too. If people don't, they won't. But every browser runs nonstandard features as part of experiments to implement new things.

One way of looking at it is that the standardization process is "propose and implement whatever you want, but it doesn't become a standard until another browser implements it and consensus is achieved".

This is a direct response to the problems of the W3Cs old way of defining large, pie in the sky, standards without any implementation, and then only much later realizing that they were bad.
What does he propose I do if two questions map to the same slug or if - beware - someone wants to edit their question?
My biggest issue with that argument though is what constitutes "good" is subjective. For me a good commit history is one that faithfully chronicles what happened.

With this in mind, acceptable curation of the history for me is squashing or separating commits and neither of these require rebase. But I wouldn't object if a colleague chose to use rebase to accomplish this.

I would, however, object to reordering commits or rebasing since this alters the chronicle.

Which I guess leaves me with my opinion on rebase:

You can, but you don't need to. If you are going to, be sure you understand what you are doing and don't alter the chronicle.
I went from a software dev role at a B2B SaaS company to a consulting role about a year and a half ago. It has been eye opening to say the least.

One of my first projects was helping a Fortune 500 company run analytics on AWS with data sourced from their Db2 mainframe, which had been in production for multiple decades. Most clients are very uncomfortable with Linux, and Microsoft stack is definitely the default. IT usually keeps the corporate network and individual workstations under VERY strict control, so getting new tech onboarded or new processes implemented can be a multi-week territorial battle.

It truly is a different world at most places.

ETA: I forgot to mention that things at FAANG companies may not be as different as you think. I am currently working with a business team at one which is using a few tools based entirely on Excel and VBA.

I disagree with the adjective “largely.” Vegans would not want anything to “work out for the cow” if butter from cow’s milk is the product that someone wants. It’s completely and absolutely untenable as long as the butter is a product of/from an animal.

If it’s vegetable fat based butter or genetically modified yeast making milk from which butter can be made, that’s not an issue.
That is terrible advice.

1. Numeric based Primary Key Lookups are some of the fastest operations on modern databases.
2. "Slugs", are a set of strings, which occupy more memory, space, now you have to come up with some way to make them unique. If you are building a CMS, sure, SEO is important. If you are building a line of business application, no.
3. Just checked, Google and Facebook expose numeric based identifiers. My Facebook Business ID is numeric, my Google Analytics ID is numeric with a prefix on it.
4. There are plenty of libraries out there that will take a numeric value, convert it to a small alphanumeric value with a check digit.
5. No end user cares about URLs (except for SEO). Your business user is not going to navigate your application by going to myapp/settings, they are going to click on the gear icon.
Have you looked into a Harmony remote?

Do you have others which you would recommend in this vein?

oh you were worried about the traders and hopeful Uber employees that bet half a decade of their life on a good share price HA HAHAHA. Should really start looking at this from the underwriter and issuer perspective to understand the success story here. Retail buys ticker symbols that have been marketed to them. Everyone else dumps. Company made a ton of money and can do whatever it wants with it, they gain nothing from secondary market trading today. VCs, founders and employees can't sell for another 60-90 days, but founders can give themselves big bonuses (and employees too but I mean.. what world are you living in)

I understand your point that is a trade-off. I think a lot of my issue with google is that the trade off is not presented in a clear way.

You make it sound like a clear and simple transaction: I give Google my location, they give me relevant information based on that information. They add that location data to their model.

In my experience it is not presented as a transaction. I have no idea what information Google is taking/inferring about me.

Are they using my phone microphone to listen in on me? I don't think so. As far as I know there's nothing stopping them from doing that tomorrow without telling me. How would they use that data? How much are they keeping on file? There's no way for me to know and they don't have to tell me.

I found out a year ago that Google maps was tracking my every movement. I would not have consented to that, but it was grouped in with a bunch of other "app history" permissions that I agreed to a decade ago.

So it's true. I do stand to gain from using Google's services. What's hard to judge is the costs. I can't make an educated decision without knowing the costs.

I see a combination of concern for the elderly (who will take care of them) and contempt for the work required (these are shitty jobs, aren't they)?

I don't particularly want to do that work either, so I'm certainly not immune to this criticism. But I think we might need to get over that. Since it's actually pretty important, this work should be respected and better paid, and it's actually a good thing if other work can be automated and more people move into taking care of others.
They are referencing the opening price of the stock, not where it currently is. I would argue that for an IPO the initial opening price is important since the spread between the offering price and opening price is often an indicator of the quality of the IPO.

As an employee you typically don’t want your stock to skyrocket on the IPO. Most that do plummet as early investors sell and the employees (who have a lockup period preventing them from selling) watch their “gains” disappear. In my opinion, it’s better to have an accurately priced stock that grows at a healthy rate.

The mutation rate across a genome is not constant. If a species has high-mutation-rate genes with variations that help them adapt to new environments, it can quickly differentiate itself and thrive in a new niche.

This happens in many fish, where they can transform from large saltwater forms to smaller freshwater forms within a human lifespan:

Periodically? I've spent DAYS of my life wrestling with my Harmony Home Hub. It's only worth it because my A/V cabinet is off to the side of the room with opaque doors, otherwise I'd just juggle the 5 remotes.

I have a very basic SmartThings setup to play with, and, same deal, days of my life for something that basically doesn't ever work. Every time I open the app I'm supposed to enable 2fa or sign up for a Samsung account instead, the prox tags never stay paired (and the batteries die almost immediately), the batteries on the sensors die constantly, and the actions only mostly work. It thankfully doesn't do anything that important to me, it's more of a silly side project I messed with a few times, but I've gone no further because it doesn't solve any actual problems, but it sure creates a bunch.

I definitely am not interested in getting into the business of figuring out whether I want to have light switches or smart bulbs that can change color, and how to ensure the SWITCH is on so that the BULBS always have power and can be activated via an app, or whether I need to now glue on a wall control, all so that I can.. have the same functionality it used to have.
Well it seemed like there were zero long term consequences. So it worked out.

For your example, maybe so. But:

Do you use feature branches? Interactive rebases are super nice for cleaning up feature branches before submitting a PR because no one wants to see your broken, non-atomic commits that have swear words in the commit message.

If you submit a PR to my project on GitHub and it consists of 20+ broken, non-atomic commits leading up to the final one, I'm going to ask you to clean them up and squash into one.

>Most IoT devices are not designed to be used for extended periods without internet access and a continuous stream of updates.

But you could design one with a manual fallback option. Doesn't seem foundational to me. Nothing about an IoT design prevents one from doing that.

>The latter means that unlike traditional home hardware, once you install "smart" devices you're at the mercy of the business plans of the vendor. So even if you get something set up that works acceptably, it will last 5 years tops (see Nest) before the vendor's priorities change.

Yes, that is the downside of dealing with any service oriented business, in any domain. But again, you can have a manual fallback option (as I think most devices do FWICT)

>Finally to address the "extra security" comment. Security from what?

I suppose it depends on what you consider security. For an intruder alert system, you'd need something that can transmit a notification to someone. An IoT device seems like a good option, but I guess you could also use a device that can send a text over a cellular network.

I personally have no use for anything IoT, but I think its premature to go completely in the other direction and say that IoT is completely useless. What we're seeing with so called "disruptive" technologies is that things get worse (or sometimes a lot worse), before they get better.

You are saying middleman doing quality control deserves 400% markup. I can easily imagine middleman who adds 25% markup to find $8 high quality bikini for total cost of $10 to consumer instead of $40 to consumer.

The core problem is rather huge currency imbalance. Anything done in US, including quality assurance, is hugely expensive. The Gap has to pay massive executive and retail employee salaries in dollars and have stores with rent in dollars. The currency imbalance benefits merchants on one side and consumers on other side.

There are many, many ways to study calculus, so take this as a preference.

For example, this wouldn't be my first choice.

In general, I find the "Definition. Axiom. Theorem." approach very dry and just doesn't fit reality. Nobody ever discovered mathematics like this.

One of the best books I've read is Gausses "Disquisitiones Arithmeticae" rather than any modern Theory of Numbers book.

I've had more insight in sums manipulations (and various little tricks, some of them not even justified in modern mathematics) from Euler's letters than any other book on this subject.

I don't know what happened in the meantime. It sure doesn't look like 18/19 century books were so dry like the ones today.

As someone who's done over a dozen fixed-fee jobs - DON'T DO IT. There are too many unknowns, even in "simple" jobs. It won't be worth your time and you'll regret it. In order to make fixed-fee contracts worth it I had to cut corners. I hated doing that, but I preferred it to dropping the contract altogether (sunk costs fallacy).

I've also found the clients who insist on fixed-fee contracts to be very demanding and petty. They tended to interpret the specs liberally. It's not worth the hassle. Trust me.

Ecobee was (I think) the first one to have remote temperature sensors, and now Nest has them, too.

Yes, they're (still) smart devices, but this can work without the smart functionality. The sensors detect which room humans are in, and adjusts so that the thermostat controls the heat to get the OCCUPIED room to the desired temperature. So, no 'device with an app' required (eg, this could be replicated without internet functionality).

Most fans these days ship with wireless remotes. Even my wall switch is a wireless remote. So the light and fan can be controlled separately -- no IoT required here as well.

My point stands. Uber has been a public company for all of 5 hours now, and their stock is a few dollars less per share than it opened, and everybody is freaking out and wondering what it all means.

It's not about planning out 10,000 years, or even 100; it's something more abstract than that. What will your legacy be? Your family's legacy? Your country's? Humanity's? I don't have any personal connection to somebody who will be alive 1000 years from now, or even 200, but I still don't want to leave them a dead, depleted planet.
