I'm sure it's possible. Someone may come along who is all into DrupalPress and Agilereactboxqueryhack and think it's primitive.

But they won't be able to say it's not maintainable, upgradable, or scalable. And it's documented out the wazoo, all the way down to the CSS both in code and in the accompanying PDFs. The last developer gave zero thought to who would come next. I've given great thought, and included the occasional quotation in the code comments from Goethe where appropriate.

But if the company wants to pay him/her to blow away my work, then that's neither my business, nor my problem.
If it's a traditional website and not an app, then I'm totally fine with it reloading every time you navigate to a new page or submit a form. Modern servers and browsers are plenty fast for full page reloads, as long as there isn't anything extra slowing down the load or rendering.
I got really jaded along with a few other things and let my skills stagnate for a few years and now I'm looking at jobs and I'm unqualified for all the half decent ones. I'm personally trying to switch out of development, but I kinda wish I had made an effort to at least understand some of the new(ish) stucc
Wild dogs are also domesticated; the "wild counterpart" in that quote refers to wolves.
Well ok, but I never implied (or meant to) that co-operatives aren't trying to generate profit for reasons that include less of that profit generation ending up in the hands of people who do less, at least in the co-ops im familiar with. They are more efficient than the predecessor organization style.

I definitely did imply that they had no executive class, though, which is wrong.
Who is „everyone else“? GTK‘s primary API is C, Apple‘s is Objective C or Swift, none of them are „C++ plus managed language“, only SwiftUI is „layout DSL“ and it isn’t even released yet.

So for targeting X11/Wayland or Windows, you can bet 100% on C++, only Apple platforms do not offer native C++.
How about multiple day battery life?

You probably don’t even need that much more battery, just a smaller screen and slower cpu/gpu.
If I owned a 787, would I be likely to have the rights to lend it to security researchers to test the exploits, or would it be prohibited through a contract that Boeing requires customers to agree to?

Is there a reason that an individual would own a 787 for personal use— eg - is it a plane that people change the interior layout for use as a private jet, or are these planes all tied up in commercial use?

If I owned one, I would lend it to the researcher as I would want to know the flaws and risks more clearly.

Oh, I don't see anything inherently wrong in sabotage.

And remember that it's an article about a hypothetical hippocratic oath for software developers we are talking about. Imagine if the oath doctors took was about being nice to other doctors and not obligations to the patients.

And whistleblowing will get you nowhere when everybody knows everything, it's just the way our economy is built that makes these "evil companies" flourish. It's worth remembering that you have a (limited) choice when looking for a job. I for one would be very happy writing software for the operation of trains or something similar. This is quite useful. Going to work for a company selling financial services I pretty much have a guarantee of harming people or not contributing to anything in any way at best.
3D Style Transfer for Video
I believe I am one of the devs that complain a lot about frontend devs, generally speaking...

Don’t get me wrong — being a skilled developer (in the traditional sense) with significant competence in frontend development is extremely attractive. But this profile is actually quite uncommon imo.

I have to ask, do you really think the problem with frontend development is about performance? That FE is hard because of the code is executed on unknown machines?

This does not resonate with my experience.
Isn't that just a website running locally under CEF?
The subsystem that connects in-flight entertainment to anything on the flight deck (assuming an intended one-way, read-only connection) would probably be Level D. I would guess that that subsystem is in error here.
This sounds like you wrote something extremely limited. The client will inevitably ask for some modification to it, and if you're not there to do it the next developer is going to curse at you for writing such a brain dead application.

I've seen comments like this on HN and then I've seen these types of applications in the wild. I call it the most dishonest form of consulting you can do. You've put a real shine on some inflexible shit and the clients obviously have no way of knowing what they've bought into.

>It replaced a site that was a mess of javascript libraries on top of frameworks on top of a half dozen jquery version and on and on and on.

These people are incapable of correctly evaluating work they contract out, or who is doing it. Why do you think you're an exception in this case?
Yes, the ancient Greeks knew about the color blue, as do most old world primates. Here is an linguistic explanation of color language around the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMqZR3pqMjg

The sculpture reconstructions you've linked are rather imaginative -- German grad students with UV lights, not chemical reconstructions -- and are probably only vaguely like the original colors. Where original colors have actually survived, in frescoes, etc., the ancients display a reasonable eye for beauty in color.
I'm being very specific in what has gone wrong and it has nothing to do with the climate. Hitting me with a ton of links that have nothing to do with my main argument is irrelevant. Downvoting also does nothing more than proving my point further.
Science is little more than another papacy to the eyes of many and public discourse is slightly better than a Mad-Max pit. Under these conditions I regret that I even bothered. Good luck resolving this.
It's obviously marketing and gimmicky, but I just wanted to note that I've used a portable 85W solar panel to keep my little 4-banger econobox running when my alternator failed on a road trip.

Saved me the cost of a tow and expensive repair wherever the tow truck took me to. Instead I was able to drive back to civilization proper and have the alternator rebuilt locally for $75.

So I think having solar panels for assisting the alternator on an otherwise conventional econobox could at least be useful in terms of redundancy. It would improve the MPG slightly in the daytime as well, offloading the alternator.

In a hybrid that can operate entirely off batteries, a rooftop solar system could get you out of an out of gas in the middle of nowhere bind if you've got plenty of time, food, and water on your hands.
AC/heating are actually required by law in most of the US.

For example, in the Northeast, heaters have been required for all residential construction for many decades. Residences without heaters are legally considered not habitable. In most of the Southwest like Arizona and Nevada, new residential construction must have ACs (in CA, it's not a universal requirement and window units meet the requirement).

Few residential apartments come with washers. Generally, those would be apartments classified as "luxury" or better (where luxury is a rental term of art referring to amenities, not the actual quality of the building...)
Video games used to push the PC market, I remember when you used to have to pay attention to minimum requirements. The last 10 years of video game development has focused on indie games (Minecraft, pubg, etc), and you can run these games on a potato. Why would anyone run out to get a new machine?

Same thing with smartphones. Until a killer app comes along that pushes hardware, there’s no reason to upgrade - any iPhone past the 5 does pretty much everything the XS does.
I take a similar approach for 9/10 of the enterprise web apps I build, but use ASP.NET Core MVC instead of PHP, and I also favour SASS.

Point is that SSR (Server-Side Rendering), with a sprinkling of simple JavaScript and XHR calls as required, is enough for almost everything I do, and it means build are really simple. Doubly so with a strongly typed language like C#.

I've worked on Angular and Vue projects, and the complexity level was (subjectively) much higher, despite these particular web apps not requiring any real level of client-side functionality. I find JS tests to be much more complex and brittle than C# ones too. Honestly, I hated it! Now, some of this was undoubtedly because I'm more comfortable with what I know, but certainly not all of it.
> nothing there worth walking to besides the Staples Center.

Impressive ignorance.

The historical, governmental, a cultural, entertainment, and now residential center is "not worth walking to."

And the Staples Center? Perhaps 99 on the 100 things to do list.
I do agree with you. The question is how do we get there. The government won't act by itself. It won't act unless we the people demand it. What gives me hope is that we might not need to wait for the majority vote. Apparently it only takes 3.5% of the population to get serious about something to effect change - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJSehRlU34w

So, let's get out of our technology bubble, away from keyboard, and let's go do something.

"Sparta preserved its regional dominance more by restraint than by hunger for conquest. Thucydides’s history portrays the Spartans as reluctant to go to war and often more merciful than their more liberal-minded opponents."

As Donald Kagan writes in his book about the Peloponnesian War, this was very likely self interested restraint - the entire basis of their economy was the exploitation of the Helots, and there was a fear that battles of conquest would have resulted in a revolt back in Athens. There was also the fact that every time the Spartans attempted even modest naval excursions, it completely failed, making a larger empire in an area with a lot of water impractical.

I totally agree with emulating the best in other cultures as the other says at the bottom in summary, but in some cases, there are trade-offs that are hard to decouple. In the case of Sparta, the freedom to ignore the accumulation of wealth was a luxury earned by an elite on the forced labor of others.
> But Boeing counters that it has both "additional protection mechanisms" in the CIS/MS that would prevent its bugs from being exploited from the ODN, and another hardware device between the semi-sensitive IDN—where the CIS/MS is located—and the highly sensitive CDN. That second barrier, the company argues, allows only data to pass from one part of the network to the other, rather than the executable commands that would be necessary to affect the plane's critical systems.

Well geez, it's a good thing that there's no class of bugs in which a certain amount of data, maybe more than the receiver was expecting, or terminated in an odd way, overwhelms the receiver in such a way as to cause the data to then be interpreted as commands which are run in place of the receiver's code...
I don't think for it to be useful it needs to completely power the car. Consider an average user using it to commute to work 5 times a week, where outside of commuting, the car is driven maybe a little over the weekend.

Reality is that most of the time the car isn't doing anything. So if solar can give your car a few extra miles everyday you commute, it seems potentially worth it then.
Because by keeping it closed, it is safer. /s

Most executives care about profits, security is simply not important. Even if an engineer explains that he needs more time to properly secure something, he will be asked to cut corners. Then, when shit hits the fan the executive will make a "pikachu face" and engineer will get fired for not properly implementing security.
Plenty of people put there car outdoors but in places where solar on the ground is not feasible. I do. I leave my car for 3-4 days without using it. That is 18 hours of charge, that's a lot of energy.
I hope for the overlap of their TypedQML with TypeScript. I am a C++ dev by career and had recently an opportunity to use TypeScript. It's quite nice. It has it's warts as it's structural typing, because of limitations within implementation goals - type erasure and being JavaScript but with types. As much as I would like to see TypeScript Native it's probably to difficult to marry JavaScriptness with relative ease of compilation to C++. Hopefully Qt effort could be extended beyond Qt itself and that would be something I would look forward to.
Or perhaps a slightly older quote ;-)

Can confirm. It took the better part of a month to get both windows and mac code signing certificates provisioned for PhotoStructure.

The diligence applied for both platforms at least exceeded pure security theater. They actually did a modicum of effort to ensure I was who I said I was, but it wasn't much. It just took a lot of wall time.

Does all the hate have to do with sexiness?

To many people, backend and infrastructure work is sexy. They would happily get their hands dirty and spend insane amounts of time debugging mind-boggling issues as long as they happen server-side.

Frontend work on the other hand is not, it seems. Maybe that's because the biggest problem of high quality frontend development is to figure out how to deal with users (who most deveopers seem to abhor), and how to navigate the, say... complicated circumstances that are browsers.

Maybe building something that has to work in an environment you can't control is just a little too stressful for most devs?

Personally I really don't care. I love doing great architectural work, but in the end I'm all about expertise and I don't discriminate. If I have to step-debug inside webpack plugins or understand Safari CORS handling quirks, so be it. I'm a software engineer, but to me sexiness is in relentlessly looking for an edge, happy customers and signed contracts.

GitHub works without JS just fine. Switch it off.

In fact, I'm pretty sure Github is rendered server side for the first load. You shouldn't be seeing any spinners. I'd check if I wasn't on my phone.

Los Angeles is less downtown-focused than other big cities but I still don't think that's a fair representation.

You can go to a hockey game or a basketball game in DTLA, and you're near stadiums for baseball, football and soccer. If you'd rather see a symphony than a game of sportsball you can listen to the LA phil at Disney Hall (and if the architecture of Disney Hall is more modern than you prefer, there's plenty of older buildings worth checking out).

There's a bunch of museums if you're into that kind of thing. On the grungier side, there's Santee Alley and the fashion district if you want to get that "third world bazaar" experience without having to travel.

You can get food from dozens of different cultures, even without visiting enclaves like Chinatown or Little Tokyo.

So, your defenses are that Trump only tried to do it, and failed; that it's totally insane to predict sea level rise based on models that account for climate change, but totally accurate to use models that don't account for it; "it's just a single example!"; and a multibillion dollar cut doesn't matter, even though you yourself were saying we need more research, not less.

Thats from someone who does that for a living.

Modern web-devs move faster than they think, leaving so many doors open. Someone who works on the same system plenty of years had time to patch the doors.
> basically all the new construction in that area comes in at the top of the market.

There's a reason for this.

As a result of the fact that new construction is required to have 1-2 parking spots, developers need to put in a lot of parking. And because they need to put in a lot of parking, they need to be expensive. And because they need to be expensive, they might as well be luxury apartments. As a result of all this, all new construction is luxury apartments.

The biggest impact that lifting this requirement will have is that it will increase the amount of affordable housing.
Backend dev here. I tried to create a simple Angular app. I got into some kind of dependency hell on something simple. Going from Angular 7 to 8 broke some junk? Then trying to get Angular Bootstrap to work was hellish as well, especially when some kind of polyfills junk screwed up for IE.

Ended up just linking to it directly to the jquery and bootstrap CDN...

It's been a long time since I did any kind of major front end work. I think it will stay that way. I don't do enough work with it long enough to really "get it" and retain it.
> The best method is the one you actually do.

Totally agree. I've been trying to learn new languages after getting inspired by youtube polyglots (1 year of Spanish, 1 1/2 years of Thai). I basically do at least 10 minutes a day, no exception. I don't have a fixed method, it varies overtime. Grammar, flashcards, listening, writing, talking with native speakers, translating things, playing with apps and so on. I think it doesn't really matter. That being said, I don't put too much pressure on myself. I just find it rewarding to learn something new, and the process of learning is actually enjoyable. I noticed that focusing on something helps to clear one's mind after a day of work.
How are the movie theaters supposed to undercut somebody who is deliberately losing money on every transaction, without driving themselves out of business?

This is the new VC-funded business model: you use cash as a kind of anti-gravity machine, letting you do things no competitor would do because they aren't economically rational. The bet is that, if by defying gravity you can reach a monopoly position, you'll end up making back all that cash and more. But as MoviePass demonstrated, once the cash dries up and gravity starts applying to you again, if you haven't reached that monopoly position, the fall is quick and painful.
I'm not sure that's a separate thing, actually. It sounds like a regional variant of the same original concept (rock tar taken as medicine).
Well, you may as well tell us how you got scammed.
Unhelpful advice. Typical programmer up his own ass bullshit really. Oh that ways not good. Well what's good? I don't know, just not that. Look at how many clowns criticize jQuery these days as an example of garbage software.
I agree that there are much better choices, but most frontend apps are done with onion oriented development with thousands of dependencies that constantly get vulnerabilities, and aren't any more maintainable in my experience.

If it's simple enough and they understand PHP well, it could easily be better.
Perhaps, depending on what sort of Anti-virus/Monitoring software is installed. It would definitely leave a bigger trace to install, run, and persist a malevolent executable than it is to hijack an already trusted one. Like if you saw a random exe running in task manager you would be much more paranoid than if you just saw slack.

I guess a better example might be if you have 2 admins on one computer and one could edit the files in programs directory to spy on the other. This assumes that only trusted executables are run by the victim (ie word) and you don't have the ability to modify its source code to make it malicious.
But it's often effective.

However, the city of LA entirely includes several other cities within its borders, and the LA Metro area population is roughly 10-12 million...

Also with respect to the rail comparisons, most of LA Metro's ridership is on the bus system, which absolutely dwarfs Sydney's total public transit ridership, even after huge drops in ridership.
The FAA was satisfied with Boeing's design for the 737MAX. Sorry, but I now have zero trust in the FAA.
>There is no evidence that this is the case though. The vast majority of new construction has always been targeted towards the top of the market, which in the case of Los Angeles means a need for parking spaces.

Changes will more likely happen at the margin. I have no doubt that an apartment building with 1 space per 1br apartment instead of 1.5 would still be marketable at the top end.
That is true, people (and especially politicians) nowadays seem indifferent to climate change.

Think about it, it is partly because of the narrative of the story.

If you imagine a hypothetical situation that there is big asteroid flying towards the Earth and there is a 95% chance of the impact in 2050. The governments would finance and do everything to stop this impact, to look like saviors of the planet Earth.

The consequences / or better the probability would be the same. However, the asteroid story is different, much more tangible.
Someone isn't necessarily "rolling their own stack from scratch" just because they eschew a framework.

You can always import libraries into your project for the critical stuff, instead of using the whole framework.

Even Laravel itself imports third-party libraries such as Symfony, which you can use in your project without importing Laravel.
