I'm a lawyer who can code. Here's how I have used that skill:

* MS VB Macros for automating how my documents look and what they do

* Basic sync scripts that sync folders locally > server and vice versa

* An app to keep track of the my frequently used rules: trial rules dot com

* A website to keep track of various developments in my area law [internal to my firm]

* A PDF app that automates basic tasks [batestamping, adding exhibit stickers, etc]

> they come from people who aren't really front end developers

I think web frontend development transitioned from "acceptably complicated" to "way too complicated" some time around that time the first person wrote "Front End Developer" on their business card.
If ads were just images / text links I wouldnt ever bother using an adblocker. But because pop ups and insane amounts of JS abuse, auto playing videos and browser exploits I just cant stand ads. At least ads in magazines flow with the content.
Well, yeah, it's because that's all you hear from incubators, accelerators, investors, etc.

I've been to so, so many startup / entrepreneurship conferences / competitions / workshops and what not the past years, where the main takeaway has been: "Growth is everything, business models can be reshaped later on".

I mean, sure, it's all fun and games for the startups and consumers - they're being bankrolled and subsidized by VC money, but it's a very artificial state. Lots of products start to suck the moment monetization enters the picture.

I may have voted for Trump, and I probably will again, and I may bear my share of responsibility for his blunders, but I don't agree with many things he does. He was probably wrong that time. Other presidents do horrible things, like when Obama didn't challenge the family separation rule on the border, gave Libya to ISIS, waited too long in Iraq, or presided over Fast and Furious. And I still voted for him twice.

No, the contention of [1] is that they wanted to influence the real estate market based on an unvalidated fringe model that predicted more extreme sea level rises than the majority of the other models.

[3] is interesting because I'm not sure how much money should be pumped into climate research, and neither is anyone else. There's a point between 0% and 100% where it becomes a net drain on the world. Who knows where that is. But single digit billions of government funds plus all the University endowments feels reasonable. I could probably be convinced it should be double digit billions. But nobody knows the right answer. And research isn't stopping by any stretch.

The value of the uses has nothing to do with the value of the petroleum. If we stop burning it, demand falls off and the price drops. Dramatically, because if we stop burning it then we have way more than enough for all the other uses.

That's actually the primary reason we need a carbon tax -- if we make any real progress toward replacing oil in some other way then the partial progress causes the price of oil to fall and interfere with additional progress.

It really depends on the problem you are solving.

Like internal tools, consumer facing tools, content site, social site, etc. Is it an MVP? Rebuilding an old system? Is this a build it, ship it and move on? Or build, enhance and maintain for foreseeable future? What's required lifetime of it? What's the desired lifetime?

As well as resources. You want to use different setups if you are a single person compared to a team of 15.

Generally speaking the smaller the team the simpler the architecture needs to be. And the larger, the more isolation you want between pieces.

Personally I currently like Rails and React best. Both are fairly mature frameworks and work well together. Not to say there aren't better alternatives just those are the two that have worked best for me. There's so many good options that no one knows them all well enough to make a fair comparison.

I think Rust is very promising as a much faster alternative to Ruby and expect to switch over to it sometime in the next decade. But I don't feel the web frameworks for it are mature enough yet that I can justify a switch to it to my employer.

I've never met one of those users that care wether you reload a page or not.

I've seen people that care if you create a SPA that shows a spinner for 10s before allowing the user to get any of your content, but those are not as numerous as Google's webmaster tools makes one think.

I've seen plenty of people that are perfectly fine with a page spinning for 90s before getting any content if the page has the data they care about.

So, any out of context claim like "everyone wants a SPA" is wrong.
I assume if the logic is wrapped into something that handles it correctly, you can declare it as safe, even if inside it's unsafe.
Why use a chart? It's what, four questions?

Is it a photo? -> Use .jpg and compress as much as possible
The source you linked discussed reproducibility of modeling and analysis of historic data. It makes no mention of the problems responsible for the experimental replication crisis that I'm describing in other fields - it wouldn't make sense to because climate science is not and cannot be experimental. Which makes the science more vulnerable to bias because there is fundamentally no way to prove beyond statistical estimated whether it is right or wrong.

Why do you refuse to admit the possibility that political and social pressures in such a strongly politicized field can bias climate science? All of the ingredients are there, and the only reason such an assertion is contentious is because of these very same political norms. It begins to resemble dogma, when any criticism is treated with such disdain.

The long term solution will be to run most large ships on synthetic liquid hydrocarbon fuel manufactured on shore using renewable power. Sails and onboard solar power can help a little but the gains will be marginal.
Interesting that they never found the root cause. I assume they fixed it by detecting symptoms since the cause is unknown.
Known unknowns vs unknown unknowns. "I know how this should work but something's wrong" vs "how am I supposed to do this? Should I do this? Will this other thing change?" Hackers are fine with it, but system architects hate that uncertainty.
For one-dev sized projects (i.e. simple crud type apps) this may well work.

However I would be concerned about a couple of things if this were me and I was doing anything beyond the absolute most basic web app:

- long term maintenance. Doing something only you understand and only you can maintain (that job security you mention) is a bit of an unprofessional dick move IMO.

- if you need to get other people in to help, you now have to spend more time training then up on your custom system that they don't understand and keep an eye on them to make sure they are doing it right and not introducing security issues

- When your client wants to integrate with some common third party thing ("hey can we put Google maps in here?"/"we need to integrate with stripe payments") you'll need to reinvent the wheel from scratch to do it using your custom system rather than just use a well-supported off the shelf library.

- you'll need to stay 100% up to date on all security issues/approaches/classes of vulnerability to make sure your custom system is secure. Your audit was ok this time, but everytime you make a change to your custom library (e.g. to support Google maps or stripe) you're now going to need to go through the audits again to be sure you've not opened up any new security holes (and perhaps new ones you've not ever heard of because you are only working in this weird little custom system/thiefdom for the past 2 years)

- how to support the INEVITABLE requests for extra features that require something client-side that cannot be easily done with only PHP and static pages. It is not the 90s any more - the cat is out of the bag regarding interactivity ... the requests for client-side nicities that users are used to in other things WILL COME! Clients always want more! :-)

Still anyway I guess you don't need my good luck wishes as I am sure you are correct and that you really have out-thought and out-coded all of the well-supported and well-funded frameworks that have been built by many thousands of people and have been battle-tested in the field for years (e.g. Laravel, .net MVC, struts etc). Because otherwise if you hadn't totally out-smarted the entire industry, I'd be shitting myself and checking my professional liability insurance about now.

A total waste of time for the return of course, but it's satisfying just to read the story, it must have been even better for you. Nicely done.
Well, choosing the right tool for the job is part of being any kind of developer. If you could solve the problem with no framework/lib/state manager, why go that way? The fact that those tools exist doesn't mean you _have_ to use them.
Hey everyone, I’m the creator. As a host, we spent several days/weeks parsing through information to figure out the best location, price, and size for our current vacation property. The research paid off, but it was time consuming. After doing that several times for friends and family, we decided it was time to create a simpler approach.

Thus Hostology was born. I’m a self-taught developer, and I decided to give it a shot with what I knew. I used Ruby on Rails with Postgres and Redis for the backend, and Javascript for the front end. I learned a lot about how to efficiently digest json responses, but most importantly the importance of having automated tests early on (and running them often…)

This platform is in its early stages; I’m hoping to add more tools to help us hosts outperform our competition. Feel free to have a look and let me know if you have any questions.
Yeah but after that? How often do insurance companies go after the "dumb" lock manufacturer? Could the same be said about "smart" lock manufacturers? I would guess that this idea of a lawsuit against one of these companies is only an issue of "when" not "if".

2) django-admin startproject mysite

Edit: To be completely fair this doesn't anything for the front end, unlike create-react-app. I'm not a web developer so I don't really have a dog in this fight.
Among various reasons:
- Most people overcomplicate things, in general, not just in web dev.
- Not using the right tool for the job (I often run into sites displaying static content where they are using a bunch of frameworks and unnecessary code)

> Further, the expertise I do bring to this conversation is in software development, and I can say assuredly that a one-man development team using no 3rd party libraries is definitely creating a codebase nigh unmaintainable by other people down the line.

They said, "No frameworks." They didn't say no libraries. Some people make a distinction between the two, others don't. You are taking the stance that they mean they mean the same thing. Realize that others don't consider them the same thing.

Further, the expertise I do bring to this conversation is in software development, and I can say assuredly that someone who doesn't know the nuances between libraries and frameworks in the software development world can't make the claim to have expertise in the software development world. =)

every distribution mechanism I can think of signs the entire distributable, so you really can't just modify the ASAR without breaking the signature. Windows & macOS both require you to only install from signed application bundles/installers (or at least they make it very difficult for you to use unsigned software)

Only drivers have to be signed on Windows, and even then not all kinds until Windows 8. Also many apps, including Visual Studio Code, are available in 'run from USB' form, so there's no installer, just an archive you unpack and run. Those archives can be modified and redistributed without invalidating any of the PE signatures within, but since nobody pays attention to these signatures anyway and Windows doesn't enforce them, yeah, this is typical Black Hat-week PR nonsense.

I think there’s also a flat rate? Maybe it varies from territory to territory.

These days I believe movie theaters makes a lot of money on advertising as well as concessions. Now that everything is digital advertisements can be changed on a whim and moved around and updated. Many chains (at least in Europe) are now selling premium advertisement spots. Like after the trailers just before the feature film starts.

Normally yes, but most browsers have mitigations in place that prevent this from happening, for some degree of prevent. But browser mitigations, plus OS updates and Intel/AMD firwmare updates, for machines that stay up to date make the specific Meltdown/Spectre attacks mostly not a thing in JS(in the browser).

That said, Javascript(in browser) and Security are basically 100% opposites. If you can execute JS in a browser, you can do whatever you want to that page in the browser.

It's not Javascript that makes you write shit software. It's trying to write software that runs correctly on a wide variety of platforms that you don't control.

reaperducer's rewrite was an improvement, not because he replaced Javascript with PHP, but because he moved all the logic to the server, which is a single environment he controls. He could have used Node instead of PHP and achieved the same thing.

This is funny because C++ used to be considered a shining example of this. Software is a flat circle.
Exactly. I'm an incompetent programmer. I took about 4 classes at university on CS and a lot of my EE courseload used some programming. So I've written smaller programs, I've made a simulator of an 8-bit processor.

I even made a small app to autodownload train info from an API and tell me which route is faster two years ago. But that took me 40 times longer than it would take someone who does software engineering for a living.

So I leave the programming to the professionals in my legal practice.
