>That is not skepticism, that's denial of anything remotely popular because of its popularity, not because of what it entails or puts forward.

Generally speaking, it's healthy (and good skepticism) to be suspect of "anything remotely popular because of its popularity". Not rejecting it outright, but being suspect of it. New things need to prove themselves. How is this in any way controversial?

That said, I didn't advocate rejecting "anything remotely popular". I said I reject "fad phrases", not "all new phrases" or "all popular phrases".

Fad: "a practice or interest followed for a time with exaggerated zeal"

That is, small terms that emerge out of nothing, are widely adopted from different sides for different purposes, are overloaded with different meanings, and after making their rounds, go out of fashion. And I specifically added the qualification that I'm mostly rejecting those supposed to address deep psychological/societal issues.

The dismissal of "what it entails or puts forward" is already present in my usage of "fad". I don't think those terms entail or put forward something significant, and they usually do more to confuse the issues.

(I've been old enough to see several such -- if I had been in the 60s and 70s I've had even more of those, now regarded as dead weight).
It's slated as Informational not Standards Track.

You say that "The draft is an effort to prove that the TLS working group, which almost exclusively deals with large-scale devices such as laptops, phones, and servers, will listen to and address the needs of the embedded devices (IoT) community" but you don't present any evidence for that whatsoever. Rescorla's presentation of this at the IETF just gone didn't sound to me like he was trying to "prove" anything to the IoT community, whether to the extent that's represented by core (the working group that produced RFC 8613) or in a broader sense, it would surely make sense for anyone trying to do that to present _to_ that community and not to the TLS Working Group.

cTLS is just smaller TLS, it doesn't even say "This is for embedded" anywhere. The reason TLS itself isn't smaller is purely for interop reasons, if you don't have interop concerns (e.g. there aren't middleboxes in your network) then cTLS in principle gives you all the same benefits for less bits on the wire.

And php makes it easier than python, but it isn't a scripting language. Your original point is still invalid.

Alternatively, some amazing tooling has been written in these "terrible" scripting languages. Instagram was sold for a billion dollars and was a glorified Python Django webapp ontop of a Postgres database.

I got in a similar debate with a coworker recently over some go code he wrote. He told me that go code didn't need full unit tests because the compiler checked for bugs. Amusingly, he swapped the order of two int arguments in a pull request literally an hour after our discussion. I pointed out how a unit test would have prevented the production regression he caused, and then he started writing tests for his changes. So yet again, scripting languages have nothing to do with "good" or "bad" code. It is all about good vs bad developers.
Fantastic Front-End Performance Tricks and Why We Do Them
What you say is true, yet, I observe that people undertake that herculean effort with some frequency.

Whether that's a good idea, and why that is, those would be entirely separate conversations. But it's just an observable fact that languages pick up native implementations of core functionality over time, subject to certain performance restrictions (e.g., I'm sure that if it wouldn't be unusably slow, Python would have a native-Python image library... it's just Python doesn't really have that option).

I spent the last 6 months working on this project for about an hour every evening. I use this serverless Python web app framework on all of my sites (including compellingpython.com itself), and I got several great technical reviewers to look over the material, so even though there are a lot of potential improvements I think it's a solid guide.

This is the first time I've tried to sell something like this online, though, so I'd be grateful for any constructive criticism on sales flow, etc. Thanks!
My website has a number of articles that talk about anxiety health issues. I was getting steady traffic of at least 100-150 users per day. Now I get about 10/day. The traffic didn't gradually slow down. It dropped by almost > 50% on two separate days and continued that trend.

No idea what is going on. My DR has also dropped on ahrefs. I am nowhere near examine.com, but my articles are honest and of good quality I believe.

I am on the first page of DuckDuckGo, Yahoo, and Bing for my keywords. I'm on page > 10 on Google for the same keywords.

I imagine the same people who are garage orphans are probably also those who haven't got time to charge their machines for an hour or two.

That's already a concern for road trips, but day to day that'll be a nightmare. Just hang around the charging station for an hour while your car recharges.
Yep. I haven't had a physical SSN card for decades. (Was in a wallet that got stolen and I never replaced.)

The only time it's come close to being an issue was recently when needing to renew a drivers license with a REALID compliant one. One of the requirements was proof of SSN which I only had through my previous year's W-2 form because it actually isn't printed on many things these days.

I disagree that the failure here was having touchscreen controls, but don't disagree that hydraulic or fly-by-wire controls would improve reliability for ships. But in this case it was really just poorly designed software and a bad UX. If you can take an action in a vital software application that is not clear then that software/UX design has failed. It also seems reasonable that it was also a lack of training like a number of articles have stated, but it should still be obvious in the UX where control is for all vital functions at all times.

So the idea that cars can't have a quality solution in touch screens is not valid IMO. Ships are manned by multiple teams of people that require coordination and communication. Propulsion and steering is just one example. But this is not analogous to a car in anyway today, not even to a bus, tractor trailer or even train. A single person controls these vehicles (even trains for the most part), so as long as the UX is not poor it won't become the same type of problem. Of course a horrible UX could still cause problems, but a car systems will not reach the complexity of ship level systems.
NASA's Photojournal from Juno
I get by with a 100' extension cord (12 gauge) for my 100D Model S charging off 120V. The vehicle detects the voltage drop and reduces its charge rate accordingly. 36-48 miles of range per 12 hours added to the vehicle (the average American round trip commute is ~34 miles/day).

If I'm in a pinch, I'll pop over to a Supercharger for a top up, which is at the local grocery store so I'm shopping anyway. The charge is so fast (~150kw charge current, ~25 minutes), I sometimes have to go move the car mid shopping trip.

> It's not an open alternative. All decisions on what AMP should look like and what it supports are done by Google behind closed doors. See, for example, AMP 4 Email [1]

That's nonsensical. Why then does Bing use it?

Why are they forced to use it? I would really like to see your position stated coherently.

How do you propose to achieve instant loading web pages, while working around all of iOS's bugs?

This just demonstrates that you don't understand AMP, don't understand RSS, or don't understand both. AMP allows the link aggregator to cache and directly serve the article contents, exactly like RSS does.
Which is exactly my point about composability.
I don't see how that's avoidable in any language that doesn't require explicit variable declaration
this seems like a natural end to the author's aptly named 'Suburban Experiment'. once these true costs are factored in and some really unpleasant decisions made, it's not unreasonable to think that a lot of smaller tier cities/burbs will fold up due to a cycle of tax increases due to true revenue required => people leave => less tax base => death.

but honestly, that seemingly had to happen. the true cost of 'burbs is just way higher than anyone wanted to admit (or tax). the huge overhead of services + spreading them out over massive areas (relative to dense cities) seems to be untenable long term.

> it paints a picture of certain places as belonging to a certain group of people by natural right rather than by a more contingent or accidental mechanism

It is a delicate and fragile thing to be sure. The culture of a place comes from the people born accidentally to it. The desire to see that culture drives people not of it to visit, and then maybe to relocate, but if they don't let go of their own cultures and assimilate, they will fundamentally change the culture that drew them there.

Is this bad? It just means something changes -- it's up to the maintainers of the existing culture to decide how they want that culture to change.

Free movement is beautiful, a border-less world idyllic, but it does mean abandoning regional differences as the world becomes one giant ice cream soup of Hard Rock Cafes and Le Pain Quotidien bakeries, Ei Group pubs and Wyndham hotels.

Honestly you're right. While they've been selling more and more Fusion hybrids every year, they have largely shifted plans away from the sedan. My bad - not sure where they're going next. They might get behind hybrids, but the past performance is not indicative of the future!
They want to control all the features under the guise of a unified experience.

All of these things are true, but they require a non-trivial level of experience and discipline to avoid most potential gotchas. Your average Python project on the Web isn't written to this level of quality, and when people are learning programming using Python in school they certainly aren't there yet, and are gonna hit all kinds of problems related to this stuff.

But is there a way to force immutable variables in Python? You can easily still end up in the same situation when you typo something (easy to do when plurals are involved), and then end up reassigning something when you meant to create a new variable.

California for Condo/Townhome owners. However, in my experience, it didn't help. I had a condo with a shared garage, and the HOA said I had to pay for not just a line from the electrical room to my parking spot, but also the equipment/piping to scale it to any of the other parking spots. What would have been a $2000 installation turned into much more. My point being, even though there are laws that allow you to do this, there are ways they can make it out of reach if they want to.
This thought had come to me a few years ago and I've always wanted to try it. Never got around to it, though.

The person you're replying to is talking about handling mutable state in a "stateless" way. That's a big distinction.

How so? Why is it such a big distinction? Why isn't that just encapsulation? "Handling mutable state in a 'stateless' way" is basically just Smalltalk style Object Oriented programming. (As opposed to Java or C++, which has some differences.)

I really struggle to see what the case is for PHP anymore.

I maxed out '04 to '14.

After working in a dozen other languages, the only motivation left seems to be sunk-costs and job-market openings.

It's so domain-specific that you're hamstringing yourself in the future.

Where will garage orphans add gasoline to their cars if they must park on the street?

If only there was a way to add energy to a vehicle outside of the home. Cars park all over the place. Distributed charging infrastructure doesn't sound too impossible -- parking meters probably already need electricity. Park and rides or business parking lots incentivize people to shop or commute in certain ways for a relatively modest investment.

I disagree for many reasons, but chief among them is that Slack is a tool, like email or JIRA are tools, to communicate between members of a team. The culture around that communication is what makes these tools useful. If a company bases their culture around real time communication and organizes both their communication tool and company accordingly, a lot of these problems disappear. Multiple channels and project channels can ensure that only relevant people get notifications. And 10 years ago, people were complaining about the constant pinging of email as a distraction from work. You can close or mute Slack!

One thing you don't mention here is the usefulness of RTC tools for remote work. I work remotely, and I can't imagine only interacting with my co-workers through email or a ticket interface. It is, for me and my company, not at all conducive to the type of innovation that makes our work successful. I think RTC tools are the closest remote employees can get to "Hey X, can I grab you for a second?" Emails are too formal, tickets are even more so. Slack is perfect for this kind of communication.

Side note: at my co., big tickets or ideas get sent in emails. You don't have to use just one tool!

Yeah, the input isn't really under control because it's coming from deserializing a YAML file. It worked for the exact type of input I was expecting, namely, when you configure a specific value as a list, but it wasn't working for anything else. And YAML has plenty of types it can split out, so my naive fix still only handled lists and strings properly!
The spark was being sold under other names since long before the volt or the Bolt. When they started calling the Spark the Spark the Bolt was still several years off and they certainly didn't have a name for it at that point. The choice of "Spark" coincided with they giving all their small cars a bunch of active sounding names.
The people who wanted strong static typing have already left PHP. I don't think they're catering to their userbase.
In other countries with ID numbers like this, I wonder how much of a difference is made by requiring that institutions be liable for fraud, rather than shielded from such fraud, forcing them to use more secure methods of verifying identity/possession by default.

Example is chip+pin, which is widespread in Europe but not really available in the US. Chip+nothing (which is still better than a 16-digit number) is become more commonplace as the liability protections that the magnetic strip enjoyed are disappearing. People react in self-interest, and the fact that you become liable for fraud if you take the strip instead of the chip mean that there's a large incentive to move away from the magnetic strip.

I'm sure if you dig into it you'd see similar provisions that protect other organizations, either throw law, regulation, or just protection of "industry standard practices", from being held directly liable if they use the SSN for identity verification rather than insisting on a more reliable hard-to-exfiltrate identifier.

Why does it matter to you, as the consumer, that FCA hated producing the car? It's still cheap to buy and operate.
I dont quite agree. While this is certainly a secondary factor, which a portfolio manager will worry about (i.e. a stock tanking due to bad press or negative ESG ranking), investment committees which develop responsible investing policies are guided by guenuine principles. It’s a multi-dimensional problem and the challenge is of course that these dimensions sometimes counter each-other and result in feedback loops. The is what makes a market, however, the sheer size of large institutional (and sovereign) investment funds will, in the long run, run over marginal players in terms of impact.

I'm talking about statically typed languages also, just ones with inference. Haskell, Rust, Ocaml, F#, Go, etc, and increasingly languages like C# and Java are adding more and more inference.

Your response makes me think you don't really get what type inference is.
