There are 3 places where one can say ember is stringly typed:

1- controller/service dependency injection(no more with octane).

2- ember data API(store.createRecord(modelNameString) and serializerFor(modelNameString)). I don't mind it results in less imports and API might change in the future.

3- this.owner.lookup('$abstractionName:$fileName') => I like this one. It removes the need for an extra line of import code and import path could have been very verbose for something far away in dependency tree.

Therefore, I don't think it is a serious issue anymore.

Majority of the ember source code and internal packages are in typescript and there is a good typescript support for app development via addons. As a person who wrote an ember-cli alternative, I can say with confidence that you can build ember apps in typescript. Despite all that, the type analysis performance overhead/cost of typescript compiler today isn't worth the type benefits for really big SPAs yet in my opinion. I think instead those frontend teams should optimize their hiring and mentoring practices until we have a very fast typescript compiler.

Addon/package authors can write their code in typescript and make it work with JS or TS ember application code today.

TLDR for the ones who made weak typescript arguments here against ember.js:

Antifragility at Work: Change Is the Only Constant
>I highly recommend going to literally random places.

Certainly not my experience. Most restaurants are mediocre or worse. User review sites are of course highly imperfect and sometimes there just aren't very good options off the beaten track.

But I must say I have generally better experiences with doing at least a modicum of research (whether online, local recommendation, looking at menus, etc.) that just walking in somewhere at random.
Except for the fact that Elon Musk nearly always misses his own deadlines so what's the point of that rhyme if you don't even know what the deadline should be?

>I find myself gravitating much more towards the negative reviews

Whenever I buy anything on Amazon I look at the negative reviews and most of them are people saying they straight up got the wrong product or whatever they got came broken/scratched up right out of the box. I see these complaints often enough that I assume people aren't just lying outright, but I personally have never had any of this happen to me despite all of the junk I've bought on Amazon. It's made the negative reviews almost as worthless as the positive reviews that are possibly just paid off.

Like another person said, the 2-3 star people are often what I find most helpful. I find they tend to be people who are honest but just way pickier than the average buyer, so the stuff they complain about usually doesn't matter to me, but its still informative.

Within our industry I’ve sat in entirely too many meetings where executives removed basic security investments from the roadmap over the objections of engineering. They understood the risks of doing so; they merely concluded that the personal consequences were both small and unlikely.

This natgeo article seems to disagree with you, claiming that higher upper ocean temps allowed Dorian to maintain a greater intensity than it would have otherwise while stalled over the Bahamas. Higher temps also contributed to Dorians overall strength.

I was surprised that Spotify had such a low profit margin -- 26% -- and I found an article[1] that explains that royalties are the biggest factor. They go on to explain that Netflix's solution to the royalties squeeze has been to launch original content.

I wonder why Spotify and Tidal don't have recording studios launching new music? Do they figure the library of existing music is so massive that they can't ever get ahead of it with original content? It can't be that existing music studios have been running so efficiently that they can't be successfully undercut by one or two companies who have a grip on most music listening behavior.

I can't refute your personal experience, but 10 years of Erlang work left me longing for more. It sounds as if perhaps Erlang was not used optimally, or, alternatively, best practices may not have been followed.

10 years ago the ecosystem was horrendous, and is much better now. Granted, the build experience could be better but I didn't find it that bad.

I find that people's experiences are relative to what they are accustomed to. Early years for me included compiling and linking C in Windows (segmented) and that was truly horrible!
I got a MSc (in electrical engineering, thesis on neural networks in 1998) and went into industry, switching into programming in mid-aughts. Absolutely no regrets. Ph.D. is absolutely not necessary to get a good job in programming, and at most employers not really even an advantage.

If you make the wrong choice of which job to take, you can fix that relatively easily by switching employers, and your experience at the "wrong" place still adds to your perceived value, status, and pay. If you make the wrong choice of thesis, advisor, or university, I am led to believe it is much more difficult to correct.

From your own description of your desires, skills, and interests, it does not sound like you should be getting a PhD. You can leave industry and go back to school later if you want to (I did to get my master's), but the reality is you almost certainly will not want to, so you should be clear in your mind that you're making a definite choice.

Addendum: “Unless you are Google” :)

Well, at some point it is a matter of personal preferences and tradeoffs. One time, I used to work on a high-frequency trading system written in Java... yes, in the environment with zero tolerance to GC latency. The core system was written with “off-heap Java” style, with memory blocks preallocated... and for the periphery everybody could use regular GC-enabled Java.

Could have written everything in C++, but everybody hated C++ so much they preferred heavily modified Java compilers and environments.

Afterwards, some parts of the core were rewritten in Rust... and there were no significant performance or other gains, so it was left as is.
Irrational fear? Climate change is an irrational fear in America? Just drives home how late we are to do anything about it.

Don't you recognize that your words are just as meaningful if the parties are switched? For example:

That's not at all why global warming alarmists exist. The reason they exist is because the green energy industry managed to make believing in climate change a political issue rather than a scientific one, which is why the alarmism is embraced by one party but not the other. The actual "arguments" don't matter, this one especially since it's impossible to tell if Dorian would've even existed or not had the climate not changed.

Perspective matters.
The idea that technological futurism and capitalism don’t impose incredible amounts of social control, and that they aren’t ideological & dogmatic is nonsensical.

Once you get your sizing dialed in on a few "nice" brands (thrift stores are great for trying several brands, just go in knowing which ones you're looking for) you can wait for sales & seconds (shoes) & used (thrift stores, ebay) & overstock and such. Most are rip-offs at full price but are priced about right (still much higher than fast-fashion, but not insane) at 30-40% off, which isn't that hard to find, and are great deals under that. Now that I know my sizing in a few reasonably consistent much-better-than-fast-fashion brands I just wait for their sales, order a few pieces a year online, and the clothes show up. It's great.

It's perfectly fair, however, to point out the difference in economic scale and political influence between the fossil fuel industry and the renewable energy industry. The fossil fuel industry is rather larger, and rather more powerful. And by "rather", I mean "tremendously".

It is also perfectly fair to point out the relative likelihood that international political problems around fossil fuels are far more likely to cost the US in blood and treasure than political problems around renewables. We don't go to war for wind and sunshine. Meanwhile, we spent hundreds of billions a year as a nation - not to mention a toll of American military and non-US civilian lives - in order to maintain our semblance of control over flow of oil.

You want to be honest? Sure, let's be honest.
> Isn't that the cause of the issue though ? "Who cares about 100+ years in the future, my v8 mustang and my weekly plane trips are pretty convenient, and planting a tree won't change much anyway, and china is doing anyway, plus if I'm the only one doing it it won't help that much, and &c."

This is a caricature with little bearing on reality. Indeed, the biggest share of CO2 emissions isn't due to "rich Americans" living wasteful lifestyles, but people in emerging economies living a comparably modest lifestyle. That's what makes this problem extremely difficult. We would have to deny those people the lifestyle that we enjoyed for the past 50+ years.

We could achieve far more by, say, investing into replacing more primitive power generation in those countries than replacing inner-country air travel with more primitive transport.

> The problem is that the things most countries agreed on are not nearly enough and even if they were almost none of the goals are met.

Of course, moral posturing costs nothing. When you actually try to do something as political leader, such as putting a tax on fuels as Macron did, chaos ensues.

Whyever would you think that? BR had a plan in the 70s, to be ready early 80s, to get a reasonably modern network. We had the East Coast main line that was historically the "record breaking" line, where for some stretches 125mph+ was possible. 4468 Mallard got the steam record on it in 1938 - 126mph! We had some extremely old bits of track too.

So, plan was APT - a 155mph tilting modern electric, and HST - a 125mph diesel for lines that needed uprating or electrification (most of them), only temporarily. Plans for a Channel tunnel were resurrected and agreed. The French SNCF was just getting on with building TGV, with enough funding to build a network fit for purpose.

Thatcher threatened APT with cancellation, so there was a far too early demo, that went infamously poorly. HSTs were rolled out. A year or two later APT was quietly ready for service. Thatcher sold everything to Fiat, complete with patents. That's not the end of that story.

HST is limited to 90 and 110mph across most of the network as it's not up to 125mph. Bits of East Coast can have it run as designed.

Many years later, UK train companies want to buy Pendelino, an Italian tilting train to modernise the network. Pendelino is the descendent of APT we sold off.

West Coast main line - one of Europe's busiest - finally finished upgrade, ready for 150mph Pendelino. Except to HST suitable speeds - 125mph in the 2010s! We now have 150mph capable trains limited to 125mph.

Yep, most definitely gonna stay that way.

phd in machine learning - it was worth it, but i had an awesome advisor and my own funding (via a fellowship) so my experience is not necessarily the norm. I would never recommend a phd to someone given the time commitment (almost lost my girlfriend, and now wife, and a lot of friends), but life is way better post-phd than if i hadn't done it. I understand the bind you're in. The phd will open more doors to more interesting work, your opinion will start to have more weight, and available interesting work finds a way to your desk. Just remember that you do pay for all of this with several years of hard, stressful labor - being an expert in a specific technology can get you to the same place without nearly as much of a personal time commitment.

Sure. (I mean, probably; I'm not an expert.) And if Instagram came out and said that that was not allowed then this point would be moot. The objection (in this subthread) isn't that they're banning the behavior, it's that they're being dishonest about it.

> Partially supports Vulkan.

"Partially" is misleading, MoltenVK almost completely supports Vulkan.

At this point the only features not supported are quite minor things, like lack of custom allocator support, and not being able to query pipeline statistics. Geometry shaders are also excluded because they're not implemented in Metal, but they are considered optional in the Vulkan spec.

https://github.com/KhronosGroup/MoltenVK/blob/master/Docs/Mo...
Even assuming that's a valid reason to restrict a competitor, the phrasing is still deceptive.

If Instagram stands by their decision to block third-party links, then they should phrase it as, "we block third-party links", not "they're not currently supported."
Just...what?

Absolutely.

This phenomenon of love and devotion is not limited to humans either. Animals, especially dogs, elephants, certain bird species, may die of a broken heart when a loved one leaves.

The fear of climate change ruining life in America is irrational, because America is the richest country in the world and will probably be able to push most of the bad effects off on other people. Even if climate change destroys trillions of dollars the US will still have trillions left. Americans should be thinking in terms of spending a few billion now to save a few trillion later, not in terms of an existential crisis for the human race.

I find it odd how much better off-the-rack fit tends to be on more expensive clothes (for men, anyway). You'd think that'd be one thing the cheaper brands could easily duplicate, and that the main differences would be fabric quality & construction, but no.
This is actually a good suggestion.

If we don't care, why anxious?

If we do care, having clear mind helps with thinking how we should act to deter the incoming disaster.

What makes us anxious more than we should is the lack of number. People say there's an impending doom, but we don't know how severe it is.

We need numbers over the course of time to keep monitor.
