It’s the browser vendors’ fault - they not only failed to provide us with options for disabling/circumventing this abuse, they are complicit with the ad industry and actively support their interests rather than their users’. They’ve also made browsers so complex that it’s impossible for small developers to provide a more useful alternative. This is where I am hoping we will reach the breaking point soon, so we can replace the whole mess with something simple and user-friendly.

I would suggest something along the lines of YourKit pricing which seems to be industry standard for the most part.

Also their personal license which isn't advertised heavily is $99/yr which allows for commercial use but must be paid for by the individual rather than a business entity. I like this license because I like to take my tools with me and doesn't make me beholden to purchasing/procurement departments of the companies I do work for.
Even if it were, say, a menorah, it could mean that the developers are Jewish.

Well... there are only two standard APIs for the front end: DOM and the web API (browser stuff and HTML5 things). Once comfort with those is achieved you suddenly need so much less code to do radically more ambitious things.

The time saved in both authoring and maintenance pays for itself in learning the standards.
I have a 5th grader who's taking Algebra I now and will rapidly run out of math classes

Have you tried giving him more challenging problems based on his existing math level? Work on his problem solving skills could benefit him a lot. Most high school math is just repeating the example solution with different numbers.

One nice source of challenging problems is the past contest page of the CEMC [1] (disclosure: my university runs these contests and I have participated in grading for them). They have contests for a variety of grade levels and both the contest PDFs and the full solutions are available for download, entirely for free!

The web site has a lot of papers talking about that. They do detect spikes in defined syndromes.

But for stuff like this that isn’t a defined syndrome and isn’t really captured well at the hospital it’s not an outlier until scientists do a lot of analysis.

Often only the first parts of the book are quoted, most often the famous pin factory. But this misses the book as a body of work.

An except from later in the book that I think aligns with your point:

> the understandings of the greater part of men are necessarily formed by their ordinary employments. The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations, of which the effects are perhaps always the same, or very nearly the same, has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses, therefore, the habit of such exertion, and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. The torpor of his mind renders him not only incapable of relishing or bearing a part in any rational conversation, but of conceiving any generous, noble, or tender sentiment, and consequently of forming any just judgment concerning many even of the ordinary duties of private life... But in every improved and civilized society this is the state into which the labouring poor, that is, the great body of the people, must necessarily fall, unless government takes some pains to prevent it.

It's worth noting that Smith's work was a prelude to that of, for example, Ricardo on the pricing of land (labour/capital) and Marx on ownersip of land/capital.
What you're not considering is the demand induced by a "safer" product. Look at the recent vaping epidemic among teen-age youth. How do you know continuing to improve vape technology won't continue to drive up demand to the point where the cost burden is spread more thinly across more people? E.g. instead of fewer people having very expensive cancer care, vaping could still cause some damage and incur costs across more people.
What Will AI Look Like in 10 Years?
What always amazes me are the Excel wizards I find who show me a thing they want on their website in just a few minutes and I'm thinking:

In either case, you control the destiny of your data, either forcing it to an archive or to /dev/null.

The problem is exactly the lack of such control. Frankly, if you let the data out, there's no guarantee a copy of them does not linger somewhere.

Having companies have an incentive to get rid of your data after some time, for profit reasons, might be helpful. For instance, work email is usually purged promptly after the mandatory retention period expires, so that it could not be used in litigation.
It depends on the problem. Some problems can't be solved regardless of how much money you throw at it, and some problems get worse with more funding.

eg. the war on cancer, terror, etc etc..
I share your concerns.

fwiw, here is a small-medium sized app's bundle: https://emberclear.io/bundle.html (ignore the fact that ember is in that report twice, that's a problem with my analysis, and not the actual bundle)

Do you believe alcohol sales are un-ethical? Alcohol can be extremely addictive, and in spite of the rampant use among youth, I don't hear public outcry against brewers. I'm not saying it's apples-to-apples, but I believe the fact that those crying out want alcohol more than a vape may play a role in the selection of Boogeyman of the Day.
Pinboard is a profitable online equivalent to a mom and pop shop. It’s sustainable and its founder isn’t chasing growth at all costs. It also has a cult following, so OOB is highly unlikely.
It may not be viable for "real" programming, but what I like these days is to just write some code without even trying to think too clearly about what I am doing or the details, and sprinkle asserts that encode how things should be if I was following what I am doing.

Then I run it interactively with source debugging and when anything goes wrong, I do some editing and more than half the time I don't even have to restart the program from the beginning.

And the more subtle the things I "assert" the more direction I get when they are violated. It eliminates a lot of effort in sorting out incorrect ideas when I can just encode my incorrect ideas and let the computer find the problem.

I've always shied away from Lisp and similar, but I'm definitely reminded of how advocates describe the benefits of developing in an interpreted environment. When I was a kid, I always had the sense that only compiled languages were prestigious, industrial strength, professional, whatever.

This is the correct answer. The problem isn't how the class action suit was orchestrated; the problem is that class action is the only plausible and scalable form of justice currently available. Severe automatic penalties of X dollars per account lost and / or criminal liability for executives similar to SOX is what we need to deter these mistakes.

But we’re converting smokers to non-smokers, not executing them out of hand, so you’re only saving $250k. Of course, allowing smokers to buy their own vapes seems like a trivial cost to save $250k/person (and, you know, their lives).
Shrug. Once I was a published grad student I got asked to do a fair bit of peer review and was always told they really needed help because they didn’t have enough peer reviews and that most people avoided it because it was not actually their job (not in reality, regardless of whether it hypothetically counted). Maybe I was misinformed.

There's not one.

Time and time again, organizations prove that product design/project management by consensus leads to budget overruns and under delivery.

Quality at speed requires dictatorial like organisation with high risk to all. In every example given people died, more were maimed and even more had mental breakdowns. Seems like most people aren't willing to be a part of something like that today and there doesn't seem to be any popular cause that would motivate such projects.

Cheap, fast, and good are three interesting measures. It’s often said you can pick any two, and from experience I would have to agree.

I’d be curious to hear about projects spanning this gamut – something done fast n’ good but costing dearly; fast and cheap but horribly executed (I’d bet a large slice of projects fit in quite well here), or the amusing slow, expensive, and ultimately shitty. Perhaps most interesting would be story or two about projects which miraculously attained the trifecta... that is, if any of these stories actually happen to exist.

Silicon Valley seasteaders go looking for low tax sites on land
Up until now, it has been Army, Coast Guard, Navy, Marines and Air Force. This is nice and symmetrical since there are five sides to the Pentagon and five stars in the highest possible general rank. The addition of another branch breaks this symmetry, though. So, what to do?

I propose that the Marines be subsumed by the Department of the Navy since they are naturally part of that branch. The symmetry is thus restored. The branches of the Military, then, will be the Army and it's Four Bitches as it has been and as it always should be.

Indeed. Taxes suck, bad for trade. But we need some or all spending is by the individual which kind of destroys societies (some services are best provided by-all for-all). No since we need to have taxes,why not tax the "unwholesome" instead of the "wholesome". I mean, nowadays income-from-labour and houses are taxed a lot; they seem pretty essential... Why not tax pollution instead? The market would reward sustainability instead of "easy money by maximizing on the near-free polution". Actually I think it is backwards that we tax wholesome behavior so much; much more than pollution.

You misunderstood my comment. Perhaps global average was not the right term. I mean to say top of the list of countrywide averages. As in best on Earth.

America gets a ton of shit online, but the shitty areas that drive averages down are a tiny percentage of total population/land. They're outliers. For example, Houston is rated as one of the most dangerous cities in the country - but only a handful of neighborhoods/areas are actually bad.

I've always found it kind of surprising that the Darien Gap has never been closed. I can only assume that if Panama and Colombia were rich countries rather than poor countries that it would have happened. People solved the engineering challenges required to build the Channel Tunnel and the Øresund Bridge, after all.

(Note that I'm not saying that it should happen or that it would be a good thing necessarily.)
I could never get into the whole "side-effects for async code" pattern so many people are using with Redux. At my current gig, we are using redux-observable, and that's a WHOLE lot for people to grok to simply ... `await fetch('/users')`. I do agree, redux-sagas is much more in line with what I would expect.

But they all lead to things I would consider "hacky". Since it's all side effects, making sure two things that are "side effects" of the one action run in consistent order can be troublesome, since it's usually down to "well which one registered with the middleware first?"

And, if you ever need to actually simply `await` an action, you need to set up some middleware that will give you a promise that resolves / rejects when certain actions happen. Then you need to tie metadata to your actions if it stands that multiple of the action you're waiting to resolve happen.

Or, some people recommend creating a promise before dispatching, passing that promise reference around, checking for it in your sagas / observable.

All things I would consider super hacky.

I've been using my own middleware for years that simply lets you make `payload` a function, async function, or promise, and it's all incredibly more stable when things get complicated, and newcomers can grok whats going on in a second. You get `/start`, `/success`, `/error` actions baked in. And since it's promise-based, you can `await dispatch()` when you need to. If you need to get the state, or dispatch more actions, you can, right from the original action.

For times when you truly do want something to be a side effect (read: incredibly rarely because my actions have access to `dispatch` and `getState`), I use a very simple middleware like redux-saga but with standard async / await syntax.

I've been intrigued by people praising these side-effect workflows for some time, but after using redux-observable, I don't think I'll ever go near them again.

Apologies for the rant.

It isn't supposed to punish the claimants though. Filling out the form was worth less than the payoff. Better to just burn the settlement than to waste everyone's time trying to distribute it. Or give out $600 to every 1 out of 100 claimants based on a lottery instead of $6 to all.
> I found myself putting more and more responsibilities on it and wound up with some very magical feeling, hard to troubleshoot code

Agreed. There's a simplicity to React / Redux that I absolutely adore. There's very little magic going on: things happen because you've explicitly told them to. Side-effects in Redux seem to throw this out the window.
If you’re referring to the Bible verse Leviticus 20:13, well, I’m sorry to say that the excerpt from “The God Delusion” or wherever you learned this simplistic piece of misinformation is, in fact, incorrect. Shocker.

In fact, there is no account of capital punishment, in regards to this law (killing homosexual men), in Jewish history.

As for Judaism, Rabbinic tradition understands the Torah's system of capital punishment to not be in effect for the past approximately 2,000 years, in the absence of a Sanhedrin and Temple.

And as for Christianity, Leviticus and indeed the entirety of the Law of Moses was fulfilled by Jesus Christ.

And so no, neither Jews nor Christians practice this at all.

I've been using Ember in some capacity for 6+ years now I think. And have been using ember on about 5-8 different production-shipped projects (with Elixir backends) and it's been a great combination for our company from a tech standpoint.

The bigger issue has been finding contracting talent that's more affordable. Since there's a real dearth of talent in general (and freelance contractors) in the Ember world since the community is already so small, the few that are there are too expensive for us to hire for more than a couple week bursts.

I hope Octane helps bring more people to the Ember ecosystem and introduces more variance into the contractor rates, since I want to keep using Ember for future projects.
This is bullshit think of the children scaremongering. Even among teens smoking rates are dropping. Adults are responsible enough to make the choice for health reasons. And there's still zero indication that vaping is harmful, so at the very least it's not as bad as smoking since it's been around for a decade at least now and nothing obvious has come up.

And nicotine has this weird reputation as being dangerous, but beyond addictiveness it has not be shown to be harmful, even potentially neuroprotective. Not to mention scaremongers tend to ignore that it is a stimulant, and can help with anxiety. Schizos are known to self medicate with it, for example.

The analogy of course wasn't exact, but it fits the structure of your argument, so it shows your argument was wrong.

Fuel availability is NOT a problem. There is no shortage of sunlight, or wind, or uranium (if used in breeder reactors, and why are fusion reactors, which are breeders, allowed but fission breeders are not?) The 200 year figure for uranium assumes a once-through cycle. In breeders, ores with 50-100x less uranium per unit mass of ore would be usable, because breeder get so much more energy out of each unit of uranium mined.

Oh, and please don't repeat the Rare Earth canard. Solar doesn't use rare earths, and wind doesn't have to. I think you're just repeating talking points you haven't bothered to understand.
