I'm doing this as well, mostly. It's surprisingly productive! I don't use jQuery or anything like that either. For DOM manipulation I've got a little utility module that I'll include in projects. I know what every function does and it's mostly just some convenience wrappers around standard APIs, I have maybe 15-20 functions in total and I don't think any one of them is longer than 20 lines (including comments and white space.)

I've written some reasonably complex apps this way, but I'd probably have a hard time selling this approach to fellow devs, most I've worked with are very entrenched in <insert favorite framework here> and not particularly keen on doing things differently. I can understand and appreciate that point of view, and will acquiesce to the will of the team, but in the past year or so I've had the luxury of being the sole dev on most of the projects I've worked on so this is what I've done and it's been wonderful.

F5 is my compiler, it requires no additional configuration beyond what's already in the HTML, and it's super fast. I love it! :o)

Exactly. There's very good reasons why tools like Webpack and Babel exist.

Here's two excellent articles that go over the history and use cases behind the JS tooling ecosystem:

As a counter-point, there's also valid reasons why a lot of the JS tooling ecosystem is painful to work with:

For myself personally, I'm quite happy with the React ecosystem. For the kinds of "desktop-app-in-a-browser" apps I work on, it's fantastic.

Blame the lawyers. That's what they're good for.

"On advice of every defense lawyer I've ever heard, and even former prosecutors now in a position to give unbiased advice, unlike you, so I'm following their advice."

The real answer to "why" is that "Asking for a lawyer is a ritual incantation that drives cops away like holy water does for vampires."

You can't say that, so blame advice you've been given instead, or just keep repeating "I want a lawyer [in order to be able to talk to you]" like it's a mantra. You don't have to explain yourself. Cops are not interested in "why". They know perfectly well why. They know you don't want a lawyer, you just want to end the cop's interview and fishing expedition. They don't like that, so they're going to make you feel guilty about asking for a lawyer when you know and they know you really don't want one, and they're going to try to make you say something dumb as a result.
I really hate webpages where things don't zoom consistently. Zoom should scale everything the same. Just like how zoom works in real life, or essentially any other context with optics, or bringing something closer to read it, or further away to see more of it.

If I'm zooming, I don't want your buttons and graphics to adapt themselves to be relatively bigger. That's godawful behavior that ruins the usefulness of zoom entirely. I'm perfectly capable of zooming back to click your buttons if I really want to. (In other news, the percentage of time I click these buttons is low, on the order of 1/200. They aren't as important to me as they are to you.)

Why is the web full of this behavior?!

The PC motherboard form factors were:

1984: AT - 16 bit slots, taller cards

1985: Baby AT - eliminated the large non slot area

1987: PS/2 - changed most things, only keyboard/mouse and VGA connectors were adopted

1995: ATX - rotated Baby AT 90 degrees so tall components wouldn't interfere with cards

1997 and later: many ATX variations, BTX, ITX and so on

This is definitely intentional. There is no way implementing a cancel button for subscriptions would cost more than doing it via customer care.

is there any research on economics of journalism?

Journalists don't seem to get paid well, companies regularly go through cost cutting and shady practices (click baits, atrocious tracking and like above). We don't seem to value good journalism as much as we should.

We should dig into the problems of bigger companies and see if completely public funded companies may be better operated.

BBC was good until it recently deteriorated in quality. What happened?
Absolutely. They mention immunotherapy in the article, and pembro (aka Keytruda) is the best-selling drug in that class. Another big one that was introduced around the same time is nivolumab (aka Opdivo). Immunotherapy has really transformed certain parts of oncology (including melanoma, which they mention in the article as well), which is why some of the foundational researchers won the Nobel last year.

Gotta nitpick here.

JS _is_ the native language for browsers. Therefore, it's reasonable to target it.

While it's entirely possible to compile your language interpreter of choice to WASM and run that in a browser, you're now in sort of the reverse position that folks complain about with Electron: adding tons of extra bloat, overhead, and complexity, just to duplicate some other runtime environment into a place it wasn't particularly intended to be used in the first place.

In addition, with most "compile other language to WASM" demos I've seen so far, they end up just drawing things on canvas, thus losing all the accessibility aspects that are built into the DOM already. (Yes, I know WASM has some DOM interop abilities and more coming, but that's not generally what I'm seeing done atm.)

What's _really_ needed is way better UI elements built directly into HTML, but those are sadly lacking.

> Who Should Avoid Snowpack?

> - Anyone who loves tooling-heavy development! This isn’t sarcastic, I promise! By dropping the bundler, you can’t do the magic that Webpack is famous for. Using import to load CSS, Images, and other non-JS resources is non-standard and unsupported in the browser (for now). You may appreciate a dev environment that is true to what standard JavaScript browsers support. Or, you may find this annoying.

I like that they make this a point, and I'm very much in the "let's not overload the standards" camp so I appreciate this as a feature, not a bug. This convinces me to give this tool a go!
Walter, I love your language conceptually as it runs fast and has a simple command line compiler (no .net framework hell or Java .jar madness).

However, most of my experience is with Python, Perl, Bash...etc. So I don't have a lot of Java, C#, C++ experience. With D, this sometimes bites me as all the doc seems to assume I'm familiar with that world. There is that one beginners book which is cool, but it only covers the absolute basics and I still get confused traversing stdlib.

Still, Thank you for all the work you've put in over the years!
> Literally the only reason I keep using Chrome is that no matter how many tabs I have open, they're all visible at the top.

That might be true for you, but on my 1920x1080 screen, Chromium appears to stop even trying to show any new tabs in the tab bar after around 125.

I have 453 tabs in this Firefox window.
oh no. I used his text "Database Systems: The complete book." in my db course in uni. very well explained concepts.
Are you actually going to write WASM by hand? Or are going to use a ... you know... compiler to generate the WASM from your source file? If you compiled Typescript to WASM instead of js, would that somehow be a different development experience?
There are these things in the US, we call them "lawsuits", that compensate people for abuses they may have suffered at the hands of the police.
They are more common at public companies, but a company doesn't need to be publicly traded to give people RSUs. Conversely, a public company can pay in options rather than RSUs (or both) if they want.

I have the same feeling. A lot of people will stay on Zen 3 / PCIe 4.0 / DDR4 for years and PCIe 5.0 will be for min-maxers.

Hell, even the current high-end PCIe 3.0 setups like mine seem to be quite future-proof.
Fair point, but these kinds of cancellations are not unusual. For example, YF-23 and X-32 were both cancelled due to losing the competition to YF-22 (later F-22) and X-35 (later F-35), respectively. So individual designs were cancelled, but not the original mission request.

Although all those programs were cancelled, both US and Soviets built a bunch of interceptors in the 60s and 70s, notably F-106 Dart and Su-15.
they can also use more layers without increasing model size.

Additionally, in section 4.9 they compare more layers and find "The difference between 12-layer and 24-layerALBERT-xxlarge configurations in terms of downstream accuracy is negligible, with the Avg score being the same. We conclude that, when sharing all cross-layer parameters (ALBERT-style), there is no need for models deeper than a 12-layer configuration"
How to prepare your work update for a Stand-up Meeting in an Agile Team
This is always true: you're always making some strong assumptions when trying to make a causal claim. Using a causal framework, DAGs in this case, at least makes those assumptions explicit.
I wonder what it'd cost to use a waste material like slag. Slag weighs like 90% of the weight of concrete and is 10% of the price--because we basically throw it away. I guess the biggest cost would be containers to hold it. Even if the (cost container to hold slag + cost of slag) = (cost of equal weight concrete)--we're not using up concrete that could be used for things that actually need concrete. Here we just need something heavy that won't collapse when lifted. Plus, concrete releases co2 when poured. I guess co2 would have to be released to manufacture the containers--but even then...interesting thought.
That's quite the heavy work. What do your compensation ranges look like (if you are allowed to disclose)?

Not really. Resize your window to 1920x1080 and open 150 new tabs. In the last tab, open any site you want. Now switch back to the next to the last tab. Hover over the tab bar. That pop-up doesn't show you the last tab.

I suspect the rationale is that, depending on the language you're using, some IDEs "help" with coding to the point where they're correcting your mistakes and even writing parts of your code for you. This is pretty much a selling point for everything JetBrains makes, and arguably even Visual Studio Code rubs against the edge of that if you're using a language that's well-supported by IntelliSense. The central thrust of the course is presumably how to write code yourself, and the case could be made that learning with an editor designed to routinely save you from yourself isn't going to be as good as an editor which, well, isn't.

(This is setting aside the argument as to whether Vim is a "dated" editor. Vim is an old editor, to be sure, but forget WordPerfect -- it's not as old as Microsoft Word is!)
I really want somebody to use one of these to make a picture frame you hang on the wall with no power cable.. just a spot in the frame for AA batteries, and some kind of low power Bluetooth connection to your phone to update the picture via an app.

I dunno - I'd want to consult an audiologist or ENT doctor (otolaryngologist) before answering. But my uneducated opinion is that dynamic music gives the ear time to recover from the loud sections (given normal listening levels), while the compressed-to-all-hell music does not, since it's a constant high level sound.

My tinnitus came from being around jets & equipment in the military, concerts (Rush's Presto tour in 1990 was super loud), and competitive shooting. I double-up on my hearing protection these days.
Inductive reasoning works reliably in mathematics and formal logic, and literally nowhere else. So, if you have a mathematical model of physics, you can use inductive reasoning on that model, but the universe is under no obligation to obey your model.

In fact, we have found our models to be violated by nature over and over, countless thousands of times. Quantum field theory and General Relativity arose specifically to address exactly such violations of older models. Nobody has found violations of either (unless it finally turns out there isn't actually dark matter).

Dark energy and its lack happen to be both consistent with GR. GR and QFT are not consistent with one another, so one or both will need to give, but each has thus far passed every actual test.

You may insist that red shift is not caused by universal expansion, but then you need another explanation for it, consistent with observations. Discomfort is not such an explanation.

Your religion is not fun.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryogenic_energy_storage#Effic...

>In isolation the process is only 25% efficient, but this is greatly increased (to around 50%) when used with a low-grade cold store, such as a large gravel bed, to capture the cold generated by evaporating the cryogen. The cold is re-used during the next refrigeration cycle.[8]

>Efficiency is further increased when used in conjunction with a power plant or other source of low-grade heat that would otherwise be lost to the atmosphere. Highview Power claims an AC to AC round-trip efficiency of 70%, by using an otherwise waste heat source at 115 °C.
How about instead of pushing water up into the air, you pulled air down into the water. Build a big floating object at sea and drag it down into the water with a cable attached to a motor/generator.

Favorable geography ON RIVERS is limited. Off rivers, the possibilities are enormous and largely unexploited.
Yet the Soviets kept on producing those prop powered Tupolev Tu95 Bears and others well into the 80s, and Putin started patrols and the intercept game up once again. Think they've now been repurposed as cruise missile launchers as well as bomber. So the Lightning kept flying into the 80s, then Phantoms and eventually Eurofighter Typhoons would be going to play with the Bear nearing airspace. The intercept role was expected to disappear, but hasn't. The newest intercept role is the surprisingly frequent post 9/11 intercepts of civilian airliners that go silent or otherwise raise suspicion. UK has Typhoons going supersonic over land every few months. So despite expectation, it never quite went away.

You're right about the brain drain, but it would have been nice to see Avro continue, and no doubt had they been building Arrows there would have been a more air superiority/longer range mark III -- they did already have mkIII plans, and ideas for even faster, after all -- as roles adapted. Above all, Avro Canada might still be in existence and competitive.
They are referring to an internal combustion engine as a device that coverts heat/expanding gas->work, where the reverse is work->heat/compressed air.

> I mean, are we to believe that she did not realize this was paid sponcon by her own company

Well, first off, I doubt she wrote that FB post herself, and it's questionable if she even saw it before it went out. But even so, I'd easily believe that she thought the article was organic, not sponsored.

FB (like all other large companies, organisations, interest groups, etc.) pays a lot of money to a PR team to get content like this into publications, and it works quite well. PR flacks are constantly talking to journalists, offering info, trading favours, giving journalists access to insiders or the opportunity to do a photo shoot, and even providing "draft" articles that the journalist can use as a starting point.

These efforts succeed all the time; is it shocking that some FB execs may have believed they worked on Teen Vogue? (We're not exactly talking about the NYT here...)

From Sandberg's point of view, FB pays a lot of money to PR people to get fawning puff pieces into print, and here's a fawning puff piece in print. Why would she smell a rat?

What I want to know is, where did the communication breakdown happen? Who wrote that wording? Did everyone at FB believe they'd convinced Teen Vogue to run an organic puff piece? Was that intended to be a draft that the reporter was going to rewrite? Or was it always intended to be a sponsored post, Teen Vogue messed up by publishing it normally?
Oh hello friend, you've piqued my interest as someone interested in D, numerical optimization, and linear algebra. I have some questions though.

How do you do numerical optimization in D? Do you somehow wrap Coin-OR's CBC C++ library or lp_solve? What does it mean to call the R functions directly? Do you have an example? I'm going to guess that won't be able to handle the massive and time critical models I use, but am still curious.

How do you do linear algebra? Are you binding to BLAS, LAPACK, Armadillo? Or did you write some routines from scratch?
CGA supports a 16-color 160x100 graphics mode as a hack on the 16-color text mode. A few games used it, but not many. See http://tunneler.org/low-res/

In this mode, if you use a dithering pattern you can generate 256 (16x16) dithered colors.

When connected to a composite monitor, the dithering pattern appears as a solid color, giving you 256 unique solid colors at a resolution of 80x100.

In a composite video signal, different pixel positions produce different colors, so if you shift the dithering pattern over by one pixel, you get an additional 256 colors.

The author was able to find four such dithering patterns, for a total of 1024 (256x4) colors. However, the last two dithering patterns (the last 512 colors) require some low-level hacking scan-line hacking.
