just for comparison's sake i recommend trying to read Hegel, who is one of the more celebrated philosophers yet one regarded as one of the worst writers. one of the things that Hegel argues is that to understand a philosophy you must understand the philosophy that come before it meaning that individuals who commit to studying philosophy are better equipped to understanding.

you finding Derrida cryptic(which can describe much of the post modern french) is understandable, but calling him a charlatan makes little sense, you at that point would be calling much of the discipline a charlatan discipline. though in the contemporary his philosophies are frequently cited to be argued against, his concepts such as deconstruction of philosophy brought much to the table.

congratulations on your accolades but they don't really seem like rigorous studies to help you understand academic philosophy.
I think what you generally learn is that code you write yourself is potentially slow whereas code from dedicated libraries is probably faster. I don't think it's best practice in any language to write your own matrix multiplication with for loops.

(P.S. Python has some JITed implementations and also has a built in matrix product - @)

The state of async await tooling is shocking IMO.

For anyone curious how bad it was, here’s a StackOverflow post from 2013 asking about intelligible async stack traces in C# with a proper solution not delivered until 2018 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15410661/is-it-possible-...

When it was finally delivered it was done by an amazing individual(Ben Adams) picking up the slack for Microsoft.

Last time I used Node in anger, last year, their async stack traces were even worse, losing the stack traces at the await point. Hopefully they’ve fixed it by now.
Huge powerful batteries are simple. It's making them small and lightweight that's the hard part.
I think you’re right that we are on the cusp or real natural language understanding. It’s an incredible moment. But we are also kinda far from these huge models being in every home because of the enormous amount of compute they require. Even running inference with these things is kinda expensive
One must be proficient in research methodologies including qualitative and quantitative techniques. Research should also bring out something new so that other researchers could further explore findings of that research paper. If research is substantive it can find place in research journals. I have not done PhD but got my work published in research journals. You can also publish your work open source using SSRN, Research Gate and Academia (dot) edu.

I am not advocating to use hand-written for-loops for matrix multiplication. Just that the language and the community should not impose an undue penalty to for loops. Not all scientific algoritms are matrix multiplication. Sometimes, the computation you want to perform is easily expressed using loops, and your language should not get in the way. I have seen many students struggling to "vectorize" their algorithm and writing an ugly mess instead of a clean loop. They were under the impression that writing a loop over the whole data was extremely dirty and to be avoided at all costs. When I wrote the thing with a simple loop, it was so ridiculously slow, that it even re-inforced their apprehension to loops. This is a sad tragedy, and there is no real reason for it to be that way.

“We already store data.  In a database. It works well”
A SPA is predictive of a web application that has substantial performance, UX, and accessibility issues. A high schooler can build a page with some simple HTML and some jQuery sprinkled in that makes for a substantially more pleasant experience than teams of professional developers regularly manage to do with SPAs. I'm sure there are SPAs that are pleasant and add value above the alternative, but they are clearly very hard to build correctly, as evidenced by how many multi-million dollar SPAs are pieces of shit. It's kind of besides the point whether that's an organizational or engineering failing, because the very fact that SPAs lend themselves to those kinds of failings is an indictment of them.
Surely, you're joking?! What if you want to actually see the Flugelfluffer assembled before you purchase it in a flatpack?

Although the terms first, second and third world are often used to connote standards of living, that’s not the original sense[1] in which these terms were coined. They were Cold War era terms used to classify countries into Western bloc, Soviet bloc and the countries not aligned with either of the aforementioned blocks. And going by measure, the US could never be a 2nd world country :)

That's a ridiculous outlook. Musk might be misguided, but its not like he swooped in and took control of the rescue operation and put kids' lives in danger and forced a sovereign nation to use his submarine. He made a thing that may or may not work and brought it to a place and said they could use it.

The diver doing that is like winning the world cup and then during your post-game interview you use that time to talk about how bad your teammates that sat on the bench are. Maybe he's technically correct about Musk's submarine not working, but he's still classless and an asshole. Its hard to imagine that Musk would be upset if there was some good PR for Tesla as a result of this but its also not hard to imagine that a part of him legitimately wanted to do something that he thought would help.

Pedophile in that context was not intended as a serious allegation that the diver sexually assaulted kids. It was a generic insult that just plays off of the stereotype that western expats that live in Thailand are going there primarily for underage prostitutes.

Its also ridiculous because the divers were immediately praised and applauded by the entire world. Why would they even give a shit if other people showed up to help and they (the divers) were the ones that got to run the operation? It was a pretty positive event where some people saved some children from certain death and in the aftermath 2 grown men decided to turn a positive thing into a petty argument.

I suspect I’m repeatedly misreading this subthread then. My point is that web apps are still apps, no matter whether app data came from http or fs or sql. It is unclear why good old methods of slapping data controls together wouldn’t work and why is it so hard and esoteric to do fullstack today and learning curves are so steep even for a simple crud++ area.

> It can be argued that I did not use the best server side framework, did not know what I was doing, etc. That's actually my point: if doing old style web apps was so much easier, I should have been able to complete it fast without much sweat, no?

Having seen many similar discussions I came to the conclusion this might really be something of a generation gap. For those of us who spent their youth developing web apps back in the day, doing it the "old" way (that fortunately still works) seems natural and easy. And in some cases it's ridilously easy. If your needs are fairly typical (like the CRUD you describe), you might not even need to do that much - Django Admin or Laravel Voyager will take care of these.

The information is not public record in Israel.

Apparently, the parties voted themselves the right to that data when the election cycle starts (6 months or so before the actual elections, or something like that), under the promise that "they will keep it safe, and delete it afterwards, and only use it themselves". Needless to say, it has leaked out to marketers/private-investigators/bittorrent in basically every election cycle so far.

The fact that very large SPAs are harder to build and maintain and thus easier to mess up isn’t a very compelling argument for the people who have the ambition to build great SPAs. More ambitious projects are easier to mess up, of course.
It provides the hash of files as a method of verifying the input identity. As long as the build file is pure function of build tools (gcc, make, etc), and the build tools themselves are deterministic, the build outputs should be reproducible. Though I've never seen anything like `-frandom-seed=<input-file-name>` in build files. I think bit-by-bit reproduciblity is one problem tackled by guix.
A nice paycheck? What else do you work for? Do people really search for happiness at work?

> people at white collar jobs are generally happier than people at blue collar jobs

Because white collar workers get paid more for less work in nicer settings? I'm betting CEOs are happier than their underlings.

> Blue collar workers definitely work for money.

So do white collar workers.

> and they see their jobs as monotone means for making a living

Sounds familiar in the white collar world.

> without a mission in mind.

The mission is to make the shareholders/stakeholders money. It's the same whether you are white collar or blue collar. Maybe blue collar workers are smart enough not to buy corporate PR unlike some white collar workers.The entire article reads like every mass produced self-help nonsense.

> They are happy about being obsessed with their job and their mission.

You just described a corporation's wet dream - a mindless, hopeless corporate kamikazi singularly focused on the mission. But are they really? Or do they use the obsession to mask their dissatisfaction with life? Is obsession with their job and their mission really something to be happy about? Seems rather dystopian.

I’m curious about the legality of this. In Australia I don’t believe it’d be legal to ride a unicycle on public roads; the laws vary by state, but the standard definition of “bicycle” requires that it have at least two wheels (e.g. https://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/safety-and-road-rules/road-r... for Victoria, https://www.transport.wa.gov.au/activetransport/bicycle-rule... for Western Australia), and I doubt that unicycles would be covered by any other category.

I disagree. SPA frameworks attempt to re-implement browser UI and DOM within Javascript. Of course the result is buggy and slow.

The browser already has a UI and DOM framework. Use it. (Yes, I know it's ugly. Such is life.)
Indeed. You can still read Eelco Dolstra's thesis [1] from 2006 and the general principles still apply. Some details have changed (e.g. the builder.sh scripts have mostly been abstracted away), but for understanding the Nix store, the Nix language, etc. it's still completely relevant.

3. An environment where trial and error (and thus failure) is encouraged.

I can see someone like Servicenow or Splunk wanting to acquire this. Decent idea for organizations that dont have existing frameworks around these types of things. Where I see it not working would be in places where the use of 3rd party apps are prevalent. We have many of these at my place of work (Finance, 70k employees), one of the top apps used by the business to make money is a total black box, when something goes wrong with it there isnt much we can do besides send off the core dumps to the vendor and wait for analysis, with no 2 scenarios ever being the same root cause.
I wouldn't mind the copy writing too much. I'd pay more attention to eg sensible password policy.

Basically, if they allow the same strong passwords as eg GMail, I take that as a good sign. If they have silly restrictions like lots of banks, that would weight much higher in my estimate of them as an online bank than the silly copy.

It depends, as always. (Compressed) JSON is probably smaller than (compressed) HTML, but that doesn't necessarily translate to more round trips. And browsers are pretty good at rendering HTML, and at the same time SPAs will get in the way of translating the JSON to rendered HTML on screen.
He did a great job, but I wonder if unity optimizes the runtime for components that doesn't need update every frame?
- Parametric Polymorphism is a way to define types or functions that are generic over other types. There is no composition going on here. So I disagree with you here.

- You bring up a good point about monadic composition and other forms of more advanced function composition. Although I don't explicitly mention these types of compositions my words encompass these forms of compositions as well. Additionally, technically the >=> is still "function composition" and "point free programming" as the operands and resulting composition are all still functions getting composed.

- Applying higher order functions? Do you mean function factories that take a function and return a new function?

So like C = A(B) where A, B, C are all functions and C is the "composition" of A and B?

The above shares an isomorphism with dependency injection. If A B and C were objects the syntax is exactly the same.

So I mention this in my second link as one of the caveats of OOP. This type of composition is equivalent to dependency injection or object composition. "A" cannot exist on it's own without "B." This is a bad form of composition. as "A" is dependent on "B".

If you do too much of this in your programs, then, like doing an excessive amount of dependency injection or object composition in OOP, your program will lose flexibility as it becomes a network of dependent primitives. Qualitatively, it also makes your code look like a giant mess if you do this everywhere.

That is why the above form of composition is not primary. If used at all it is only used sparingly and usually only on well known higher order functions like map, reduce or compose.

Caveat: It does get blurry here as the composition operator is in itself a function that takes in functions and produces a new function. This is where the isomorphisms between OOP, FP and procedural programming I talk about in the comments on that Quora post begins to meld the paradigms together.
This sounds similar to C++'s exception-mechanism, on which the C++ community seems split on whether it's good or not.

Are they any noteworthy differences?
