> Maybe it will be different with Chrome as the winner since for Google uses the browser as a platform to deploy its own web apps, but it still means the direction of browser development is primarily decided on by Google, and will meet Google's needs, which may or may not be the needs of the internet community as a whole.

Yes and that company already has huge voting rights on the standards committees and is the primary benefactor of its "competition". Chrome and the web is already one and the same.

> I think you might be a little bit confused about how web standardization happens. Browsers are very much allowed to innovate beyond what is specified in standards. And in fact most standards are based on features that at least one browser has already implemented. Innovation drives standards, not the other way around.

It mostly comes from demand from the community. Take this lazy loading images proposal for example. It's only implemented by one vendor:

https://caniuse.com/#search=lazy

Its demand comes from the huge amounts of websites that use lazy loaded images with their own libraries. The browser vendors did not implement let alone invent this feature.

> If competing implementations makes sense for operating systems, wouldn't it also make sense for browsers, which are basically the equivalent of an operating system for web apps?

Because the web is already standardized, already a solved problem. One day the market will bring forth an ideal operating system, and we will standardize on that. The analogous event has happened for web browsers. Some people are understandably in denial, still used to the old religious warfare way tech ecosystems worked.
It is very trendy for Barcelona residents (I am one also) to moan about the MWC or ‘gentrification’.

It is less trendy to complain about the relatively low unemployment and well-maintained civic infrastructure; both of which are boosted by a strong international business presence which employs a lot of people and brings a lot of wealth to the city.

Losing that international presence risks turning the city back to the dirty, poor, backwater it was in the 80s. If living with a couple of major international events a year is the alternative, I know which one I’d choose.

I think the cancellation of the MWC is a disaster for the city, not just in terms of short term economic loss, but in terms of longer term strategy, as the MWC is already muttering about following other events to Madrid or elsewhere.

Yeah github seemed to also have some interesting innovations working with in the (programming) language classification domain.

There has been some work done by people from the ML@B over at Berkeley (?) to greatly improve github-linguist, the tool GitHub uses (I think) to identify programming languages in GitHub repositories. The project is named lexicon (used to be hosted at https://lexicon.github.io/ but now it 404s...) and the results seemed very interesting.

Tried pinging github support about open-sourcing this work, but it seems it's not going to happen. I had very friendly and helpful people answering me, and I totally understand not wanting to open-source something. I just feel a bit sad for the lost opportunity.
Probably not, but the US has started more than a few wars which has led to insane amounts of suffering and dragged it's allies into it as well. This, as a European, I fear more than China's foreign policies.

> Does neuroscience rely on neuron/collection-of-atoms duality?

No because such duality doesn't exist. It's a relationship of composition rather than duality. It's empirically shown that neurons and atoms exist and neurons are composed of atoms. Last I checked, there isn't any empirical evidence for "the mind" just like there isn't any empirical evidence for "the soul". And nobody is asserting that the mind is composed of brains.

> IIUC, classically "mind-body dualism" involves an assertion that the mind cannot be explained physiologically.

No. Classically, the mind-body dualism is the idea that the mind and body are distinct separate entities and that the mind does the "thinking" and the body cannot "think". Has nothing to do one explaining the other.

> Psychology only asserts that the mind can be reasoned about directly.

Not directly, indirectly.

> The usefulness of psychology depends on that reasoning being sufficiently accurate and sufficiently easier than reasoning neurologically for some problems.

Or... there is no such thing as a mind-body duality and it's all just body and psychology is pseudoscience. Mind-body dualism is just a rehash of the soul-body dualism. People used to believe that the soul controlled the body and that's why the body could move. People used to believe that the sickenness of the soul translated to sickenness of the body. Hence why people used to believe diseased people were cursed by god for their sins. We don't subscribe to that belief anymore after advances in physiology. As we learned more about the body, the soul slowly faded away. Makes one wonder what advances in neuroscience may do to the mind.

I regularly do 15 to 30 minutes. In my current project, it's between 30 and 45 minutes due to socialising with coworkers. These minutes are not paid, meaning I have to stay longer at work, less free time. Long lunch almost always feels terrible to me. Short lunch is like a treat for myself.

I'm confused why this is even a puzzle.

There is a bubble. Companies with half a product, no distinguishing technology, and no path to profitability are getting valuations of billions.

Therefore the big guys - the FANGS - become worth trillions, and can afford to hire the best of the best and pay them millions (over the last 5 years, with stock, yeah, that's what sr engineers make in Seattle/Silicon valley)

So, you've got the best software engineers in the world making adtech.

Which means the only ones the Iowa Democrats can find for a 60k budget aren't inept, but they're certainly not in the top tier. See also: The Obamacare online rollout.

What will fix it?

A market correction. One, as a well paid sr engineer, I am not looking forward to. But it will make a bunch of actually competent software devs available for smaller market projects, and suddenly the quality of government software will increase dramatically as lower-paid-but-outstanding-benefits government jobs seem way more cushier all of a sudden.

>It's the difference between building a nice doghouse and a skyscraper. The problem is too few know the difference

That’s what my question is about!

Building engineer knows or reads N54.s-1e/624 “on public safety in a first floor lobby” to design it. It may specify various requirements like no sharp edges, glass walls need stripes on them, non-slippy floors, etc. Then when they need to add an electronic lock to all main entries, they contract with a seller whose locks are licensed with LS9-41.3/FLL. Then firefight inspection validates these entries for public safety again, involving standardized legal rules.

I don’t even try to describe the actual building from the ground to the concrete structure process, because that will be too naive. Lots of standards, requirements, ready-to-use plans, or a project approval process that requires half a year for a shallow review of all documents in many controlling departments.

What I’m interested in, is there such a level of engineering in software at all. I don’t know about anyone who did something like a regular building engineer does at the / before the construction site, but in software. Is there such a thing like Software Engineering at all? All popular software doesn’t seem to have signs of no-dog-house, when you read their code.

> The problem with this new territory is exactly the unsettled issue of whether providing a password is testimonial and protected.

I can see no possible correct answer than "yes, absolutely, it is testimonial."

If I may take some minor artistic liberty and change the words without changing the scenario:

Consider a person on trial for murder, and the prosecution believes they wrote down where the body is buried on a piece of paper. The paper's got blood on it and was found next to a hatchet and duct tape. Gee shucks though, it's written in an ancient dialect of Silbo Gomero and they're the last person alive who speaks it. The prosecution would really love to have that evidence for their case. Can they make the defendant translate it for them?

Absolutely not, right? That's clear-as-day 5th amendment, if-I-translate-this-for-you-I'm-incriminating-myself territory.

It is the exact same concept with encryption. There is a piece of information unintelligible to an adversary (prosecutor), that the adversary believes (due to surrounding known evidence) would further their case. The only way to transform the information into something useful for the prosecutor is with the help of the defendant, using knowledge that exists only in the defendant's mind (password).

Asking the defendant to create the evidence against themselves (evidence that does not exist until the defendant creates it, mind you - not something like the contents of a safe where the physical evidence exists whether the defendant wills it or not) is a 100% textbook 5th amendment violation.

I really feel that if someone sees this any other way, they fundamentally misunderstand how encryption works. The documents the prosecution wants do not exist unless the defendant (re)creates them, and you can't ask someone to create evidence (testimony) against themselves (5th amendment, again).
No I believe he did, look at the pingbacks!

Your book looks like a potentially great resource for teaching electronics to music tech students. I will follow your progress! Thank you for sharing.
All this shit applies at the FANGS too so I don't think any market correction will magically solve the problem.
It is.

The docs, however, are terrible. It is because a friend told me that labels in the docker configuration form "groups" where you define everything I finally got it to work (what I mean is that I create a label which covers ho, to match the traffic, what to do with the traffic I matched etc. and all of this relies on one word shared between the different lines).

The community is not very helpful either.

Beside that, once you understand the idea, it works really really well.
It's called rubber hose cryptanalysis for a reason. Holding you in prison at all (let alone indefinitely) requires violence. Violence is applied to get the defendant to reveal their decryption keys.
Because it's not actually taught anywhere. There are no widely adopted standards. Web development is literally a patchwork of random libraries and npm modules stitched together.

Computer science programs don't teach students how to build good software, they teach computer science. CS professors wouldn't even be qualified to teach good software engineering practices if they had to.

Code is also difficult. It's one thing writing your own code and understanding it, but understanding someone else's code is very difficult since you have no idea what was going on in their head when they wrote it. Of course there are practices you can follow to make things simpler, but it's never going to be as easy as say reading plain English.
> If the court orders a case to arbitration

If it's not by court order, but in the clause of a contract, then the company just never bothers to schedule the arbitration at all. That's actually going on with some companies.

Not all of them are aphorisms. "Circle of competence" is closer to what you could call a "model", even if it is pretty trivial. I'm pretty convinced now that part of the problem with the Mental Models meme is that they aren't all the same kind of thing.

I agree with your comment about the fiscal policy experiment, but not with your stated timeline of 12 years. QE was a smart way out of the crisis, but we didn't tighten as we ought've when the economy got up to speed about five years ago. I think of QE as the choke on a carbureted engine; once you get things heated up, you should lean out the mixture. Meanwhile, Bernanke is still out here talking about QE as a forever tool for the Fed.

Fundamentals try to explain and predict valuations; they don't dictate them. Only supply and demand, within the constraints of the market, can control valuations. And to be pedantic, price discovery is faster and tighter today than ever before, and that's part of the reason we have so many lively derivatives markets.

The problem, as you aptly point out, is that this price does not fit any model that is blind to the rates component of equity demand. The word "untethered" is totally appropriate for what's happening in the market; there's a disconnect between price action and corporate earnings growth because there's demand for equities in general when everything else yields almost nothing.

It's more complicated than that. MediaWiki is PHP based because back when it was developed PHP was everywhere. Since then the world has moved on, but PHP still powers a huge percentage of the web via things like WordPress.

The other side to using PHP was having support in other host providers. Wikipedia is not the only installation of MediaWiki and there has been consideration in the past for those installing MediaWiki on shared hosts where you don't necessarily have root access to install things like node. Moving forward that's less of a concern because you can containerise MediaWiki (and the other services), but not even Wikimedia run that in production yet AFAIK.

However, even if they weren't budget constrained (which they aren't) unifying on a single language used by the majority of their devs isn't a bad idea, especially when the effort to port the entire stack to a new language would be unjustifiable.
