> Not at least with HTML 4 and XHTML. HTML didn't harbour presentation information. It told the browser the structure of the document.

I disagree. Unlike JSON which is truly presentation agnostic, the position of the HTML elements always did affect the layout and some designs were pretty much impossible to achieve without having to move HTML elements around. Despite the popular claim to the contrary, HTML was always part of the presentation layer.

Well, this sounds bad.

A few months ago GitHub banned access of Iranian developers (and devs who live in a few other countries) to private repositories and gists and now, with actions like this, even if it's by accident, they are threatening our chance of collaboration to public open-source repos because maintainers would be afraid that if they accept our contribution they may face consequences.
I think this issue is analogous to the politician one. As a politician/CEO you only care about what happens under your term and to get re-elected.

Maybe Executives should be paid with very long vesting schedules like 10 yrs? (vests even if no longer employed...)

Classic MacOS was a disaster once multitasking became a needed feature, and Copland (its in-house replacement) wasn't going anywhere. The only other option would have been to buy Be, to get BeOS. That could have worked too, BeOS was great (and its modern clone Haiku is fun too), but it was clear Apple needed something from outside.

So, all companies are lawful because they are required to be. That's a bit of a tautology, no? It also doesn't play out in reality.

Maybe they keep the company running so they can do secondary offerings and an IPO, so the investors and executives get paid, is the motivation to do unlawful things. Maybe it's okay to break the law now, cause when they are bigger and public they'll go back and fix it - breaking the law is a cost of doing business. Maybe they were so focused on signing the deal that they didn't want to hear from compliance. It's not the first time legal / compliance was railroaded or disregarded at a startup, in the name of doing something great. In the startup world, that's kind of a badge of honor.

Swift is a great example, but don't forget that is essentially funded by Apple. It would look very different if it would be a true community effort.

Rust I'm not very familiar with: how much of their funding is dependent on Mozilla, at least for the core developer(s)?

Also, a language + a standard library has a (much!) smaller surface comparing to Wolfram's vision.

The technical needlessness of this decision has been thoroughly reviewed in this thread; therefore this is just a fear-based decision because of the panic. Why should anyone tolerate pointless moves like this to appease people that are panicking?

It's not necessarily about taking debt to buyback their stock. It is about free cash flow. Here are some facts:

"As a group, the six [major US] airlines spent 96% of their free cash flow on stock buybacks over the past 10 full years through 2019."

"Boeing’s free cash flow for 10 years totaled $58.37 billion, while the company spent $43.44 billion, or 74% of free cash flow, on stock repurchases."

This seems to be referring to the immediately pulled journal saying some parts of the virus were very similar to HIV, at least that's the only Indian or German researcher based thing I've heard. That wasn't the start of the hoax, the "open speculation" was basically just that engineering this was possible, and the blame for these hoaxes does not rest on the Chinese.

It's not, and I was referencing two very specific claims you were making. When you feel we are encountering an unprecedented level of misinformation, why do you think that your information is untainted?
It has rigorously zero to do with beaten cliches like "trickle down". I'm stating the fact that these employees are already receiving their salary from these companies and thus, obviously, their livelihood is already ensured and covered by them. Their paycheck is already signed and paid by these employees. There is no magic or hand-waiving.
I wish they would differentiate on connectivity. Like usb-c ports for video and power delivery, Bluetooth 5.0, WiFi 6, usb-c rechargeable controllers, etc.
Yeah, this looks like a FUD hit job, possibly by entities made obsolete by a move to AWS.

There are just too many solutions to egress optimization to mention (CDN edge caching, rate limit, throttling, tiered discounts, multi-year agreements).

Surely the problem is that there are always going to be companies willing to accept the risk of disruption. Those that can't accept that risk will have to pay more to mitigate and there costs will be higher. So it's a race to the bottom.
It's not an invented problem. In Spain, ISPs like Telefonica and Vodafone are posting tweets are telling newspapers that people need to use the Internet with responsibility [0]. They also passed a law yesterday that allows ISPs to close connections if they know they're being used to spam the network.

Maybe in Germany is different because people are more used to work from home or just being at home while watching Netflix but Spanish people like to go out a lot and now the network needs to serve all these people as well.

>> The data are not showing that 20% of age 20-44 are hospitalized (which is how I read your question).

That is clearly not what I say. I quoted the CDC report that clarifies that a) 20% of those hospitalised were in the age range 20-44 and 18% in the range 45-54 and that b) that is only those for whom there is age data, which were only a small proportion of all confirmed cases. Please give me the benefit of the doubt that I know how to read English. At the very least I must have read and understood the passage I quoted!

The article is pulling the CDC data this way and that and tries to argue that "younger adults make up [a] big proportion of coronavirus hospitalisations from the US", but there is no reason to base such a claim on the CDC data and there is no such claim in the CDC report. The Times article simply mashed up some of the data in the CDC report to make a sensational title. My comment suggests that, if they want to attach a probability to the hospitalisation of different age ranges, they should not try to aggregate the CDC age ranges just to get to that "almost 40%" and instead use the best approximation that can be derived from the CDC data, which is about 20% for those in each age range, 20-44 and 45-54.

And you are pulling my comment this way and that to show ... I'm not sure what. Do you agree with the article, that "younger adults make up [a] big proportion of coronavirus hospitalisation from the US"? If not, what exactly are you disagreeing with in my comment?
That's what they say now. Give them a few weeks and they'll start squealing. Every ISP oversubscribes for consumer segments. In the UK I guess not enough people are quarantined.

"Just received word from an ICU doctor at a small NY hospital: They are officially out of ventilators and are now double venting patients with COVID (using the same ventilator for 2 infected patients)."
Yeah, but nobody trusts ISPs to prioritize traffic; that's what the decade of net neutrality discussion has been about. If they start prioritizing Zoom over Netflix now, it just opens the door to continuing that prioritization (for pay) after the crisis.
I don't think your problem is that it's not open-source.
Your problem is marketing and positioning.

For one thing, the copy on the website is not commercially oriented at all. I sense your earnestness, but copy needs to be clear and compelling. A reader needs to come out of it thinking - YES! this is just what I needed. You start off by mentioning a combination of two tools I've never heard of, and why would I even care, I'm reading about YOUR thing.
Look up Pedro Cortés on LinkedIn - he does a lot of video reviews of SaaS landing pages.

Two - and just as important - the use case is so abstract, you're counting on your users to imagine how they would use it. Instead, for a knowledge organizing tool, it should be pitched at the challenges people regularly have trying to organize knowledge. (For example, having a gazillion links and tabs. I could imagine this as something really helpful to solve that problem, especially if you can then export it all in some convenient structure [CSV, JSON].)
You've got the core of a product, but it's not quite a product yet, that's my impression at least. It could be though!

Exactly, this is what has me so confused. The value I get from containers is the series of steps that create the container, not the underlying implementation. I don't really care what substrate the software sits in, be it a unimicronanofirecrackerkernelVM or LXC or a chroot jail, besides security implications of isolation escapes. I just like having a deterministic Dockerfile-like file. If I can keep that, sure, I'll buy into your Containers But Not But Really Cloud Native For Actual schtick and use it, especially if it actually is more secure (I'm sure it very likely is). It's the abstraction and model that makes containers easier to work with, not the implementation.

I find it very irritating and deceptive that the author wildly equivocates between containers and Kubernetes almost every sentence. And it's incredibly condescending that they suggest people buying the container Kool-Aid are simply too young to have done development and operations on regular servers/VMs, "duh!" Or that they're just trying to pad their resumes. No, I've had plenty of years of experience doing that, and I find containers far simpler to develop with, deploy, maintain, and update. And I've never used Kubernetes.

As most others have said, this comes across as extremely patronizing and demeaning marketing FUD from a company so certain that they're obviously right and almost everyone else is mind-numbingly wrong that even if that's actually the case, no one is ever going to believe them; and very justifiably. This is not how you do marketing, or write prose or communicate in general.
There's probably several ways around this. One could just be making everything interactable in a "drag it around" sense, but only some things actually able to interact with other objects or able to be placed in a bin for later.

Although, come to think of it, game design that compels you to put every random thing in a bin because "it might be handy later" is one of the things I hate about open world games and their crafting/inventory systems.

Alternatively, they could just make you double-tap to interact and single tap to take a closer look or something. 3D touch had some interesting possibilities as well.

I think there are strong Gall's-Law, worse-is-better and business reasons why a proper GUI platform could never have crossed the chasm to universally cross-platform, on-demand delivery, with no single vendor owning it.
It’s a classic leaky abstraction, you will need that control at some point. And I say that as a heavy user of Docker and lighter user of Kubernetes.

Jokes aside, probably you're experiencing the part in learning a programming language where you can think what yu want to do but don't understand it enough to express it correctly. Usually the solution to this is more practice in said language, which is when pet projects come in handy.

Maybe you can try implementing something that already exists from scratch? That way you can always look for help online implementing it, if you need it, but you get to excercise the language a bit.

This way it takes effort and time, for sure, but it'll help you get a good grip.

My opinion is that while a little more verbose it is just as useful for obtaining information or performing basic actions. Especially since it allows you to use the same cli and actions to maintain most network related actions rather than multiple tools with varying commands.

> It took me 2 weeks to understand react, and much more to actually write decent code with it. Practically, react is very unproductive without something like create-react-app because you have to take so many decisions about it for every new project.

I won't argue that bootstrapping a React project is more complicated than a Vue project. I will argue that React's developer ergonomics are much better.

> Everybody has a boilerplate one of course. Nothing is standardized, so the ecosystem is not reusable.

Not sure what you mean. We use CRA at my company and I can comfortably drop into projects I've never seen before with complete confidence.

> Simple things like placing a setInterval()/clearInterval() at the right place

This doesn't make sense to me. The pattern for setting/clearing an interval with the class-based React API is identical to Vue. With React's hook API it becomes even easier.

> or conditionally settings classes on stuff is not straightforward

How? It's just JavaScript, write a conditional. This is exactly what I'm talking about: you don't need to know how to conditionally set a class in React, you just need to know how to conditionally set a value in JavaScript. I get really tired of the "how do I do task X in Framework Y". I want to ask that question as few times as possible.

My go-to example to explain why I find React so much simpler is Vue's slots. It's an entire API that many people find confusing to replicate something that comes for free in React.
I would have thought so before but we've had multiple people killed in auto-pilot related accidents already and people still buy. Tesla will spin the news and results and probably get a settlement statement that makes them look not so bad. Especially if everyone is in the same boat and failing to get the technology working well enough. Then Tesla will simply boast at how much better they are than competitors.
The problem with the mop feature is that it completely defeats the purpose of having an unattended robot keep your whole house clean, since you have to constantly refill the water reservoir, and it can't transition between carpet and hard floors without getting water on your carpet.
I suspect robustness simply doesn’t work over periods of greater than a few years of competition by a vulnerable supplier.

A few examples:

1. the US has built up it’s oil producing capability. If the Saudi’s keep prices low, then everything will be mothballed. So the ecosystem of businesses and skilled staff supporting the US oil industry will massively degrade quite quickly. It can’t be ramped up quickly later.

2. Huawei. Massive shock of US sanctions. Can only be saved by amazing levels of support by Chinese govt.

3. Rare earth production. China took over the market, then shut down all exports. What producers were left and why did they still exist?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydroxychloroquine#Research

...

> Hydroxychloroquine and chloroquine have been recommended by Chinese and South Korean health authorities for the treatment COVID-19.[31] [32] In vitro studies have demonstrated that hydroxychloroquine is more potent than chloroquine against SARS-CoV-2 with a more tolerable safety profile.[33]

> On 16 March 2020, advisor to the French Government on COVID-19, Professor Didier Raoult, announced that a non-randomized unblinded trial[34] involving 24 patients from the south east of France supported the claim that hydroxychloroquine was an effective treatment for COVID-19.[35] The trial is yet to be peer-reviewed.[34] An amount of 600 mg of hydroxychloroquine (brand name Plaquenil) was administered to these patients every day for 10 days. They reported "a significant decrease in viral load".[34] The drug appeared to be responsible for a "rapid and effective speeding up of their healing process, and a sharp decrease in the amount of time they remained contagious".[36] 70% of patients were "considered cured", compared with 12.5% of those who did not receive hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin combination.[34] The antibiotic azithromycin - which is known to be effective against secondary infections from bacterial lung disease - led to even better outcomes. Professor Raoult said the results showed there was "a spectacular reduction in the number of positive cases" with the combination therapy. At 6 days, among patients given combination therapy, the percentage of cases still carrying SARS-CoV-2 was no more than 5%.[37][38]

> On March 17 after testing in several hospitals around Italy the Italian Pharmaceutical Agency has included hydroxychloroquine in the list of drugs with positive preliminary results for treatment of coronavirus disease 2019.[39]

----

What is strange is that azithromycin - leads to better outcomes. It is used for bacterial infections but Covid is a virus. How can this be?
I would submit that Rob Mee (founder of Pivotal Labs, former CEO of Pivotal) is one of the greatest unsung heroes of Silicon Valley. So many of the biggest success stories in tech today were either advised by him or worked with Pivotal Labs in their early stages.

I would argue that the stable syscall interfaces is one of the main drivers behind Linux success. Containers as we know them would be quite different if they needed to somehow merge the kernel version appropriate .so files into the fs. They would forever remain just sandboxes of the essentially the same distro as the host just like they are on Solaris/FreeBSD.

Also something like WSL would be impossible
