> It is possible to create pages that load fast on mobile without it.

Sure, except few people do. And Google seized the opportunity here. Most of the times, the AMP site is faster, there is real value added for the end user, and Google used that positive experience to sneak in their stuff. It would never have happened if sites were fast to begin with.

Like I always say about AMP, there are two parts to it: some sort of enforced guidelines that ensure your pages are fast. This is the good part. And there is Google stuff. But you know what, AMP is open source, so take the code, strip off the Google parts and you have a website that is even faster, and independent. That's something I've never seen done, and yet, that's probably the best for the end user.

Instead, most website owners who complain about AMP do it for the "wrong" reasons. They want to load up their site with 10 different trackers, popups and other annoyances. They don't care about your privacy or going through Google servers, in fact, they most likely already have Google tracking and ads enabled in their non-AMP site.

That's the saddest part, because of years of laziness and overzealous marketing, AMP is actually good for users.
Even if one assumes the engineers in the expensive markets are all better, there's nothing a company like Reddit does which requires a bunch top level engineers. Some of their scaling and site reliability stuff, maybe, but it'll be a small portion of their employees.

They can solve that by paying accordingly more for their top technical positions to make those jobs competitive in expensive markets.

[I'm not arguing in favour of this, btw. - just pointing out it's an easy problem to solve]

The number of companies this would be a problem for is tiny.
even if they don't mention it, GDPR still applies and yours could be an interesting approach
Is it though?

An Uber driver is likely to spend more time in a car, and therefore more likely to be in a car accident.

Is a person more likely to spend time around sick people if they’re Vitamin D deficient?

Yes it’s correlation, but correlation specifically without known other causes (Unlike the Uber example).

I would like to add that Hitler was a severe Methamphetamine addict (yes, seriously). During that time, Chocolate was laced with Meth and packaged under the name Pervitin.
That drug was the secret behind the success of the German Blitzkrieg against Poland, the soldiers just did not become tired. Of course it had the same side effects, that people became irrational and aggressive.
What the NYT wrote might very well have been true in 1922, a severe meth addiction changes people and makes them more aggressive.
Hahaha! Yeah, awesome! Woohoo
It is this for me - since it's so heavily documented and we have the schematics it's super easy to troubleshoot these machines and to build new expansions for them today.
I think you're confusing a software architect with a systems or enterprise architect.

It's true though that software architect is a vague term in our unregulated industry. Many companies never have software complex enough to need an architect; and many struggle through lack of a global plan, and just have lots of local decision making and get slower and slower over time.

I guess you and the professor live in the same idealistic, perfect, and flawless suburb, where the sun shines even at night. But the world spans beyond your happy gated hippy community and it's a cruel place.

First and foremost consider who you're up against. All those lovely people in Russia, China, NK, ..., are kept at bay precisely because they know why US ICMBs are named "Minuteman." If you put a speed bump in the way of retaliation, you'll only embolden them. Fighting against an impotent, incapable, and snared opposition is anyone's dream. Why do you think China so casually runs concentration camps today, right now? And Russia so casually annexed territory of a foreign country - which, btw, handed over their nukes to Russia in exchange for protection.

"Ignoring the fact that the value of the use of atomic bombs against Japan is heavily debated to this day..."

The dimensions of the planet is also heavily debated, but that doesn't change the facts of it. The two nukes ended the war then and there, Japan capitulated without a single soldier setting foot on the mainland. Only someone to whom empathy is an alien concept and completely out of his mind can argue that invasion would have been better. If you have the imagination, picture yourself in a boat en route to certain death, you and millions like you, having to fight for every strand of grass against an enemy that considers their (unseen) emperor a god for which they will gladly die for, because it's honorable.
Yes of course - the context of the thread is "why stay in the US"? Please don't be so pedantic.
Ban smoking and caffeine and put populations on Methamphetamine. Interesting twist
You can use "function" too.

There are 2 because JavaScript has 2 different structures for making functions; function expressions (which I chose "lambda" for) and function declarations (which I chose "function" for). See https://github.com/anko/eslisp/blob/master/doc/basics-refere... for examples.

Function declarations are statements, and you need to provide a name for the function.

Function expressions are expressions, and the name is optional.

In practice they often end up being interchangeable, but I just wanted to make sure any JavaScript is definitely representable.

It would be useful if I could import a url directly into the desktop app, without having to go through the Chrome extension. My main browser is Firefox and I understand the difficulty in developing an extension for each browser, but I expected to being able to copy the url and import it somehow into the app.

Great job in any case!

gray is not saying that at all.
I dont believe that is Apple's intention to compete directly with Google.

What Apple is doing from Day 1, were to strategically squeeze as much money from Google, or from Android Ecosystem as possible.

First is Default Search Engine Placement Rent.

Then try to use privacy to limit the Data Google could collect. Decreasing the value they get per user.

Since Apple knows all the search queries, they can now place the Answer ( Siri ) directly into your Siri Suggestions or Answers from Wiki, Weather, Sports, TV, News etc without ever touching Google.

Limiting your exposure to the Web, and Ads directly lower Google revenue.

One unintended consequence is that Google tries to increase their revenue in the mist of all that, so they now have even more ads on the search results. Which harms the Web Experience, and more people are turning to Apps.

And when people search for Apps on App Store, Guess what Apple does? App Store placement and Ads. ( Genius! ... or not. )

$10 per user per year, roughly $10B per year is enough to fund Apple's Map and Ax Chip R&D for years. And it is the sole reason why Apple are putting out Services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade and Apple News+. All of these are very low or nearly zero margin business. While App Store, Google's Payment are nearly 100% margin. ( Apple only book their 30% cut as their revenue before someone jump in with 70% being paid out as I have seen countless times on HN, Reddit and everywhere else on the web )

Without that $10B payment per year from Google, its whole Services Strategy will fail. Also one reason why Apple is pushing the IAP so hard in the recent 12 months. Google's payment used to grow as Apple's Active Users grow. But I think Apple is projecting a slow down in their Active Users count ( Mac, iPad, iPhone ) so they are starting to push IAP to further increase their Services revenue.

Frankly, patterns around SR are just materializing but there’s for example https://github.com/joshleblanc/view_component_reflex that’s maybe comparable.

CableReady is the Swiss Army knife, there’s a whole ecosystem forming around it, e.g. https://github.com/julianrubisch/futurism, a lazy loading gem by me or https://optimism.leastbad.com/, a remote form validation gem (presumably superseded by Rails 6.1/TL6, but who knows)

Since they are a less open society, we'll never really know, but it seems logical that they have been thinking about the exact same issue. Contrary to common wisdom in the USA, I've yet to see any substantial evidence that the USSR/Russia was/is hot on lobbing nukes on our heads, so it would make sense they have thought about the balance between self-deterrence and second-strike readiness.

Some argue that the Dead Hand/Perimetr system, esp. the doomsday device components, have as much the goal to chill the own guys as deter a Western first strike.
In principle, wireless chargers can have very low power use when idle; I've seen figures quoted as 0.1mW i.e. over the course of a year 0.876Wh (so ~0.0009 kWh). Of course, this will likely vary based on the specific charger in use. I don't think this is substantially different to the idle draw of a wired charger.
I don't understand why people like you keep ranting about "universal healthcare" when obviously about 50% of your country so strongly opposes it that I think it's sooner that hell freezes than US getting social healthcare.

Instead, why don't you propose alternative solutions? E.g. in Switzerland, it's illegal for your healthcare to be paid by the company, and also it's obligatory to have healthcare insurance (probably the country pays for it if you're poor). That way, you establish a thriving and competitive health insurance market, forcefully eliminate all the benefits corporations get that are unavailable to individuals, and also align interests (because individuals will be in the middle of money flow, they'll have a vested interest in getting fairly- and transparently-priced health services). This would solve most of the problems US healthcare system has, while not triggering any anti-big-government sentiments.
Naive question, could this be somehow harnessed with large sheets of some material that forms a large blanket, compressed and stored into very large containers? Since it is all in a known location, yes I know, the vast Arctic, but it appears the danger is so high that something has to be done, at least tried. The world’s popularion should all be working on this! I am terrified of what future may bring, I have a small kid myself, what are we getting the next generation into?
We live in a world where almost half of Americans have so little empathy that they are enthralled by the idea of putting non-white children in cages and the American political system is completely indifferent to the policy preferences of the average person[0].

It's beyond the bounds of reasonable probability both that a majority of Americans would develop enough empathy to support the idea of a universal social safety net and that policy elites could be motivated to implement such a consensus.

There were results from studies showing weak effects of self-protection even by "simple" surgical masks a few months ago.

Evidence seems to indicate there is such an effect - and contradicting the initial assumption that there isn't.

I disagree that it must be seen as a punishment; once you've attained your degree you no longer need to go to school, but going to school probably wasn't a punishment in the first place.

Right wing politics from wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_politics

"right-wing politics represents the view that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, or tradition."

If you define yourself as master race ... hmmm ... natural hierarchies pretty much.
Also why do they have such a big following under the right extremists and white supremacists in the US?

It’s not “correlation at best”. It’s an almost canonical example of the Bayesian error: given a reverse probability (if you’re sick => you’re 80% likely to have deficiency), people make a reverse conclusion (if you’re deficient => you’re 80% sick)

In reality (due to Bayes theorem), we need to compute the probability of being sick when having deficiency as population_with_covid (1/47 for Spain) * 80% / population_with_deficiency. If, say, there’s 60% vitamin D deficient people in Spain, it’d give us 2% chance of getting a disease if you have deficiency. Not much!
This still exists! COM serves as the foundation of modern windows apps you currently see on Windows 10 (WinRT). And still actively developed in its form as WinRT.

COM sadly has a number of unfortunate characteristics though: it's quite complex to learn and it's not very secure actually (de-serialization of complex types in C anyone?)

But I think it's a wonderful technology.

This is so insane and so tragic. The anguish these people are going through right now is unconscionable. And the people doing this are truly the scum of the earth.

It also raises the question whether certain records just ought not to be digitized, ever. I saw a therapist a few years ago. I asked her at the start, while reviewing her Ts&Cs, about the service she used to store her client data. It was a very secure online service, she assured me. Yeah right, I thought. I asked her to keep my records on paper in her locked filing cabinet instead, and she agreed. I would really recommend the same course of action to anyone.
It's not bureaucracy, it's monopoly (or something so close to it to be functionally the same).
The former example was much easier for me to understand than the latter, even if it wasn't factored well. But I'm assuming that the functions aren't mucking about with global state or something equally distasteful.

Nit: There aren't hundreds of countries that have zero presence of Apple hardware because there aren't hundreds of countries in the world. Depending on how you count, the are about 195 countries in the world today. I think you need at least 200 to say "hundreds" and even then it's a stretch.

That is because what he wrote is not most or actual managerial job. Yes, managers needs good social skills. But those are not defined as "be pleasant to all the people all the time". It is more of "be able to negotiate and push for what you want when you wont be punished for it". Accomplishing more and more wont get you there. Guessing right when to demand what you want and going for it, including leaving when current company is not cooperating, is what gets you there. Even as real manager of multiple people, others will try to stack more and more on your team. And you have to negotiate and push back - but not when the person you are pushing back would retaliate.

Make following exercise: how many managers you know are actually spending much time with "helping people solve their problems" or "patiently answering dumb questions"? Managers I know spend some time with it, but frankly, much less then analysts and not much more developers.

Another exercise: Do you know managers that are unpleasant around, arrogant or misinterpreting people? Do you know managers who are actually not good at all at communicating down chain? Because I know a lot.

what the exercises show is that none of that pleasant communicating to all has to do with who is actually successful as manager or selected for management.
I have, at times, suggested alternatives. Such as "We should start by expanding existing military benefits to cover all former military personnel."

I'm not ranting. Studies show that access to affordable health coverage helps prevent homelessness, for example. It's a known best practice that works in a number of developed countries.

No it's not. However, they didn't send a cease-and-desist letter to the users that installed the plugin. They sent the letter to the researchers that built the plugin that uses the service Facebook offers in a way that is against Facebook's wishes. Therefore, technically, the letter is going to the correct party and for the right reasons.

Mind, I'm saying 'technically'. Ethically, I think Facebook (and other big social tech) should be researched more. In legal ways, this is how they should handle this.

All beings so far have created something beyond themselves. Do you want to be the ebb of that great tide, and revert back to the beast rather than overcome mankind? What is the ape to a man? A laughing-stock, a thing of shame. And just so shall a man be to the Overman: a laughing-stock, a thing of shame. You have evolved from worm to man, but much within you is still worm. Once you were apes, yet even now man is more of an ape than any of the apes.

The issue with this "only the present matters" shallow take is that the imagined future does matter in terms of the present. In other words, your imagined future influences your actions in the present, often to such a degree that it actually forms the future. If you discard these imagined futures, you end up with a "Eh, I have no agency anyway, why bother with difficult things?" and slide into an apathetic, presentist hedonism.

The game is about constructing imagined futures which are productive and optimistic, not simply checking out entirely.
