Will JavaScript frameworks take over Rails?
“Take over” assumes that Rails had anything to steal. It doesn’t. That’s the beauty of working with and for the web. The diversity and freedom of implementation choices behind the HTTP answer is infinite. So it’s not a zero-sum platform war in the sense of Android vs iOS or whatever other technological battlefield people have been indoctrinated to view the world as.
It's funny, some argued 'myths' were a tool of the brain to explain the world and are one side of a spectrum with rationality the other, but they still linger in every thought.

Ain't that the truth. The World Cup is a bigger deal than the Winter Olympics, so we can't really do the right thing.

More than 6.000 dead workers due to the World Cup, the event should be stopped to avoid more deaths in future events.

But nothing will happen, it's the sad truth of it all.
If you really want to remember tips from a video, take notes.
So why is that? Isn't this amount of surveillance basically a god tool?
I'm sure we'd all endorse anything if someone gave us a multi-million-dollar cheque for posting a few tweets and making a few media appearances - and you can do it _guilt-free_ because you know that wherever or not you accept the bloodstained money, the event is still going to go ahead, so you might as well make-bank.

Well, OP didn't really complain about government policy or repression, but rather about hostility. Even if there are no repressive aspects (but I agree with other replies that they do exist!), the behaviour would still be problematic in itself.

And it's not just an US thing, btw. Many nations perceive dealing with China as walking on eggshells.
It makes a difference. Back in my C# days, a team rewrote an internal service in a C-like fashion: structs, no properties, almost no runtime heap allocations. The application absolutely screamed. If I recall, it was 2 or more orders of magnitude faster than the app it replaced. Because it was highly used, this made a big difference, and enabled new use cases that weren’t possible previously.

You see the same thing in Go. Libraries that are zero-allocating are significantly faster than the competition.
Google Play banned my highly rated app with no real justification
My first job circa 2004 was writing an NSIS installer for a long-gone startup in the East Midlands, UK. It was not my first language, but I very much enjoyed it.
The number doesn't seem egregious relative to how many workers there are. The Josimar article says

> In August, Amnesty released a report that documented that at least 15 000 migrant workers had died since Qatar was awarded the World Cup hosting rights in 2010.

So, 15000 deaths over 11 years, or 1,363 deaths per year. Worth noting that this number does not make a distinction between people working in Qatar for the World Cup or just anyone working in Qatar.

Wikipedia says 2.3m expats as of 2017[1]. Putting the death rate at 0.59 per 1000 people per year (for 2017, the number of expats has been increasing since 2010, so the number would be higher for 2010, lower for 2021). This would put it at the very bottom of countries based on death rate[2]. (It's already at the very bottom for death rate, but here we're only looking at expats.)

TL;DR The number quoted has very little to do with the number of people working on the 2022 World Cup, and isn't really alarming.

Depends on where you live. Certainly not peanuts here.

Edit:

I know that if you spent your whole life in California it can be hard to believe that in some places junior developers make $250 a month (senior more than that, but typically less than $1k a month), so a single Windows Server license buys you four months of work of a single junior dev (however unproductive it may be), or 1-1.5 months of a senior dev's work.

In my current place of work a few years back I started a strong push towards Linux and as much FOSS as possible, and over some time (as new projects were written and some legacy stuff re-written) it resulted in a massive reduction of total operation costs.

I didn't expect any other reaction, though. You understand our realities better than us.
many of these which can be extremely difficult in imperative, can be very easy in declarative.
I've written the article with the hope that it will get someone's attention at Google and they can improve the systems and policies over there, or at very least start providing developers with actual reasons for banning their app so they can learn from their mistakes.

So please give the article a clap and help it reach the suits at Google!

There’s obvious partisanship in uk and us media, but the difference vs totalitarian states like China, is that the partisanship is in a thousand different directions. So in the US or UK you have access to all agendas and can reason for yourself about what is true. If Fox says something untrue MSNBC will point it out, if the New York Times gets something wrong it’ll be all over OAN. If AOC lies about something you’ll have Lauren Boebert screaming about it. By having a free media it allows you to form the correct view by holding your views and others up to scrutiny.

In comparison, in China if the state media decides to lie for its partisan reasons then there is no where you can go to hear the truth so you never can distinguish the truth and we have a thousand different examples of that happening.
On the other hand, I worked for a company that seemed to follow Stack Overflow's article (sparse tests, unmockable static fields) that made everything a nightmare and slowed velocity almost to a halt, and provided a brittle customer experience.

I can quite believe that caching SQL results saved time (hardly not a "best practice"). The waters become murkier when you say you can't afford basic abstractions to make things testable.

They provide no statistics on how much time their "optimisations" actually saved. Likely, their optimisations wouldn't have made a difference, as they would have been JIT'd away anyway.

I am very much opinion that if you're writing code without some sort of test, you're writing legacy code.
Lots of people only leave a review if they experience a problem, so dividing by the number of reviews might not help as much as it seems.

What would be good is to divide it by the number of sales but we don't have that data.

Shouldn't one question the current monetary paradigm if it has such a terrible track record. Why are people doubling down on the very same system through cryptocurrency?
Naively perhaps, I'd like to believe that someone like Beckham who has historically always been the face of great causes and events (UNICEF, London 2012, etc) would show some balls and actively campaign AGAINST this shit show. But instead he has taken the "if you can't beat them without trying, get paid obscene amounts of money" route.

I fear that this will become his legacy and right now, I think he's ok with that.

Sounds a lot like early spaced repetition effects (supermemo/anki) but without the extended repetitions?
A good thing with "single computer" is that you have less complexity going into it so failures will be less frequent. For a lot of cases, that will be enough. It's also easier to build a resilient system starting from a single machine than from a cluster: less components to replicate to ensure they're redundant.
I remember another article where the main developer set aside a big chunk of memory right when they started coding. When they had issues fitting everything in memory shortly before the deadline, he deleted this chunk and had no issue to deliver the project.

I think this is something we should do more today. Defining a memory budget, and staying inside.
Probably because most of the cameras aren’t hooked to anything centralised or necessarily known about. Which necessitates an enormous data gathering and combing operation to find any useful of which there might not actually be anything. Cameras aren’t magic.

It appears that you got downvoted a bit, and I’m sorry. I think that your point was well-made.

In my case, I have written infrastructure software that has, and will, change the world. It has already become a worldwide standard, and is used daily, by thousands of people around the world. It is not hyperbole to say that the software saves lives. That’s exactly why I wrote it.

I never made a dime on it. In fact, I spent thousands of dollars of my own money, and ten years of my life, shepherding it to the point where it could be taken over by a new team, and become ubiquitous. It was a difficult journey. The demographics of the users of my software are … challenging. I often weathered torrents of abuse, sabotage, and opposition, during the project. The new team will never have to suffer those particular slings and arrows. I’m an ornery, stubborn old coot, and could take it. I knew what I was signing up for, and many folks would consider me insane for doing it (they may have a point).

I’ll never get an award, and I have almost no recognition at all. Every day, I interact with people that use my software, and have no idea that I was the original author. I also deal with folks that know what I did, but don’t really understand what it took to get where we are. They seem to think that I sat down, and churned it out in a couple of months.

Not every achievement should be measured in money, and that’s great.
I also haven't fully understood the point he's making, like "A shitty person just made me suffer to play a sport, fuck the sport", like wtf
I don't know what you mean. Inflation has been incredibly low in the past 10 years meanwhile debt has to structurally go up every year because the global economy needs more dollars.

The vast majority of cameras in London are private installations, rather than something hooked up to some central system.

There are the ring of steel cameras, but that area hasn't been widened recently. TFL cameras are possibly linked into some security service, and there's a fair few of them, but they're mainly pointed at roads.

It's odd, when I think of Fascism it is such a different thing than described in this article and many others. I feel that fascism is an unholy alliance between the state and corporate interests, where the corporations support the state through private enforcement of unconstitutional laws, while the state supports the corporations through favorable policies and mandates.

It seems to me that because WWII Germany was both a fascist and racist state they have been conflated to be one in the same.

The creation of Good Information Inc. by one of the largest political donors in the world seems to me to be a far better and terrifying example of true fascism.

> In past the Chinese government didn't send large numbers of people to camps based on their ethnicity.

Before 2003 the Chinese government just randomly pull people off street and if they can't prove (i.e. by showing an ID card) they live in this city they go to a camp [1], and this happened everywhere.

Heck, even less than 20 years ago.

I’m coming back from the first really expensive vacation that my family has ever taken (to Hawaii).

For those who only read the quote "premature optimization is the root of all evil", here's the context:

"Programmers waste enormous amounts of time thinking about, or worrying about, the speed of noncritical parts of their programs, and these attempts at efficiency actually have a strong negative impact when debugging and maintenance are considered. We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%."

From some readings of Knuth, I have a feeling that he always think about efficient code.
Qatar has also very close ties to some football clubs, e.g. FC Bayern. Fans start taking notice though.

Agreed with marginalia_ru, if you can get the DB to do it, that's probably the place. if not, I'd go with

d = collections.defaultdict(int)
for item in mylist:
d[item["thing"]] += item["count"]
newlist = [{"thing": key, "count": value} for key, value in d.items()]

(I'm assuming the order doesn't matter, and the specific output format is needed. E.g. if the next step then iterates over that list and unpacks it, obviously get rid of the last line and use the dict)

There is the collections.Counter type, but I think there's not really a beneficial way of using that here.

Generally, the "there is one elegant solution" aspect of Python is widely overstated :D

Unfortunately it does seem like this is the direction football is taking. A World Cup every 2 years, some sort of exclusive Super League, etc etc. Football is a trillion dollar market with no cap in site. The fans are slowly being left behind whilst the "new money" of the Middle East and co are doing their best to takeover. They still don't seem to realise however, that football is 0 without fans.
I’ve never understood why the cost of health insurance isn’t fully deductible.
Association football, itself, in isolation, is a fine game. There's nothing inherently bad about it. If actual friends of mine want a kick-around then sure, I'm game.

But it's the culture around the sport in the UK, and greater Europe, that's awful. Remember hooligan "firms" in the 1990s? Those things don't happen in a vacuum. Chiefly, the football culture in the UK is inextricably tied to the entrenched class system, in the worst ways, unfortunately - and I haven't seen the Premier League's televised pundits ever advise their fans to maybe, perhaps, actually be good ambassadors for the sport to the rest of us.

(Okay, Michael Owen is an exception - my perception is the rest are like Eric Cantona: officially reprimanded, but we can tell people are lapping up his then abhorrent personal conduct. The same way people support Trump, I suppose).

Just a few days/weeks ago we had an extreme price hike due to high demand. High demand should only come from consuming energy in a usefull way. Mining your shitcoins for nothing is not helping at all.

You still consume energy which wouldn't need to be consumed as we do have other and much more energy friendlih systems for transaction security.

> Some people need to be rich

See the comment I responded to below. I have a hard time with that mentality, but I get it.

> I need to be craftsman

I relate to this so much. Most of my best friends are mechanics, cooks, butchers, musicians. I actually only have one friend who's a programmer, and he's a craftsman too... I know him because we drunk-coded at the same bar for a couple years. People look at programming and don't get it...(yet - they don't understand yet, in 2021, but they will in 2040) ...that it's a clock maker's job. One friend who's a mechanic builds his own engines - just glorious, gleaming machines, one piece at a time. One time I was in his shop taking a distributor apart and said my job is like this, and he looked at me like I'm nuts. No, it's like this. Taking things apart to see how they work, and figuring out how to put them together. Lines of code are just like screws and weights and this thing that flies around the middle, distributing spark, that's like a for/next loop.

My Dad was a lawyer and he said, when I was a kid, "poor people work with their hands, rich people work with their minds." Well, I told him when I was 13 I would rather make something with my hands because it's honest. Programming, done right, is honest work - no better or worse than a creative mechanic's job. And it can be very artisinal in a way that satisfies your aesthetic sense and your sense of a job done beautifully. I don't think lawyers get that type of satisfaction.
