>Businesses are not going to put iPads on peoples’ desks any time soon, nor are they going to ditch Microsoft Office in favor of Google Docs.

That's interesting, because at MPoW we've been using Google Docs for several years and at most meetings I attend, you can look around the table and not see a single laptop; everyone is using a tablet or smartphone.

It's amazing how fast it's changed too. When I started here ~4.5 years ago, Office documents shared on network drives or emailed back and forth was the norm and if you had a meeting of n people, you can be sure there would be n laptops around the table.

If you're poor and need to improve your financial situation, sure. But now that I have a solid middle-class job I don't personally feel a need to earn even more money. Now I spend my incremental time on things that generally don't earn money: research side projects, writing Wikipedia articles, contributing to open-source projects, etc.

In many cases I've found trying to monetize content makes it worse. Not always, but sometimes the right choice from an intellectual perspective is to improve an existing article somewhere else, whether by editing Wikipedia, or sending in corrections to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, or sending a documentation-related pull request to a project on GitHub. The alternative, if I put monetization first, would be to always find a way I could "own" the content: it needs to be published on my domain, where I get the credit and SEO and personal-branding out of it, and can put AdSense or Amazon Affiliate links on it. Instead of fixing the Wikipedia article or the docs, write a linkbaity blog post mocking their errors, for example, and submit it to HN. Not as constructive, but many people do exactly that. Decisions that are good for monetization don't always magically align with non-monetary goals like improving publicly accessible information, and sometimes they're in direct conflict. In that case, I don't think it's necessarily laudable to prioritize monetization.
There's a lot of binding technologies together in games programming nowadays too.

Component oriented programming makes it rather easy to pick a technology, make a component out of it and adding it into your system.

Especially if you use a prebuilt/popular component system like Unity3d you can almost just click and drag technologies together.

It's true that if you need any of your components to perform extraordinarily then you'll have to dive deep and become an expert, or make sure you find an expert to help you.

Ofcourse, if you want to do everything yourself, then you might have to learn everything yourself , and you'll have to master a lot of things. It is true that games programming covers (almost?) every field in computer science. I guess this is the result of games basically being simulations of (part of) the universe.

Node.js debugging with node-inspector and StrongLoop
from [1]: "In React, you simply update a component's state, and then render a new UI based on this new state. React takes care of updating the DOM for you in the most efficient way."

So you don't actually do DOM mutation yourself, nor do you "update" the DOM in response to events on models that changed. You think in terms of "pseudodom", not actual DOM, so if any state changes or an event fires you can just redraw all the pseudodom instead of worrying about finding the right place in the dom that you need to update.

A class on dynamic equity splits for Co-Founders
Awhile ago I realized that it was extremely detrimental to think of myself first and foremost as a "smart" person. Not because that self-image was directly harmful to me in business/the real word (though I don't doubt that it was), but because it reinforced very bad behavior on my part.

In order to protect my image of being smart, I would avoid situations where I could make mistakes or appear less intelligent than I thought I was. And so I wouldn't try new things, and I would stay away from any activities that could "out" me as not actually being smart. Its really a vicious cycle, and the result was that I was far less productive & useful than I should have been.

Now I try to project an image of being hard-working instead. It frees me from having to constantly worry about messing up -- all that matters is that I get the job done. And I think I'm much better for it.

PART TWO

There was one thing that really bothered me at the time,
which was the inclusion of XML in the language. I wasn't
too fond of XML, didn't think it would last, and thought
it a sign of thoughtless trend-following on the part of
the language designers, but I liked pretty much
everything else.

Good news: You'll be able to delete the scala-xml.jar file. Done. No XML support in the language.

Then structural types were introduced, and a big red
warning light went off in my head.

They are a simple generalization and remove arbitrary restrictions on what can be a type and what can't be a type. A win for consistency.
They will become crucial if you want to interoperate with prototype-based languages (JavaScript for instance), so I think the language designers made all the right bets back then when we see the hype around JavaScript today.
I don't use structural types much, but a lot of people seem to so excited about them that they designed the whole language around that concept (Golang).

I then noticed that scaladoc only made an API even harder
to understand, but I thought this could be resolved.
Scala became the only language in existence whose
automatically-generated documentation ensured that an API
could never be understood.

I don't understand what you mean. Could you explain?

I think I'm a pragmatist, but leaving aside the total
incoherence of Scala, it has become so inelegant, so
ungraceful, that I wouldn't use it for that reason alone,
especially considering that most modern (and non-modern)
languages value elegance.

As someone who actually uses the languages and undertakes a lot of comparisons with other languages to better understand the state of the art and existing solutions before designing APIs, I totally disagree with that.
There are not many languages out there which consider consistency and elegance to be as important as in Scala. In Scala things can and will be rejected or removed for failing to live up to these standards alone.

I don't completely agree with the author's premise. However, there are enough people who act like lab rats; they spend their life optimizing certain parameters: becoming really good coders, mathematicians, getting high scores on standardized IQ tests. They however also utterly fail at solving life's problems (relationships at work, elsewhere). The label "intelligent" as applied to these people doesn't necessarily always mean they get things done.

9 Things that will change your life forever
That's the thing - Being a Luddite is the delusion that you are able to halt technological progress for your own benefit. Being a parent is about guiding the personal progress of an actual human being.

It's at the discretion of the parent to decide what influences a child can or should be able to deal with. I don't see the use of this bear in that context - I think it's dangerous if introduced too early and rather useless when introduced later. (And I have similar "too early" reservations towards smartphones, or anything with a screen, really.)

I think that the quality of life a human (first child, then adult) enjoys is based on getting the basics right first - everything else builds upon the fundamentals of movement and perception, thought and expression that you learn in your first years. I've seen a couple too many children who are astoundingly incapable of commanding their own body, leave alone understanding their own person in context of the society they are in. I have enjoyed a lot of time for myself in contact with my surroundings - I got a lot of exposure to the elements - and that's what I want to pass on.

I think what you get from that is a calm sense of being connected to reality and only from that comes the ability to properly understand abstract concepts like smart phones or computers. If you lack that connection, you might still excel in the use of these devices, but there will always be something missing. You would be disconnected from reality and thus always try, but fail to connect with it fully.

Some manage to claim that connection back (the usual stories you read about people travelling to India come to mind), but like learning languages very late in life, the effort is a lot higher and you might find yourself wondering how your life could have been had you connected earlier.
Could it charge over HDMI? I suppose that's the key question.
It's hard to take an article seriously that has so many fallacies.

For example, lifestyle is a choice. Whether you're bootstrapping your own start-up, or working as a highly paid employee, you freely choose how to spend your money. Lifestyle inflation may be real, but it's almost entirely avoidable. It's a matter of discipline.

Secondly, the article is comparing the risk of losing an investment vs. the risk of losing a source of income. Very different things. If you invest countless hours and tens of thousands of dollars in a failed start-up, that is gone. Hundreds of thousand of dollars in opportunity cost down the drain. If you lose your job, what do you really lose? No, you get to keep all the money you earned so far, and chances are, you're even getting a nice severance package. And you go out and find another job within a few months at the most. Where's the "risk"? You're not putting anything on the line.

I'm not saying that being employed is superior to starting your own business. It's just that this sounds more like self-justification, presenting a skewed picture.

Library author here - thanks! The interactive tutorials borrow very heavily from Knockout (in fact Knockout was a big source of inspiration all round).

It was initially designed to scratch my own itch - I'm a newsroom developer at the Guardian, where we turn around projects with fairly tight deadlines, so I guess you could say it's optimised for that.

A service like this would be much appreciated from the market. I can imagine the challenges are convincing banks to signup and to convince them of the value of a service that isn't directly consumer facing.

If they had a few key early adopters that could strengthen the sales pitch, but it becomes more difficult when trying to sign on the smaller banks and credit unions. I know a software developer at my local CU and he can't say enough how backwards, slow, and politically motivated decision making is in the company.

I argue this is the nature of every hard problem. A math PhD involves dealing with ambiguity, broken proofs and rejection. Recalibrating yourself to become aware of social cues is not hard. It is also not simple. It is not a matter of not overthinking (As much as you choking in a tech interview is not a matter of overthinking).

"Ring of steel" was the term used for the road blocks, barbed wire and railings around central Belfast in the 1970s, when bombings there were common [1]. In this case it was literally steel barriers encircling the city centre. It was not a continuous ring of steel, as buildings formed parts of the barriers.

It's also the term used for the covert ring of CCTV cameras and checkpoints erected in the City of London [2] in 1993 in response to bishopsgate bombing. It shares the property of encircling the centre of a city for security purposes, but is not literally a ring of steel. At one point people would have recognised this as a reference to Belfast's situation.

Not at all, these discussions are useful. I think React and Ractive actually handle this in a similar way - Ractive maintains a 'parallel DOM' (which is basically the result of populating the parsed HTML template with data), and items within the parallel DOM are responsible for updating the real DOM as and when necessary.

So both React and Ractive are concerned with doing the least amount of DOM manipulation possible.
