The overcomplication (relative to what could be) is due to boilerplate and poorly defined convention for anything but the canonical todo app. It's early days.

There are some frameworks using some form of the Flux spec like Fluxxor and Reflux, but they're not opinionated or complete enough to hit the ground running.

The author of Fluxxor, for example, is himself working out where to put very basic functionality like network service calls.

In the react-router project, there's not an obvious way to either render from server or refetch data on route changes.

This is all very basic functionality for a medium to large project. It will feel like you're in the weeds after a couple of days of development.

We need a Flux++ framework with some stronger opinions, closer to Ember or Angular in scope.

> I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up hurting tech development in Ireland in the long term.

I'm not sure there is much tech development to hurt.

"The talent pool here is much smaller than that of Silicon Valley. The single most important aspect of Silicon Valley is that it’s where many great people choose to live. Stripe’s employees come from Honduras, Kenya, India, Sweden, Canada, Austria, and more—but they’ve all chosen to live in Silicon Valley. Because Ireland has fewer of these immigrants, Irish start-ups are forced to either hire from a much more limited group, or to try to convince people to move here. (A third option is to have a geographically distributed team from the start; this route is also quite tough.)"

I asked because the problem with the Node community is that everyone creates a new framework instead of using/improving what already exists. You don't seem to have a good reason for creating a new framework, other than not knowing about the other tools or understanding the reasoning for the decisions they've made.

There are tons of absolutely excellent, battle-tested Node frameworks that do all the things you want coServ to do, and they've been around for a long time now. Express[1] is hugely popular, and it even forms the basis of other frameworks (like Sails[2]).

And, regarding your slide: Node doesn't need its own Rails because it isn't often used the same way Ruby is.

When you do want to create a Rails-like project, you can easily start out with Express, Tower[3], Geddy[4], or Sails. You just add components as you go using npm. Need ORM? Just plug it in.

With your own framework, you're not going to have nearly as many users. That means it won't be tested, hardened, and improved as much as the existing, popular frameworks. It also means that people who inherit your code will have to learn yet another framework to figure out how to maintain it.

Side note: creating dynamic HTML/CSS/JS with JavaScript isn't a good idea because it isn't portable and encourages mixing of intents. If you use Jade[5], SCSS (which you seem not to like for some reason), or LESS[6], you can reuse the views with pretty much any other server-side language.

Actually, the governments are struggling with deficits because they spend more than they make.

I'm not claiming companies shouldn't pay the proper tax, but that 2.4% tax also includes donations, employing people (which also provide tax) and what not which they can write off.

What really needs to happen, is that governments stop spending more than they make. Sure they can increase taxes, but they will also try to increase spending (defeating the purpose).
Localize.js is fully compatible with all DOM-modifying frameworks (Backbone, Angular, etc). Localize.js doesn't actually replace existing DOM elements, rather it simply changes the existing elements' contents as to not interfere with bindings.

We've also spent a ton of time making sure there's zero visual flicker as the DOM changes take place. We have a bunch of companies using it to translate Angular and Backbone apps (for example, http://venzee.com/ and https://www.verbling.com).
The EU promotes fiscal and regulatory competition and mobility of people, companies, and capital since many years. But as soon as there's true competition, the bigger ones (with plenty of wasteful spending) don't work on themselves but bully the smaller competitors into compliance.

The decision to standardize controls and use fly-by-wire was made for practical reasons. The Airbus philosophy was to use fly-by-wire to make different airplanes of different sizes handle the same, reducing the requirement for pilot training when moving between models.

That in itself doesn't explain the averaging design choice, but it does explain why they decided on the particular fly-by-wire design they have, where in normal law the stick inputs don't have a 1-to-1 correspondance with control surface deflections (like you have on a small airplane for instance).
I pretty much want to stick to this minority in hiring. I don't know how to get useful work out of anyone else.

Hmmm... after very quickly looking at Globalize, I'd say there are two things about formatjs.io that I see as main differences:

* Integrations with Handlebars, Dust, and React hopefully make formatjs.io easy to use (since people are already using one of these).

* Focus on the ICU message format, which is fairly simple yet fairly expressive. (Professional translators should hopefully be familiar with this syntax, and it's actually fairly straightforward for us engineers to use.)

One thing that looks interesting (to me) about Globalize is the way the latest/freshest CLDR data is loaded.

The way I look at it is that soft skills, such as those taught in an English (or any other language) program, act as multipliers for non-soft (hard? solid?) skills. Without them, a STEM major can still be effective. But a pure soft skills major will not be very effective. Zero times X is zero.

What would it have been like if you had not studied CS, and graduated with just an English degree? Well, we have a fairly good idea: just look at pure English degree holders and how they are faring in today's economy. Most of them are underemployed and overworked as they work multiple jobs in the service sector to make ends meet.

You, on the other hand, were able to use what you learned in your English program to boost your effectiveness in software engineering. But make no mistake: software engineering is the real, solid foundation of your career. Not English. English was useful, but only in combination with your technical knowledge.
I've been writing Go for the past couple weeks and have really enjoyed it. My day jobs is in JavaScript land all day long, and while I really love JS I was looking for something more.

I find long sentences make me lose the nuance unless I devote a lot of attention, like reading a textbook. I don't think it's about the length itself but the point of view or something. It seems like long sentences are a byproduct of a very removed style of writing. I associate it with old fashioned professorial essay writing. Almost like a dictionary.

I think a more narrative or opinionated style is easier to follow because you can "see" the writer. He's trying to tell us that the new book has a different perspective than the old one and how that difference emerges. 'The new book is different from the old one, here's why.' He's almost trying to contain the (contrasting) perspective of the previous book and some more information about the author within the definition of the new book. 'The new book contrasts with the last book in its...'

The narrator just uses shorter sentences. 'The word philanthropist is usually used to describe ___...' Usually used to describe ___, the word philanthropist..' You can tell which sentence will be more complicated.
> Any other would've been rioting in the streets by now.

This seems likely because is absolute terms the current situation is a relatively comfortable one. While being underemployed, having a huge debt load, high cost of living and observing corruption clearly sucks, if you are still housed clothed and fed, if you still have general liberty and democratic enfranchisement (albeit perhaps seemingly with less impact) you are in a generally good shape by any historical standard. The costs of civil unrest are high. Direct injustice needs to occur (outside of a mob situation), social injustices just don't seem sufficient.

I can only hope. App stores are a horrible thing for developers-- you are utterly beholden to the app store and a rule change could destroy your business. They're also a horrible thing in the long run for all of us, since they lead us down a path toward a computing ecosystem where true universal computing is prohibited to ordinary users and only signed code will run.

The convenience factor is real, but it could be addressed by a better app installation and upgrade model. Apple is already way ahead there by encouraging all components of most apps to live in their .app "folder-file." What if the OS had baked-in support for update feeds from the app's developer?

The security factor though is a bit of a tragedy. Open desktop OSes have serious security issues around the installation of software. Instead of solving those issues in a way that does not degrade capability or restrict freedom, OS vendors have decided that it's easier and cheaper to sidestep them by just using the app store model and forcing all code to be signed. Your OS is no more secure... they're just limiting what can run on it. It's part security theater and part just punting on the problem.

Maybe if the app store model fails on the high end we'll get real solutions to these problems.
Can't handle the truth it seems.
Thanks for the downvotes.

Reminds me of Nock (the abstract machine for Urbit). Nock handles data as either base-two arbitrary-precision integers (i.e. bitstrings) or cons cells. There's no string type or integer type; both are just untagged streams of ones and zeroes. Basically, they're what some languages call "symbols" or "atoms" or "interned strings": where in, say, Erlang you'd have either the atom 'hello' or the list-of-codepoints "hello" or the binary-string <<"hello">>, in Nock the VM would only know that it's holding onto the number 448378203247 (i.e. 0x68656c6c6f—the bitstring ASCII representation of the characters for "hello".)

In Nock, instead of beta reduction privileging certain types (e.g. symbols, closures) as having special meanings at the head of a cons cell, Nock just defines a mapping between integers and functions. Effectively, Nock is a Lisp-2: the f in (f x) and the f in (g f) have different meanings.

In fact, in Nock, both the meaning of the f in (g f), and the meaning of the f in (g (f x)), are entirely determined by g—you could think of this as every Nock function being a hygenic macro, though it's more than that. This seems dangerous, but Nock is supposed to be a "VM target language" only: the source languages that compile to it are left to define their own "platform semantics" by restricting and making guarantees on how arguments to functions in those languages will be evaluated (eagerly/lazily, early/late-bound, pre-beta-reduced like a function or post-beta-reduced like a macro, etc.) They're also left to define dynamic/lexical scoping rules, by leaving the g the responsibility of resolving the f—and the x, if it wants—in (g (f x)).
Especially if there's support for jquery-bound events as current inspectors are kinda useless for those (they link to jquery's internal binding functions)
Cool site! If I signed up for it, and exchanged my web development services for e.g. someone painting my house, I wonder how I'd settle that with my government. Just doing it, and not writing it up as something taxable would be illegal, so do one just make up an amount and then pay the taxman a % of that amount?

Hi Andrew ;).

I've never dealt with the new OpenEXR 2.0 deep stuff, but looking at the spec (http://www.openexr.com/openexrfilelayout.pdf page 13) the Deep Tiled stuff seems to totally be ready for this. I would have guessed that there might have been some global compression option that wouldn't be workable, but the design clearly does this all per tile instead.
If this is the reason to finally add generics to Go, all the better, and a lot of people puzzled by the community's copy&paste attitude to code reuse might reconsider the language.

Also, this would require Google to finally polish up the Android NDK, which would be great even for non-Go users.
This is absolutely horrible and shows complete lack of respect for copyright. It should be taken down immediately.
The companies in question are only there because the Irish government effectively legalised a form of tax evasion. These companies are not paying their fair dues, and their employees are also indirectly profiting from it. Can't say I feel sorry for your friends - their free ride is over and they'll have to join the global job market on a more equal footing with the rest of us who pay our fair share of taxes.

They do have a switch to override controls on airbus planes. But of course, that's not much use when both pilots are in panic mode.

AFAIK they could see how the controls were manipulated on the FDR, and I think both pilots actually applied nose-up inputs for some time.

Still, I'd wager that if you pick a random Mozart piece it's got just as high a likelihood of quality as a random Bowie track.

Secondly, I suspect that the situation whereby musicians these days aren't expected to pen a large quantity of compositions is one of the prime reasons for the mysterious shortage of Mozartesque prodigies.
Three criticisms, in descending order of importance:

1) The length of these excerpts goes a bit beyond what is typically considered fair use. You're pretty much reprinting the entire articles. So you may run into copyright infringement claims.

2) It looks like you're scraping the content, and your scraper isn't up to the task. One of the excerpts reads: "Your email has been sent. An error has occured and your email has not been sent. Please try again. • You can't enter more than 20 emails. • You must enter the verification code below to send. • Invalid entry: Please type the verification code again."

3) Borrowing the multicolumn text layout predominant in print is great when the columns all fit on the screen, but I found myself having to constantly scroll up-down-up-down-up-down to read these.

So, in sum, you're only presenting the top stories successfully some of the time; when you are successful, you're infringing on copyrights; and the layout is not actually cleaned for readability.
