There's at least a fourth even more removed culture, the plc programmer who is even more pragmatic than the software developer. He cares about the program about as much as the data scientist. It's just there to do the job.
Let's just look at the predictable consequences of this move:

1) Banks and other corporations will never lend money to poor people again. Full stop. If there is a chance that the government will write off that debt (effectively stealing future earnings from banks) for these loans, banks just won't issue them. Say goodbye to educational loans, healthcare loans, car loans. Say goodbye to home loans and mortgages. If you're poor, you just became a ward of the state. And you thought being in debt was bad...

2) If a legitimate institution do want to lend money to poor people, interest rates will skyrocket to compensate for this additional government-cancellation risk. If they skyrocket above usury laws, then legitimate institutions will no longer be in the market and the job of lending at-risk capital will turn to the black market. Look out for loan sharks and indentured servitude, including sex slavery, on the rise in Croatia in the future.

3) The money has to come from somewhere--it isn't free. By canceling $31M in debt, the government is causing $31M in losses to corporations and institutions that were owed that money. That means $31M less in spending, economic growth, job creation, not to mention taxes, which will have to go up to compensate for the loss. These taxes (or inflation) will hit the poorest people while the rich horde more money or offshore it to prevent it being taken away.

4) Lending is the foundation of economic growth, especially for the poor, by allowing borrowers to leverage their limited assets in exchange for future earnings. All things being equal, people will borrow money smartly or stupidly, but the consequences, good or bad, are faced by the people who borrow. If the government cancels debt, it is incentivizing bad borrowing and making it harder for good borrowers to get the capital they need.

It's the worst kind of pandering to the voters with long-term destructive consequences to the people of Croatia.

In other words, exactly what you'd expect from politicians. Keep up the good work!

Correct or not, the articles thesis is more like you can't know which corporations to trust with archiving, therefore you can't (or shouldn't) trust any. It's not possible to determine, a priori, when or if Google will decide that archiving is no longer interesting.

Apparently reports of the demise of googles archive are greatly exaggerated, although the fact that they are plausible represents the danger.

I share your instincts, but need to defend the policies. It's important to have a bankruptcy mechanism. Otherwise it's a back-door mechanism to create slavery. By having a predictable bankruptcy regime, lenders can price in the probability of bankruptcy.

Limited liability is a similar issue. It would be convenient if we didn't have corporations and everybody conducted business as themselves. But the experience has been that the trade-off of limited-liability is worth it. You get more growth in a country with it than one without it.

Not a Facebooker so I haven't worked with GraphQL per say (sad face), but a quick-and-dirty way to do this type of deep data fetching on an SQL database is to fetch one layer at a time: do a breadth-first search on the parsed GraphQL, and at the end of each layer you should have enough data in API-server memory to know the IDs of everything in the subsequent layer. Rails has largely switched to doing this rather than deep joins. Given that the depth is based on how many layers deep your GraphQL is, rather than the number of records, you avoid the N+1 problem without needing to switch to a graph database, and there's a relatively constant number of DB hops required. The main caveat I see is that cursor-based pagination is hard to emulate in SQL without persistent database connections... not sure if there's a scalable way to do this while keeping the GraphQL endpoint stateless.

Having experimented with neo4j a year ago, I would concur that it hasn't been battle-tested for use as a high-availability database for web apps; it was used much more for offline analytics AFAIK. Thingdom did some REALLY cool things using neo4j from JS, and their ideas for modeling news feeds were really mindblowing, but I'm hesitant to put anything mission-critical on it just yet from both a technical-debt perspective and a speed/scalability perspective.

I am a design-savvy developer with a passion for iOS. My skills extend to Android, web (Angular) and server side as well. Additionally, in my last project I worked on integrating with Bluetooth Smart (Low Energy) devices, proximity and reporting back where the devices have been using location data.

I have managed many projects that were built from the ground up. While I’ve mainly been tasked with the iOS work for these projects, I was also directly involved with the whole software architecting. Many years of experience as a product manager has given me the ability to understand what customers need and help bring it to life. My experience spans all kinds of social/database integrations, as well as building REST-full web-services. I have done a substantial amount of work in Photoshop and Illustrator, which allows me to easily dissect graphic designs into actual software components.

"And if you haven't heard - it was revealed by wikileaks that all your Facebook data is delivered directly to the NSA." {{Citation needed}}

I avoid Facebook as much as possible, but there's a whole lot of nutty nonsense in this article. The reason I avoid Facebook is that it grew from a culture of bros instead of a culture of professionals or academics, and I won't entrust my data to bros. It's the same reason I don't use Uber.
Trademarks don't cover "merely descriptive" uses of the word. The question is whether the Lowdown "HERE" app falls into that category. It's possible, though I wouldn't bet on it.
I'm of a different mindset than to believe that this can be legislated away or fixed in any part of the transit.

We need to work toward (and we have nearly achieved) a situation where our endpoints are strong and intelligent enough that no manipulation of this sort is possible.

Watching the video, I was strongly reminded of the work of Chris Marker, a film-maker worth coming to know if you don't already. Marker loved Japan and the affection was reciprocated by many artists, including Akira Kurosawa. The possible path from Marker to LSD: Dream Emulator is more than I can clearly map here, but here are some points along the way:

The thesis of the article which I see as "Design for Performance" strikes me as wrong, but I'm interested in hearing why my intuitions are off.

1. Done is better than perfect.

In general I agree with this meme. I have started lots of projects that didn't get completed (zero value to anyone else) and seen lots of features never get off the ground because they were stuck in a design phase (with people arguing over design) rather than just picking anything and getting it done.

So perhaps my gut reaction to this article is that it is very very easy to become obsessed with trying to think through performance design decisions up front, and if you're the kind of person who falls into this trap, you need to ignore the article and focus on "Done" before "Fast."

2. Performance is perception

The performance of an application is highly subjective and discontinuous. If it takes 1-150ms to render a page, for most people that is almost exactly the same level of perceived performance. If I take 300 to 1000 ms to render my page, it is now sluggish. If I take 5s or more to render my page, it is either broken or time to get a cup of coffee and "wait for the durn thing to load."

It's this weird stair-step nature to performance that doesn't map nicely to big O notions of complexity, factors like 100x or any other simple continuous, numerical scale.

That's why phrases like "unnecessary work" strike me as unhelpful. The work simply doesn't matter until it has a noticeable impact. If you've got a simple abstraction that re-renders the page every 60th of a second even if nothing has changed, the abstraction has value and the work is neither beneficial nor detrimental, until you cross a perceptual boundary.

3. It's not done until it's fast (enough).

This meme is also something I agree with. Development can be done such that 1. Things work and then 2. They are made fast. Perhaps the wisdom the author is trying to impart is that in his experience 2 never happens and you must realistically reverse the order.

Feedback and warstories welcome!
I don't think anyone actually does that? Link facebook accounts to contacts in their phone?

I mostly go by a nickname, I haven't yet seen anyone add me to their phone using my real full name - I think only about 10% of the people I know even know my full real name, many just assume my facebook name is my real name. I feel pretty safe.

My simplification of matters is that while C++ can now do everything right, it still easily lets you do everything wrong.

Rust compels correctness, so for any project where you can't trust your coworkers aptitude towards correctness (and that is to say you even trust your own) Rust is an insane productivity booster. We could have avoided millions of hours of work and thousands of zero day and system destroying bugs if we had OS cores written in a language like Rust.
