Why PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel thinks American democracy is dead
I generally agreed with the article. I think people concentrate too much on learning the specifics of frameworks, and forget about the underlying ideas behind the frameworks itself.

I do think, though, that he wrongly blames frameworks for the bad code people usually write. It doesn't matter if you're writing homegrown code, you still have to write a framework of some sort around it in order to get any work done. I think that the front end frameworks currently available out there all are really bad solutions for what they purport to solve.

It's like you're promised a cutter that cuts cubes, when you need your cube to fit a hole in a shape of a circle. Even after you're done using the cutter, you still need to cut around the edges to make it fit, and in doing so, you probably could've just skipped the first step in the first place.

Instead of blaming the tool, the blame should be placed in the abstraction. To keep with the analogy, if I had been handed a circle cutter, I could probably fit my shape in the hole with no problem. Better yet, if I was able to choose between a square or a circle cutter before I start a job, that'd be perfect.

As it currently stands, Backbone did a great job at separating the concerns of a web app, but its rendering methods resort to too much thrashing of the dom. Angular attempted to solve the thrashing, but, along its way, it ended up lowering the divide between logic and presentation via its assortment of ng attributes. I haven't tried yet, but I have high hopes for React and its solutions.

The hallmark of a great framework is one which clearly defines what its one task will be and executes it beautifully, and simply. Allowing newcomers to start from the top, and work their way to the bottom without much effort. Since none of the javascript frameworks out there are of high quality at this point, most of the code written in those frameworks will just not be very good, and it's ok for right now. That's the learning process that the industry goes through every time a new technology is introduced, and I have high hopes that sometime in the next couple of years a framework will come out that will set the tone for the years going forward.

Except that they do, all the time, as I said previously. The extortions and the victims come in when this oligarchy of the wealthy registrars apply for and are approved a TLD which is for the obvious purpose of making everyone buy theirname.shithead to prevent a literal theirname.shithead website. This is extortion on a different level, and it's not hard to see it, so it's apparent you're denying the obvious in order to support your (incorrect) assertions.

I operate a site that is a popular destination for pricing used bikes (and other things)[1] and this is a pretty big problem. We get our pricing data from listings for bikes, but without ever seeing the bikes it's hard to come up with a way to infer quality that will lead to more consistent pricing.

The fact that sellers shade the quality of their bikes isn't the only problem (although it's a significant one), a lot of times they don't even know the quality of the bike they have, whether the derailleur is close to failing, for example. In a way, it's worse than the auto market, because with the auto market the price has been enough to justify the creation of services to certify the quality of used cars. I think you could probably ask for an inspection from a bike shop on the quality of the bike, judging the shop based on the Yelp reviews or how trustworthy they are considered in your particular community, though (many people trade bikes in online enthusiast forums, in the same way that cars are). But this would only be worth it for very high end bikes.

Javascript does not have built-in support for modules, so he is using a library to have module support.

An anti-architecture (in the article's sense I think) might be people who just know jquery but do not know javascript or how the DOM, the browser api, etc.. works, some just use jquery for something that can be done with 10-15 lines of JS, but they don't know better, they lack the principles/architecture knowledge to do so.

We could make planes fly themselves today. This is (mostly) how military drones work. On a couple of my tours, we worked with drones that flew themselves almost completely. My best friend in the universe reenlisted just to fly them, and they fly themselves for most of their missions.

Trust me: Planes could fly themselves using today's technology.

>More comfortable for the requestor? It depends on the person. I would loathe this, for example, and it would evoke in me a far worse feeling than a flat out "no" would;

The key here is that the requestor doesn't "deserve" anything, and the developer wants to be fucking left alone...
Any recommendations for learning web app architectures for an otherwise experienced back-end dev?
Ah, the Amiga -- computing's Lamborghini Countach. Sexy, powerful, revolutionary engineering for its time. Fueler of many a pubescent schoolboy's wet dreams. But also hopelessly stuck in the 80s in terms of design and fiddly enough to put off non-enthusiasts.
Eh, how does a 10Gt bomb support MAD? MAD is mutual assured destruction: it works because both sides have a comparable power. Equipping one side with 10Gt weapons when the other side has "only" 10Mt-level weapons isn't MAD, it's madness.

That is, unless your goal is not MAD at all, but the nuclear destruction of the other side by your side. A prospect that Teller didn't find too horrible, I guess.

Heh.

That wasn't intentionally a joke (I wrote that bit), but I can see how it sounds like one. "chrome" is a term for the stuff that's part of a browser but not the browser engine (the rest of the UI).

I did realize that that term could be misinterpreted (damn you Google) and thoought of alternative ways of putting it, but I couldn't come up with anything. "GUI" and "shell" both sounded wrong.

When I said "another" I was referring to MiniServo[1][2] and the CEF port.

I think it's more straightforward and less depressing than that. For most people it's simply hard to tell the difference between someone with those traits ("still waters run deep"), and someone who just doesn't have much to offer[0]. We do tend to correct those misperceptions given enough exposure and investment in the relationship, but it takes time -- and there's only so much time in a day.

I think of it as indicating the function name and parameter list are a unit (it's foo(object), not foo (object)). I've always liked that style.

When I see people write

'some %s %s text ' %('x', 'y')

my first thought is "% is not not a function".

I'm reminded also of (and agree with) the Crockford convention in JavaScript recommending a space in

function () {...}

but not in

function foo(object) {...}

But conventions are are a choice made; most times it's easier to adopt them and move on.

I think it's slightly easier for both humans and computers to parse a function call when there's no space.

I find your question interesting - why SHOULD programming language syntax match English syntax? Programming languages borrow symbols from natural languages for convenience, but there's generally only a very loose analogy between their purposes in each.

Question, does it bug you when you see function calls without spaces in the same way it would if(for example) someone left out a space in writing?
I'm guessing that at least one wealthy-from-birth, inexperienced person, playing with their parents' money or trust fund money, has probably just paid it. There are people for whom writing a $70K check is easier than figuring out if they actually have to pay it.

The paper starts with: "Eleven FRBs have been detected so far, nine with the Parkes and one at the Arecibo telescope." That arithmetic is wrong. Tongue-in-the-cheek - April's fool?

edit: it actually seems more like a genuine typo in a pre-print. The list further in the article contains 10 FRBs from Parkes.

The problem with streaming will always be that computers get better faster than Comcast (or w/e internet service you have) does. Just going off a quick search for GPUs, pretty much every metric has doubled in the last 5 years. My internet speed over the same period has literally not changed. Not to say that the GPU is directly responsible, but that if memory usage in games is growing at even a linear rate (which is conservative), it's still impossible for internet speeds to match that improvement.
Please read the history of encryption, France outlawed it for many years and then in the start only allowed weak encryption.
> Obviously it'll be a bad idea to have everyone working on my project create their own patterns and will make sense to mandate everyone follow one set of patterns so we don't have to keep context-switching whenever we're working on a different part of the app.

You're right, nobody wants that. What I have found to be the best way to avoid this is to actively talk to each other and together choose the simplest solutions that fit the case. Mixing and matching different patterns is good if they fit neatly. This results into less boilerplate and/or messy spaghetti code, as the abstractions fit the problem domain perfectly.

So essentially, talk to each other and work together as a team. Don't just hack on things randomly.
The original paper found that nets pretrained as autoencoders were the least susceptible to it, but still failed. IIRC the follow up paper (http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.6572) tested it or at least claimed it wasn't a solution.
Teens may not have much in the way of independent resources, but they've always been an important market.
Of course! The great thing about project-based billing (in my opinion) is that it forces you (and your client) to come up with clear requirements at the beginning of the project, and anything extra is an additional scope of work. Of course if the requirements are unclear, hourly would be a better option.

To call someone over a fair price.... but you have to know those people in the first place... If you were buying a car, who would you call to compare prices?

You call your family members, previous buyers, or middlemen in cities to get a rough sense of the market price. There are startups that offer crop price data via SMS.

What's toxic is piling up so many people to profit from setting up a barrier on such as simple thing as information sharing and reuse.

But US does the same for so many things, health care, collecting fines for municipal violations, keeping people locked up, providing education, politics.

It is only to be expected that many people would feed of on relationship between people and information there. No other country is so zealous about interfering with it for profit.

I played through just cause 2 entirely on onlive, and wouldn't have been able to play it at all otherwise. And being able to demo any game instantly was cool too.

Ultimately, it was poor leadership and poor title selection that killed them. I would have used them a lot more, otherwise.

Some really cool tech - i expect we'll see it become more mainstream over time.
They're "fast" in that they only last a short period of time-- these signals only last a few milliseconds, and they're rarely detected in real-time.
Not so good companies have a mess of broken systems. You end up spending more time reverse engineering random bugs in the systems than actually doing any forward progress. Knowing the bugs of a specific framework thus becomes a precious skill.
The eleventh could have been detected somewhere else.
They mean the signals last about a millisecond.

That certainly wasn't true in Europe.
It seemed like every kid around me in the early 90s had an Amiga 500, a few years after they all seemed to have an Amstrad CPC (wildly popular in France, even though it was a British computer. The Spectrum was the UK darling, and the C64 was the more popular one everywhere else)

A generation of game publishers (mainly in the UK and France) thrived on the Amiga and went on to become household names today (UbiSoft comes to mind)

As the article notes, there were even Amiga magazines on UK newsstands as far as Y2K, years after Commodore's demise.

So yeah, pretty big deal over here.

In some ways, the Amiga reminds me of Techno music : invented in the US, but found its true home in Europe.

I believe that's what they do. When I cracked my screen, I had someone contact me immediately from iCracked that said they could come out to me and fix my screen. The price was about double what the Apple store ended up doing it for but I thought the service and response time was very good, but the price just seemed steep ($200 for iPhone 6 screen replacement - Apple did it for $100).
No she's from Japan. True blood through and through. But yes, you're correct, she's not very traditional. I'm not all that worried; I know things will work out and if they don't I move on.

We're both young. She's 27, I'm 25. We're both travelers and neither of us wants to waste the working holiday boat before we're 30. If we're still going strong at 29-30 then I'll propose. It's not something we're talked about directly but it's something we both know without words. Her and I both want the same thing around 30 which is monogamy and kids.

I think I'll be fine. I'm pretty happy and excited for the next few years.

Moxie hit the nail on the head. It's absolutely a fundamental asymmetry. Slow hashes can protect strong passwords, and not much else. And if you use a password manager to generate strong passwords, then you are going to throw that password out anyway.

In the time it takes for your users to give up on the hourglass, assume their login request is hung, and start double-clicking submit, you have now DDoS'd yourself. That's about 750ms I think...

Also, try this sometime -- clear your cookies and try to login to Google, or Twitter, or Facebook. Time how long it takes before you see the first byte of a session cookie. Hint: Not Long Enough.

Password hashing is embarrassingly parallel. The botnets don't cost the attackers anything to hash your password on 100,000 CPUs all at once, after they've decided to target you. Moore's law? Also not helping.

We need something better. I'm working on just that, I'm sure it will have more than it's share of naysayers, but I'm giving it my best.
So your argument is that you should be able to use open communication platform to promote your work in any way possible for nothing, but collect as much money as you can by coercing into submission using any means necessary of people who ran into you work on this open platform and liked it so much that they shared and/or extended it?
