I know he's not for everyone but Nassim Taleb's quote is salient - “Few understand that procrastination is our natural defense, letting things take care of themselves and exercise their antifragility; it results from some ecological or naturalistic wisdom, and is not always bad -- at an existential level, it is my body rebelling against its entrapment. It is my soul fighting the Procrustean bed of modernity.”

Greg made CakeWalk, one of the first and best music programs of it's day.

"For a variety of reasons — none of them very good — this way of being safe lost out in the 60s in favor of allowing race conditions in imperative programming and then trying to protect against them using terrible semaphores, etc which can lead to lock ups." - it would be great for you to lay those out! Also please tell us other Krautrock songs you dig!

It's pretty funny how we're running into AI-winter at the same time the autonomous vehicle VC boom is moving all their money to scooters.

Not at all (we rolled our own back end). The added complexity of building queries to join our API ended up creating such a quagmire of SQL that any dev coming in will basically have to learn our own custom ORM.

I used Redux when it first came out, but now use Mobx as it's just... easier and has less boilerplate. Also it's easy to extend into a reframe-like pure function state management system if you want to avoid passing around objects/inheritance.

https://github.com/plexus/chestnut is Clojurescript, but it's fantastic. It's quite easy to roll out a UI and you can build your backend to your specifications. A bit less opinionated than Luminus, but both great for just getting started.

My band did this, Hujo, our website is http://www.hujo.af cause... well... we are Hujo as f$3k...

We use clojure on the backend and clojurescript as our admin ui across our supply chain exchange at https://www.openmarketshealth.com

Any links to your music?

Is not the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics always circumvented on Earth? We absorb more energy in the form of light from the sun than we emit.

Sitting in my office - crying.

Thanks, right on. It's a huge organization - I think small potatoes like my dev shoppe need to be wary of just doubling down 'because Google.' Angular was hopefully an outlier! Looking forward to seeing how Kubernetes evolves.

Before I get down-voted to oblivion, apologies for snark but I think I'm making a valid point. A lot of engineer's decided to throw in with AngularJS because of Google's "considerable weight" but as we're seeing now, we're all getting burned. It's a fine technology but the pain points have been severe. My point being just because Google backs a technology doesn't mean it's going to be useful, and should instead be based on its merits.

Headline: Google backs alternative to AngularJS, the web's Last Next Big Thing. Google reveals the entire AngularJS project is a ruse designed to ruin countless weekends of aspiring web dev's! No backward compatibility, no human-readable documentation and no implementation of their own technology in their own core product line! In fact, Google states, AngularJS is their first experiment with using their "considerable weight" to trick engineers into learning a technology which is completely useless and unsupported in the long run.

i dun get it

OG Greybeards omg so hot

Alternatively + [IMHO] more robust security-wise (although both great projects): https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/ng-token-auth

Nice work.

sexy

This is awesome.

You know that's a good question.

I've spent about half of my work day today working out npm dependency conflicts... The Einstein quote about insanity comes to mind.

Here's our generator we build just to suit our needs: https://github.com/lynndylanhurley/generator-gulp-of-drano it's come in pretty handy as we have to roll out several apps at a time with (in general) the same dependencies.

I guess I'm complaining about npm more than Angular per se. Most of our issues stem from the myriad package dependencies "in the wild" of npm itself. It's like tilling a field in the wind. Often one has to `npm install` >3 times to install all of your modules. I guess that's what happens when you have ten billion cooks in the kitchen.

Dude setting up an angular project can be a huge headache. We use a hand built generator just for our needs, but npm in so insanely unstable that we have to get in and end up doing a lot of configuring of the gulp / gruntfile and packages etc.

The takedown on Heroku's dyno scaling was impressive. But also funny how they got themselves in that situation to begin with. If there's one thing about this world, RAP music will pay for $20k worth of Dyno's a month! Sad sad world.

edit - I like rap music.

Oh, it basically proves that computers can't think!

This book changed my life in High School. I eventually worked out Gödel's theorem. I felt good. I've forgotten it now, it's hard.

I had to turn my lurker-cloak shield off and tip my hat to you my friend I have never heard of this! I remember my Quantum teacher introducing the concept of a one electron universe, and at the time it sounded like some 19th century type explaining that glass is a liquid, but this, my dear God... this is amazing.

Probably because he's the most powerful person on the planet wearing a t-shirt which signals that he stands for the very value's most assume he disregards?
