Most iconic hip hop formations or individuals (still) make a lot of buzz outside or around music. Outkast simply planted their work and let it explode. It feels like their marketing has always been a little bit of an understatement. It is almost too easy to forget about dre and big boi, but their work is immortal and is some of the best music has to offer.

Just today I had a chat with a friend about a movie named "rogue one". Roug, Rook, Roug, Rook. If feel quite fit writing english but talking - as someone with very litte practice - drives me mad.

When is it ever die nutella?

Der, die, das makes at least more sense then the difference beteween the and the.

I wonder how legit it would be for an US company to set up an internal gag order? Running on compromised hardware is practically a nuclear meltdown (pun intended) and publicly admitting to it as well.

Altering components to something cheaper is common practice for every company that is willing to exploit the fuck out of their customers. Look at the food industry. In EU there is control, in US thare are sanctions. But it is up to the governments because companies are to opportunistic to change. As long you can (re)sell the junk you get, you're fine, if you can't you upgrade "QA".

Learning how to write decent software just takes time and comes with a lot of failures in between. Good peers know that and you should too. But they will often leave you with some easy stuff to get you productive and it is very easy just bury yourself in this work. Try to observe what your seasoned peers a doing, listen to conversations between them, ask questions if possible. Things that happen away from keyboard is nothing someone teaches you in school, but there is a lot to learn from that.

The dream of AOL.

My closing interview question for application programmers is about how to scale database. The answer is completely open, just to see how deep the person went in his career. The hidden part of it, is that I want to get some insight for myself.

Wow this is brutal! I wonder how safe apache and nginx are?

If you need more details there are certainly better sources. But imho there is usually a huge lack of trustworthy high level overviews. Newbies make mistakes and seasoned teachers may have a hidden agenda.

No ES2046, is that legacy?

Good run down what GAE offers. The point I'd like to add and emphasise on is zero downtime deploys.

Not sure why you compare GAE to lambda?

Js is currently more visible than other platforms, also the sheer size of the community takes a role. Idiots are everywhere.

The current trend and curse of DRY and NIH is to solve stuff by adding dependencies and gluing them together. Rookies expect that some software solved the problem at hand without thinking about it. Even worse is that they even apply this to rather simple things. The problem of OP - countig items inefficiently - is absurdly common. IMHO this is the heart of the problem, the new generation is highly uneducated how to handle data.

> NYT needs to know how long you spent, on which articles, etc. They need data to produce the product and you can only achieve that with javascript tracking pixels (Server logs aren't good enough).

That's analytics. The marketing stuff that is causing the bloat isn't doing that much in comparison. Trackers are often coded very wasteful and are redundant by nature. You can have easily dozens to hundreds of them all doing the same stuff just with different APIs. It is insane and out of control and has absolutely nothing to do with gathering insights about your app and improving. It is pure external 3rd party marketing.

Is the language incomplete like the docs?

I don't think anyone argues variables with module scope. Because as you say they are not global.

Lets pretend JS arrays had no queue api, why whouldn't I use native arrays to implement a queue?

That has nothing to do with open software.

I wonder what would change if android wasn't free anymore.

Android devices getting more expensive, better market share for apple?

Guess in a few years it is worth the initial price tag.

So I can create an open platform and control how it is used? That doesn't make sense.

His argument is against rewriting a whole codebase. Refactoring is surely an alternative.

It is weird that they took on some problems so easy. Shared libraries is one point. To get them right for hundreds slightly different services is something I don't even want to think about. The only strategy I can come up with is to maintain them as if they're a 3rd party lib and cannot contain business logic. So you're forced to build solutions around them and not with them.

Then there have been quite a few warnings to not use shared code in microservices.

Well, average desktop app size exploded too.

Gmail had an exceptionally well UI, minimal and highly usable. What is bizzare that mailers were extremely bad and you didn't even needed to compare them to Gmail.

JS had maybe it's share, but Gmail was minimal, condensed and fast. Literally no one had that back then and today no one knows because competition is dead. Now every webapp is JS heavy, but there is still a great difference in minimalism. Not saying that google products are small, but they seem to have a better balance in "fancy" user interaction than the rest of the web. The reckless transition to a modern web with more bells and whistles takes it's toll, mostly because "we can", but it should be "make sense here".
