I doubt that a recession is looming, because the fear is fanned by perceived periodicity, while the economy solidly expands mostly on the back of the software industry's expansion. The market will ride that software expansion for some time. There is no iron law of a ten year recession period.

We are saying the same thing. There are way more entry-level opportunites in web development, and the barrier to entry is lower.

Certainly, I only mentioned it because I've noticed that pattern. If you look at job listings for the same company, the frontend positions often pay less, have less stringent requirements, etc.

Like I said, it hits the experienced people hardest. At the bottom of the bust, there were still tons of new web properties going up, redesigns happening, and so on, and you could absolutely get a job building websites. I know plenty of people who got started in the industry at that time.

I'm very bullish about the future for web developers until we see the web contract as a platform. And I think we have a long way to go until that happens.

Web development has always been an entry-level position, lead frontend or lead web developer is always lower-class than lead backend or what have you. But it's still good, well-compensated work. OP should be careful to not get caught up in our industry's dick measuring contests. My experience is that the most prized opportunities are also the most scarce and guarded, and that to pursue them is a risky career choice.

Is there any evidence for the "shake-out"? I haven't seen it in 20 years, demand for new web applications continues to outpace supply of competent developers. A recession is not a "shake-out" because it hits experienced developers hardest, if anything it's an opportunity for green developers.

Parent used the correct term, a liquefecation map shows liquefecation zones.

If it's an argentine ant and you're not in that part of the world, you should eradicate with prejudice as they're an invasive species.

Well I'm no groth hax0r like OP, but it shouldn't be too difficult for them to sit down and write an actual comment. Like you just did, and like I'm doing right now. Who cares if a lazy spammer has a heart of gold?

Oh boy, a hot take from a reddit nobody on the front page of HN.

You won't find much neolithic civilization outside of North Sentinel Island and the deep Amazon.

I don't have a strong opinion either way, but do we really have to call the decision to not have kids "genetic suicide?" I'm not the sole custodian of my genetics, it's not like I have some freak mutation that's going to save the species. We are largely genetically similar.

I don't have any problem with the usual tourist attire, but still appreciate if people are dressed nicely. Parent may have a stronger view.

I take it you're not much of a "cat person."

There are a ton of extra cats regardless of demand.

Not what I was expecting at all, I wish people dressed that well on vacation. I thought you were going to link to someting more like https://goo.gl/maps/AnzFYfXAuCDt2rDD8

That said, all of these measures you describe are a bit much. There are a million ways to tell that somebody's a tourist, are you going to pretend you're there to raise VC?

Edit: Parent's editing their comments a lot so mine makes no sense now, but they linked to https://img.budgettravel.com/_facebookShare/tourists-in-spai... as an example of tourist attire.

I love the comments about going off the beaten path to avoid tourists. The entire city is a tourist trap, who are you fooling?

I tried to think of others, but availability bias means I'm stuck on recency bias.

Where's the TodoMVC?

I don't think it's in good taste to use a reserved word like "with" in the API either. And it feels like it's being used in places where a plain function call would suffice (you call a function "with" params).

If I follow your logic, lethal force is justified in any physical conflict because of the risk of "one wrong bump to the head."

China is neither totalitarian nor is it a dictatorship. It is an authoritarian single-party state, but let's not play fast and loose with classification here.

Yes, it's more difficult to conceal a hammer in your rectum.

Have you tried searching reddit for threads about a current event, only to find pages of results of vitriolic/psychotic ("trolling!") /r/The_Donald posts? I'm pretty tired of it and I hope they ban that sub and similar ones. I couldn't care less about the political aspect, it's the 4chan lulz crap that has to go. From reddit's point of view these users are parasites, who basically deface the website in an attempt to control it. That's their M.O., good riddance.

OP, please add curated to the project description. I only sensibly blog with curated themes.

> Lisp without macros

Why even consider that? Macros are IMO the main reason to use a LISP. As you suggested, they allow you to model laziness, or whatever else you might desire.

It also has a working location bar that doesn't forget my history from a day ago. And a functional history that indexes on more than component prefixes (thanks Chrome).

That depends on your mental model. The isolation and reproducibility of Docker is much easier for me than dealing with build pack nonsesne.

> It is called science bitch.

I think I'll just avoid climate change threads here from now on, they're the /r/politics of HN.

That's a good point, the solar energy is not created. My point is that CO2 can be removed while creating useful energy (in this case, converting a transient source to a durable one). I thought parent was being overly dramatic, even simplistic, in making CO2 sound like some unusable waste product ("burnt carbon. It's burnt. Burnt stuff ain't fuel; it's burnt.").
