There are still many use cases where server side rendering makes sense. For example, I work on a large, enterprise webapp, it has the frontend UI, which users interact with heavily: this, we have built out using clientside Javascript which

Yes, this, so much. Thank you. It was absolutely "weaponized disinformation," and Stephen Bannon is a homegrown USA adherent of it, and now he's Trump's right hand man in the White House. People who should know better

Absolutely: technological changes in "information technology" bring about social changes as well.

That's not true: false, viral stories were the very lifeblood of this election.

The radio, print, and television media have laws concerning what they can publish. I don't think it's so incredibly impossible to imagine that the new technology which is replacing those old forms, might also have something in th

I agree with you. I would keep it simple and as transparent as possible.

I don't think the "bias" of mainstream media sources is solvable, it's not that problem we need to solve. The problem we need to solve is the sharing of hysterical, blatantly false information, presented as facts, from s

Facebook could deliberately inject a certain amount of contrarian content into people's feeds.

I agree. I think there could be a limit on the amount of links and of images containing text that you can post in a day, as well as warning messages next to content that comes from questionable sources.

I agree with you. I wouldn't completely remove them, but I would mark the ones from certain sources as having a questionable origin.

I have had a lot of similar thoughts recently. If you think of this historically -- soon after mass-communication technologies were first invented, they were eventually abused, the radio propaganda of WWII being one of the best examples. L

Hello -- I lead a team developing a very complex enterprise application. We have already spent a lot of time with Docker to simplify our CI system. I'd love to join the Docker for OSX beta to figure out how we can all start using it fo

No kidding. The debate here is a pretty funny. Make things as RESTful as you can and, by all means add additional verbs where necessary (cancel, empty, etc). The point is for your API to be easy to understand and to use by making it more li

It is absolutely the #1 most visible landmark in the city. When you are hiking far the north up the coast -- say, Mt. Wittenberg -- you can just barely make out the city to the south ... it's so tiny ... and you can distinctly see &quo

I have strong opinions about this. I think the skills needed to maintain a "digital archive" are actually fairly advanced. For example, my cousin had many photos of their children growing up on an old computer. The computer crashe

As I have grown (just a little) older, one of the best lessons I have learned is just about the limitations of intelligence, of rationality, even, of language. We are intelligent animals. However, we are more animal, than we are intelligent

Congrats Bethany! I am a long time Beeminder user. You guys work hard. I think your tool is amazing, although, I have my ups and downs with it. :) Very proud of you! Keep it up! I owe you a long email with thoughtful feedback.

The "processing failed" banner is quite ironic considering our recent collective experiences with cryptography. Why the Mt.Gox failure and so many other hackings and exposures of supposedly-private data? "Processing Failed&

Just to be fair, 'destructive' seems like a bad adjective to apply to LSD. It's way, way less toxic than alcohol, for example. http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2010/11/drugs_caus.

Hi guys, Thanks for your curiosity. Well -- I don't want to discourage bavidar from his project. However, here's a sampling of what I learned: Snailmailr was focused on consumers. This was a mistake. Folks who still send paper mail are g

I spent about 2 years creating Snailmailr.com (not online anymore) which ultimately sent about 15,000 letters, several hundred regular users at one point, had a nascent affiliate program, and appeared on the NYTimes, Lifehacker, and 50+ oth

I actually sat down and spent a few hours 'curating' my Facebook recently: marking people as acquaintances, 'hiding' posts on my timeline that I don't want to see, setting up lists of different types of friends ... Arguably this should happ

I understand, sometimes they are just obnoxious and that's just not how you want to shop. I definitely see what you are saying. I think this is why online shopping has been so successful. Amazon reviews are actually a great way of figurin

They do but throw away any feelings of compulsion to buy things to make the salesperson happy. And if you don't like them or find them helpful, totally just walk away or say: "Thanks for your help, but I am going to look on my own now." It'
