yeah I mean it's a fair point. But I see the major difference coalescing around a similar idea, which did not happen before. So maybe 6 months from now there will be the New Framework on the Block (and in the JS world, I wouldn't be surprised if that's its actual name), but I suspect this new framework will just be an iteration over the concepts of virtualdom and data binding espoused by Vue and React, as opposed to being some sort of entirely new concept.
> No, npm is a a manifestation of the problem, the cause is developers looking to offload to upstream for efficiency, and continually assuming that upstream is 100% reliable every time.
I really don't understand the hate towards NPM because I don't see how it's so fundamentally different from nuget (c#), pypi (python), composer (php), gem (ruby), maven (java), and so on and so forth. I rarely see people lambasting all these other package managers, even though they are all mostly the same functionality wise. I honestly don't know what makes NPM so different.
In the past you had rather different concepts at play. Roll your own solution with jQuery (which is nothing more than a functional approach to the DOM), Backbone, Angular, Ember, etc. All quite different in concepts.
React and Vue however are far more similar and are now the dominant frameworks. Seems the community is coalesced around a single concept and have two different approaches to it. Vue is better imho because it's syntax is so much cleaner.

Nexus supports NPM so this is an irrelevant problem. You should be using a cache between your tech stack and its main repo, whether it's npm, pip, maven, nuget, composer, etc...

The rest of the summary has nothing to do with the name. It's only commentators that are making a fuss over nothing, either using this as an excuse to lambaste so-called social justice warriors, or to be behave like so-called social justice warriors.
My main motivation for jailbreaking my ipad was to gain access to the filesystem and use it like a normal tablet/computer. Has this been resolved yet or does iOS still regard RAW/DNG image files as hazardous to my health?
AT&T will most likely own CNN, and Comcast owns MSNBC.
So when conservatives realise that Fox News, Breitbart, World Net Daily, and all the other right wing rags, aren't getting special treatment but MSNBC and CNN are, then they will bring back net neutrality. *shrug*
> the gender gap in tech is probably not because of sexism.
Let's say this is because women are poor negotiators. Then the flaw isn't sexism, it's the very nature of capitalism and how units of labour are valued on the market place.
If two equally qualified individuals work equally well and produce equal amounts of value, then it is morally wrong to pay one individual less than another, regardless of their gender.
women are not biologically fit to be engineers then covers his ass with "oh but some overlap". Give me a break.
Women and men are culturally different, but that's culture, not genetics. There are plenty of professions where there is a clear gender bias in favor of men or women (eg nurses) but there is no reason other than silly cultural standards for those biases existing in the first place.
Now I'm not about to go full blown alt-left here, and I'm not exactly pro-affirmative action, but there is something to be said about the cultural influences on men and women and the career paths they end up going down. If it's biological, then in the past what, 40 years or so, there was a sudden genetic mutation that spread throughout America that made women disinterested in engineering? Unlikely...
no, he was fired for intentionally creating a hostile working environment.
Maybe the corporate culture at Google is alt-left, maybe it's not, I don't know. But your political view points are irrelevant. You come into a business then denigrate a sizable chunk of its workforce, then why should you expect anything else than getting fired?
Frankly, the author probably knew this was going to happen and decided to martyr himself.
W3C has created a standard set of Javascript APIs, and DRM providers provide a similar set of standard APIs that can talk to the JS APIs.
The web isn't suddenly locked down and all browsers must be closed source now. If you don't want to use DRM, then don't go to DRM enabled services like Netflix. You are not entitled to anything Netflix, Hulu, etc has to offer.
I feel there is a lot of FUD here, and in many cases, there is a conflation between allowing Netflix to send you content, and the erosion of net neutrality which is a separate, unrelated, and in my opinion, far more worrying problem.
I have a decent two bed room apartment for under $1000/year that is a 15 minute bike ride to downtown in a lively neighborhood with numerous public transit links.
Good luck finding anything decent for less than $1000/year in NYC or San Francisco.
except the value of labour itself goes down in the process.
I can't speak for everyone, but I have no problems with immigrants coming to Canada to work, but they should be paid just as well as Canadians would expect to be paid for the same job. So if the average Torontonian expects $100k/year but some person from India comes in and is happy with $50k/year, then we have a problem.
World War 1 was started by an assassination that was used to impose unrealistic ultimatums on other countries, that triggered a cascade of mutual defence treaties to kick in and then everyone was fighting.
World War 2 was started because Germany wanted a chunk of land that was predominately German and no one wanted to give it to them so they took it by force, which made everyone angry, and the Japanese used this brouhaha as cover for its own imperialist agenda.

er, I was asking what the supposed purpose is, not denying that there is no purpose. O_o

And the purpose of doing this would be what exactly?
yes, but this iteration is a bit different.

Kodi can be installed on Windows so by your logic Windows facilitates piracy.
I fully intend to switch over to Cinnamon over KDE. I miss the Gnome2 feel and Cinnamon really delivers on that front.
But gosh, won't someone think of the BLUR? I miss my glassy terminals man

My summation is good enough for that purpose ;)
