I don't enjoy it, but a well timed shill is what got it to the front of hacker news one day, and got it a ton of exposure. When you are a solo dev without the reach of facebook, google or 37signals, you do what you have to do to get the word out.

Especially since you are all doing web programming wrong. ;)

Race and ethnicity are simply larger and smaller group categorizations of humans, both with reasonably accurate biological tests.

Conservatives (I am a conservative) who say we have a free market system are wrong. Liberals who say we are too heartless to pay for a socialized medical system are wrong. Anyone who says our military spending is why we don't have public healthcare is wrong. Anyone who suggests the US is competent enough at public administration to implement a public health care system is also probably wrong.

Collapse appears to be the only way out.

Seems pretty arbitrary to me. That's the internet, I guess.

I'm glad to see the flat-ui/material-design over-application of minimalism is coming to an end and designers are getting back to more complex visual treatments. My hope is that, rather than casting back and forth between the various schools of thought, designers start thinking in context-sensitive terms: not "Should I use flat design or skeumorphic design for this app?" but rather "Where in this UI are flat design AND skeumorphic designs best utilized?"

Trump did this with the "and mexico will pay for it" addendum to building the wall. By getting people to say "Mexico will never pay for it!" they are mentally conceding the wall.

I dislike these sorts of verbal tactics, but they are effective manipulations.

Smart guys.

Thank you for your earnest and thoughtful post.

I'd like to say that it is to some extent narcissistic to sacrifice future generation's wellbeing to satisfy present desires and I think it is reasonable for millennials too accuse baby boomers and, to a lesser extent, genX'rs of that fault. I am an X'er and, admitting their faults, I get upset when I hear millennials held up for undo scorn, given the cards they have been dealt.

it drove nietzsche insane, and he was much smarter and greater than any of us

nihilism is terrible and heroic and demonic, and possibly true

but i don't think so

You aren't taking nihilism seriously enough.

That's not to say introversion/extraversion wouldn't manifest differently in different contexts, but the trait does exist (as much as any personality trait does) and appears to have a large genetic component to it.

If you want to see if a particular browser is compatible with a particular version of intercooler + (jquery || zepto), the unit tests are linked off the release page:

http://intercoolerjs.org/download.html

And you can simply open the the unit test page in question:

http://intercoolerjs.org/release/unit-tests-1.2.1.html?hidep...

This will run all tests for intercooler 1.2.1 using jQuery3 as the underlying library. Be sure to let the window retain focus or a few tests will fail.

I won't speak for turbolinks, but with intercooler the idea is to return to a stateless architecture, the second aspect of the REST-ful architecture[1]. State, as such, is stored on the server, not on the client.

It has scaled quite well in my applications: browsers are very fast at swapping new HTML into a page. The downsides can be additional chattiness with a server and a lack of interactivity if you are building a fancy (or fancy part of an) application, such as a game. In those cases, intercooler is not a good choice.

If you are interested in some reading on the theory behind it, I recommend these two blog posts that explain how HTML and REST/HATEOAS hang together better than Javascript with JSON:

I hope you find it useful, and good luck in 2018.

I'm trying to get people to reconsider the more traditional web development style of server-side rendering of HTML + HATEOAS.
