True | icebraining | null | There already exists a system of discoverable, predictable APIs which can be used by a single client without rewriting it for each new provider: it's called the Web, specifically the set {HTTP, HTML, JS, CSS}. Unfortunately, it mostly works for unstructured data with few semantics.
Now, there already exists a new set of technologies for distributed, discoverable and predictable APIs for structured data: it's {HTTP, RDF}.
Unfortunately, this requires providers (websites, CMS, etc) to take their heads out of their asses and ***STOP WRITING NEW FORMATS FOR EVERYTHING***.
Sorry, but it's frustrating hearing e.g. Github boast about their new REST API when you can only think "yet another user profile format that you have to implement a reader for".

True | EdgarVerona | null | I liked the article, and I agree with the essence of it. I don't know how it is over in the UK, but in the states when a high school (or earlier) is fortunate enough to have a programming class available, it's usually ancient and taught by people who don't really have programming experience: a math teacher who was told that they needed someone to teach it, for example.
Nations around the world need to get serious about teaching people technology - not just how to consume it, but how to create it. Of course, this depends on them getting serious about finding quality teachers and paying them well for the important role they play in the first place... so we've got a long uphill battle to fight before we get there.
I am fortunate that I went to a school that taught programming (even though it was Pascal, which was ancient and useless beyond the [important] theory and general programming skills). Some schools over here can barely afford textbooks, much less teachers to teach it. No wonder so many public schools end up being more like babysitting businesses than places of education.

True | EdgarVerona | null | You nailed one of the core deficits of Capitalism as it exists today squarely on the head.
Our society doesn't incentivize people to teach, because it's not directly profitable - and indeed, right now a skilled developer could earn multiples more in income doing anything in the for-profit world rather than teaching. And we've raised our entire society to believe that income is directly related to your worth in society.
The alternative? I'm not sure. Perhaps we could find ways to better fund education, and bring up the pay for teachers... or perhaps we need to find an alternative path to Capitalism, at least for some of these essential but "unprofitable" tasks. I'm reminded of my youth, back when my family indoctrinated me in Roman Catholicism... the priests there essentially live in an existence with merits and honors entirely aside from the material world. They want not for income or the accumulation of wealth, and many of them take a vow of poverty. Their worth in society is determined by the tasks they do, and not the money they rake in. Though I'm agnostic now, I still feel like that was an intriguing and compelling alternative to the model our society has chosen to motivate people.

"serious work" is a ghetto. Phones and and Pads are consumer devices. That's like saying "Nobody does serious work with a TV".
Pads are designed to consume digital media and they are brilliant at it. Much better than phones due to their large screens and much better than laptops due to their light weights and lack of lids.

True | EdgarVerona | null | I think that the number of people who actually don't have the capacity to learn how to program is in a small minority: the same group of people who likely (due to developmental limitations) would have difficulty learning many things.
I think that many people have essentially *told themselves* that they cannot learn programming: that it is difficult and beyond them. Children often haven't built up those mental blocks, and if you teach them early enough I believe you'd find that people are much more capable than one might believe when looking at the self-imposed limitations of older populations (even teenagers).
To me, I admittedly don't agree with the speculation that everyone would need programming in their day to day lives... but I do agree that it could be a powerful tool to help with the teaching of logical reasoning and math skills, giving them a practical application that really helps to solidify the usefulness of those subjects. | null | 0 | 1316090559 | False | 0 | c2k1jwx | t3_kgbzq | null | t1_c2k1jwx | t1_c2k17g3 | null | 1427603088 | 3 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |

Library incompatibility isn't a "walled garden" and there are _real_ issues that keep Haskell out of the mainstream. However, I believe that this is more:
* Laziness is hard to reason about
* Most developers don't learn to work with advanced type system features like Haskell's (F#'s is considerably more straightforward to get started with - it doesn't even have type-constructor polymorphism, let alone GADTs and the like)

True | [deleted] | null | Except that Silverlight doesn't work with Linux and Flash does. They FORCED Silverlight on the user when they already had Flash implemented. It was 100% a move by Microsoft to get Silverlight installed on every Netflix streaming user's computer. It's funny because literally every video I stream online is done in flash with the exception of Netflix. I really don't care what marginal benefits Silverlight offers because obviously Flash works fine for 99.99% of all video streaming sites.
You're not going to talk me down on this issue. I decided to put Linux on my new laptop only to find out Netflix streaming doesn't work because of this bullshit. That doubly pisses me off because I had an old laptop that used to work fine with Netflix streaming until they switched to Silverlight at which point it stuttered so much it was unwatchable. Instead of switching back to Windows or running Windows as a virtual machine I just stopped using Windows.

True | arbn | null | If it is feasible to teach both programming and logico-mathematical reasoning to children, then I would agree wholeheartedly. Learning to program does help to solidify many logical concepts. However, at least in the U.S.A., virtually no-one is actually taught mathematical and logical reasoning prior to university. More often, they are taught to solve problems mechanically by applying equations rather blindly. I think that if children were actually taught formal logic and mathematical reasoning, then the need to teach programming would seem less urgent, since algorithmic thinking seems to follow rather naturally from clear logical thinking. | null | 0 | 1316090915 | True | 0 | c2k1ktx | t3_kgbzq | null | t1_c2k1ktx | t1_c2k1jct | null | 1427603105 | 5 | t5_2fwo | null | null | null |
