Seems a bit broken to me.
As to why keyboards are staggered in the first place, it is because a staggered layout allowed typewriters to have straight levers to the type guide (where they hammer down onto the paper). By having a straight vertical slice for each key, this meant that keys would not get easily jammed.

Obviously electronic keyboards do not require this same constraint, but tradition is difficult to change.

> In js/front-end world, what would be the closest to those RAD/component based toolkits like Qt, wxWidgets, Delphi/VCL, WinForms? Is Vue a good candidate or maybe Angular is a better choice?

Telerik, Sencha and a few other companies sell RAD solutions or components for frameworks like Angular and co. There are also plenty of free JS toolkits

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits#Based_...

Angular and co, they don't come with components like Delphi or Winforms, although they might have some official libraries(Material design,Bootstrap...) or widget collections that are separated from the frameworks.

But most of them will only deal with UI/data binding and it will be up to you to build components on top of that.

IMHO if your goal is to build desktop like apps and LOB on the web, don't bother with Angular,Vuejs,React and co, this is not the right abstraction. If you are looking for complex data grids widgets, have a look at the link I provided.

This is the exact same reasoning for charts. If you are looking for charts to use in your apps, don't use D3.js, use a library that actually comes with charts.
Counter-examples:

* C++ uses bitshift operators for IO. The (in?)famous

std::cout << "hello world" << std::endl;

Which is such an improvement over

puts("hello world");

* Ruby on Rails components sometimes redefines `=` as a hash merge. E.g. this

config.action_mailer.default_options = {from: 'no-reply@example.com'}

actually adds `from` to the default options instead of overriding it completely.

> pre-delivery forwarding servers just need to be added to spf. If you use random third party smtp relays, then this is precisely what spf is trying to avoid.

The huge problem here is "forward all e-mail I receive to my gmail account" or similar. If you do that pre-delivery, you break SPF. If you do it post-delivery, gmail makes you responsible for any junk that gets through. If you make your filters harsher, the user complaints some e-mails are lost. What is your solution to this problem?

> the way internal servers implement aliases is their problem, there is not necessarily a need to go through an smtp relay (my mail server doesn't)

Now you send an e-mail to contact@yourbank.tld and the message is rejected because of your SPF policy and their usage of internal relays. You can (a) fight the corporate shitshow to get someone to fix the bank's relay; or (b) relax your SPF policy. You may be willing to pursue (a), but a company that sells e-mail services to thousands of clients just cannot enter those fights and still be economically viable.

Don't get me wrong. I use SPF (DMARC actually) on my personal server and it actually helps (as a low volume sender), but the moderate volume senders' problems are different from those of personal e-mail servers, and SPF works much worse there.

Doesn’t paper bags literally mean demand for more papers and consequently more jungle would be destroyed?
It is incredibly frustrating that police don’t seem to actively enforce the majority of the laws. My local police seem anemic. There sure are a lot of them, though. Patrol cars are always visible. And, (right-wing) politicians seem to always want to be hiring more and upgrading their gear. For instance, recently they asked for a $30M shooting range. But, if the local newspapers are a good record, it seems that all they seem to do is give out speeding tickets, enforce drug laws, and and bust minorities and immigrants (for whatever). I’m not being facetious.

Anthropic arguments are brought up when someone notices the seeming improbability of the universe we observe around us, and whenever someone suggests that it's worth digging into that to figure out if there's a deeper reason for it. Why, out of all the possible values they could have taken, did the fundamental constants of our universe take the specific values we observe, and which happen to give rise to complex accumulations of matter and energy?

We know of nothing -- yet -- to suggest those particular values were necessary. We know that even tiny changes to those values produce a very different universe in which significant accumulations of matter and energy don't occur.

So the particular universe we observe around us appears to be staggeringly improbable.

The anthropic argument says "well, we observe it, therefore it happened, therefore don't bother digging any more because that explains that". And it's incredibly unsatisfying.

(I should note Barrow and Tipler did go further and proposed a variety of anthropic principles, some of which border on religious, but I'm talking here mainly about the base anthropic argument, as trotted out way back at the start of this comment chain)

There are people who look for deeper theories in which the particular conditions we observe do fall out as necessary. There are people who work on multiverse theories where it's inevitable that at least some universes will have conditions amenable to complex accumulations of matter (and thus to conscious observers). There are even people who've gone way out there proposing theories of natural selection applied at the level of whole universes, where arrangements of the constants that help a universe "reproduce" more (usually through forming singularities) are also coincidentally ones which require complex accumulations of matter.

There's a whole wealth of things out there to think about and explore. But anthropic arguments tell us to just shrug our shoulders, say it's totally unsurprising that a seemingly-so-unlikely thing happened, and stop trying to explore.

(and, of course, they do it in a away that's suspect from both a logical and a probability standpoint)

> I would love to do frontend web development but the current high-churn Javascript ecosystem makes me dizzy; this is probably a naive question but will it be possible to do web-development without integrating in the Javascript ecosystem using WebAssembly and Rust someday?

there are 2 different things, there is the DOM/Web API and the language, Javascript.

Nobody forces you to use anything from the JavaScript ecosystem, not even node.js, in order to use the DOM. This complexity is totally unnecessary.

I personally settled on Typescript, nothing more. Its compiler gives me Javascript WITH static typing, and converts my code to a version of JavaScript that will run on the majority of the browsers, even internet explorer 8/9 or old Android browsers. No need for React,Angular, Webpack, Babel and all that stuff...

As I'm not writing games or photoshop in the browser I see no need to use Rust,C,C++ and the SDL just to write web apps.

IMHO some people ultimately miss the true usefulness and use case for WASM: making existing C,C++,... libraries available to Javascript developers, not replacing JS with language X or Z.

> gmail makes you responsible for any junk that gets through

I'd argue this is the fair and correct behavior. Effectively you created a kind of open relay server. Since you accept external traffic, you should be filtering for spam there.

> the message is rejected because of your SPF policy and their usage of internal relays

I'd assume that if it is an internal relay server, then it shouldn't be checking for spf internally. Only the server receiving incoming external traffic should check spf. Sounds like a misconfiguration.

Paper bags don't add up to much. The Indians use vast numbers of small bags. I weighed a paper bag I got some fruit in just now, 7g. Divide by x to compensate for realistic recycling. A tree weighs several million grams. Not all of it becomes paper, but still, one tree is a lot of 7g bags.

Adding to that: Once the paper is burned or rots, the route back to a new tree is fairly short. Not like plastic, which forms new oil in fifty million years.
Yes - it's a weak argument, and one that's probably been debunked by looking the way https lifted off recently. My view is if port 465 was still around today, it would probably get the same level of attention as port 443 has. We could have been at a stage where port 25 could be made intentionally unavailable (same way we move browsers from http to https) and everything forced to 465. Email agent developers would be forced to update their practices as well, no email should be sent over plaintext. At present, there is no good way to tell your clients you're not accepting plaintext. STARTTS is from a world where 99% of emails were plaintext.
