I don’t think the comparison with JQuery vs JS is at all similar. JSX was created for React, and nearly every time you see React code it’s using JSX. Technically, each of them can be used separately, but it’s a very reasonable impression to consider JSX one of the main features of React.

JS was not created for JQuery, and you can not used JQuery without JS.
Well I'd argue they don't know what they want really, in that they want two divergent things, "better public services" and "low taxation"

Personally I didn't mention Social security, I know the attitude to people claiming benefits from those not on them in the UK

I was thinking of the problems in local gov. spending where the central grant has radically decreased, the problems in police spending with far fewer front line officers, the problem in the courts system which is having major impacts there.

The bit about "going along with it" was primarily about the corporation tax cuts.

Those cut revenue and don't directly help citizens (unless you believe in trickle down economics!). A more rational approach would be to want lower personal taxes surely?
Not only does fear create a subservient mindset, it artificially elevates the need to the gov / politicians. That is, we can't no protect ourselves from these unseen forces, so some entity - spending as much as our money as possible - has to do that for us.

Per "Here Comes Everybody" (and similar books) the internet can allow the normally separated to organize and GTD. The __exact__ role the gov has played in the past. But people have to be willing to do that. Unfortunately, escalating fear and decisiveness maintain the power status quo.

I know that the 'borrowing off the next generation' is a popular sentence, but, does that means anything at all?

Would you prefer to live in a country with a high public debt and industry, infrastructure and an educated population or in a dessert with zero public debt?

What even means the 'public debt' number when a country have its own currency and inflation is under control? Nothing at all.
By that logic the government should simply increase spending 10x on disability and everything will be great!

No, you've made a logical leap that isn't warranted.

There is nothing wrong with running a balanced and cautious budget, and I didn't say there was. But cutting spending on a service unnecessarily, when doing so raises the total long-term spending on that service is categorically inefficient. It's a classic example of short-termism – government ends up simultaneously forking over more money, and achieving less!

Everything has an ROI, everything has an efficiency.

Yes, I agree. That's why UK government austerity should focus less on inefficient spending cuts to essential services, and more on restructuring the economy.
I think we're at a place where using the phrases "Art of ...", "Science of...", and "Art and Science of ..." are not interpreted with the literal definitions of art or science in mind. Typically, in colloquial (as opposed to formal) writing, "art" comes with an understanding of "all the steps haven't been quantified and some intuition is involved" and "science" tends to be "here are the steps to take and the items to observe and the things to change in response."

So I disagree: there is Art and Science to, well, most things; including leading projects.
I don't see how your quote relates to the second para, can you explain?

Increased spending on disability won't reduce future spending; whilst selling off children's playground, say, is likely to be detrimental later.
Like in everywhere else. Employment is, obviously, a function of investment.
Repeated Meaures ANOVA in Python with Statsmodels
I've previously struggled with the encoding of books on Project Gutenberg. In theory each text file has a header that specifies the encoding and other data about the book like author and title. In practice the header format varies unpredictably (likely it was written manually and not meant for machine consumption) and even if you can parse the encoding value, you might have one that says ASCII but is actually some Windows code page, or UTF-8, or something completely different. And that encoding is also used in other parts of the header, so it can happen that you fail to parse the header because you don't know which encoding to use. One book actually used different encodings in different parts.

After collecting a messy tangle of special cases over several days, I threw in the towel and just used BeautifulSoup's UnicodeDammit to brute-force a working encoding.

Maybe the Swedish book didn't indicate a vs å in the first place, though.
Because of legal reasons we can only have books from the public domain. If you know some that are free, just point me to them and I'll match them for you. I need them to be in .epub format for both languages.

Simple measurements of money spent don't show the whole picture (as the article discusses). Many of the harshest cuts were against services for the poor, while other expenses (military, pension support for richer citizens) saw raises in spending above inflation.
Oh the poor people who try to learn German by reading Kafka.
I'm not sure literature in general is suitable for learning a language that you don't already have a tight grip on. Maybe children's books, but even then it's too far removed from spoken language for some languages.

Yes but you are neglecting to mention the other side of this coin: also one of the most expensive countries in the world. Look at purchasing power parity and the UK doesn’t seem rich at all, it’s all on paper only. Housing, fuel, transportation etc are all disproportionately expensive here.

it's not so much Conservatism as Britain having a strongly individualist, liberal (as in liberty) political history.
That's a valid objection, though I think council tax is a particularly tricky issue to deal with in the UK – it's a highly regressive tax, but reform is difficult to achieve while the people who would be most affected by a proper reform would be Conservative voters.

Youth unemployment goes hand in hand with dysfunctional economies. The government does not create jobs by mass spending.

In Canada we have marginally less 'government spending' and lower taxes and we have a very low unemployment rate.

Now, a country certainly could operate effectively with higher rates of government spending, but my point is that this is not really the factor.

Spain does not have a competitive economy and that's that.
> in that they want two divergent things, "better public services" and "low taxation"

They think this can be achieved be being more efficient (all the newspaper articles about NHS wastage and middle managers), and spending less money on things they don't want (overseas aid is a common example.) So the two things aren't necessarily at odds.

> unless you believe in trickle down economics!

I think a lot of people do.

> A more rational approach would be to want lower personal taxes surely?

I think a lot of British people see a large successful business as a virtuous success story, and so want them 'punished' less with less taxes.

(I'm not saying any of this is my opinion, but it's definitely what a lot of people here think.)

Thanks for confirming my point so well. It's lovely how bottom-up democratic everything becomes as soon as blame and punishment are being thrown about.

What do you think austerity is if not widespread drastic "reforms" among other things? The Greeks did go to great lengths to appease the eurogroup but still needed a fundamental debt trimming.

Wonder how long before he is sacked. Rare instance of establishment official bucking the narrative. These kind of reports are usually made about 'inconvenient regimes'.

Austerity [1] is a dubious predatory ideology pushed by neoliberal economists parroting the mantra of freemarkets, privatization while pushing crude policies that benefit special interests. The modus operandi is defund public services, raise a ruckus about ensuing chaos and build the rationale for privatization.

A country with its own currency is a not a household. In the case of the US the dollar being the global reserve currency provides even more freedom compared to any other country. Simplistic household type comparisons by agenda driven economists about complex modern economies are grossly misleading.

You cannot bailout banks to the tune of trillions and them impose austerity on the population, this is not capitalism or freemarkets, its gross corruption. Where did this money come from? What about all the scares of 'runway inflation' by such massive injections, why were creditors bailed out and not debtors? Why shouldn't these funds be spent on the people the government represent and not special interests?

Mark Blyth [1], Michael Hudson [2], Steve Keen and Joseph Stiglitz [3] are doing a lot of work on neoliberal economics and dubious policies like austerity.

Does software count as an 'item' for you? If yes, for me (and I guess many others here) it would be various products of JetBrains, also Kotlin (even if I did not pay for that one directly) and OCR software from Abbyy. Also did not pay for, but use daily: nginx.
It's a different pattern of living. If you mostly use a car then you know about highways, traffic jams, parking, etc.

If you mainly use public transports, then you know what places are easily reached that way, when the last train, bus, etc. goes in the evening.

There is stuff that is hard to do with public transport (be in the middle of nowhere early in the morning) and there is stuff that is hard to do with a car (go out drinking in a city center).

I don't think price is the main motivation to use cloud. Ease of use, vast resources to provision without any significant delay and pay for what you use are the main factors.

If your infra is not mission critical and if you have deep pockets you can afford to be tied to a vendor. Otherwise - having skilled expertise and designing your architecture in vendor agnostic way is pretty much essential.
My point was more to do with thinking differently, not knee-jerk reacting to some click bait about rude town names.

We all know of the 'Scunthorpe Problem' (at least on HN) but nobody cares to then think why Scunthorpe is called Scunthorpe. Even the Wikipedia page on the 'Scunthorpe Problem' doesn't link to the other Wikipedia page on Scunthorpe that divulges the etymology of the name.

Had the people there not changed their town's name then they would have been fine. None of the Anglo-Saxon four letter words are new, they could have avoided the problem people have with the town name.

Before the internet there was witty graffiti to be found in places such as public conveniences. Graffiti wasn't just inane tags in those days, people had something to say, including 'who put the [redacted] in Scunthorpe?', a 'quote' I remembered because it was funny. So the 'problem' is not a new one, it has been around for a long time, pre-dating the internet and iphones by many, many decades.

Clearly there is more to the etymology than what was handed down with the Domesday Book, there is centuries of language evolution plus the pride a town has in its name.

So there is no trite 'holding it wrong' point here and there certainly isn't any egotistical programmer telling the world to name their towns in American English friendly unicode, with all humour and culture removed. Just a not-mentioned point on how Scunthorpe used to be spelt differently, and, had this original spelling stayed the course then the town would not be the poster child for badly named towns.

There's also a babel script that you can drop into a script tag and will transpile stuff in the browser for you if you want JSX.

Not recommended for large projects in production (but then I'd be using webpack or similar for large vue projects too), but it works pretty well (and surprisingly fast) for quick experiments.
As an example, the default reaction to accessing an invalid index in a Swift array is trapping. How would you solve this “properly”? Returning an optional (ie. Maybe) would be too cumbersome and wouldn’t lead to safer code in practice.
That's also my conclusion after toying a bit with those frameworks. You want to use them for specific pages ressembling applications, but you still want the main structure of your frontend to be defined server-side, using the most standard technology.

This lets you split your interface into more isolated components, and makes you free to use different framework depending on the type of interaction your page needs, as well as be able to update your site progressively.

Yep, things leap seconds have been used for. The moon also constantly robs Earth angular momentum via tidal interactions.

But an even bigger issue is that the sidereal day (one 360° rotation of Earth as measured against distant stars) is not 24 hours but roughly four minutes less. And the length of the solar day also varies over the year due to the slight eccentricity of Earth’s orbit—days near perihelion are slightly longer than near aphelion. And then there are the higher-order effects caused by gravitational interaction with other planets...
And those 6 pins are separate TX and RX pairs, and 2 grounds.
The pins disconnected are 5V, which would potentially damage things or cause an overcurrent flag to trip (turning off both ports) if this was connected on both ends, and D+/D-, which is the bidirectional USB2.0 data pair that normally has fixed host/device roles and needs a special controller (like the one in your phone) to be dual role, so it's easier to just disconnect it. The USB3.0 TX/RX pairs are only one way each (think like RS232 null modem but much faster), so it's much easier.

This is a good example of how USB3.0 works almost like a separate, parallel bus to USB2.0.

What has speech to text got to do with net neutrality?
Isn't it weird how austerity often targets the poor, while e.g. salaries of bureaucrats or politicians, as well as military and police spending are rarely part of these strategies.

One can discuss about austerity as an effective strategy to slim-fit a nation. Making the government and public processes more effective, streamlined and effective, using less manpower to reach the same goal and increasing the efficency, speed and simplicity at the same time – this is a good goal. BUT this is definitly not what usually happens when governments say they need to save money, because those who know how to make the processes more efficient usually don't like to cut their own jobs/salaries/responsibilities.

So they just cut some public service that affects nobody meaning-/powerful instead and sell it as a big reform.
A recession means that not enough money is spent in the economy.

In that situation, a government should increase the spending, not use the situation as an excuse for cutting the public sector because ideological reasons.

Or do you think that the intention is to restore those services when the economy goes better?
The money I'm saving is real, so I feel confident that those numbers aren't too far off the truth.
I'm not sure about the successful business piece. Look at the protests over tax dodging by companies.

I'd say that kind of attitude is common in the US, but less so in the UK.

Albeit I'm seeing things from a Scottish rather than English perspective, but I've not seen an appetite for lower company taxes..

My guess for continued support of this kind of policy is that people think other things are more important (e.g. brexit) + tribalism in voting habits (we've always voted that way round here) + of course the terminally broken FPTP voting system.
