One should use what is necessary and no more. If server side templates work for you - great.

My rule of thumb: if I need to do more then a trivial amount of DOM manipulation then I will use a framework, because otherwise I will end up writing my own anyway (which I can easily do) which wastes development time.

For projects with several developers a framework can help maintain common coding style and reduce ramp up time for new hires.

Also, good frameworks come with nice tooling that make for more productive development. For example, Vue + Vuex and the Vue browser plugin are great for inspecting the state and observing state transitions.

An example of my use case: I have a non-SPA app that receives various data via Websocket and the view is immediately updated. Several components take this same data and render it in different ways. Vue is excellent for this. I still use templating on the server side for the basic page structure.
Second paragraph of the Texas declaration: "maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery - the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits".
I agree slavery has a central role, I was just saying that it was also presented as a central role previously, just not as the only role. The headline implies, at least to me, that slavery wasn't being taught as having a role at all. From the article:

"The state's previous social studies standards listed three causes for the Civil War: sectionalism, states' rights and slavery, in that order."

It seems that without the catalyst of slavery, and the vitriol towards blacks and the idea that they might obtain equal rights, was probably the only way these issues of states rights would have come to war.
Yes. But who / where are (e.g.) solar panels being made? Who is trying hardest to be the winner of this new "energy race"?
For what it’s worth, I spent a lot of time studying the CW for the past few years as a hobby. The states rights thing came down to equal enforcement of federal policy.

Around 1830 prior, South Carolina was denied the ability to set its own port tariff when it tried to assert states rights. See Tariff of Abominations. When the fugitive slave act wasn’t enforced it was seen as northern legal bias. This was a big deal because it was already seen as big problem. Around the time of the war, 80% of the US federal tax revenue came from the south while most spending benefited the north.

The root cause of the war was absolutely slavery, but when people say there were a lot of contributing factors...they aren’t kidding. Including parts that nobody on either side wants to talk about.

The history is really interesting and studying it goes a long way toward helping to understand how we got to where we are as a country today. 150 years ago or not, we still feel the effects today.

> Slave owners in the south were a very small percentage of the population.

This is an especially pernicious lie. A very small percentage owned vast plantations with hundreds of slaves, but the deeper into the south you went the higher the percentage of slave owners. 32% of all households in the south owned slaves. 49% of all Mississippi households and 46% of all in South Carolina households owned slaves. A slave was an aspirational purchase in the south; for those households that did not own a slave it was more likely to be due to poverty than principles.

> ... implementation re-written from the ground up

Rewriting a big project from scratch is often used as something to brag about: "Look at all the hard work we accomplished!". Except in software what matters is correctness and efficiency, not the age or the code or the size fo the rewrite. Rewriting "from the ground up" is throwing away years of bugfixes[1].

Maybe this new version is fine; I'm only suggesting that big re-implementations should be seen as an unknown risks, and that "carefully refactored problematic areas of the code" is something worth bragging about on a slide.

The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton Christensen (the book itself is 20 years old but I only read it recently). It’s a fantastic analysis of why successful companies get displaced by disruptive technologies —or, the other way around, why it’s so complicated to innovate in successful companies.

The underlying reasons exposed by the book are timeless and universal. As I read the book (which, again, is 20 years old and focuses on the hard drive industry) I recognized all the pitfalls my previous company went through as it was trying to adapt to public Cloud.

This book is a powerful lens to look at disruptive innovation, well-written and very thoroughly researched. A must read if you’re working in technology IMO.

‘Donors in Saudi Arabia’ isn’t the same thing as the Saudi government. They are very sloppy with their money though, hence the reference to secondary funding (not a direct line) of groups including Al Qaeda, but that’s more like Al Qaeda supporters embezzling Saudi aid money that intentional support by the house of Saud for a group that hates them and that attacked a city the Saudi royal family has invested billions of dollars in.

The problem with the Saudis is they are very sloppy with their money, pretty incompetent and see certain forms if jihadism as legitimate. The incompetence means they often act counterproductively. Those are all problems and the western world needs to try to manage and limit the damage they cause. However hallucinating conspiracy crap on top of that just obscures the picture and makes tackling the real problems a lot more difficult.

It's not immediate like it would be with decimals, but ⅜ -> 6/16 -> 12/32 -> 24/64 is still something I find I can do (and track) in my head with ease. Yeah, doing it repeatedly on a task would get a little tiresome. Also, who knows where the numbered and lettered series drill bits fit in without a chart.

The fractional system isn't perfect for all use cases by any means. (My understanding is that a lot of machining just deals with decimal inches directly.) I just find it convenient for many everyday tasks. I'm also weird, I guess, in that arithmetic on fractions feels easier than on decimals.

Thinking more about my original statement, a lot of it has to do with halving (e.g. finding a center) being a common operation for many tasks. It also helps that most things are sold in those fractional increments too :)

> Linux gives you the same choices and a couple more options.

Only as the builder of an application. The application developers for Linux, on the whole, only ever chose option one, leaving everyone who uses their software no option that doesn't involve recompiling from source (which, as I've mentioned, is a ridiculous thing to expect people to do just to use your software).

I have several dozen applications on Windows that are not installed. Many of them aren't even designed to be portable, yet were easily made such just by extracting their files from the installer into a directory. I can put these applications on a thumb drive and take them to an entirely different Windows system and run them without installing them their either. These directories are exactly as they'd exist in C:\Program Files.

This is of course because they have copies of their dependent DLLs in their install directory, but only the ones that aren't part of the Windows distribution. Let's look at one: WinDirStat. It is 2.1MB total, 856KB for the executables, 844KB for dlls, and the rest is assets, docs, and configuration. This is a GUI application, but you'll notice it doesn't have to include a toolkit because it uses the one that comes with every Windows install. The DLLs, as far as I can tell, are unique to WinDirStat, so it wouldn't be unfair to say that this application actually doesn't have any dependencies other than the base OS.

That's what Linux can't get you. There is no base OS above syscalls. You can't depend on anything being there because there are hundreds of distributions and what's available to link with changes with configuration, distribution, and often version.

If I could, I'd have all my Linux applications as AppImages which follows pretty much the same model as portable applications do on Windows. As I said though, Linux developers rarely offer that as an option.
in 1861 more than 1/10th of what would later become the army of northern virginia owned slaves— 1 in 12 enlisted men and over half of the officers.

"only" 1 in 20 white southerners in the confederacy personally owned slaves on paper, but this is like making an org chart of the institution of slavery & only counting senior management.

if you look at the 1860 us census & expand the analysis to slave owning households of the
confederacy, the rate was closer to 1 in 3.

SpiderMonkey (gjs) is a fast JIT. Of course you'll have more RAM usage than with a compiled language, but performance should be good.

(And don't forget that many GUI applications spend way more time in the GUI library's code than in the application code.)
When your project is such a size that a single person can keep it all more or less in their head (in this case, Evan), clean slate rewrites end up being fairly efficient. It's a much different case than 20->200->2000 devs scale applications. It's vastly more easy to develop something from scratch if you'd put a lot of thought into it over time

Not to be too cliche, but a sufficiently advanced AI would be able to solve this problem, because it would have the ability to recognize context as humans might. The more interesting question will be what such an AI would do with words that native speakers of a language do not agree on e.g. in English words like "crap" or "damn." I think the future problem will be AIs that are either too conservative or too liberal when it comes to censoring "mild" vulgarities (and then I will probably say, "a sufficiently advanced AI would adjust the censorship level by the audience to avoid that problem," etc.).

Just as a side note, the US system gets worse and worse when you look beyond the everyday units of measure.

>Robots, i hope.

Funny, I have the opposite dream for technology where it alleviates the need to pack in as tightly as possible into cities for no particular purpose other than a job. While some people do truly love the city for the density and variety of amenities (I did when I was young), many people are forced to go there because that's where the good jobs are. This is made obvious by the number of people willing to commute an hour in from suburbs.

Ideally the only people living in high density are people who want that, which could easily be enabled by technology (remote working).

Texan here who was educated in the "state's rights" regime and had to learn about the slavery 'angle' in college...

As opposed to most wars, where history was written by the victors, in the US Civil War was mostly written about by the losers. They immediately went about reinventing the war in order to ease their conscience. I mean, the South deliberate started the war to defend an absolutely evil act (slavery), and in the ensuing conflict brought utter ruin on their society. The North was complicit in this rewriting because their main interest was in reintegration and reunification of the country.

Unfortunately, fast forward 100+ years, and now we have people talking about state's rights, and not about slavery. Counterrevisionism, in this case, is more than justified.
You're creating a distinction here that does not exist in any shape or fashion, except for size. The difference between a state government and a federal government is simply over the scope of their decisions. In other words a federal government is no more guaranteed to make good decisions than a state government bad. The exact same sort of powers that enabled the US federal government to abolish slavery are the same sort that enabled governments time immemorial to enforce it. In contemporary times it's the same power that enabled the Nazis to enact their agenda on a national level. Many people try to convince themselves that such wrongs might never happen again on a national level, but is there any logic for this? To me it seems to be simply cognitive dissonance.

So the question is this: Is a government that is closer to the people that it governs, both figuratively and literally, more or less likely to create decisions that are beneficial to the people of that region than a strong centralized government great distances from them? There's a disconnect here that can bias what you see. Imagine a government falls to corruption and starts enacting negative policy at a rate of 10% per year. And now imagine we have 1000 sovereign governments. Each and every year you'll see some 100 different governments engaged in all sorts of awful behavior. Now let's swap it around and imagine we only have 1 single world government. In 100 years you'd only see 10 years of any bad acts. But the big difference is that when those acts were carried out they would be global in impact and their magnitude is something one can only imagine.
