A graceful shutdown can be considered fraudulent.

By doing a graceful shutdown, they will take much bigger losses in the last few weeks of trading, which is the directors not fulfilling their duty to shareholders.
You actually forgot the best one: Vue.js.
Most public companies offer employee stock benefits. That matters for short-term stock price, as much as possible. But ultimately the employees are only minority shareholders, so don't have enough to actually increase value. (The main shareholders are institutional investors, who have a lot of clout.) For private companies, of course, it's a different story and the founders/board/investors often have more clout. Private companies are also less likely to grant (non-liquid) equity, but rather offer it as options, which is more like a lotto ticket.

Well, TBF, that's really for two people eating right etc. I, personally, am probably saving only half that.

Vaccine comes from the latin "vaccinus", a derivative of "vacca" (cow) and means "related to cow" or in this case more like "of cow origin". For example in italian "latte vaccino" means cow milk. So there is no -cine part, only a "-inus" suffix that simply means "related to" or "coming from". You can see that in a lot of words of latin origin. In fact the term "latin" itself comes from "latinus" which means "related to Latium" or "inhabitant of Latium" (a region in central Italy)

Unrelated, but as for the origin of the latin term "vacca", it may come from vedic, with the meaning of "the animal that moos"

It’s only “petty” if you know about the censorship, which obviously is not what China intends to happen.

The people in 1984 weren’t talking about how petty it was that the party censored that news article the other day. They just literally never know about that news article.
Oopsie! Thanks for the heads-up.

Uber and Lyft IPOs look to me like they are legal ponzy schemes.

Both companies lose a crazy amount of money, they have close to zero moat, customers have no loyalty and will go to another rideshare service if it is one dollar cheaper. The fundamentals don't make any sense, but still we read everywhere that Lyft and Uber at those prices make sense.

The VCs and founders decided to get out while the market is up (and while they still can) and they will sell their shares to the "dumb" public that will buy into another overhyped tech stocks without really understanding the fundamentals. The employees cannot sell before 6 months, they are locked out.

After a couple weeks the market will probably realize this stock is overvalued and it will start to go down, but at that point all the big fishes will be out already and who will hold those toxic assets? individual investors and employees that cannot yet sell.
A sad day for OSS indeed. A lot of great Chinese developers have helped me over the years.

> If you're talking about missing a JS equivalent of rails, do you know about Loopback?

I would not go down that route, because at least Loopback 3 looks promising at first, but after a while it does not scale dx-wise. The biggest trap my team fell into, was that you could „include“ related models in a request, that you did not have permissions to. Media management was also very poor and did not integrate well into the whole eco system.

We are now using TypeORM[1] and routing-controllers[2] which has been very nice so far. I have been building my own framework at work on top of these and it safed us a good chunk of time. If you want to have a look, go to my profile, I have put a link there.

And here I was wondering why my repo was suddenly getting starred. Glad you enjoyed my work and thanks for sharing it!
No you don't.

For example, most consumer ice makers on the market in the UK has the same design flaw. I know because I learned in frustration to spot the signs. The design is clearly copied by multiple manufacturers. The problem is someone cut a few cents of their BOM by leaving out a sensor for when the water tray has rotated far enough, and instead just runs the motor 'long enough'.

Except most models on the market uses a plastic tray where doing that repeatedly eventually causes the tray to crack from the stress.

Most consumers buying those products won't know. It took my second one breaking and me taking apart both that one and my third one before I realised how the design is broken. Turns out even wildly different looking models still use the same basic mechanism.

In this case it's a trivially fixable machine once you know what the problem is if you have access to a spare tray. The exact same part would fit in many mods. Except they're not available for sale. So you junk 5-10kg of serviceable metal and plastic parts because of lack of a 100g part.

That may be fine for the manufacturers, but it's hugely detrimental to society that these products are being sold when most people have no way of telling upfront that they'll fail - it takes just long enough heavy use that most reviews don't reflect the problems.

Nonsense arguments for building a bigger particle collider
I'd consult if mine was over 90 at night for no apparent reason (usually below 50, but went as high as 80 during a hard hiking week). Monitoring my nightly heart rate (Samsung Watch) gave me quite an insight on my general shape. When sickish, definitely not going as low as usual...
Not true nowadays, e.g try COGO. I'd say, the grip is even stronger compared to Lego, even after long time use.
Pretty disappointing. China has blocked GitHub multiple times in the past [1], each time unblocking it due to backlash and criticism. Hopefully they unblock it again soon.

There is a strong narrative around rust being suitable for “extracting/wringing/squeezing” the last drop of performance.

Why do people pushing those claims think a go program compiled down to native executable is slower then rust
Is it the rust compiler is better ? Is the go stdlib slower ? Is it the gc

The GC is going to add some overhead is it that bad for most uses except for real time critical large s/w
From what I can read (wikipedia) your links say the opposite. "The flag has a ubiquitous presence in Taiwan", "found in numerous government offices in Taiwan and is that which the President and Vice President face to take the oath of office".

So what is your political 'stand' in this?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_Republic_of_Chin...
What purpose does it serve to take such an uncharitable view on other people?

This community is full of experienced professionals who use Javascript even in the face of alternative options, and we belabor this topic every day.

So what excuse do you have for assuming and hypothesizing that everyone must be an unenlightened boot camp amateur when you could've turned to anyone and simply asked?

For example, to me, modern JS is not substantially worse than other dynamically typed languages. Give me Python and Ruby code and the Javascript version probably looks the exact same. Meanwhile, those languages don't have a 1:1 version of `results = await Promise.map(urls, (url) => crawl(url), { concurrency: 8 })`. And that's not to start a language war but rather to demonstrate a concise example of a technical strength, aka a purely technical ground that a craftsperson could reach for that tool.

But now fold in its advantages like ubiquity, async-everything, runs natively in the browser, and has a static-typing system that's actually catching on, and it should be pretty obvious why someone could pick it when given an option beyond "they don't know any better."

Also, there's the obvious trade-off of treating your server as the API for all of your clients and treating the web as just another client that runs on the user's device instead of essentially coupling it with the server.

But surely these things are obvious or easy to find out, so it's hard to assume good faith in your post.

This does a good job: https://gist.github.com/staltz/868e7e9bc2a7b8c1f754

We are using reactive programming basically everywhere. Example (Angular):

The Angular Router has an Observable "paramMap". We don't subscribe to it but are creating another Observable for the data that should be loaded.

getData$ = (
paramMap$: Observable<ParamMap>
): Observable<MyData> => {
return paramMap$.pipe(
// Create a query string
map(paramMap => {
// some pure function - business logic
return getSomeQueryBasedOnTheRouteParams(
paramMap
);
}),
// get the data
// select$ is a method on the customStore that wraps the http client and does some more stuff
// The switchMap is actually one of the concepts that I found initially not the easiest to understand
switchMap(someQuery=> {
return this.customStore.select$({
query: someQuery
});
}),
map(rawData => {
// pure function with business logic
return modifyData(rawData);
}),
shareReplay()
);
};

Then it goes on with filtering, etc.

getFilteredData$ = (
// filter:$ is in our case a simple Subject we're calling next(newFilterValue)
// NGRX, NGXS or Akita are popular state management libraries to manage this kind of state
filter$: BehaviourSubject<string>,
data$: Observable<MyData>): Observable<MyData> => {
combineLatest(filter$, data$).pipe(
// Do the filtering using pure functions
map( ...
return myFilterFuntion(filter, data);
)
)
};

The filteredData$ Observable can be consumed via async pipe in a component.

The business logic is the same as in imperative-pull code. But using the abstraction of RxJS a lot of boilerplate and indirection vanishes. RxJS is not the easiest abstraction to learn (for me), but as with all, once you're comfortable a lot of the likely intimidating code above will become familiar. You just focus on writing business-logic in pure functions and combine it with RxJS.
The Orwell comparisons may seem trite to you, but the fact is that if there's no available word for a thing, it becomes difficult for people at large to discuss it.

Some organisations conclude that if the masses can't name a thing, then it's impossible for anyone to think of it, and that this makes it go away. Personally I think this underestimates individual people's capacity to think up new names for things, and is therefore doomed to failure.
In this case the PRC is trying to combat something that might be seen as undermining the One-China Policy. Their argument would be that you don't have flags for other illegitimate governments so why have one for this illegitimate government?

Governments have to periodically kick up a fuss about these kind of things or it can be used to undermine their territorial claims, etc.

Similar stuff happens when companies start frivolous lawsuits about trademarks just so it can't be argued they aren't defending their trademarks.
Don't most Chinese devs in China use VPN to access Github anyways?

According to one of the men detained, a border guard quoted the potential fine as US $2,500 per egg.[44]"

Next.js is pretty good, but could still be better.
I said 1984 newspeak. That isn't censorship per se. It's removing the vocabulary to express a dissenting opinion.
The Republic of China was founded in China but then they lost the war against the communists and fled to Taiwan. So that's why they kept on using the ROC flag there.

China doesn't recognise this flag since they consider that Taiwan is part of China. There's also a movement within Taiwan to change the flag but they probably won't do it because China would see that as a move towards independence, and could retaliate.

Hi, I got important feedback on 1.0 here years ago and every comment is valuable. The opinionation topic is very tricky, I thought a lot about that and decided to go unopinionated for maximum compatibility. On the other hand some CMSs simply won't allow adding a table class so there should be an opinionated option or something.

A major principle is CSS-only functionality, accessibility and stability (it probably has the only proper modal window on iPhone Safari).

Its worse than a pandemic because its across so many species simultaneously. Imagine if a flesh eating fungus was killing all mammals around you. What would be the human response to this? It would be a lot stronger than quarantine.

We would immediately slaughter all mammal pets. All rodents would be fumegated from cities whilst everyone wears gas masks in the streets. With children going to school in tented buildings.

Consider this has been going on for decades because real immunity is low, just resistance is better with some species. We would have whole generations maimed from amputations to save their life.

If this was something that affected us more directly it would be the bleakest existence you could imagine.
This is great!! I would really like to see this implemented as a generic library for visualizing data, not limited to ROS. Something like matplotlib on python but with all the output in ASCII.
In the video there is a suggestion on how to hold the wheel without breaking your wrist, so I assume it's not too pleasant to do. They also manually spin the wheel and it looks quite hard and slow (the monitoring pilot alone, which is using his left hand, can barely do it; when the flying pilot helps him with his right hand things go better)
I've really enjoyed working with Tone.js! Many of Songcraft's (https://songcraft.io) audio features are powered by Tone.js. It's been a great way to manage loops, samples, etc. It makes it quite easy to do things like playing notes or chords in time with a looping metronome. Generally really nice for managing a global audio track with volume, mute, etc as well.
Yes I got that. But my point is that this involves second-guessing every design decision.

You propose some new design which is more compact / easier to manufacture / more reliable because it has fewer connectors, and then you take it to the ministry for approval. How do they know whether your changes are justified? Maybe they sketch an easier-to-disassemble variant which is no bigger than yours, and reject your design, but they don't understand the why it will cost you twice as much to assemble that design (in your factory, with your workforce) or why you rejected that kind of connector (your experience with the supplier, or your vibration tests). Can you prove why you made these decisions? Call expert witnesses? This just seems like an impossible minefield to me.

I think better to tilt the balance in other ways, like pushing longer guarantees (regardless of whether the best solution is an unbreakable one-piece object, or a repairable one) and forcing recycling (so that the sticker price includes more of the total lifecycle cost).
"Personally I think this underestimates individual people's capacity to think up new names for things, and is therefore doomed to failure"

Agreed, so I'm not sure why you're disagreeing?

I only mentioned it, to show I understand the wider context, so when I ask "why?" I don't get a load of "because censorship" answers. So not intended to come across as trite.
All that's nice at the language level in favor of JS, but it doesn't speak to the framework level of what all Rails offers compared to everything additional you need to add to React to be comparable. Same deal for some of the frameworks in PHP like Laravel or Drupal.

I'm not sure I buy the whole "homeless person crimes" angle. I've lived here for about four and a half years, in a real sketchy part of the city (SoMa, south of mid-market) and I've never had a problem with homeless people. Yes they sleep in doorways or in tents on the sidewalk, and yes you see people shooting up without trying to hide it. Sometimes they yell at night when I'm trying to sleep and it's annoying.

But I have a real hard time making the mental leap from "these people are an eyesore" to "I think we should force these people to leave." They're just living their lives, trying to make it day to day. They're people. I pass the same homeless people on the way to work and back every day. They're as much a part of the community as I am.

The crime angle seems transparently like dog whistling for people who are really concerned with property values, or for people who turn up their nose at the powerless and wish they'd go be someone else's problem. A few decades ago "crime" and "safety" were euphemisms deployed against urban youth who made middle-class white people nervous. It's depressing to see another generation of the same prejudice, now applied to a different marginalized group.
