Once I realized that the United States has to involve itself in armed conflicts on a regular basis, it was eye opening.

The United States spends more money on the military than any other country. You have to take the military out to stretch its legs every decade or so. If not to prepare for war, but to keep feeding the military expenditure process.

President Eisenhower's farewell address concerning the military industrial complex nailed the course for the United States since concerning conflicts.

I’m not sure what you mean by “lifecycle”, but just to be clear, hooks are tied to the component lifecycle.
Words cannot describe my enthusiasm for this tool - it's all I have been searching for.

I have tried many tools throughout the last couple years in an attempt to declutter my mind and manage my time better each one failed to meet my needs at some aspect: clumsy-UI, not online, not accesible by smartphone/tablet, lacking features and similar.

I can highly recommend this project to anyone skimming the comments - I think it'll suit most people's needs.
> But I do take issue with attacking developers who write applications for free, and contribute to the Linux ecosystem, for making a reasonable request to platform developers.

How is releasing software under a license and asking people not do things allowed by that license reasonable?
He tried to help Chelsea Manning brute force hack passwords on government computers. He's also suspected of being and taking part as Gucifer 2.0. I don't think people can call a person a "journalist" who fronts as one but is really doing illegal activities to obtain documents and data. Receiving them from someone else and publishing is a different issue. Getting them yourself and breaking the law... very fine line.

My issue with this whole WikiLeaks thing is that they are clearly a Russian operation that posed as a "truth seeker" early on and then started to steer their operation 100% at damaging the US. If you're truly a journalist operation, you'd do more to publish and "seek truth" in other countries. You won't find a single story about Russia that's damaging.

Bottom line for me? I think the US believes he's a Putin sympathizer. Or worse, he's a Russian asset.
Wow thanks for posting this!

Some more context:

Over the past month, I must've reached out to at least 70 founders and asked them about some of the books that most shaped their professional careers. Obviously not a lot of them responded, so I started going through some book lists (Sivers' and James Clear's lists are great!), the 400+ indie hacker interviews, and personal blogs, and adding everything I can find.

I managed to get recommendations from a little over 100 founders and makers heavily involved in the tech scene — all suggestions here come from people who run or are involved in revenue-generating businesses.

Hope you find this useful! Still would love to get some suggestions from people like patio11, austenallred, etc so if you're reading this drop me a message!

As always, propaganda. For instance we recently made made major efforts to try to overthrow the government of Venezuela that included, directly or indirectly, digital propaganda efforts. These efforts are ongoing but seem to have failed. Why? It can also be used internally. For instance in the 60s see things such as COINTELPRO [1] or the FBI's efforts to attempts to blackmail and push MLK to suicide. [2]. COINTELPRO is probably where you can draw the most analogs relevant to today - planting fake stories in the media, subverting groups through internal infiltration, compelling 'private' media to prohibit access to targeted groups, character assassination, etc. What are the effects of these actions on digital media, and how can it be used to pursue our interests? The same is true of MLK. The FBI's primary goal was simply to destroy him as a leader. What causes leaders of online movements to disappear in ways that help splinter groups rather than turning them into martyrs?

Bigger question is why in the world this would be made public. I think it's a 100% safe bet to say that the military/intelligence has been engaged in this research for many years already. I see no positive benefit to making this information public aside from preempting 'leaks' / creating preemptive PR.

I always have custom CSS disabled for all subs. The designs are amusing, some are well done, and it's nice that people put effort into designs. However, as I was saying it makes for a terrible and confusing UI experience. Also some designs are intentionally jarring or annoying, and themes often omit elements.
Perhaps you're just most comfortable with react and vue seeming inferior is only a product of that. Both are great at what they do and allow people to be very productive. I personally like both and don't agree that vue only copies react. I definitely prefer how react manages state and redrawing, but both approaches have merits. As always, pick what suits the problem you need to solve.
The BSDs ship with a lot of the original non-man-page Unix documentation: the system manager’s manual, the programmer’s supplementary documentation, and the user’s supplementary documentation. These are written to be typeset with troff, not printed on a teletype like the man pages can be, so they tend to be a bit more refined. https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/share/doc/

That is correct for recording with microphones, however that is largely to avoid having to be overly precise with setting levels in order to maximise the value of those final 16 bits.

This doesn't analogise well to digital instruments, as the minimum and maximum velocity/amplitude/whatever is already known and defined. You already know what the exact potential dynamic range is before the first note is ever played. The concept of headroom doesn't exist. Anything that you can think of which you might define as "headroom" is either beyond the input and/or output capabilities of the device and therefore irrelevant, or it should be within the normal scale.
This is really slick. I like it.

Would love details on browser support, though.
> The article had pretty clear examples of where theming went wrong.

“It's possible to do X wrong” is insufficient to support “You should not do X”.
One of the reasons they cite for distro theming being bad is that it that it makes applications unusable. I think that can be validly summarized as "theming doesn't work".

Calling U.S. military efforts "imperialism" is a rhetorical technique that does more to obfuscate than illuminate. Policing is more accurate than imperialism. Imperialism historically refers to directly taking control over other countries, often for purposes of diverting resources from the vassal states to the empire. What the U.S. does is materially different. We didn't go into Iraq and make it a province of the U.S., shipping oil back to the U.S. (Note that I was against the Iraq war. I think it was a waste of U.S. money. But calling it "imperialism" is lazy rhetoric.)
In that case, the more devs realize that excessive notifications have the opposite effect as intended, the better.
IMO, the biggest appeal of Vue is the same PHP's had for a long time - the ability to just drop a file on a server and see it working. Embedding Vue via <script> tag works beautifully - no Webpack, no plugins, etc.

Great way to get started and experiment. Sure, once you want to do more, you'll want build tooling etc., but that initial ease is really compelling for someone who's learning.

Great read! I was active in the gb dev scene in the late 90s (hmu if you remember gbdev99 or the bunghk contests), and it's amazing to see so many of the names and libraries built so long ago still come up today. The Game Boy is still one of my favourite platforms today; such a great example of what you can accomplish with very limited resources if you have enough creativity. We've seen some of the best games of our generation come out on a battery-powered device with a CPU that can't even multiply.

For a software project, library/framework choice is the most critical thing one must do.

For the VueJS case, i did really want to adopt it for my projects, but there's a fact that i'm not confident. They're not just "function".

And as i said above, in React case, they're moving away from "component lifecycles", so if i chose VueJS, i'll get stuck in that paradigm.
I think you can add stuff like Twine and Inkle's scripting language Ink to that. Their user base is emphatically not programmers, but they are definitely domain specific languages.
”The second legit feature is that zip archives can contain symbolic links pointing to an arbitrary location (including automount enpoints) and that the software on MacOS that is responsable to decompress zip files do not perform any check on the symlinks before creatig them.”

Is that truly legit? It’s very similar to having web servers accept URL paths containing full paths or “../“, both of which have been the cause of many security vulnerabilities.

Because as you age you see how change is implemented. You watch the drift.

Example. In my youth police were called peace officers. Their main mission was to enforce the peace at the expense of bending the law.

Today law enforcement disrupts the peace to enforce the law. Society is not better off because of it.

Watching presidents change what they called the nation from Republic to Democracy has also been something that happened. A republic is a nation of laws where everyone has the same rules. A democracy is simply a majority vote and currently the constitution and the laws are being marginalized.

That is why folks bring up this "canard"

FYI calling something constitutionally guaranteed, a canard is exactly to what I refer

The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against domestic Violence.

Research how effective the Israel Border Wall was with stemming illegal immigration.

While it will not be 100% effective, it will reduce the inflow substantially enough to allow our Border Patrol personnel to focus on the fewer numbers without being overwhelmed.
The U.S. also spends more money on education and healthcare than any other country. How is that at all surprising? The U.S. spends 3.1% of GDP on the military, more than the EU average, but less than Russia. Given the state of the world, where we've made an express commitment to protect the EU from Russia, that should not be surprising.

Comparing military spending as one big lump $600 billion for the U.S. versus $225 billion for the EU versus $60 billion for Russia ignores several really important things.

First, a dollar buys you much more in Russia than in the U.S.[1] Adjusted for purchasing power, Russia's defense budget is more equivalent to $180 billion: https://www.defensenews.com/opinion/commentary/2019/05/03/ru.... (The same is actually true for Europe too. Europe's PPP GDP is 20% higher than its nominal GDP, making the EU 28 defense budget more like $270 billion U.S.)

Second, it's not unreasonable for the U.S. to want to not merely achieve parity, but have a decisive advantage. Having a decisive technological edge costs you exponentially more money. The 747 cost about $7.5 billion (in today's money) to develop. The 787 cost $32 billion. The more advanced technology cost a lot more to develop even in inflation-adjusted dollars. The same is true for all sorts of high-tech industrial equipment. The cost of a new fab tripled from 1998 to 2010: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/418576/the-high-cost-of-u....

Third, going back to Eisenhower, the cost to society of having a military scales with population. We can afford to spend $600 billion on the military more than Russia can afford to spend $60 billion. That's why it makes sense to look at it as a percentage of GDP--how much of our economic output are we devoting to the military, versus other things?

3% of GDP is higher than Europe now, but about the same as what France was spending as recently as the early 1990s: https://tradingeconomics.com/france/military-expenditure-per.... Were we talking about how French military expenditures were a mark of crazy imperialism back then?

[1] To give a concrete example, sources report that Russian subway lines cost 10-15 billion rubles per kilometer: https://www.metro-report.com/news/single-view/view/the-winne.... That’s $150-230 million by exchange rate. In the US, subway lines in SF and LA have ranged from $375-562 million per km. In New York, the Second Avenue subway was $1.6 billion per mile. You’d never compare New York’s or SF’s subway budget with Russia’s without accounting for that.
While this is really nice, it's a shame that a VueJS developer is unable to re-use a React-based text-editor which already exists and he found it perfect. This is why Web Components start making a lot of sense.
I would give it a slightly different name, like "AlphaBeta".

Just "Beta" makes me subconsciously assume the tool isn't finished yet.
Autohotkey is another one of those scripting languages. ::F4:: Send {Alt down}{F4}{Alt up} is so much simpler than whatever I would have to do with Java to remap keys. Same with stuff like WinActivate (window title) and MsgBox "hello world". It does get complicated like the OP says pretty quickly, with match modes and conditionals and stuff, but you can go years using it without getting any deeper.

Personally I also think that he is now a Russian asset or whatever its called. Maybe he needed their help and they were glad to welcome them into their arms, but that's besides the point.

“Can” is not the same as “does”.

Theming literally can break the UI in unexpected ways, however if often doesn’t. But if one manages the theme themselves then they are able to manage those edge cases themselves. If a distro does it then they can’t guarantee the end users are even aware that the unexpected UI is the fault of the distro.

That point was clearly laid out in the letter too. If people had bothered to read it.
No it's most definitely not state of the art. Here is the state of the art:

Rule based systems are currently mostly a fun curiosity, but can also have niche uses e.g. for under resourced languages or for establishing a baseline for a completely new task.

So you are getting downvoted because you are shitposting some off-topic stuff. I don't know why we have to talk about React in every thread about Vue. But I'll respond anyway.

I like both React and Vue. I used React first, but I've used Vue for longer now. React introducing a new feature doesn't change anything about what makes Vue.js good. One thing I like about Vue.js is that basic data binding is a job that is done by the framework, instead of the programmer. Another thing that I like is that async methods are supported everywhere that methods are supported. So async mounted works great for data loading. We do not "know that lifecycle is a bad pattern". Its just a pattern, and implementations can be good or bad.

As for react, I don't think hooks are the end of the story:

> My issue with this whole WikiLeaks thing is that they are clearly a Russian operation that posed as a "truth seeker" early on and then started to steer their operation 100% at damaging the US

The theory here seems to be that Russia is perfidiously undermining the US by exposing the truth to the cold light of day, by nefariously revealing primary sources with limited editing.

I'm not sure I'd rate that as the most successful strategy in their playbook, but maybe it'll work. If it were me, I'd go with more traditional propaganda. That is not a good theory.
Who are you to tell the app developer what they're require to support? It's open source. They don't owe you anything. They don't have to make their software work on Thursdays or work in Canada, let alone survive contact with a hundred weird and unpredictable themes.
It that I’m aware of. But it is certainly possible. There is just a lot of data.
Wow, their financial statements are fascinating. I encourage anyone with an interest to take a look for themselves. Your statement is correct in that they do not directly receive cash from the government. However, they do borrow from the FFB at an insanely low rate of 1.785%, which one could consider a subsidy. It’s very interesting to note also that they have a legal maximum debt load of $15B which they are currently at. Their MD&A states that liquidity could soon become a huge issue. Management pretty much sums up the situation with this statement “legal restrictions on pricing, service diversification and operations restrict our ability to cover our costs to provide secure, reliable and affordable postal services to the nation.”
Good thing theming doesn't modify the software. It's reasonable to expect a developer to support software being used in an environment that does not 100% match what they use (to the extent it's reasonable to expect support in the first place).
And iirc game-ports were usually their own expansion card. It wasn’t until Sound Blaster decided to include it on their cards that we started seeing it integrated into the sound card (part of a sound cards job is Analog to digital conversation, why not do the ADC conversation needed for joysticks as well? Also, games normally also want sound so seemed like a nice why to bundle everything you need onto a single card).

The first is thing is pretty horible, it is however an interesting thing to learn as you WIll encounter people who do this in your career.

Second is probably the best way to learn about a topic and how to debate. Take something you abhore and defend it. It is an incredibly useful skill.

People from US and Canada in general are absolutely terrible at it, this is why in debates vs British or French they usually loose.

I remember going to Monk debate where head of Green Party of Canada got absolutely annihilated, they got under her skin, made her completely loose it to the point moderator had to cut her microphone. It was sad.

I just got an XS after being on Android. I like that iOS has included Screen Time by default with app limits, which seems to be an attempt to help solve the problem of me wasting time and make my phone more of a tool than a toy. I set Social Media to 15 minutes a day so I have a chance to check it then I don't get any alerts. Anything I use for productivity is set to always allowed. The one complaint is that I can't move apps to different categories. I set downtime up so I usually have an hour before and an hour after work. My usage is down 34% from last week.
A large majority of these employees were above 50 and had worked most of their life on the telephone infrastructure (network, last-mile, etc.). In 2004 France’s telephone network was fully mature, there simply wasn’t any more work for them to do. Sure, they could reskill and try their luck with a competing telco (which would have far less infrastructure, as they all piggy-backed on the incumbent). But would a competing telco hire a 50-something ex-civil servant, or someone out of school with more up-to-date skills and no idea of what a union is?

What is the criteria you use to determine they’re successful?

If you have an interactive debugger and a way to test the code, I could see it being feasible. If not, then there’s plenty of examples of DSLs that are in use that people are forced to use and squander time and brain power due to a lack of concepts that real languages have long since addressed.

Since others have mentioned Excel, how many mistakes have been made in long complicated formulas in little tiny input boxes with no way to comment or even explain what on earth the formula calculations are doing? Yet that’s still not addressed, and it’s a nightmare when you come across complicated spreadsheets for this reason.
