>I've kind of trained myself now to say "Maay the diety of your choice bless you" in some cirumstances but I also get chastised for that.

I always say "gesundheit", which is normal in German (it translates to "health"). As a non-religious person, I don't understand why religious people always want to push religion on everyone around them.

The other thing you can do is just not say anything at all when someone sneezes. Asian cultures don't have this practice at all.
Here is the issue that describes what the Svelte team is doing to add support for TypeScript: https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1639
The issue is perhaps not salaries and benefits. Often a lot of effort is taken to try to fill a position internally. This would explain your anecdote -- after some staff churn people were promoted to a position they had no business occupying.

I say this as various friends at times worked for government agencies and sought promotion. They could have filled extant positions due to their experience, but they were denied before becoming a public servant due to lack of public service and then denied after for lack of seniority (even when asking to be considered as an external hire).

Coming from them, jobs often seemed to open up after a person had retired and were catered towards an individual.

Next is not a static site generator, as I understand it. It's a framework for React that includes server-side rendering of HTML, among other things.
You're hired? If I can afford you.. I'll be soon starting a code base that will become unimaginably large, where services are used by many internally developed platforms - and potentially opened up to 3rd parties as well. Email me matt@engn.com if interested in finding out more. Currently designing landing page that will introduce people to my projects, vision, otherwise I'd just link you. First heard of you via your "Effortless Elixir releases and deployment" post.
The paper is really novel in terms of embedding the minimal graph into the Transformer for time series forecasting. As far as I know, there is no paper having done that before.
It's an interesting idea, but one person's independent council is unfortunately another person's lobbyists. There is no, as far as I've ever seen, any scientifically proven middle ground. If there was an established and rigorously proven way to do politics and political accountability, we certainly wouldn't be in this mess.

The challenge is that at every level of accountability, anyone with enough power can find a way to corrupt. There used to be a universal belief in truth, but that belief has been, in many subject matters, largely eroded away. Today, mostly there is only right for you or me. Not so much right as a whole.

I find people on talk shows talking about doing "the right thing". What the hell does that begin to amount to today? Does anyone have a clue?
The 'black market' began self-regulating against the use of pesticides back in 2016/2017 before any regulation kicked in. Consumers became aware that pesticides were present in their vape cartridges and retailers started demanding lab results. After being conned a few times the more responsible retailers started randomly testing products on their shelves for pesticides and dropping vendors who tested positive. By mid-2017 it was very difficult to sell products that were testing positive for pesticides in to retailers in northern california. In southern california it was a different story...but the market was beginning to self-regulate. It just took time for cultivators to learn IPM strategies and respond to market demand. Aside from cultivators many manufacturers started to perform large scale chromatography and liquid-liquid extraction to remediate oil contaminated with pesticides...all without government intervention.

With legalization they've banned certain pesticides but allowed others. Neem oil and sulfur are very commonly used as part of an integrated pest management strategy in the licensed market. I can tell you I do not feel comfortable inhaling neem oil and personally think the quality of oil in 2017 was better in the black market than what is available today.
When Tencent invested, it had 300m users including 40% of teenagers in the US, and were growing fast.

For Tencent (which makes WeChat), it's worth it to spend 0.03% of their market cap to partner with a fast growing app in the US market.
Good point on the AOC proposal. I don't know, since I haven't heard of it, nor have I read too many articles about that specific proposal.

Everything I've read about rising home prices has to do with supply/demand and the disruptive nature of AirBNB etc.

But if you as a journalist are talking about AOC's proposal, your main job is to communicate her proposal to the masses, your secondary job is to talk about why it may or may not work.

It's similar to any Republican counter proposal, if there were one that wasn't just based on dogmas like supply-side economics or "market will fix everything". You communicate the proposal and then talk about potentially how parts of it wouldn't work.

Tribalism is shit and really ruins a lot of these interesting debates. But I don't see true tribalism in places like the NYT. My bigger complaint with institutions like the NYT is that they're made of the same elites they're reporting on, so they aren't able to be truly objective.

Organizations like the Intercept do a much better job of "fuck you everyone, I'm going to expose you" than someone like the NYT. But that's not a republican/democrat thing. That's a lack of diversity (diversity of background, not skin color) problem in their staff.
Why do you believe they haven't/aren't already thought/thinking about these things and solving them? Or are you just genuinely curious?
You're right. Boeing did not make an outlandish leap of logic, or any leap of logic at all in this context, because it was fully their intent to get away with no training. They worked their butts off to minimize the training, to minimize even the very idea that training was needed, and to prevent the Max from having to be re-certified by the FAA.

Oh yeah, I forgot to add: you can't wash linen! You have to dry clean it (or at least a lot of it). Dry cleaning is horrible for the environment, and uses a lot of nasty chemicals, and it's expensive too.
The MDMA lab was discovered after the fire in 2002. There doesn't appear to be a drug lab involved in the most recent raid.
Well even if you favor the status quo being informed is kind of neccessary for everyone doing their job directly for evaluating arguements properly. Trusting the source with a conflict of interest?

While it may be in the congressional authority to do their own research having a shared resource helps all do so and acts as a well of institutional knowledge which makes the system less dependent upon incumbent's assembled teams.

Plus one upside of bueracracies is that they are an anti-spoils system by being harder to sway in a "he who pays the piper sets the tune". If they are wrong then their own private researchers should be able to make a case refuting it.

Willfull ignorance is still unfortunately always possible but having one removes the cover and excuses from bad actors.
If your most pressing issue is making managing state easier, you should run to Svelte! Take a look at how Svelte supports "stores", "context", and state within a component. Those are so good that I predict nobody will ever feel the need to write a state management library for Svelte. It's already very easy!
I think a better term should be "minimally proficient pilot". One that passes all the requirements, but not by very much. That's the lowest common denominator you should be targeting for certification.
Because there is no relationship there at all, nope none, zero.

It's not that state governments have better people in them, it's that there are more of them and they have more competitive pressure. If a local government is too corrupt then people and businesses will start moving away. Which is much easier for them to do than to move to another country. And since the local government doesn't want that, they have an additional incentive on top of voting to keep the local people happy.

You also end up with more policy diversity, so that if you really hate living under the rules in one place, you at least have the option of going somewhere else. Consider whether you would rather have gay marriage legal in California and illegal in Mississippi than to have it uniformly either legal or illegal in all places, but the uniform policy is chosen by a coin flip and if it doesn't go your way then you can't override it with local policy.

The result is that some places will be more corrupt or have rules you can't stand. But some places will be less corrupt and have rules you love that you wouldn't have been able to make into national policy. And if you live somewhere with a policy you can't stand, it's much more feasible for you as an individual to actually affect the local policy. And if that's still hopeless then you have the option to move somewhere else with a different policy, which isn't possible when you impose a federal uniformity that makes 45% of people unhappy.

> State and local governments are much smaller than the fed - meaning corruption and influence are bought at much lower prices than the federal.

That's not really true, because the influence you get is in proportion to the size of the government. If you capture 1% of the federal budget, that's ~50 times larger than 1% of a state budget, so it's worth spending ~50 times more to capture it. Worse, then the regulatory capture gets greater economies of scale and becomes proportionally more available to large players than smaller ones, allowing huge corporations to more easily steamroll over small businesses and individuals. And then the rules entrenching huge incumbents are uniform so you can't avoid them by moving your small/medium business to the next town over.
This is a good idea, but terms in the OTA should be time-limited so that professionals staffing it need to get jobs (or start companies) in the private sector again after 4-5 years. Tech moves quickly, and technical knowledge becomes stale in about that time period. The last thing we need is a government bureaucracy of career civil servants that mandates best practices that were current 40 years ago.

> Does the US not have some kind of similar element?

Not on such a widespread basis, no (exceptions exist). For example, Wikipedia lists the Crown Prosecution Service as one such UK government department, but in the US the Attorney General directly governs the Department of Justice. This led to the then-chronic debate about just who had the authority to oversee/direct the Mueller investigation.

Even when an organization is set up outside the traditional Cabinet hierarchy, its leadership is still typically appointed by the President (often with Senate confirmation), such that a new administration should quickly expect to appoint a working majority of directors.

This can also directly cause problems of governance. The Federal Election Commission (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Election_Commission) is an independent agency that is responsible for administering elections law, but because of Presidental/Senate deadlock the board no longer has a quorum required to take official actions.
> To paraphrase the book, the job of an executive is: to define and enforce culture and values for their whole organization, and to ratify good decisions.

For larger orgs, sure. For small and quickly growing orgs, ie the majority audience here, no.
You can get low THC/high CBD ratios in any format. In Switzerland for example, products with CBD is legal, and up to 1% of THC. So you end up with lots of different products, including dry herb, that has 0-1% THC.

It may be harder to get in places where higher THC content is legal (since most users want more THC), but it's definitely not limited to just wet cartridges.

Of all things in the world, you talk about vaping products?

Do Mexican cartels accept bitcoin? Do black market arms dealers? Prostitution, modern slavery?

Bitcoin increased a thousand times in value, and it made no material difference to circulation of illegal goods. You can't even buy weed from local dealers with it.
I remember a lot of dead reckoning happening in the old Runescape, once upon a time. Many moments of your player running in a direction then getting rubber-banded back because they got interrupted or something.
I couldn't actually figure out what you were trying to do here, but there are a few points I do understand, and can answer:

1. If you want to bind a property it needs to be declared. This is the method of least surprise.

2. I've been running three Svelte sites in production for more than a year now, and 80% of our traffic is iOS. The sites work fine, it's the tutorials specifically, probably because of the embedded REPLs which have an iOS issue.

3. You claim that the Svelte code runs later than the server-generated HTML. This makes sense, since the DOM from Svelte components is built using Javascript. If you wanted to generate Svelte code on the server-side so that it renders at the same time, you would use { ssr: true } in your rollup config and generate code for both server and client side.

4. Not sure what the notion of lag is or where it comes from, Svelte outperforms everything else (when I last checked benchmarks), and is likely to, since it has the immediate advantage of not requiring a client-side runtime to download before it starts execution.
How is this not drowning in attention here?
love it! i spent YEARS playing and coding for MUDs and ran a few games as a solo admin/coder. imo it is so very satisfying to watch the global chat channels after a new feature/area/weapon/mob gets rolled out...and what the community thinks of it. i can recall more than one occasion where a well planned quest resulted in interesting dynamics after players started interacting with it. an example; one quest would add an "invisible" token object to a player's inventory. quest stages would check for and modify the state of the token when it was "present". in this particular MUD there was PK...and eventually someone decided to carry the corpse of someone on the quest into an area where you must have the token to enter...and they "walked" right in. none of us had thought of that potential "use-case"...and it exposed a really interesting game play mechanic that we never knew existed...the equivalent of cutting off the guards finger to pass biometric locks in a spy story...

...damn...its hard not to want to start another MUD...

EDIT: i know this post is NOT a MUD project...but the solo-MMO dev story just struck a nostalgia chord in me
Even the most expensive portable dry herb vaporizer on the market today has a terrible user experience compared to the cheapest cartridge pens.

The herb compartments are very small, which means that you have to refill them literally every couple hits, which also means that they're not very portable and that sharing is basically impossible

The heating elements have to be much larger, which means that they heat up slowly and the batteries have to be recharged every other use.

They start to taste bad quickly unless you disassemble and clean them every other use.

The devices themselves are wicked expensive (hundreds of dollars vs tens), and equivalent quantities of dry herb also costs more than liquid concentrates.

Compare that to a cartridge pen where:

The battery can last for months of regular use without needing to be recharged because the element is tiny and heats instantly.

The cartridges similarly last for months of regular use without needing to repack constantly.

As far as I know, they never need to be cleaned.

A decent pen body costs like $35 vs like $200 for a dry herb vape, and a $50 pre-filled concentrate cartridge can last literally months of regular use.
> So how much diesel do you have to store for doing that 10 years?

A lot, but probably less than you think. To provide one kilowatt of power continusly for 10 years you need about 23 million liters of diesel, which fits in a cube with 28 meter long walls.

A railway car of diesel can provide ~3W continously for 10 years. A tank the size of the Hindenburg could provide ~8kW for 10 years. The world's largest supertanker could carry enough diesel to provide ~22kW for 10 years.
I really admire the determination of the One Man. Scrolling to the oldest updates reveals that his has been a passion since at least 2010. What a mark of constitution and fortitude to keep this passion burning. It is remarkable what his 2010 self knew and what his 2019 has learned in those years. This is his opus. Keep up the good fight!
It really is a shame because ClojureScript is an absolute joy to work with. TypeScript and Javascript feel so incredibly tedious to write after using CLJS for a few months.

I would really love to move into PureScript as well, but I haven't quite wrapped my arms around Haskell as a whole, yet. So maybe I should tip my toes back into Elm for a bit.
What will we call the war between Corporate Lobbyist and Citizen Lobbyist?
Author here! Happy to answer questions, accept criticism, etc. :)
First, you are quoting something that I did not say. Second, I disagree that the items I listed are all a good experience using the mechanisms you highlighted and aren’t an important part of the driving experience; they are indeed “critical” (quoting your mis-quote) to the UX that leads to the choice of vehicle for myself and many others. It is disingenuous to reduce the argument down to basic controls required for vehicle movement and I think you know that.

The last thing I’ll say is this: I think it’s unfortunate that you are so invested in defending your position at all costs that you are unable to separate the argument from passive-aggressive personal attacks.

I'm all for that in the long run, but that's in the long run. Especially with Orion Drives they're too dangerous to fly themselves off the Earth but too heavy to launch on something else so they're entirely impractical right now. But it would be cool if we could be launching them from the Moon in the 2080s.
That's not what I saw. Instead I saw (and still see) people (in this very thread even) saying he "came out to defend the pedophiles". Media stories discussing his remarks about Minsky, with headlines vaguely connecting him to Epstein. The famous Selam G. hit piece mostly about (and misreading) his comments about Minksy. His past remarks and behavior are at most a footnote in these stories.

That said, I agree it's clear he made a lot of enemies with his past behavior and that certainly didn't help him at a time like this when he needs allies willing to stand against the mob and speak on his behalf.
You said "My personal view is that the 'what' in frontend development generally isn't super interesting and most web frontends are very similar." I think if you take a serious look at Svelte you will see that it is much simpler than the current popular web frameworks.
I don't really get the GraphQL part yet either. I really like the concept of static sites with instant client-side page transitions, but for the vast majority of those, it doesn't seem like putting all the data into a GraphQL database before inserting it into the templates solves a problem?

I've been using React Static [1] for that now, where you just load the data in memory. I'd expected to discover in the process why GraphQL is so useful, but I did not. This might just be my limited point of view.

I guess as soon as you're dealing with lots and lots of data it might be useful, but the projects for which that is the case and which want a mostly-static site seem like they're a very small niche.

Transactional is different. It only needs to have stable value in the short term. If Starbucks says 3 credits for a coffee and they have a liquid market for credits they will use it. Ingress/egress that sweeps into savings many will adopt. FB would be wise to take 10% of profits and sweep them into a credit dividend for users so even the poorest have liquidity in the market.
No, but the multiple peer reviewed studies do.

I would be interested to know what the impact on Secure Enclave will be from this exploit. From quick googling it sounds like bootrom isn’t involved in booting SEP. One large change from the exploit though is unlocking isn’t required to jailbreak.

Aside from that though - are there any extra abilities gained that weren’t already accessible as root (i.e. jailbreak) in iOS?
