If you happen to end up in those environments again, I would appreciate it if you take a look at my prototype web-based message board.

It's designed for compatibility, and I've tested a lot of Netscapes and IE4, but nothing on Win311 yet.

If you want to leave a comment, you can do so right on the message board. It should work, more likely with JS off.
Someone from Microsoft, I know you are reading this, please explain to us how this makes it all the way to launch like this.
You don’t need your Raspberry PI to run your bank app, handle your payments or your bus-tickets. I’m not sure how I’d even purchase a non digital ticket for quite a few things in Denmark.

Don’t get me wrong, I really hope something like PinePhone sees enough adoption to get the apps I need a smartphone to run so I can break away from the two monopolies. I just don’t believe it will happen when Microsoft couldn’t do it.

Borland's compilers had the best documentation. They included a much of the MSDN API reference in their built-in help files.
I've been taking job applications from other frontend developers in the Silicon Valley fortune 500 area of work. Most resumes that get past the initial recruiter interview and make it to a tech review and claim expert knowledge of CSS...

They don't. They don't know shit. They can often not answer basic flexbox questions. Not to mention CSS grid questions.

And if you start questioning them about CSS animation performance (paint, composite, layout) they rarely–if ever–even get your point.

Most applicants we get don't even understand basic HTML semantics. I mean, shit, I've seen applicants submit their application projects with EVERYTHING being a div-element. Including links and buttons, which would have onClick events...

The technical aspect of frontend development allows backend developers to bleed into the frontend. "Oh, look, typescript! Finally JS looks like Java! Which means that silly HTML and CSS is going to be easy!"

Buzz off back to the backend, you strong-typed clown who doesn't understand what UX and a11y mean.

I could go on and on about the horror that is typescript. But that's for another day. I know most people love it. I fucking hate it. I'm using it, because I have to, but I never needed it. It literally offers me nothing of value.

But on topic: CSS experts? They are rare. Maybe 1 in ever 30 applicants can actually claim that level of knowledge.

I thought the entire point of react was that it _doesn’t_ rewrite the entire page (DOM diffing)?
The productivity boosters for me since 1983 aren't so much speed, it's:

1. A large hires screen so I can see lots of context

2. Lots of disk space

3. Online documentation available

4. Protected mode operating system

5. Github

6. Collaboration with people all over the world

The productivity destroyers:

1. social media

In the US, the EFF has been a long-time champion of freedom in the digital age. They're probably the most Snowden-esque nonprofit you can donate to, as they provide pro bono legal help in the defense of freedom in the digital realm (https://www.eff.org/pages/legal-assistance).

There's also the Wikimedia Foundation which has of course been responsible for the distribution of a lot of free information around the world.
I genuinely can't tell if this comment is sarcasm or not.

I have given away a couple of Klein bottles to collaborators I have really enjoyed working with, as a token of appreciation. He sends emails that show him packaging, and a bunch of eccentric paperwork accompanies the bottle, which are a delight. Visiting him at his lab is on my todo list (his website mentions "You're welcome to stop by for coffee & chat - please call ahead if you plan to visit."), I don't stay very far from his place! Maybe I will get a copy of his book signed too.
I don’t understand why you are being downvoted. Flip the switch and the BASIC prompt was essentially instantaneous.

Dems have shot themselves in the foot with this one. This whole process lacks credibility and voters will punish them as they did in the UK. Politicians need to start being in touch with what voters want.

Right now a lot of time is being wasted on nonsense whereas it could have been used for more productive endeavors. What a charade. What a sham.
It takes 1 afternoon to learn React and it never requires you to open the doc again.

Comparing slavery to any critique of immigration (often about illegal immigration!, not any immigration) is surely a stretch. I am sure there is some non-zero number of individuals who think about some races like slaves still, but it is nowhere near the public mainstream.

Not quite the same topic, but I remember someone measuring keyboard to screen input latency, and that has also increased over the years.
That's not a terribly unreasonable claim for a consultant on a particular job. The issue is you can't usually fill your schedule with such jobs.
... in C mode, which is basically C89 (+ whatever is needed for recent C++ versions). Compiling C code in C++ mode is a common way of working around this. But MSVC is not a C compiler, it's a C++ compiler, so their unwillingness to invest in C is probably understandable.
There are a lot of people who never use a mouse while browsing the web! That's possible with browser extensions like Vimium, which show you a keyboard shortcut on every link when you press a key. "Two or more keystrokes" is a lot faster than using the mouse with that scheme.
Better title "Judge rules Snowden signed contract to give all book proceeds to US government".

USG is not appropriating his proceeds just because he is accused of a crime, they have been given it by a judge because Snowden signed a contract to that effect. If he had signed a contract to give book proceeds to Elon Musk or Katy Perry then presumably the judge would have upheld that too.
I do recall being a luddite in upgrading from Office 2003 to 2010 (rip, '07 on Vista) and rued the day that it became permanent. It did get better though.
Also: https://octoverse.github.com/
The ruling names his publishers as "parties necessary to accord relief, but [the US Gov] has not asserted independent claims against them". So if I'm parsing that right (IANAL), the publishers are required to remit Snowden's share to the government, but the ruling doesn't appear to require the publishers themselves to forfeit their own revenues/profits.

Angular ng-is ng-very ng-opinionated and requires a ton of boilerplate knowledge. It requires typescript knowledge, and I've noticed that (finally!) a lot of developers are realising that typescript actually doesn't make life easier at all.

React, on the other hand, is a very intuitive library instead of an all-encompassing framework. You can easily setup a React application in a few seconds and get started, adding whatever you want as you go.

The JSX syntax is infinitely more intuitive compared to the Angular way of doing things. Which also gets me to the point of Angular having a specific way of doing things, "the Angular way".

With React there's less thinking required to get things done. The learning curve is steep (as in: you pick up the knowledge quicker) because the amount of information to take in is relatively low.

Angular takes months to master. It's very opinionated. And it requires typescript.

I for one hate typescript with the passion of a thousand suns. I know it very well because I have to if I want to keep my job, but it's so freaking unnecessary...
It surprises me too personally - the testing experience is worlds better, better built in modules than what you get in the React ecosystem (especially routing, http request layer, forms, testing, etc.), and opinionation that helps improve the overall experience of working with it. I miss my time with Angular sometimes - my only gripes is TypeScript being limiting with regard to function composition, and creating a component in Angular requires quite a bit of boilerplate compared to React.

To some degree, I feel there are a varying set of reasons why people have settled on React - some were never fans of AngularJS/Angular and some disliked how Google handled the migration story from AngularJS to Angular are probably the strongest reasons. TypeScript also not being terribly FP friendly is also a huge negative to some, whereas React enables more functional patterns overall. Some also dislike separate HTML templates vs. HTML in JS templating, some prefer to cobble together a bunch of small modules together, even if the modules are weaker on average.

Ultimately, I think Google fell short on DX with the change over to Angular 2+ and the damage has lived on since, which is a shame because as a framework it was built really solid.

The Branagh version of Wallander killed me with this. They somehow reduced it to a BBC cop show that just happened to have a bit of swedish set decoration. Conversely the american version of Low Winter Sun was at least an actual adaptation.

Perhaps the most prominent feminist in Germany (Alice Schwarzer) is vehemently against it, although not for the stated reasons of the gp.
The description of "Expert" in the survey probably caused this.

"Expert: Being able to style an entire front-end from scratch following a consistent methodology"

Meanwhile, "Advanced: Mastering animations, interactions, transitions, etc."

I can certainly "style an entire front-end from scratch" without "mastering animations".

The authors admit there is no causal relationship established between pollutants and depression. It's pure correlation. I don't understand how nebulous studies like this even get published. Still very convenient that we have yet another reason to abandon fossil fuels. Almost starting to feel like a trendy scapegoat and honestly an irrelevant comment given the total uncertainty behind the relationship.

But the Guardian made clear it's bias when it advertised for funding with a giant banner claiming "Trump must be impeached.". This isn't objective, fact based journalism, it's propagandist advocacy journalism.
I crawled certain websites to build large datasets.

What's new in Bootstrap 5 and when Bootstrap 5 release date?
Yeah me too. Also at amazon. And yet amazon is obscenely successful, as are other big tech companies which take similar strategies. It seems that matching expertise to projects is so fucking hard that just giving up at the start and accepting it’s impossible is the optimal strategy.

Honestly I don’t know. I agree it’s weird. But these companies keep succeeding doing it this way, so I’m not sure what to make of it.
So, given that the site guidelines ask us to make substantive comments, can you go into detail as to why you think that this is a good thing?

I think that it's pretty shady to profit off of 'confidential information' rather than disallowing the dissemination of it. Personally, I smell a vendetta against the individual rather than an action meant to discourage the spread of confidential data.

Even without an opinion of Snowden himself, that kind of tactic from a government against an individual seems pretty ruinous and petty; like red-scare blacklisting kind of petty.
When evaluating an RPC mechanism I'm mostly interested in performance benchmarks between existing protocols and discussion of schema migration/mutation than architecture (if I'm using your software as a dependency, don't tell me how it works, show me the API and benchmarks!).

There appears to be a benchmark table in docs/performance.md but I hope some native speaker can translate for the English speaking folks among us.

As long as I can run Firefox on it, and it got a micro-SIM, I'm good. There's a web alternative for most apps I use, where besides that I just need a tiny computer in my pocket with constant connection to the internet (hence, micro-SIM).

The reason Backpage got shut down is because the owners pissed off Cindy and John McCain with negative reporting in the Phoenix New Times and large donations against them. Everything else is just excuses.
Thanks for the reply!

After playing more, and switching from a trial-and-error/backtrack approach to a more deliberate style where I try to mentally prove each extension of a line, I feel less of a need for the start-line-anywhere thing. So, it's your call on whether that's worthwhile.

It would be nice to have undo/redo--I've made a couple mistakes, and in those cases I'd like to step back and check my work move by move. That might spoil the clean design a bit though!

The tap-to-skip is a good trick, thanks--no need to make other changes there.

It's known that Netherlands only host companies that are in the interest of the environment. One example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Dutch_Shell.

It's super easy to say "look I'm not to blame" when most of what you're doing is not at home.

Except for the intensive agriculture, most of the Dutch activity is in the 3rd sector, services. And in those services you have banks, oil companies, lobbying… (and also tax evaded ones, but that's another topic) that can be considered as the most impacting companies, even CO² wise, in the world.

So please, counting on the fact that Dutchies are not a lot of people and are putting solar panel on their roof is really missing 95% of the topic.

It is a very sad democracy when you confuse legitimacy and legality. Slavery, apartheid, death camps were legal.

Let me sing you the song of my people. Once upon a time, a french government surrendered to the German invader and changed form to stop being a republic. A colonel (de Gaulle) decided to stop obeying their orders, claiming he was a servant of the French republic, and claiming it was now alive in a government in exile in London and never surrendered.

The legal mainland non-republican government declared him a traitor and his supporters terrorists. They were serious about that and killed many of them.

At the end of the war, de Gaulle won and declared the mainland government "nul et non avenu" (void and never happened) which cancelled all the legal acts it took. People who during all that time followed the rule of the law were considered traitors to the nation, especially if they (as the law mandated it) denounced Jews or people helping them to German authorities.

This is what we are taught in history class: following the law is not enough. You also have to think further than that. In some cases, the right thing to do is illegal.

I'm glad that I don't have to work with the stuff after reading up on emergency medical procedures. I once found a very long list of what to do by an expert MD and it's really not pretty.

I'm not an expert in either chemistry or medicine but what I gathered was:

The medical team needs to try and offset what the fluor is doing to the balance of ions in your body, to keep your cells alive. HF will diffuse within pretty much all of your tissues (including diffusing into bone like it was a sponge iirc) and a medical team will check your blood ion levels every five minutes or so while sticking you with CaCl (iirc) injections along the path the HF may diffuse through your body (if you're lucky enough to have hit an extremety like a hand). While the HF is diffusing, you will not feel anything. They cannot just pump you full of the proper ions to counteract the effects of the fluor and maybe bind it because that would kill you as well, they have to hit the right elevated concentration locally to offset what the fluor is doing.

Edit: I've read up on it again and some of the things I wrote aren't right and I misremembered, like HF exposure being painless. At first it may be so but once the calcium levels drop, exposure is connected to extreme, "deep" pain. Treatment guides stress to not admister aneasthetics because the pain is the best indicator for successful treatment.
Also, Calcium Gluconate is recommended, not Calcium Chloride.

Well the reasoning was pointing towards high chance of placebo though. He said there was lots of grime and also something he could measure was different, which means psychologically a lot greater chance and effect for placebo.

I've been programming since 1983. The internet opened up publishing to the masses, which means that non-professional people could also publish, resulting in much more documentation than ever before.

But now the amateur documentation writers are competing with the professional ones; the quality of the professional documentation is still as high as ever, but it can be drowned out by the amateur quality documentation.

All in all, finding the information you need is MUCH quicker via a search engine, but the signal-to-noise ratio is lower.
Same with Delphi. We did decades of applications going from Turbo Pascal in the 80s to Delphi in the 90s and 00s and 10s without hardly any changes (this was possible because I wrote a tooling to convert the DOS Pascal graphics code to Delphi Windows automatically so we ran 1 version of code that compiled on both) right up until the company was sold a couple of years ago.

I will never be interested in any projects whose primary language is Chinese, or any languages other than English.

I wouldn't care if the project is targeted to China. But it is donated to The Linux Foundation. The Linux Foundation should have not accepted such projects at the beginning.

I'm Korean and there is nothing to do with China itself. But the more we accept projects like this, the more they like to write in their language. What's worst is that their Github issue page will be full of Chinese that other people will not understand. I don't want to see the programming culture get fragmented just because of the language.
