>if you're a hobby developer, reinventing the wheel (of UI design) is fun and just costs your time;

If you're an inexperienced manager, buying off-the-shelf products for everything outside of your core business might sound appealing.

However, buying a product like this will not make all your design problems magically go away. You have to evaluate the costs of using it over time vs the cost of maintaining your own styles over time.

Using UI libraries is not free. You have to learn how to use them properly. That's an additional cost you pay every time you onboard someone who will deal with your frontend. You have to deal with library updates. You have to solve edge cases they don't cover in a way that doesn't devalue the library.

Some of the worst UI issues I ever faced in legacy software came from commercial 3d party components.

The article uses the fact that people thought Gandalf was an elf to justify the idea that elves can heave beards, which implies that the author thinks that they were correct in their belief.
I haven’t really thought this through, but at the OS level we used to have the concept of reentrancy, which separated code from variables for multi-tasking. I haven’t seen this exact concept in a programming language level, although I don’t know every language, and it may exist by another name. I didn’t really think about this until now, but I naturally write reentrantly, separating the hash tables and globals For cross thread data, and writing everything else functionally, and/or using the thread system to manage all other mutables as locals (like the transient construct, I guess).

"'Neutron' Jack Welch, who led GE's rapid expansion, dies at 84" (Reuters)

...Welch - known as “Neutron Jack” for cutting thousands of jobs - bought and sold scores of businesses, expanding the industrial giant into financial services and consulting. Under him, GE’s market value grew from $12 billion to $410 billion, making Welch one of the most iconic chief executives of his era.

But his push to build out the GE Capital financing business nearly proved the undoing of the entire enterprise during the global financial crisis more than a decade ago, and GE now trades at a fraction of its peak value....

Indeed, if you think that 10% of your employees must be fired every year then, to me, it is a sign that something is horribly wrong and you should really focus on that, not to mention the horrible effect this practice has on company culture and atmosphere.
its an analogy, im not bringing up copyright law as something that impacts the situation, its an illustration of a similar concept.

Some countries treat photography as copyright as the priority, others let privacy law take precedent.
The article has a good summary of his legacy and his gracefulness:

Under Mr. Welch, GE became known for consistent profit performance and a surging stock price. Much of those gains came from GE Capital, the finance arm that ballooned under Mr. Welch and would almost destroy the company during the 2008 financial crisis.

GE’s profit has plunged in recent years, dragged down by hidden costs in the company’s Capital unit and losses in the core Power business. The troubles have prompted the company to break itself apart, overhaul its leadership and slash its once-generous dividend. GE’s share price tumbled roughly 75% in 2017 and 2018, erasing $200 billion of wealth for millions of investors.

In his later years, Mr. Welch witnessed the GE he built get dismantled. The decline of the company pained him, according to friends, and he sometimes said he gave himself an A for his execution of its operations, and an F for his choice of successor.

But back to the discussion about the WHO, their bland attitude is greatly to blame for the inaction of the CDC, and the rest of the world.

As a case study, for some days half of all confirmed cases outside of China were in the Diamond Princess, and the proportion held until very recently with 1000+ cases worldwide (sans China). Why? Sampling bias. Even arguing that a cruise is more virus-friendly cannot possibly account for a single ship holding half of the world's cases. And then came about Iran and Italy, with no clear path of spread. It's hurtfully evident that there are so many more cases and there's a huge visibility issue, and the WHO delaying measures aggravates the matter dramatically.
Don’t hospitals have the power to quarantine patients as well? So you go to hospital to get checked, one potentially end up being quarantined, depending on their assessment.
This is why separating return values from error codes is important.

For example, in Rust, you’d never get into this situation, because a decent fork ffi function would immediately convert -1 into a Result carrying an error, and properly check errno. Java and C++ would throw an exception, etc.

Thus preventing all sorts of bad behavior up the stack.

I don't think it's 100% ego.

A website IMO is more than just UI elements placed in a particular place. It's you or your company's identity. In a way, maybe it's related to clothing. Your site portrays your personality, or at least what you want others to think about you or your company.

Following the clothes analogy, there is room for best practices and standard things to take place while having many different unique styles. For example, you're probably not going to walk around wearing a desk that has cut outs for your limbs and is suspended by ropes. No, we have best practices like shirts, pants, shoes and other things. But when you combine those things with varying materials and colors you end up with a completely different look while adhering to standards.

Maybe you could say a unique identity is a byproduct of ego and maybe it is but that's how people are. Otherwise we would all be wearing the same global uniform and eating the same food every day.

Long story short, there's plenty of room to stick with UI best practices while having a unique look, but you need to find tools that support customizing that look or find a designer who knows how to do it.

Yeah, it's confusing.

I think this is how it works: The melanin is not transparent, so it stops the light from penetrating beyond the very surface, and so a smaller volume of skin cells get access to sunlight.

To go a little deeper: Sunlight does two major things in our skin. It creates vitamin D, and destroys folate. Both are essential, so the various skin colors we have reflect the balance evolution has struck in various environments.

I love to see some progress in this space! I was curious about using e.g. Raspberry Pis or old Android devices as replacements for the now defunct Google Chromecast Audio, that is a set of linked devices connected to speakers throughout the house and all streaming from a single source that I can control from my phone or PC.

Doing this seemed to be unreasonably difficult. The closest thing to a solution I identified was using Mopidy along with Icecast, where Mopidy is the control plane and Icecast is the audio sink, and all client devices simply permanently connected to the shoutcast stream.

This "worked" but it is very frustrating for a simple use case. Mopidy used to be a MPD server implementation, but it has deprecated that in favor of its own API, and the client options were very limited. And nevermind video, this was just audio...

Anyway, I feel like NymphCast is a very welcome development, and I really hope that Maya will continue to work on it.
How do you think this compares to the present default, "whatever DNS my ISP chose for me"?
It is definitely true that many product owners and designers are very sure (or, at least, say they are very sure) that having the color, shape/form(!) & behavior(!?) of the form elements in their applications be on-brand is super important.
I’m in a similar boat. Parsec seems to be the right solution:

https://blog.parsecgaming.com/a-seamless-cloud-gaming-experi...

You run a windows vm with a beefy gpu in the cloud, so anything that can run in windows is supported.

I’m definitely rooting for them. I don’t want to introduce a middleman that decides what games can and cannot be distributed.

Also, if parsec or paperspace or microsoft or steam go sideways, it’s easy enough for the industry to bypass them. That won’t be the case if one or two cloud vendors have monopolies over gaming hardware.

But self driving cars are WAY harder than drone delivery. You have whole human elements to them.

Positive RT-PCR Test Results in Patients Recovered from Covid-19
I'd like to point out a few things.

1. Tailwind UI is built on top of Tailwind CSS, Tailwind CSS is not closed source. Tailwind UI does ship with a plugin to Tailwind CSS that adds a bit of extra customizations on top, but not much, and even still that is open source.

B. Tailwind UI is a collection of components built on top of Tailwind CSS, the beauty of Tailwind CSS is that it's easily customizable, sure you can copy and paste these components into your app, but they are sooo easily customized that you just change `bg-blue-700` with whatever color you want your app to be and boom, it's different. Without the headaches of most other UI frameworks like Bootstrap.

III: I maintain Awesome Tailwind CSS project (https://git.io/awesome-tailwindcss) and we have a section for sites & apps built in Tailwind. I review all sites to make sure they are indeed built in Tailwind, and honestly, I have to view source and read CSS class names to make sure they are Tailwind because it's not easy to tell from the look of the site.
Honestly using this on a phone is not very far from the android ui.
It's also less vulnerable to global trade conflicts. A royalty-free license means that you don't have to depend on a company like ARM for your CPU design.

For example, if you're a Chinese manufacturer who relies on STM32 chips with their ARM Cortex-M cores and you're worried about the winds of global trade, what do you do?

It looks like you make a new line of RISC-V chips with the same memory and peripheral layout. Problem solved:

And as a consequence, civilians who live in heavily-sanctioned places like Iran can also learn about modern embedded computing more easily on a budget. The economic incentives to produce actual hardware brings the ISA out of FPGA-land, which can improve equality of access and opportunity around the world.

It might also help that the ISA is designed in a modular way so that it can be suitable for everything from small microcontrollers to large-scale application processors.

Given that every single comment I've seen so far is a joke or a negative, it's worth offering a more respectful perspective of his accomplishments and story from Wikipedia [1]:

Jack Welch was the child of a railroad conductor, born and raised outside Boston. He worked as a golf caddie, newspaper delivery boy, shoe salesman, and drill press operator, throughout middle school and high school.

Welch joined GE in 1960 as a junior engineer after his PhD in Chemical Engineering. He was frustrated with the bureaucracy, and planned on leaving, but decided to stay after an executive insisted he'd work on creating a small-company atmosphere.

In 1981 at the age of 45, he became the youngest-ever chairman & CEO of General Electric. He dismantled many layers of management, finally fulfilling his wish that nearly led to him leaving GE to begin with.

In his 20 years as CEO, he grew the company from $12 billion to $410 billion in market cap. Fortune magazine named him "Manager of the Century."

He fiercely believed in free markets. Even despite the comments in this thread on his anti-Climate Change perspective, he believed that "every business must embrace green products and green ways of doing business", as that's what the people, and thus the markets, wanted.

Another interesting note: "Regarding shareholder value, Welch said in a Financial Times interview on the global financial crisis of 2008–2009, "On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world. Shareholder value is a result, not a strategy...your main constituencies are your employees, your customers and your products".

FFS, just use custom attributes. Your attribute becomes the namespace. Its content determines styles. I figured this out 4-5 years ago and never looked back. It's amazing that we have thousands of designers making their libraries and writing their blog posts, yet this obvious solution to a universally occurring problem isn't something even considered by the general web design community.

Facebook has my phone number.

I have never given facebook my phone number.

The only reason I know that they have my phone number, is because a couple of years back they decided that getting me to enable two-factor auth would be much easier if they prefilled the phone number field with my phone number

They probably got this phone number from the address books of any friend of mine with an android phone (as Android required accepting all permission request to use an app, until a couple of years ago),

When I go download my data from Facebook, the data doesn't show that they have a phone number linked to my account

Nope. Dark skin is an adaptation to exposure to lots of UV rays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanin#Evolutionary_origins

But what I read in the UK was that looking increasingly like 'about 50%' would be infected, 'but only 30%' of those would actually need medical attention. Something similar came from the US with '40-70%' instead of 'about 50'.

But yes, a large part of the concern, particularly for government bodies coming out with these figures is preparedness; so they probably are erring on the side of 'more resources needed' in these estimates. But why not? Better over-prepared than under, not that that's looking likely.
