GP is not talking about JS frameworks, though. They're talking about layout constraint systems (the argument goes that CSS is harder to reason about because "width" might not mean physical width, since it could affected by margin, etc). The counter-argument, of course, is that there are many more types of devices now (e.g. using "desktop" experiences in an ipad, multiple screen resolutions, etc just to give a few counter-arguments to the notion that desktop is "simple")

As for frameworks: the market has indeed spoken, but not in the way you think. Consumers of websites rarely pay for the majority of websites they use. Employers, however, pay developers and the buzzword-chasing in resume building/interviewing cycles is real.
It's one of those moments where I'm glad my kids are past the toddler stage. I'm in 'bad parent' mode right now and letting them have entirely too much screen time and too little direct supervision, but at 7 & 9 they can handle being mostly on their own all day as long as they have something to do. Biggest problem is that they'd not choose schoolwork on their own :)

This too shall pass, and they probably won't be too much worse for wear as a result. I tend to think primary school is 80% day care anyway :)

When lives are on the line software should be tested for reliability beyond 51 days.

Avionics software is written a world of verifiable requirements.

For how many days should the software be required to operate?

Is it acceptable to add that many [more] days to the software verification schedule in order to verifiably demonstrate that it works according to requirements?

Why is 51 days not long enough?

Yeah it's quite crazy, and worse for people whom are there on a visa as their visa depends on their employment.

And even worse again is that healthcare is tied up to your employer..
I used a french press for years but finally got fed up with the difficulty of cleaning it, primarily due to the rough edge of the screen/filter. I got a basic pour-over brewer a couple of years ago and while it is arguably more labor to work with (and I have to buy filters, I really should look for a long use filter, but then I would have to clean that) the simpler cleanup seems worth it.

I can't really claim to be able to taste a difference in the methods, variations in the coffee I choose, the cream, how much sugar I use, all seem to drown out any difference due to brewing method.

Post-Incident Review Issue 2: March 2020
Nationalize them then. Wipe out management and shareholders, and take control for the benefit of workers of the company and customers.
Trump's statements on the issue were completely out of all proportion to the current state of medical knowledge.

The UK government is led by a right wing populist by all accounts and this is what our daily breifing had to say on the matter "And in our determination to prevent as many patients as possible seeing their condition worsen we are conducting rapid clinical trials on those drugs, including anti-malarials, which may be able to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on those affected."

Contrast that with Trump's statements (by Twitter of course): "HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine. The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents)....."

If you can't see why there is a problem with the way Trump has spoken about these drugs then I'm afraid I've lost all hope.
shutting down the internet entirely would be an unmitigated disaster. the internet is my only source of information from the outside world, since I have no TV or radio in my apartment. since monday, it has been illegal for me to go outside unless it's a short walk for exercise or a trip to the grocery store. if I didn't have access to the internet, I would have no way of knowing this.

a slightly more reasonable alternative would be for the government to censor misinformation during the crisis. this raises the usual questions: what will be censored? at what level will it be decided? I certainly do not trust the trump administration to curate my news.
>Are you suggesting we can all have as many AKs as we want forever in exchange for the 2nd Amendment? Because unless you are, you're either ignorant of things you choose to comment on, stupid or trolling me.

>I'll take all three for 500, Alex.

Wow... you really get triggered if someone questions your cherished principles, don't you? I'm either ignorant, stupid or trolling? No, I'm just examining the assumptions behind your argument, something you seem either unwilling to do, or incapable of.

Your thesis is that it's impossible for the American people to resist a despotic government without guns, and that it would be impossible to procure those guns without a Second Amendment. Yet, you've given at least one (of many) examples of a regime which has successfully led an armed revolution (against the US, no less) without having a Second Amendment.

Now, the question of whether the Second Amendment is necessary to resist the American government has already been answered by you - it isn't, because it historically hasn't been. In fact, historically speaking, of all groups resistant to American tyranny the American people have proven the least effective of any.

There's also a false equivalence in assuming that all American gun owners are members of a militia in readiness for action against tyranny. Most American gun owners are collectors, hunters, or merely concerned with protecting their family against intruders. That every American gun owner would be ready, willing and able to rise up against their government is a fantasy. Half would side with the tyrants, depending on the nature of the tyranny. Many wouldn't fight, most would probably just try to defend their homes.

As for "suggesting we can all have as many AKs as we want forever in exchange for the 2nd Amendment?" that's absurd on its face given that we can't "all have as many AKs as we want forever" to begin with.

The more reasonable form of your question would be "are you suggesting that it is possible to own guns without the Second Amendment?" And given that gun ownership exists in other countries, and that a black market for guns also exists in countries where it doesn't, the answer to this question is also, obviously, yes.
How hard is this for them to fix?

I think you might be drawing a lot of your conclusions from premises that are untrue.

> If we don't agree that the infected are the primary victims, that might be our primary disagreement, and there isn't much left to say.

Most people who cannot pay their health insurance today are not people who are infected. We have 40 times as many people unemployed as we do infected.

> The economic toll is also important, but people are dying by the thousands.

Health insurance or healthcare bills aren't a factor in the death rates of this virus. People won't even be receiving those bills until the virus has either run its course or have killed the patient.

Those who need inpatient care cannot be turned away by law, regardless of insurance status.

Those who do not need inpatient care are being told to go home, regardless of insurance status.

> We do have the resources to test everyone.

This is factually false, and has been repeatedly confirmed by health officials and test manufacturers.

> Banning most tests is a regulatory decision.

.. and it's a decision which the regulators have already undone.

> If people have to pay thousands out of pocket to be tested, that won't happen.

This is not an issue any longer. The test has been determined by HHS to be an essential health benefit which must be covered under ACA compliant public and private insurance plans. State, local, and federal testing facilities are offering the test for free on a widespread basis to those without insurance as well.

I started the "hating" when pc promised everything would work on every computer. this just seemed impossible bordering idiotic. before this every screen had the same resolution. UI was horrifically easy! The c64 had characters in the font set that allowed drawing boxes. You can imagine but it was 10 times easier.

The problem with many layers of abstraction is that it borders the imposible if the layer abstacted to poorly suports something.

BGP not having security has caused many problems.
This wasn't noticed for a few years after Win95 was released.

The joke was that nobody had ever had a Win95 system stay up for 49 days. Mwah-hah-hah.
I highly doubt, if they even had a dedicated "security team" at the time the platform was architected as such, that they would have told the rest of the company they "had best-of-breed security". They would have understood their shortcomings and communicated them up the chain of command. And firing them and hiring an outside team of "security experts" to re-architect their system wholesale would be a patently absurd course of action.

The form of responsibility taking you're demanding is actually just business as usual, reactionary scapegoating.
> Having to restart is a symptom of reckless disregard for safety IMO

No it's a symptom of having bugs in your code.

And they can be there for a host of reasons ranging from "this is a once off accident" to "systematic failure in the software engineering process".
> That doesn't really solve any serious problems

Yes it does. It meant that less-experienced developers could make nice programs that near-zero-experience users could immediately take advantage of, with the same look and feel as every other program they already used.

It went far past "simple toy apps"; maybe not suitable for making a distributed network app, but for making something useful for an accountant or an administrative professional, it was perfect.

> I'm sure the pace of change to outsiders can make it seem like a long series of failures and flailing about, but to those who have been following it there has been a relatively consistent evolution of ideas.

I've been following this since the 90s and it went from "a nice way to publish documents to everyone" to "a bastard environment with a shitty language that is inconsistently implemented" to "overburdened with frameworks to paper over the fact that this system was never designed for this at all".

Great, 20 years later we have some huge massive framework that takes ages to learn even for someone who used to know JS competently, just to draw some basic widgets and data tables that we used to be able to drag-and-drop into place in the 90s.

> What I disagree with is that it's getting harder or messier or worse to build frontends.

Maybe it's slowly improving in the browser now, but until we have things on the level of Flash as far as interactive design for non-developers goes, it's still massive steps backwards for no real gain besides the self-gratification of JS devs.
A Memorial Out of Time
> very often the engineer doesn't know the manager well enough to know how they would react to a statement like, "I feel belittled by the fact that you constantly ignore my feedback and impose unreasonable deadlines because a salesperson put you on the spot in front of the VP."

There's one quick way to find out how they'd react! Seriously though, I generally find myself respected in the organisations that I work in, and I think it's at least partly because I'm willing to be forthright in calling people out and telling them what I think, regardless of their position. Of course, some may take it badly, but that's not the kind of organisation I want to work in (and in my experience, most people react well to honesty).
It's not really about entitlement. He's the one benefiting from people consuming his content, why not make it more accessible? All at the cost of some CSS rules.
Why Time Has Slowed
I really like the idea proposed here of <Spacer /> components. I always thought it was weird to assign a margin to elements of a list to achieve spacing. To maintain proper spacing it's often best to either make the top and bottom margins of each element equal, or remove the top/bottom margin from the first/last element. Both techniques come with complications.

Abstracting that out makes it easier to achieve a commonly used layout. Not quite sure the best way to implement this, but I'll definitely be giving the idea a shot.

I’d be more alarmed about the fact that FAA had to issue a directive to deal with this situation. Either Boeing did not include the reboot in operation or maintenance procedures, or operators did not follow those procedures.

The requirement of a reboot on its own, though, would not strike me as a blatant disregard for safety, as long as the period between reboots is long enough to exceed the maximum possible length of flight (taking any emergencies into account) with leeway to spare.

Any idea why the stock market is still holding up? Whether or not you think the virus will be resolved quickly, the economy has now taken a serious hit. Is the feeling that the government stimulus actions will be enough to completely erase the Covid damage? Will they resolve the shaky fundamentals and sky-high valuations we saw heading into this mess? Perhaps I'm a simpleton for expecting rational markets, but it seems like equities should be falling further.
Could you not use a telephone intent, where the meeting ID is the suffix to the dial in number with commas for any necessary pauses? Skype for business meeting invites have this. Zoom might then support inviting mobile phone conference participants using SMS, containing the link (think weak 2FA).

It's an incredibly simple thing to screw up. I wonder where else they use low entropy random strings. I wonder if their password reset functionality can be brute forced too. Another problem is where they put rate limiting as it seems probable based on this article there are holes.
Taking a plane from design to commercial delivery takes years. I'm sure they can spare 2-3 months to do some long running tests. Especially if those can run in parallel with other fit-and-finish work unrelated to software.
TikTok doesn't try to stalk me across the entire internet; if I'm concerned about its origin I can choose not to use it.

Tax free health insurance is tied up with employer, not healthcare (or health insurance). Anyone can purchase health insurance at healthcare.gov. Recently, the ability to purchase health insurance with pre-tax money has been expanded to self employed, but people who work for an employer that does not offer health insurance are still discriminated against.
I'd offer a different take.

Users want to run your software on their system. You don't want to write software for their system, you want to write it for all systems. The output impedance of the developer and input impedance of the users is a function of how easy it is to write the app for all users and use it by any individual user. Optimal power delivery is achieved when I/O impedances are matches low. Efficiency is achieved at lower impedances.

JS/HTML/CSS is currently the optimal solution in that context.

UI isn't dead, it's more alive than ever. But since what works is what can get my product to the most people the fastest is on a web stack, that's the thing that's going to be used. And since the web stack is high impedance to begin with, anything I can do to lower that in terms of framework is going to be in demand, hence all the diversity we see.

Honestly, the most important metric is deaths, and from what I can see, the SF Bay Area has done relatively well in that metric. No overcrowded hospitals, for example.
Handling a problem dispassionately requires resolving the meta-problem of emotional response around the problem in the first place, especially if it's part of what made the problem happen. EG. A co worker's parent has been hospitalized from covid19 and therefore their emotions are preventing them from matching previous velocity in the previous sprint, which puts heat on the project manager. This is a conflict that requires and understanding and consideration of feelings to resolve.

In my experience feelings-type problems are significantly more numerous than technical problems to resolve dispassionately.
Hmmm. Perhaps not the _world_, but if you can’t make a cup that is in at least your personal top 10, you need adjust process and/or ingredients.

No, this is why GCP is fairly crap when comparing to AWS. Google doesn't actually use GCP for building anything so they have less incentive to actually make it better, that or it means they don't understand the issues with it.

At least with AWS you know that Amazon dog-foods the hell out of it and have a major incentive to improve it.

You know, it's probably not that a large problem because those are very few people, but this one is completely insane.

On the flip side, European countries had high unemployment even before the Coronavirus recession because employers were reluctant to take on new employees knowing that it's much more difficult to get rid of bad ones there than here.

We are on to something, You think all people have essentially the same fundamental capacity to reason? And all that differs from person to person is information, experience and knowledge?

Wrong, _you_ think it's a good source of information. I don't.

Anyway we probably are essentially talking one and the same thing.
In Bosnia&Herzegovina, 200 previously reported COVID-19 cases were yesterday noted as false positives due to no certified labs in the region that reported the cases. The logic for reporting false positives is that a COVID-19 epidemic qualifies B&H for emergency IMF funds, which the local politicians are already smacking their lips for.

I have yet to hear any global news outlets discuss the matter of false positives, let alone launch the investigation into how the numbers are tallied. All it matters is that the numbers go up, no matter how. It's tragic how low the media has sunk.

> How can the US have that little protection of their workers..?

I'd be interested in an analysis of Layoffs vs. Furloughs.

Layoffs being permanent job losses.

Furloughs expecting to go back to work when the social restrictions are lifted.
