If you use it as just a CSS include then I agree with you in a sense.

But typically or rather optimally you use it with Sass/SCSS and override Bootstraps variables so Bootstrap generates its classes based on your input.

Related:

One of the goals of Bootstrap 5 is for example a stronger shift towards utility (atomic) classes. In 4 you can already generate their utility classes based on your variable declarations. In 5 this will get more powerful and the API becomes cleaner.

Another goal is to improve documentation for users who integrate with Bootstrap SCSS this way.
If they can charge anything, aren't they leaving money on the table-- why only 30%? To be clear, I would personally disagree with an increase, but I ask in the context of running a maximally profitable business.
You can install APKs on Android. The Play store isn't necessary. On iOS, however, you have no option but to use Apple's AppStore.
Sure, but federal law does prevent you from repeatedly placing that request into my mailbox. I don't even need a sign for that.

Making an http request does not fit cleanly as an analogue to yelling from the street, nor does it fit as an analogue to throwing a written request on a brick through a window. It is something different that must be understood on its own terms.
I completely agree. Every passing day I become more convinced that a statically typed language without sum types or more broadly ADTs is fundamentally incomplete.

The good news is that many languages seem to be cozying up to them, and both the JVM (through Kotlin, Scala, et all) and .net (through F# or C# w/ language-ext) support them.

Even better news is that the C# team has stated that they want to implement Sum Types and ADTs into the language, and are actively looking into it.
Thank you for sharing, that was fantastic.
Does that mean the other language's standard library is better? That it has better third party libraries?
This may be true for some forms of procrastination, but there's one kind in particular that has a much cleaner and more precise story behind it. Your intuitive task planning system will simply refuse to go down paths that it knows has a reward-to-effort ratio incompatible with long-term flourishing. Instead, it will prune that task planning process in favor of either something known to be of higher value, or some strategy that it believes will help find high-value tasks. Modelling procrastination this way explains several phenomena:

1. The "honeymoon period" of organizational methods. This is simply the period of time where your intuitive task-planning system hasn't figured out that your new organizational method is generating insufficiently rewarding plans. Once you learn that it has you tilting at windmills, the honeymoon "ends" as the system itself gets pruned for something easier or novel enough that it might be more effective.

2. The unreasonable effectiveness of breaking things down into simple steps. Every piece of uncertainty and risk that your plan has to overcome adds to the amount of expected reward necessary to successfully motivate the effort. Listing out simple, well-understood steps significantly reduces the sense of venturing into the unknown, and the lower perceived risk directly affects your short-term willingness to engage in the process.

3. The loop people often get stuck in of closing a social media feed (eg, reddit), only to re-open it 30 seconds later. When you don't have a good short-term plan, finding something interesting is the "default". Competition between social media sites has generated several highly popular super-stimuli for this niche.
I've seen this comparison a lot and on some level I agree with the idea, but I don't think the comparison is actually that applicable.

This big difference is that this isn't just "the bridge fell over". In the case of a cyber attack, it's more like "a terrorist detonated a bomb on the bridge and blew it up". And in such a case, I think it would be a pretty big stretch to blame the engineer who designed the bridge.
This is often claimed, but not something that holds up to scrutiny. Women's representation in technology peaked in the US during the 1980s. Are we really going to argue that gender stereotypes are stronger in 2020 than 30-40 years ago? Similarly, countries with low gender equality actually have higher rates of women in STEM as compared to more egalitarian countries [1].

I don't disagree that some my find stereotypes alienating. But you're making a very big leap to claim that it's a "driving factor" as far as gender representation in STEM.

Good luck proving antitrust with such a small marketshare.

You also fail to share that iOS developers are paid much much more when compared to android and they only have to target fewer devices and versions which makes developing much much easier than the fragmented cluster in android.
I was with you until

> Everyone in the US was raised in an environment that inculcated certain racial ideas, subconsciously or not

I’ve always noticed the opposite. Americans are a lot more forgiving of race than any other country. Even places like Sweden has serious problems with racism whereas US has lead so many positive changes and civil wars about racism.

Growing up in US white suburbs, we were taught by parents to be cognizant of racism and even small things like “African Americans, not black people”. Always had many immigrants and people of color in school. Race is at the center of America as it is the biggest melting pot of cultures in the world for over 2 centuries.
I haven't read Zerohedge since 2011/2012, but at the same time this is kind of worrisome. I really don't like the idea of a corporation deciding that news is "bad", and therefore should be punished.

Assuming the lady wasn't wearing a uniform or name badge, and you didn't witness her interacting with the other staff and giving them instructions, you had no reason to think she was the boss of the shop. Would you have acted any differently if she was a man?

It's great that in your mind you also realized you had an implicit bias ("you just don't see women in those roles a lot"), but it doesn't seem like your implicit bias colored your interaction.
>Today Rust and Go exist in different spaces. Go is a Python/Ruby/Java/etc alternative. Whereas Rust is an alternative to C/C++/etc.

You make it sound as if Python/Ruby/Java on one hand and C/C++ on the other are two well established, well delineated language blocks with completely different uses cases. That's never been the case in my experience, especially with the pair Java vs. C++ which might be the most apt comparison for Go vs. Rust.

It's absolutely obvious to me that Go and Rust are competing for market share, there's no reason why ripgrep couldn't be written in Go or fzf in Rust for instance.

Maybe it's irrelevant and there's enough room for both languages to coexist and thrive in the long term, but in my experience they really don't exist in different spaces at all.
I saw a screenshot of a CNN article which said that that the CIA frequently used tactics to make hacks appear as though they were from Russia. Which is something I always suspected was relatively easy to do...change some logs, some timestamps, use some existing code...I'm not a hacker per se, but most of us write code here and deal with these kinds of things...

So does anything in this vault possibly call certain recent allegations of Russian interference into question?
I think I inferred what I said from this quote:

> Several FBI field offices were involved in the hunt, and the FBI made a first attempt to hack and deanonymize him, but failed, as the hacking tool they used was not tailored for Tails. Hernandez noticed the attempted hack and taunted the FBI about it, according to the two former employees.

No evidence that it was a TOR exploit, but I interpreted it that way because they FBI and Facebook would most certainly have known he was using TOR from his exit IP rotating frequently and FB explicitly supports a TOR server hostname.
If you can’t distinguish A from B reliably, none of the rest matters at all. The idea that you have to “figure out what to look for” is nonsense if you cannot distinguish the two reliably.

“Listening fatigue” when you know which is which is simply placebo.

agree, while AWS added a bunch of tooling around this, is it still entirely to easy to accidental or lazily make a bucket public. I honestly think they should consider splitting S3 into S3 public and S3 private independent services. Buckets in S3 private cannot be made public unless migrated to S3 public.

I agree that the DRM/i915/amdgpu experience leaves something to be desired. (?)Ironically, the nvidia drivers are rock solid and just get out of the way, which has also been my experience on Linux. The only real fault I have with nvidia on FreeBSD is that they don't ship CUDA/NVENC/NVDEC.

With a stable GPU, the desktop experience is more or less identical to Linux, IMO. (I've been using Linux desktop since the mid 2000s and FreeBSD desktop since mid 2010s.)
What's the point of having a non-programmable dishwasher ?

And the answer is because people don't think of phones, dishwashers, TVs, cars, gaming consoles etc as computers even though by any technical definition they are.
I agree on your outrage, hopefully lawsuits are formed as Apple does not want to seem to budge. When the iphone first came out back in 2007/08 jailbreaking was pretty popular to get unlicensed apps on the phone, but try to update iOS when a security fix etc came out and watch the whole phone go back to factory defaults. I gave up years ago on installing anything not on the app store.
Well, Spotify doesn't allow it to so that it doesn't have to pay the tax. Everyone wants to make the signup flow as easy as they can, do you think they would not want to increase their userbase.

Google Play also has a 30% fee. The only prominent app that I am aware of that tried to get around the fee is Fortnite by releasing outside of the store.

Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony also get a cut of every game sold - even physical games.

US monopoly law has never been about producers. It’s been about consumers. Are consumers really better off with the insecure by design desktop operating systems? How much malware, ransomware, and viruses have there been on Windows? I’m not excusing Macs. The only thing that makes them safer is few people bother about writing malware for them.

Playing devil's advocate for a bit, would the A220 have accumulated so many orders had it not been backed by Airbus? The program was clearly in trouble when Airbus took over, which may have discouraged airlines from taking a chance on a great aircraft, but whose manufacturer ran the risk of running out of money to keep the program going.
Probably legal ramifications as well due to Apple competing with netflix

Well, Apple's products have a cult following, and Apple gets an exemption from all of Apple's rules. Seems fair that everyone with a cult following should get an exemption.

There's no requirement in law that all technology businesses need to hew to any particular philosophy or ideology of computing; no one has to be "open". This has always chafed a lot of tech people because Apple is successful while being "closed".

The only thing that would change this is if Apple was found to be "dominant" or have "monopoly power" in a "relevant market" as held by a court.

Some people think of the electric universe. The opposite makes more sense to me. The matter wave universe. Everything up there, just what the material down here agrees upon. When astronauts travel their location reflects changes in their makeup.

At some point, you just don't care what happens light years away, if it really exists or just perception overload. Chemical or molecular satellites and solar orbiters alter everything down here to say a new star exists up there. Travel there and land on very real planets, meet very real life no different than anything else.

I think this ends by one day walking into a doctor's office after you already got the pacemaker or a cell phone store after you already signed the data contract.

The great thing about modern racism is that no one can ever prove race was an issue in any particular case unless you confess it. As long as you don't express racist sentiments out loud, you'll always have some form of plausible deniability.
That's a great idea, looks awesome.

If I understand the pricing, it's free for up to 50 files in each folder/hub; for more it's $3.50, which you donate 100% to an anti-malaria charity!
There's a scale, here.

"Somone crashed into the bridge support pillar in the median and the bridge fell down" sounds like the fault of the engineer.

"A foreign nation sent a fighter jet" doesn't.

I don't have any ideas on how to have a reasonable standard of "this is the sort of attack you shouldn't fall to," though. How do you keep this from being years outdated very quickly?

Maybe you need to think why your company is not writing in Rust. Is there some quality of Rust that individual users prefer more than companies in general.

Whenever I hear about Rust in companies same dozen or so companies get mentioned every time.
no one expects to get the mpg rating of their combustion engine cars, I don't know why anyone would expect range to be the same. as long as they constantly benchmarking range against the same tests, range numbers are still usefull. I don't know anyone who would expect the listed range when they buy one, it's common sense that the tests are in optimal conditions doing everything possible to get that number as high as possible, just like traditional car numbers.
What’s there to respond to? Apple has never not allowed an app to forgo in app purchases as long as you didn’t provide an outside link. Saying Apple responded to them and apologized is about like saying an abusive spouse apologized after beating them.

Camden NJ rebuilt their police department overnight a few years back. Cancelled the union contract, fired everyone and started over. Rehired some of the same cops I believe as part of the new structure.

I predict they'll reach a backroom deal and that this abuse of power from Apple continues towards anyone who doesn't have the power to push back (unlike Spotify, Netflix, Uber, etc).

On a sidenote - I can't help but wonder who'll pay 100$/year for an email client. This product to me will be the decider between users no longer willing to pay for anything unless they absolutely have to, and people being rational and understanding that if the benefit outweighs the cost, the price doesn't matter.
It is time to sue Apple. It is time for the DOJ to break them apart. They are a monopoly, and this is unjust. Plain and simple.

If technology had evolved in an open fashion, this form of taxation would never have developed. The web could have been a completely open platform with a fully native experience. Instead Apple and Google shit on the web and force us to use their competing standards.

Both of these companies are a hindrance.

There should be one native experience and SDK. WASM has a chance to get us back to that enlightened path.
> Here, we can be shot by random guys in bars because they think we're Iranian

Cherry picking a single occurrence where someone shot someone for racist reasons is not how science works plus this has nothing to do with the discussion.

Microsoft, IBM, Google, Adobe, Nokia, Harman, MasterCard and PepsiCo etc all have Indian (minority) CEOs. Apple has a gay CEO. Claiming there is some bias against minorities is absurd.

One of the most pleasant parts of programming in C# is that an 'int' is an 'int'. If some function takes an integer input, that's exactly what it takes.

In C/C++, the base type system is so weak and squishy that everything redefines every type. You can no longer pass an 'int', but instead pass a "FOO_INT" or a "BARLONG" where FOO and BAR are trivial libraries that shouldn't need to redefine the concept of an integer.

Like C#, Rust has well-defined basic types, which eliminates a crazy amount of boilerplate and redefining the basics.
I haven't thought too deeply on it yet, but:

- ram usage today has gone from ~1.1GB to ~1.6GB

- DigitalOcean prices ram linearly at $5/GB (I'm currently on a $10/month droplet)

Today is a big spike obviously (the number of thumbs up/thumbs down events have gone from 3K to almost 10K today, vs going from 0 to 3K since February). But say I continue to grow ram usage at 0.5GB per week (growth hopefully won't be linear, but I'd say that's a pretty steep linear growth rate for now). That means my hosting costs would increase at a rate of $10/month which is not bad at all.

That's probably the crappiest scale estimation ever made ha ha, but I believe at least that I should have plenty of time to figure out a reliable marketing channel before I do any major re-architecting. Maybe some time I'll do a stress test on my laptop to get a better sense of how RAM usage increases with additional data.

I've been at 10s of weekly active users. I guess this should handle 100s just fine, but maybe not 1000s.
I've done the same thing with in-place Fedora upgrades over a similar time-frame. It is impressive, but not unrivaled in the Linux world. (I'm not playing favorites with Linux here: I'm a FreeBSD developer.)

Good for you, that is not the argument. I have no problems with them running a curated store, I have no problems with them shipping the device with only that store.

I do have a problem with them prohibiting any and all competing stores, or prohibiting people that bought the device from doing what they want to it

See you can have your nice little safe space and never escapes from the Safety of Apples Guided Cage, just do not force that on the rest of us.

I would argue the distinction there would be that you're subscribing to a general web service rather than a specific app, and that the app is just one of the ways to access the service.

But that doesn't really explain what is going on here, since the same should apply to Hey.
That might be too much of a reduction. You need academically successful members of your institution to get eye-popping headlines like "X discovered at University Y". Those PR pieces are partially responsible for the prestige. Concur on the point of family wealth helping institutions.
(1) I like generic code which I can use as I see fit later. In Scheme, I can write:

(lambda (x) (* x (+ 3 x)))

A half-decade later, someone can take that code, pass a pair of specially-crafted objects to it to introspect what it does, and take a symbolic derivative, pretty-print that derivative with LaTeX, combine it with a few other pieces, and compile it into native code (and yes, that does happen).

But a lot of my code is generic in a way where types get in the way.

(2) If I do have typing, the type should usually be specified manually, but it should have semantic meaning, not be based on inferring whatever types my programming language happens to have built-in. What's important isn't that something is an integer, but that it's a count-of-apples. I should be able to compare a count-of-apples to a count-of-oranges without first converting them to a count-of-fruit.

This is especially important for numerical code, and especially in education. A lot of Scratch tutorials have little kids add a velocity to a position, without first multiplying it by a time. That leads to deep-rooted misconceptions.

I don't mind type inference if it's designed to give me feedback. I've seen a few systems (designed for students) which do things like take JavaScript:

let x=5;

let y="hello";

let z=x+y;

And flag that in the IDE. That's kinda nice. And obviously, many systems do optimization at runtime based on inferred types. That's not a problem either.

So there's a fuzzy layer in between. But the discussion was about TypeScript, not that fuzzy layer.
