The extent of the USA's preparedness, from the federal agency in charge handling Emergencies, is a website with a bullet point list of what you should have in a first aid kit in your house:

https://www.ready.gov/kit

I'm being only partially facetious. There are of course multiple agencies at the federal, state, county, and local level with their own plans and processes in place for this kind of thing.

But! We can look to the past for what would happen.

Katrina taught us that the US federal government doesn't have the resources, means, or disposition to rescue people from disaster zones. It also taught us that as an individual or family, the best thing you can do is take evacuation warnings very seriously, and be ready to be able to provide for yourself and your family for the short and long term. So, ready.gov build a kit, and stuff it full of cash while you're at it. Keep the cars gassed up.

Katrina also taught us that the US government will choose to enforce "property rights" before it will ensure people in disaster zones have shelter, water, or food. You could flip from one channel with a helicopter view of people waving for help on a roof, and another channel would be showing National Guard soldiers with rifles chasing off "looters." Hm.

The COVID pandemic also taught us that partisans and capitalists are motivated to prioritize the wellbeing of the stock market over humans lives - all the more reason to prepare to protect yourself and family rather than count on the Gov coming to your aid.

I'm not saying the homesteaders and preppers aren't a little crazy, but I'm also not saying they don't have the right idea...
But what do you get in that regard by not using black? Maybe in 1% of cases you’ll find a better way of formatting that everyone will also agree is better. That doesn’t seem worth very much at all to me, especially when by not using it you have to do a lot of manual work across the entire team now to get the 99% that is free with black.
If companies expected and wanted users to be informed, the standard "we've updated our privacy policy" would be accompanied with a detailed list of changes or some sort of friendly marked-up change log. I have never seen anything like that from any company, so I have a hard time believing privacy policies and TOS are meant to be informative.
There are very clear reasons for SPAs to exist.

1) Prevent reloading of the page every time the user clicks a link, reducing the overhead of fetching common content between pages multiple times (headers, menus, etc) and providing a more seamless experience to the user.

2) Better emulate the feel of mobile applications, for users who spend most of their time on their phones and don't often or have never interacted with a computer. Yes, those exist.

3) Improved network performance (by sacrificing initial load time). Once the browser downloads and caches the bundle on initial load, the user can revisit the page on regardless of their connection stability or speed.

This isn't to say SPAs are a perfect choice in all cases (they also have just as clear drawbacks), but saying "it's what everyone does" is the only reason they exist is downright false.
and in the us food labeling sucks too. I see a trend here.
For evidence, look for reports of "excess mortality", i.e. how many people died this year compared to the same period of time in the average year. Some quick googling finds an ONS report of an excess mortality for 64,500 as of 2 days ago, which confirms the numbers of GP.
I’d only ever used systemd until recently when I installed Alpine on my home server, which uses OpenRC. I appreciate OpenRC’s simplicity but I miss some of the conveniences of systemd. Overall though, I think one of systemd’s biggest advantages is the wealth of documentation and examples available for it. (Thanks, Arch wiki!)

Is it a bad practice to write (hopefully) unreachable code?
Let's say you want to union two intervals. The code could look like this:

```

def union(self, other):

# Capture special cases
if self.is_empty():
return other
elif other.is_empty():
return self

# Standardize - after this step, the other.left is left of self.left
if other.left > self.left:
other, self = self, other

# Go through all cases
if other.right < self.left:
# Completely disjunct
return IntervalUnion([self, other])
elif other.right == self.left:
# next to each other
return Interval(other.left, self.right)
elif other.right <= self.right:
return Interval(other.left, self.right)
elif other.right > self.right:
# other is a superset of self
return other
else: # noqa
# This should never happen
raise NotImplementedError("Can't merge {} and {}".format(self, other))

```

Note that at the very bottom, there is unreachable code. At least I hope it is. If it isn't, then there is a bug. Making an error throw early is good practice. Unreachable code is bad. So ... is this good or bad?
Yes, it's how they move the overton window.
"As Portugal's consul in Bordeaux, Aristides de Sousa Mendes faced a moral dilemma. Should he obey government orders or listen to his own conscience and supply Jews with the visas that would allow them to escape from advancing German forces? ... But his initiative also spelt the end of a diplomatic career under Portuguese dictator António de Oliveira Salazar, and the rest of his life was spent in penury."

From thread:

So a big part of right-wing troll culture centers on dogwhistles: something that regular people would see and think, "I don't see what the problem is," but has a less wholesome meaning underneath. For instance, the "OK" hand gesture stuff.

We just got a major textbook example of this with the Trump campaign rally in Tulsa, now scheduled for this Saturday.

Originally it was scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, Juneteenth, in Tulsa, site of the notorious 1921 Black Wall Street Massacre.

Simply vile.

And if the excuse is it was all an honest mistake, even worse. That's the sort of cock-up a grade-school competent campaign team would scrupulously avoid.

I’ve come to appreciate the ease of creating “init scripts” with systemd, and also make regular use of the lightweight monitoring/auto-restart features. Likewise for running multiple instances of the same software.

But I do think the project suffers a bit of scope creep as it starts replacing cron, syslog, network device management, etc.

I can understand the reasons to centralize things, but I’d be happier if systemd “did one thing well” instead of trying to do it all.

I have no skin in the game either way but it seems like any book that tries to tackle controversial materials would have some people who don't like it. Interestingly the Wikipedia page only lists negative feedback in the Reception section, despite the book having generally good reviews and accolades from multiple different experts.

The fact that the book won awards from NYT, Royal Society of Literature, BBC, and many other publications and is well-reviewed, yet Wikipedia only lists negative feedback in the Reception section indicates to me that there must be bias in the Wikipedia article. I don't see any other answer for why more than half of the article is just listing criticism that doesn't seem to be reflected across the broader industry.

Again I haven't read the book and don't really care about the subject matter either way, but the Wikipedia does not seem to hide its bias.
Yes of course they do and comments like yours are exacltly why there continues to be an incentive to use dogwhistles like this. It's an inexhaustable source of plausible deniablity with a clear channel for singaling.

I found the „Hello world from scratch“[1] series from Ben Eater incredibly helpful in connecting the dots between electricity and modern computers. Strictly speaking it is about electronics, still it is superbly presented and incredibly enlightening when coming from „normal“ software engineering perspective of things.

What actually got me there was the book „Code“ by Charles Petzold[2] which traces the development from early circuitry like light bulbs and telegraph wires to modern digital logic. I found that after being introduced to these concepts, learning about the fundamental physics was much more accessible since it was framed in the context of contemporary application.

Eh, I think everyone serious about typography agrees that Computer Modern is just unreasonably thin. This is easily enough for me to consider it a lousy font that should literally never be used on screen, and I’m dubious about usage on paper. Unfortunately stockholm syndrome applies.

I think there should be a way to show the p2p aspect in the example; maybe have the go service and the node service talk to each other, without hardcoding anything ? Just to show how it leverages the whole p2p thing
The most common reasons for building a SPA:

* That is the design pattern dictated by your large framework.

* Maintaining state is absurdly simple, but it requires original code if not using a big framework.

* The browser provides a simple standard API for interacting with HTML, but your framework provides abstractions you didn’t know you could live without.

That’s it. Developers twist themselves in knots trying to qualify their opinions as anything more valid than what sounds like incompetence, but with any level of informed discussion it’s clearly about competence (or insecurity).
Yes, those misaligned incentives mean rewarding the cutthroat psychopaths who are obsessed with claiming credit for others work, instead of genuine team players who care about delivering a quality product. There is lots of cronyism, like all Indian or Chinese teams who protect and promote each other while only hiring others to fill their PIP quota. The higher you go in the org chart the worse it gets.
You still need js for interactive apps, SPAs avoid the spaghetti mix of html rendering and rendering client side.
The way in which we consume and deliver via internet has moved on from the early days of the web. It's no longer just text, images and links. There's much more to it now, and SPAs are a reasonable step forward to providing richer experiences online with more functionality.

Not sure you could ever call them an anti-pattern.
For context, here is the symbol used on the Antifa Utrecht homepage on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/antifautrecht/

I'm not sure how anyone can claim it's not related to Antifa.
This is the clearest explanation as to why the lengthy argument in this thread is pointless. Common sense makes it obvious that this symbol was not chosen purely to represent antifa.

I think it's plausible someone on his social media campaign saw banners with an upside-down red triangle.

I love how the goal post is moved to whether or not one existed to mind-reading WHY he might have been targeting people deliberately or why me might have used a niche Antifa logo.

edit ----

I'm sure Antifa groups attack the campaign on the same media platforms they share.

Maybe they saw it in a message or posted on a wall, who knows. The fact is you don't and I don't, why are we trying to mind-read why he might have done the worst case obscure scenario that someone suggested.

The more outlandish claim is that he was trying to demean the Jewish population with a symbol used during the holocaust.

You argue that his campaign couldn't have found this antifa logo, I argue that they weren't thinking about this holocaust symbol.
Not for me it wasn't.

There should be a difference between a 30% cut of an app (of which apple can say their toolkits and os development are part of the product offering) and a 30% cut of a subscription, especially a multiplatform subscription. if you could buy netflix with applepay, but then 90% of your netflix usage is not on apple devices, apple collects on that entire subscription.

Subscriptions should be priced more like a credit card transaction fee. They could have marginal brackets that increase slightly at scales, to account for bigger apps possibly causing more backed development work.
In what sense have we “recovered” from supply chain disruptions? I go to the store and still routinely see empty shelves where TP should be; have experienced meat shortages in recent days; and stores are still rationing things like hand sanitizer (when you can find it), canned goods, meat, and rice.
That's a good summary. The book was originally written for physics grad students who needed to build instrumentation for their experiments. So intended readers probably understand electromagnetic theory, but need to know how you do things with available parts. That's where it's really useful. I own copies of all three editions. Third Edition is on a shelf nearby.

A good place to start is to get one of the small Elenco electronics kits. The ones with a solderless breadboard. That will get you the basics. With a solderless breadboard, you can always buy and add more components. Much hobbyist electronics is done on solderless breadboards, especially Arduino stuff.

Once you understand E=IR and W=EI, you can size most components. Beyond that, use LTSpice.
Plus China went all in with this, Im thinking a lot of western countries would now be a lot more vigilent about copyright theft. China has been good at making imitations and improving on them due to their low labor cost and high production capacity. Once left on their own devices they’d inevitably screw up somewhere and being how top down they’re being governed they would be a lot less nimble IMO. But let’s see

This is really good feedback. I tried to sum it up with "vote them out" but I don't think that really captures what this PAC positions us to do.

We are a 527, which allows us to attempt to directly influence elections. 501(c)(3)s can't do this.

My goal is to use the donations we gather to fund analysis of the voting records, legislation, comments on the floor, etc. of our representatives, and then actively campaign against them when they are up for re-election.

We will prioritize based on election cycles (who is coming up for re-election), how much they've undermined these three measurements, and how close they are to the committees that are supposed to oversee these domains.

As a 527, we aren't stuck lobbying and paying lawyers to try to go through the court system. The key is that, as a 527, we can actively campaign against these representatives in their districts. We can directly fund political ads that put their record on mass surveillance _directly in front of their voters_.

By collecting email addresses, we can send out our analysis ahead of election day. By collecting donations, we can run ads in their district.

This is like saying 7-11 has a monopoly on what is sold in 7-11 stores.

If I want a copy of the King James Bible and 7-11 chooses not to sell that, I have to leave 7-11 and go find another store that does. Yes, that's a barrier I have to go through to get my Bible. Should the government make it 7-11's responsibility to solve that for me?
The Webpack dev team's time would be much better spent on making their code strongly typed, with configuration especially having a strong type definition. We need less Webpack to deal with, not more.
I don't disagree, but if you don't need the entire bag of tools, you can get by for quite some time (possibly indefinitely) using just `create-react-app` and friends. The issue with webpack is that the learning curve for going from CRA to manual tuning is incredibly steep, but what that buys you is full control over the entire build process.

I do wish there was a middle ground where you could use 90% sane defaults and customize the other 10% without taking on a huge amount of tool-specific baggage. Parcel is great for simple projects, but is not (in my very limited experience over a year ago) anywhere near customizable enough for more advanced use cases.
I mean, not really, this is just better than the alternatives. Also we own the currency it's not the same.

A really great low barrier to entry constraint language building off the concepts of lattices is Cuelang. It’s main developer is a former Golang core developer and the language is a superset of JSON meant for validating yaml, json, csv, etc. It’s does a good job of maintaining a mathematical purity with regard to unification disjunction, etc. while providing an easy to use tool for the common problem of validating configurations.

This looks like the free market at work to me.

Google policy explicitly permits apps like Apple Music to charge for subscriptions outside the App Store and for them to not allow taking subscription payment through the App Store.

Apple has a similar policy for “Reader” apps on their own App Store for apps which are used to access content that you subscribe to, which Apple reasons that “Hey” does not qualify for. That’s why Spotify and Netflix don’t pay 30% to Apple for their subscribers.

So I find this “gotcha” wrong on two levels. First, it isn’t inconsistent because Apple and Google are perfectly free to set policies on their own stores, and secondly, in fact they have similar policies for music subscription apps on both stores.

If app makers find the Android policy preferable, more app makers will choose to develop for Android and their ecosystem could be better of for it. In fact it doesn’t work that way because due to a combination of demographics and possibly software usability factors, users spend about 50% more money on the Apple’s store than on Google’s.
