I tried to do that in the article. But the thing is that when you're writing a little piece of code React makes it dead easy to make hover in your code. There a lot of little things like that.

You start out with good intentions, but after 4 years of different people certain parts of codebase start looking really weird even with code review. You just can't catch every little detail.

But maybe it's more analogous to ask about running ~/Downloads/legit_program (or maybe ...\Downloads\legit_installer.exe). As I said in my sibling comment, this is safe on Linux (if legit_program really is safe) but they're right that on Windows it's dangerous because the program will pick up zlib.dll etc. in the downloads directory. Maybe this is part of the reason for .msi installers: they end up running the MSI installer executable, which is located in some system directory instead.

I really wish there were more beginner developer friendly diy options for car entertainment. I’ve been considering making a carputer out of a raspberry pi, however, half the solutions are proprietary (looking at Qt), however there were some demos of this running on an rpi. So that is a nice development.

I’d rather just put a normal Linux distro there, however, I’m not feeling like waiting 8 seconds every time I turn in my car.

Apple CarPlay is in the same boat requiring an MFi private certificate, and no way to provision a short lived cert like they do for iPhones.

Let's all be honest, that's complete laziness or lack of knowledge by the developer.

All joking aside, I would argue the client side vs server side is a false dichotomy. The web has been doing a hybrid of both for a very long time now. Each have their pros and cons and there hasn’t been anything stopping engineers from using a mix of both, where it makes sense.

Now about those cargo cult marketers...
I think wealth is essentially a means of distributing, directing and exchanging social power. So wealth and scarcity are not necessarily cruel, unless you feel like cruel deprivation is necessary to maintain social power. Then the question is not how do you distribute cruelty and wealth, but rather, how do you direct society in order to minimize cruelty?

I think meritocracy would be a really bad way to go about this, because rooting power in 'merit' would very quickly lead to merit being defined as whatever maintains incumbent power. So you'd end up with not only something that isn't meritocratic in any reasonable sense, but also corrupts the idea of merit. And since that's often knowledge-based merit, you'd end up with a situation where whatever 'knowledge' incumbents had proved proficiency in would become something they would protect against all challengers. Intellectual stagnation and extreme discouragment of creativity would be the norm.
The article basically says that it's bad to support multiple choices (crypto primitives) in a protocol.

> If you need to enumerate the options you support, it means that not only you support multiple ones, which is already bad, but you need to communicate the choices in the protocol itself, meaning you do runtime negotiation. Do you want bugs? Because that’s how you get bugs.

The author then says that we should just bump the version of the protocol each time we change the ciphers. This already assumes that every time there is always only one algorithm that governments, standard bodies, cryptographers, companies, banks, hw manufacturers and others can agree to.

Good luck with that

And besides, how will you update our map that says that protocol "age" 1 uses rsa, "age" 2 uses ed25519? That's right, with "Registries". Unless you convince the whole world to just instantly switch to the new version at the same time, so that you can also drop the old version.

In general, these posts sound a bit like this: I tried jQuery, and after a while it all became a mess; took up a Backbone project, and was good for a while, but eventually it became too complex; then I worked on Angular and that seemed a big improvement, but then... and finally with React my architectures are clean.

While the reality is more like this: I had 6 months of programming experience and used jQuery and made a disaster; with 1.5 years of experience I used Backbone and I fared better; with 3 years of experience I tried Angular and I was able to build a decent size application but ultimately shot myself in the foot; and now that I have 6 years of experience my software quality has improved a lot, it must be react!

Hey :) you should see my brain and discover what I'm plagued by! I struggle with moderate anxiety and depression on and off too and esp this year has been quite hard.

Work is quite therapeutical for me because it keeps me creative, active and have goals. It keeps me on the rails really. Daily creative stuff to work on. My dad does the same as he's always renovating the house, doing woodworking, or studying film history. Just tasks to do.

Even if those tasks feeling meaningless and motivation drops (eg symptoms of sneaking up depression, especially during this crazy year), getting one task done usually helps to alleviate that and get back into it. That and a supportive girlfriend, working out a lot and trying to eat healthy.

I think it's much more common especially in entrepreneurship and ambitious pursuits than we think, so the moment I drop the word depression or anxiety people are like "omg are you okay?", but it's just a part of my and many people's existence I think.

So just so you know, while it might look like my brain has it together from afar, it's somewhat of a struggle on and off and will be the rest of my life, and I think for many people. And my work might just be a result of trying to deal with that, instead of an obstacle.

Why not Real Time Linux?

Webapps have been dealing with this for years, it's not anywhere as painful as you are making it seem. Pick a base version to support, use feature detection to add anything new, and you're golden. The existing browser APIs cover 99% of all apps' needs already, and when you're doing this you can always hand-off things to the native layer as needed.

Electron sets a very unrealistic eternal-greenfield-development standard that is nothing like developing for the web.
Pure-Impure Segregation Principle (When FP Approaches and When They Don't)
No more memories, sorry. That was way back when phone conversations were over wires and television was wireless.

The chain of concepts to be taught was linear, and for each concept there would be a few paragraphs of instruction, followed by a set question with multiple choice ("if you think the answer is X, turn to page Y") set. A correct choice would lead to the next concept, while the available incorrect choices would each lead to material clearing up that presumably common misunderstanding[1] (leaving the reader with uncommon gaps to reread the intro?).

I can no longer remember if the clarifications included check-up questions or just looped back to the original.

[1] In book form, this approach wouldn't work well if the concepts had long-tails of possible misconceptions. Online, that could be less of an issue.

> Ever heard of tax deductible donations?

Tax deductible donations have the same intent but is a poor policy implementation for rich people who already pay so little in taxes. It doesn't accomplish the effect of redistribution of wealth because so little redistribution actually happens. We want our wealth to return social good, not extra wealth -> that's the point of the policy.

I should have been more explicit that I was proposing a wealth transfer alternative to UBI, which is to create privatized social funds that rich people are effectively forced to contribute money to or lose their wealth significantly over time.

> Also, what makes you think that a private person is better at deciding where to put their money and has less inclination to donate this money to a social cause that has direct positive outcome for them

> instead of a state, capable of overseeing ALL of its people redistribute the taxed money to the poorest communities or those that need the help the most in some area?

Uh... who do you think runs the state? Rich people.

And if you really think the state is the perfect ideal father figure that cares for all of its people... please tell me where you live so I can move there too. "The state", in most of human history, is woefully inept at making good, centralized decisions, and it's decentralization (which is btw a UBI principle) that has given us equal rights, fairness, and societal mobility. For most of history, anytime you aggregate power to a central state, bad things happen.

Back to my point though, the interesting thing about social funds is that they can be privatized and form their own market economies. For instance, Elon musk could use his social fund to combat climate change. Bill gates is already doing this to tackle large humanity issues. Warren buffet will probably use it to help middle america. Jeff Bezos... will probably give half of the fund to his wife.

But it's a pretty interesting policy that goes with the spirit of the American ideal which puts the power of changing the world into the individual's hand rather than centralizing it into the government, which is why I described wealth transfer to a government as "un-American".

Social funds with a committed vision towards non profit activities is really not a bad idea the more I think about it. Some rich people will definitely fund UBI with it.
How did you find this comment?
> sqLite - This is described as being unsuitable for
> production by it's makers.

I would doubt that is what the creators of SQlite intend one to take away from their documentation:

"SQLite works great as the database engine for most low to medium traffic websites (which is to say, most websites). The amount of web traffic that SQLite can handle depends on how heavily the website uses its database. Generally speaking, any site that gets fewer than 100K hits/day should work fine with SQLite. The 100K hits/day figure is a conservative estimate, not a hard upper bound. SQLite has been demonstrated to work with 10 times that amount of traffic.

So SQlite is quite a valid choice if you need a database and stay below ~500k HTTP requests per day. So it probably is "production ready" for many a site.

I agree with your sentiment, generally speaking. It derives from needing to pull pride from another thing through self-selected association. It's the same thing that sports fans do when their preferred team wins a championship. You see all sorts of weird permutations of this concept in action. When NASA or SpaceX does something, it's said to be an accomplishment for all of humanity, people around the world want a piece of that pride, to be part of a great thing.

It's a component of tribalism (and neither inherently positive nor negative), probably deeply wired into humanity. It also happens around race, religion, politics and ideology broadly.

Why? Well, the answer is a mixed bag of positives and negatives. It's the same reason people obsess over celebrities (tabloids, fan groups, and so on). Their own lives are not very interesting, they lack/yearn for accomplishment, so they desperately seek to fill voids via the things they take an interest in, trying to grab hold of accomplishment elsewhere, slice off a tiny bit of that for themselves through distant association. It's why nations culturally revel in their historical accomplishments, even if they were 2,000 years ago. On the positive side, it probably helps create bonds between people socially, culturally, and is likely a requirement for the formation and sustainment of civilization (drawing pride from a thing, allocates self-interest in supporting/protecting the thing).
What's happening is that you're getting bogged down by low-importance, low-impact tasks that are basically not going to make any difference if they're done before you launch.

One of the techniques I've found useful is simply starting new task lists every now and again, especially when I'm feeling overloaded. Don't transfer stuff, just add what you need to do off the top of your head.

You can keep the old ones to double check later, but I rarely ever do, the really important things will get added again.

Another thing to note, you really should have tried to sell at least one copy before you wrote a single line of code. I keep making this same mistake, but leaving the sales part until last is a recipe for disaster. That stuff shouldn't be in the second 90%.
I know people who absolutely despise their job. More money isn't necessarily better.
Which movement was that?
When I replaced the SSD in my laptop with a larger one and needed to resize the partition (and filesystem, etc.) to use the capacity of the larger SSD, I had to do that at least on the filesystem, LVM and partition table levels. Or at least I don't think I found any tools that would have done the entire job for me, because I remember doing the layers step-by-step.

If there's no LVM, most point-and-click tools allow for resizing a partition and a contained filesystem in a fairly simple process. (Having a LUKS encrypted volume might complicate that, but if the encryption is on the filesystem level, that could also be avoided.)

People who dual-boot might also need to resize their partitions if their needs regarding the operating systems change, or if they made a mistake in their original allocations.

That's probably not enough of a reason to make a major switch, but it could be one task that could be simplified.
Knowledge Mapping
Code-splitting is supported in ClojureScript. Compiled CLJS is just JS, so service workers and CDNs should work in the same way.

However, CLJS really does feel like application development (which is why I like it, tbh) and the community doesn't seem to pay much attention to the use-case of regular web pages which just need some JS components to add interactivity. Googling for strategies to optimise CLJS for that use-case won't get you many results - you have to understand the stack well enough to do it yourself.
Illustrate an example of how programming a machine was revolutionary, such as the Jacquard loom or the Hollerith machine.
That depends on what is the definition of basic. I assume food, electricity, water and a place to live would be covered under UBI, I think there's no arguing about that. But anything else? I can easily imagine calls for extension for things like entertainment. Should internet access be considered basic? How about TV or a game console? Mobile phone? I'd say these shouldn't fall under "basic" needs, but that might change.
