Good summary.

One of the issues I find with Rails is that the 'old-way' of views, partials and a sprinkling of React is INSANELY productive. I've been trying hard to justify getting into Stimulus properly.

DHH is on a four-month sabbatical at the moment and my hope is that he's working on open-sourcing the framework behind hey.com, which Basecamp are calling 'new magic'[0]

There's something coming around object-oriented view components and client-size JS. I'm just not quite sure the perfect recipe has been found yet.

Seems like someone from DigitalOcean is reading and responding to comments here. I won’t touch or recommend DigitalOcean to anyone unless it employs some humans to address and respond to queries instead of sending the same automated replies. The very first time I created an account, it charged my card for verification and then blocked my account (the charge was also immediately reversed) since its systems believed this was fraud. There was no way to get to a human, get any additional verification done and get my account reinstated. All I got was a string of automated replies with the same text. I decided then that this is not a company to rely on.

I don’t mind fraud protection measures, and am willing to provide additional verification based on what’s asked for and relevance. But there’s no such process with this company.

Later I see large scale layoffs in DigitalOcean, and I don’t think the situation could get any better.

I know the same kind of lack of customer service could be said of Google and certain other companies too. But DigitalOcean made my very first experience a bitter one and to advocate against it.
Wow, today I learned! I didn't realize that transformation would take place. I wonder how many people writing HTML are aware of these... your comment basically made me realize I in fact simply don't know HTML. Thanks!

I can’t read your article as Medium says I reached my quota. I manage an analytics team and I am pretty annoyed with most dashboard tool out there (Tableau, PowerBI, etc), so I have been extending our internal python grizly library with server side components built as python classes and rendered “reactively” using htmx. The idea being that my team could easily build scalable server rendered apps from Jupyter notebooks. Most analytics requires server anyway to for instance do Excel extracts or in memory data transformations. It’s been an amazing discovery of simple but powerful patterns and it’s working. My question is why is this not more popular? Maybe I am doing something wrong?

Here the car saves 100000 lives, but kills 5 people, when it could have just not killed the 5 people! And still saved the same 100000 lives!

That's a problem! To any normal person, that's a problem.

You're doing this weird math where actively murdering 5 people but saving 100000 is the same as just saving 99995, but it's not when the 5 murders were not a requirement to save 100000.

Maybe your confusion is thinking the safety features are the ones doing the killing when they're not? It's extra trimmings built on top of the safety features that are doing the killing.

In other words:

> If it's still safer than a car without those features even after falling into the trap then my reaction is a big shrug.

It's not safer! Because that sentence is about the convenience features are not the safety features!

LKA, AEB, Crash avoidance, those all operate separately of the convenience features! And it's not a guess about how the internals work either, Tesla literally sells things like "Navigate on Autopilot" separately.

It's really simple logic. The safety features save lives. The convenience features, by definition, cannot save lives that the safety ones didn't.

When a Tesla avoids hitting a car coming into it's path, it's not because Navigate with Autopilot was on, it's the Active Safety Features function:

https://www.tesla.com/support/autopilot

But when a Tesla hits a stopped firetruck after Autopilot lulled the driver into thinking they wouldn't have to brake, the active safety features can't do anything! Because the convenience features are subject to the same limitations as the active safety features.

---

That's the crux of the issue that you keep missing. No one is saying the active safety features should save more lives, they're saying the convenience features need to stop tricking people into driving distracted. Because those people sometimes die in accidents that wouldn't have happened if they didn't have them.

The safety features would still save the same number of people, just no one would die needless deaths in the name of marketing and looking cool.
> If someone were to bring their family, they have done so with the explicit knowledge that the situation could change at any time.

I don't disagree - and I'm a US citizen, who previously was a greencard holder, who previously came here via the H1B process.

But look at it this way: the whole greencard approval process sometimes takes years, or even over a decade. When people spend 10 years in some place, the perspective changes a bit. It does become a complicated issue, with moral overtones too.

Make the goddamn greencard approval (or rejection) faster. If processing the papers took a few months, instead of years, after which you got your yea or nay decision, then the whole issue would be much simpler - and, indeed, as you say it would not be a moral issue at all.

But think of someone who spent here 10 years, brought their spouse here, had a couple kids (that clock doesn't stop ticking just because you're waiting for a rubber stamp to hit the paper), the kids go to school, and from a cultural perspective the kids are American - and then they are all told to get the hell out of here. That's terrible.

Speed up that stupid process. Then sure, tweak the rules any way you see fit.

Most coders I see give up on asking clarifying questions because they realize quickly that the answers aren’t there, and they never will be, and this is somehow okay to the person who is telling them what to do.

It’s really obvious during remote work: PowerPoint then silence, then a bunch of assignments handed out. If you ask any one of the audience, coder to coder, they all have the same confusions; some write a fancy class template like ‘ProblemSolverObjectDispatchFactory’, others just ignore.

> the quality of the service is impeccable

Well I disagree with that, and perhaps that is the foundation of the problem. When something is easy to use, and free, you will miss the other stuff that is out there, or you might stifle the progress and competition of the other stuff that is out there.

There are much better platforms out there for email, documents, video, and more, but you may not know they exist so you are satisfied by something that is honestly fairly mediocre at this point.

And, how do you find Google's competitors? Are you going to use Google's own service, Google.com, to look for alternatives to Google? Well there's a problem right there.

When you examine the interests of junior developers it typically boils down to: how to write code. This is foundation of which tools and frameworks to use, what rules to apply and so forth. That line of thinking has virtually nothing to do with product.

As the article states very well one of the most important impacts of writing is planning. If you want to do anything original or competitive you must have some idea of what you are doing before writing code. Writing addresses that concern. Eventually, with practice, the planning and vision becomes a quick thought exercise and writing is the means by which to express those thoughts to other people.

If you want to measure the impact step back and examine the end product. Are the internals well communicated? How much ramp time does a new developer require to become a productive contributor?

Think of writing as a defensive tool. It’s not going to push your software to make more money. It’s going to reduce expenses.
Not just "bit" harder, but much, much.

US companies can no longer innovative in these areas and Chinese began to take over. TikTok is a prime example, if nothing changes the USA will have to use muscles(like Trump is trying to do) to keep their internet companies relevant or have its citizens use Chinese networks. Both options are bad for the consumer in the long run.

TikTok is only one example but soon others will come. The quality of Gmail and Google Search is not what it used to be, Huawei are aiming for Apple-like integration on their platforms(and on Android, there's no one else doing it) and so on. Google And Facebook are simply printing ad money, I don't even remember what was the last "Wow moment" with them.

get/consult a lawyer to make sure everything was good

do the whole change

and end up in the exact same situation

I've done the change so let's not pretend it is some super easy, doesn't matter thing

Why is this on the top of the hacker news? The article talks about nothing that will stop the abuse. There are indeed a lot of RFEs that are being given out if you don't have a CS degree and apply for a Software Developer position already.

The Pay structure that the article mentions is NOT true anymore. Take a look at the links[1], it's withdrawn and the rule is not valid.

How is hiring folks with a CS degree for an SWE position a solution to H1b abuse?

The rule published here specifically talks about three things(Yes, I read it line by line just so that I can do my due diligence before I comment here)[2]:

1/ Change the meaning of "Speciality Occupation" and tie this to the College degree that the person has.

2/ If you are part of these "body shops" and you are working as a contractor, your visa will only be extended for 1 year.

3/ Some general statements about Site Visits.

4/ No comment on increasing the wage.

The first child comment that we see below is an anecdotal evidence about seeing a house with dozen(?) folks in a 3 BHK flat? What does it do with H1B visa abuse? How is sending money home AFTER taxes H1B abuse?

Still debating how we went from thoroughly researched and thought provoking comments to these.

I don't debate that there is H1B abuse.

- Programmers are paid very less when compared to prevailing wage.

- Programmers cannot leave their employers so employers hold them by their balls and get work done overtime.

- Programmers stay away from their family, contribute to taxes AND to social security. KNOWING that they may never see a day to collect Social security.

All of this is H1B Abuse. There is no evidence that folks on H1B visa compete with a US Citizen's job. (I'm taking about H1B, not offshoring).

Literally NONE of the changes that this administration is doing is addressing ANY of these concerns for both the US Economy and the H1B individual. Comments like these are dangerous since they give an illusion that the administration is doing something to improve the economy, but they are just party tricks.

Only if they are different species. Root fusion is a thing and it can help lift young trees up to the canopy by slipping them extra sugars through the root system.

Two vivid demonstrations of this are albino trees that grow despite having no chlorophyll of their own, and living tree stumps - the stump scars over, yet never grows branches of its own, because it is fused to a sibling nearby. I’ve seen pictures of both, but have only seen the latter in person.
In many nations rich people used to be extremely powerful, having their own armies, judicial corps...

While remaining powerful, they are much less so than 1 to 4 of centuries ago.

Nowadays a tax raise or police blunder triggers very politically determinant reactions from fickle crowds (France, USA...).

IMHO during the past century the power went to the richest people (oligarchy) in way less zones than to mobs installing an "absence or impairment of a procedurally civil and democratic process". Think China, USSR, many countries in South-America, even many "democratic" Western nations...

I find that reading about nuclear accidents actually helps here. Assuming you’re not standing next to something unbelievably “hot” (don’t do that!), the main issue is the dust that tends to settle onto everything and keep irradiating you.

What makes the immigration process in the US truly horrific is the extraordinary time it takes to approve or reject a greencard petition. In many cases it takes years - or even over a decade or more. That's insane. People bring their spouses here, they have kids who are born and go to school here, and all along the way their immigration status is uncertain. And meanwhile they are tied to whatever job they're in. It's insane.

Make that process faster. Give people a thumbs-up or thumbs-down like 10x faster. Months not years.
I'm not sure if Texas Parks & Wildlife has discussed bounties to encourage culling. Such a program would probably require increased taxes to fund, which is not likely to be popular... though with the apparent increasing coverage of the issue, maybe that wouldn't be a problem. If everyone is on board, then it's just a question of how much the people (read: the government) are willing to spend.

I would also be concerned about unintended consequences, like you mentioned. I know for a fact that there are people today who, if they manage to trap the right pigs, would try to sell them. Their market would be landowners that offer canned hunts on a high-fenced property (say, $300 for a guaranteed large hog kill). Sure, the hog is still dead - but what if it breeds first? What if the piglets then escaped? Personally I'd feel dirty if I didn't cull the animals I trapped immediately, but if I were less financially secure, maybe not.
> The combination of state, local, and federal school funding makes it so that the districts attended by poor students are funded 2.5% more than non-poor students. And even within districts, “schools with less advantaged students spend at least as much (and often significantly more).”

...

> Property based funding of schools is not likely to be a very effective target for school reform since our current system does not actually have large differences in the funding of poor students. I think that it is more likely that the dysfunction in the schools is best explained by a lack of continuity and efficiency within the schools that serve poor students.
The property tax debate is mostly just an easy but misguided target for explaining the achievement gap. On top of the pure fact that property based taxes have actually still allowed for the progressive funding of schools, we already have examples of states that fund students without a total reliance on local property taxes.
Take Michigan. Michigan has a centralized funding source for their students. The state takes an overall tax and then breaks it up evenly across students within the state (there are extra complexities to this that are addressed in this article). Even with these changes in school funding, it does not appear that the reformed funding strategy had any impact on student outcomes.
In general, funding is not a good proxy for educational quality.

There's a difference between an individual making a judgement, a payment processor making a judgement, and a communications platform with over 2 billion users making a judgement.

Perhaps not (yet) legally, but we should at least be able to admit the effects on society are very different. In fact, we do, when it suits us. Talk about Facebook "allowing hate to spread", and all those "private company they can do what they want" arguments disappear (or get made by an entirely different set of people), as some people miraculously become able to understand the difference in kind between a single individual and one of the largest companies on Earth.
