"In the movie Steve Jobs, a character asks, “So how come 10 times in a day I read ‘Steve Jobs is a genius?’” The great man reputation that envelops Jobs is just part of a larger mythology of the role that Silicon Valley, and indeed the entire U.S. private sector, has played in technology innovation. We idolize tech entrepreneurs like Jobs, and credit them for most of the growth in our economy. But University of Sussex economist Mariana Mazzucato, who has just published a new U.S. edition of her book, The Entrepreneurial State: Debunking Public vs. Private Sector Myths, makes a timely argument that it is the government, not venture capitalists and tech visionaries, that have been heroic.

“Every major technological change in recent years traces most of its funding back to the state,” says Mazzucato. Even “early stage” private-sector VCs come in much later, after the big breakthroughs have been made. For example, she notes, “The National Institutes of Health have spent almost a trillions dollars since their founding on the research that created both the pharmaceutical and the biotech sectors–with venture capitalists only entering biotech once the red carpet was laid down in the 1980s. We pretend that the government was at best just in the background creating the basic conditions (skills, infrastructure, basic science). But the truth is that the involvement required massive risk taking along the entire innovation chain: basic research, applied research and early stage financing of companies themselves.” The Silicon Valley VC model, which has typically dictated that financiers exit within 5 years or so, simply isn’t patient enough to create game changing innovation."

Indeed. It seems like the winning move is not to play, but I guess that applies to all cyber-bullying. Avoid the offending environment (in that case, JupyterCon) and contribute to a place where discourse is appreciated.
One of those annoying words people use when trying to sound smart, but which, if you analyse it, means exactly the opposite of what they want to express.

Not half as annoying [mainly because so much less common to hear] as my all time favourite, that so-beloved of Americans phrase "I could care less about..."

One that, for some reason seems to crop up a lot this side of the point is "mortified", which means "deeply embarrassed" but which a surprisingly large number of people seem to think means "very annoyed".

I used to have this horrible dragon of boss who would regularly berate us all at meetings and shout that she was "mortified" that this, that and the other hadn't been done right. It gave me great pleasure one day to wait for her to finish one of these rants and then quietly say "I don't think that word means what you think it means!"

A person at this level of productivity will have an overwhelming amount of notes, and therefore an advanced system of organization is necessary.

I would guess that most people reading this are not anywhere close to that level, and likely do not need an advanced note-taking system. They would be better off spending time on their work, rather than spending time perfecting their system. This is especially true now that notes are often digital, and can be searched in their entirety in an instant.
'Halifax Rifles Reserve Unit' LOL! This is some guys's weekend beer fantasy. This would be a good Netflix comedy.

I think some commenters here are overstating the situation. This is not 'National Defense HQ' thinking 'hey let's try this out on the dumb plebes' - this is 'Bob' the 'Captain' in the Halifax Rifles but really a Restaurant Manager by day, who watches way too many History Channel war documentaries who decided to do his own training - or something along those lines. I don't know the truth but I would be shocked if this were approved from those above the reserve unit.
It's still not a silver bullet. There's lots of things in a LV driven app where you're still wondering what front-end library to use with it.

Typically you wouldn't use LV to handle:

Menu dropdowns, tooltips, popovers, modals (in some cases), tabs (when you don't want to load the content from the server) or things that change the client side state of something but don't adjust server state. That could be things like a "select all" checkbox toggle where that doesn't do anything on its own other than select or de-select client side check boxes or toggling the visibility of something. There's also things like wanting to copy to the clipboard or initiating stuff to happen on drag / drop (like animations).

Basically you'll still find yourself wanting to use JS with LV. Whether that's Stimulus, Alpine, Vue, jQuery, vanilla JS or something else that's up to you. But I do find most of the above necessary in a lot of web apps I develop.

This does concern me. For example, if I buy kindle books instead of physical books, my kids can't enjoy those books when I'm gone. I have a car that can now do software unlocking of physical features (e.g. rear heated seats). Am I adding value to the car which I can sell to the next person, or am I licensing the right to that feature for the duration for my own use.

Have you tried doing that? How do you like being hounded out of your job, and probably your profession, by a braying mob?

Edit: I also find it bitterly ironic that the Progressive Bay Area-centric Hacker News is now saying how bad all of this is, after being the complicit champions of it.
My hypothesis: a minority of adults with poor judgement cause legitimate problems. Organizers react appropriately and remove the person. Being expelled is scary! This person, or others fearing the same, ask "what rule did they break, is this rule applied fairly?". And the easiest way to make it less scary is to publish "rules".
We live in an information environment that is wide open. With the internet, any of our enemies can launch psyops campaigns against us at almost no cost. In such an environment, their campaigns must at least be countered, or else we would be steamrolled.

Wow, InertiaJS looks like exactly what I've been wishing for. Component-driven SFCs in Vue are the best tool I've used for interfaces in 20+ years, but I don't love having an API layer between the client and server. This is really interesting. Do you have experience with it and know how it handles frequently live-updating pages?
i was working on something similar to dlive/youtube/twitch. live video stream+chat+donations. nothing complicated really...until you have to handle video transcoding with ffmepg and then you realize you have to pay for proper hardware(with hw codec support) and suddenly the live video lag/delay grows because you have to encode on the fly for different qualities and codecs and so on so in the end i shelved the idea. anyway, ppv is nothing new but i doubt it will take off. the donation based model is simply the norm these days, especially with "superchats" and people make good money this way so i doubt audiences will want to move to ppv platforms. good luck though.
Even if you had to agree to the EULA before buying the product, it might still be invalid. There are laws in the EU limiting terms of service and similar non-negotiable pre-purchase contracts to unsurprising, expected-by-the-consumer, fair and equitable terms. Meaning that if there is a "buy" terminology used in the contract process, small-print cannot change that to "obtain a limited license", because that would be surprising and unfair.

Usually the infected computers are running Windows, which doesn't have full filesystem snapshot capability.

Storage servers/SANs will have snapshot capability but it takes a long time to roll back and bring things back up. Also, a lot of companies don't plan for the fact that restoring that snapshot effectively doubles the required amount of storage.

I've heard of storage vendors sending huge amounts of new shelves of disk to customers so they have enough space to expand their snapshots.

No. You can do it with one person.
In some cases they should, but the chain of responsibility does not end with the technical staff.

Technical staff needs resources from management and may own/inherit a well-organized network or a complete clusterf*ck depending on the organization.

Management deploys resources to a level to not annoy owners / investors. This level is influenced by external forces, like regulation.

So regulators need to step their game way up, but are also time & resource-constrained. How do regulators pull the needed resources? Tax money.

How to justify tax money? Have a public that is informed of the danger and criticality of having hospitals operated in the way they are right now.

This is of course a big simplification, but the chain goes much further than just "IT that doesn't patch."
What are you arguing here, though?

Honestly when they come with decisions like that, I'd like them to spend some time on a formal writeup - have them prove they understand the problem, the existing solution, the issues with it, and why React or technology X would solve it. Have them explain why they / their employer should spend thousands on changing it.

I mean it'll only take them an hour or two to write it up, better to spend that than the 20 hours it would take you (for example) to spin up a new stack.
Hmm, says to take vitamin D instead of going outside. But every time somebody tries to show some benefit to vitamin D supplementation, they utterly fail. (Covid resilience might be the only exception, if confirmed.) Something about being outside does whatever good correlates with high vitamin D, but we don't know what.

Similarly, every attempt to demonstrate any benefit of fish oil supplements fails miserably. There is something really good about eating oily fish, but it is evidently not the oil.
The goal of terrorism is always political. Fear is the tool used by terrorism to reach the goal. Fear is a defining feature, but just means to an end.

Seeing your confidence in that outlook, if you permit me an intrusion, I'd go so far as to say, you probably could say "decided" instead of "realized" and it would be accurate.

There are decades ahead for most people at that age. And instead of starting from scratch like an infant, you already have a lot of things going for you. If you were a close friend, I'd have badgered you relentlessly to believe in yourself. I hope as an internet stranger, I can plant a seed of belief in your mind.

Most people are capable of far more than they believe. Good luck!
I think the pull request model still makes sense. Of course if you stick to small changes it tends towards the patch model. However thete still some cases where two or three commits at once make sense. Even rarer there are cases where marging a bunch of changes into a "staging" branch before merging to master makes sense. I think this added flexibility is valuable, of course keeping the "patch style" single-commjt review great should probably be the priority.

My experience is that LiveView is fine for all but the last use case. And while in practice I often don't really need to keep things client-side-only, when I do it's often pretty easy to just write a bit of js and, if necessary, use hooks and events to communicate with the surrounding LiveView(s).

In fact, I vaguely recall that in the early days of LV, the creator himself argued that it should be used for just 'smaller interactive stuff'. Over time, we all discovered that LV does surprisingly well for SPA-type use cases (and as a result we now have stuff like router-level LiveViews (that take over the whole page), live_redirects, url updating, and so on).

> That could be things like a "select all" checkbox toggle where that doesn't do anything on its own other than select or de-select client side check boxes.

Why wouldn't you just keep that within the server-side state LV paradigm? I've done just that in a project I'm working on.

> There's also things like wanting to copy to the clipboard or initiating stuff to happen on drag / drop (like animations).

For those things you write js, yes.

Absolutely, but I'm continuously surprised how little of it I need, and how often I /think/ I do just because I haven't quite wrapped my head around the different paradigm.

You inadvertently gave away the game.

We can all agree that everyone has the right to be arbitrary and capricious. Codes of conduct are a formalization of expectations and rules for behavior. The are often tied (explicitly or implicitly) to an adjudication and enforcement process much more complicated than the person in charge just saying "get the fuck out".

However when someone brings up the idea of improving that bureaucratic process by comparing and contrasting Codes of Conduct language and enforcement to our society's hard-fought experience in creating fair justice systems, you retreated right back to the right to be arbitrary and capricious.

This is why people can't help but wonder: what the fuck are we trying to accomplish here? All I know is I need to publish a specific flavor of bureaucratic boilerplate so I don't get my reputation attacked for not publicly promising to kick out people I would have kicked out anyway. And that I can use that document to dole out punishments with a larger air of legitimacy and seriousness than just telling someone not to come around my place anymore.
