In the early days its easy to be unimpressed and rightfully so, but its certainly a signal of potential change in the order of things.
Yeah, I've heard of similar things in the US. I think it requires going to court to have the amount reduced or eliminated. I think it usually requires that the change in occupation be involuntarily (like being fired or laid off) so that people can't game the system that way.

And sometimes the system fails the other direction too. My wife's father got divorced and had a high paying job, so he was required to pay a lot of child support. He was in a car accident which resulted in him being in a coma for months. Since he wasn't making money during that time in the hospital, his bank account was emptied and the court issued an arrest warrant since the child support was not being paid. He lost his job and was never able to get a new one. He's now living on food stamps and waiting to reach the social security age. The family court system ruined his life.

No, React was announced in May of 2013, and ES6 wasn't finalized until a couple years later.

FWIW, we specifically recommend that most folks should _not_ learn Redux until they're already comfortable with React. In fact, the new "Redux Essentials" [0] and "Redux Fundamentals" [1] core docs tutorials specifically say "we assume you know React already" as a prerequisite. (And yes, I really wish bootcamps didn't throw devs straight into Redux, but I understand why that happens. That's a large part of why I just rewrote our tutorials.)

> Not many people advocate redux these days, which I find unfortunate given how good redux toolkit makes it.

Russian is not a very phonetic language. However, unlike English, the mismatches are somewhat consistent, e.g. an adjective in masculine gender and accusative case ends with -ого (-ogo), which is pronounced (-avo/-ava), but at least it's always pronounced -avo/-ava.
The languages and dialects in the blob referred to as 'Serbo-Croatian' are much, much more closely related to each other and generally mutually intelligible in contrast to even neighbouring languages like Slovenian and Macedonian.

And of course, many people in the Balkans speak far less related languages - Albanian, Romanian, Greek, Turkish, etc.

> Dark is intending to be "batteries included" and relieve developers of the need for a huge ecosystem with multiple libraries for everything.

If it's actually going to be 'batteries included' in any meaningful way, then it will have to piggy-back off of one or more of these 'huge ecosystems', which invariably leads to the ability to integrate external pieces of these systems when needed. Which just makes it a wrapper around existing 'huge ecosystems'.

There's a reason why established languages such as Java, C#, C++, JavaScript, etc. have multiple libraries for the same problem - these libraries have different features, tradeoffs, designs etc. Same reason why existing projects get forked and new projects get started. Same reason these 'huge ecosystems' have frameworks, design patterns, idioms, best practices, etc. Competition, innovation, new designs, new ways of solving existing problems is a good thing.

I don't see dark as anything more than a very new framework, with lofty promises and zero evidence towards the idea that it will be better than existing systems in any way.

Right? And especially in these event stream architectures we like to use now. We still use outbound mail queues don't we, if for no other reason than to control the blast radius of any bugs in the system.

I don't need to send you a mail, I need to tell the system that handles mail to send you a mail. As long as I spend a small amount of care on avoiding the Confused Deputy scenario (eg, open relay), that would work better and contain much of the PII to a low-traffic (network and, as you say, code delta) system.

Prices across the board could increase if say the cost to produce and deliver them went up across the board, perhaps because the cost of energy/oil goes up, perhaps due to constrained supply. This isn't inflation and the price increase isn't due to inflation.

Prices across the board could also go up if war breaks out. That's not inflation.

Those types of price increases are due to the supply side. Inflation is due to the demand side and the available dollars chasing the [same amount of] goods.

Price increases and inflation are not the same thing. They are typically related though.

Interested to see this because I'm neither a JavaScript nor frontend dev, but over the last two weeks have been gently learning React out of curiosity, applying it to a small personal project. The last time I used JavaScript was with Angular 1.x around 2013. Iirc the angular learning curve was negligible; React's is steeper, but I can't compare with modern Angular - seems it's up to 11.rc1. I get the impression React has mostly won the battle. I was wondering if maybe I should have tried Svelte instead, but React is the name I keep seeing, so figured that's where I'll peek (first?). I think the muddle I need to sort through at the moment is the old tutorials vs the new tutorials as I'm seeing multiple ways of doing things but don't yet know which are the new ways, the best practices, or the trade-offs with each.

DNA is our best bet, but as we see it's the missing part of the story.

With this said, it makes for a decent fictional writing prompt.

It's 2045, the cold case on Mostly Harmless has been reopened after 24 years. Advances in DNA matching technology beyond what we imagined possible in 2020 have occurred. Detective Williams submits the preserved DNA to the US National DNA Registry (DNAR). Within minutes an exceptionally high probability grandparent match is returned. The record had been added just 8 days previous, but was a sealed record. Inquisitive about the circumstances that would lead to the improbable events that a match existed, was only in the system for 8 days, and was sealed he put in a formal request for unsealing to DNAR. DNARs response was "Pursuant to USNADR Act 11A all juvenile records are sealed until the date of the records documented 18th birthday. A warrant must be issued by a judge for unsealing. Per subsection 15 of the act on permissible information release, the requested records year of birth is: 2045."

Assorted thoughts, with no particular relationship or broader point:

> the STAR version takes ~25 candidates

I was just poking around on the star voting site, and "More than 5 candidates" was one of the criteria for whether there should be a primary or a single election.

> I just imagine that if a voter had any slight preference of one candidate over another, they would indicate that in the approval method.

Well, depending on the number of candidates, this isn't always possible — If there are 4 candidates who you love, like, dislike, and hate respectively, you don't have a way to express the difference between love/like and dislike/hate.

> I made an assumption about voters in my example that you didn't make, which is that voters will try to impart their own will as much as possible. This means always using the 5 star vote in the STAR method.

There's research here that considers both honest and strategic voting: https://electionscience.github.io/vse-sim/VSE/

I don't know if it considers that someone might always vote 5 stars for their favorite candidate, but thinking about that, I agree it is probably likely. It would not make much sense to cast an approval voting ballot and vote against, or for, all candidates. Might as well not vote, at that point :P

> How would a condorcet election leave out expressiveness?

N voters rank A=5, B=1, C=1.

N+1 voters rank A=4, B=5, C=1.

B is the condorcet winner, but I think it's clear that A is the best choice. This a failure mode of STAR voting as well, which elects B, while vanilla score voting (and approval voting) would elect A.

> What exactly does it mean if I give a candidate 4 or 5 stars?

I like to work up from FPTP (if I'm talking to someone who's not into this, I'd just call it "our current system" or "single choice"):

- In our current system, you vote for one person. Count the votes, and whoever has the most, wins.

- In Approval voting, you vote for as many people as you want — anyone you'd be okay with. Count the votes, and whoever has the most, wins.

- STAR voting works like Approval voting, but instead of a yes or no, you rank the candidates with 0-5 stars, like Yelp/Amazon reviews. Add up the stars, and whoever has the most, wins.

At this point, I make a choice about whether to mention the runoff, because it is hard to explain with words alone. If the person I'm talking to is interested, intellectual, or if I have access to a computer where I can show them this picture[1] on https://www.starvoting.us/star, then I'll go ahead and mention the runoff. Otherwise, it causes too much confusion.

Very negative view in the article, but as long as they are open about it to the listener it doesn't seem like it has to be a bad thing. It will provide some incentive for artists to pick tracks that will be popular enough to compensate for the reduced per play-profit, if they do this well, it's also a track that listeners are likely to appreciate. Basically the incentives here align, and as long as they don't start removing the existing mechanisms for discovery, there's nothing forcing artists to opt in to this.

> but I still find .NET lagging behind the JVM/Python/Go ecosystems

It probably depends on what libraries you seek. In the enterprise software world the only options for a vendor's library/SDK are often .NET or JVM (and asking them "Do you have a Python or Go library" will probably elicit a response of "What in tarnation do snakes and board games have to do with programming?").

As for whether it's CLR or JVM, the question's usually answerable with:

if vendor.preferred_os == 'Windows':
'CLR'
else:
'JVM'

And since Windows is still pretty commonplace in a lot of smaller enterprise software shops, CLR ends up being the norm for a lot of the COTS products out there.
It's funny how moral systems work. Obviously what you say is the system we have democratically chosen to use, and yet you get downvoted seriously ...

So people want this system, even to the point they're willing to destroy people's lives over it (mostly, but not exclusively, men's lives), and yet they consider it offensive if one points out the nature and consequences of this choice.

There are other consequences too: obviously it is easy for the man to avoid this responsibility: simply lose your job. There's a legal saying "you can't force blood from a stone". In other words, if this man wants out from under his responsibility, he is guaranteed to achieve that, laws or no laws. And yet that, too, people are unwilling to consider and I'm sure is offensive to bring up too.

If you think it through, you'll realise that this system gives the power to the person willing to do the most damage to the other and the child and because of the preexisting conflict encourages exactly that. This guy can cause repossession of the house, take away 2/3rds of the woman's income, and have child services take the child away. And there is absolutely nothing any additional laws or judgements can do to prevent this, in other words, the judge, any social help and/or the police are totally powerless to do anything about it. Obviously if this guy plays hardball negotiation, if he is willing to use the child to get what he wants (just like the woman was using the child in the court case), he will obviously win such a negotiation, especially if he can fall back on his parents for living expenses. He is threatening, after all, to damage himself, and her only recourse ... is to damage him. In other words, she has no recourse. The judge has no recourse. Social services have no recourse. They will lose if he presses through.

You don't believe this will be the result? Ask child protection services for their "most common problem". This is it.

I'll get downvoted as well I think.
