I believe in this case it illustrates that lightweight is possible.

I think it might be like bicycle parts. It is ridiculous that parts are sold with a pricetag PLUS a weight in grams.

I mean, you could save the equivalent of $100 by wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

But those obsessive people end up making most bicycles lighter weight, and thus bike rides for normal people are more enjoyable.
Principles of Software Engineering: Solid DRY Kiss
I'm not sure I understand this comment. I can believe that typescript might not be typesafe, but what does the runtime not having type information have to do with that? If a compiler only accepts sound programs, then it shouldn't matter whether the runtime actually knows about the types or not (unless you want to do some sort of reflection, but allowing that is arguably _less_ typesafe). By that logic, you'd also have to consider anything that compiles to native code also not to be typesafe, because there sure aren't types in assembly.

I just picked this up a few weeks ago. I have migraines and get extremely light sensitive, and a few years back my sensitivity became strong enough to cause white UIs to give me some major problems.

This extension has been a lifesaver for me already. I'm only overstating it a little bit; not instantly getting a headache on a bright white screen is a major relief.
I feel a rebirth of BitTorrent in the wings honestly. Symmetrical connections are getting more popular and inline (creator made) sponsorships have become the norm, so really letting all grab your video data is less of a problem.

Since the shape of video content downloads is heavily weighted towards newer releases, backing BT with HTTP seeds looks a lot more viable.
> I imagine that 100x Alan Dean Foster’s back royalties wouldn’t even be noticeable on Disney’s balance sheet.

Disney could be doing this at scale to many authors, this announcement by SFWA may bring a bunch of other complainants out of the woodwork.

The other aspect is that while what you say is certainly true of Disney as a whole, the amounts may be more meaningful for some subsidiary or division, (like, you know, their publishing arm) and the exec(s) that head it.
30 years ago, kids had hobbies, there's wasn't much to compete. Legos, collecting stamps/baseball cards, catching bugs, building models, photography, racing home build cars, sports, even things like just reading the encyclopedia, etc. Even libraries weren't that well stocked, I think I read every sci-fi book at my local library.

Now there's literally billions being spent on "free" games, "free video", "free" social sites, etc and trying every video, audio, vibration, trick in the book to make them more addicting. It's a trap, it encourages vanity, consumerism, poor body image, etc. I think the best thing you can do for kids these days is make sure they have a healthy amount of time offline.

PCalc has been my go to calculator for years and I didn't mind paying separately for iOS and MacOS. I use it mainly as a programmer calculator.

I also use Soulver which has reimagined the calculator interface...you can just use it as a quick calculator, or do more complex calculations when a spreadsheet is too heavyweight, and then go back and edit prior entries.

And of course on the Mac you can do calculations right in spotlight (cmd-space 5 + 4) which is pretty low friction.

I think it should be easier to make "mods" to existing codebases. I tried, once: https://github.com/liolaarc/monki (jeez, 5 years ago now.)

It's basically a git clone + a literate programming file that describes what changes to make to the code. It worked pretty well, though I often wonder whether it was just some silly idea.

So essentially, if you wanted to apply a fix to an open source codebase locally for your business, you could do that. It would be a clone, followed by a patch. (In this context, a "patch" is simply "here's the existing code I expect; here's the new code to replace it with." It works until that specific code changes at some point in the future.)

Excellent pro TS propaganda, and apologism for exploding complexity.

I love the idea of type checking, but the implementation of it seems buggy. tsc checkJS will make incorrect type inferences and throw errors about situations that won't happen, and it does this inconsistently, seemingly dependent on the syntax, for instance that a new promise's resolve function is possibly undefined.
> researchers discovered that several political advertisers were breaking Facebook's disclosure rules with impunity

Facebook disclosure rules need to be replaced by regulations enforced by inspectors. Self regulation has catastrophically failed, governments need to act.

That's because the identification with the Confederacy is culturally aligned with traditional rural southerners. They're not pro-slavery. They simply have ancestors that are buried with a Confederate gravestone. The Civil War was the deadliest war in U.S. history. It rocked the South for 100 years. The South was completely wrecked, economically, so much so that the Great Depression was almost status quo for southerners. In the same way that we realize that World War II was indirectly caused by excessive sanctions on Germany after World War I, which caused a lot of spite and misery, the South had to endure a similar situation in post-war America.

It was about slavery for the elites. It wasn't about slavery for the poor rural southerners who died in the war. If you're curious, here's an interview with a veteran of the Civil War recorded in 1947: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfqIa4dDxrw&t=21s

In my experience, when they're top tier math researchers they tend to be oblivious to the student's perspective, grasping the problem too well to give it detailed treatment. This is neither a failing of their enthusiasm nor a social tactic, but an imbalance in their abilities.

An old anecdote is the professor who was asked by a student how a certain problem is solved. The professor paused in thought for a moments, then gave the answer. The student asked again how to solve it, and the professor, again, thought for a while and gave the answer.

The student persisted: "but how is it done?" To which the professor gave a frustrated look and said, "I already solved it two different ways, what more do you want?"

> You don't typically need to examine 3rd party types, consuming them requires little cognitive effort because the IDE/typechecker will generally tell you everything you need to know at the consumption site.

Yes you do, you need to be able to read complex type signatures in order to know what a function or a method accepts, and for that you need to understand Typescript's type syntax, it what it is all about at first place. In case you have a compiler error you need to understand how the type system works to make sense of an error. You can't deny that simple fact, that's the whole point of typescript.

If you are using Tailwind then your designers need to be aware of its presets and be designing with them in mind.

When it comes to code reuse, either extract the button to a component that you reuse, or extract it to a class in tailwind.

.btn { @apply px-4 py-2 rounded }

Now you can just add the btn class and you’re done. If you ever want to change that button you can just update it and be done. If you want a button with different padding add btn px-8 and you’re done.

If you’re using components then you just create the button in a single place and reuse it. If you have custom requirements for the button then you override it.

It’s really quite simple and easy to do everything you’re describing. I’d read the docs and watch some videos on it and start working with it instead of against it.

Or don’t use it at all, makes no difference to me!

To me your argument is essentially saying because people have voted this way, that means it must be good. That is not really an argument or position other than that you don't care about the issue.

The big issue with the bay area is a huge mismatch with where housing is and where jobs (or offices and commercial activity, whatever) are. That is not something the "free market of cities" competing for people can solve like you think it can. Those jobs and people already exist, and the mismatch fundamentally makes things worse.
Yep. The time is upon us. My friends who aren't even big into games are getting quests because of super hot and beat saber. And Christmas is coming around soon.

(The project I have in mind at the moment is making a bindfs-like filesystem without FUSE, but I’ve had a few different ideas where eBPF seemed like it might have been a good fit if I could figure it out.)
Seemed to work fine for me... I'm now trying to install both versions of brew and spin up terminal sessions accordingly.

Are these 'good practices' for Arm Macs?:

1) When spinning up an iTerm session, figure out if it's 'Darwin x86_64' or 'Darwin arm64' - and configure paths accordingly. so they use the right brew binaries.

2) Easily double check what version of a running package/keg based on what arch is displayed in Activity Monitor.

3) That way, you can just use brew with Rosetta to start (which I did) then build up native arm Brew over time. and let the Rosetta brew fall away.

As has been noted elsewhere in this discussion, Disney didn't just buy LucasFilm's assets, they bought LucasFilm, in a straightforward stock swap.

That simply doesn't provide the opportunity you're describing.
LucasFilm wasn't left behind as an obligation riddled shell.

I'm pretty sure that if Disney could point to some legal entity other than themselves that was left saddled with the obligations, they would do so.

Perhaps they just haven't done so yet, so we'll see.

A better equivalent would be swapping out hard drives in a major storage system or servers in a data center on the scale of Google.
