> So, there you have it. My reason to argue for a "pure" HTML structure is not just out of some idealist out-of-touch mentality.

No, but it's based on a use-case that is very specific and considering that it's a relative uncommon one, I don't see the point of trotting it out. Okay, so in this particular situation maybe something like Tailwind isn't ideal. Nobody is arguing that it is.

> Honest question: would you pay for funding this? I think this haven't come to be is because it's much easier to sell a "turn-key" system than something that is flexible enough to get other developers to say "I could've done that as well."

Sure. I mean, I'm close to paying for Tailwind UI, so paying for good stuff is definitely something I'm willing to do.

But I think what you propose doesn't exist not for lack of payment, but because it's just not that easy to do. In lieu of perfection, stuff like Tailwind can be a pretty good improvement over other things. No need to whine about it or compare it to some hypothetical ideal that you deem good enough for your edge-case needs.
Rather than just downvoting me for an informed opinion, reply and let me know why you disagree. So far the evidence (sales, years on market) is on my side.

I have to pay extra tax for my hybrid it’s sucks because the battery is old and my fuel efficiency is way down like a regular car so yeah I feel picked in for having the the car hey upvote this because it’s true you I never post but this means something to me guys
It pays to consider that Roblox has been around for more than a decade. Afaik they exploded 2-3 years ago, but they had a lot of time to get there. Over that timeframe, it’s relatively easy to build up a decent library. Some of their game-modes are effectively prebuilt, like the “obby” which is just a linear platformer.
Fascinating,

Would this give any insight into what type of cement/stone laying tile pattern should be use to mitigate future cracks?
What's the cost of mining lithium for starters.. before talking about fair.

That is the real problem. We need to properly price in the negative externality. However, that would mean that driving (and even more so flying) becomes almost prohibitively expensive for many. We already saw with the yellow jackets in France that this would lead to unrest.
The problem with all these taxes is one of 'pain' and political cost.

If fuel taxes and, say, VAT, were abolished and personal income tax adjusted to make up the revenue that would create a political shitstorm and public outrage even if people end up paying exactly the same amount per year.

Governments like relatively "stealthy" taxes. At the same time people want public spending so it's a political game of giving people what they ask for without making them feel too much that they need to pay for it...
You could tax electricity at public EV charging stations. That would have the same desirable distribution properties as the existing gas tax.
I find your summary to be concise and reasonable, to the degree I follow the article. I'd not heard of Unger before, but think he's brilliant. I found the reading to be a bit of a wade. For that, I'll fault my own lack of background in addition to recognizing that he is a lawyer :)

Where (books, etc) would you recommend starting with Unger? Where did you start? What prompted it?
The sci-fi novel "Mind Painter" explores this in depth - good, scary stuff!
Right.

At several places I worked (and others for which I asked in job interviews), the general amount which companies get away with (and employees find bearable) seems to be <= 5 weeks of on-call per employee and year.

And obviously you're being paid to be on standby, and then paid for your overtime should an incident occur.
I think the important thing to say is that there are already APIs which are SwiftUI only. This trend will definitely continue and in (near) future you won't have much choice.

While SwiftUI definitely lacks some finer customization of default elements (like the mentioned hairlines in the List/Form view), you can re-implement any UIKit view yourself in the end.

Lazy loading is perfectly doable, I think the author could have shown an example on how to do the carousel properly with a full example of the UIKit code.
I've used both. Wish often has free shipping but slightly higher prices (or free product with higher shipping), but occasionally will still be cheaper than AliExpress.
Have you tried running Debian unstable (Sid)? If not, I'd suggest you try it before advocating that it's comparable to running Arch.

I think the parent comment was silly, but let's not pretend that Sid is a meant to be used as a daily driver.
Even if you know the broad strokes, asking the average developer to implement most data structures will be a disaster. I'm reminded of the fact that most binary search algorithms are badly broken:

> When Jon Bentley assigned binary search as a problem in a course for professional programmers, he found that ninety percent failed to provide a correct solution after several hours of working on it, mainly because the incorrect implementations failed to run or returned a wrong answer in rare edge cases. A study published in 1988 shows that accurate code for it is only found in five out of twenty textbooks. Furthermore, Bentley's own implementation of binary search, published in his 1986 book Programming Pearls, contained an overflow error that remained undetected for over twenty years. The Java programming language library implementation of binary search had the same overflow bug for more than nine years.

Knuth had this to say:

> Although the basic idea of binary search is comparatively straightforward, the details can be surprisingly tricky

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm#Implem...

If the experts can't get it right, no developer in an interview setting has a chance. It's a game of "gotcha." The interviewer has some trick that they are privy to and are waiting for the interviewee to mess up and... GOTCHA! You got it wrong, it's this clever trick that you would have to know ahead of time! Silly person thinking they can get a job here without knowing the secret handshake.
I read through it until you tried to say that Donald Trump is staging coup. This just isn't true. He's using every legal option available to him to investigate oddities in an election. This is the way things should be done.

What's unbelievable is that there are countless examples of first-hand accounts of voter fraud and Democrats don't want it investigated and are outright attacking anyone for even suggesting it.

Governor Whitmer, for example, publicly stated that the two people that didn't want to certify the election were racist for doing so. This was after they were attacked, doxxed, and shamed for only wanting an investigation into the many allegations we have been seeing since election day. Does this sound like Democracy? It sounds like mob tactics to me.

If there is no investigation, then the Democrats staged a coup and it proves all along that most people on the left don't care about justice or fairness, they only care about being right and getting power.

Trump may very well have lost, but I want to ensure the future integrity of our elections.
I'd prefer the term Engineer... I'm not sure why the best engineers need a separate job description!
I'm a fan of both operating systems, but I have had a much more pleasant having updated versions of packages by default in Arch than by heading over to testing or unstable on Debian - in other words, the newer packages on Arch felt far more robust than the unstable packages on Debian. This leaves aside the fact that stable Debian was far more stable than Arch for me.
I haven't had success with no meeting days because it just leads to cramming more meetings into the other days that week.

I suspect this would be less of a problem with a no meeting week.

I wonder though how broad it needs to be to work — can a single team do this successfully, or does it need to be coordinated across an entire organization?
> One of the points of database views, which are much older than REST, is to abstract away your internal data structures behind facades that make sense for the clients.

It makes sense to put all the logic into DB views and ditch the domain models. Forget unit tests and functional tests against company's business logic - those are pretty obsolete concepts. We don't need robust software, we need quick and dirty ducktaped APIs. Who needs data validation?
You know what else will lead to unrest? Unmitigated climate change.
We need to drastically reduce driving. Making it more expensive is just one of the measures to take here. We also need to alternatives easier to use. Better city planning and better infrastructure need to go hand in hand with price signals.
Hah, I got detention for a week for doing something fairly similar (booting Linux off external media). School's position was that if they couldn't spy on your computer usage you must be doing something bad.
Probably because they transport 1,400x more economic goods?
I haven’t used postgREST, but the user/group authorization model looks fantastic at a glance.
I think it's a useful way to keep in mind that algorithmic complexity isn't everything in the real world, which also applies to today.

When would bubble sort be ideal? When it's relatively cheap to read data sequentially compared to backwards or randomly, and resetting to the initial read position isn't too costly.

Now I've nerd sniped myself, and am brainstorming how that situation might arise with modern systems...
In the real world, diesels should be taken off the road as quickly as possible due to the impracticality of controlling particulate emissions and the damage to human health caused by those emissions.

Also, euro 6 emission standards are for diesel passenger cars. Diesel cars, even with strict emission controls, still emit too much dangerous particulates.
This is especially true at scale, even just small/medium scale (e.g. 10M records updated daily). There are dozens of services for one of the core things our business needs that are easy to use, but either a) they don't scale, or b) they do scale but at an exorbitant cost.

So we've built and maintained our own system with our own hardware, in a datacenter in LA with our own dedicated 10Gb Cogent connection. As a result, we're literally 1/10 to 1/20th of the monthly cost, and it only took takes two (old) Dell 720s to run and less than $10K in total capital (network gear, etc). (We would have spent 5x that in just one month using a 3rd party service, so the "capital" was paid back almost instantly.)

Many such cases.
So you're the next one in line to learn that what they say is true: money doesn't buy happiness. The sweet things in life are all the things you sacrificed in the process of re-making yourself in the image of the machine you built and are part of. Get the fuck out of the bay area and start over as an artist and mystic, or just hang out with some. Find a wife among ordinary people and make babies like some blissful idiot. Learn a musical instrument. I dunno. Do things hippies say to do. The purpose of life seems to be life itself, so you would at least be making more lives, or making existing ones more pleasant. Care about others intrinsically for no reason, and most will care about you. That's all anybody wants, is to be cared for and loved. Thus far you only cared about accumulating money (or that's the only care you acted on) and anyone who cares about you probably cares only because of that, even if only as an example so they can learn how to accumulate money too. It's what you've been about, thus far, and have dedicated your life to, thus far. Congratulations on being an expert in something but now you should be a beginner.
Some of this burden can be offloaded to robots though, via static types, unit tests, linting, and automatic code formatting. I even go so far as to envision my unit tests as a squad of soldiers laying in ambush around my use cases, waiting to pounce on transgressors.
What's the cost of oil spills? It's not like gas and diesel magically flow out of the pump either.
What does any of that matter if it doesn't lead to technical superiority? You use an OS for its technical qualities, not for its charter.
Can anything of that be substantiated though, or is it just FUD (Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt)?
Is there an admin UI for postgrest, along the lines of ActiveAdmin?

That would be game breaking for me, lot of software can be skipped with such a thing
I mean - whatever you can imagine? We’ve played chess, worked on learning languages, picked up musical instruments, learned to ski, learned to hunt mushrooms, electronics projects, woodworking projects... sure sometimes you have to keep it at an age-appropriate level, but there are things I want to learn and if I include them then they benefit and grow as well. My kids are now at an age too where they are starting to pick things up on their own and then they can teach me.
Probably a lot of Tesla owners on here upset at the thought of losing any of the privilege it brings.

Full EVs do more damage to the road than ICE vehicles since they’re a lot heavier. I’m totally pro-EV, but we should definitely pay some part of the tax necessary to maintain the roads we drive on.

Some quick searches show:

Mazda MX-5 Miata MY2020 base curb weight: 2403lbs

Toyota Prius MY2020 base curb weight: 3010lbs

Tesla model 3 base curb weight: 4072lbs
For me, I had 2 external monitors at the office vs 1 at home.

Snacks, fruits, beverages, espresso machine at work vs buy and prepare what I want at home (which has a cost, and demands time)

Ironically also, office was quieter. I can always hear (and feel) the upstairs neighbour walking around, even with noise cancelling headphones. The little noise at the office was way easier to ignore.

And using the bathroom at home, means I have to clean the bathroom more often.
I was making an argument against taxing EVs. Or I tried to.
The thread is about duplication of products within a company's ecosystem, what I'm not understanding is why drawing a comparison between Slack and iMessage having some duplication is relevant.

This is amazing. (I wish the author could have seen figlet and aalib!)
This is one of my all time favourite pieces. Whenever it comes up, I am also reminded of another piece which recounts what happened to the Native American populations and politics as if it were an invasion by space aliens following a plague that wiped out 95% of the population, can't find it at the moment but will keep looking.

"A bad system will beat a good person every time" as Deming said.
It's probably because these companies have so many good applicants, and they're big enough that a "great" junior engineer can't do much more vs a "good" one. So they're not looking for top engineers, they're filtering out bad ones and then basically choosing at random.

Unfortunately, if there are many more potential employees then you're going to be a beggar no matter what. If you're applying to companies who only get a few applicants per position, then you have leverage and the companies actually have to look for quality.
Nothing positive to say about the immigrants and nothing negative about the Indians. Why can't people stop distorting history to fit their own biases? It's no better than the textbooks he complains about doing the opposite. Two wrongs don't make a right.
I think UIActivityIndicatorView is just:

good friend of mine is a nurse. She has seen people in the ER with Covid deny that it exists too. There's people currently on oxygen who go "nah that doesn't exist I don't have it, the media made that up". So yeah

That sounds like a solution that wouldn't ever get traction in the US with the love of stupidly large trucks and SUVs.
This is exactly right. However, Trump has been harming his case dramatically by making hyperinflated claims to the public in the process, claims that are extremely unlikely to be true, and could undermine the very trust the court cases could produce.
It is including heavy vehicles, but also motorcycles. The average for "passenger vehicles" is still about 10.5 l/km. Just bigger cars I think.

The claim that it is the most secure in history is very trumpian in nature. There were a lot unique challenges this year that impacted the integrity of the election. I don't see why he couldn't have made the weaker claim that there is no evidence that electoral fraud changed the result.
Taxing mileage (and gas) also has the unfortunate property of being generally regressive. Roads benefit us all, but those who drive the furthest are often the poorest who live far from city centers.

In my (admittedly uneducated) opinion, road taxes should be overwhelmingly be paid by commercial vehicles since they contribute much more to road damage, their costs will be passed on to consumers, and the largest consumers are the wealthy. Mileage might make the most sense for that type of tax, and I think wouldn’t unfairly burden the poor. Maybe multiplied by the value of the cargo?
There are sworn affidavits to that effect, as well as the documented 100% Biden vote batches (with no down-ballot votes) after the "pause" to determine how many were needed.

In any other context the US State Department would be bemoaning "irregularities" and threatening sanctions.
My workflow works great for me, I have no trouble finding tabs. I have multiple windows, tab groups, and extensions like TabSorter, The Great Suspender, Alfred Tab Search, and others to manage my tabs as a queue of things I want to read / get back to. I use Pocket as well, but that's for my queue of things I've already read that I want to archive, not things I want to read in the future.

I process a high volume of tabs but I keep it super organized, just like my filesystem and email.
No, because road damage is proportional to axle weight to the fourth power.
This approach makes sense, but with Australia, EV sales are not close to 2% and are still 0.6% [0], and they are still really expensive upfront to buy.

Also in Australia, the fuel tax isn’t isolated for use only for roads, it is a federal tax that can be (and has been), used for other more general expenses.

In a time of “money printer goes brrr” and tax cuts disproportionately benefiting the wealthy, nickel and diming things like EVs keeping their cost higher makes little sense. I like cleaner city air for everyone, reduced CO2 etc, adding this tax will make EV choice a lot harder as you’ll be hit with a tax larger than your fuel bill total, especially if you charge off your own solar and for people who buy a second hand EV just to drive around town. A 2.5c per km is equivalent to doubling the cost of a lot of EVs, example 2015 Nissan Leaf 24kWh does ~100km on a full charge of say 20 kWh, at 15c per kWh you are looking at $3 fuel and $2.5 tax. 15c is low but with combo of solar (which is very common in Australia) or off peak this is pretty reasonable. What isn’t reasonable is that level of tax for something that has more general benefits for trying to generate such a small total of revenue at such an early stage of sales. There are so many other ways this tax could be generated in relation to cars that would encourage uptake of these cars while still reducing impact on lower/middle income earners, I think this is a very poorly thought out tax.

> Which is, you'll notice, the same best practice used for decades by DBAs who need to serve multiple applications connecting to the same database.

Clearly, the Database's job contrary to what the name suggests is to not only stick data into it but also a bunch of business logic that's essentially untestable. No one needs domain models when you've got database tightly coupled with behavior and logic of your business.

What could go wrong?

The whole point of the API is that it is a repository for accessing the data from one or more databases, and packaging it up for the user to consume. It imports domain models which are totally isolated from the rest of the dependencies. The data doesn't even have to be in the database and can come from multiple sources such as S3 or whatever. It can consume data from the user and kick off various processes or insert into the database. It is a generic interface that does more than just CRUD in the DB.
I was being slightly facetious in referencing tyre size, although people regularly have to adjust speedo/odometers by 10% or more when fitting large tyres on off-roaders.

Odometers can have their values changed at will, at least in ICE vehicles, often for valid reasons.

Econ 101 supply-demand models have some assumptions (like a competitive marketplace) that don't really apply in your examples. It works great for fungible product like toilet paper, not so great when there's only one provider of an item.
When it comes to money, that is a rather important 'detail'. Especially given the fact that the most prevalent form of theft is wage theft: https://www.gq.com/story/wage-theft
Unfortunately that’s not idiomatic in many common JS/TS scenarios, and requires deep familiarity with the internals of any APIs or third party libraries that throw errors. Optional typed exceptions would be right in line with the TS approach of modeling real world JS usage, but for the syntactical question of exhaustive error handling. (Of course that could be addressed separately or not at all.)
Yes, I think this is the best way to do it. It may also make sense to tax residential power to fund roads, since many electric car owners will primarily be charging at home. Perhaps this electricity tax could be limited to people who are registered as owning electric cars. That would follow the same principle of applying the tax where the fueling/charging is performed.
Trump has every right to ask for a recount, and as far as I know, nothing is final until all votes have been counted and it's decided that there was no fraud.

Have you contacted them?

I checked their German page and after selecting paypal there's a 'no address' option.

I'm sure they will work with you on alternative payment options, e.g. simply give you their paypal email address. They accept checks in mail, maybe they also accept cash in mail. https://donate.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ways_to_Give
