"Just like it's better to understand how prototypal inheritance works in JS BEFORE even using a single class declaration. "

About that, does JS class inheritance now work like classes in java for example? Or is it still just syntactic sugar for the prototype inheritance? By your wording, I assume the later?
I think that an overly literal and precise reading of his pithy phrase misses the point.

Computers do exactly as we tell them to do, and we might also know what we'd like them to do but we usually don't know what we'd like about the result of what they do. Since the birth of computer science we've known that computers are mysterious in the sense that even though their operation is deterministic in a very natural sense, its outcome is not generally knowable; so deterministic but indeterminable. Dowek merely points out that this is not just a problem with computers but also the very point of them. If their operation's outcome were easily determinable, we wouldn't need it.
Something I realized is that I am not seeing Managers, Directors, and VPs moving.

Could be age / career related - VPs of big companies are usually experienced professionals, so they have strong(er) roots in the Bay Area, with kids in school.

But the number of management moving out is ZERO - at least anecdotally. Once we're allowed to go back to the office and they all go, how long until tech leads and architects also follow? Then "interns and junior employees should be at the office so it's easier to mentor", and then remote becomes something mid-level and seniors-who-plateaued or a CLM position. Which is fine, if you know the tradeoffs...

If it's the right of an artist to be allowed to sell their IP to a corporation (which doesn't 'die' in the biological sense), then there needs to be a disconnect between the author/IP holder's health and the duration for which copyright should be given. Personally, I'm in favor of a fixed copyright duration after creation. I would prefer a requirement to offer 'fair' terms, if such a thing could be determined (probably not possible).
We need something like Privacy.com for Europe (and other countries too). If Privacy won't support Europe in the future, then there is a huge market gap not being filled for potential EU customers. I know I would love something like this to manage my spending and I love the way you can create your own 'window' of time on the card to prevent unexpected charges on the card (as many cards are kept 'on file' and I often forget that lol)

I didn't follow what was wrong with his Option 2 solution. A hybrid approach between that and Option 3, where you define a "base class" like he does in Option 3, but don't use it directly in the HTML, instead use @extend or @mixin to reuse it for the semantic classes that are styled similarly seems like the best of both worlds. A core "style library" like CSS, but you apply to semantic chunks in CSS instead of in the HTML.

I don't think most people leaving the bay area are headed to some remote cabin in Montana or some sleepy town in the midwest - they're just moving to cheaper (comparatively) cities. Anyone pulling up roots with a bay area salary or a home in CA is going to have a huge cash advantage against anyone in the local market just about wherever they move.

On a personal note, it's been tons of fun competing with the multiple bids, sight unseen, over asking on 600-700k+ century old homes in need of another 100k worth of rehab.
There is a place where you can have seasons, yet they are mild. And there is a reasonable cost of living, if you so choose.

Apple: WTF: MacbookPro 2019: Control Strip
Over Covid my employer sent me a Macbook Pro 2019 because my old macbook died. Nice; that cost them a pretty penny. My other option was a Thinkpad but it ran Windows.

But ... but ... this 2019 Macbook has %^#$#@ GD ^&&^$%@#@# piece of ^&%^#$ control strip.

Almost every time my fingers move too close to the strip the software "HELPS me" by changing desktops, applications, and all other manner of complete BS. I have yet to find how I can disable it from having a context sensitive menu.

This is what I think stands up the FSF, FOSS, and some of the push back on Ubuntu's new package manager. If the supplier wants to innovate their way - more power to them. But provide an opt out option for God sakes. The enlightened Nanny state is something that at least for me, is wholly intolerable.

Apple has a lot of overpaid, and under utilized programmers apparently: they've wormed themselves into every possible interaction in all permutations of all power sets of all keyboard, mouse, track pad scenarios so that if you blink wrong it runs Reddit for you. Fuck that.

After I wrote about this, and got that off my mind, I think I fixed it. But geez it wasn't obvious. So Apple, it wasn't so onerous. I guess I have some responsibility here too.
He chose to move where he did because he was raised there and moved back to take care of his ailing mother.
Come on: there’s a beautiful A/B test you can consult: in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, Boston’s route 128 was the “Silicon Valley” of its time. The US poured even more money into it than they did the Bay Area. Yet which grew and which stagnated?
One thing to note here that's a bit ambiguous in your comment - an M1XX with 128 GPU cores would still have substantially fewer GPU cores than the 2x Radeon Vega II Duo.

The Radeon Vega II Due has 128 compute cores and 8192 stream processors, so that maxed out mac pro would have 256 compute cores and 16384 stream processors. I don't have any benchmarks to work off of, but I think it's safe to say that a new Mac Pro with the 32-core SoC would still be substantially far behind a current Mac Pro unless it also had a dedicated GPU.
Yeah in essence they are not well known because they haven't adapted to the times

They block any video with a sample of their song on YT even if they would have made money from it

This is not a good argument. There are plenty of advantages to cooking on electric induction stoves and most people can adjust their preferences to use a new and improved tool. Rapid temperature control, even heat distribution, with a bonus of being better for the environment (assuming renewable energy is used).
You likely have to replace none of your cookware.

Most common cookware works with induction. Even copper/aluminum core has no problem, and most stainless steel. The stuff that doesn't work is quite niche (pure aluminum/pure copper, and some high-end stainless steel).
It's quite amusing when I see 2-3 seconds being declared "ultra low latency" on the distribution side

In broadcast contribution, where you have someone in the studio talking to a person on the screen, anything over a second brings complaints. Typically aim for under 500ms of processing delay for low bitrate contributions, and at 25fps with a bog standard blackmagic card going SDI-IP-SDI, and add in timing, you're looking at 500ms of your budget eaten by the hardware framebuffer. OBE do a better capture card - one which allows access to the data on a line by line basis. If you go for something more hardware based and say a J2K codec you can get your latency down to a couple of frames.

I had a problem a few years ago with lives from Kiev -- the ISP we had kept dropping our packets for 125ms at a time. Didn't matter if we sent 20mbit (so 2000 packets per second) or 2mbit (200pps), the number lost in a row matched the 125ms outage.

Network people laugh when I complain about 125ms outages on the internet, but it meant that standard FEC wouldn't work (maximum of 20 burst packets, even if it recovered every lost packet that would mean errors above a transport stream rate fo 1.6mbit.

Now you can use RIST to dial in resends, but with a 100ms rtt you're looking at needing 300-500ms of buffer to cope with that type of outage (to realise the packets are missing and not just delayed (say 50ms), to ask for the retransmit (50ms), and to get them (50ms, then smear them over time as you can't do an instant retransmit)

Alternatively you can transmit twice and offset, but that still adds 150ms of delay.
This is really the nail in the coffin for Linux-native game ports. It's really, really hard to justify expending the effort
Everybody’s talking about cooking. What about heat? Parts of California get COLD. A therm (100,000 BTUs, roughly 29.3 kW-H) is $0.36 according to SoCal Gas. The equivalent in resistance heat would be roughly $5.80 @ $0.20/kW-H (being generous here, my electric rate was much higher in Los Angeles). A heat pump (reverse air conditioner) can double or triple your electric heating efficiency, but only works when it’s relatively warm outside (> ~30F / 0C) and you’re still looking at $2+ for the equivalent heat energy. So you’d more than QUADRUPLE heating bills. Not gonna happen.
I don't think their OS would be popular in the server space. But you could run Linux on their chips - if they decided to support that.
Every team I've been on since 2015 has been distributed, even when my job is "onsite". Sometimes we're in multiple offices, or we have people in the office & people working from home, but the net effect is almost no one can count on going to an office and only working w/ people in the same physical office. We're all largely working remotely anyway, but we're just not being honest about it.

Still, I am sure Zurich wouldn't even come close to the number of opportunities one get in SV.

My LinkedIn account is always flooded by recruiters. That gives engineers leverage to seek new and better opportunities all the time.

Plus networking is also a big one.

Unless you get a job at Google/Oracle and planning on retiring there, SV wins hands down.

The language barrier is also a no go along with cost of living.
Yes, this is the big problem. Indie games usually run just fine in wine and don't do anything too advanced and just work out of the box; your biggest problem is probably going to be them installing stuff into weird places or directly onto C:\gamename.

The rootkit, driver signing enforcement, driver ACLing of anything it doesn't like, vulnerable drivers, all forms of emulation detection, failing any of those = permanent ban is a whole other problem.
My friends who don't want to leave SV are mostly singles and couples without kids who don't mind living in apartments for rest of their lives. They move to a new apartment/condo every 2-3 years and don't care about schools, community, public transport etc. Another set of friends were lucky enough to be able to purchase million and half dollar homes in Fremont/South San Jose/Milpitas/Campbell and now that they have friends and their kids have friends, they are "settled" and don't mind paying ridiculous mortgage for next 20ish years. They do complaint about having to wfh home from their garage since all rooms in their home are occupied with kids at home. My friends in SFBA who claim that there are many jobs opportunities in tech companies have not changed their jobs in ~5 years.
He was probably struck by the appeal of an environmental proposal combined with a (casual?) interest in cryptocoins. Without really understanding how they work, it would be easy to get sucked in.
I felt the same about reading poetry when in school. None of it ever clicked with me and for exams ("Explain why this poem is great") I would just regurgitate various points teachers and books had told me about the poems. I didn't typically agree with any of it, and didn't care about it either.

Regarding art, I never studied it but I have two books. One is a collection of photos taken by Francesca Woodman, and another is on about Art Brut. I quite like the philosophy behind Art Brut and had never heard of it before buying the book. Something clicked.
Return it and get something more usable. Your company will probably just give it to another employee in need of a laptop, but at least you won't have to deal with it.
Planetary Scale Rust and Golang by Embedding WebAssembly in Elixir
It's not that the schools are shit. They all have issues. Some get much better funding than others - clearly, but they're all leagues better than what you'd get in many rural parts of America.

The issue is that the kids going to the "poor" schools are poor. Their home life is shit because they're frequently sharing a two bedroom apartment with another family. They're dealing with parents who are unable to afford a better housing situation (not just renting a house - but they can't even afford to rent a place without another family being in it - lots of multigenerational housing happening too, which has pro/con) and who frequently have to work much more than some dual income FAANG tech couple - and they have a much worse quality of life. The parents aren't very involved because they just have other priorities.

This leads to the kids randomly dropping out middle of the year. Every year, the kids I know who went to Santa Clara schools ended up with their class sizes shrinking throughout the year because kids would just disappear middle of the year. That has the pros of less kids per classroom as the schoolyear goes on but it has downsides like... well, you can't make any long term friendships! On top of that, if you are in a family that is doing well - you're gonna be unrelatable to the other kids. And it goes true with the parents too.

One of the reasons my friends have put their kids in private schools is because their kids are around people like themselves, the parents operate under a collective agreement (they are all too involved in their parenting style), and there's just a commonality in background. At the public school, kids of all backgrounds could be interfacing and it just didn't give much social cohesion. Everyone had different goals. Some kids/parents wanted to just get to the next grade along with some babysitting - others wanted much more. Public school mostly is for handling the first people.
You're not wrong that many people do seem to prefer the petty crime to tech.

But you seem to be condoning that preference, and that preference is ridiculous. An economic boom should not be a bad thing. And tech is not raising rents, it is raising housing demand which could easily be met with a corresponding rise in supply that would limit the price increases, but new housing has been being actively blocked for decades.

You also leave out an important factor, most of the city that is supporting the policies that enable petty crime here have no skin in the game. They live in nice neighborhoods where they've owned their houses for decades making them massively wealthy and don't have to interact with the undesirables. It's easy to look the other way and ignore the downtown problems of homelessness and street crime, and to be so woke that you don't want any crime prosecuted, when it doesn't affect you.
Good job! But I think I will loiter in the old bridge and new rooms on the Matrix side until the history is migrated. After that...yay!
Oh no! It's already out of date! (That's a JS changes too fast joke)

But seriously, calling it 'modern' is pointless. It's not adding anything valuable and its just going to become out of date (and thus wrong).
You can, but you can't (currently?) do =A1(x) where A1 is a LAMBDA function. I think LAMBDA(...)(x) is only useful for testing/development, but maybe I'm missing some good use cases.
This doesn’t strike me as a benefit. Soon you’ll have a multitude of apps and libraries instead of one framework to maintain, upgrade, refactor etc. The same goes for the idea of micro front ends being a collection of apps all in different frameworks. As a architect/cto I wouldn’t want to have so much “diversity” in that sense in my organisation. It reduces efficiency in knowledge sharing, tooling, architecture etc.
> Should I have a shared tailwind.config.js?

Yes.

> If I have to add node_modules/my-library to the purge directories

I believe the point of Tailwind is that you don't have these outer libraries anymore. If you need a piece of UI implemented, you copy/paste the markup with the required classes added. There is no `modal` class that completely modifies specific nested HTML. And if it's a complete palette/padding change, then that happens in the config.

> ...how do I prevent the same m-1 to have two different values, one from the shared component library and another from my own application?

`m-1` should never have different values in different contexts of the same project, unless the set of classes suffixed by `-1` is adjusted as a whole (ie- letting users resize the UI outside of the built-in browser magnification).

> how you would use the "purgecss" feature in a large project

Purge should happen in deployment, not in development. That way if a class is added that has never been used before, it makes it into the site without issue.
Come one. This "pitch" is heavily contextualized. Interpreting it as "all best practices are bad" is not very charitable.
Lots of places contributed to WWII research initiatives. Why not Chicago, where the first nuclear reactor was built? Or Boston, with MIT whose research labs churned out fire control systems and computers? Or Los Angeles, with its defense powerhouses and UCLA/Cal-Tech? Or Detroit? Or anywhere else in the US with given the wartime mobilization?

Because Shockley moved here. Fairchild was founded here, and the Fairchildren built Silicon Valley and its venture capitalism.
Unity actually exports Linux binaries so most developers could do Linux natively.

The irony is it's the 'fuck off we're full' people that have made CA policy shitty.

It's the NIMBY anti-change response to policy.

The people that want a strong economy, incentivize building housing, and adapting lead to positive non-zero-sum outcomes.

The people that say "fuck off we're full" block any policy and create perverse incentives that create a dysfunctional mess.

This is ignoring the selection bias that the people leaving now are probably also the people not interested in CA anti-housing, high-tax policy and would likely be a better fit on these policy issues in Austin than the commenter thinks.

Largely I think comments like the one you replied to are just responding to what they see as the enemy tribe in the political culture war.

Yes, they pretty much invented (or least multiplied 100 fold) the Pop Rock genre. When they played, it was new, novel and interesting. If you had listened to them in the 50s, you would have been astounded by the completely new sound.

Now, pop rock might be the most popular genre in existence across the world. So doesn't sound that great.
I have an anti-cheat startup, and Linux support is a big priority for us. The segmentation problem on Linux is a real challenge for us. It’s likely we will only ever be able to support the big distros, and we also are exploring using TPM remote attestation. Both of these things take away user freedom to tinker with their systems, an ability Linux enthusiasts enjoy. But with this freedom implicitly comes with the freedom to cheat in online video games. I’m happy to hear thoughts on this.
Ordinary electric stoves are slow. I came from resistive heat to gas, and gas is way, way, way better in every way.

Induction cooktops largely fix this, though.
Yep, I recently got a call from a FB recruiter in Austin. One constraint was: are you willing to move to the Bay Area to work at the FB campus after lockdown ends? Why yes, I already live here.
Well I'd also wonder what he'd need to retain ownership for. For some people that's important, but others it's not, especially if they trust the new stewards.
Absolutely right, the use of the name manager makes this much less usable. Instead of being able to copy lambdas from cells, you now also have to set their name manually.

If only 50% of tickets are defaulting, there is something very very wrong with that lottery. This is more like a bond that pays a 100x return but has a 99.9% default rate.

This is not a climate change issue. This is about PG&E not able to maintain their lines, and the deterioration due to government ineptitude causing exclusions. Natural gas is not the problem, it’s a very affordable solution for those of you who don’t live in the bubble of Silicon Valley. California just doesn’t want another house to explode. It’s like banning Rail travel because you can’t fix the railroads.
