"What is the current use-case for jQuery? I'm curious from hearing it's current users answer this."

I still see it used for file upload/download, as the fetch api doesn't provide a reasonable way to show progress if the channel is using gzip or deflate. The ajax functionality is also still popular for a compact way to deal with different types of errors (app errors vs connectivity errors).
I agree, although the toilet paper situation was a bit different IMO because the shortage wasn't in the supply chain -- it was absolutely clear that inventories would restock sooner or later. In that situation, higher prices wouldn't have incentivized more production.

Still, supermarkets could have temporarily raised prices 10x and still sold their inventory. Why didn't more of them do it? Presumably, they made the rational calculation that the bad reputation they'd get from such a move would outweigh any short-term profits.
You don't have to use all of it though, right? You can choose to only only use the applicable parts:
eg:

```
$('.container-element')
.addClass('active');

// vs

document.querySelectorAll('.my-class-selector')
.classList.add('active')
```

I use the native APIs all the time, they are not that complicated or overly verbose. Easily memorized with practice IMHO. Also they are all extremely well documented on MDN.
One could also save document.querySelector to $ as a constant.

For me, the biggest issue I have is book ratings on Amazon.

Besides companies - and small time authors - paying for good ratings, you have a similar amount of people that genuinely bought the book, giving 1 start ratings because of whatever quality of the book manufacture, be it physical or digital.

One of these two alone would not be difficult to manage, but having to deal the two makes it almost unbearable to find out the proper rating. We should start giving ratings ratings.
A lot of them are probably due to Bootstrap (<5.0) bundling it.
Conversely, looking at how you do it through jQuery after seeing how it is in Javascript gives me the same reaction.

The fact that jQuery is usually assigned to the dollar sign definitely doesn't help, especially for beginners. The amount of questions I've answered that stemmed from a fundamental misunderstanding of how Javascript works, all because they learned jQuery instead of Javascript, is pretty significant.

I mean, let's be serious here. In theory, blockchain could allow us to build a good online payment system -- and that is a problem worth solving.

But in practice, Bitcoin in particular is completely awful as an online payment system, and I don't understand how people can reasonably claim otherwise. If the goal of Bitcoin was actually to make online payments easier, we would be using a different coin other than Bitcoin. The community would have moved on to any of the far better alternatives.

The fact that Bitcoin is still the predominant coin proves that the technology and the convenience of online payment processing is not the end goal for most people getting into cryptocurrency.

I like money and $450 is a nice amount (hey, free PlayStation). But my employer doesn’t allow outside payments so I couldn’t accept.

And while I like money, I fee a duty to review a few papers a year, even if they are not good, or boring, or whatever. If I was being paid, I would be more likely to skip those papers because I no longer feel a duty.

This may be a similar motivation described in an experiment that showed how late pickups went up when the daycare introduced late fees. [0]

I think that many in academia are underpaid and should have more money. I just think that adding review fees are not the way.

I agree that subsidies perturb the free market, but in this case to the side of increasing supply. (You can model it as the supply curve being shifted downward by the amount of the government subsidy.)
I went to a summer program at the US Air Force Academy and took a short class using Ada with Lego mindstorm robots. Having never done any programming at the time beyond BASIC (thanks to QBASIC and my TI-83+ calculator), I really enjoyed learning Ada. The instructor talked about the safety aspect of Ada which went over my head at the time :)

I have done a lot of embedded programming in C over the years and while the reality is most embedded programmers know C best, I am starting to think we would be better served to try a new language with better features such as Ada or Rust. C++ is nice as well, but has it's own set of problems when used for embedded programming.
Yup, reading that comment all I thought was exactly what I said in another comment here, it'll work great until it doesn't, and by then you'll suffer a lot to work around it

Same with scaling, scaling ES is super easy until you realize your index sizes aren't playing nicely with sharding or something and have to start working around that.

Clickhole feels like it's targeting what most people end up using ES for. Comparing it to ES and talking about what's missing is kind of missing the point imo.

Subsidies are different from price ceilings; subsidies often spur over-production along with over-consumption (think HFCS), whereas price ceilings discourage production and encourage hoarding (arguably a form of over-consumption). Price ceilings also foster a domestic black market, whereas subsidies foster an export black market.
An authority telling people what to think? That sounds an awful lot like religion. I think we need to make up our mind which we want: education to make actually sure people understand science, or to go back to the ways of religion. It’s clear that the middle ground is not working.
I do think in some cases SPA make sense, but in many other cases just using a bit of jQuery/vanilla js to add a bit of interaction is enough. Server side rendering is way easier to do and is often faster to load for the client.

I think this is part of the nuance: we've gotten ourselves into such a bind with housing in so many places that it feels like we need the short term, crisis relief that rent control provides. For some people, it absolutely means not being kicked out into the streets. Go tell that mom and her kids about 'the market'. Yet at the same time, markets, supply and demand are real, and we need to bring them back into balance by at the very least not artificially constraining housing supply in so many places.

It's a tricky problem.
I think that quote refers to American style of rent control that is tied to the tenant, as opposed to the German style that is tied to the building.

Actually, there are two alleged instances of piracy.

First, in Feb 2020, their game was slated to be listed on a distribution platform that was not agreed upon.

(In August 2020, they removed their game from Steam.)

Second, in Feb 2021 (just last week!), the deluxe version of their game was listed on Steam with identifying watermarks, copyright, digital signing, and more removed _from the software_.
> Coffeescript in particular, are good historical references to what will happen to TS in a few years.

The thing is that many good ideas of Coffee ended up being integrated in newer versions of JS, so of course the need for it decreased; one could argue that Coffee's legacy lives in ES201x.

But there are no types in JS, and none planned.

I remember when I was in uni that the $() must've had a special meaning or something. I was pretty convinced that the $ was some tough mathematical operator or computer science concept that I didn't yet understand.

When I learned that it was simply a function invocation that returned a jQuery object so you could chain it, I was absolutely shocked about the simplicity of that statement.

Beginning developers sure like to project their cognitive insecurities onto programming. Or at least, I did :)
A hacker that was able to hijack the mining pool just for malicious reasons could do it. Maybe they are motivated by not liking Bitcoin energy use.

The better argument here is that 98% of cryptocurrencies are very cheap to 51% attack, and they are attacked successfully. One would expect these to be exploited aggressively before a successful Bitcoin attack. Hints of unmanageable abuse would be exchanges de-listing alternative cryptocurrencies due to mounting losses.

The bottom line is if Bitcoin can't survive a 51% attack, then everything else below it is non-viable.

Personally I think the gaping vulnerabilities of altcoins and the scalability of Ethereum is a bigger issue than what may happen to Bitcoin over the next decade+. Major catastrophes with any of the other stuff could go a long way toward causing loss of trust, interest, and value in Bitcoin.
When I stopped seeing code reviews as gate keepers and started seeing them as collaboration and communication points it finally made sense to me. But reviews only work well if your team shares a common goal, like maintainability or knowledge transfer.

I've worked in a place where code reviews where treated to just a box to have checked off. There was no shared responsibility for the codebase. And most people had a mentality of "if you approve mine, I'll approve yours". Still it was kept as a "safeguard" by management because for them it was also a checkbox they could mark on their process checklist. I'm happy I left, there is only so much culture a single person can change in a team/company.

I've got a team that I am actively trying to convince that this is a problem, and I am scared that I'm failing. We're introducing new components that have deliberately introduced latency to make transitions smoother (and I mean LARGE latency. 500ms large). I brought up the terminal insanity of doing this and got in response "no one has complained about it so far... we can tweak it if you like, but I'm following best practices" (citing nothing).

I bring this up with others, and they are lukewarm about it. I feel like our company is in deeeeep shit if I don't convince people this is a problem.

hm, no idea. I haven't thought about revenue models much since I've envisioned this more as a grass-roots thing than a startup opportunity.

A good first step might be making a personal site generator. Put in links to your twitter/youtub/substack/medium/whatever accounts, and then you get a nice looking site with all your content in one place. Maybe throw in a subscribe button so people can get email digests of all your content.

and then, almost as a side effect, anyone who uses the site generator also is publishing it all as an atom feed.
I mean, when articles point out clear scams with thousands of 5-star reviews, how can a lowly honest person compete?

Similarly, what can you possibly do if someone with deep pockets decides to trash your competing product’s reviews?

Also, in my experience at least, the overwhelming majority of real customers do not submit reviews at all. Thus I am skeptical of any product that has miraculously convinced thousands of people to contribute positive feedback.

At this point, every single review system acts more like a tool to help scam people, instead of helping them to avoid bad products. It pushes bad products to the top of search, whereas unrated products would be forced to scam a handful of people in obscurity.

And the worst part is that I still think twice about any low review, even knowing that in all likelihood the reviews I am reading may not even be real! It really messes with your head.
the problem is that in schools, kids learn not science, but examples of science, without understanding what science is.
They don't learn biology, but examples of biology, without understanding any context, history, aims.
They don't learn about languages, but just an example of a language, and only small parts of it.
There is no context, and especially, there is not even an attempt to connect one thing to another, or to provide any context or relation.
Sadly, schools don't even teach learning anymore. They just teach succeeding by imitation. So yes, we're in big trouble. Or they, if you're old enough.
> The right answer to that shortage would be to increase supply — for instance, by cutting red tape in zoning and construction

Hmm but didn't they indeed provide incentives for increasing supply, by exempting new construction from rent regulation? In fact the later argument saying that prices started going up in the unregulated market would support the notion that the policy is indeed providing a powerful incentive to new buildings. Sure, the article also laments that there still isn't enough supply, but can one argue that giving more rent money to owners of old properties would help fix this?

How did new construction change in Berlin? What about homelessness? I don't know but find it shady that the numbers aren't shown.
I think this is something that is often overlooked in progressive circles. Markets treat high prices as signal to increase supply. When supplies cannot be increased you get market inequities.

Rationing for goods like bread, paper, milk, gasoline, etc. Can be a stand-in while the problem that is preventing the market from responding by increasing supply is fixed.
