Unfortunately it's not officially supported (as usual in CRA world), so you have to resort to one of the config rewriters. I've been using this⁰ and only had one problem with numeric enums in TypeScript. I don't remember the exact issue, but it was caused by my own stupidity, and was easy to fix.

We have a similar philosophy with our Python code base. Redis and Postgres are our only real dependencies. We use celery but it’s basically just Python. Maybe takes a little more work setting it all up, but once done provides similar benefits.

Do we really want another generation addicted to consuming big-budget media? Especially now that most of that media is encumbered by DRM that makes free computing platforms much less attractive?

Mind you, I'm not sure that Roblox is the answer. But it might be better, since it at least puts more focus on creating rather than consuming.

That may be an obvious intent, but I do not believe it is obvious the implementation will succeed in achieving those goals. From past experience, it rarely has.
Willingness to be exploited? Willingness to put up with management ordering you to jump through arbitrary random hoops?
I hadn't realized this before, but unions have a similar effect as a minimum wage. They both set a floor wage where if you're at or above the floor, you're doing some version of OK, but if you're not, you have a significantly sketchier work situation making significantly less than that floor. They both act to stratify the workforce.
Video codecs are hard, but the reason video utils become services is because the best (by a mile) video codec libraries are (L)GPLed. I suspect the same is true for the best PDF libraries that would be integrated into desktop applications (meaning compiled like SumatraPDF's library, since there are plenty of JS/Python permissive licensed libraries).

All the developers I know immediately jump down a level to ffmpeg command line utils or up a level to proper video editing software (often pirated, no less), so there's no incentive to develop a high quality simple video editor.
There are already plenty of people (workers included) who think unions allow some workers to freeload while other workers pick up the slack.

Building a Cloud Data Platform – Webinar
How about going at it the other way around: There are laptops with SIM cards / card slots already, for wireless data connectivity. Does it take additional hardware to use that for telephony / SMS, or can the already-present hardware be used for that too, with only a software component to enable it?

Sure, not quite as handy — or Handy, for the German-speakers among us — as a physical phone... But, say you keep your laptop with you in a backpack (Rucksack ;-) ) or such, and a Bluetooth hands-free headset clipped to your ear...? I hear lots of youngsters listen to music continually nowadays, so they already have some kind of earbuds in all the time anyway. Or maybe even some kind of Bluetooth "satellite" handset, to make it easier to initiate outgoing calls / read and write text messages?
The laws may punish the misuse of data, but laws change, as do vilified minorities.

Protecting privacy isn’t so much about not caring who knows the quantity of eggs you buy a week it’s about acknowledging history and the fickle winds of change. It’s sort of easy to believe that progressive attitudes will continue to prevail and that history tends to lead to increasing enlightenment, but there are often major backslides on issues of social norms and inclusiveness. It’s also about realizing that what you do today might not get you in trouble, but what you did last year might, even though last year no one would have thought twice about what you did.
A lot of stuff in the automotive world has paid libraries. They can't be services because they need to be real-time, but they're not free because implementing a complex IEEE standard as software is not trivial.
Yes, it is commonly known that velocity is expressed in scores in 127 discrete and linear steps. I mean, the differences beyond the X and Y axis of time and height (pitch) are the only thing that are similar and even then traditional notation is far more expressive compared to the declarative nature of MIDI.

How does any of this change GME's valuation? Any company can decide to get into anything - the existence of an opportunity that everyone is aware of doesn't impact the company's valuation unless the company's uniquely suited to exploit the opportunity. I don't see how GameStop is particularly well-situated to take advantage of e-commerce or streaming opportunities. They don't have any unique offerings or substantial online presence. They obviously don't have any real tech or product talent or expertise. They also primarily deal with console games and all new consoles lock you into their own online store. They are suddenly going to compete for 2nd place for PC games?

And, Ryan Cohen has no operational role at the company and changing an existing company is very different from building a new one. It's not just having some grand vision, but having the culture and talent to execute on it at every level.

In the State of Oregon only state-licensed stores can sell hard liquor. "Hard" seems to be about 20% because you can buy wine and beer under that percentage in grocery stores.

The price is the same at all stores and there's a price list online: http://www.olcc.state.or.us/pdfs/monthly_alpha_price_list_c....

A lot of business is done in cash at these stores. They're traditionally a lucrative place to rob because of the cash. There seems to be some people who don't want to be tracked but mostly the cash customers seem to be people who deal more with cash themselves.

> 1) something with thread-local storage saving the the auth info in the request handler, and then coroutines or async code that is overwriting that thread-local with info from a new request before the old request has finished.

This would be my guess. This sounds like Ruby. But I've seen very similar bugs in Node, where user data is leaked across requests. The issue is typically the developer is using a global variable when they should be using the request context/storage.

In Node there is an insidious brother of this bug as well. It's where the developer is initializing some bit of code (often a 3rd party library, or loading a file) and they are doing it per request when they should be doing it once globally at process startup. It's just about the opposite of the first bug I mentioned. The result is Node leaks memory on every request until it runs out of memory and the process dies. This bug can be an incredible pain in the ass to hunt down.
I work at a compilers company and my manager has told us to not work off the drafts and to expense the standard if we lack a copy.

I suspect volunteers working on floss compilers use the draft, but anyone who can expense it has no reason not to.

As an aside, when I need to explain how something works for C, I quote the standard. When I need to explain how something works for C++, I quote Stroustrup's book. The C++ standard is very precise, but also very math-y. Stroustrup is much more approachable.

I am constantly hitting command+c when meaning to command+v still to this day! Some apps will annoyingly copy a blank space (or clear your clipboard) if your cursor is in an input/textarea but you are not highlighting anything. Chrome does not do that, on Chrome if you do not have something highlighted it will not copy it.
It's kind of hilarious because the big lesson I learned in the US military is that they have a great system for coordinating/motivating a whole bunch of average people into doing "big" things.

The multiplayer piece is night and day compared to Minecraft. Doing any kind of social gaming in Minecraft requires a sysadmin setting up servers and upgrading Java plugins. It's a double benefit because game creators don't have to reinvent the multiplayer wheel. I think it's a brilliant setup and why my kid prefers to play Roblox with her friends instead of other socially fragmented games.

Edit: and don't even get me started on the Bedrock/Java Edition schism!
Everyone knows a little about all these things. Heck the computer science curriculum at every university pretty much makes it so all students know a little of everything.

I agree that a world of 100% fully self driving cars that talk to each other makes the road capacity and travel speeds much greater. I don't see any way, however, to get from here to there (at least in the US). Are we going to give cars to people that currently rely on beat up used cars to get to their jobs? It's the same reason we can't have single payer healthcare -- the chasm is too far for us to cross politically and economically even if the destination would be superior.

Even your own link has this:

> That is probably why other union leaders, like the SEIU’s Mary Kay Henry and Association of Flight Attendants-CWA’s Sara Nelson, support Medicare for All. The advocacy group Labor for Single Payer lists 21 unions who support it. But the controversy lingers, kept alive in part by politicians who oppose Medicare For All.

It's not always very clear whether one healthcare plan would be better than another, especially when the details haven't actually been worked out for the replacement. It sounds like the Culinary Workers Union has built an impressive healthcare system, and wants to be sure their members don't have their healthcare downgraded under a new plan.

Increased wages are much more clear cut. It's not like union employees making $30/hr are going to get their wages reset to the minimum because that was increased to $15/hr.

> I also know few instances where worker unions negotiated better benefits, wages for existing members while letting employer hire new employees at lower wages as a compromise.

And that's likely because those unions were in weak negotiating positions, not because (like you were originally proposing) they wanted to stand in the way of better worker benefits to make themselves more attractive in comparison. IIRC, those lower-paid new hires are also represented by the same union.
So write your own software for your needs and sell it for a one off price?

But you presumably won't because the incentive isn't great enough. Which is exactly why people milk subs. And if you're not willing to do it for the incentive of a one off price, why should anyone else be?
I've always wondered about this.

We have a site dealing with finance for a East Asia audience. It's original audience was Europe with a blue theme (signifies trust etc) and it got extended to Asia (english speaking still). So we just themed it by changing the branding colors to the East Asia organizations color. Which is... red signifying prosperity. As in 10 shades of red.

The site has the typical warning/alert/error message feedback in forms/charts etc... in different reds/oranges/etc. I spent a bit of time trying to find a Asia focused UX guide on color for alerts/errors without luck. Does anyone have suggestions? I've asked a few different culturally native Asians from various countries and just get resigned shrugs.

Note: The messages have icons/text to go with them so it's not a total disaster but it is hard to figure out

> Meanwhile, a lack of understanding of C++ details is kneecapping a hundred billion dollar segment of the technology industry. It's absolute madness.

I agree with the sentiment that a lack of knowledge is kneecapping C++ development.

However, that lack of knowledge isn’t so much about the details, but the big picture. Forget reading the ISO C++ standard, I think most C++ developers would be better served by reading Scott Meyers “Effective C++” series. Forget about knowing the grimy details of of the standard. I would be happy for them know RAII, and avoid naked ‘delete’ calls.

I have some decent C++ experience, but even I try to avoid areas of the language where you have to be a language lawyer trying to parse if what you are doing is undefined behavior.

Yes, ISO c++ standard is the foundation, but there are a lot more idioms and other knowledge to learn about C++ that is far more important for making good C++ developers.

The target of the ISO standard is not your average developer, but rather the people who write the compilers, standard libraries, and books that bring C++ tools and knowledge to the general developer. For them $200 is nothing compared to the time and effort of those endeavors.
And don't forget the image attachment that Google ~~insists~~ forcibly put the image inline the message instead of as attachment. Why would they make it complicated and made a weird drag-n-drop rules for image only. It would be nice if Gmail team simply add the option to disable adding the image inline the message. Since it is Google, more likely Gmail will sunset their service before adding that option.

No different than if a union doesn't kick out shitty union members no? The same still holds true. Anything a bad union does, a bad boss can do, at least with a union you have a vote.

Quality IKEA furniture is made of solid fir/pine/spruce and is finished with a resin paint that resists scratching pretty (though, pine is still soft and dents easily). If you put it together using some wood glue, it will hold up for years.

IKEA absolutely sells cheap furniture made of laminated MDF, and it's often half the price of the quality stuff. And it's not fair to lambast IKEA for sacrificing quality to hit a price-point when they do allow people to pay more to better stuff.

The step up from the good IKEA tier is a big step. Even cheap hardwoods like oak are a lot more expensive than s/p/f. And that's not even getting into how much more wear hardwoods put on tooling or the weight difference.
Yes. Google sort of reminds me of Saudi Arabia, economically.
Assertion 1: they have enough as it is, and should not seek collective bargaining as a sign of loyalty or something.

Ridiculous. If they're well-treated now, it is not by the benevolence of the company, but more likely because they could be paid much more and still turn a handsome profit.

Assertion 2: not being the bottom of the barrel means improvement is not to be sought.

Clearly a ridiculous position again: others having a shitty situation does not mean that you should count your blessings and stop seeking improvement.

Why should the cost of certifications fall on people who just want to see the standards?
I think my favorite lesson was their term "implementation-driven design" that I still see pretty frequently. It's where you build your UX to match your system architecture and is the opposite of "user-driven design". Like building forms that are just one-to-one with the database tables. It's why I cringe every time I see devs on hacker news saying they don't need managers or designers to build products because you'll end up with an implementation-driven design more often than not.
My 2 cents:

Avoid competing with 20-somethings coming out of local coding bootcamps. Here there are multiple groups churning out React + (node or ruby on rails) web devs. Just learning Angular instead would set you apart.

Pick one thing and focus on it. It can be so exciting to learn a bunch of new things but you will end up spread too thin to be of much value. Now that "one thing" can be a full stack of a couple technologies, but pick one of each and specialize in it.

Don't be too niche for your market. If you're in a small market, there may not be a lot of demand for machine learning or rust. A solid .NET dev is likely more employable. Look at open job postings and use them to build up a list of common needs there.

There's a pattern I've seen a number of people successfully follow. Find a somewhat newer technology with good potential value in your market. Learn it. Blog about what you learn. Develop a talk about it and give it a couple of times (Meetup groups are usually desperate for speakers). Produce a video of your talk, either from an in-person event when we can again or one from your desk environment. Start pinging publishers about writing a chapter or reviewing a book on your chosen tech. If possible, get your name on a book cover, even if it's with other authors. From then on, you are "Zero Balance, author of 'Getting Started With Golang Embeds'". Even if you're applying for jobs that aren't closely related, you project a lot more authority than the average coder.
