I don’t really get the argument. You are assuming this is supposed to be a library. Apparently that’s not what they intended here. Why assume everyone would want to bring in the whole collection as a single library. What if I only want the autocomplete & the file attachment elements. I think it is rather nice to ‘npm install’ them standalone.

I think this use case would be way more common actually, than to find yourself in a situation where you actually need every element in the collection. I think your anger towards ‘complex’ JS tooling is skewing your initial reaction.

Web components don’t even fall into that ‘complex tooling’ category. It’s literally dependency free, vanilla JavaScript. Heck, copy and paste them from the repo into your project if you don’t want to use a package manager.

I’m glad this exists, as I’m excited for the vanilla web components ecosystem to mature. I’m also glad I can use these components ‘a la carte’, and not bring in 14 other components I don’t need.

Edit: looking at the source closer, it’s actually Typescript :) not JS, but that doesn’t really change my point.
Any advantage to using this over pwpush.com in terms of security?
It may seem narrower to people who's views are sliding out of the window, but I see no evidence that the overton window in the US is any narrower now than say, the 1950's.

If anything it feels like it has effectively widened, or at least fundamentally changed to lose some of it's bite, since there is no longer truly national media and everyone can quickly find a bubble with a window that fits their views.
I figured that's what you meant, but I'd rather it just be said. It wasn't clear what you were trying to say.
Can anyone name a time in history where the people censoring things turned out to be the "Good Guys"?

The same argument has been used against the use of TypeScript, and it is a fair argument. If someone has never had a problem involving types, or a variable being mistakenly set to the wrong value, then they will have higher confidence in not using TypeScript or the `const` keyword.

`const` isn't exactly that useful, especially considering that the tooling most of us use now helps us catch these sort of mistakes before runtime, but there's basically no objective reason to not use it. If you have a value that you don't want to change, `const` is only a few extra bytes from `let` and will provide better feedback when your tests fail because a value was subsequently set when it shouldn't have been. Maybe that never happens to you, but just because it's a rare problem doesn't mean it's useless to take a precaution. Most of us will never get into a car accident, but that doesn't mean that airbags are useless.

I hear it is used quite a lot in Europe. My experience is similar to yours, RHEL or Ubuntu, but I am based in the US.

I played a bit with Open SUSE on my home machine, I wouldn't use it a work simply because there aren't as many repos for the package mangager, for instance if you want to install kubeadm you would have to build from source.
I have these on my eBike. They're interesting, but trying to use them is twitchy. You end up doing the USB thing of trying it one way, then flipping, then flipping back, then staring at both ends intently trying to line up the ying/yang of the openings to match them up. Then they disconnect much more easily than I think they should as they're just plastic.

Much rather just move to some sort of USB-C reversible socket design.m

"Does anyone have any anecdata where they've seen it most heavily used?"

In germany. It's quite widespread there in companies and public institutions. I prefer SLES over red hat/centos, but that, of course, is just a matter of personal taste.
None of that is even remotely related to your initial point.
I'd love to hear more details on how you are defining 'shared spending'. I've seen my parents have major conflict over control of spending and this shared account idea is very appealing to me, when I need it.
Yes. AC motors will normally blow their fuses immediately.

But a small AC motor (eg. a fishtank water pump) will burn out before the fuse blows.

Surge protector strips sometimes have isolation transformers. These will also blow their fuses immediately.

I like ArgoCD a lot, it gives good visibility into the reconciliation and deploy process. If you have a human approving a release, it’s particularly useful.

I do think k8s would be improved with a “PUT /namespace/myapp“ command that specifies all resources in the namespace. Currently adding resources to a ns is easy, but you need smarts like Argo to make sure unwanted resources get cleaned up. A simple example would be if you rename a Deployment, the old one won’t get deleted when you ‘kubectl apply’ the new one.

A lot of simple pipelines could be supported with a simple stateless PUT that defines the totality of the desired state for a namespace.

(Also nested namespaces might be more relevant in this model too).
I wouldn't feel too bad. McWhorter has deliberately picked the fights he's in (see for instance his longstanding feud with Ta-Nehisi Coates) and deliberately associated with IDW-types specifically, I think, to troll leftists. It's too bad, because I think he's got a lot of important stuff to say about figures like Ibram X Kendi.

(Like I said, I think McWhorter is worth paying attention to. Also, he has one of the great podcasts.)

The parent postulates that a "Nakamoto" type 2 civilization will convert all the energy of its star into heat doing bitcoin calculations. Such a star would disappear from visual light (Dyson sphere stuff). The Clarke story is about a religion that uses a computer to calculate all the names of god, bringing about the end of the universe. The story ends with stars disappearing. Both have big computers doing math that results in stars disappearing from the sky.

The joke is that rather than calculating the names of god, maybe we will end the universe by finally getting to the end of bitcoin calculations.
Not that I know of. Got a DMCA only once.

Mozilla's instance was obviously associated with the big names 'Mozilla' and 'Firefox' which made it easy to abuse. That isn't an issue now. I guess that helps.
I disagree. Many of those concerned about this do not hold any view that is currently suddenly outside the window. For you to claim that this is the case with is just a form of ad hominem.

Rather, what is going on is a slippery slope (in reality, not in fallacy) being recognized for what it is. People see that their friends, parents, neighbors, children, coworkers, and eventually themselves are quite possibly going to be labeled with a scarlet letter for holding any view whatsoever except what was decided at yesterday's HR meeting, which nobody has been notified of yet.

In other words, this is not a question of the Overton Window moving. This is a question of whether the Overton Window should become the Overton Pinhole.
That's fair, but you might run into another wall if the people worrying about the nonsense CVEs are also resistant to Alpine for other reasons.
I always found Pinker to be a wide as an ocean, deep as a puddle kind of thinker. His simplistic views are eloquent, but flawed, however somewhat easy to communicate, which makes him popular. A true celebrity intellectual.

This reminds me of the argument that police forces can't be racist if they employ black officers. Even black police officers are more likely to shoot an innocent black man than an innocent white man in the same situation. Want to find someone who is racist against Argentinians? Go to Peru or Chile. Just because some Latinos in a focus group agree with a message does not mean it's not racist against Latinos.
I did when I tried it out of curiousity, surprisingly alright with a bit of salt, no marmite for me though.
I think that's also a little bit true, yes.
> The real question is, how influential would it be without all the legislation to suppress it?

I had exactly the same thought. The argument is deeply flawed.

> Social norms matter, and legislation can reinforce those norms.

Brexit is a great example for this phenomenon. Directly after the vote, xenophobia and homophobia increased significantly in the UK. It need not written into legislation, the signal of a common understanding is enough to change behaviour.
Right. I don't have an argument with the writer, its a wonderful article, spot on. Yes my families work was largely pre-big ag. Nothing is for everyone. The trigger that looped me in here was the "not sustainable because hard work", I drifted to tangents too quickly.

Thanks. Was a fun read.

Indeed, Microsoft was lying on how they created WSL1! They must be using git clone-d Linux source code, because from a cursory look the "Bash on Windows" looks exactly same to a bash running on real Linux, I even tried grep, they are all the same! Then they finally cannot cover it up anymore so they released WSL2, publicly stating it is vanilla Linux running in Hyper-V, pretending they are not doing this from the beginning to save face, shame!

Definitely. But many still use it, partially because of `ffsend` (https://github.com/timvisee/ffsend), so it's nice to have around.
The strongest objections to "cancel culture" (it's a bad term, but I'm not arguing semantics, let's just go along with it) are procedural.

Because the public often lacks the entire picture, "cancel mobs" are effectively operating a form of vigilante justice with imperfect information. While strictly speaking people do have a right to do so, when "cancelled" people suffer real-world consequences (pressure on employers to fire them, etc.), the entire thing starts getting scary, regardless of the merit of the accusation.

I'd also argue that, for a well-intentioned person, it's tactically stupid to engage in such behavior, because this circus allows truly bad actors to credibly claim they're being unjustly accused.
To be fair, OP was clearly talking about native apps. My 2c: an Electron app looks "alien" (for lack of a better word) on every platform that supports it. Especially so when it implements deep integration like a menu bar widget. One would expect it to obey the operating system human interface guidelines. This in itself makes it unsuited for the task. Even more so when the main reason to use electron (code reuse and ease of porting to other platforms) is not fully realized (as this appears to be mac-only).
That was an example so straightforward that it's hard to imagine any honest person looking at it and saying "Yeah, that's all right".

The people who opposed him before could cite numerous other examples, and to be honest I can't really imagine how many people changed their minds over that one if they'd accepted everything else. If they do exist, it's hard to imagine that it came as a complete surprise. I would imagine that in retrospect they'd have to say, "Yeah, maybe the people whose guy he wasn't weren't completely off base".

That is, it's not just the usual "not our guy" thing. This was different in kind, not just in amount. Maybe some people opposed him just because he wasn't their guy, but there were things that should have broken the mold of "he's our guy therefore he's ok".
You may be able to find a bubble, but can you find a job?
I was initially a fan of the elam ending, in theory. After watching the all-start game endings, I am staunchly opposed to it. The lack of a clock removes most of the tension in the end of a close game. Thinking further, it also removes the entire concept of the last shot / buzzer beater, one of the cornerstones of excitement in competitive basketball. When a shot goes up as the clock expires in a game that is within 1 or 2 points, you have the suspense and excitement of knowing that if the shooter hits that shot, his team wins. If he misses, his team loses. With the Elam ending, there is less excitement because the consequence for missing is that the game just continues & the other team now has a chance to score and possibly win.

I beg to differ here. I'm allergic to all dairy products (protein allergy), and I haven't had any problem keeping a healthy diet.

Dairy isn't at all necessary for survival after you're able to eat and digest solid food. In fact, most mammals and 65% of humans develop lactose intolerance by adulthood.

Meat? That's a bit more difficult to replace in a completely vegan diet without vitamin supplements.

At first glance, yea, this company is trying to do something that could be done as a side project. The fact that they "are new to the productivity space" doesn't bode well either, and this pitch isn't helping the problem. However, there is one line of the post that grabbed my attention:

"We’re now looking to bring Slack and GitHub into a unified notification inbox in the menu bar"

I've had this exact problem (too many notification from too many sources) and don't have a tool to give myself good control over what notifications get my attention now, and what notification I can read in a digest later. Right now I have to use N app's setting to set N notification policies, and toggle a "master-switch" silent mode, only be be deluged when I turn silent mode off. The tricky thing, IMO, is that they'll be creating an application that competes with iOS functionality, and you can probably guess who wins in those situations.

The idea, "manage notification and free peoples attention" is a good one, and I wish the founders luck.
I’ve found many yum repos that aren’t specifically opensuse repos still work. Add in the OBS repos and I have been impressed by the available software.
I don't think Mac OS actually natively supports select to copy so ITerm2 as an app implements it by filling the same clipboard buffer you would otherwise use.

X11 by contrast has by default 2 buffers so you never clobber your buffer filled by control+c however some clipboard management software optionally syncs the 2 buffers bringing back the behavior you dislike.

I agree and mostly disagree with the article.
Youtube was a good buy. Google bought a sat-imaging company that was a good buy. GSuite is good. Android and the Pixel are pretty okay. Google Scholar is dope. There are a lot of things Google is doing well. Google is full and smart people and they have done a lot of good stuff.

They also have struck out a lot on new technology ventures as the article mentions.

I like what Google is doing with their "X, moonshot factory" but I think, again, there are examples of picking strange things to sink a lot of money into (project Loon for instance).

But Google is hardly alone... MS, Yahoo, Facebook, etc. all have their venture failures to counter-balance successes.

Overall I think Google is a well run company and generally knows what they are doing on the balance.

Meanwhile,the article authors works at Zdnet... just saying.

Other than the US export ban, I haven’t managed to find any strong online evidence for your claims. Both Russia and China seem to have exported (or plan to export) large quantities of vaccines. And according to the European Commision, the UK does not have a ban in place, at least not officially.

My theory is simply that, at this point in time, the EU countries are insufficiently well linked and coordinated to face a crisis on this scale with the efficiency of something like the US, due in part to the variety of cultures, languages and political philosophies within the bloc.
I didn't know you could do this before this thread this is a great idea.
The V in MVP stands for viable. Things that aren’t viable aren’t MVPs they are steps getting to an MVP. Part of the value of testing stuff is to check and see if what I think is an MVP is, actually is. When it clearly isn’t, if I call it an MVP then I’m either insane or a marketing person.

Investing any time in a Google project is a risk, given their track record. I think I'm most sad about Project Ara. That seemed genuinely innovative and environmentally responsible. Axing Hangouts means I'll probably have to use Skype/Zoom/<insert malware here>. Working with Google on an academic project was terrible. They failed to deliver promised features in Google Earth Engine (i.e. the developers personally promised us). Result: I'm blocked from coding and open sourcing the features myself in another big data platform, and we have a completely unreproducible study because we had to rely on a bunch of awful hacks to get it to run.

The key thing to consider is block scoping in JS. Inside of that loop is a different scope, so any `const` defined in there is not accessible or interfering with higher scopes.

In a way it makes good semantic sense if the value shouldn't change within that scope.

As others have mentioned, in JS this is kind of questionable since arrays and objects don't behave as many would expect a constant to behave.

You're free to use either one, really - it largely comes down to preference.
So, deplatforming (silencing) a group is okay, but doing the same for other group is not okay based on some arbitrary criteria.

This is probably the most compelling reason to view Pinker as a less-than-good-faith actor here: https://newrepublic.com/article/68044/sex-ed

In 2005 then-Harvard president started a firestorm when he suggested that women were underrepresented in STEM fields because of genetic differences in academic ability. Pinker argued that people were being too politically correct, and suggested that the (true) fact of genetic differences between men implies that there could be a genetic difference in cognitive ability.

But the assumed “fact” that women were statistically less skilled than men in STEM fields was already starting to disintegrate in 2005, as boys were falling behind academically and girls were accelerating, a trend continuing in to 2021. It is ridiculous to think that women somehow got better STEM genes in the space of 40 years. Sociological and political/economic factors are clearly responsible for the change and current discrepancy.

So the idea that the difference is “genetic” is horseshit and has been horseshit since long before 2005. Specifically, it is a bold scientific claim that contradicted current and 2005-era understanding of human biology, and requires far more evidence than some economist’s musing. Summers was wrong (factually and morally) to suggest otherwise and Pinker was wrong to defend it.

Note that Pinker didn’t merely defend Summers’s right to make unfactual remarks. Pinker defended Summers on the merits. I think he continued to defend these views as recently as 2014. In my view this (along with Pinker’s general reactionary tendencies) gives people a good reason to suspect that he’s a sexist jerk who can’t be trusted to engage with “cancel culture” issues honestly.
I think this is actually a perfect example of YC finding its way again! They found a team they believed in, said, "Go build" and let them run. Then they dropped what they were doing and did something else. That's exactly how YC should be, and used to be.

My complaint with YC lately is the exact opposite -- they keep investing in companies that have product market fit and profits. Those are great derisked investments, but not at all what YC used to do, which was investing in people, sometimes without any company at all.

They've done a good job of moving back towards those types of investments, but Demo Day is still filled with, "Hi, we're the top experts in our field and we started a company a few years ago and have $1MM+ ARR and are profitable but we want investment to grow faster". And a lot of those companies look like they'll settle into a nice low 9-figure valuation, which is great for the company and YC, but boring for someone looking for the moonshots YC used to be known for.
