I think that reflowing text is perfectly fine for reading fiction which lacks graphs and meaningful formatting beyond section titles.

For non fiction I find reflowed epubs sometimes inferior to a pdf perhaps to a degree more aesthetically than in terms of actual usability which is harder to quantify. Below a certain size this has exactly the defects you describe however I find that on a fairly large wide screen in landscape orientation it is quite readable.

For example a screen 6in wide lend themselves well to reading without zooming. This is largish for phones or smallish for tablets.

Regarding dictating layout and aesthetics for practical purposes most of your users aren't actually dictating much of anything beyond screen size, platform, and zoom level. Just because other settings exist doesn't mean most people use them.

For practical purposes there are small screens where text must be heavily reflowed because not much fits on the screen and screens big enough to show a whole document depending on font size. For most things you want to support the first use case if any portion of your users are going to be on phones which is nearly always true.

This doesn't mean that there isn't a case for designing a non mobile version of content especially if its mostly consumed outside a limited and limiting screen or benefits from such.

Something I really appreciate about Josh is that over the years he has humbly responded to inquiries and comments I’ve sent by email or Twitter, provided exceptionally high quality insights and instructions around web development on his blog at no charge, and generally proven to be a great person to share the internet and this industry with.

On this basis alone I supported his course. I will peruse it and no doubt learn from it, but I’d be content if I never did too. He has helped me save at least as much money as the course cost me through articles on his site.

I’m really happy to see he’s finding a solid footing in doing more of what he’s so great at.

As mentioned in the article, I suspect a significant part of his success is due to the work he has put into this in the preceding years. He seems to have a (deserved) good reputation, which gave the opening campaign and very holistic ‘ground up’ solution to giving the course legitimacy. That’s something that’s often lacking specifically in the css/js scene in my opinion.
Why aren't non-colonised countries like Ethiopia, Nepal or Bhutan thriving then? I get it's easy to put things into a binary good/bad box and certainly easier to sing "colonialism is bad" in front of a crowd, but the world is a complex place.

Hypothetically would India be in a better or worse position now if they never had the English language foisted upon them?

The British colonialists tried to end centuries of rampant violent slavery on the Malayan peninsular, this made them incredibly unpopular with the Sultans and resulted in the assassination of an administrator, a war and resulting cessation of the practice.

In certain cities like Melaka, slaves made up 30% of the population, were the British not to have intervened the use of slaves would have likely continued well into the 20th century.

The world is rarely black and white.
Out of curiosity, why? Not to doubt you or propose the solution is in another person or something.

By the way, the work you do is fucking awesome, just so you know. At least, it matters to me.
I’ve deployed several syno routers and extenders and have had 0 calls for support, they seem to just work.

The lack of mounting options and Poe power are obviously a downside for a lot of implementations but overall they appear to be solid.
PDFs look and are made to feel like actual books. I see that as the primary reason for people being comfortable with PDFs. Even if their readers are buggy.

Consider the alternatives.

HTML, too much re-rendering and re-formatting.

Word - Oh No. Not in a million lives. Have you seen the atrocity that is the "reading mode" in Word?

Epub / Mobi / Etc - I have never come across good readers.

For what its worth, PDFs are great for reading on larger screens like iPads. I read them on my mobile too, but that's not good for long reads.
Just in case it adds clarification. I think the downvotes are due to equating HIV to justice. Smoking once it is well understood I guess kinda is, but HIV is really just a matter of luck like all infectious diseases. You can reduce your risk (eg masks for stopping flu or COVID), but to call it “justice” feels very callous to me.
Agreed, but the "safer for the outside" systems aren't (in my opinion) automation; they're regulations and policy to lower vehicle mass (more mass + velocity = more potential harm) and to be more antagonistic to vehicular traffic to force it to behave with greater care [1] [2] (regardless of whom it in control of the vehicle) around vulnerable stakeholders such as pedestrians and bicyclists.

Trust is this really funny thing. It takes a long time to build, and but a moment to sacrifice.

I believe, down in my sub-cockle area, that Yelp is just going to both show me and not-show me reviews, ratings, and rankings on the basis of "who has paid Yelp the most money".

It doesn't matter if Yelp has, or promises, to stop doing so. That pool has been thoroughly peed in.

So if I want to find a restaurant, I do the old-fashioned thing: ask a few locals where they would go for a nice steak/curry/etc, and triangulate from there.
These issues are handled on a case-by-case basis. I can't make any hard promises here (it's not my department), but generally, if your worker is not obviously malicious, we will talk to you before taking any drastic action.

I mostly write CRUD apps.

That's where the volume is. There's a big demand for programmers to do web stuff. That demand may or may not continue. It's so stylized that it should have been automated by now. Have an exit strategy.

There are many things in computing that are hard and more interesting, but they tend to be low-volume. From self-driving cars to industrial control, there are many areas of specialization. But not many people do those things. You can get stuck in a niche where there are no jobs near you.

If you're stuck doing web apps, at least learn to do them in Go. The performance is pretty good and there are fewer layers.

Someone recommended Rust. I write a lot of Rust, but for non-web stuff. It's useful for things where you'd otherwise have to suffer through debugging C++. Don't write web apps in Rust; it's the wrong tool for the job.

A user-level understanding of machine learning is useful. At least learn how to start up TensorFlow.

How compilers work, and especially how they optimize, is fascinating, but there's not much demand for people to do that. Distributed database internals are similar. As is networking. These areas are very important, but most of the big problems have been solved and they don't need many people.

Operating systems are also interesting, but things seem to have settled down to either Linux or Windows and mods to them.

The blockchain/distributed finance/cryptocurrency world has a sizable following, but it's mostly the make-money-fast crowd, some of whom are crooks and some of whom are suckers. Be cautious.
Not sure what the sign up flow looks like today. What I know is that in the past students created Facebook accounts^1 using their student email accounts. They graduated, the student email accounts were deleted, but their Facebook accounts continue to work today, even though they never updated their email addresses with Facebook or added phone numbers.

Generally nobody will START with a lawsuit, they will poke @ you/the owner of the website and say hey, X doesn't work for users Y(some group of people needing accessibility). If the owner/you are a total meanie pants, THEN they might threaten a lawsuit, maybe a strongly worded letter from a lawyer. Only after that, will they MAYBE proceed with an actual lawsuit.

Why? Lawsuits are expensive, a bug-report is 100% easier :)

So if you listen to your bug reports about accessibility, the chances of being sued are near zero. Assuming you DO get sued first, if you fix the issue before the court date, chances are you won't even have to show up, but even if you do have to show up in the court date, they won't be able to show standing anymore, and the case will get dismissed. (Assuming you actually fixed the issue)
Given synology is owned and operated out of Taiwan, it’s rather silly to make claims about the prc.

"religious conservatives do not appear to be among the leading donors to HIV-related charities."

Wow, this is the worst misinterpretation of conservatism I've seen... (let's say 'today')

Sex isn't wrong. It just so happens that it can lead to HIV infection. If you wish people get infected, you've created a moral loop that just punishes people because you enjoy watching people suffer. Congratulations, maybe you do have a handle of conservatism-as-practiced, after all.

It'd make just as much sense to threaten to kill anyone found in public without a blue towel: you'd get the satisfaction of righteousness indignation and the honour of killing lots of people for completely arbitrary reasons.

I don't know anyone who's actually paying for PrEP here in the US because pretty much every provider's going to cover it, no? It's more expensive treat HIV than it is to prevent it, so if you're an at-risk individual your insurance doesn't want you getting it

I built Nodewood: https://nodewood.com

I really enjoy NodeJS/Vue for web apps, but I got sick of having to connect together all the packages from scratch each time, set up ESLint, testing, database connections, write the user auth/management, all that common stuff. So instead, I put together a boilerplate with all my common practices and basic app features. I figure, it ultimately saves me time on all future web apps, and if other people want to build a similar style of app, spending a few hundred on a decent boilerplate is cheaper than hiring a freelancer to do it for it, or even doing it yourself, if you value your time at anything higher than minimum wage.

On the flip side, this data is already public. (its a leak). And by HIBP exposing it, the cost of selling this data goes down, playing the long game to help us.
By HIBP locking down this data, you get a false sense of security. (it is still public info, just only in sketchier places), and there becomes a higher market for selling it.

Your opening sentence is weirdly derogatory...

And I think these are all pretty far from the main performance issues with common apps FWIW. These are more low level coding issues, whereas the real slowness (e.g. 10x or 100x issues) comes from architecture, dependencies, network usage, data structures, reflows, etc.

Create an exfat partition called 'data' and mount it on both MacOS and Linux.

Then create your Documents, Downloads etc. folders on it, and use symbolic links.

mkdir /Volumes/data/Downloads

ln -s /Volumes/data/Downloads /home/rahim

Are you talking about frequentist probability or epistemic/Bayesian probability?

Your example of tossing a fair coin is potentially confusing in that, for that specific example, both approaches to probability can produce the same answer, which can promote the confusion of treating them interchangeably.

If I have a coin which I don't know is fair, I can't assign a frequentist probability, but I can assign an objective Bayesian probability of 0.5, using either the principle of indifference or a uniform prior. Once I learn the coin is fair, I update the Bayesian probability, and it is still 0.5. Learning the fact that a coin is fair is not informative in terms of objective Bayesian probability, since it doesn't lead to any change in that probability. By contrast, learning that the coin is unfair is informative, and will lead to you updating to a different probability.

> If, on the other hand, I were asked to assume a probability for a scafwich showing a flantex after being zenquexed, I would have no basis for saying 0.5.

You have no basis to assign a frequentist probability. You do have a basis to assign an objective Bayesian probability of 0.5, the principle of indifference. And subjective Bayesian probabilities are subjective, so what subjective probability you assign is up to you.

> I see a pattern and I feel the older generation is way more capable and knowledgeable when it comes to Computer Science in general.

One thing to consider is that the older generation has simply been at it for longer than you have, and this is an industry where the vast majority of experience is gained on the job.

Another consideration is that due to a number of timing factors, a certain demographic (the elder Millenial/younger Gen X cohort) came of age at a time when computers were just recently cheap enough to become a mass-market good and viable for home use, but before they were commoditised and standardised, and before there was an internet full of helpful information, so if you wanted to learn how they work under the hood, you needed to get your hands dirty.

My happy, well-adjusted child absolutely could read, count, and do basic forms of math at the age of 4 years old. We were simply there as parents for her to buttress her curiosity and expose her to new concepts.

I'm currently working with the AWS CDK and the more I used it, the more I have the feeling tools like that could be the next big thing.

It's melting the walls between cloud infrastructure and application code and the fact that it does IaC with the same language I use to program web apps (JS/TS) plays an important role here.

I think, it's not 100% there yet, but it's on a good way.

> You cannot ignore the military spending, though. It is wealth production as with anything else

I disagree with this assessment. For a transaction to produce wealth each counterparty gets more out of it than they put in. In many transactions this is true. The fruit of the agriculturist allows me to focus on computer typing. The things I type allow some people to make better decisions. At each step we each add value that produces wealth. Some transactions are entirely comprised of loss. Military spending is a form of insurance against catastrophic loss. While some industries capture the wealth from that sort of spending, they do not reciprocate with value. The value is turned into craters for training or worse and too often into decreasing the wealth cycles in other parts of the Earth.

The Night 46 Million Grasshoppers Went to Vegas
You mean by somehow evaluating whether the incoming request and the outgoing one are sufficiently "the same", in which case the outgoing request can be attributed to the original client?

This seems hard. Let's say the request is the very simplest "GET /" request. The worker does nothing except rewrite the hostname, in order to proxy it to a different server. Is it "the same" request?

Well, imagine the new destination host is a company-internal dashboard that authenticates users based on IP address. Now this "GET /" request which was proxied will receive a response that contains secrets. The worker that did the proxying can intercept the response and learn the secrets.

So clearly if the request's host is rewritten, it cannot be "the same" request and it cannot be considered to have come from the original client.

But the only case where we care about any of this is when a worker makes a request to a different domain. If a request is to the same domain, we trust it, because in that case the attacker can only attack themselves anyway. So the only case that even matters here is when the host has been rewritten, and in that case, we've established that the new request definitely cannot be attributed to the original client.

So it seems to me there's nothing interesting we can do here. A request coming out of a worker (going to a different domain) must always be attributed to the worker itself, not to the client that triggered the worker.
