Reading this article makes me feel like the team that built this wasn't just building a game. It feels like a passion project where the detail was important, not because it made for a better game, but because it mattered to the people building it.
As someone with very limited resources I keep looking for cookbooks to do UI/UX tasks. Any actionable checklist of these "basic rules of navigation and usability". Sorry the basic question.
Does anyone...that you might know of...have the tidied-up/demultiplexed/transmogrified version of the dump available?
I don't use a UI.com account to connect to the Unifi controller I host (as I don't need their inconsistently working NAT traversal to get to my controller), hopefully the networks I support are safe due to not being entangled with Ubiquiti's cloud infrastructure.

Anyone who is forced to get a UI.com account (eg: UniFi Dream Machine and UDM-Pro owners) should change their credentials and do a factory reset on their routers and Access Points ASAP.
"Someone pays for losses" is always true.

"Socialized losses", as far as I understand it, means that the group paying for the losses is the same one as the one which is/was the beneficiary. Does someone think that EU citizens were set to benefit from the Chernobyl plant?
> but I don't think being an asshole is unethical.

Maybe I don't know the right meaning of "ethics", then.

But putting bots on dating apps is lying to people on the other side, and hurts them, in a very intimate and personal way. People put time and emotional energy considering their matches and whether to swipe etc, and the resonance of the conversation. So you're polluting that space, both with the catfishing / leading people on, or (more likely) confusing them and making them question themselves / their profile / how to relate to other humans. Is that not unethical to you? Have you talked to people who have been victims of that? My gf was actually quite afraid that I was a bot when we connected; it almost blocked our chance.
It doesn't take that much skill to drive a bus. College kids and retirees do it for part time income. I'd think the conductor/security guard would be as expensive if not more expensive than the driver.
Well, Svelte itself is a bit older than that. And of all the modern Javascript frameworks, Svelte has been, for me, the most joyful to work with.

However, to your comment, I agree - there's unnecessary amount of complexity in the stack above. For me, it's usually Svelte in front, with any server side application.

The conclusion "Bertrand Russell is the Pope" does necessarily follow from 1=0. I'm not sure why you think it doesn't.

The conclusion "Bertrand Russell is not the Pope" also follows. Yes, this is a contradiction. So is 1=0.

> I don't know if this solution is at all useful, but climate change is massive threat to a large percentage of humanity and discarding solutions because you don't like the "mindset" isn't going to get it done.

Climate change is not the only massive threat to a large percentage of humanity, and the mindset that "building large-scale processes with monetary incentives and no after-thoughts needed is good" is what's causing all of them.
Useful conversion: At $47/ton, it costs $0.47/gallon of gasoline burnt to capture the CO2 the gasoline would release.

This fact that you divide by 100 to go from ton of CO2 to gallon of gasoline equivalent is a useful coincidence.

It also means that a dollar per gallon gasoline tax for carbon capture would be enough to make cars carbon negative (cars have a lot of embodied carbon; the factor of two covers that).
I could have said the same thing but I thought pointing them out was more efficient.

I mean it's well known that you can teach young children complex cognitive skills. There are preschoolers with high competence at difficult musical instruments and sports skills for example.

I don't see, and haven't found in relevant reading or experience, any way reading that early is more valuable to the child than anything else they could be taught.

All it really announces is what skills the most influential adults in the kid's life value.

As part of my research, I'm also building a new UI for exploring a database using data visualizations and an ER diagram. Here is a half-baked demo: http://mondial.kyrixdemo.live/

Hopefully the UI is self-explanatory - if not try clicking on visual objects to perform drill down, or search something in the top righthand corner.

As an entrepreneur and a nerd, I can't count over the years how many times I was overly excited and too optimistic. I hope people and the main stream media are not this harsh to people who are trying to change the world. Look at how hard Elon works. Just extend his estimate by 10 years and let him and his team work his ass off. If by 2030, we have electric cars that drive safer and better than normal human beings, I'd call it a win.

George R.R. Martin Writes Everything in WordStar 4.0 on a DOS Machine (2014)
Some of these stated issues aren't universal. There are frameworks that pair a server side rendered page with a switchover to SPA. Providing the user with a pre-rendered page with a follow on JS bundle that loads the SPA and the switch is seamless. It's a bit of extra work so I don't always use it, but it exists. This also removes the incompatibilities with non-browser tooling/bots/etc. (Example: quasar.dev)

2G is being phased out (at least where I live), it no longer works here. Chromium browsers have a slow-3g network effect to test your code/sites. I use it frequently. Sometimes it reveals problems, other times it's a shrug. Some features just require bandwidth and there is no reasonable way to avoid it. I do try to reduce page weight as much as I reasonably can.

Lots of features of the modern browser will leak finger-printable information. The JS engine is hardly the only problem piece. I guess your general complaint here is to indicate the world is insane. I tend to agree, but I don't think this is the principle reason why :)

Screen readers are notoriously difficult to make work correctly. In my experience, this is a universal issue with the web generally and isn't unique to SPAs. If we're serious about audio accessibility we need an actual standard instead of this guesswork.

Breaking navigation is a pet peeve of mine too, poorly behaved front-end routers are terrible. I always target working urls into any part of the app as refreshing the page is a common operation. And I must have a properly functioning back/forward for my own sanity in development if nothing else.

I will beg to differ on the point of failure. SPAs can also be apps, paired with a service worker and a local data set they can continue to function even if you are completely offline, or the server is completely offline. Obviously if your web app is just broken, yeah, nothing's going to work. But in the case of SSR, that's also true if your network is down (locally or remotely), or the server is down/broken.

A well built offline-first SPA will reduce the total number of single point failures that kill all functionality. Also, offline-first SPAs have the side effect of masking some of the latency over a slow 3G link - which can improve the user experience significantly.

I haven’t done Nand2Tetris (yet), but I can 2nd the idea of learning the fundamentals of computer architecture. I was 12 years into my Software dev career when I took my digital logic class. It was a real Bear for me, but the lab stuff was fun. At the end of it, we had to build a (simulated) 4-bit microprocessor and it was really cool to see it working. Even though I’d been using and working with computers for 30+ years, it was the first time I really understood how computers worked.
Ideas don't need to be correct to be adaptive.
An "overnight success" about 15 years in the making.

The single most important thing to learn here is to START asap. If you have an idea that you want to chase, start doing something on it now. Write. Learn. Build. Grow. Improve. Share.

Then by the time you're ready to take the big step, you're not starting from zero.

At best, you'll have sharpened your skills and built an audience.

At worse, you'll have sharpened your skills.
I can offer a counter example to this - I was laid off and by choice didn't even look for a month. I had no issue negotiating offers. Part of the key is not disclosing (ever) current or previous salaries.
At least Tesla doesn't try to restrict you from filming videos of it's driving system. Waymo will ban you from their system if you film videos of it driving.
I do think it was easier to develop a full understanding of how IT systems work a few decades ago. We played around with Windows 3.11, XP and early Linux distros, setting up networking, etc in the old days™.

Nowadays the level of abstraction is higher (smartphones, FaaS, VMs, UI frameworks).

My tip to OP would be to set up a home lab on hardware from eBay. Run some services on it and manage it from the metal up.

> Elsewhere in the world, Truvada might cost $40. In Australia, Truvada costs $8 for a 30 day supply[1].

AUD 6.60 in Australia is the cost for those eligible for the concession PBS rate (those that are on welfare, pension etc.). It's AUD 41.30 for everyone else.

This is all thanks to our government negotiating a good rate with the manufacturer and then subsidizing the costs. This is not what all governments do, unfortunately.

I've met Josh twice at React Boston in 2018 and 2019, he always came across as sincere and happy to answer any question. The second time I met him I mentioned he always gave great talks because he teaches you a base level of knowledge and expands upon it. It's a great way to give talks and teach. Very happy for his success.

On a slight tangent, it was the same way my favorite instructor in university taught complex analysis. If you asked a question that you didn't understand, he would go back and to proof the topic was built upon explain why the proof is useful for the topic then build upon that until we hit the current topic.

Of course the downside is that this approach is extremely costly in time, but it really taught me a deep appreciation for math.

Happy to see someone with a similar approach.

One model of motivation is that you get motivated with autonomy, mastery, and purpose/belonging.

I understand the 'mastery' bit is less about whether you can do it (clearly you rate yourself well at that) so much as the feeling that you're improving at it.

"just CRUD apps" suggests that you're not feeling you're mastering it, and that you don't feel like it's the best fit for what you're interested in doing.

I think any professional task you can competently accomplish without having to learn anything is going to be boring. I think e.g. Scala, K8s are complicated enough that there's room for learning more about it. Not necessarily "do hard stuff for the sake of being interesting", so much as "being able to evaluate whether this is the best tool for the job".

We are able to run it on a PC is surprising to me, it seems to be something from supercomputers realm.
HyperScript is so cool. I’m seriously going to look at this after I was stuck in a pit of addEventListeners yesterday.
30 years ago, my, then-Representative, Mike Pence was going around supporting tariffs on Chinese steel. I thought tariffs were a Bad Idea, prima facie. Pence explained that if we allowed China to decimate our steel industry, we wouldn't be able to make tanks, domestically. Cogito ergo sum, it was a _literal_ national defense issue.

I don't know where the steel issue stands any more, but we've already been at war with China over intellectual property for 20 years. It would make a great deal of sense to subsidize domestic silicon fabs and computer hardware manufacturing, and tariff foreign versions, for the same reason.

It's no secret why Facebook is not allowed in China. They know exactly what it really does, and what its true value is, and they're not willing to allow that leverage to the US, and it's disturbing that their lack of reciprocity doesn't seem to cause much concern.

It's kind of disgusting that we've outsourced so much of our infrastructure to a country which, in another generation, is going to become the world's most powerful. China is playing the long game. We're willingly giving up our lead because we've built our post-70's society on the almighty stock option, and our myopic focus on only the next quarter.

We decided our kid (CA) is doing remote school for as long as they are offering it. It’s mostly useless for her age (8) but it’s far better than sending her to a COVID pitri dish and bringing it home. I was stunned at the number of kids opted back in to in person school. All this risk for two more months or so. We are going to see another wave as people once again pretend the pandemic doesn’t exist.

I'm in Asia, in a place with no laws. I won't beat a native person to death for this kind of thing, but if you're "peeing" in front of children, which I have seen multiple times from foreigners here, then get ready. If you're in a city, keep your fucking dick in your pants, just in case your around somebody like me that is shell shocked by too many experiences witnessing pathetic attempts at sexual assault, both "visual" and physical.
Fascinating! I liked the main article since it acts as a reminder that we have to make accommodations for the imperfection of our technology (which I consider to be an interesting perspective given the digital age of pixel perfection). Yet I think your linked process emphasizes that idea even better, since pre-emphasis seems more consistently relevant, while letterform adaptations for printing are becoming less important the more digital we get.

>Okay, so for "The disastrous decision to share a currency"

As slibhb said, feel free to claim that economists like Stiglitz and Krugman are demonstrating the Dunning-Kruger effect when they write that the Euro is a bad idea.

The very pro-EU Guardian [speculated in 2013](http://www.theguardian.com/business/economics-blog/2013/jun/...) that if Britain had joined the Euro:

* The mid-2000s British housing bubble, and its collapse in 2007, would have been even bigger.

* Britain would have had to ask the IMF, ECB, and EU for loans.

* The Tories would in 2010 have promised a referendum to leave the Euro and won a majority. Labour would have won fewer than 100 seats, and UKIP would have "made spectacular gains".

* The anti-Euro side would have won the referendum, and the currency would have collapsed.

* "after a deep and painful recession economic recovery began".

* "Britain would have destroyed the euro on departure, and would now be on the point of leaving the EU altogether. The idea that Farage might be the next prime minister would be quite credible."

People often claim commerce and free markets are the driver of innovation. That's true, but they're not the only driver. Industry and national "moonshots" play off each other very well.
They could also mean the early, hot universe vs. today. In those hyper-dense conditions, it's possible that something like nucleonic matter could form the complex patterns of life and intelligence, which would proceed many orders of magnitude faster than our own chemical reaction based life and intelligence. (See Robert Forward's "Starquake" books about life on the surface of a neutron star. Those creatures would experience time at millions of times the speed we do.)

Entire eons of civilizations could have arisen and disappeared, with their own "heat death" of the universe from their perspective. At some point, the universe would expand and cool to the point that the form of matter required for their existence would generally cease to exist, destroying everything from their civilization, utterly and completely.

In Roger Penrose's Conformal cyclic cosmology, another universe could arise after the heat death of our own, just at a different scale in time and space, where the cold, thin, red-shifted to oblivion photons left over from our universe would comprise a Big Bang in a far slower, cooler, and vaster universe.

Something _similar_ happens for Digital Combat Simulator in that third party developers can develop modules for the base game engine (so far it is mostly aicraft but there are 1st party ground units and a 3rd party has indicated interest in building a relistic Integrated Air Defense Network simulator on it as well).

Asciidoctor has a web PDF tool that just went alpha a little bit ago, uses the same stack as the OP's thingie.

https://github.com/Mogztter/asciidoctor-web-pdf

The content handoff goes like this: Asciidoc (using defined roles) generates HTML5 (Paged<dot>js polyfills page areas / pagination stuff), CSS styles stuff, and Puppeteer runs a headless Chromium for the pdf render. It's straight from CSS GCPM W3C spec, a flavor of CSS Paged Media, drafts that have been percolating since frickin' 2006 but have never seen browser implementation.

The beauty of this is that you use the same CSS for web and PDF deliverables. Actually, the even better beauty is that you are using two dirt-common technology stacks - CSS and Javascript - instead of XSL or Prawn or some ancient bespoke layout language. With Asciidoctor, for complex print requirements you're going to be forced to either 1) DocBook-XSL via fopub or 2) DocBook-LaTeX via dblatex. The native Prawn-based PDF tool isn't capable of a whole lot of customization without extensions. So web-pdf is a real shot in the arm for those of us that aren't real keen on going back into XSL-FO.

It seems like a nice idea, the different consent/withdraw/forget workflow. But it seems the core idea is that all user PII is stored in a central table/tables and all other places uses reference. You can do this normally in a regular application, even the old version had only userId (a non PII info without the user table) and the PII was centralized. I think the biggest challenge is getting there where your PII is not spread all over the database and some denormalized PII for performance or whatever reason.

I guess the biggest advantage of this project is removing access to the PII by means of joins and such and automatically enforcing access to PII using a restricted API. I guess a premade API makes it much easier to ensure nobody ends up violating that access and integrate PII too closely with the application.

My personal experience as an early reader lines up pretty well with the post you're replying to. School was interesting, but the lack of challenge meant that I didn't really develop a lot of habits that would have been really beneficial later on.

Conversely, rather than be held back by not reading as early, I wish there were more opportunities for students who were well past their peers but not so much that they could skip a grade. Unfortunately, one of the drawbacks to not having much choice in schools is being stuck with the lowest common denominator of expectation for students.
