I’m not sure how helpful this is but I worked Tech Support before applying to be a developer. If she wants good hands on training in sysadmin and programming there are support jobs (especially at startups) that are terrific for launching (or relaunching) a dev career.
Not a Tailwind user (yet?) - but from what I understand, with the right build tooling setup, it's possible to only include additional CSS from Tailwind as needed, i.e., to define only the class names that are used. It could be lighter and more efficient than the classic way of using Bootstrap with a layer of custom styling on top.

It's incredibly misleading because it simply omits every marketplace which takes a smaller cut, such as the Windows store's new 0% cut.
I don't think choosing to share your thoughts/critiques on what has & hasn't worked for you in industry connotes any kind of assumptions about being a flawless leader. One can have some interesting thoughts worth sharing without being some idealized technical leader. Hell, I'd argue a lot of the thoughts that were shared betrayed some points of concern.

There's a LOT of projection that has gone here.
USA could have modified their agreements with the manufacturer of AZ so that they could fill their agreements with other countries before the usa one destined for a warehouse the usa had no intention to use.

I ran into the same problem trying to pair it with Django. From what I remember, some manipulation of primary key constraints in the schema could get them to coexist (although you lose any enforcement of unique PKs, so there's the potential for things to go bad). We ended up moving to FastAPI, so don't have this problem anymore.
Yes. That is the egalitarian/feminist position. There are no upsides to knowing the truth, so we should ignore it and attack anyone who starts looking at the data.

Pandemics are non-linear. Pandemic response and fear emptied hospitals almost immediately and reduced normal cases (as well as people delaying treatment in too many cases).

People don't understand exponential phenomenon: a half-full hospital when there's a spreading contagion (with a replication factor ~2) is actually already over capacity. At 33%, with a replication factor of 2, the next influx of patients overwhelms you.

However what you're talking about is asset prices, which has nothing to do with inflation. There's a term for rising asset pricing:

This is probably a "my part of the Titanic is rising!" kind of problem. Doctors have and need some time off as well and doing a dance is good for moral and teamwork. Plus, in some regions, the pandemic is pretty well under control.

This doesn't change the fact that they're currently burning corpses on the streets in India. A bullet missing you by 10cm or 10m does not feel much different; Liveleak showed you the effects of the bullet that did not miss.

This can't possibly be true. Why do you think Apple is so popular among tech circles? It's not because everyone collectively decides to read their privacy policies. Apple has to actively advertise they don't collect data.

The simple act of making a spectacle of their products announcements are advertisements. Not clickable ads in a website but an ad regardless. They could quietly release products every year by updating their website but that wouldn't sell nearly as much...

Your last 3 references are all future looking vapourware. They keep calling coal "uneconomical". It has been the foundation of affordable electricity for many decades. Wind, solar, and utility scale electricity storage are driving massive electricity bill cost additions. They survive only on massive government subsidies, massively distorting their supposed "low cost". In Ontario, Canada, the government had to offer $0.42/kWh to get people to build solar, at a time when the highest consumer price for electricity on their bill was $0.10/kWh. This happened through a combination of nuclear, natural gas, and hydroelectric being closer to $0.05/kWh (various generators are on different contracted rates).

It beggars belief that these "clean energy" organizations who have never run a generator, or a grid wander in and claim that non-dispatchable, heavily subsidized solar and wind generators are "cheaper" that the established technologies. Real world solar and wind generating plants that are cost competitive with traditional generation simply don't exist.

As far as coal generators phasing out, yes, there probably won't be many replaced. Natural gas has all the same dispatchable properties as coal, so it can function as a perfect substitute. Nuclear could also take over for baseload. Wind and solar.....no.

I disagree that a simpler grammar makes it easier.

I think you're conflated 'socialized' with 'nationalized'. The vaccine research and deployment was motivated by profit, but the US government was the one of the only customers. The beneficiaries were the citizens, based on need rather than their available excess capital. That sounds unlike normal US 'capitalist' healthcare, and very much like socialized healthcare.
I successfully helped a woman in a similar situation a few years ago. We thought what would help the most was to become familiar with the parts of a modern framework (controllers, ORMs, etc). She used _Agile_Web_Development_With_Rails to build a sample site, and then built another site with jhipster, studying the generated artifacts. This took about 4 months, and we met every other week so that she could ask questions and we could plot out where she should concentrate her efforts.

After that effort, she was able to get a job with a large stable company.

That’s hardly the limiting factor there. Just use placeholder art and save the artists for the best ideas. Or just create context-free art that the devs have to bake in.

> Starcraft 2 is basically dead. WC3 remastered flopped. The RTS genre writ large is definitely in a waning phase.

I wouldn’t call SC2 “dead.” You can still queue up for a game within a couple of minutes if you want to play, which is all that matters. This is even true of Brood War.

I think the dominance of Starcraft 2 on the RTS esports scene basically smothered any contenders in the crib. The oldheads who still like it seem to prefer playing Brood War with all its incomprehensible esoterica (to uninitiated audiences) to anything new. Now that Blizzard has put the game in maintenance mode I expect there will be more sunlight to nourish new seedlings as its canopy withers. All the influential Blizzard RTS developers seem to have decamped for Frost Giant games to create a new RTS, and it looks like they have the industry clout to make a splash when their title finally lands (maybe in 3-5 years ha).

Meanwhile Sunspear Games, which made the innovative “Vanguard” mod tor SC2, just got done with a (purely hype-focused) kickstarted launch for Immortal: Gates of Pyre (slated for late 2022). And then Relic is putting out a new Age of Empires as well.

I am WAY more optimistic about the future of the RTS genre now than I’ve been at any point since Heart of the Swarm came out and half of SC2’s active player base decided it wasn’t worth it to continue playing.
If you're operating at a scale that would require something like vantage you probably don't need vantage as you have or will need to have a very good understanding of AWS infra / costs anyways.
Is it actually lots of data? I assume it would all be just numbers, which can be quite small when stored in binary format (+ compression).
Same for me!

I remember the precursor to Liveleak, Ogrish, which was much more graphic than whatever Liveleak became in Liveleak's last final years.

It was back in 2004 or so when I had to reconstruct a somewhat censored link on their forum, which took me an FTP server directory with videos, that I waited to download, which showed me Al Queda celebratory videos of killing US soldiers.

That was a first for me, I'd never seen footage of US not winning, let alone a side that considered it a good thing. Really just broadened my horizon.

Was uncomfortable at first because I felt there might have been a reason with personal legal liability that the footage wasn't available in other places, but much more curious.

Anyway, such footage is much easier to come across now, with beheadings and such just occurring. Any Facebook feed assumes you want to see an extrajudicial killing involving a US police officer.

But at the time I was amazed such content exists. Not appalled. I can't really relate to people that say they can't watch that kind of stuff and will just take someone's word for it. I get appalled by things out of someone's control, such as a gas leak blowing off the side of an apartment building. But there's never anything real I have any feelings from watching.
All this talk is making it sound like Valve did everyone a favor by bailing on game development at their peak :\

The Internet just got less weird and more and more it feels like the days of it being "sketchy" to the average user are mostly over. On the other hand, social media can be insidious and in some ways it's made society weird as ever in a worse direction. Then again there's a lot less creeps, criminals, and deranged or at least their presence isn't as strong or obvious on here. I guess that is about as I feel about this, and I think it's been a couple of years since I've watched something there. I'll bet there will be an alternative for those who really seek this stuff out, though, adjacent to what remains of the pirates.
> When the economy actually reopens and people start spending again, prices will go boom.

Yes, this has actually been predicted. See also 2010-11:

> Then came a few months when inflation seemed to be rising after all. Consumer price inflation reached almost 4 percent; wholesale inflation went into double digits; the average price of commodities like oil and soybeans rose almost 40 percent in a year. Soon Republicans were haranguing Ben Bernanke, the Fed chairman, suggesting that his efforts might “debase the currency.”

> But the Fed stayed its course, arguing correctly that rising prices were a temporary blip, not a harbinger of ’70s-style stagflation. Inflation soon subsided, and it has stayed low ever since.

[…]

> So what’s going to happen in the months ahead? We’ll probably see a number of transitory price increases, not just because the economy is booming, but also because the lingering effects of the pandemic have produced some unusual disruptions — for example, a global shortage of shipping containers.

> The question will be whether these price increases are a 2010-2011-type blip or something more dangerous. Smart observers will look past the headlines to measures of underlying inflation — not just the Fed’s standard “core” measure but things like the Atlanta Fed’s sticky price index as well.

I played Starcraft 1 and 2 for the past ~20 years and a few months ago I decided to call it quits. I permanently deleted my account and haven't looked back.

I really hope Blizzard doesn't give up on the franchise and creates a Starcraft 3 for the next generation of kids (and adults).

To me Starcraft is like a modern form of chess, and one of the best games ever created.

> Do not hop from job to job

I disagree 100%. If you take a job and it's not a good fit, leave. You're not doing anyone any favors by sticking around & being miserable. Don't take a job w/ the intention of leaving, but certainly don't stay only because you feel guilty. The benefit of leaving a job you don't like if you relieve the company of retaining a bad fit, and you reward the new company w/ the experience you got at the old company. LIfe's too short to stick around when you're miserable.

No amount of 'trusting change' will transform the millions of spread out homes already constructed over 80 years into densely packed apartment buildings without tearing the houses down and putting the apartment buildings up. Pre-car cities were built high-density from the beginning. They were never low-density.

In Python there's a saying: the standard library is where modules go to die. That effect applies even more so for browser builtins.

Their insistence on framing depression as if it were a biological illness (and not a result of the complex and historical interplay between psyche/desire and environment) is repulsive to me.

- conspiracy videos and memes that they see each day gradually lead them to embrace fringe views
- Fired employees regularly threatened to return to work and harm their old colleagues
- they coped with the stress of the job with sex, drugs, and offensive jokes, all in the workplace
- self-harm were also common
- turned people intensely paranoid

I feel like RTS would have a second awakening if they could de-emphasize the all-important actions-per-second somehow.
