That would be an entirely different moral case where negative, soul-crushing emotions are inevitable and justified. It wouldn't be solved by rewording the email to "in case you have kids". The least of your problems in such cases is mistargeted emails. The same emotion can be triggered just by looking at other people's playing kids or even from passing by a toy store.

What we're dealing with here is nothing like that. It's inflated egocentrism where one thinks that the whole world should respect their personal willful decisions, when no harm in any meaningful way is being done when they are ignored.

> PCB assembly shops are usually unwilling to work with externally-produced PCBs, so there's no point in making the PCB yourself.

I think these PCB processes and machines are all really designed for prototypes and experiments, it's the aspect that they're great for. If you find that you need to send them to an external PCB assembly shop, you probably shouldn't make your own board to begin with. Same for externally-produced professional PCBs - I order a raw board rather than a fully-assembled prototype because my chip is an uncommon part and they don't offer this chip for prototype assembly.

> Unless, of course, you are really good at soldering. But for me, 0.5mm pitch ICs or 0.4mm pitch connectors are way out of my motor skill league.

Speaking of soldering, I have no problem with 0.5mm pitch LQFP ICs with a good stereo microscope - for me I can just use brute force. However, my own problem is 0.5mm QFN - I have to use stencil printing and reflow soldering since I'm not good enough to hand solder that. I find a high quality board with accurate solder mask between the pin (no bridging), and with ENIG surface finishing (maximum flatness) are extremely helpful. I don't think a simple DIY PCB can handle these applications (but I'd be glad to find otherwise). But again, this was a 1 Gbps+ board.

Conclusion: I still believe DIY PCBs have their places for prototypes and experiments, but if one argues it's not useful because it cannot be assembled by a PCB shop or it cannot reach 1 Gbps, it would be demanding too much and not really fair for these simple boards.
Do people come from all over to attend megachurches?

There are a bit over 1000 megachurches in the US. Around 50 have regular attendance over 10k, with the largest one averaging around 47k. (There are also 3000 Catholic parishes that have over 2k attendance to Sunday mass which would count as megachurches if the term didn't specifically only apply to Protestant churches).

The impression I've generally gotten is that most people attending a megachurch are from the general area that church is in. Close enough to drive to it every week. And that those who do travel a great distance to visit one do it independently and irregularly.

Compare to Kumbh Mala in India. That's held every 12 years and lasts about a month. Attendees travel from all over India to be there, with attendance of over 100 million over the month, and up to 40 million on the busiest day.

That should be a much more effective COVID spreader than all the US megachurches (and large Catholic parishes) combined, because so many people travel from all over the country to attend.

This may be true in some cases (I certainly don't have enough information to refute it categorically), but is absolutely not universally so.

For instance, on iOS, they cannot access your microphone without your express permission (though once they have obtained it once, you'd have to go into the Settings app and explicitly revoke it), and they cannot do so while the app is not open.

Similarly, in Safari on macOS, any website needs to ask permission to access the microphone/webcam, and you can revoke the permission if you want. (This isn't quite as obvious, but if you add the Website Preferences button to your toolbar, it becomes much moreso: I strongly recommend doing this for anyone using Safari.)

I know there's a fairly widespread idea that all smartphones act as always-on microphones and cameras for the shady tech overlords (or the government; whichever the person's particular fear is about), but the whole point of Apple's stance on privacy is preventing that sort of invasive, pervasive, surveillance from taking place from iPhones and other Apple devices.
> Presumably they'll eventually port Chrome to WASM. Then they can completely control the browsing experience.

...what? As opposed to shipping binary executables for an OS/arch combo, they'll ship a binary executable for WASM, and then a second binary executable for the OS?

If they want to take Chrome closed source and make it fully obfuscated, they can do that already, with or without WASM. Chrome is already closed-source, only Chromium is open -- and we know Chrome has secret sauce in it not from the repos.
I think it's a decent article. I mostly agree.

But I want to say that I wish the credibility is in reverse. You should first be credible enough for writing, then you can boost it further for having it finished and well received. Just finishing a technical book is not enough.

I am too finishing a self published book[0] so I am very interested in other self-published cases. I miss some sales numbers in the article or advice on marketing strategy.

If someone is interested, I just shared how the first month of selling went for my book[1] (spoiler: pretty well for unfinished book). I will continue doing this, because I think it's super helpful for others thinking about it.

Writing a good book is HARD. Marketing it might be even harder. Most authors will be net-negative considering salaried work, so share your numbers!

"Ad blockers" need a new name. I don't consider uBlock Origin an "ad blocker". It's a proper user agent (like a browser is supposed to be) that gives the user control over what is allowed to happen on their machine. That just happens to have the side effect of not allowing most ads to render because the way they're typical delivered. It won't matter if everyone starts using canvas unless they also stop using my machine to fetch random third-party content, which they won't, because the "ad" industry is now really the "tracking" industry.

The very few times I've seen ads over the last decade or so, they were standard images hosted directly by the site. That's all ads should be. The contract between the site and advertiser should be their problem, my machine isn't obligated to be their mediator.

> technical merits

The DOM gives a developer very little control over when something should be repainted (or how repainting occurs) relative to the compositing options available when controlling one's own canvas. Moving the rendering engine to canvas allows the docs team more control over the optimizations of layout and rendering they can do (especially cross-platform; there are a hundred hundred mutually-incompatible bugs and quirks in Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc.'s layout and content rendering algorithms that make cross-platform high-performance very hard to guarantee at the DOM layer of abstraction).

My pet theory that fits the timeline pretty well is that when Tumblr died and they migrated to Twitter, what was incubated and contained on Tumblr dramatically changed the demographics of twitter and became more mainstream. Most of the last few years of change have been commonplace on tumblr up to that point, but we just kind of laughed and pointed out how ridiculous it was. Now it’s the mainstream
Sidewalk's bandwidth and latency is a little better than this, though.
I think we can assume that Google Docs will implement right click -> copy text.
They are considering this "Transitory" meaning they think it will drop with no changes to the Fed's behavior. Yes, 4.2% is high inflation, but it has been lower then target for years now, so you might consider this "reflation", or higher then normal inflation in order to catch up to normal after years of lower then normal inflation.

Also, as another comment points out most of this increase comes from increases in used automobiles, gasoline, and airline fares. This can all be explained by supply issues and large drop in those item last year at this time. The Fed's behavior have minimal effects on that.

It gets worse. Did you know that most doctors once believed that infants couldn’t feel pain?

“Until as recently as the 1980s, researchers assumed newborns did not have fully developed pain receptors, and believed that any responses babies had to pokes or pricks were merely muscular reactions.” [https://time.com/3827167/this-is-a-babys-brain-on-pain/]

As a result, doctors would perform surgeries without anesthesia on newborns. This is absolutely mind boggling.

Same here, I'm in a ~90K town on the outskirts of the Bay Area, and there is a proposal to build a handful of "affordable apartments" in the downtown area. I get the feeling that most people are apathetic, maybe slightly for it, since more housing is probably, in the balance, good for the Bay Area. But, man, the few people against it are really against it, they are organized, retired (so they have infinite time to fight it), have seemingly infinite funds, and are really, really angry. If you just looked at the surface, you'd think it was a huge angry mob. But, it's actually the same tiny group of people writing their letters to the local paper and attending the council meetings over and over. They are very good at projecting strength and amplifying their message through various media. If I was actually passionate about building affordable housing, I would definitely burn out and get cynical, having to face this every time.

> Kind of surprised

I'd assume a significant cost-benefit tradeoff. For all its flaws, the DOM rendering algorithm is at least "document-like," so there's a lot of wheel-reinventing to do going from just using the DOM to a custom document layout implementation underpinning a canvas-targeted rendering algorithm.
Out of curiosity, I just tested a 100-comment thread on my phone with Firefox. Folding it was instantaneous, unfolding it took ~4 seconds. That makes me wonder what takes so long, given that the initial page load didn't take anywhere near that long.
> I imagine using canvas gave them a lot more flexibility in addition to being more performant.

I'm perplexed because I don't expect canvas rendering to be faster - or necessarily more flexible - because the web is document-first: HTML and CSS were/are all built-around describing and styling textual content, and computer program source code files are invariably all textual content files. So while browsers all have heavily-optimized fast-paths written in native code for rendering the DOM to the screen with the full flexibility of all of CSS's styling features - so applications switching to canvas rendering will first have to contend with needing to reimplement at least the subset of CSS that they're using for their editor - and it has to run as JavaScript (or WASM?) - and I just don't understand how that could possibly be faster than letting the DOM do its thing.

I appreciate that DOM+CSS rendering is not designed-around monospaced text editing or with specific support for typical text-editor and IDE features which do indeed throw a wrench into the works[1], but I think a much better approach would be to carve-out the cases where the current DOM and rendering model is insufficient or inappropriate for those specific applications' purposes and find a way to solve those problems without resorting to canvas rendering.

That said, is this change because Google wants to use Flutter for a single codebase for Google Docs that would work across iOS, Android, and the web? Flutter does have a HTML+DOM+CSS rendering mode, but it's horrible (literally thousands of empty <div> elements in their hello-world example...)

[1] e.g. a HTML/DOM document is strictly an unidirectional acyclic tree structure, and CSS selectors are also strictly forwards-only (e.g. you cannot have a HTML element that spans other elements, you cannot isolate individual text characters, you cannot select a descendant element to style based on its subsequent siblings, or ancestor's subsequent siblings), and how the render-state of a document is also strictly derived from the DOM and so does not allow for any feedback loops unless you start to use scripts, which means you can't select elements to style based on their computed styles (unlike, for example, WPF+XAML, where you can bind any property to another property - something I think XAML implements horribly...), and I appreciate this makes certain kinds of UI/UX work difficult (if not impossible in some cases), but in the use-case of an editor I just don't see these as being show-stopper issues.
The biggest change I noticed was having a kid. It’s like there’s been a process running in my head since birth called “affects me?” A few months after kiddo, there’s a new process, “affects kid?” The new process seems to have taken a third to a half of the resources the first was using. Much of what bothered me doesn’t affect the kid so I don’t care nearly as much.
I've been coding Flutter mobile apps for a couple of years, but have only toyed around with the web target. In my experience it seemed kinda off. Scrolling lists ignored my native scroll speed and janked, text manipulation felt laggy, etc. It reminded me of the good old horrible days when Flash-based websites was widespread. I tested it right after the 2.0 release, so perhaps they've fixed it since.

EDIT: Also IIRC the bundle size of a release bundle was like 3mb which was a big yikes.
How often does an individual actually use the App Store? I’ve already figured out my app load out and since apps can’t exactly share data the way desktop apps do, that’s not likely to change - I can’t get a package that handles data better than the original, using the original files.
