I'm surprised no comments here are in praise of Eleventy (11ty). As someone who works on more hardware-oriented stuff and not web dev, 11ty was the simplest to understand static site generator I've tried. I started out with Hugo, but there was too much going on for me to figure out how it works. Most tutorials or google searches ended up just pointing to "use this theme and change/add these files to add new stuff". 11ty is so dead simple in comparison. You just say, "hey, I have these files using these templates," and it just spits them out rendered. If you want to group certain data, you just label them using front matter and put them in a folder. And if you want to put content from one file into templates, you just specify what template file you want to use. I think it's the perfect balance between simplicity and customizability. Being able to write posts and markdown and throw together a simple HTML template for the base layout has been a lovely workflow to use.
I was not taking about consciousness, just intelligence.

There is no reason to assume that intelligence and consciousness are strongly related. Why automaton can't be conscious. One may require another but I don't see why if one is more intelligent one has more consciousness. Or reflective etc.

> If we have no free will, we too are automatons,

In deepest philosophical sense free will not well defined or it's nonsensical statement. Albert Einstein said it well:

“Honestly, I cannot understand what people mean when they talk about the freedom of the human will. I have a feeling, for instance, that I will something or other; but what relation this has with freedom I cannot understand at all. I feel that I will to light my pipe and I do it; but how can I connect this up with the idea of freedom? What is behind the act of willing to light the pipe? Another act of willing? Schopenhauer once said: Der Mensch kann was er will; er kann aber nicht wollen was er will (Man can do what he will but he cannot will what he wills).”

Great effort and I have no dispute with the methodology. The conclusion, however, is naïve. Specifically this part:

"Great developer experience shouldn’t come at the expense of the user experience."

Great developer experience can conceivably deliver better user experience. A more capable, responsive and lower defect application that load 10% slower may be a net improvement.

I'm not arguing that CSS-in-JS actually delivers that. Only that load times aren't the only variable in the "user experience" equation.
Probably not. I work at a generally generous company that doesn’t pay too much attention to expensive pens etc. they would order anything you wanted though but most devs are happy with a biro and spiral notebook.
People do. Lots of people.

These ones, who were busted, are greedy violent thugs. They do not know who to trust because they are untrustworthy.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
I think your first point gets to a tradeoff that isn't much discussed about hooks- they can be elegant and simple, but only assuming quite a bit of upfront knowledge about how they work.

It's almost like taking the verbosity of class lifecycle methods, and 'pre compiling' it into a form which is terser, yes, but that now only a sufficiently informed reader can grok - the lifecycle is still there, it just has to be modelled by the reader instead of by the code.

Sometimes this is a good tradeoff, but not always.
Deploying point defense technologies over a city/civilian targets has some obvious problems, though.

Lasers, electronic countermeasures, tangly stuff, etc, are much more attractive than systems that fire thousands of cannon rounds per minute or that launch explosive missiles.
Dunno, do agile rockets dodge? Or just follow a simple preprogrammed patterns (like low, then pop up to attack from above)?

Not sure a CIWS system that can hit a mach 2 missile that doesn't dodge would necessarily handle the same $$$ spent on a N cheaper drones. How many minutes of firing do modern CIWS systems typically have?

Loitering at max engagement range and dodging might well end up using ammo at a rate that the CIWS can not sustain.

Also I suspect any CIWS can get a kill on just about any part of a missile, where drones often have very small kill zones (often battery or gas, payload, motor(s), and control) that might well be just a few % of the size of the drone.

I googled the phalanx, looks like it typically has a drum of ammo that lasts for about 3 seconds. Is that 3 drones worth? 10? 100?

I remember many years ago, outside programming I had a moderate interest in biology. I recall looking into bioinformatics, and reading about Python, but also about how popular Perl was in field. This was 5-10 years ago, though the sources I was reading very likely could have been 15 years old or more.
If only there was some way to discover how things worked... Some website where you could type “how react hooks work” and get dozens of articles and blog posts explaining it.
>Only once. Everyone has paid attention, and the next drone attacks will be suitably defended against.

no. Azerbajan/Turkey went into it only after verifying that it works, to the devastating effect, against the Russian made air-defenses in Syria and Libya. Now Ukraine has bought these drones and is starting their production. In the next year or two we'll see them being used to the same great effect in Donbass. So far Russia hasn't managed to come up with any meaningful defense. If anything the recognition of the issue has only started to dawn on them, and by the time they manage something the Turkish/Ukranian (they discuss collaborative development) drones will improve another level up - drone capabilities at the current stage (beginning of the hockey stick) are much faster to improve - add speed, a bit of stealth, [partial] autonomy, coordinated swarming. It is a new paradigm shifting generation of warfare like iron navy ships, machine guns, planes, missiles, etc. were in their respective times.
How do you separate wealth building from consumption? If you buy 10 art pieces that could be an investment or an aesthetic/decorating choice. If you buy a TV it's almost certainly going to be worth nothing in a a few years.
Good. This’ll even the playing field for competitors. It’ll be a net win for humanity.
I've never had any of those problems, but this tool looks well. What is the effectiveness of CBT? Is it comparable to medication?

And developer question - what tool did you use to create that page? Some no-code or other thing?
I remember the early of days of Bitcoin, when Apple was rejecting wallet apps by default. I was honestly surprised that they relented: from consumer safety, to regulatory concerns, to 30% protectionism, they have every incentive (from their walled-garden/theme-park philosophy) to categorically ban on-device wallets.

> There's no practical way for Apple to prove that any app won't betray the user.

This is honestly a fundamental problem with both the App Review model, and the very concept of cryptocurrency (which for the record, I'm positively inclined towards, both technologically and ideologically):

- The Review model because the developer doesn't actually submit code, and static analysis tools can only go so far. Even if Apple started requiring source (opening many thorny IP liability issues), no reviewer can realistically audit every line. Even then, the mere fact WebViews are trivially common means a developer (or a malicious hacker) can always swap out the web backend with phishing attacks, credit card scams, etc.

- The cryptocurrency model because while it tells a story of "trustless" interaction and autonomy, in practice even the most knowledgable techies end up having to outsource trust to developers, firms, and communities. While it tends to be a safe bet to trust a highly-trafficked community GitHub over a random .ru site, (a) it still requires making a trust decision on imperfect information, and (b) non-technical users suffer an agent-principal dilemma when it comes time to make those decisions, which is a prerequisite to actually use crypto-currency. There are many, many shortcomings to the central-banking state currency model; but at least it has a pretty well-defined UX to the average "holder", and some hope of recourse in the event of a scam.

FWIW, browser-based wallets (with or without client-side storage) do exist, and would probably be used more heavily on iOS if Apple were to forbid native wallets. In which case, it's possible the guy who lost his life savings would have gotten scammed by a "trusted" web app instead.
I actually do hugely appreciate and am amazed by technical side of Bitcoin.
Yet what Bitcoin became as a whole appalls me.

e.g. one can be amazed by nuclear physics yet dislike nuclear weapons.
Or appreciate chemistry by hate meth cooks.

You sound as if you aren’t aware of wifi beam antennas that can connect from about a mile away, or aware that drones can be equipped with multi-array wifi antennas.
Your broader points could very well be valid.

There isn't anything quite as true to the seasteading ideal as stealing someone's artwork and refusing to attribute or pay them for it.

But at the end of the day your infrastructure is essentially data not code. Your infrastructure is permanent, it exists even if it isn't being used it has inertia. At the end of the day your "infrastructure" is really just an entry in a database of a cloud provider, it is data not code.

I think we are seeing things come full circle again where people are finding the limitations of declarative infrastructure tools and decreeing declarative infrastructure dead and moving back to imperative infrastructure tools like Salt or Ansible.

Does anyone else feel that the infrastructure tooling environment/space is in the same place the JS world was 5 years ago?
> It's that they actively enjoy hurting someone as a mob.

The "mob" analogy is a bad one here. Sending mean tweets and a group beating someone to death in a town square are nowhere near equivalent.
But market share of what? No one pays for web search so that's not really a market.

Facebook has 90%+ market share of social media. Do they have a monopoly?

GitHub has a 90%+ market share of open source code hosting. Do they have a monopoly?

They may not be pure, but they are still functional. The hooks follow similar laws to Monads. They aren't entirely monadic and it would have been nice if they were and used a more monadic combinator for bind [1], but they are a relatively pragmatic solution for a language without a strong type system to encode things like algebraic effects and monadic bindings in.

[1] Mostly useless aside: using a .then()able based plumbing would have opened up the possibility of using the async/await combinator language. The names async/await would give the wrong impression especially prior to the actual concurrency changes to eventually ship in React 18, but would have potentially been a more monadic fit.
Yeah, that's why to google something means advertising and not searching for something on the internet.

I don't think the loans actually need to be structured like that to achieve the same effect. You can just pay off the loan by taking out another loan.

There would be some risk that you couldn't get another loan, but if you're only borrowing 10% of your net worth, it's probably an extremely small risk.
one way to put it, if amazon stock lost 98% of its value, Bezos would still have over 1 billion dollars worth of it.

The day to day fluctuations may be relatively meaningless, but the amount of wealth controlled via it is very real.
The simplest split with potential to start addressing concerns in this particular lawsuit is to break the index that results from google's web crawling out into a utility.

With competing "engines" (defined as a ranking algorithm and frontend to query said algorithm) building from the same, high-quality index competition in the search space could get much better.

Engines such as DuckDuckGo relying on Bing for the majority of their index is a decent example of how this might work.
If an advertising company didn't have access to your search history, there would be a more level playing field
But I have multiple choices for email, search, video hosting and browsers. I don’t have any choice for water, electricity, sewer, on any other public utility.

I am sure there are a bunch of people on here that don’t use any Google products and are using DuckDuckGo, Firefox, ProtonMail, Vimeo. There are many choices.
Two different disciplines though. It depends if you want to train your coders on how to test effectively.
Not saying you shouldn’t and maybe there is a hidden advantage in doing so. But it’s definitely not a clearcut decision.

Even if they can it’s a hat switching thing. Building something from 9-10 and then trying to break the shit out of it from 10–11 requires some mental discipline.

For quality I’d rather have testers. Developers will test their own work anyway if they know shit work will be sent back.

Maybe not the state, but the Republican leadership is. There are vanishingly few moderate Republicans left in any office in the country.
The world is increasingly winner-take-all, so its hard to do that. Very few people want to use the second best search engine instead of the best, or constantly use multiple search engines. Seems like a natural monopoly to me. How can you complain about a weak-willed government in a post showing the opposite anyways?
Don’t worry. I’m not at all offended. It’s a good faith discussion. :)

I think I agree more than I disagree. A few points:

1. Note that Buffet and Gates have both pledged to give half their wealth to charity in their lifetimes. Is your concern that half is too little, that it’s charity and not taxes, or something else?

2. For me personally, quite frankly, I absolutely struggle with the question of how much I should give. I could afford to give more than I do without impacting my lifestyle, and while I don’t live high on the hog maybe my lifestyle should be impacted. I struggle with this, because there’s no obvious answer—if you’re lucky enough to have disposable income, you can always afford to give a little more, no?

My personal view is that what I save now will go to charity when I (and my partner) die, so I don’t worry too much about it—I’m sure at that point the need will be as great as it is now. But I do think these are difficult questions, and I would certainly forgive anyone for having no pat answer to them.

Then again, there’s always the question of extremes. A la Peter Singer (I think), should I donate a kidney to a stranger? For me, utilitarianism says yes, but I just can’t bring myself to do that.

So is it possible I’m being less than fully rational and some of this is guilt assuaging? Yeah, I think so. But anyone as lucky as we are who doesn’t feel a bit of, well, if not guilt, then somehow conflicted about it is someone I really wonder about.
> Also I suspect any CIWS can get a kill on just about any part of a missile, where drones often have very small kill zones (often battery or gas, payload, motor(s), and control) that might well be just a few % of the size of the drone.

I guarantee you that just grazing a drone with a 20mm round will still kill it, even if you don't "hit" anything critical. :P

Haven't seen the Reeve edition, but yes, the Republic is diving into the deep end.
The Americans of Bosnian, Croatian, Montenegrin and Serbian origin must really be doing crappy if Yugoslav is in the lower bucket while Slovene and Macedonian are in the higher. Or maybe it is filtering out immigrants who weren't born while that country existed (soooo... before 1918? And after 1992?)
Humans don’t learn from abstract definitions: I agree very very much with that.

The definition comes later. When people learn math concepts, the definition is in fact often of surprisingly little value. They need to see examples, make examples, play around with instances and applications of the “thing”, to gain intuition and finally come back to the definition.

The abstract definition is also often (usually? always?) something that the person who came up with it also only came up with after finding the abstraction of otherwise concrete things they were working with.

Try understanding Fourier transforms, or worse, Laplace, from their definition alone. Unless you have an idea of what’s happening already, it’s extremely hard. Work with the concept for a while, and the definition appears laughably simple!

Once you did that, look up the definition of a Hilbert transform. What is that?! But in practice, it’s just “multiply all complex frequencies by j” or, much more intuitively: “rotate all phasors by 90°… i.e. put them on their side”. Unlike with the previous example, you might happily work with this one and use it a lot, and still be mystified by its definition.

And, yes, I only finally understood and later fully embraced Monads by “just using them” for a while. Now the concept is clear and they are everywhere. Use them even more, and you run into situations where Monads are not enough in practice. And now you’ve made the first step towards Arrows!
The meme of "if you don't speak up, you're complicit" is part of this.

I appreciate the sentiment, but there are just too many (terrible!) inequities in the world to live by this and not have it be a full time preoccupation.

If looking at raw CPU speed is what makes a console fun for you, and creativity doesn't matter at all, this is clearly not your platform. Some of us have different metrics for what makes game platforms fun that aren't just it costs less than a 24 pack of pepsi, 8000 choices of softcore pornography mahjong games, and how many polygons you can throw on a screen while cooking an egg on the graphics card.

The Alibaba consoles are just straight up creativity death - their business model is to bottom feed what tiny value remains out of old games they didn't make. Their long term accomplishment, should society be awful enough to let them solely succeed, will be the death of any ability to make new games or innovate in any way, leaving the entire non-Nintendo industry to just bottom feed compete with each other on slightly cheaper consoles in an eventual race to the bottom, while Nintendo releases the 600th version of Mario Kart, because it's easier and safer for them to copy than to innovate.

Playdate has a real chance to inject some creativity, competition, and openness to the platform world, and there's nothing especially novel about that to anyone that has read the history of computing and knows what games like Spacewar did. These kinds of "novelties" have a way of changing everything in ways nobody can really understand at the time.
