Right. We gave a lot of thought (and iterations...) to why those tools felt like they are holding developers back instead of making them faster, and why were they ultimately abandoned.

We believe the answer is that one-way code generation is a trap: if you export code from a tool which cannot be edited by a human and then read back into the tool, it is going to end up being edited by a human anyways, but the tool will be abandoned for that file / project.

So we made it our number one priority that Utopia must work with any valid javascript/React code. There is a happy path where we can understand a lot of that code and populate the inspector and enable editing on the Canvas, but even if you veer off the happy path, Utopia is still going to be able to parse/preserve all of your code, and render it on the Canvas as well.

This means that if an application gets complex and a team of people start working on it, making refactors to the code, write complex components, add any kind of state management, etc, people on the team who use Utopia will still be able to open the code and make changes to the design.

One thing hugely working in our favor is React and its functional reactive component paradigm. If you look at an individual component, the JSX part is just about parseable enough for us to be able to reason about it and update it while preserving the javascript code that surrounds it. This means we can avoid printing ugly machine-generated code around them to be able to track the changes. ( for example we don't need to litter the code with markers like <!-- 53170a63-315f-4bb0-9f32 --> )
Plus, as React applications grow in size and complexity, most of the individual components remain small and simple. This means that if you open a real produciton React app in Utopia, there is a good chance you will find leaf components that are used for the actual content rendering, and you will be able to make changes to those without creating a mess.

> I think in one of the early chapters the book describes a war, a war of 10 kings it is called. Leaving the mystical elements aside this war would shape future of India and Persia going forward.

In fact, it may have echoed forward directly for centuries. The daasharajna yuddha, as it is called in Sanskrit, may have both inspired the epic Mahabharata composed centuries later, and which is also centered on a great war.

Even more, the tribes and kingdoms that participated in Mahabharata war may have been descendants of Sudas from the battle of 10 kings. They are certainly cultural descendants, as they carried forward the story of the 10 Kings' Battle in the Vedas.

We also know with near certainty that those tribes mentioned in the Mahabharata inhabited the area spanning modern Afghanistan through the Gangetic plain [1], which is just east of the border region between the Vedic/Indian and Persian/Zoroastrian worlds.

In Australia we always have elections on Saturday. Works well for most people. Of course, there is a minority of people it doesn't work well for, such as people who have to work on Saturdays, and observant Jews.

And for those people we have early voting and postal voting too.

I never quite understand why voting is such a controversial topic in the US. In many countries (I'm sure Australia is not alone in this) it is a boring thing that just works. You might not always like the outcome, but the process itself rarely becomes the topic of discussion.

I think one thing that helps in Australia is that federal elections are completely controlled and run by the federal government. For federal elections, we don't have each state doing its own thing. Local government has no role to play in elections either. (Even local government elections are actually run by the state governments.)

Addendum: I must point out when I say "controlled and run by the federal government", they are run by an independent and non-partisan federal agency, politicians don't have direct control over them. Likewise, each state has an independent and non-partisan agency to run state and local elections
The working class does get Christmas off, though. With limited exceptions.

Which is my point.

And the idea of making election day a national holiday is a baby step, one capable of getting the ball rolling on real change, like extended voting windows and unrestricted mailed ballots.

Gotta start somewhere.
> One is a practical approach at making the best out of versioning.

I think the observation is that this is sort of going to inevitably fail, and people will get mad at you anyway (perhaps more mad than if you didn't have any semver promise to begin with).

Right, like say you maintain a library and refactor something in a patch version bump. It affects something that isn't a documented aspect of your api, but is nonetheless something I depend on. I complain to you that you broke me with a patch upgrade. Well who is right? You did break me. Should I continue to trust you? Should I pin to a patch version (this makes semver useless)? Should you take more care to not break observable behaviors? How can you even know which behaviors are depended on, many will be unknown unknowns!

The ultimate conclusion from this approach is that for a widely enough used api, you will always break someone, so you need to ship a migration story instead of a change, or you need a way to assert that your change won't break any of your users, which short of being able to run all of your dependencies tests isn't possible. This can be achieved in a corporate world, but not in the OSS world. And so yes, one of the fundamental truths of software engineering is that semver is fundamentally broken. It may be the best thing we've got, but it's absolutely not a magic pixie dust. You will still break your dependencies, and your dependencies will still break you, and you should prepare for that, semver or not.

I think it's in France where names are not published until after the person has been found guilty. If you're innocent until proven guilty then your name should be withheld until then as well.

I'm not following you. Your main point seemed to be that all holidays are major shopping days, citing Thanksgiving and Christmas. But Thanksgiving and Christmas are not actually major shopping days. And now you're pivoting to say its because employees are traveling? That doesn't make sense...

Personally, I'm in agreement with you in that idolization and martyr-ization of bad people is a real and serious problem. I can also imagine a dystopian future where such policies are taken too far, where all publicly accessible information looks like: Human #6789 perpetrated the event known as "the bowling green massacre". After conviction by confidential courts the individual has been sentenced to death. Do not question why your neighbor hasn't been seen in 5 weeks, please move along.

It doesn't "end read receipts", but it does end the validity of considering read receipts as a valid metric for users of Apple Mail.

By loading all images through proxy servers, any metrics on location, browser, and operating system are bogus.
By the by, I hadn't heard of Zoroastrianism until I read Peck's A Short Stay In Hell, where the main character finds out (at the beginning) that Zoroastrianism was the one true and correct religion. It's a quick read, I'd recommend it.

Dell has some app that will remember which screen stuff is on and move it back, but it doesn't work very well, and it's jarring, and so on.

I've always wondered why many other countries shut down for Christmas entirely yet have relatively low or no compulsory religious language in public institutions, or purity tests in politics and government.

You correctly pointed out two exceptions to US holidays where businesses tend to make their money before or after, but I'm pointing out they're the exception (because of travel) and I see no reason why Voting Day as a holiday would be like Thanksgiving/Christmas i.e. high amounts of travel, most likely it would result in an increase in local commerce and potentially be a way that would hurt the very people it's meant to help.

Probably it is harder to scale startups in Europe vs the US. But is that something nations should optimize for?

And if so, what priority should be given to "ease of rapid growth for startups" vs many other issues that determine economic growth and a population's well being?

Also, how much of the problem is due to the issues you raise vs other factors such amount of money spent in R&D? The US has a huge amount of "defense spending" but in fact a lot of that is dedicated to funding research in Universities and direct job creation. Maybe Europe just needs more research Universities, more labs and more state investment into technology. The recent Moderna breakthrough was in part due to a $25 million DARPA investment into the RNA vaccine idea.

As for the issues you mention; solving bureaucratic issues would make things more efficient, and it is definitely desirable. However, I would argue that a heterogeneous market (in terms of language and culture) is more of an advantage than a liability.

Having many cultures and languages could be akin to having biodiversity. Different outlooks in life, different ways of expressing ideas, different ways of thinking can contribute to the development of culture and technology. Look at the Galapago effect that languages had in early computing. The Japanese were able to develop their own vision of "computing" and came up with their own innovations due in part that early western computers couldn't handle Japanese.

Languages and cultures can serve as natural protectionist barriers that allow for each region to develop their own home industries, allowing them to catch up to the world while retaining significant chunks of new wealth creation for their own. Yes, wealth creation is good, but its also important to look at how wealth is distributed. Very unequal societies can break down and lose their cohesion. Cohesion and trust are important features of rich countries. Perhaps many of the issues the US dealing with is because of the huge level of inequalities it has.

Finally, is translation and localization really that hard? Is it that expensive to hire some sales & marketing staff in new markets where you could be making tons of money? I bet translation costs and such are less than a percentage of what Google spent expanding its search engine.

How do you personally benefit from an Amazon with fewer competitors? I’m not sure if even ordinary people who work for Amazon benefit.

I've read that these ads target you because by buying a dish washer your category went from "no idea" to "people who buy dish washers online". So while your chance of purchasing a dish washer right now might be low, as you just bought one, the calculated probability of you buying one has actually gone up.

Additionally, it alleviates the creepiness factor a bit ("they're so bad at tracking, they don't even realize I just bought one!", so you don't think about the perfect match with headphones you were just offered) and they might simply have missed the purchase.
It's largely because increased voting overwhelmingly (and almost exclusively) benefits one side in the US. While it's obviously good to have increased participation in democracy, the side that's going to more or less cease to exist if we ever get even 80% citizen participation obviously has an incentive to make voting harder.
It seems generic because it is very old, antisemitism was already a roman thing and even older.
The thing I like about this story is that all the facts fit.

The user may be explaining something that is crazy to you initially, but the first step is to gather the facts, THEN try to figure it out.

In this case, the seemingly unrelated step of telnet into SMTP gathered a few facts together which helped to explain it all.

I agree, there ought to be more original ideas in law, besides “Whatever earns me a plum clerkship.”
It’s controversial because the party in power sets the voting rules and they tend to try and do so to their advantage. Be it gerrymandering [1]districts or setting voting rules they think will favor their party. These rules are state level functions so we have 50 different sets.

It creates a system where on political party is pretty much guaranteed to win certain districts and they’re aren’t a ton of competitive races. Part of the problem is an electorate that would “vote for a bag of rocks” if it belonged to the right party.

It's something pretty close to this. Almost all mathematical expressions can't be integrated (up to the reader to formalise the definitions here). That is not quite the same claim as saying that the best method for solving an arbitrary integral is trial and error by systematically differentiating other expressions until you find the antiderivative.
Ah yes, sockpuppet. The term people use when they have good arguments.
