Yeah, this gets messed up when money is the expression of value. Any profession with leverage will make more money, without necessarily being more valuable. Same way a HFT/quant fund manager makes more than my kid’s schoolteacher, or even my kid’s doctor, but the teacher and doctor are far more valuable than the fund manager.
I coordinated a testing center where we piloted antigen tests.

Antigen tests are less sensitive, applicable in a much more narrow time frame than PCR tests, and not as trivial to perform correctly as suggested in the media. On top of that, they can be sensitive to external factors as well (such as temperature swings for tests in storage, and fast expiration).

I dislike these antigen tests due to the false sense of security they give people. They have their uses, but they are not a substitute for PCR tests.

There's a reason why influenza antigen tests are not widespread.

But what if one of your contributors slips in a merge that uses the vulnerable code path of your dependency... Does this "not affected" marker still exist, and now you have vulnerable code? Does it disappear with each version?

What if someone maliciously adds a "not affected" marker? To a package they intend to exploit?

The underlying problem I see that Tailwind solves is component-izing a single idea. And that it doesn't get in the way with opinions like Bootstrap, et al. It does that pretty well. You can point to a single stack of code and say "this one thing is a navbar" and it's easy to know where to make changes. No searching, no stress.

What I haven't seen Tailwind do well on my projects is respond to change in the same way other methods would. I'm not saying it isn't possible, just that the several projects I've seen, it was a big pain.

A method I've been quite fond of to accomplish the same task, but remove the difficulties this author's other posts articulate, is to recreate the concept of a component in a single folder. Much like you would a Vue single-file component. If you read the "Components" heading here you'll get a good feel for it by looking at the folder/file structure:

* https://github.com/flyntwp/flynt#components

That same idea I've enabled in a framework/language-agnostic way with an NPM module I created (not public). It watches the folder, namespaces css/js like a single-file Vue component would (using a manifest name or defaults to the folder name). It's a freeing feeling to create a folder and just start coding sass and js without having to wire anything together. As it's auto-namespaced, sass files are very clean too, you can use generic naming like ".heading" without a problem.

This solution is nice because:

1. devs get the "one source of editing" in a single folder. Even image assets or your language's logic files.

2. Immense benefit with static analysis tools. Want to assert all your components have a readme.md? or generate docs from all component readmes? Sure.

3. it's performant, with vendor/tree-shaking and inheritance built in. Also parallel build execution of all components.

4. it's agnostic to language/frameworks. Include any linters or unit tests you want.

5. is a paradigm shift from themes to components, just like Tailwind

6. No more wiring together components! specify a global like Vue or your favorite sass package, and all components can inherit it

7. Simple setup.. all you do is point to a folder of components, specify a dist folder, and you're done unless you want to modify specific behaviors

I'm curious if there are Tailwinders out there who could teach me if Tailwind solves other problems I'm not seeing. Or if this type of solution would be something I should open source. It ends up being a pretty simple Webpack file under the hood, and it has been an absolute dream to work with over the past year.
Trump is not a right wing politician and his supporters aren't either. He's a populist who was a major donor to the democrats while he was a real estate developer and his political stances jump all over the map based on popularity, power, loyalty and personal vendettas.

Nobody at the capitol was there because of any sort of policy, law or philosophical idealogy that in any way represents right wing political thought. They were there because Trump told them vote fraud was happening and they believe him more than the people saying the vote was legitimate.

Following along with your reply and the essay, who is to say that the elves are not simply humans with force fields?

I’d say it was because the VAX (and the PDP-11 family that preceded it) has one of the cleanest instruction sets of any processor family that was ever extensively used. It was almost as easy as C to program in its assembly language.

Yes, Canada does. The Queen is Head of State, who appoints a governor general to rule in her place. Effectively though, the Queen appoints a governor general on the advice of the prime minister. The Governor General and the Queen are constitutionally the "Crown" in Canada.

The Governor General is mostly ceremonial, but is mostly a case of Chesterton's Fence. The Crown is an important safety value for when things are abnormal. For example, the Governor General of Canada in 2008 essentially chose who would be prime minister (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008%E2%80%932009_Canadian_par...). The issue that arose was that, during a hung parliament, the opposition announced that they would vote non-confidence in the government at the next opportunity and intended to form a coalition. The prime minister at the time instead went to the Governor General to request prorogation, ending the parliamentary session.

This was a crisis that required judgement by the governor general. The prime minister clearly no longer held the confidence of the House, but not officially. On the other hand, the governor general is constitutionally required to follow the advice of the prime minister. She chose to follow the prime minister and prorogue Parliament for better or for worse. I'm not a legal scholar and I think the Governor General got it right, but having an independent individual make these decisions is a feature, not a bug.
>"Police violence is a leading cause of death for young men in the United States. Over the life course, about 1 in every 1,000 black men can expect to be killed by police."

These soundbytes usually (intentionally) omit half of the story. For example, how many police officers are being killed in encounters with black men?

And how many less lethal (for black men) encounters would there be with black men not attacking officers or third persons but actually complying with police orders?

The greatest danger to a black person's life only second to coronary diseases is another black person.

It's these kind of questions which grievance studies activists and journalists never (dare to) ask.

You don't necessarily have to engage in predatory pricing if you can sell in such volume that you can get better prices than a mom and pop as well as offering a one stop shop for most consumers. You don't even need to raise prices once the competition is gone simply because you are already making a decent profit.
My own observations of this are that it only works in smaller areas where there isn't enough critical mass to support a lot of choice in markets.

Where I live, we have WalMart, Target, other national "big box" retailers, three different supermarket chains, and a pretty wide variety of locally-owned small specialty retailers.

Could a town of 10,000 support this kind of diversity in retail? No. So there, WalMart wins. Before WalMaret, there was more local retail, but they were barely making a living.

The article isn't actually about housing being unaffordable. It says housing is unavailable.

They could build more housing, but no one wants to get caught holding the bag if the boom turns to a bust as the world returns more to normal.

And even if they did choose to build the housing, housing next year doesn't solve the issue of housing today.

That said, where I live we are building plenty of housing but we still can't fill jobs. Why exactly is hard to say, but general consensus is that government unemployment benefits are currently compelling enough that people will trade taking a hit on their income in exchange for not having to work. Can't blame them, I guess.

Seems like a painful readjustment in the coming years as we unwind all the emergency decisions we made last year.

The problem is that American housing prices have very little to do with actual supply and demand, but are valued almost-exclusively by their proximity to density. (i.e, "location"). The density is the solution to the physics problem, but that same density is simultaneously the root cause of the cost problem. Americans can't just build empty cities and have people move into them, until America stops financially punishing people for moving into those buildings.

It's not a "woke fear" of gentrification. It's simple fact-of-life stuff. Most Americans are either poor, or are one-or-two minor mistakes away from becoming poor (the so-called 'middle class'). Regardless of whether they own or rent, they all rightfully fear the explosion in cost of living, and are doing anything they can to get the gross financialization of living away from their own lives.

And, as most policy exists in the US today, if you increase density anywhere in the US, all housing nearby instantly becomes more expensive (regardless of whether wages are rising or falling, regardless of whether the population is growing or shrinking, regardless of any actual human behaviour elsewhere). People, rightfully, are scared shitless this will happen to them.

And they can't directly fight it, because it's literally federal policy -- comparables are how all mortgages are underwritten, and comparables don't care who actually did what, and are trivial to game.

Oh, this building has rents that are completely unsustainable for the local population? Who cares, they're on the market, so they're part of the "market rate" now. Oh, some rich guy got mad that Americans got a trivial amount of emergency cash during the pandemic, and is now ranting about "Fiat Currencies" and "Hyper-inflation", so decided to convert his spare cash into property to sit on it? Guess Mom and Pop now have to compete against him when home shopping, that's "just the way things are". Oh, this building got purchased at 3x what it's actually worth, because an investment firm panicked over getting caught shorting GameStop stock earlier this year and has nowhere better to park it's spare cash with zero risk? Comparables don't give a shit, every real human has higher rents and higher housing prices, just to make those specific people happy.

In a neoliberal Econ-101-only world view, all that mess "counts as demand" and must be "serviced by supply", just as if they were all real people needing a real place to live.

So, someone who has only taken Econ 101, thinks the fix is always as simple as "build baby build, it's just supply and demand, duh". They usually get their way (in every place that's not SF/BayArea), and then they wonder incredulously why all the real people left and no one can afford to live there anymore.

"I don't understand why people making $36k/yr won't pay $2k/month for our studio micro-apartments. I guess we just didn't gentrify enough. We'll just keep ramping up the gentrification, because that's what Econ 101 theory says to do. ".
I have a completely layman theory that that’s what dreams are. Worn out pathways that our ego or consciousness is not letting through to us, but are being used in our subconscious, being able to manifest themselves finally. That’s why we can see things that are bothering us or on our mind in the background there
Here's an example:

https://www.newyorker.com/news/us-journal/can-infrastructure... "The housing stock is old, and much of it is dilapidated. (You can buy a single-family home for less than fifty thousand dollars.)"

Force some highly paid remote workers to move there and get some more money circulating somewhere that needs it instead of these trendy places.

Sure, you gotta trample all over what highly-paid people want, but no big deal, right? It's for the greater good? Not really any different from trampling over what poorer people currently living somewhere low-density want, if you drop a bunch of high-density development on them, right?

Should junior developers blog about what they learn?
I have always had a dream of having a self-built blog where I share what I learn. Not for any ulterior motives but just to share my experiences, as I do not like the ecosystem social media platforms have built.

But now, that I am all setup and have written a few articles, I am concerned if I should be spending time writing articles just for fun.
All the "blogging as a career" content out there seems to make me feel like aspiring to just blog as a hobby is a pipe-dream.

So I want to ask, is anyone out there blogging for fun anymore?
Nonsense.

Nature is not "an enemy", it's where you're coming from and what you're made of and what you're living in.

It's something to deal with, for sure. However treating nature as "the enemy" is precisely the model of thinking that brought us here and now, on the verge of being erased by the consequences of our own actions, human-as-a-conquerer.

Before talking of nature's trappings, we might as well better talk about human's owns. Our survival instinct saved us within a specific frame in which we could act. When our whole biome disappears or stops working for us, being part and dependent of it, we disappear as well.

This hasn't been true for at least 20 years. There's a classic paper showing evidence of this in 1993 (O'Keefe and Reece) in rats. And has been an active area of discussion both before and since.

Any time someone who's not me or a direct party to a transaction or conversation learns something about me then that is a "leak".

If I do business with my bank then the bank should have no right to sell my information to a third party for any reason whatsoever.

If I do business with my hair stylist then the credit card processor should not have any right whatsoever to do anything with the facts:

- where was the hair stylist? That's private.

- who was the hair stylist? That's private.

- when was I at the hair stylist? That's private.

- what did the hair stylist sell? That's private.

- why did I go to the hair stylist? That's private.

Nobody except my hair stylist and myself should have this information.
The context is that we're primarily a design company, the front-end is a way to express our designs.

A big reason for me is that I want the bigger group in our company to experiment with several CSS techniques to grow as front-end developers. If I (as a manager) set a constraint on one type of CSS it is difficult to learn more.

As an agency it makes sense to have broad capabilities. I think as a freelancer it's super fine to just constrain yourself to what you like, as you state there is huge demand out there.

Is that correct? That is true for certain very specific types of crime like money laundering, where bankers are expected to prove to themselves that the source of funds is legitimate.

But honest question, wouldn't those years of wrestling with the right UI framework be better spent learning the underlying CSS rules and adopting a simple pre-processor that gives you programmatic generation for repetitive bits?

Because in the end, tailwind is better than bootstrap, but it's still the wrong way and incentivises wrong patterns.

And by making it "standard" it makes everybody new to the field start with it and use it, foregoing learning the CSS. And will be supplanted at some point, and then there'll be the dance again. And again. It's just this that I don't understand.

At the point you're customising tailwind and classes you run into the same problems as with CSS without clear guidelines/organisation. So the only way to not run into that it's to use it as inline styles but with classes...
> Printer drivers haven't run in the kernel since NT 4.0.

I wish that's true, and the APIs are there (and should be used!), but except for incompetence I don't know how some drivers still have that kernel-side code (unless DRM? And if it is, why?)

I even thought that the 64-bit and Vista driver reset have banished kernel-level drivers, but in the past 6 months I still see printer drivers with kernel-level components. I just scratch my head why?

(Some of them are for PCI (yes, not a typo) connector, which is reasonable but weird for a printer. Others are running to printer port and USB but the kernel-level components are still there, active according to Device Manager).

I don't see 1031 exchange mentioned much in the discussions of housing problems. People who own real estate absolutely lose their shit when this is brought up as something that should go away which is by itself a pretty good indicator. There's so much tax collection being 'lost' on this it's something that should be repealed but likely won't.

I have also noticed that although people are recognizing their is a massive growing homeless population in all cities, particularly the west coast, it gets pushed away as just a bunch of drug users on fent, instead of realizing the bulk of these people became homeless in the last 3 years as housing and rentals have blown up in costs without wages matching.

There's so little resources for the people at the bottom suffering homelessness, the only thing keeping a lot of people housed right now is the soon-expiring eviction moratoriums.
