I switched to Flutter 2.5 years ago for frontend. The blessing of having incredibly well designed UI framework that gives you NATIVE iOS/Android/WEB/MacOS/Linux/Windows app from the single code (in a decent language and without a gram of html/css/js crap) is hard to describe. I'm stunned by how many devs yet to discover flutter.

Web frontend ecosystem is just a pile of hacks on top of hacks compared to what Flutter team and community has built over just few years.
I thought that they warn for these symptoms nowadays and ask you to get medical attention immediately and that you're basically fine with medical attention, right?

(In the early days of the vaccine, like ~March in the US, I think there were one or two deaths because the word hadn't gotten out that this was a symptom that required immediate medical attention. But I haven't heard of serious negative outcomes - death or long-term illness - recently.)

Military radio transmissions are encrypted using hardware-loaded pre-shared keys that never go over a network and are stored in guarded arms rooms behind many fences and thick concrete walls on military installations. Keys are rotated at least daily, often twice daily. Granting that I guess I wouldn't know if China actually managed to break US military encryption, but as far as I do know, our encryption never has been broken. "Classified" information would effectively be useless if so, since we have no choice but to still use the same backbone fiber lines as everyone else to get internetworking working (or radio, which is totally wide open no matter what), and end to end encryption is the only assurance we have that this information is not being intercepted.

Thank you for your feedback!

There are other projects that take an approach similar to what you're describing (Automerge and its derivatives, mainly).

I guess there is a distinction between distributed databases and permission-less p2p applications. Having a data center where you can trust the compute nodes running your distributed database is very different than having random untrusted peers over the net. But maybe data validation can be done in a less intrusive way, something like what Automerge does for JSON merging (maybe in a typed setting?).

That said, hyper-hyper-space is still work in progress, once we have a proper library of container types programming will be a bit more intuitive. Or so I hope, at least.

When it's quite clear that the media and the agencies are distorting the data, or at best have erroneous and uncorrected data, then trust is lost.

Ultimately, you do have to trust your source of said data, and that's precisely what's been discounted, several times. Maybe the COVID data is correct right now, but how does one really know? Not many of us go out and try to collect it ourselves.

This is patently false, do you think people didn't go to prison prior to the law change? In fact, so many people were risking prison time for petty theft that is what led to enacting the law in first place to deal with the overcrowding in the state prison system, as summed up in this layman article: https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-160551360299
It doesn't matter what the judicial branch says on paper. What matters is the process. In California, the decision to prosecute a misdemeanor must happen within 24 hours of that misdemeanor happening, otherwise it won't be pursued? Reclassifying something as a misdemeanor, when combined with other policy choices around misdemeanors, means that a fraction of them are actually prosecuted. So, you get your facts straight, please.

I agree, but I suspect this was also what was believed when they originally did it and adversaries found very clever ways to find that cookie store - that part at least is true, which is why I bother mentioning it, given the complexity of browsers it is likely very daunting to redesign this kind of thing around the existing features. Anyways, I'm glad I'm not working on browsers, it seems like an ever-losing cat and mouse.
Not to downplay the seriousness of theft, but there's something to be said about the scale. A few people working in an uncoordinated fashion is a crime problem; a structured group essentially working in symbiosis with a retailer's systems (and its blindspots) sounds more like a system design issue on the community and company level. Why do these people need or even want to steal so much? How can a company sustain these kinds of losses? It seems like there are inefficiencies to consider from several vantage points.

I think intelligence starts when the internal system controlling behavior develops a model of the outside environment and operates on it to drive decisions. That is, behavior is not through a simple physical mechanism or evolutionarily refined control system, but by means of general purpose model making.

Intelligence has degrees that begins with any abstraction and ends with arbitrary conscious theorizing and decision making (and a metric of how effective this ability is).

I've found the way to reduce churn the most is discard frameworks and DSLs whenever possible.

This morning, I rewrote a page of frontend code for a scheduling webapp. I'd initially built it in TS/React years ago. Switched to Rust/WASM with a custom VDOM-based framework a year ago.

I'm reasonably confident I won't rewrite it again in a new framework: the new page is an HTML document with an included JS script that performs standard DOM manipulations using the API described on MDN. The code's now insulated from changing dependencies because it has none. And the page loads fast.

I don't think devs haven't found it, it's a combination of:

- They found it too early and it was pretty broken (I fit in this camp a little)

- They found it and consider Dart a step back from the main languages on most platforms. Dart feels closer to Java/ObjC than Kotlin/Swift for those who are in the mobile space and know what that transformation was like. (I mostly fit in this camp)
These aren't "poor people." They make a good tax-free living from stealing.

I think it is worth taking a step back to note that the mere copying of a trademark is not a trademark infringement.

That clause is there (in GPLv3) to clarify that someone can reiterate their trademark rights while using GPLv3, but only as much as it doesn’t affect the licensing of the copyrighted work.

It is saying that GPLv3 is not compatible with a phrase about trademarks that would restrict copyright, like: “if you say this is for Debian then you can’t copy it”

The natural state of trademark law is that you can mention other people’s trademarks. You can say your project is compatible with Debian. You just can’t use them to misrepresent yourself to consumers. That’s law, not GPL.
The last source actually presents a table which shows "Education" is the best paying field for women, whereas "Finance/Insurance" is the best paying field for men; and "Information services" is not the best paying field for either sex, although it is near the top. In the USA, in contrast, "Education" is definitely not competitive with tech as far as salaries.

These are not the kind of sources I would use to study these things, by the way, because they break things down by industry or profession rather than role and these sources use incredibly broad "industry" and "profession" categories.
Of course. The private platform argument once again.

GoDaddy is a private domain name service and anyone who is violating their terms of service can be booted off the service. The site owners are just going to find another one (Like Epik) and they will host them anyway.

When are the so-called 'hacktivists' going to tell Google Inc. to terminate their ReCAPTCHA service off of the website then?

The so-called 'hacktivists' don't like what the site is saying (neither do I) but if this site is still going to be up somewhere else where it can't be taken down and that law ends up still being in effect well, I guess these methods of deplatforming and script-kiddie form attacks are a waste of time for them.

There are other ways of getting rid of this law than these methods which can also be done to anyone else.
This is pretty much why I've avoided professionally doing front-end dev. The investment of time seems basically guaranteed to be worthless in less than 2yrs.

I posted this for the benefit of people who might be interested of what one person's experience was like who came down with this: what does it mean to have this inflammation surrounding the heart.

>>> But also make room for those who want to “go belowdecks” and fool around with the engine.

I admired Kawasaki, but I don't think he had that much clout at Apple. This was the part that Apple never got. Indeed, not too many years later, Apple announced to the business press that they were going to de-emphasize engineering applications and focus on their core strengths in the arts and education.

I remember an article by Kawasaki proclaiming that the Mac was going to be the go-to platform for an emerging field called Embedded Systems. Virtually no embedded systems tooling was ever developed for the Mac. I created Mac hardware by programming it on an MS-DOS machine. I'm grateful that MacOS and MS-DOS let me bypass the Windows 3.1 era.

I am not sure that Windows was any better, but Windows allowed dropping back to MS-DOS mode and creating ugly-but-works tooling. Then Visual Basic came along and made it easy. And today, anything I'm like to do with "the engine" will preferably involve Linux.
I seem to recall that fda and maybe other regulatory agencies have said that approval of modified-payload mRNA vaccines will be quicker. I recall that Pfizer has tests for a delta variant shot underway and I (naively) hope they can include several mRNA sequences in the next booster. Otherwise, it’s just reloading the body’s antibody load. As the entire spike protein is presented, there’s no guarantee that each person’s antibodies are the same or even one variety. This differs from the monoclonal antibodies from Lilly and Regeneron which work as-is.
This isn't an ad hominem.

Ad hominem is where you aim to refute the argument someone is making by impugning the character of the person making it. Obviously, it doesn't follow that because someone is a bad person, that what they say is wrong.

"Don't believe this guy, he's an asshole" would be an ad hominem argument.

But this is not an ad hominem argument being made here. They are, instead, making the logical claim that, based on the attitudes described, the person comes across as an asshole.

They aren't then saying that that invalidates their arguments - they are taking the author's arguments at their face, and inferring the person's character from them.

Which seems to be a mode of argument you're comfortable with, since you've just done the same to the person you replied to.
The "witches" people were afraid of during the witch-trials were accused of worshiping and consorting with the devil to cast harmful spells or undermine the Christian virtue of a community. Those witches were the product of mass hysteria and opportunistic hatred, and almost certainly never existed.

You say that but my exposure to Rust was through HN.

That same team I'd sit down and chat with the CS PhD majors that were doing machine learning. It genuinely surprised me when a brilliant student said he'd never heard of Rust.

TIOBE is a garbage metric, but Rust's numbers are paltry there. It's key to some really important projects, but it still isn't a widely-used language.
Sort of. The ceramic is designed to shatter using as much energy as possible. After spreading the remaining energy sad much as possible. The bullet shattering is only important if it's high powered armor piercing rounds. Otherwise it's usually bc it's a hollow point or is incidental.

But there are lots of different theories and designs.
No one considers that perhaps ever-increasing inequality in the Bay Area has also increased both the incentive to commit crime and the disincentive to prosecute it. It would stand to reason that the people who are desperate would be more desperate than ever, while the people who are well-off would be more able to eat the costs than ever. No one is happy but the dynamic is grotesquely sustainable.
Interesting, I'd never thought about niche front-end frameworks from the rust / elixir live-view camps in this way. Totally makes sense though!

I'm still mildly convinced there's a front-end engineering bootcamp / JS framework industrial complex operating behind the scenes.
They more often are than aren't. If that's not the case, that would be surprising to me.

> What part of the “mess with Snowden” do you count as incompetence? The exfiltration approach he describes in his book does sound like run-of-the-mill incompetence if taken at face value, but that’s hardly the part that people were (and, I hope, still are) miffed about.

That's what I am talking about. And to be honest I find it a bigger problem than the content of the leaks (the part most people are angry about). In fact, the worst is when you combine the two.

That the NSA spies is to be expected, that's part of their job, they overstepped their borders and it is a problem, but at least, that alone doesn't fail their mission. But that they let Snowden leave with a stash of secret documents, to Russia no less means that an agency for which half of the mission is to keep secrets couldn't keep secrets. And Snowden is just a whistleblower who exposed everything, how many actual spies covertly leaked data before him?

So now there is an agency that stores tremendous amount of data about everything including its own people, and can't keep it secure, great!

And I completely agree with your second point about the enemies of the US. In fact, I suspect that the main reason for that ridiculously wide surveillance is to justify big budgets and to make sure everyone keep their job, and maybe even hire a few friends and relatives.
