> by the JavaScript ecosystem and 'needing' to keep up with the latest tools/frameworks/libraries?

The struggle to keep up with JS feels more like a meme to me than anything else. I've been a professional front end dev for 5 years and have never felt this alleged pressure.

There hasn't been a new player worth noticing in the front end framework space in years. Tune out the noise and learn the fundamentals. Choose tooling that does what you need out of the box. You don't need to know everything to get started.
Why should people stop creating personal projects so you can keep up? The problem is you keep adopting and thinking they'll be your silver bullet. You're being sold snake oil. Recognizing fads is something we each need to learn.
Pay attention to them, build context around them, but use proven technology. You don't have to be the early adopter.
why did you put "donated" in quotes?
Advertising doesn't just show the product being consumed (not that modern pornography shows just sex). But, take cola commercials as an example. You barely see the product in these advertisements anymore, just the branding associated with the product. What you see are actionable items to associate with the item; sexy men and women, a luxurious lifestyle, fun, friends, wealth. They're associating a lifestyle with the brand in a Pavlovian way, so when you see the logo on the side of the box, or the can, you don't even think cola anymore, you think lifestyle. That's what a hundred years of advertising has taught us.
Sorry I just disagree, and starting wars and killing hundreds of thousands is pretty comparable to exterminating and enslaving people as far as my moral compass is concerned.

I'm not really here to defend statues or whatever, but I just don't follow the logic in who we decide was a bad man.

> A civil war is different in the regard, that the defeated party is part of the same nation. So yes, I think the better analogy would be Napoleon statues in the UK. Or Wellington ones in France. And aren't there some of these statues on federal property as well?

These are comparable to the US civil war?

So China just almost caught up to Europe as far as CO2 emissions per capita goes and is nowhere close to the US whilst putting measures to reverse the trend.
That comparison used to be ridiculous just a few decades ago when they were comparatively massively underdeveloped.

Often this involves the whole blame-shifting where one poses one shouldn't do anything because there's someone doing less/worse. But in this case it's not even true. Not even if they lied about their numbers by
That would be a bad plan.

If there's still demand then the market will spur more development and exploration. It turns there's a lot of oil in the world, the fracking revolution in the US proved that. It would take $Ts to make a dent. And it wouldn't even work, as most oil reserves are held by national governments, who would thank you for raising the price of oil.

But let's suppose you did spend $Ts to shut in specific wells. You've spend all that money and gotten no economic benefit, except for other fossil fuel producers. If you had instead spent those $Ts on encouraging the deployment of fossil fuel free transportation and industrial processes you would destroy demand for that oil and (hopefully) leave it in the ground because its not economic to take it out.
Never used to be like this. At all.
Huh? I have never seen desktop Windows killing process due to out of memory -- does it even do that?

It does thrash much more gracefully than Linux, though. In fact the "your computer is low on memory" prompt actually can show up even when severely thrashing, something utmost impossible in Linux (even starting something like zenity may take hours..).
Your missing my point. Your comment is exactly why the US doesn't want these type of rules. The US is held accountable by people in the US. China doesn't allow that. So yes, the US breaks (maybe bends? I'm sure you could find lawyers that would say none of these are against international law) but them gets domestic blow back for it. China doesn't.

Can this infer anything about general education? I would think that language proficiency would heavily influence the result and skew the average, but that doesn't mean that people lack education in general. This asks for literacy specifically of course, just curious because I couldn't really imagine much about the questions that were asked to participants.

Also good to note that most streamers have a side donation system that more then likely isn’t included in these numbers. Donations seem to be generally run through a non twitch third party site. And is probably a substantial increase if not a doubling of their income.
> I just hope something new will come along soon.

I have a feeling that the something new will be the sort of supply-chain verification that rules marks like 'fair trade', 'conflict free', etc.

Any system that can verify the materials and labor practices along the supply chain will make it much more difficult to spoof the consumer.
Not at all, the Founding Fathers, as implies their name, founded a nation. Voltaire did nothing like that. Philosophers are quoted all the time, and yet nobody really tries to justify his plans by interpreting what these philosophers would think about them. That's not splitting hairs, it is about not drawing falls equivalents.

That sounds like an internal product name. At launch they'll probably pick something significantly less clever and more generic.

I haven't read the full book, but I found "Situational Leadership" a very helpful concept that would have taken me years to learn if I went through trial & error.
Cross-linguistic idioms would be interesting to see. I suspect it has a lot more to do with the etymology of the idioms than anything else. For example, I know that the idiom "I'm a big boy" (meaning "I am capable") works in English and Russian, but in Turkish it comes out sounding more like "I'm a large child". Actually, I found lots of idioms are identical in English/Russian (there are some unique ones to each language), and I suspect it comes from a shared European ancestry.
Brand deals usually match or exceed their income from Twitch as well.
Something worth noting - that fatigue some folks are noticing in their ears from ANC is probably a symptom of hearing damage. It’s much like how your ears feel “stuffy” after a rock concert - you get most of it back, but not all.

ref. https://www.asoundeffect.com/how-to-protect-your-hearing/

Rememeber, ANC is blasting the equivalent energy of your outside environment into your ears, but ideally in an inverted phase. I say ideally, because it’s based off a median set of ears (much like how a lot of stereo mixing does). The problem comes since if your ears are far from that median, you may be getting increased sound pressure due to interference in the wrong direction.

I don't get what's so funny about it.

In streaming case, for whatever reason you want to make a donation to somebody, not doing it because they are richer than you seems very strange to me.
That sounds like an overcomplicated maintenance nightmare with a too-high false positive and negative rate.
Extra funny with the context of Amazon Game Studios.

If you wish to acquire any kind of power, you cannot embarass yourself with right and wrong. Those who compete with you and won't do so will overrun you.

A lot of those streamers are pretty open about how twitch revenue is a small portion of their earnings.

Ninja was famously paid $1MM for an 8 hour ad of playing Apex at launch.

I've had private conversation with large streaming friends that have all said independently that the amount they get paid from a short Raid Shadow Legends ad is huge. One said it's enough to buy a nice car, and if they hit their target downloads (w/ link) the number jumps up to enough to buy multiple nice cars.

There is a lot of big money for streamers, not just big streamers.
Hmmm it doesn't have any of that thrown in for me.

IMO, this is an indictment of the structure, more so than the individual.

First, a campaign is a makeshift setup, staffed just in time and fired shortly after. Second a campaign is a campaign. It's about media attention, hammering messages and getting elected. Anything but a messy collapse, post election, is unlikely.

I'll suggest that what you wanted to be involved in isn't an individual campaign, it's a party or something that you could join. Something that is supposed to last, and where members are supposed to have influence. Otherwise, there's no room for daylight between the candidate and people supporting them and every crack is structural doom.

Yang Gang had a lot of self organising, organic aspects to it. But, it framed itself as a fan club. Yang Gang should have never been subservient to The Campaign, which is really just a bunch of underpaid youngsters run by a handful of professional, non-ideological experts. The campaign should have been subservient to Yang Gang.

"Support for Yang among Yang Gang" is a nonsensical frame. That's not sustainable.

Vitamin D is actually a hormone rather than a vitamin. I can't put enough emphasis on how important it is not to be lacking in Vitamin D.

The pressure / motion sickness phenom is real; some people just can't take ANC in an over-ear headphone at all.

Fortunately for me, I'm not one of them. I got some lower-end Sennheisers on a lark a while back, and found them AMAZING for use on planes. You don't realize how draining the plane's white noise is until it goes away, let me tell you. It was like a breath of fresh air.

I had, for years, poo-pooed the idea of ANC vs. high-end in-ear monitor type headphones based on an imperfect understanding of how to measure sound isolation; I was just WRONG.

I have a bit of a headphone acquisition problem, I admit. While I still have those Sennheisers, I also have the AirPods Pro (which are great for many things, but not really sufficient for airplane duty -- OTOH, they completely mask the noise of my bicycle trainer) and the AirPods Max (which are better than the Sennheisers in every way).

The Max are expensive, but sound far better than any headphone I have except MAYBE the $400 wired pair of Sennheisers I have in my office. They're in another league. The white noise is gone, but so is most conversation around you, or other incidental noises, or whatever. Pre-COVID, I worked in hotel lobbies and coffeeshops doing very focussed work without distraction, which is pretty great.

I'll also say this, which I found kind of hilarious. I recently bought some of those bone-conduction headphones (AfterShockz) for use when gravel cycing (no cars to worry about there). They don't even go in your ears; they sit your skull just outside the ear canal, and work pretty darn well. Their WHOLE REASON TO EXIST is that they DO NOT block external sounds, so they're safer to wear when running or cycling or whatever.

However, so that you can still use them in other contexts where you might want to block out sounds, they ship with some earplugs. Ha!

What I consider problematic is the fact these people will organize massive efforts on Twitter to ruin other people's lives because they posted wrongthink. They make the 4chan raids I've seen look amateurish.
> What do you mean? You think all coders are security engineers?

Now, imagine using that argument when a bridge falls down. "What do you mean? You think all the bridge builders were safety engineers? Bridge components rely on different dependencies, often dozens at the same time. You just need one point of failure and boom, it collapses. These are humans creating these bridges. I would say that SPECIALLY because of the size of these bridges, collapses are inevitable."

> The number of known quantum algorithms, which promise advantage over classical computation, is just a few

Not at all well versed in the topic, but to me, we are at ENIAC stage of quantum - those few algorithms where quantum has an advantage provide a huge advantage worth a high price tag to those who need them - so this shouldn't be a real worry for some level of viability, technical concerns aside (which are not insignificant, as you point out) - but also as you highlight, 'some level of viability' is not the same as 'instant changes everywhere', so perceptions of hype-vs-reality in the general population is a different question

> let die = Uniform::from(1..7);

I think this is a good example of the bad consequences of zero-based indexing. First, I hope you agree that a line of code describing a six-sided die should never feature a literal 7!

But zero-based indexing causes us to embrace exclusive ranges: if we want 6 numbers, we write 0..6 and that’s fine.

If you want 6 numbers starting at 1, then you must use an inclusive range operator, since you don’t want to bring the irrelevant number 7 into the picture. Now Rust has that: ..= and the author should use it here. But e.g. Python does not. Personally in Python, I would still refuse to write 7 and write range(1, 6+1) instead, but that’s most people would write range (1, 7).

Which brings me to my point: I’m not trying to argue against zero-based indexing, but I believe that

(a) programming language designers (e.g. Python) don’t recognize sufficiently that it has downsides as well as upsides, and languages need to provide things like inclusive ranges, even if they don’t actually provide 1-based indexing, since 1-based indexing scenarios do naturally occur when programming. It seems that Julia is an example of a language that has very much recognized that both sides have merit.

(b) In the standard case of a language that basically adopts zero-based indexing (most modern languages), 1-based thinking should not be presented as somehow vulgar or ignorant. A good test of whether your language is too hardline on zero-based indexing is: would you ever see users of your language using the literal 7 when describing a six-sided die? If you see that happening, the language is being too hardline on zero-based indexing; either you don't provide inclusive ranges or they're not promoted enough in the documentation.
“Don’t worry, this is _purely_ an estimate and would never be used to set the deadline. So just give us something to share with the ELT…”
An intake that high could backfire.
> Right, but the better way to actually write this is something like

Maybe for some cases, but it does not do the exact same thing, see the comment here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29455777/1598080

And if we are talking about idiomatic, I think it is maybe a stretch to count this as idiomatic for Python, but given it is documented for Django I think it is fair to call it idiomatic for Django.
