The easy solution to arguments is having less things to argue about, similarly how Go solved formatting wars by an official format, Angular solves those fights by providing a default implementation.

For software engineers, there are employers in Stockholm that pay much more than 63k USD p.a. A good income combined with the low mortgage interest rate (~1.4%) and the basically tax-free investment accounts (ISK/KF) make Stockholm a pretty good place to make money in over time.

You can't sell what you don't own, so legally you didn't buy anything.

The alternative would be the state going: you reported a theft, we apprehended the thieves and found your stolen goods. However we can't give them to you, they belong to someone else now. That's absurd for any good that isn't fungible. Imagine losing a family heirloom, your photo collection or a Picasso that way.
Making it shameful to start a group meeting discussion without authoring a meeting doc is indeed a great way to cut down on meetings.

One aspect of Amazon’s writing culture that is not so well done is there seems to be a common preference for ultra-wide text lines in the docs. The entire publishing industry knows these are hard to read, so they don’t use them. Not sure why this was lost on Amazon.

I used Angular1 for years. Then Angular2 for a while before being assigned to a React project. Then elm for 3 years, and now back to React. So really now idea how ng looks today.

But one thing I really liked about ng was directives. It allowed you to compose and reuse stuff, and attach multiple behaviors to the same node that could cooperate. Of course it could end up being hard to grok sometimes. But for instance having various input components, and then being able to attach various validation directives to those seamlessly in the html was very nice. Almost like an entity-component-system in game programming.

React does something similar now with hooks (didn't exist when I used react the first time). Allowing you to compose stuff more easily compared to when class-based. But still have to write the glue code between all hooks in a component, though that makes it more visible what's going on.
> higher tendency of the youngsters in getting involved in gangs and crime (simply because many of them have far fewer opportunities in life, and they become aware of that very early)

They have no opportunities, so they make the most opportunity-reducing choice imaginable? Yeah right. This reminds me of the drunk from Little Prince who drinks to forget his shame of being a drunk.

Luckily this explanation isn't true. Crime doesn't come from desperation. Crime comes from crime, it's a contagious social disease. Hang around with criminals enough and you'll soften to the idea yourself, even if you're from a rich family. Hang around with people who shun the idea of crime, and you'll shun it too, even if you're dirt poor.
I used to work for long stretches, especially in an office, but now I know that when I get tired the solutions get further and further away. I can take a break from programming, get something else done (cook, clean, nap, exercise) and come back to it later and work 10x more efficiently. I actively try not to work for too long at a stretch.

Niobe Way comes to similar conclusions in Deep Secrets: Boys’ Friendships and the Crisis of Connection but I’m not sure I’d pin it on a shift in religion but the hyper-sexualization of society that started in the 60’s where every intimate relationship was primarily defined in the context of sex. Today much of the language and expressions of intimate relationships has been entirely co-opted and has sexual overtones compared to the 1800’s. Expressions such as holding hands and words such as love and intimate all now have sexual overtones they previously did not.

No because you only have to take the car once a week, and you have to walk 3 times per week. If you want to force physical exercise by inefficiency like that, what exactly are the machines that should be forbidden and which should be allowed? You can do a million things from scratch which gives you physical exercise, we all rely on using machines that saves us from this poor life, why put the walking/cycling on a pedestal?

I mainly found that people who are miserable at a job were miserable at every other job too.

That's not what I find at all - I can't even count the number of times I've been a shoulder to cry on for friends caught in miserable work environments, going all the back to grad school. And BTW I do mean literal crying in some of these cases - in others, it's been "merely" confessions of deep anxiety, hopelessness, insomnia and thoughts of self-harm.

Yes, there have been a few "miserable everywhere" cases, but at most they've been 10 percent of the batch. For the other 90 percent - it's clearly and objectively a result of the shitty environment they've been thrust into.
We are probably not the first species to do that. All invasive species reshape the ecosystems they enter.

And just now we are gaining awareness of how we can change the environment in a deliberate way.
Yeah, but the neoliberal governments have opted for mass immigration to suppress wages and maintain property prices.

Here in Sweden the population has increased by almost 30% in the last 15 years.

Similar story in the UK (but a smaller proportion by %, as the base population is higher).
I dont believe I said anything about concentrating the power into the hands of the president. If anything the 4th branch was created by the congress, and its continued existence is allowed because the US Supreme Court will not stop the congress from unconstitutionally passing vague goal based laws instead of actual legislation that proscribes exactly what the executive branch is to execute.

Instead they give the executive branch broad "goals" to achieve to be achieve by means and methods to be determined by the unelected administrative state

This unchecked power is also not an democratic ideal.
That better be some big bonus
React via NextJS is becoming a popular option. It ticks all of your boxes. NextJS has an opinioned way of approaching the backend but also supports just rolling your own and exporting the frontend as a fully static site if wanted.
I would guess because it was quite wrong and some people just read the article and not the comments. If it had stayed on the front page, there would have been lots of people who read it and just assumed it was true because it's on the front page after all. Just a guess though...
Expensive? Not really. I was an early purchaser of DevUtils, and in the intervening time, the author has released a steady plethora of improvements and enhancements. Not to mention develop a bunch of other unrelated useful utilities.

He kind of reminds me of myself 25 years ago, when I used to write utility app after utility app for DOS, early Windows systems, Unix systems etc. Hundreds of long forgotten tools that were used by either just myself, or large corporations and government departments for a modest fee. Had there been a Stripe or easy way of monetising decades ago, I could have made some serious coin. But eventually I burnt out and started a 'boring' consulting business to pay the bills.

I just loved creating, and I wish that someone had paid me enough to just keep experimenting and creating them because who knows where it could have gone. I paid for a DevUtils licence because I wanted Tony to continue to be encouraged to create more without feeling unappreciated, and I don't want him to end up an old, jaded programmer like me. ;) I can either pay $25 over the next week to buy coffees that I will pee down the drain, or I can help a young indie programmer create something new...
That's why working as the FIRST generation of programmers in any big financial shops is so fun. You get total ownership to whatever you build and others totally rely on you for their job. Even better, you can take months to reply to a requirement, if it doesn't come from a key stakeholder.

Edit: also applies to any large corporation.

And its (currently) combat-free sibling Dyson Sphere Program ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1366540/Dyson_Sphere_Prog... ) which is still "early access" but I couldn't tell you the last time I experienced any kind of bug while playing it

For me, the lack of enemies makes the game purely about scale and overcoming "bad luck" with resource allocations on the starting planet and local star system, without having to make hard choices about siphoning off resources to defend against critters

Speaking of hard choices, I'll also submit Banished ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/242920/Banished/ ) for consideration in the "games that altered the way I think" category. I gained a lot of sympathy for project management after playing that game because it's (mostly?) about prioritizing assignment of people who could be doing any number of jobs, but which of them are the most urgent and advance the goals of the group?

It's actually that "yikes, too close to reality" that makes me not play Banished very often (similar to the Zachtronics games mentioned elsewhere in the comments) but unquestionably I think they're good games and change thinking patterns

I know Kirat really well. Fun fact, one two-week dev cycle we had 667 distinct developers commit to the secdb code base which Kirat's boss described to me as "The number of the beast.... plus Kirat"

Second fun thing. Kirat was advocating for lisp for secdb for a long time and used to rag on me for liking python when it's so slow.
Could be a misdirection because all of the rest fits Quartz to a tee.

Wow. I spy a future life of them writing high-karma answers in vim.stackexchange.com. Much like playing a musical instrument, I feel that the only way to really master that tool is to starting using it insanely young. It might cause a hell of a shock when they go to school and get indoctrinated^H taught painfully and slowly how to edit "a document" using Microsoft Word, however...

Side story: my dad was a professional pilot, and if you replace "vim" with "IFR flight and approach planning", you get something of a similar ancedote with my life. He had an early flight simulation tool or two on a Macintosh LC, with a throttle quadrant, rudder, and yoke he built himself. I have many happy memories of trying to practice, e.g. carrier landings in an F/16 simulator, as a really quite small child. For my sixth birthday he took me up in a Piper Cherokee with a friend who was also a flight instructor, and I held straight and level flight and the long final. The colleague of his, sitting next to me, couldn't believe what the hell he was looking at. A lot of these things are just learnt fine motor skills and if you have a compliant and, above all, interested child, they pick them up very quickly. (My classmates didn't believe me – I had to wait until the photos he took on a film SLR were developed!)

I live in Västerås which is sometimes touted as one of the, at least, top 10 cycling cities in Sweden with 390 kilometers of cycle/walking paths.

And still we have expansive shopping malls outside of town which is heavily in favor or cars. We still have the downtown shopping but it can barely hang by, and parking is very expensive. It would not really have been possible to build all this shopping in the city center, so there is the physical limitations. I think this is the main problem, that the cities outgrow themselves, and it is just so much cheaper and economical to build mega-malls instead of smaller centres for shopping and amenities. They do exist here, but are very small. So you can often get by with walking of bicycling but the "big" shopping is done using a car, the local shops are 99% food-related or restaurants.
I met few people with exceptional amounts of chatter 24/7. I haven't work with any of them (psychologically), but, best to my knowledge, it is something that serves specific functions(s) in your mind and is susceptible to change, when approached systemically (not treated as a symptom, but rather in a perspective of totality of your experience/existence).

The basic direction is not to get away from it (to supress it using radio), but welcome it, get interested (edit: how would name those six voices?). Of course I can not go any further than tell you, that it is possible to change, imo, if you want to.

Not on Earth according to the data that we have. We seem to be quite unique when it comes to our ability to impact our surroundings.
Lua 5, unlike other foobars, is a complete language from the start. You may see 5.x as 5.a, 5.b, 5.c and so on rather than as “evolution” versions. The second digit is more like flavor, and as e.g. 5.2 or LuaJIT user you don’t miss 5.4 features. Moreover, some people, me included, find some of 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 experiments questionable.

Why is it so? Usually, when a language unlike Lua “evolves”, it just lacks a flipping lot of core/meta features from the beginning, crutch-adding them later. So users long for 1.x+ version so much, because 1.x is still bullshit, for any x. In case of Lua, its 5.1 version had some flaws, but it already had (arguably) more powerful execution/data model-wise than e.g. python or js, and these flaws were related to what the latter two haven’t had at all (because to them Lua is Lisp, in a sense of blub paradox). Coroutines, environments, metamethods, etc. 5.2 solved all of the remaining problems one way, LuaJIT another way. Upgrading to >5.2 doesn’t really change much in a way it works, but it’s enough to break your existing codebase.

So, “especially now” doesn’t have much weight in this case.
This may be slightly tangential but I recently discovered ncc[1] from vercel which can take a single node project and compile it and all dependencies to a single file.

As an added benefit it also collapses all contained dependencies license files into a single licenses.txt file too!

We know it feels terrible to be rejected. We do. But every online store and service has customers who they reject. The internet can really test your trust in people, and for good reason. Our products are not flowers, or delivered food, or books or music, which are all pretty non-controversial. Even companies that sell these things online reject new customers. Our products, like a car and many other things, are mostly for good, but in the wrong hands, they can be destructive. There unfortunately aren't international licenses for trustworthy sysadmins or an international police agency that can enforce that. So we have to try to do our best using our own systems. People who abuse servers are not always easy to spot. There are, of course, customers who accidentally resemble a fake customer. In the past, we used to tell customers why we rejected their orders because of this. And we had much higher rates of abuse. So we changed our process, and we no longer publish this information. And this has been working better. It's harder for people to create fake accounts with us now. We don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings or cause frustration. --Katie

I reckon I "felt" that push to hire at one of the early PyConUK, where your boys suddenly showed up with a big contingent. I even thought about applying, but I was not based in London - and there were some red flags, like running a pretty old Python version (I thing it was 2.2 or 2.1, when 2.4/2.5 were the expected mainstream), that kinda sounded like I'd be signing up for the modern equivalent of mainframe maintenance.
Since you might be interested, I've studied history at the university level in English, and it's generally referred to the VOC in English as well to prevent confusion with the English/British East India Company, at least in academic texts.
ROFL.. that is rich..

No the US Congress in their political cowardliness passes objectives they wish to see, they then empower unconstitutionally the executive branch to create numerous "administrative laws" to achieve those objectives.

The Supreme Court refuses to strike down these vague laws as unconstitutional, which over the decades has grown the bureaucracy exponentially until we have at present what is in effect a 4th branch of government not answerable to any of the 3 official branch, not with out wide reaching reform, and upending of governmental structure.

This is where the I wish Jefferson would have gotten his way.. "The question Whether one generation of men has a right to bind another, seems never to have been started either on this or our side of the water… (But) between society and society, or generation and generation there is no municipal obligation, no umpire but the law of nature. We seem not to have perceived that, by the law of nature, one generation is to another as one independent nation to another… On similar ground it may be proved that no society can make a perpetual constitution, or even a perpetual law. The earth belongs always to the living generation… Every constitution, then, and every law, naturally expires at the end of 19. years. If it be enforced longer, it is an act of force and not of right." -- Thomas Jefferson...

We should start fresh every 19 years
