A couple years ago I had an experience with a spider that entirely changed my perspective on them and most insects, and now I make a conscious effort to help them as much as possible, instead of kill or even repel them.

This particular spider kept running back and forth between my monitor and a window, and when it'd get to my monitor, it would wave its front legs at me. If I moved to the left, it would run across to the left side of the monitor and waves it legs again. If I stood up and moved closer to it, it would run back to the window, turn around, and waves its legs at me. From watching YouTube too much, I was always under the impression that this was either a sign of aggression or a defensive stance.

But after a few times of going back and forth like this, I realized there were approximately 50 baby spiders around a light by the window, which had been closed since the previous day. Normally this would be a nightmare for me (I've always had a fear of spiders), but after a while, I had this crazy notion that the spider was trying to get me to open the window. So I did, and it immediately ran to the babies, wrapped a single strand of silk around the old webbing, and started dragging swaths of the babies' webbing toward the window.

I have no idea if the room was just dry and they needed some humidity, or if the food had been too scarce for too long. Whatever it was, that parent spider was in full blown panic mode, and managed to effectively communicate their problem to a human. I haven't killed any spiders or insects since (aside from a few particularly asshole-ish mosquitos), and actually keep small water dishes in my bathroom for two spiders who've now lived with me for nearly a year. If any babies hatch inside and get close to me, I use my phone's flash to guide them back to a corner with a light on -- they are seemingly always drawn to the brightest light source.

Spiders are incredible creatures, and I deeply regret not realizing that sooner.
I just want to point out that your seatbelt analogy isn’t true for all population groups.

Seems some of the vaccines are resulting in heart issues for young, otherwise healthy men.

So would you wear a seatbelt if you had almost zero risk of dying from the crash but an very small chance the seatbelt might choke you while driving and lead to long term harm?

Would you take the risk, solely because the authorities say you must take the risk wearing a potentially unsafe seatbelt to save some old people?

You were saying something about people can’t evaluate risk.

https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02740-y

As a young man, who survived Covid, why would I risk heart complications to save some old people?
That might sound irrelevant on the face of it, but it has
very real consequences. For example, the following pattern
is simply not possible with ESM:

const someInitializedModule = require("module-name")
(someOptions);
Or how about this one? Also no longer possible:

const app = express();
// ...
app.use("/users", require("./routers/users"));

Configurable modules and lazily loaded imports are both missing from the ES Modules spec.
Which is annoying as virtualbox does not run on Modern mac hardware.

It is not nice on older as you can relatively easily make things work on most Unix systems if you don't use Linux specific calls.
Seatbelts also affect your passengers (if you are wearing no seatbelt then your body can kill your passengers). So it's not just a personal decision.
It's probably that psychological effect where if you buy a red car, all you can see is red cars. How many times have you received a completely random, unrelated cold call?
Car crashes do economic damage, raise health and car insurance premiums etc. It's not a health emergency but there is harm to society.
Theory, if we needed them, we'd have them, we don't really need them, so we don't have them.

Can't wait to see what nefarious use cases that eSIMs can be used for then by our carrier then if your phone has one.

Maybe in the future, eSIMs will be the only SIM in your phone and it can't be removed, just reprogrammed by the carrier.

Efficacy != efficiency.

Efficacy is just estimation after some tests. It must be at least 50% for vaccine to be accepted. 95% is bigger than 50%.
Also there is Circuitpython and MicroPython. Probably less ideal for production. But capable enough for those less familiar with programming.
There is one. Which is that you can’t easily do an inline require any more.

Unprocessed ESM in the browser makes sense for local development. We are collectively wasting millions of CPU hours (and developer time) waiting for our mostly unchanging dependencies to be processed. For production deployment though, I'd still prefer ESM in the browser, but not verbatim as they are coming from npm, but compiled, minified, and bundled in a way that strikes a balance between total number of modules, code duplication inside the modules, long-term cacheability etc.
That would require the graph on https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor... to go down again. It doesn't.

Makefile-that-calls-3-other-build-systems isn't really using Make to build, is it? You are using Make as a glorified batch file. Could just as well use bash.

This is pretty much the textbook definition of "non-portable build"
I think it would make the code easy to read for a beginner.
It could also make the error reports much more clear, instead of "Unexpected symbol }" you can print something like "This for is missing it's matching end_for".

I don't like identation, it is easy to mess it around if you copy and paste code, or if you make edits, is like we would background color the blocks of code, it might look more visual but will cause issue when we actually manipulate the text.

It is a shame that at the beginning of learning to program you are hit with this many concepts and on top of that with this complex programming languages , why we did not invent a simple , more limited but perfect for teaching one? I assume some will say why should we waste time teaching a toy language when we can teach the real thing.

So, what you've described isn't health care, it's trauma care. In that respect, you're absolutely right. A fellow expat here had a turn over car accident requiring a helicopter flight and it cost him almost nothing.

I'm talking about health care, as in staying healthy. Regular visits, monitoring conditions, things like that. You have to schedule anything like that months in advance, you never see the same doctor twice as they tend to import temporary doctors from other Scandinavian countries, and every time you see someone it's starting over. Something as simple as hypothyroidism can be an uphill battle that the patient basically has to monitor themselves. Simple surgeries like hernias, etc. you can end up waiting months to get. Test results are hidden from patients, many very good prescription drugs simply aren't allowed in the country, and in many cases, we're using two generation old cures when much better ones exist.

The hospitals are also IMO disgusting. Yellowed dirty walls, people walking around in socks due to custom (which is a great way to spread around foot fungus, something a TON of people here have). That paper that you pull down between patients on the beds only gets changed if someone gets it wet or bloody. I could go on, but it feels like low quality care every time I go.

You're also right that being in the top 15% (I'd argue it's more like 30%) in the US means you have excellent health care in the US.

American abundance is built on trillions of government debt and cheap Chinese/Asian imports.
It hits the spot!
I think that the vaccine mandates were primarily a reaction to the large increase in hospitalizations and deaths at the time. This was primarily driven by unvaccinated people due to their higher risk of transmitting and contracting the disease and the much higher risk of getting seriously ill. In an endemic situation with widespread immunity this kind of surge should not be a problem.

The problem is that those students will end up in the workplace one day and someone in the team will have to help them solve problems that are out of the scope of the project and could be worked around by knowing the proper tools

inline require is most likely a bad design, imo
It's bothersome that people who otherwise make sense equate these two things and totally miss the point about one personal decision having ramifications for society, while the other does not. The elision of that crucial point, or the intentional mixing of all regulations as being equally public necessities, helps prove to vaccine skeptics that rule-thumpers have no respect for individual choices and detracts/distracts from the actual harm that antivaxers do. And it's a position usually put forth by those in favor of public health controls.

If people can't separate emergencies (temporary) from other conditions, or the things that only affect one person from those that affect society, and use the virus and vax campaign as an excuse to reduce individual choice in a permanent way - by of all things, tying it to laws against harmful personal vices or other stupid choices - they will be speaking to their own echo chamber of fellow virtue signalers without accomplishing either of their supposed aims.

There was a list of 500 Hebrew list. I took the English part off, and I started looking up every Hebrew word, then either finding an image for it, or making my own. Like the Louis CK's "but maybe".

I had some for Russian, German.

Some for physics, microeconomics, etc.
There are a great, great number of people who believe _both_ that the vaccine works on some level but disagree with the way it's being used in medical apartheid, the lack of exit plans, and changes to daily life, and so on. There are a great number of valid complaints.

But mentioning them and commenting in a more measured way probably wouldn't get you so many upvotes.
it's up to my passengers then - their personal decision - take the risk without me wearing the seatbelt, not riding with me or convince me to put on one.
I glanced at the article and there are some good tips here, but I really enjoyed seeing an actual hit counter at the bottom. :) Love the throwback to a simpler web, even though this one is surely much more complicated under the hood.
Is it just me or does the app get rather unacceptable drawing latency after the screen is somewhat filled?

On the other hand, I like that it actually handles pressure, though even the thinnest pen size is rather thick at the default zoom level and kind of hard to write with.
One of the founding stories of the Free Software Foundation is of a time when just a standard laser printer was a similarly exotic and expensive item:

> But before this happened, I had an experience that prepared me, helped me
see what to do, helped prepare me to see what to do when this happened,
because at certain point, Xerox gave the Artificial Intelligence Lab,
where I worked, a laser printer, and this was a really handsome gift,
because it was the first time anybody outside Xerox had a laser printer.
It was very fast, printed a page a second, very fine in many respects, but
it was unreliable, because it was really a high-speed office copier that
had been modified into a printer. And, you know, copiers jam, but there's
somebody there to fix them. The printer jammed and nobody saw. So it
stayed jammed for a long time.

> Well, we had an idea for how to deal with this problem. Change it so that
whenever the printer gets a jam, the machine that runs the printer can tell
our timesharing machine, and tell the users who are waiting for
printouts, or something like that, you know, tell them, go fix the
printer. Because if they only knew it was jammed, of course, if you're
waiting for a printout and you know that the printer is jammed, you
don't want to sit and wait forever, you're going to go fix it.

> But at that point, we were completely stymied, because the software
that ran that printer was not free software. It had come with the
printer, and it was just a binary. We couldn't have the source code;
Xerox wouldn't let us have the source code. So, despite our skill as
programmers -- after all, we had written our own timesharing system
-- we were completely helpless to add this feature to the printer
software.

Interesting to think how cheap and almost disposable printers became and how that might apply to 3D printers.
> lazily loaded imports are both missing from the ES Modules spec.

What do you mean?
Turns out being too lazy to clean up spider corpses after I killed them actually was like putting out heads on pikes as a warning to future spiders entering my home.
ah, the flying body scenario. Well it's really your passengers choice then, to get in the car.
That was before. Imho that was just wholesale hacking, not specifically targetted at me - but at the "type of person" I was.

I then was a nobody working for a very large US company as an it architect. Stayed at an expensive hotel in Moscow, one of those few that visiting business used to frequent. That was it.
Me too (+ looking forward to the latest conspiracy theory re the suspiciously lost landing footage)
I just would like to add that I think this was an outstandingly written post.

For example, look at the first sentence: it promptly sets the stage ('first introduction programming for computer science students') and confers the main point (about using a professional IDE), all while remaining straightforward to understand. The reader knows exactly what is coming! I thought the remainder of the article was equally sharp, well-argued, and stylistically quite pleasant.

Sadly, the main points of the article seem to be sorely misrepresented in this comment thread. I do not know why, but I really would not want this to discourage the author from writing more.
Yeah, sure. Let me put millions to compromise a supply chain and get access to what thousands of people are sending on their WhatsApp accounts /s.

There is a reason why any type of security analysis needs to depend on your treat model. Unless the target is worth it, it doesn't make sense to do what you described.

Instead, millions of people lose a option of doing their screen repairs for cheap. And of course, Apple will have access to more money as always. But sure, security...
import someModule from "module-name"
const someInitializedModule = someModule(someOptions)

A bit longer, but meh…

const app = express();
app.use("/users", (await import("./routers/users")).default);

top-level await is a thing now

Actually, the first example could be rewritten as

const someInitializedModule = (await import("module-name")).default(someOptions);

That «simply not possible» statement is simply not true

If you have "OK Google" or whatever it is turned on, it is indeed listening to you.

I've seen it with my parents. They will talk about it, not to their phones, but around their phones, and they'll start seeing ads for something they talked about.

I've always had that featured turned off (I have to press the button), and I don't notice it.

My wife also sees it with her iPhone with siri turned on. I talked to her about, for example, Jordan Peterson, and her phone starts blowing up with Jordan Peterson on Instagram.

I dont think it's pure coincidence.
When I built a game engine, the most important thing I learned was to use the same dt every time for the physics. So, your physics update might run multiple times within a single game loop iteration and you need interpolation to deal with any leftover time. Glenn taught me this:

>Extremely high compliance

>[deaths] only marginally below the levels where they were pre-vaccine

Neither of this has any relation to reality. Compliance isn't high (and can't be, since the country is younger than most Western countries, and the vaccine wasn't approved for these ages until very recently), and deaths are significantly lower post-vaccine.

I came to write exactly this. The app ecosystem grew due to the insane numbers of users having a >50$ smartphone everywhere in the world; and this is what made fb and the rest of companies what they are at the moment. The price barrier to enter the vr/ar world would be considerably higher and almost unreachable in the 3rd or developing world, which is fb’s main audience.

> I am a strong believer that services that are based on "scale infinitly" really need hard budget controls, and slower-scaling (unless explicitly overidden/allowed, of course).

+1 on the budget control, but I don't think there are good arguments in favor of slower scaling.

The ability to scale on demand is sold (and bought) based on the expectation that services just meet the workload that's thrown at them without any impact on availability or performance. That's one of the main selling points of managed services, if not the primary selling point.

Arguing in favor of slower scaling implies arguing in favor of downtime. A service that's too slow to scale is a service that requires a human managing it. A managed service that is unable to meet demand fluctuations is a managed service that can't justify the premium that is charged for it.

Probably worth noting: many of the recent “metaverse/web3” (not Metaverse) developments, for example ERC721, are also RFCs and open protocols. Yet unlike typical web RFCs we’ve seen in the last decade, they are generally not only decided upon and ultimately driven by a small handful of browser monopolies.
Problem is bothed node.js implementation that leaves most of existing applications without migration path. Even today it is not possible to create full ESM application front or backend. It is worse than python 2 to 3.
