Having used a lot of all the formats, it's argue it's a lot easier to read an a tiny bit harder to type. For typing it's basically just an extra `-` because unless your alternative is nocase.

For reading, CamelCase has 2 significant ambiguity issues: similarity between I and l, and what do you do with acronyms. Acronyms wouldn't actually be a problem if everybody just wrote them would in snake_case (i.e. only capitalize the first letter), but they don't and so it's anyone's guess whether you're going to get "Id" or "ID".

There's also a minor issue where if you're on a case-insensitive file system it can be a little difficult to change casing, but adding/removing underscores is easy.

Global Catastrophe Recap, October 2021 [pdf]
We're a country of 350,000,000 people. Leaving 500,000 outside simply because municipalities don't want them around is inexcusable.

Solution in two parts

1. Make it legal to build homes where people live (looking at you California, specifically LA, SF, SV)

2. Build dorm style shelters for anyone that would otherwise sleep outside

There's complicating issues like not enough addiction treatment and mental health facilities, but neither of those is improved by leaving people to sleep on the street.
We need to talk about the real reason behind US inflation
You don't have to be so salty, you know. You can cancel your order and get your money back.
I'd be happy if they did actually use their warchests to build new products/technologies instead of wait for someone else to prove the concept then try and take their market share.
This is very worrying. Especially being in the middle of a gas crisis here in Europe. People are facing 3-4x as high gas and electricity prices when their contracts expire! It's already causing mass protests.

I'm personally grateful they made this mode at all.
Calls the opposing viewpoint "anti-EV propaganda", then states that "Even on dirty grids, EVs are cleaner" which links to an article titled "Even electric cars powered by the dirtiest electricity emit fewer emissions than diesel cars, says new study".

STM32H7 is the upgrade path, but it doesn't seem to be any more available.
Meanwhile I haven’t seen a wage change since 2018….when I accepted my current role.

It’s hard. It’s a good job. And I can do it with my eyes closed. But I’m probably definitely leaving a good percentage on the table, in exchange for other ancillaries (lots of time off per year, cheap benefits etc)
It's easy to tell users to make a folder with no spaces if you're setting up a global path, however if you have an application that runs in user directories things can become painful fast. Changing your user name is a pain and can leave things inconsistent, but having to handle all the variations in people's names with spaces, punctuation, international characters, can just be mind boggling.
much appreciated thanks!!
It's hard to leave the comparisons dangling, for sure. But I'll defer for now. Congrats on the launch :-)

In Alabama it would the industrial sector that is in the wrong.

Nobody wants to pay for more expensive land, but we should force them to via regulation if they are going to spread cancer in the air.
Seriously. I knew of a few people in college who got that entire $2000 and paid off a few months of rent through that promotion by submitting quick one-off apps like calculators and snake games, and they did it with the encouragement of Microsoft reps on campus.

I was given a pretty decent free Windows phone after a hackathon by a Microsoft rep with basically no strings attached other than a verbal promise that if I ever finished the game I was working on during the Hackathon, I would put it on Windows store alongside any other platform.

They really wanted those numbers to go up.
Automakers more or less started the shortage, as a result of that everyone is in squirrel mode buying up what they can because they rightly fear having to reengineer and revalidate every single production run. That our new economy has a greater thirst for chips just compounds the issue.

Another attempt to convince you that your personal observations must be incorrect because someone found a stat from a study somewhere.

LA, Portland & SF– are obviously measurably worse over the past decade. Portland is a case of going from beautiful downtown to cesspool in that timeframe.

There are a lot of reasons that stats are misleading. Noise in the data, biases, trivial statistics, incorrect measurement, poor geographic approaches.

Please don't sit at your desk and tell me what I see out my window doesn't exist.
At present, a walk-up (no advance booking) peak-time first class ticket from Liverpool to London is £255. Standard class is £171. A walk-up off-peak standard class ticket is £66.10, and you can get it cheaper if you book a day in advance. At peak times, or for longer distances (think Scotland to London), planes can be cheaper, but not often. Coaches can generally be cheaper though.
The UK is a basket case when it comes to rail. The country that effectively invented the bloody thing, completely lost its mind in the 70s and started scrapping its extensive network. Then the Tories got in power, and at that point heavily-unionised public service like rail simply "had" to be eviscerated. Now it's an embarrassment, when compared to most European countries: expensive tickets, poor reliability, obsolete and polluting trains, continuous inability to pay for itself... I could go on.

I'm Italian, I thought "our" trains were bad, but in the UK it's much worse. Barely 40% of the network is even electrified, in 2021!
> But if it's problematic or harmful, I'd like to understand why.

TL;DR: this article goes into detail:

https://theconversation.com/psychology-behind-the-unfunny-co...

Below, I'll explain using this particular joke.
--------

Context is key here: are you laughing about our world being so so fucked up that the million deaths actually happened (the good), about it being funny that a million Jewish kids actually perished (the bad), or are just shoehorning a taboo topic/horrific event into a pun for pure shock value (the ugly)?

- The good is gallows humor, which is what someone would perceive once you identify as having Jewish heritage. It's making laughter out of tears, and it's an old, and good tradition. This particular joke would be a big stretch, but can be pulled off.

- The bad is Neo-Nazi land. The goal is to not make people laugh, but to trivialize mass murder. Jews were dehumanized, described as vermin that needs to ne exterminated prior to Holocaust — and it has heen an effective strategy to normalize the genocide. You can see the same kind of "jokes" used to send a message about South American refugees today. This is

- The ugly is juvenile idiocy of a child who just learned a bad word, and enjoys the shock it causes. The harm on such ugly jokes is that after evey edgelord makes them a million times, not only is the shock value completely gone, but people get used for the Holocaust being that-thing-people-joke-about-that-Jews-whine-about, without ever trying to understand it. They've seen it enough times that familiarity starts to feel like understanding ("I did Nazi that one coming! That's gonna holo-cost you!”). That's the loss, for the sake of a rather stupid gain.

Depending on what context you make the joke in, it can be either.

Perhaps it wouldn't be wise to tell it to someone crying at a Holocaust memorial mourning the loss of their family.

But at a Chabad dinner, when the topic of conversation is how Jews have always used humor to get through the difficult times — not the worst way to make yourself a schlimazel :)

Yes, usually an order of magnitude more complex, even.

As opposed to all those reliable primary sources our concept of history is based on?
JSX is JS. Nested brackets are simply converted to nested function calls & objects, attributes convert to properties.

This is evident when comparing conditionals, loops, etc. Instead of learning template syntax you simply use JS syntax, albeit a declarative subset (no branches).

JSX is simply syntactical sugar for nested JS, you can use it without, but it's prettier with.

One could add this syntactical sugar natively to the language spec, in fact E4x (ECMAScript for XML) share some properties w/ JSX and was once proposed to the spec.

Cool af! Congrats
I thought all browsers blocked that stuff nowadays. Which browser are you using?

On my phone it autoplayed, but muted.
Would have been cool if it was an input AND charged the battery.
Of course they didn't answer the question—that would require relevant information. A substanceless oneliner (and in the form of an internet trope, even) is not that.

Surely it isn't hard to understand that "Yes. Yes there is." is an unsubstantive comment. This is not a borderline call.
If the transition to EVs is going to go like transition to smartphones, Toyota is setting itself up to be the Nokia.

I've driven several latest EVs, and they're getting really good. I think we're at the "iPhone 3G" stage in the EV tech.
Isn't that the whole point? To keep it away from urban populations?

> The index file stores a list of every file at HEAD, along with the object ID for its blob and some metadata. This list of files is stored as a flat list and Git parses the index into an array.

I'm surprised that the index is not hierarchical, like tree objects in Git's object storage.

With tree objects (https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Internals-Git-Objects#_tr...), each level of the hierarchy is a separate object. So you would only need to load directories that are interesting to you. You could use a single hash compare to determine that two directories are identical without actually recursing into them.

In particular, I can't understand why you would need a full list of all files to create a commit. If your commit is known not to touch certain directories, it should be able to simply refer to the existing tree object without loading or expanding it.

I guess that's what this sparse-index work is doing. I'm just surprised it didn't already work that way.
Is it coincidence that you almost exactly replicated what macOS has? Except that /Devices is /Volumes, .../Apps is .../Applications. and /Boot is handled differently.

Of course, that's not perfect either, because a) decades of changes vs. compatibility have made it less clean in certain places, and b) pretty much all the POSIX paths still exist for unix-y compatibility, but overall it's like that.
At least tell us what CPU you are using!
Add Seattle to the list as well. It has been years since I felt safe taking my family downtown but now I don't even feel safe in most parks.
Excellent breakdown of data on homeless populations across the US. It could use a better title. This is worth looking at. It is not your usual opinion piece on the topic. It's all data and it's very good.

I wonder when they will exceed one staff member per student?!

Although: “The total number of instructional staff teaching the 5,964 undergraduate students at Yale University is 1,915 . When this is adjusted to account for those with part-time status, the result is the "full-time equivalent" (FTE) count. Using the FTE count for students and staff results in a "student to instructor" ratio of 6 to 1 which places Yale University among the best concerning instructional attention.” - from another site.

Right; most browsers today (Edge, Brave, Vivaldi, not Firefox) are just reusing Chrome's rendering engine. This is concerning for reasons that amount to "an adtech giant now de-facto controls the web".
It just isn't what you're describing at all. Clicking on something in the weather widget, for example, opens a public page like this one, with Edge.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/today/

That page has to work with browsers other than Edge because it's a public page. Someone else is dealing with that requirement already.

MS is forcing Edge in places where none of what you're calling out is true.

The answer is usually that whoever set up webpack grabbed the configuration from another project, and nobody wanted to touch it since then because it worked and it looks scary.

Young developers don’t know what they don’t know. If they don’t see editing the webpack configuration as part of their job, they’ll probably just never touch it.

And that means it’s your job to go fix it! Compiling down to es5 can have terrible performance implications for the resulting application - particularly if any of the bundled code touches typed arrays. There’s some free performance wins sitting on the table. If your coworkers are too junior, it falls to you to fix the build.
It's just such a pain in the butt to work with files with spaces. In a script it's fine b/c I just surround it in double quotes, but on the command line I hate having to escape the spaces.

This might already exist, but I wonder about a terminal that was really just a multi-line repl to a language. It would be preloaded with libraries that replicated all the features of the gnu core utils, but instead of calling grep like normal, you called a function like grep("args"). The advantage would be that you had access to a full blown programming language at all times. So when you needed to do something more complicated you would still have access to all the standard language features. And when you didn't need that, your canned core utils like functions would work

We should definitely try to solve this but I don't think it is simple at all.
> The real goal is many more small schools.

That's not what will happen, though. What'll happen is you'll get big players owning most the schools, all teaching the same way and same stuff (and if there's no oversight, they can also teach anything, even creationism). Capitalism won't allow this to happen.

> Even with larger schools and bus routes, the solution is to create hubs where you can get off one one bus and hop on the one that goes to your school.

This sounds awful, and absolutely won't work for rural areas. I worked at a school where we already had kids on the bus for two hours each way. They had to wake up before 5 sometimes to prep for school. Imagine expanding this so kids can get to their hub and then to another school. That sounds awful.

Really, the only ones who benefit from this system, still, are those who's parents are already borderline being able to send them to private schools or move. It doesn't help the lower socioeconomic groups at all, and, again, will make things worse for them.
Sure maybe, but here we are talking about short running CLI applications not long running processes. IMO, Go is better suited at this 'js infrastructure' stuff.
The largest new industrial facility in West Virginia, Rockwool in Ranson, is permitted as a top ten polluter for formaldehyde in the entire United States and was built 1,300 feet from an existing elementary school just last year.

Totally agree. All these reviews are conveniently ignoring this. Some of them I’ve seen even just left it at 2x scaling and did the whole video with a giant cartoonish UI that had no actual usable space.

For Linux users this display needs to be either 1500x1000 or 3000x2000.

I liked Orange Pi PC's. $10-$15 for much more umph than much more expensive Rpi 2b that was all the rage at the same time.

I didn't like how locked down the Windows Phone OS was, even for the time, and I didn't like some of the limitations that popped up around app capabilities. But otherwise, agreed, they had some good UX ideas, I liked their interface a lot, there are concepts there that would still hold up really well today on a mobile OS. And it was certainly (imo) a lot nicer to develop on than Android.

But... yeah, the app ecosystem.
I’m saying the original minter of the NFT gets the choice to choose where the URL points. Any future owner needs to do due diligence to understand what they are buying.

If the minter or original auction house can not vouch or has no contract with the content host, the investment can suffer from an unexpected content switch at any time.

If a buyer realizes this could adversely affect the content, the value could suffer.
It's more likely that the wage increases are causing the inflation. The rich typically do not compete for everyday items like groceries and gasoline.
i'm less interested in the objective idea of fairness and more interested in the practical realities of what it would take to successfully transition to electric vehicles.

if there's a massive political upheaval halfway through that results in political and economic instability (which of course would at a minimum jeopardize the transition itself), then that wouldn't be what i would call a successful transition.

since governments are already getting involved by subsidizing (and therefore are engineering a transition) i argue that they need to take a holistic approach and also engineer a path forward for those who will lose livelihoods and businesses as a result of those subsidies.
By what metric are you measuring it objectively?
Seems like you didn’t read the article to the end. It discusses the spike in unsheltered chronic homelessness on the west coast, which is the most visible type.
But React isn't just JSX. It's also the entire runtime library, hooks, event handling, forms, state handling, etc. The example you shared is a bit too simple to understand where Svelte shines because it doesn't introduce any of those concerns.

By having it's own templating language, Svelte is able to compile the templates to JavaScript in a way that addresses many of those concerns in a way that I think it easier to deal with as an end user of the framework.

If Svelte were using JSX, I don't know that it'd be possible to do everything else that it does so simply because you can write anything that's valid JavaScript in JSX whereas Svelte has just a couple of basic control structures that its compiler can parse and convert to runnable code.
It's futile, from the history we can expect that the next major generation of browsers would be called postmodern browsers, and next one would be post-postmodern browsers.
Also of note, not sure about the cost or availability of wifi/internet on planes but it can/could/should be included into the equation, in fact I'm sure there's a place/market for groups working traveling...and besides it does seem reasonable to tax plane travel more, their ?lead filled fuel is ?tax free ? and in a world which global warming is an (ignored)issue carbon tax shouldis be mandatory...
Engineers don't set out to design a bridge that will collapse, either, but folks still want them to be held to account when it happens; folks still expect bridge failures to result in root cause analysis and an update to standard practices after the cause is understood.
