This is based on the false premise that productivity growth is limited and we do not have sufficient means of production to feed a country if somebody is working in entrepreneurship instead of working. The whole point of automation is to free up labour. The additional labour has to go somewhere. Do you expect every English major to work in an Amazon warehouse or become Starbucks baristas?

> And it's only eight shows for a "season". By that time I've lost interest in any of the shows.

That's a good thing, tbh.

Too many good show concepts get ruined by the legacy (and very outmoded) American TV syndication business-model which forces producers to make 20+ episodes per year which really compromises the quality of a show. Netflix's business model was/is fantastic for original showrunners because if they want to make a miniseries or 8-10 episode season then that's more than fine with Netflix, because the better the overall quality the more people will be willing to pay for Netflix (also, why Netflix is fine with showing ample non-US content licensed from other countries' media industries which would never get TV air-time in the US because they (rightfully) don't want to compromise their shows by padding them out to 20+ episodes a year.

That said, I stopped watching Netflix like... 4-5 years ago and I'm still paying for it, argh.

I enjoy watching Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" to really understand what makes a comic, and you pretty much described what they all say. They just are trying to get a laugh 24x7. They all have different styles but the goal is the same. It really made me appreciate different types of comedians and that most of the successful ones really have a love for their craft.
Mostly wood and metal working, reading a bunch, traveling, farming/gardening, hanging out with my wife and kid, rock climbing, kayaking, long distance running and learning for the sake of learning. I’ve considered doing wood/metal working full time but I wouldn’t make nearly as much money and my family would have to settle for a lower quality of living.

I think a reasonable variation on that strategy is for a bunch of people to "move out to the country" all at once, and in roughly the same place. I.e. bootstrap a new city. It'd take a high level of coordination to pull it off successfully though. Ideally they would move somewhere not in a flood plain and not subject to a substantially higher risk of natural disasters (or the not-entirely-natural disasters brought on by climate change). Part of the reason we have a shortage of housing in cities that people want to live in is that we have a shortage of cities that people want to live in.

Otherwise, just moving to the country just means you're dependent on infrastructure in different ways. You might be able to grow your own food if you had to, which is an option city people don't really have. That's worth something.
I was going to make a joke about San Francisco culture, but honestly this kind of thinking happens everywhere. Look at all the people buying or building in areas with flood potential that is high and increasing.

This is great feedback, thank you!

Appreciate the vote of confidence. To maybe help address your concerns a bit:

I totally agree that RTK itself is a layer of abstraction that does hide _some_ of what you're used to with writing Redux code by hand. In fact, that's the explicit purpose of RTK in the first place :) At the same time, none of the Redux core concepts change. There's still a single store, you're dispatching actions to describe "events that happened", using reducers that produce immutably updated new state values, and using middleware like thunks to run async logic. The goal of RTK is that you're writing less code to do that :) I talked about some of the design history and goals in my "RTK 1.0" announcement post [0]

Probably the biggest common concern is that using Immer for writing immutable updates with mutating syntax is too much "magic". I get that concern, especially because you do _need_ to know that immutability is a critical part of Redux even with RTK. The best answer I have for that is education, which is why I plastered "IMMUTABILITY IS CRITICAL THIS ONLY WORKS BECAUSE OF IMMER" warnings all over our Redux docs tutorials [1], and have a usage guide page specifically on working with Immer [2].

Beyond that, almost all of RTK itself directly maps to Redux usage patterns that existed long before we created RTK [3].

RTK Query is definitely a much larger leap of abstraction. You're no longer thinking in "actions" and "reducers" and "thunks", but rather "endpoints" and "cache lifetimes" and "invalidation". I covered some of this mindset shift in a new RTK Query section of the "Redux Essentials" tutorial [4]. But, even here, RTKQ's React API was directly inspired from other libs like React Query, Apollo, Urql, and SWR. The "API slice / endpoint builder" concept is unique, and I agree those can get a bit lengthy, but there's definitely a lot of useful properties that come out of defining those up front. But, under the hood, it's all still typical Redux logic: dispatching thunks to make requests, a reducer to manage the cache state, plus a custom middleware to manage cache lifetime behavior. Certainly some bits of "clever" code in there (Lenz Weber is a genius!), but no real "magic" per se.

I'd suggest going through those new RTKQ tutorial pages and see if that helps get you more familiar with how it works. For that matter, the "Essentials" and "Fundamentals" tutorials we added last year may also help clarify just what RTK is doing for you as well.

If you'd like to chat more, I and the other Redux maintainers normally hang out in the #redux channel in the Reactiflux Discord [5]. Please come on by and ask questions!

Are jobs and employment rates really what we should be using to measure the economic outlook? Some people would be better off unemployed on government help, than employed full time at minimum wage in a city where housing is unaffordable and inflation is at 5%.

Additionally, increased spending can be a symptom of inflation as consumers rush to buy goods where prices lag.
Former USAF officer here. Part of the problem is that a Major or Lt Col does not have the rank or budget necessary to pull off a project of that scale. They are still too low on the chain, and too easy to override and then scapegoat when the project fails. Moreover, the officer system is "up or out" meaning that a field grade officer will always be incentivized to prioritize short-term paper gains over long-term strategic gains. This is a bad thing when designing critical infrastructure. A more senior officer with longer tenure and a bigger budget (i.e., a General or SES) needs to run a project intended for millions of users in a defense context.

I think both of those are good reasons, but there's also:

C. Web applications are the way most applications are used on desktop nowadays. The creator already needs to eat the cost of hosting the servers, so you might as well go for control and monetization over delving into making peer to peer work.
After I compile my Rust or C app (and pull all attendant libraries to make that possible, spread all over my system) I’ve downloaded about 500MB of code. The resultant binary is 10MB.

If I do the same thing with my JS app, I still download a bunch of libraries, but puts them all in node_modules. That’s also about 500MB. The resulting compiled/built code is around 2MB.

I dunno, seems roughly the same.
> American TV tends to afraid of a lot of taboos

Broadcasters invest a lot of resources into a single production that they'll prize for a year or to, or even a decade if it's a hit - but as they've got a TV audience sized in the multiples-of-hundreds-of-millions-of-people that's also socially/politically/culturally polarized they won't take many chances with controversial material.

If you ignore the (largely bland, invariably unoriginal) "mass-market" media in the US and look at smaller, local and independent broadcast media in the US (back when local TV stations were a thing) you'll see more... interesting material, but the production values aren't there which makes it harder to watch.
> I don't understand how anyone can believe "we'll just go the other way" is going to work fine. We don't have extra shipping works, boats, port slots, etc just waiting for twice the load or anything.

Finger is a silly protocol. It doesn't exist anymore because it is worse in every possible way than HTTP (or, at least, the tiny subset of compatible HTTP that replaces it).

I remember when I was earlier in my career and more specialized on implementing weirdo protocols hearing that HTTP was going to replace all the existing protocols. I was appalled; it seemed absurd, like suggesting Word .DOC was going to replace all text files.

But for the most part, the people saying that were right, and we are better off for it. The thing about a lot of those purpose-built protocols, even the "important" ones like DNS and most especially infrastructure stuff like SNMP, is that they are pretty dumb, the product of their time and thus, by construction, deprived of several decades of systems learning.

TLS was hard, the implementations kinda sucked, and it turned out that it was important.

So we went through a dark age where "Just open a socket and have at it" couldn't fly over WAN, which means there wasn't much point doing it at all.

QUIC will fix this. You can treat it like a bunch of TCP streams and UDP datagrams that are Just Encrypted.

I'm thinking about doing a toy IRC knock-off with QUIC. Having TLS standardized in the transport layer means less work for the app, and having multiple streams and datagrams means that odd stuff like file transfers or even voice chat could be tacked on without opening new ports or new TCP streams. Matrix is cool and all, but I want something you can just throw down for a few friends and some bots with a shared password. Matrix homeservers are too much work for one-off.

Seems ripe for exploitation.

What's stopping the PM-but-really-Major from invoking chain of command and making overriding decisions? In an org like the military I'm not sure you could just say "please act like a PM and don't make broader decisions" to someone with seniority and expect them to not exercise their authority, unless you actually revoke their authority.

Or, what's stopping the Major from installing a friendly and symbolic tech advisor? Stranger things have happened than bureaucrats hiring and building departments designed to do nothing but legitimize and push forward their own agenda.

I think this is easily refuted by large portions of our government, not least of which is our military. Even if a random Lt. Col. doesn't have enough software experience, they tend to all be damn impressive executives.

People are motivated by more than money. I certainly am, and would be far wealthier if I was only middling on career paths that use similar skills. In the end, talented people (and less talented people) have strong opinions about what they work on when given choices, and money is not the sole consideration.
Not that I agree with the methodology running `corepack enable` introduces, providing OS shims for the specific package manager commands to download them...

corepack (or package manager manager) was transferred to be a Node.js foundation project, voted to be included in release by the Node.js Technical Steering Committee. The one member I'm aware is affiliated with Github/NPM abstained from the vote. The specific utility of corepack is being championed by the package managers not distributed with node so that (Microsofts) `npm` is not the single default choice.

I'm interested to hear what parts of this you see as coming from Microsoft/NPM as I didn't get that vibe? In my view this was more likely reactionary to the Microsoft acquisitions (npm previously being a benign tumour, doctors are now suggesting it may grow :)

I feel quite concerned about cryptocurrency wallets:

a) on desktop computers (i.e., not smartphones that have better default security with sandboxing, permissions, Secure Enclave/equivalent hardware, etc.)

b) embedded in an application like a web browser that has a large attack surface

I think the mention of hardware wallets and the recovery phrase should be stronger recommendations on this page, and not left as an optional or “if you read till the end” thing.

I didn’t see a description of how this wallet could be moved around (from one computer to another) or any plans for making that easier (other than the use of the recovery phrase). The recovery phrase does need a lot more prominence.
I haven't thought about .plan files in years. This takes me back to setting those on the HP-UX account I had at college, and fingering my friends' .plan files daily. That was my first real encounter with actual multi-user, family-tree Unix, though I had been horsing around with some of the various Linuxen available in the mid to late 90s and early 2000s.

Agreed. This is just a mitigation so it should mitigate correct problem. IMO it's a problem that new service operators can't get enough IPv4 addresses for cheaper. It's inequality.
