> Deno is currently a pre-requisite for using the CLI — if you do not have Deno installed, please do so first.

I'm sorry but that's not what CLI are supposed to be, they should be self-contained with the least amount of dependencies possible and the smallest possible, otherwise it completely defeats the purpose
I'm sorry, I don't think your posts have anything to do with my message or with this thread.

That's not arbitrary code. That's my compiled, tested and verified code.
He's been working on a right to repair campaign in the US. I'd also discourage you from watching those videos; unless you want to see him complain for 45 minutes that the Genius Bar doesn't have microscopes and schematics and can't replace a tiny microchip on a circuit board. He's fighting for a good thing but the constant complaining, often way off base, just makes him look annoying.
I dunno I’m gonna switch once my 2018 MBP bites the dust. The apple ecosystem is pretty slick but I’m getting fed up with vendor lock in.
Now we will just have to endure months of crying on twitter about what a victim the perpetually fragile Elon Musk is. What cracks me up about this clown is that he seems to buy into the simulation theory but doesn't realize is that the reason for the simulation is to figure out how to stop people like the used-to-be-balding Musk.
The class names inside MyLibraryInput are, even at its top level, private implementation details. To control spacing of them in a form, you should add additional class names to their root, via a public API that allows adding class names, or by styling their parent as a flex box or similar, or by having a spacing control in its API. You should not be targeting them through CSS at all.

It's not extra wiring for no reason, it's extra wiring to ensure maintainability. When you style children via css like `#parent .child` you are making it difficult to understand where and why styles are being applied. Any parent at any level of nesting could overwrite the styles of any child, potentially conflicting with other ancestor overwrites. And as the internals of the component change, all these overwrites may stop working correctly. By making the class name injection points explicit, even if it's just the root, you are avoiding this problem of "where did all these styles on my input come from??" and "what is going to break if I change this class name?"

A lot of it will be pushed down the stack into infrastructure. Infrastructure typically tails software, so over the next decade I would expect to see shifts in the infrastructure to accommodate this.

For example, I think we'll start to see more fine-grained ACLs in databases combined with passthrough authentication from the webapp. So the nocode app is basically just a layout engine that passes a query and your Okta token (or whatever) to the database, which runs the query and filters out results you personally can't access, and then nocode app formats it (basically, in a naive implementation).

IT gets to maintain control of the ACLs, and permissions become seamlessly uniform across applications. Marketing doesn't have to talk to IT get to credentials for the database and talk about security, they just set up a new app and the database makes sure that users are allowed to access that data.

That will also cause a cottage industry of tools for managing those permissions to spring up.

I would keep a serious eye on Microsoft in this space. Active Directory + SQL Server gives them serious inroads into major companies for something like this. Sharepoint is also already in the same vein. If they bought out a nocode platform, replaced Sharepoint with it and integrated the ACLs for AD and SQL Server, they could have a really compelling product in this space. It would be a perfect add-on product for Office 365, and the billing is already set up for a lot of companies.
Weird comment. You kind of miss the point entirely. Serverless is about scale — not about not having a backend.

It’s a CDN with a backend which is attractive. Effortless, infinitely scalable, dynamic web apps.

The position paper linked in the article above says:

> This is because through Article 45.2, the legislative proposal, in effect, mandates that browsers automatically include Trust Service Providers (TSPs) in their browser root programs.

I haven't read the law in question but I would take "mandates" to imply that doing the opposite is somehow prohibited by the proposed law.

> The cost of the equipment to do component levels repairs on an iPhone is well over 100% of the cost of a new iPhone.

Nah. If you know what's broken (which is often a cheap multimeter test away given you have the right schematics/boardview files) you can totally get by with a cheap hotair (858D-style clone for $60), a decent soldering iron (even a dinky TS100, $70), and some decent miscellaneous tools and supplies (tweezers, flux, solder). This is equipment anyone that does any sort of electronics should already have. And likely equipment you'll find at a local hackerspace.

For 01005-sized SMD passives you'll most likely also need a cheap binocular microscope (an amscope on a gooseneck for $150 will do), but you can totally do 0201-level stuff without one if you have good eyesight.

It gets a bit more expensive if you're doing BGA swaps from donor boards because you need to reball them, but it's still easily all within a $1k budget for all the tools required. But hey, if Apple just allowed you to buy their BGA components new instead of people having to use donor boards, this wouldn't be needed.

Component level repair is not voodoo magic, you just need practice and a steady hand. Equipment is cheaper than ever. Pretending it's out of the hands of an average curious hacker is playing into Apple's bullshit about how magical and integrated their devices are and that therefore they're the only ones that can possibly work on them.
For the record, the feedback period on the EU charging port directive proposal is still open until tomorrow: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-sa...

I quickly glanced at a couple of the feedback documents they've got so far, and they seem to echo your concerns. We'll see if the parliament makes any changes.

Oh, I like this one. Making it a sort of ritual sounds like something that I could actually hold to.

I’m not on board with using a language that only has a single implementation and is complex enough that implementing others is difficult.

Please use a language designed for configuration, but still sane. There are several if we leave the JSON-inspired family. Starlark, pystachio, Dhall. All are restricted, but allow functions and code reuse. All are simple enough to write a new interpreter for.
In any case, I for one (biology/psychology might differ) is infinitely better when on a restricted diet with very active day. Everything falls into place naturally. I agree with not falling for shallow fads, but there's something to basic "natural" lifestyles.
A brief comparison distinguishing it from Cython would be most welcome.
And make sure you can easily fetch new emails on demand! I had a Migadu-Gmail setup, but the Gmail app and mobile site only pulled from the POP3 server every 30 minutes or something.

Which was fine until I had to verify my identity in-person at a Verizon store to cancel service and had to explain why I wouldn't be able to receive a verification email to verizon@mydomain for a while. Also annoying for my 401(k) which uses SMS for 2FA and makes the codes expire after 2 minutes.

Since then I've switched to a custom domain with iCloud, which unfortunately doesn't support catch-all addresses at all, but is more reliable and faster.
Thats a good spin by the exec, but it’s more like “the people shouted, governments listened, began legislation, apple protected themselves by getting ahead of it”

I don’t really think that this was a direct reaction to customer demands but a forced hand with good spin.
This is really cool. Just a bit of pedantry: is Python higher-level than C? If so this isn't a transpiler but a compiler :)
Imagine if we were stuck in a world with a large bloc of users running MSIE6 regularly accessed web servers running 40-bit SSL2. Neither clients nor servers ever bother updating, because it still works for them.

That's essentially where every other protocol is. HTTP gets all the energy, active development, updates regularly rolled out. Meanwhile if you tried to make, say, FTP more rational by transmitting data over the control connection, nobody would be able to use it since all the servers are still running 25 year old wuftpd with the minimal patches to not get pwned and they have no interest in updating (if they even remember the servers exist).

Personally I think we've lost something valuable when only one protocol exists, but I'm one of those Luddites who still reads email with Thunderbird so what do I know.

6 & 4

Friday night is media night. The kids usually watch their dad play Legend of Zelda for an hour, and they decide what Link should do. After that, we watch 1 hour of a movie with each of us taking turns who picks the movie. Other than that, it's just occasional use of Facetime to talk to family or ask Siri to play a song.

I wasn't thrilled with how my then 5 year old handled her Kindergarten iPad last year. She had access to PBS Kids videos on her school iPad and would watch them when she was the least bit bored. We did decide that the iPad should only be used during school time. But now her iPad is at school, so we don't have that issue.

I'm interested in reading what other parents are doing. Even though we're in a hippy, educated community, our kids consume less media than their peers.
I don't mean to judge, but this sounds like a great way to make sure your kids become experts at circumventing your limitations. Take it from a kid whose parents didn't let him play RuneScape because it had witchcraft in it, and whose playtime of neopets was limited to 1 hr per day. I quickly became unusually good at both sneaking around the house at night to use the computer at 2am and also was surprisingly good at navigating Windows. We didn't have laptops or WiFi back then so that wasn't a relevant aspect, though.

In your household, I suspect I would be chatting with friends in the dead of night. I also suspect that I would, one way or another, manage to come by the WiFi password that you presumably use for your own devices.

If you're trying to raise kids who regard you as an adversary to overcome, I suppose you're on the right track.

I don't know, my kids are 1 and 2 so maybe I'll change my mind when I get there, but as someone who has made a career out of looking at a screen and spent most of the fun parts of his youth doing so as well, I plan to teach my kids how to self-manage screen time. My parents limiting my screen time just made me try to do everything in my power to maximize it, and I do think that made me quite a bit of an addict when I was a teenager (playing wow 6 hours a day every day on top of school and sleep). I only really learned to manage my enjoyment of screen time with my enjoyment of non-screen-time when I got to my last year of high school and college.

My wife, on the other hand, was never really constrained beyond her parents sanity-checking things now and then to make sure she wasn't getting into trouble. And she has always had healthier screen time management habits than me.
9 year old.
He started coding when he was 7. JS. He maintains an online website with all his JS code. Updates his own website. No screentime limits. No restrictions. I bookmarked developer.mozilla on his pc but he still prefers that dirty w3schools. I help out sometimes but that shitty language truly drives me up the wall. Sometimes out of spite I code up 1-liners in R and tease him that it'll take 100 years to do the same in JS. But he doesn't take the bait. I think kids are stupid in general. When I was his age I was a huge qbasic freak. My teachers told me then to use Turbo CPP for my pictures but qbasic was just so much simpler. I see my kid making the same mistakes now. oh well.
"The vaccine was never touted as being 100% effective."

We have overloaded the very term "vaccine" in a fairly misleading manner. One one hand we have vaccines that are highly effective in the longterm and can virtually eradicate dangerous diseases. On the other hand we have flu & covid vaccines, which can help control the severity of the disease, but are incapable of preventing regular widespread outbreaks.

Childhood vaccines are from the first category. Let's enumerate: polio, smallpox, tetanus, hepatitis b, hepatitis a, rubella, hib, measles, pertussis, pneumococcal strep, rotavirus, varicella, diphtheria, mumps. Some of these had no cases for decades, for others very rare localized outbreaks make the news. From the second category, flu and covid have regular outbreaks in highly vaccinated communities and there is no hope for herd immunity.

Perhaps it's time to clear up the semantic overload and create a new term to delineate the important difference between the two classes of vaccines. For example, use "vaccines" for the first category and "immunity stimulants" for the second.

1) For M-F, they are allowed 1 hour a day.

Go to Settings->Screen Time->App Limits.

2) For Sat and Sun, 3 hour limit, but a time window of 6am-9am. So if they're going to use the time, it'd better be in the morning while we're sleeping in. :)

Go to Settings->Screen Time->Downtime (enable scheduled).

3) I've always curated their Youtube subscriptions, without their knowledge, unsubscribing from the 100's of Minecraft channels they subscribe to (leaving a few) and adding Science and discovery type channels. :)

Manage Youtube subscriptions here: https://www.youtube.com/feed/channels

4) Lastly, my wife and I have decided to start curating the apps that that they can use with extended hours. If they want to use their iPads longer than the daily hour, they will have utilize one of the following:

- iMovie

- Garage Band

- Epic Game Maker ( https://apps.apple.com/us/app/epic-game-maker-sandbox-craft/... )

- Pokemon Go (since that would still get them out of the house.

The above app limit exceptions can also be managed with: Settings->Screen Time->App Limits.

The above curation idea was taken from a Billie Eilish - she said that her parents let her stay up as long as she was doing something creative (which was always writing or composing music).

Yes some areas are devastated and cut off and have a long, hard road ahead but that still doesn’t mean “nearly everyone” in the province had issues. Again; vast majority of people were fine; some areas were hit incredibly hard and other areas had minor issues but the majority watched it come and go with zero consequences.

The news is a bad example because they are clearly going to focus on the places that were hit the hardest. It’s not a very good story to say “everything in X area is absolutely fine”.

Personally I would say this sounds mega-restrictive in a non-constructive way. To each their own with parenting of course, but I hope others don't imitate this person's choices. This sounds limiting to the point that the kids might grow up having limited tech skills and no familiarity with the shows, movies, and games that their peers will be talking about.

I remember growing up watching Discovery channel specials like Steve Irwin, learning a ton of history playing Age of Empires (that led to me having a love of reading historical biographies years later), and just watching movies in general that led to me loving writing stories.

However I have also seen young kids do nothing but waste 7+ hours a day on youtube watching imbeciles splutter about their opinions on tabloid drama or reaction videos.

So my point is that I think it's less about total restriction and more about guiding the content.
Discord doesn't seem to have any way (besides kludgy stuff where you run multiple instances of the client) to have different logins on different servers like Slack allows. Instead, it's one account everywhere.. which is frustrating when I have both "work" and "personal" Discords. I prefer to keep my work and personal personas separate; Slack allows this even though it's not as good a platform for community/personal servers as Discord is.
Aside from the LDLC one, what are the 3 others? I cannot find them.

> "sure, the customers want to be able to repair easily, but won't this hurt our revenue growth and my bonus next year? What if they stop upgrading hardware as often?"

I honestly think it was closer to "the customers will screw up the repair, burn down their house and then for two weeks the headlines will be about iPhones torching poodles." Between right-to-repair laws and the proliferation of unlicensed repair shops, however, their hand was forced.
He means it as a metaphor for "they'll say you're extremely evil," and Mengele is the most evil scientist that's also a household name. Treating any name like it's Voldemort isn't a helpful norm for a society to uphold.

Typescript has a lot of punctuation and thus it's not really human-editable. I'd prefer a ini-style format or dockerfile style (with one directive per line of text, clearly identified by a single uppercase word). Moreover, these formats are so easy to parse that you do not even need a library to do so.
This is a zero sum game where the winners are determined by their ability to get cheap debt.

> Why? Because the raw materials behind plastics and other petrochemicals are fossil fuels. As traditional demands for oil – vehicle fuels – are declining as the transport sector is increasingly electrified, the oil industry is seeing plastics as a key output that can make up for losses in other markets. Investing in plastics has therefore become a key strategy for fossil fuel firms.

Reminds me of Ministry for the Future when Saudi Arabia pledges to only sell its oil to companies producing carbon-sequestering plastics rather than fuel. Plastics are obviously still super problematic for a million reasons though. Especially since it seems like a lot of it ends up getting burned anyway...
Why no social media in particular? Is it a blanket ban because there isn't time to talk to them about it or is it simply, in your opinion, too toxic for teenagers, or something else?

Why no games on their phones? Is this a way to control the time spent on games or to prevent the time wasted on games when out and about?
