>for a feature we all dislike yet needed to keep due to backward compatibility concerns.

If they really dislike the feature that much, they likely dislike the code and want to completely delete it. I'm not sure if making it opt-in would make them as happy as fully deleting it, so they are less motivated to make it opt-in than they would be to fully delete it.
Yes, but a lot of people prefer to have every commit in master in a buildable state. Otherwise things like git bisect become a lot more tedious.

Trilingualism in the EU is expected for high school educated people, not university.

Insomnia lead me to go dig into the repo… the average age of 98% of files in node_modules is 10 months old, attached to the commit when most of these files were added to the repo in the first place… so the entire argument is predicated on the changes to 2% of the dependencies
I mean, yeah, gotta maintain it. If it breaks one day every 5 years but speeds up build times 2x every day until then, worth it.
I really doubt spartans or other groups of people from ancient times in southern europe behaved like this.And for me the reason is simple: it would have been seen barbaric.For example circumcision was seen barbaric, everything that imposed the idea of man-made modifications to the innocence of a baby also skews more with this idea compared to what (at the time,and even compared to now) were very humanistic societies: greeks, romans, etc.

Obviously that doesn't account for proof, but when you take into account the fact that "history is written by the victors" and simple examples like salem trials, or any other group who was been later found to be relatively innocent of their actions by their accusers, it makes you wonder if these "rumors" were spread just to make spartans less popular.From what i recall spartans were also composed from largely slaves,gladiators,foreign people, and usually those people are not keen towards tyranny.

That's really interesting. I'm not brain damaged (at least not more than most people, heh) but I always had a pretty strong preference for higher refresh rate screens. They just seem calmer to me. Never had an issue with dimming but I'll take your anecdote as a canary in the coal mine on DC vs PWM. It's probably better for everyone to avoid flickering even if we don't notice there's a problem.

Of course, the smart glazier would figure out that giving away the schematics for a window-breaking device is in their interest.

NextJS to production and hype driven development
I'm a D newbie myself. Existing larger programs usually use advanced language functionality (like pure functions, generics, templates), which is a bit overhelming when learning a new programming language. You can use this resources page and pick up whatever interests you:

If you insist dissecting existing code, the Hunt library is well commented and seems more approachable. It uses OOP and some templates.

This is a fun shift in culture because for a long time checking in node_modules was the official advice of the early Node documentation unless you were building a library for npm.

It's already been long enough since that time that people seem to have forgotten that it even existed. Vendoring dependencies is one of those things where every once and a while a language will reintroduce the concept, and it always seems to catch people off guard. Go is a good example, although it seems to have varying advice about whether vendored dependencies should be checked in to version control. That might not be surprising considering that Go is also coming out of Google, just like this article.

It feels a little bit weird to say that this is just "industry practice" when you have the Chrome DevTools team telling you they don't do it, but :shrug:. Google does tend to be a bit of a rarity in how it treats monorepos. I'm just always interested to see how opinions on this have evolved; it's rare for me to see analysis that says, "we used to do this, and here's why we found out that it didn't work." Usually the opinions end up seeming more universalist, like the very idea of vendoring dependencies is somehow weird and unexpected, and not something that the industry was largely on board with for a decent amount of time.
It’s a real shame to use a rubidium clock but use only the initial ntp sync value to base it off of as your source of truth. Ntp, aside from only having ok accuracy, takes time to settle. This would be much cooler with a gps time source.

You would not interpret the Mandarin sentence correctly if you just looked up each character in a Classical Chinese dictionary. 他 was not a pronoun in Classical Chinese, but rather meant “other.” 這 was the verb “to meet.”

If you look it up character by character in a Mandarin dictionary, you can interpret it. And if you look up the Cantonese sentence character by character in a Cantonese dictionary, you can interpret it.
If the WAF blocks any request containing "{", that would be fairly safe, right?

Yes, some attacks could still get through (e.g. a backend that receives requests base64-encoded), but that's the case generally with WAFs I think.
Yeah Spartans were the aristocracy, then there were peasants (free but not citizens, Perioikoi) and serfs (Helots) below them. IIRC the Spartan aristocracy were originally Doric invaders who most likely created the rigid rules because they wanted to stay seperate and in charge of the conquered Helots (in kind of a caste system).
The set of all theorems, or even all statements, is countably infinite. The symbolic representation of a statement is only a string of characters and can be converted to a very large integer.

Even our notion of uncountable sets is itself countable, in that we use language to reason about them. It actually pretty sad - we’re are two-dimensional creatures in the three-dimensional world.
If a library requires pyparsing>=3 and another library requests pyparsing<3, that’s the end, you are out of business.

This article is very much only applicable to Python and other package managers that don't scope dependencies. I think nuget (.NET) also works like this.

In Nodejs land, if you depend on pkg v3, and another dependency needs v2, they'll happily co-exist with no trouble, as long as those v2 and v3 didn't need to talk to each other. If you did only want one version of a package, that is also supported with peerDependencies.
Well it depends. I do program in couple of languages, i do re and i still know a bit of assembler. If youve got right skills (sorry guys with just php and js) then i believe its not an issue. That might change, i will let you know when i hit 45 though im planning to be on retirement at that point :) but i do learn constantly, im not sure if thats true for every developer
Alternatively, buy an actual coffee machine. I can recommend the Breville Double Boiler or the Barista Pro and do away with pods entirely.

This is all horrible advice and other commenters have rightfully pointed this out already so I won't repeat it more… (okay, once more: This is all horrible advice, don't do that)

But, there is one thing I like from this, which is git diffs showing the actual final code diff when you upgrade dependencies.

Of course, this being horrible advice, it ignores how many JS packages ship minified which would make the diff as useful as binary noise. But I like it in theory. This could be a good opportunity to write a tool that replicates this specifically (and what's more, for other languages as well)
We (younger than 30ish) are in for some crazy times IMO

You can order parts to reliably make guns fully automatic straight to your door, thousands of rounds of ammunition for a weeks worth of minimum wage work straight to your door, poisons such as what this article refers to straight to your door… gun suppressors straight to your door…

I just think were going to see a ton of people in the US snapping and doing crazy shit if we fall into economic decline & keep dismantling our social safety nets.

When I was living in San Diego, I became aware of a dude in a totally normal ass suburb leaving poisoned meat around the entire block, for months on end, after the apparent last straw of dog shit on his lawn snapped. I’m not entirely sure why, but everybody knew - and the cops/city did nothing/were unable to do anything about it. Would be crazy to find out if he was getting whatever poison he used straight from Amazon.

Warnings happen minutes before, and last 15-30 mins, maybe an hour. These are not long lasting events.

Notice you did not say that your workplace "shut down" or "told employees to go home" or anything like that

No. The stakeholders are busy patching their shit. Pulling folks into meetings shouldn't be the priority when teams around the world in virtually every tech organizations are in firefighting mode.

Most node modules (and I’m pretty sure is best practice) do not minify published node module code. The user should decide if they want to/how to minify. I often go in an read node module code and although it might have been transpiled for compatibility, it is not minified.
Any idea about suspects? Most fingers will point to China or Pakistan, I personally believe the former.

Also, Twitter has time and again been embarrassed at a global stage due to these hacks. When do they plan to step up their game?
This is how I taught myself to ride a bike when I was a kid.

I eventually figured out (through trial and error) the actual technique to maintaining balance: if you feel yourself falling to the left, turn the handlebars slightly to the left, and if you feel yourself falling to the right, turn the handlebars slightly to the right.

I suppose kids these days learn this intuitively with balance bikes but it was a real lightbulb moment for me and I suspect I would have learned much more quickly if someone had explained it that way.
I have never once dropped what I was doing an rushed to a shelter unless forced to do so by overriding company policy while at my employers place of business.

If I am operating under my own accord if a warning is issued I normally find the nearest weather resource with active tracking of the cell to see if I should even care as warning are no where near targeted enough

If I am in path of the storm I then look to see if this is a confirmed or radar based warning, I then look to other sources (including visual outside) to my my own determination on if it is proper to shelter. 80% of the time I make the choice of Nope do not need to bother
Some of the news channels where my parents live have experimented with outsourcing and/or prerecording their weather reports. On one channel, the daily weather report talks about yesterday's weather and tomorrow's weather, but skips things like the current day's high temperature because it hasn't happened yet when that segment was recorded. Although I suppose if the anchors are live they can jump in with an emergency warning.
Did somebody pegasus his password?
Make it absolutely, unavoidably painful to be caught with private data, to the tune of increasing percentages of the total value of a company, like 3% per day of offenses. Make it retroactive - get caught running illegal data harvesting for a month and you're liquidated. Make 80-90% paid directly to the victims and 10% to a whistle-blower if there is one, and the enforcement agency. Require jail time for egregious offenses, and include any managing bodies and boards. Make liability apply to individuals regardless of any other consideration so the owners can't just bankrupt and run.

Make it "fuck around and find out" painful.

We'd throw the book at people creeping into our homes and vehicles and places of work to gather data on us in person. The fact that they're using barely perceived surveillance apparatus shouldn't factor into how we treat it.
> literary merit most would be promptly dumped in the garbage

Hmm. This is utterly wrong.

I am dismayed by this attitude towards scifi writing based on the socalled "literary merit". What is literary merit? It's a measurement of the writer's ability to use human language to convey ideas. Just that. That skill is tangible between different content as well. Just because SciFi idea and a human emotional idea are different, do not translate into different literary merit.

Now back to the judge on "writer's ability to use human language to convey ideas".

Really, in what sense the SciFi writers are inferior to other literary writers in this measurement?

Isn't that SciFi writing are not poetic? Of course, SciFi are not poets. And if there is a poetic story, I see not reason why any SciFi writers cannot be poetic. Dune, in some parts, are certainly very poetic. Just because the content is not poetic, which would be a wrong choice to use poetic wordings, that does not dminish the litrary value.

Isn't that SciFi writing are not sophisticated enough? No, scifi's sophistication is the ideas, the ideas that builton futuristic technology and human environments. Those ideas are certainly less emotionally attached than other writings. But again, those ideas are better served in the SciFi writing. One can say SciFi ideas are less literary, but one cannot say SciFi writings are less litrary.

The list goes on and on...

This attitude towards SciFi itself is a symptom of the resistance from the stagnant literary community.

I totally disagree. The real me is not "terrible". I'm just a normal person, I have good days and bad days.

Some days I'm energetic, up for the challenge, other days I'm lazy and don't want to talk to anyone.

I don't think that makes me a "terrible" person as you suggest. But if I present the full range of my personality, no employer will take that risk.

If you believe so, then you're naive.

Twitter should have 2FA enabled by default. Most national governments, agencies and leaders are on twitter. Passwords are inherently insecure and things can get ugly real fast.
I know pulling in lots of dependencies from various anonymous authors is a security risk. Can you be sure that all of the code has been vetted? This seems exacerbate this. You’re allowing developers to check in anything without oversight and it will be ignored just because it’s in this particular folder
sounds like states should put their public sector on the fedi instead.
I'm not sure about that: there are companies in this country, which have a heavy buy in into Azure products and offerings. Similarly for Oracle, GCP and also the same way for AWS. And attempting to use the platform that's not adopted in the company (e.g. wanting AWS when Oracle is what's been used for years) is a non starter.

The reasons for choosing one over the other are probably plentiful, as are the advantages and disadvantages of each. Personally, i think that the cloud more or less always results in bunches of risks and vendor lock. Of course, one can also talk about the track record of each of the companies, but i think that all of them fail a litmus test in one way or another (Google with privacy issues, Microsoft with "embrace, extend, extinguish", Amazon with what working there is like, Oracle with their licensing).

Most people out there want managed services for some reason, rather than to run their own FOSS software instances in containers or something. I guess maybe because they don't want to be the ones held responsible for something not working, since saying that "the Azure/GCP/AWS/Oracle service is down" absolves them of much responsibility.
>>>Tornado and other storm warnings haven't been issued by county for several years now... depending on how you get your storm alerts, you might still be alerted by county, though-- that's my big complaint about the current state of weather radio

To a normal person this is perceived as as a warning being issued for them, even if you are technically correct that the NWS only target a narrow polygon, if a person phone lights up with an EAS saying "Tornado warning", or their TV, or weather radio, that is perceived as them personally being issued a tornado warning.
When I last checked with a nuclear professional, he said that nuclear waste is not really a problem. We can easily store million times more of it, it doesn't really cost that much in the grand scheme of things.

Cantonese is not a dialect of Mandarin, rather it is a dialect of Chinese. The fact is that Cantonese is close to classical written Chinese than northern dialects. The writing system was unified thousands years go, but not the spoken language. A classic text written by a Cantonese a thousand years ago could be understandable by someone in Beijing that time. Mandarin was created afterwards and was mainly based on northern dialects.

The difference is that traditional written language was very formal, and far from spoken language. Now whatever written online are very close to spoken language. I wouldn't understand many words the kids in my city use.

You can order parts to make your gun fully automatic straight to your door without filling out a Form 4 if you want to commit a federal crime that the ATF likely will follow up on. You can order suppressors straight to your door without filling out a Form 4 if you want to commit a federal crime that the ATF likely will follow up on. You can _not_ buy thousands of rounds worth of any ammo other than .22 with a week's worth of minimum wage pay (if you know something that I don't, let me know where you're finding these deals). The time will probably come for poison like this very soon.

None of this is to say that terrorism isn't fairly easy, all things considered. The law does very little to stop these things before they happen. The big takeaway is that the vast majority of people aren't violent and unreasonable. You've always been able to do these things, usually more easily in the past than you could today, but we've never had issues with it (at least in the US) to the point where the average person you bump into on the street will have personally experienced it.
