Regarding "require" vs "import", I find this to be a constant nightmare trying to choose one or the other. The browser and tooling for writing for the browser has all-around excellent support for using "import".

Then, at some point, I want to run some unit tests using Jest or something, and it turns into a total fucking nightmare. Each bit of tooling has certain expectations for how it expects you to import--relative vs non-relative? Do you include the .js at the end? What about .ts at the end? (That one is always "no".) Do you need .js / .mjs or .cjs / .js? Do you use ts-node? Do you want to see a warning printed to stderr every time you run Node?
And there was Sails and any number of other attempts at this.

A key strength for Rails is Ruby and a key weakness for any aspiring JS equivalent is JS and the JS ecosystem.

If the Rails team had had to spend time adapting to 6 different alternatives to bundler, rack, and every other library they use it wouldn't be what it is today.
… and get considerably more for those taxes. When you do the math, the combined federal + state + local tax rate plus health insurance and related expenditures starts to look awfully close to what someone in Denmark gets, except that their services also work better (e.g. nobody has a part-time job fighting their insurance company to and/or hospital to pay the correct amount).
The context was introduced by the commenter. The original post does not use contexts. In general, there's a pretty common set of patterns in which multiple goroutines are writing data to different channels, and you need to ensure the data from those channels are processed with some level of priority.
I updated a custom package on 500 ESX servers using ssh. Just kicked it off asynchronously, used ssh to execute a single command and not get an interactive terminal, and logged the results to check for failures. I was in the support org, so I was pretty constrained on tool choice.
You clearly didn’t read past the first paragraph, so you get flagged. This was an actual, physical, book burning. In 2022. I hate this goddamn state
I don't think "Meta" will die, but "Facebook" might... Meta being the parent company, Facebook being a sub company... As long as Meta keeps something running (I am going to guess that Facebook Infrastructure might be spun out and used as a separate entity) they may have other stuff as a post Facebook project... This whole "Metaverse" thing is one of those that might end up replacing Facebook... then again, both could die and something else takes over... [Edit] Doesn't directly answer your question... but if internal dev still need React, they will keep it around...

I'm not intending to. I wasn't proposing all of that as separable questions. I was proposing it as a series of statements that I have no material means to say anything about.

> Why would it? Does it sense and produce a mind?

I don't know what a mind is supposed to be in this context, or its importance. I don't identify my perspective with my thoughts. My thoughts are something a body does. My perspective is just my location. After death, my thoughts will cease. My location will not change.
Your idea of what PHP is is old, that comparison doesn’t really hold. Laravel in particular is extremely advanced similar to Rails.
Everyone does, because a) you get to control the messaging to the user, and b) once they've declined the OS prompt, you can never re-do in your app, whereas if they decline your own prompt, you can ask them again whenever you like, like when you know they've just had a positive experience.
It took me more than half a day to get the repo cloned & make it compile.
I won't attempt to contribute to firefox again.
Haha that was my reaction when I first picked up Laravel.

I'm pretty sure every new dev has the same reaction when picking up their first opinionated framework.
The answers to this in 2022:

1. Doesn't matter so much as long as you're using newest versions of either one. Newest yarn has plugin support which is neat. Npm has more stable backing and an open roadmap. Could be some considerations regarding monorepo support, but otherwise either is fine.

2. Yes

3. Use ES6 modules

4. Jest + Cypress

5. Vite
> > Transactions are final. The merchant has no risk of chargebacks.

> You realise that's a bad thing, right?

Frauds where people ask for payment via Venmo or Paypal for Craigslist transactions are incredibly common. Craigslist recommends using cash to avoid getting defrauded, because transactions being final is a feature for in-person transactions, and a good one at that.
This headline is problematic
I agree with the author's core assertion that throwing too many decisions at a project right away makes it difficult to even get started. It increases the risk of hitting analysis paralysis right away. I've rarely worked with Rails, but when I did, I really enjoyed its approach to sensible defaults, easily overridden if needed. I hope that's still available, and I think other frameworks benefit from following that approach.
Nothing is stopping anyone form privately funding science... let private funds and the government compete. As long as both sides are open to peer review.
Indira is part of the dynasty. Her father Nehru the first Prime minister won 0 votes within the congress. Yet as fate would have he was propped up by M.K. Gandhi, the non-member dictator of the congress party.

I as many other Indians suspect today was just a continuation of the colonial rule.

So Indira like her father was a continuation of the colonial rule.
> people aren't making up new symbols commonly.

Ummm.... China/Japan was making up new symbols constantly. Which is why UTF-16 failed. We Westerners have small alphabets and less of the image/iconography culture than the Eastern world.

I can absolutely see this "iconography" culture in China/Japan being a major reason for fax machines.
Sure but then having those jobs for 3 months at a time still looks shady
> I think the big problem with Wikipedia's design is that it caters to too many audiences with disparate needs using the same interface, both reading and navigating and cross-referencing and editing.

> I think perhaps having multiple views for different needs would be a way forward.

I think what this thread is missing is that Encarta and Wikipedia are vastly different products. If Wikipedia had multiple views for different needs it would literally die, because it's community edited. If its UI encouraged staying withing a narrow lane, then it would have even more problems with getting readers to cross over to being editors.
It's an invalid property in Firefox, yes, so you're not seeing its effects.

Firefox may simply not display it in the inspector, I'm not sure!

Anyway it's in app.css on line 185; it's applied as a body style. Looks like it comes from Zurb Foundation (ugh).

That's interesting that Ruby is as slow as it is, the regex engine (Onigmo) is written in C. I wonder where the bottleneck is compared to the other languages.
Because I’m curious. Why ask any question? Is it a hard question to answer?
To your first question, yes I think it does. Government coercing my decisions is negative ( individually, not necessarily society/humanity ). In the same way, if government policy mandated televisions to be twice the cost because they deemed it hindered education, that would make me worse off as a consumer of televisions.

To your second question, I suppose I would argue that it lowers my standard living now, but _may_ raise the standard of living for posterity, since obviously climate change time scales are vastly greater than the effect of a tax now. However you could rightly argue that by UK citizens reducing their carbon footprint now, 3rd parties downwind directly benefit now by being less harmed by UK pollution, yes.
No you don’t need tracking for personalized ads. Apple defines tracking as sharing information about the user between distinct 3rd parties, while it personalizes ads based on your behavior within Apple’s own services.
Surely ”It's easy to understand” does not describe cryptocurrency transactions.
Certainly high energy costs, in the absence of any action to reduce energy usage, reduce standards of living. Ultimately almost every aspect of our "comfortable" life comes from expending energy - heating, concrete, entertainment, transport, home appliances, fertiliser, mechanised farming - at the heart of everything is external energy expenditure to make us comfortable.

However, in most cases comfort isn't proportional to energy expended. For a given heat, a well insulated room is as comfortable as a badly insulated one - but with less energy input. A modern computer is as useful (more so) than a Pentium 4, but with less energy input. An LED bulb provides as much light as an incandescent, but with less energy input. When energy becomes expensive, it makes energy saving worthwhile, which makes the return on investment higher, which draws in R&D money.

Honestly - I don't know for sure whether high energy costs will drive innovation, or just lower living standards for everyone. However, it's pretty clear that relying on fossil fuels isn't a good long term strategy, and that at historical energy prices (which don't take into account externalities at all) there's essentially no headroom for new energy saving R&D. High energy prices make efficiency improvements and novel energy production highly lucrative - and then capitalism can do the rest.

After writing lambdas for node, python, go and java/kotlin, my advice is use a deterministic, compile-time or generated DI (in Java world, something like Dagger) or simply write the setup script that wires the components together.

If you don't do this, your runtime DI will become one of the most expensive parts of your lambda stack. It will dramatically affect performance and your requirements for memory in ways it simply wouldn't for long running container services.
They were also surprisingly late at building their own datacenters for a company of their size, and ran in colo facilities like 200 Paul Avenue in San Francisco for a very long time.
Private companies care about capital efficiency, not service efficiency. The two concepts are occasionally related but not always. When it comes to public utilities, however, you want a guarantee that the latter concern will win over the former, always, even if it doesn't make economic sense. It's a guarantee that the private sector just cannot give - because their priority is profit, not service levels; they are only interested in delivering the minimum amount of service that results in profits. They can end up paying dividends even when the service is failing, by cannibalizing the business if necessary. This is not acceptable for public utilities.

Things can be run just fine by public institutions; the BBC is an example of that - despite the occasional inefficiency, it has managed to deliver high-quality content to pretty much everyone over the decades, and even spearheaded new technologies (from BBC micro to iPlayer). Which, incidentally, is why Tories hate it with such a passion.

As long as there is accountability and a degree of oversight, with an engaged public, state-run enterprises can do well. The problem is that the political classes have skirted their responsibilities.
> but remember to reduce your personal carbon footprint! /s

The best way to reduce your carbon emissions is to upgrade your life at the same time by electrifying it, as your economics permit.

Along with a silent zippy electric car, you get the added benefit of improving your local and hyper local air quality.

Definitely some exciting stuff like Redwood and Wasp working to solve these problems. I always loved what Meteor tried to do for this, though the JS ecosystem sort of evolved in a different direction.

This is a pretty huge assumption.
Do you lose the 5% if you aren't a prime customer? I though that was just 5% on Amazon purchases but I could be wrong. But I agree in terms of speed of delivery, a lot of items aren't prime (super dark patterns on this front) and the ones that are get delayed by a few days normally. I don't use Prime Video or anything else from Amazon so maybe I should re-consider my subscription. They are now just shy of what I pay for /every/ JetBrains product annually with a whole lot less useful for me.
But most crypto is anonymous, not private. It's usually worse than even banks since anyone can look up your transaction history given your wallet address. All it takes is one place where your wallet links to your identity and you have even less privacy than with banks.
> When the Fed is actually given the autonomy to do what’s right it’s a pretty effective system

Effective at what? By preventing recessions from fully proceeding, the Fed stops the cycle of creative destruction. It's certainly nicer for the employees of moribund businesses who don't get laid off, but according to economic reasoning (as applied everywhere else), they represent a misallocation of labor. At the large scale, bad bets end up being covered by the house rather than the investors who made them losing out.

> The skeptic in me questions the motivation of public figures who blame all economic woes on the Fed

This doesn't have any bearing on the truth of the matter. Given that analyzing the Fed is not a mainstream topic (especially for the blue tribe), the skeptic in you should do more questioning of the official narrative.

> it’s a good way to distract from America’s dismal fiscal policies

It is the US's dismal fiscal policy. Trillions of newly created dollars are handed to the financial industry, but escape political criticism as spending since they're "debt" that technically might have to be paid back (even though they will never be paid back, just like the legislative government's debt). Meanwhile any scrap that might mitigate the inflationary pain for the middle and lower classes gets scrutinized and shot down as a ridiculous handout. Consistency would mean either giving some of the newly printed money to individuals (MMT), or stopping the handouts to the financial industry.
Thank you! It's an established business.

In those times (and yes I am old enough to have actually used them) we used plainer normographs or lettering guides[0] where the ink pen was used directly inside the template.

Before the advent of so-called isograph/rapidograph pens, we used those weird looking pens as depicted in the wikipedia article and you had to be very, very careful as it was very easy to inadvertedly ruin a drawing with ink coming out of the (open top) reservoir.

>All I'm saying is that when it comes to emissions and climate change we need to look at it holistically, rather than come up with these mythical comic book villains.

I agree that someone that keeps the lights or TV on while he is not using them is also at fault but it is not possible to catch the person that is doing this , where it is easy to make illegal the behavior that is easy to control for. Maybe the gas will cost a bit more but this might encourage new technology to appear or green energy to take over.

I am curious if this happens somewhere in US and if there are results or is too socialist to ever happen? In my country(Romania) there is a tax for polution (for ex cars with old or big engines pay a bigger tax), this tax money goes into green programs, like persons can install solar panel or isolate their homes and the government will give you some money up to 90%. (I am expecting comments like the poor pay for the rich solar panels but IMO you could make the rules to add limits on who can benefit.
Roll safe tapping head meme

Can't switch to Rails if you never bought the SPA hype in the first place
By "not being serious" I mean that what you're saying lacks even internal consistency.
Um no. Tell me, what the point of that statement is other than to be a bigot and spreading hate? Could it have been left out, and less hate spread because of it, without changing the context they provided? So you see, it’s just there to spread hate.
If it's $500 a month, they might start to think about it. Or buy a more efficient car - which is what we'd hope would happen with high energy prices.
> there should never be more than one button

... which you have to look at, because the position and function changes. There is no muscle memory with dynamic UI.

I recall a visually impaired woman who couldn't hail an Uber. I could tell she was very fast with the old UI. But, the button had shifted. She was going to call her Husband to drive over from Oakland to pick her up in San Francisco. Instead, I showed her where the button was.
I wish developers would put as much effort into honing their technical communication skills as they do pursuing the latest and greatest new framework or language. This is really good stuff and I wish it was a more common skill set. Whenever a new grad / junior developer asks for advice on what languages/tools they should learn because they are worried they don't know enough, I tell them the biggest lacking skill is project management and communication skills. In the long list of skills that they think they are lacking, these are never included!
Sort of. Again, it's possible to personalize ads without tracking, unless tracking means "collecting literally any data, including order history for a logged-in user" or things like selecting ads based on geography for an address that you provided, not even GPS tracking or something like that.

It is entirely possible that the settings do totally different things, so the different language isn't some kind of trick. I think it's likely that picking either of those phrases and using it for both would result in the description of the respective settings being less accurate.

Swap the one that applies to applications to "disable personalized ads", rather than "disable tracking".

But it doesn't do that—does it? It disables (a certain kind of) tracking. The tracking may not even be used for ads. Apple has no way to guarantee that. You may still see personalized ads based on other data.

Make the Apple one "disable tracking" rather than "disable personalized ads". But the setting might not do that at all, while still disabling personalization. In fact, the ad personalization may not have been based on tracking in the first place, and even if it were, disabling personalization could very well leave the tracking in place.

The accusation was that Apple's describing the same thing two ways to give themselves an advantage, but I'd say the settings very likely do not do the same thing.
The real usecases where I need deterministic select, are so few that a small performance loss doesn't matter to me.
I have had too many discussions/arguments that were resolved as soon as it was deduced that the meanings of the words over which the discussion revolved meant different things to the interlocutors. And yes, I worded it that way to make a point: using large words with precise meaning requires a level of education that, sadly, is lacking these days. Too often I need to dumb-down my vocabulary which results either in a lack of precision or a wall of text to describe something in detail that a handful of multi-syllabic words could have done more concisely.
But you could burn it with a purpose, like in a generator.

Reading Muun's post on "security": their wallet holds one key on your device and the other key on their servers.

So at all times they have access to both of your keys that are used to sign transactions:

https://blog.muun.com/muuns-multisig-model/

--- start quote ---

Muun ensures your decrypted private keys are never stored in the same place:

- Your phone stores only the first key

- Muun's servers store only the second key

--- end quote ---

Oh, there's also the Emergency Kit that--I pinky swear--is encrypted in a way that Muun knows nothing about both keys in it.

Moreover, if you go ahead and install Muun, there's literally nothing about secret keys in the app: you can immediately send and receive bitcoin. Which really tells you all you need to know about its security.

One thing that is great about Japan though is that they design things to last as opposed to planned obsolescence that we so much like here in the West.
