", says IPCC" is missing from the headline. It's ironic this comes from the IPCC because it (increased anxiety etc) seems like it's exactly what the political climate change organizations want

We've definitely seen this with covid, people have been driven crazy with fear due to media and politicians trying to get people to pay attention to them, and not caring who gets caught up in the fear mongering.

We need a better rational approach to address challenges without trying to frame everything as an existential crisis. Such framing has a real negative effect on people . It polarizes, and it makes some people to nuts. And iy doesn't actually help solve the problem.
>The data is never in the cache.

Then you have a shitty app.

Between localstorage and indexdb - unless you're literally out of disk and having storage being evicted, then if you've loaded my app once (and I mean once, not once this browser session) then I have data in cache.

Basically - don't blame SPAs, blame developers for assuming that the same "request the data every page view" paradigm is still in play.

It's not, and storage is insanely cheap.

... The whole point about claiming islands is that they include an EEZ (exclusive economic zone). That's how you claim a 'whole sea'.

Of course, the real reason people argue over islands because it gets idiots riled up (Abe and successors depend on the nationalist vote, Xi depends on the nationalist faction, etc) and because geography in the far east is a mess of contradictions, so it's easy to make a plausible claim.

Foreign people getting excited over it is like a whole new meta level of stupidity.
What assurance does it give? I could "open source" the cmd files of my go app but keep the core libraries proprietary and the only folks who would call me out on it are the ones who understand what I did, everyone else will just see some folders in git and releases filled with binaries that aren't FOSS and think nothing of it. There are numerous examples of open source software doing shady things like telemetry and calling home too.

It also doesn't necessarily guarantee future use of the software unless someone is going to step up and maintain it. Keeping software current/compatible is quite onerous, especially for GUI apps.

I have a ton of family photos where I'm lucky if someone scribbled the year on the back; a bit more lucky if it's the month and year. The number of photos where names were written is way far less ("I remember Bob, but who is standing next to him?" "I don't know.").

Also, the 70s and early 80s were a bit more orange than I remember.
> The whitepaper is not an authority, the project is allowed to evolve and that doesn't make it illegitimate.

The whitepaper is a statement of intent, what the project is actually for. It can evolve into anything that still serves that intent, it can even shift it somewhat, but to go exactly 180 degrees contrary to the intent is like saying it's perfectly reasonable to set out building a shield, turn it into a sword and still insist that everybody else calls it a shield and any actual shields that exist after that point are impostors to the title.

People are observably stupid enough to do so, but that is not a shield, and BTC is not a global peer to peer currency. It is a settlement layer for banks; the exact opposite of what it was intended to be.

Nobody can spin that into sensibility. It is an attack by definition. Every other fork that has happened it was arguable, but the BTC fork was the exact opposite of what bitcoin was intended to achieve.

That's clearly not an accident, no matter how many people would desperately like to believe otherwise.

> Do you see the original whitepaper as something that's perfect? No room for improvement or change in the ideas presented there?

Not at all. Plenty of other unsabotaged cryptocurrencies exist right now that still serve the intent of the original project but use vastly different mechanics to do so, I sincerely hope they give BTC the death it so richly deserves. That's fine and desirable as long as the plane still flies instead of tries to write a strategic shift into becoming a lawn dart as some kind of desirable evolution.

> BTC has had tons of development

All of it firmly dedicated to cementing the sabotage of the settlement layer for banks betrayal in place. So even worse than none at all. It isn't that it's just stale, but it's actually directly harming the original mission and sucking air out of the room and diverting investment from that goal, fooling idiots who naively don't realise they've been hijacked entirely off the original mission.

> there are no "good and bad" guys. Respectfully, that's a pretty naive view of the world.

In the context of the mission yes there very much are, and those that betray it are "bad" in terms of bad for the mission. They might be ethically good overall if the mission turns out to be undesirable and all along what everybody wanted was just more banks and the power they allow people who control them to wield, but that is indeed an argument that I'm not particularly interested in mostly because of the reason you mistake my position for being; global ethics and morality are complex beasts subject to endless debate with very little progress toward an objective outcome.

Is x a betrayal or in service of mission y however is as easily defined as how precisely mission y was. And it was very precisely defined, and BTC is indisputably a betrayal of it and thus bad from the perspective of the mission.

I think it's a bit of a pendulum. The enthusiasm and excitement for open source was largely driven by the locked-down environment of the time. Access to source and high-quality free software with source was an exhilarating novelty.

But now we're kind of saturated, and used to it. Practically everything is free, it's not exciting anymore. New open source projects feel like just a drop in the bucket. Creators don't get the same sense of accomplishment from releasing new code.

It may be necessary for a whole new generation to experience how shitty it is to be stuck with for-pay locked-down software that gradually rots beneath you, juggling library licences, phoning IT help lines for trivial problems, and having to ship every few years to some new (expensive) hotness.

I picked up my new German passport two weeks ago, It took less than ten minutes total.

When I ordered it though - last October - I had to make an appointment just to order a new one - two months later, middle of December. Then it took 8 more weeks to actually get it. Still, I did not have to wait there for long. Also, this was all due to COVID measures. Without those there would not have been all those appointments for an appointment online registrations.

The paperwork for getting a new one itself did not take long either . and I was a special complicated case. I had let my mandatory registration slip for over a decade. I was surprised - I got zero complaints and they just entered the residence data retroactively and that was all. I had thought I'd at least have to pay a fine, since I actually violated law.
The GP was not saying "bad software is bad"; they pointed out a lot of footguns that are introduced by going the SPA route. "More code -> more (opportunities for) bugs" is the truism at play here.

> It's noted that it's not clear how much the atomic bombings influenced the decision to surrender,

My understanding is that communications between Hirohito and Stalin indicate that Japan was attempting to begin negotiation of a total surrender after Midway and that Truman's diary eludes to this moment. The main argument I've seen to contradict this is that they don't believe Japan wasn't actually going to accept a full surrender at this point.
This is what 10 year old me thought "Save As" in IE would do, but soon realized the harsh reality of "that's not how any of this works".
Technically, this was actually true in WWII. German army behavior in west was horrible, in east much much worst. Their behavior toward gypsies was super bad. And their behavior towards Jews worst of the worst.

But the range there is from "super bad" to "genocidal", so.
If I post there with an e-mail address, I sometimes get incoming, usually (not always) relevant interest, sometimes not. I set up a one-off account for yesterday's and got three relevant incoming messages, although I only want to talk to one of the companies.

I did get hired for a short consulting gig off a who wants to be hired thread a few years ago (They wanted an FTE relocation, but I was not sure it would work out, so I suggested I consult for a short period before a FTE relocation and - it did not work out. Probably more my fault than theirs.)

I look at some of these threads and see people says "Technologies: Java, Python, JavaScript, Ruby, C++, C". I don't know if this works or not, my posting is pretty focused. Most people I interview who just list Java programmer have difficulty answering slightly advanced questions about Java, I don't know what someone listing all those languages would know.

Not really "coping" skills, per se, but...

Personally, I've been preparing for $generic_disaster_scenario for about a decade now. Not nuclear exchange specifically, but the generic ability to live without external supply chain inputs for a long while, and to defend what we have from would-be thieves. (Although we do have a few fallout-specific supplies and procedures in place, too)

To most, this seems insane, so we keep very quiet about it. But my wife was very grateful for my insanity throughout COVID, and now again through the (still very very small) risk of a nuclear exchange.

I still don't understand why people buy health insurance, auto insurance, homeowner's insurance, etc, but regard it as a sign of mental illness to "buy" existential risk insurance.
> Exactly. I've been in the position various times

This is why React is such a popular JavaScript framework of libraries.
I don't see why there's a need for this explanation. If your end goal is to sell the software you make you shouldn't open source it.

The main use case for open source is software you USE, you release it into the wild so others also add to it and it becomes better for everyone to USE. See programming languages or frameworks. You're not selling the OSS, you're getting others to improve the OSS that you then use to create a closed source product.

Open sourcing software you intend to sell means it's either a trojan horse or someone else just sells it (in one case dishonest, in another case you get exploited).

As a chronic music pirate- I love Bandcamp. I've purchased more music through Bandcamp than anywhere else. I'm not going to let myself be bummed by this news until Bandcamp actually changes for the worse.

People thought cooler heads would prevail leading up to the Cuban missile crisis, "nuclear war isn't rational". It didn't play out that way and instead we came wayyy too close.

A few world leaders have a button. If any of them press it, the world ends. Our job is to make sure they don't. Probably makes sense to get rid of the button too...

To some extent the intent of the author matters, and in their "Just buy a license" pitch[1], the Qt company implicitly threatens lawsuits for GPL violations _if_ you use the open source version and fail to provide an adequate means to switch out the linked binaries. So the people who could enforce a copyright claim are drawing that distinction, which means it does matter here. In addition, they mix licenses between GPL and LGPL, so failing to take proper care means you could be relying on a GPL module and think you're ok by complying with the LGPL.

If the choice was between building a traditional app from scratch, or building an SPA from scratch, then I think the article would have a solid leg to stand on: building an SPA from scratch does involve finding ways around things that browsers provide out-of-the-box.

However, pretty much no one writes SPAs from scratch, and there exist many very popular frameworks that handle the vast majority of the common SPA tradeoffs out-of-the-box, so that in reality, you don't really have to think about e.g. whether links are internal or external.

That's not to say that SPAs are always a good idea, or that they do everything well — the author's point about scrolling to the right place, especially when navigating backwards and forwards, is one thing that many SPAs don't get right, for example. And the rise of next.js and the like have shown that there are other benefits to hybrid approaches, as well, and there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution.

As for why SPAs have become so popular, I think this can be summed up pretty neatly: everything is code. There's something appealing to a software engineer about being able to control everything about how your app behaves, control when and how it loads or preloads data, how navigation works, etc. This comes with tradeoffs, you have to be careful about breaking user expectations and making things accessible, and if you go too far you can end up with a big mess ("just because you can make everything custom doesn't mean you should"), but that underlying freedom to make those choices is appealing.

When Epic bought the game "Rocket League" they promised not to change anything. At that time it had Windows, Linux, Mac, xbox, and playstation clients. 6 months after they aquisition they killed off the linux client (even for people who bought in-game purchases).

Epic lies. It is what they do. They are the epitome of a dangerous megacorp.

When shopping for content around didgital platforms, the #1 decision that I take into account is how much of my purchase price actually goes back to the creator. Bandcamp seems to give the best cut for music, aside from directly purchasing from an artist's website, and Epic's acquisition might end up being a net positive for getting new users & overall growth. Personally I think it's a good fit and look forward to their success.

This is completely inaccurate. Every millisecond of load time affects conversion so much that they would trade huge amounts of CPU to speed up a page load.
I don't see why an official would publicly broadcast active wartime capabilities and tactics that might not be known.

And, there's a strong possibility that we're experiencing some psyops here, to make the Russians appear incompetent. There's an active war. If history has taught us anything, psyops is as sure as death, in war.

Terry Tao once famously published a result with non-mathematicians Denton et al., and was bombarded by responses (including my own first math paper) showing the result previously published in many different ways in several fields of math.

While that would be worse, being acquired doesn't have to be the only choice. The main reason everyone liked Bandcamp is its independence. That independence translated into an excellent marketplace which was great for users and artists. The preference is that Bandcamp continues to be Bandcamp, not part of an umbrella.

Hope that explains it a bit. I'm quite sad and pessimistic about this. We'll see how well our reactions fare in about 2-3 years.

It is annoying to see titles such as this, since SPAs are most certainly not a mistake (the article itself points out that the Youtube SPA is not a mistake).

The truth is most devs struggle to implement SPAs well. To implement an SPA well, you need to understand browser APIs extremely well (such as the History API), and in my experience, most devs don't, hence the broken back buttons etc.

To me, there is nothing nicer than a well made SPA, and often, the best SPAs are faster and lighter than the desktop apps they replace. I believe they are the best way to deliver software in the current age, and the sandbox that the browser offers actually provides users with a more secure execution environment than traditional software delivery mechanisms.

I personally LOVE SPAs.
So many mis-statements of fact here.

> They expected to win quickly and easily - and are shocked it did not happened.

Very possible, but neither you nor me are in the position to know that.

> Holodomor, which is still debated whether it counts as genocide or not.
For that matter, historically, Russia holding punches was not exactly the thing. Not even toward Russians.

The Holodomor was clearly a completely orthogonal issue to this as it wasn't a military conflict.

> Not even toward Russians.

What are you referencing in terms of conflict? Probably not chechens, because that would only go in favor of GPs point.

> War in Syria did not started by indiscriminate bombing of cities. It got there through series of escalations when rebels refused to give up.

Russia started intervening in 2015, 4 years into the civil war, and immediately began with indiscriminate bombardment of cities like Raqqa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_military_intervention_...)

> The idea that this will stop punches now that they are refusing, purely because both are white, is something only Americans can think.

The domestic opposition in Russia over killing far fewer people is already much larger than it was to the intervention over Syria which killed far more civilians early on.

It is not something "only Americans can think" that Russians care more about the lives of people of close ethnic relation to them as compared to Syrians.
