Europe, Europe, and Europe. But it isn't actually a war. A war is a horrible, brutal thing. Wikipedia tells us:

> War is an intense armed conflict between states, governments, societies, or paramilitary groups such as mercenaries, insurgents, and militias. It is generally characterized by extreme violence, aggression, destruction, and mortality, using regular or irregular military forces.

When you describe what the rest of us would call 'poor relations' as war, it raises the question of what you call it when thousands are drafted and brutally slaughtered. If this also is to be called 'war', then it raises the question: if you're already at war with them, what difference does it make if you decide to draft a few million young men and send them over there? Or for that matter a few strategic offensive weapons (colloquially known as nukes)?

Alternatively, you may contend that what everyone else calls "war" you call, let's say, "war 2". But in that case, your definition is unique to you, and is not terribly useful for communicating with other people.
I mean... Have you tried posting links to articles apart from your own medium and twitter accounts?

I think general etiquette with discussion forums is to post links to a variety of sources, not just your own content.
This article was a painful read. It was a long drawn out word salad, or shall I say "verbal diarrhea" of socialist complaining with no backing at all on any of the talking points.
> We’ll only see real change if semi-skilled and skilled positions start atrophying from major corporations. And there’s little chance of that happening now. We’re far too extravagant. Even people making $100,000 are leveraged up to their eyeballs in unnecessary luxury. Our marketers are effective.

This basically hits the nail on the head. You (probably) have way too much shit and spend way too much money. And the marketers are effective. You don't feel like you've made it unless you've spend all that money on extravagant creature comforts and status items. You rationalize why you need those things, but you don't. And you'll remain a slave as long as this is the case. Comfortable, but a slave still.
At my Christian high school in the 90s, one of my teachers told the class that the purpose of meditation was to empty the mind to let the devil in. I think this is more typical of fundamentalist types.
Totally anecdotally, lagging comp and bureaucracy are much bigger sources of attrition than remote work. For the most part, anyone who wants to go remote can.
Yes, but I can assure you there are vast differences.

Worked for many tier 1 investment banks in the techiest corners of each org and some cases felt like startups with all the shiny new toys everyone else was using vs the dark ages of customized software straight from the nineties or some other entirely-in-house-built abomination in other places.

I remember when PsyOp used to just be something you'd hear in an Alex Jones rant. Truly strange times.
I think SPA tooling solves a composability issue that people didn't realize they had, and so SPAs are used in a lot of instances where MPAs make way more sense and would be more performant, because the developers want to utilize the composability of components. The fact that SSR is a feature for React and Vue makes me think a lot of projects were really just aching for composability, not interactivity and dynamic data features of SPAs.

A think a lot of backend frameworks offer some attempts at frontend composability on the serverside but it's usually not the same approach that SPA tooling uses. I would love to get people's thoughts on backend tooling that is attempting to solve composability in a serious way, not just tacked onto an existing MVC framework.
University bookstores used to have some really great and obscure technical books. Not sure if they still do, but they were worth browsing, some you can’t do online. B&N and Border would occasionally have something interesting in their technical sections, but they increasingly got stuffed with dummy books and just people trying to milk a certain gravy train (never write those books).

I didn't get that at all from it. I didn't see a real push for socialist talking points, mention of unions aside. Basically the article says "there's no going back, but this isn't the way forward, and the only solution I can see is for people to voluntarily consume less so that they have more financial security."
What a total nonsense. I’m quite old in our industry standards and remember all this ”great and easy” way of working with backend templates and struggle to find it much easier than working with SPAs.

I also thank computer gods for SPAs each time I click in Github and wait for it junky slow interface to reload whole page.

Please save us from likes of ROR etc. that is slow and has awful user experience. Just try to use Basecamp. It’s so ugly, slow and free of any features at all that your eyes will bleed.

I personally am totally for ditching html and css from the browsers and just leave JS with some nice APIs (without DOM nonsense) and let us work with web apps like we would with desktop apps.

Web is not for documents any more. Just get over it.
What I really don't get is why we don't just expose SQL directly at this point. Is it just security? Database servers have fairly extensive authentication and authorization models.
It fixes that in the same way as smuggling does, in other words it doesn't.

I thought young kids go to bed really early, like 6:30 to 7:00ish pm for the very small ones, and some of that time would be taken up preparing and feeding them dinner.
A lot of these problems that you mention: housing, and education, for example, are actually greatly caused by government intervention into free markets. Governments are adding all sorts of restrictions for building new houses, thus driving the prices up. The federal government is providing guaranteed loans to students for college, so colleges can charge whatever ludicrous price they want knowing that the loan will always be paid, even if the student defaults.
Yep is happening again...the government did not upgrade the power line. Very incompetent.
In your experience how often did the complex state have to be modelled on the backend as well as the frontend, to provide validation of submitted data?

And for personal interest, how did you handle streaming in updates and edits from multiple people, and stopping people from editing eg the same real estate listing at the same time? I know it can be done but I find it easier with server round trips for every request.

A corollary is looking at the prices of things that have declined the most. Like software - it's declined to $0.

And it's completely unregulated.
an interesting phrase is working as little as possible. This is an organizational issue more so than a motivation one. I work remote and am assigned all my work on a monday that is due by the end of the day friday. If I don't do it, there will be questions asked. Because of the way our company is organized, working as little as possible means working exactly as expected.

If one expects the government to provide, one doesn't need to plan for financial security.
In a brick-and-mortar business, closing time is when employees (i.e, non-owners) are in a hurry to get the store cleaned up and shut down so that they can go home. They’re tired and they might feel pressured to just get the sale done. Scammers know this and so closing time is a good time to come in and try to pass off a fake credit card with a stolen number. Weekends, when many less-seasoned employees work, is another popular time.

But components in web apps aren't really new. That's what ASP.NET and JSF was all about, waaaay back when.
The fraud indicator in this case is that the card is a dupe, hence why the machine couldn’t read it and the number needed to be manually entered. So when the charge went through, some poor soul elsewhere in the world had to issue a chargeback.

> From what I can tell most of the disagreement about SPAs results from devs who are building things that aren't app-like railing against their futility vs devs who are, who become perplexed by the vitriol when they have immediate experience with their architectural benefits.

The SPA criticics from the article and this thread have repeatedly said that their issue is not with building things that need the benefits an SPA architecture brings. The criticism is that the majority of SPAs are harmed by that architecture because it is the industry default and being used when it isn't appropriate.

This. I'm keeping an eye on the newer server side renderings like Remix because most of the time what I want is to be able to write components and have them render to HTML, with a few remaining interactive.

If Web components had got this right we the developers could have been happy and using composable components a decade ago.
The thing I love about this is that the entire trope about a robot uprising comes from this play about workers (translation of the Czech "robota") being mistreated and overthrowing their oppressors.
Presumably game creators will be able to purchase bandcamp music from right within Unreal soon. You already can purchase a variety of things like textures, models, code, etc.
Alright, I'll keep that in mind! Thank you for the suggestion :D

Comparing highly paid office work with slavery is incredibly insulting.
FATCA made life difficult for non-US banks supporting US-citizen customers. Many won't open new accounts, some forcibly closed existing accounts.
I was the only person in the SF office for an eBay team in Portland. The other CA people didn't bother coming into the office.

That was the loneliest job I've ever had. I was alone in a bank of desks, basically every day. The nearest group of people had nothing to do with my team.

I'm working on a personal project at the moment that uses a shared C++ core across Android and iOS. (It's an image processing plugin for Unity, no GUI, so cross platform frameworks aren't suitable). It was complicated to setup, but I'm glad I did. Only having to write 99% of the code once is a life saver.
If we were trying to make this work, it seems to me that Pathos is more applicable than Logos.

What is this even referring too? Java is everywhere, especially on the desktop. I wouldn't completely contradict and claim "more than ever", but it sure is not on a decline and/or fall. Applets are gone for good, but that's about it.
They surely can, it is a matter of using the right tools.

WPF hasn't had any serious investments for, what, 10 years, no?

But OP's point still stands - it is much less hacky than anything in the web ecosystem even so.
It isn't an incredibly military feat to march a few hundred miles from occupied territory into a nation with 1/10th of your GDP and a week later sort of control one city at the cost of thousands of your solders and hundreds of vehicles with no air definitive air superiority, shrinking supply of munitions, factories reliant on foreign parts that will soon grind to a halt, market heading toward freefall and a geopolitical position so bad that the only thing keeping the rest of the world from absolutely murdering them is a threat to murder the world combined with a reputation so degenerate that people believe they are apt to do it.

It is a humiliating defeat because it indicates that the cost of pacification would be outright horrifying. Full control might well cost a 5 figure death toll and could approach the Russian GDP and this indeed buys you what? The privilege of getting to literally square one in Afghanistan 2.0.
Yep, that's what I mean. And movie maybe implies too much action/drama/plot... Maybe it's more like a surveillance camera! I'd say it's just a general dampening of predictions, emotions, and explanations.

Instead of saying "I want my next job to be X", it's "I wonder what my next job will be". Instead of saying "I'm taking a walk to place Y", it's "I wonder where I'm walking to". Of course I can tell myself a destination, but statistically, I know it's far from certain. Looking backwards, instead of saying "You should have said hi to your neighbor", it's more like "I wonder why I acted that way". And it's not always in the direction of being helpless. Sometimes it's "I wonder why I'm exercising so much today".

At one point today, walking, I thought "I'm moving my left foot, I'm moving my right foot, my foot is touching the ground, it's weird that I don't usually think about this". That's meditation-ish, like watching the breath as a swinging gate, appreciating a normally automatic process for a bit. In my opinion, this goes beyond just breathing and walking, and extends into processes like writing and talking - words just kind of come. You can revise them and slow them down, but if you can step back, you might feel words just coming out of nowhere. Sam Harris, mentioned by others in this thread, has also described speech as being surreal in this way.

That's interesting because an outsourced recruiter contacted me recently about a Google role and very clearly needed to confirm that I would be able to return to an office one day a week.

I was confused why 1/5 was so much more powerful than 0/5. I sorta get 3/5 if you have a commitment to in-person culture. Anyway, the 1 per week doesn't at all line up with your more credible 3 per week.

Unless the headaches occur quickly under stimulus, it may take a while to get good data on this.

Take good notes, and maybe also take notes about food and beverage intakes, and sleep and general stress levels.

It could quite possibly be something else causing the headaches, and that something is associated with the chargers.

Also, a good time to follow headache hygeine. Drink plenty of water, avoid or reduce caffiene (not cold turkey), get your eyese checked etc.

I agree, but getting rid of supply restricting regulation isn’t enough.

Edit: I would argue that for healthcare, we would be better off with a fully government run system (though there are other better alternatives too). Humans just aren’t able to make good decisions about healthcare, and markets function nearly as well as they do for something like food, for example.
I've been working in fintech since 2014, and in tech since 2004.

Whether Stripe's price is worth it is subjective, but something that is absolute fact is that whatever you've built doesn't compare. I can tell you that with absolute certainty, even without having seen any of what you've built.

Consider this. Consider that you don't understand why what you perceive as the added value from Stripe Billing "isn't justified" (despite a LOT of businesses paying for it). Consider that you might be missing something. And you say you haven't even used your service in production yet?

This is a case of "could build the service in a weekend". Hey, have at it, but when customers come to you asking for a billing-related feature and you don't have it because you'd have to build it (instead of toggling a switch in a dashboard), or when your cron fails which causes incorrect billing and costs your business a lot of irrecoverable money (instead of just asking support for a correction), then think back about your choices.

Again, have at it, plenty of businesses do this themselves. But most of them regret it in hindsight, because it's not their core competency and shouldn't be.
The worst is when you have to use a piece of tracking or support software in your product and it pulls in a whole SPA with its own react/angular/whatever even when nothing is shown...
Let's not act like houses would be built properly without these regulations
This is just patently false. The company I work for, roughly 200 people, spends roughly $10k/month on software. Personally, I spend maybe $50/month.
Even better, bury it. It came from the ground, after all. Design the landfill to resist leaching and decomposition.
Well, I am sorry but in my eyes this just shows bad product quality, bad transparance and missing understanding of basic business stuff on the side of the product. The only reason for software to be existing is to NOT mandate users to check stuff manually.
Worse yet, with a traditional web app, you are in control of loading the page - or stopping the load, for that matter. With an SPA, it does all those requests in the background. Many apps fail silently (as in, don't refresh) if request to the backend fails.
Here's a fun toy problem:

A company wants to design a service with three operations. Signup(username, password), SetData(username, password, new_data) and GetData(username).

The client app is assumed to be trusted, but any server (no more than one though) could be compromised. Design a protocol so that the compromise does neither allow an attacker to update someone elses data, return wrong data, nor cause a denial of service.
I'd love to see additional pricing models for security consultants and MSSPs. This is a fantastic idea and I am curious to test it out! I think the same model of doing SOARlike work for alerts would also be effective in areas like MS's security portal(s) utilizing the graph security api. I have been using Threat Dragon to map network risk boundaries manually. Integration with Rumble might be a good future thought to do similar automation for non-cloud environments.
> Smart and YOUNG

I'm 21 :-)
Yeah, I saw your other comment and feel you nailed it.

Stripe needs to offer solutions 100x better than what we build, 10x as fast. That was the premise of the original product, now the “easy stuff” is glossed.

I won't know where you can go in order to get representative sample. But in general those are the main archetypes

- People that are absolutely horrified. I saw more than once expression "i ashamed to be russian. i now understand how germans felt after wwii and their guilt generation later"

- Totally oblivious to what is happening. In case they are shown footage of bombings they will say it's western fake

- Kinda realize what happening but say "donbass was 8 years under shelling, now it's their time"

- People who say "we are not interested in war or politics. can't we just finish conquering Ukraine so sanctions will end" (seriously)

- People who know exactly what is happening and happy about this. "Long overdue. Should have been done in 2014"

- People who really happy that there are sanctions because it will allow them to finally build independent from west country (lol)
I work for a company about which people talk a lot publicly (and which I do not represent officially or speak for in any sense), and I tend to feel the same way.

Eighty times out of a hundred, it's solid signal of something.

Nineteen times out of a hundred, it's hilariously off base in a way that's good for a laugh.

It's only maybe that one percent that I wish someone had kept their rude/bad/ignorant/whatever opinion to themselves -- but the eighty percent are worth being 'put on blast' however many times, because that's how you stay focused on making things better. (And the nineteen remind you not to take it too seriously)
