> On the contrary, March 2020

I'm talking about credibility going forward. I said I agree with you for past events, and you again cite past events. The consequences of that intentional choice going forward are what matters.

> There is equity and also dividends, you just don't see it your portfolio because it's impossible to split the ownership of a bridge or an airport or a port.

Splitting the ownership of things like that to share in profits is literally how equity financing works. I'm not entitled to any profits that the government earns, should it ever actually have profits. Sure, I get to use the publicly owned land and airports, but to call that a dividend or equity is ridiculous. Your analogy would be like saying that since I am a google user, I therefore am a google shareholder. Similarly, a foreign citizen can also use our airports, it doesn't make them a shareholder of the nation.

> so again it's not just the Fed

You are reading past what I'm saying. I never said it was just the fed, what I meant is that the fed at that time was probably the largest market participant and the force that kept rates low, manipulating the entire market despite there being other participants. That's the point of QE-- to entice people to take debt in an environment when the free market can't provide sufficient lending. Note also as I said, many of the 60-40 portfolios are forced-- managers contractually must keep a 40% allocation of bonds.

Well I disagree. Life is better without disposable products. Life is better with less things in general.

I use almost no disposable products. I think the disposable products I do use once, would be floss picks and fuel for the car. I even avoid buying trash bags and just reuse grocery bags. My carbon footprint is on the order of a village dweller from a third world country, and I don't even do it because of my carbon footprint, I do it because life is better when it is simpler. I'm not a hermit, I have an active social life and an active life in general. And my life is good, better than it was when I had a bunch of things and lived in an apartment.

I don't care about carbon emissions, the collective, any of that, and I am doing vastly more for those causes than 99% of the people that lecture me about them, and my only motivator is living by my standards, being honest with myself. That's all it takes, if you care about these things live like it, if you can't be bothered to live by what you say then quite frankly shut the fuck up about it.

If you don’t have the skills to find a better job, consider using your free time to develop those skills. If you think of yourself as a student who has a job to cover living expenses, maybe you will feel motivated and excited. You have an opportunity to work towards a better life and have your costs covered by someone else. It’s all about how you look at it.
It is of course true that we have some choices. But we have less power than the companies that shelf and produce all of that stuff.

Each company has their own marketing department. Public Relations is the science of manipulating desire, developed for over one-hundred years now. And they just have to focus on selling their coffee machines or whatever.

Take just one commodity as an example. A soda. They sometimes put just a little bit of salt in it to (1) mask the sweet flavor, and (2) to make you more thirsty. But you of course don’t notice any salty taste or the fact that it is unreasonably sugary because the salt and the sugar (to a point) cancel each other out. But a reasonably conscientious consumer could read the what’s-in-this-shit label, go on a message board and convince a lot of others (hundreds? thousands?s) to do a boycot campaign until all major producers start to issue “no salty business” labels on their products, so that the somewhat less conscientious consumers can pick the no-salt options without reading the what’s-in-this-crap label.

Now you just repeat the above step for all of the hundreds of items that you have to buy.

Who has time to do that on a big enough scale? No, not just on the scale of getting the bragging right of “I consume X times less than the average person”;[1] we’re talking about actually pressuring companies (with our awesome wallet power[1]) to stop producing whole lines of products.

Each company just has to sell their coffee machines or whatever else. And you just have to do wade through and make sense of the the propaganda given out by dozens/hundreds of companies, for hundreds to thousands of product lines.

[1]: Some fringe “anti-consumption” lifestyle groups does not threaten the bottom-line of any company.

[2]: Speaking of which: one can of course vote with one’s wallet. That is a form of power. But here the issue of how relative that power is painfully obvious: some (most) people have wallets (including savings) consisting of hundreds to thousands of dollars, while some people (and entities) have wallets with hundres of millions of dollars. This is not a one-person-one-vote kind of power!

With this thread, wondering what specs/guidelines (if any) are there for common option behavior?

For example,

-h, —-help

Spammers target the lower part of the bell curve. If you let that part evaluate the quality of the results, do you think that they will recognize spam?

Personally I would argue that UI should always be a function of state. When it isn’t, you open yourself up to all sorts of inconsistencies and difficult edge cases. Of course, it’s not always that easy; having two sources for said UI (the HTML document itself and the JavaScript within it) certainly complicates matters.
It would be nice if you’d made those findings publicly available.

What Is “Doomscrolling”?
When I first read something using the term "doomscrolling" or "scroll of doom", my brain formed an understanding of it that focuses on the "scrolling", characterized by doom, as in being doomed to an eternal never-ending scrolling through something. Just like what the modern web afflicts onto its users.

Texts that used the term seemed to make sense with that definition.

These days "doomscrolling" is making big media headlines, and the definition media uses seems to focus on "doom" as in browsing bad news, and the "scrolling" part does not even fit the context. At least assuming simply scrolling would not only provide unwanted (unconsciously desired) bad news, but "doomscrolling" according to that definition would require some slightly more active form of consumption, like following links that fit the theme or explicit searches.

Was my understanding wrong in the first place, or is it a case of "hacker" once more? What is your definition?

Agreed, esbuild is nice. And adding TypeScript at some type of scale probably makes sense. Not sure where that line is, but in this simple example I’m trying to avoid all external tools.

Personally my approach is to treat the cover letter upload like an introduction email and not bother with all of the traditional cover letter stuff. Keep it simple like

> Changing that into "we shouldn't have any rich if we don't want to" is a strange reaction to making tech more accessible.

I am 100% in favor of giving people the option to log in with their phone instead of a password, if they want to. If that's all the article meant, I stand corrected.

But, I got the impression that the people quoted in the article were working to eventually remove passwords as a method of authentication. That's not cool, because it requires users to have a secondary device.

I don't think my impression was entirely unreasonable, because we're already seeing it in the number of websites forcing users to set up two factor authentication. Note that many of these so-called "two-factor" solutions allow the user to reset their password using only their phone (which is what really makes SIM-swapping such a problem), which means your password is effectively optional, but a phone is required.
I have an opinion on this, it is stupid but the more I think about it the more I am convinced I am right.

getopt is lipstick on a pig.

dashed argument are ugly and hard to read.

The worst offenders, programs that implement a language in the args. if you do this just build a proper parser and leave off the dashes. the worst offenders.

iptables
find
megacli

megacli, remember that? it was the control application for lsi megaraid cards, it was the program that turned me off getopt style args. when I figured out that the megacli parse let you drop the dashes(and the obnoxious capitalization) it was like a breath of fresh air in a fart filled room.

So a better way to do args? use dd style args.
Yes dd, dd had it right all this time, I find "key=value" style args to be superior to "--key value" and don't even get me started on the absurdity of "--key=value"
The question is what do you mean by "image URL". Is this a poster, hero image, site logo, the content of the post itself? This is what is lacking.

In RSS the main media attachment is the <enclosure> element. However like a lot of things in RSS it is poorly specified. For example it isn't even clear if you can have multiple. If you have multiple are they different representations of the same resource or different resources?

https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html#ltenclosuregtSu...

The solution to this is the Media RSS spec. (Which is also commonly used in Atom. XML namespaces are actually kinda nice.) This is a lot better if only because they contain the <group> element which makes it clear what different things mean. (Different representations or different resources.) Unfortunately support is still varied and it isn't always clear if this is just a copy of every image in the post (WordPress...), only semantically relevant images, or images that are the point of the entry but don't appear in the post.

https://www.rssboard.org/media-rss

So unfortunately the best path forward is probably yet another standard that makes these clear from the outset, and hoping that people actually follow the rules. Not an easy path forward.

Again, I'm not an expert on media in feeds, but based on the feeds I have seen trying to write a feed reader I would do the following if I was creating a feed with media in it.

1. Use Media RSS. Don't use <enclosure> at all unless you are a podcast.

2. Only reference interesting images directly. You are welcome to include whatever you want in the HTML for stylistic reasons but don't put reference it outside of the HTML unless it is actually an interesting image.

3. Put every media element in a group. Basically because WordPress puts everything into a media element and it is unclear if these are the same images, duplicates or even interesting at all (I don't need the author's avatar listed in the media elements WordPress...). Even if you only have one representation put it in a group just because it is unambiguous what you mean.

If anyone has more experience here I would love to hear what you think.

I mean speaking for myself, I mostly make robotics web apps which isn't the most typical of web applications but the times this sort of thing is needed are few and far between.

So yes, this pattern is helpful for solving that sort of thing when it occurs (and if the use case is even substantial enough to warrant it) and Lit looks like it would fit that role reasonably well, but basing the entire site on this principle as a full on framework seems a bit ludicrous.

What html actually lacks is the option to include external html part files, but there are lots of ways to do that serverside that don't involve the stupid idea of putting html into strings in js files for literally everything.

For me, it's about not being late or having to skip tasks (e.g. shaving). I used to also enjoy doing everything the "hard" way (e.g. pourover coffee instead of using a machine, and especially shaving with a double-edged safety razor instead of an electric razor).

However, there were times I had to skip coffee making to start a commute on time. The tipping point was when I was slightly late for a couple of low-stakes meetings because shaving with a safety razor took so long (lather, three passes, rinse), so I had to take an alternative commuting route after missing a train. There were other times when I chose to skip shaving and buy coffee outside to make a meeting on time (taking extra time to walk to the coffee shop, line up, and buy coffee).

I remembered never having these issues of having to skip shaving when using an electric razor. I've now returned to using one for most days, and also usually use a brew machine. It's nicer to have less stress in the morning.

You could say that I could manage my time better in the morning by waking up an extra half hour earlier, but I've found it very nice to make my life a bit easier while other parts of my days are more stressful.
What is the best source to learn more about replacing ChromeOS with Linux? When I was briefly considering this, I found most of the Chromebooks came with non-replaceable eMMC (<64GB), soldered ram (~4GB), or 720p resolution.

I am willing to adjust my performance expectations considerably, but the non-expandable storage has made me think I am in for a world of annoyance if I want to use anything other than a web browser.

There's been quite a lot of techie related content - pages for programming languages, OSS projects, etc. that were deleted as a result of the overly aggressive deletion policies, IMO. No, I'm not going to give you a list though, because I'm not interested in spending my time here arguing over the minutia of whether or not a given page is "really notable". Not wanting to waste my time on that crap is one reason I rarely edit WP anymore, and I'm not going to re-engage in that here. You can find your own examples, or simply disregard my blathering, it's all the same to me either way.

For some reason, my time shaving with cartridges gave me the worst acne of my life by far -- including one zit that somehow festered into a massive welt that continuously refilled with fluid and wouldn't go away for several years. (I still have the scar) I still think there was something wrong with the shaving cream because my dermatologist was just as perplexed as I was and he was clearly out of his element as he seemed to be blindly throwing whatever he could at the problem.

These were the inexpensive mail-order discount razors and the special shave butter they advertised, I forget the name of the company but it was the first one I was aware of that bypassed the Gilette racket by doing everything via mail. (edit- DollarShaveClub?)

Smooth or not, I'm sticking with my electric razor.

> React and Vue [...] exist so that you write your application in a declarative way where the view is rendered as a function of state

Exactly. To elaborate, here's the big, big caveat in a miniature form:

https://github.com/1Marc/todomvc-vanillajs-2022/blob/854dd40...

Note that this clears and recreates the DOM on every action (eg mark complete), and DOM ops are the most expensive ones. This is a sound strategy for vanilla JS, because the alternative is mutating the DOM and keeping it in sync which is error prone to put it mildly.

I use frameworks very sparingly, and am always cautious with deps. But a reactive UI/diff engine is non-negotiable for me.
Hey Joeri, thank you! I've previously lived in the Antwerp province.

The whole time of my stay, I was in love with the city's visual identity (posters, website,..) and the effectiveness of digital services across the administration offices, public institutions and media centers. It's the one city in Belgium taking advantage, in the best way, of digital infrastructure and modern tech.

Nowadays I'm living in the Ardennes (Bastogne) where I can see a huge gap (compared to Antwerp) in Internet services and tech investments. I'm grateful to the people at Digipolis and the city offices taking visionary steps in fostering the local tech scene and building beautiful interfaces/apps.

If you're watching the videos from Ukraine - the Russians are pretty much doing it all wrong. You do not send tanks into cities unless they're following infantry who are clearing houses & rooftops. You do not leave your tanks parked in a nice neat line on a country road. When your unit comes under fire, you do not just sit there.

Why are the Russians doing these things when they know it's bad for their health? They don't have much of an NCO cadre. In a modern military, the NCOs have the experience and the authority to make sure stuff happens rapidly and correctly. They will have made sure the junior enlisted know how to operate and maintain their weapon & gear, and are able to do the mission without fucking up.
