Definitely, thank you. Ankify really was present in every step of me learning programming.

I think I just got caught at a bad time with Python. It was a few years ago, and Python was in the process of going from 2 to 3. Consequently, a lot of the things I tried ended up throwing error messages.

I tried few of Python's GUI makers but found that I end up having to learn so many new things that only apply to that one GUI program. Where as with Electron, I'm really using HTML/CSS/tailwind that I use every where else. I could essentially make Ankify web only and it would make minimal difference to the UI.

I was fond of PyAutoGUI. It seemed very intuitive for me at the time.
With some patterns they can follow, vanilla js does indeed scale so well that it becomes boring. There’s no longer any code to rewrite for the latest and greatest frameworks. No dependencies to manage. It just becomes almost too easy at some point, at least in my experience with many projects I’ve led.

I’ve made millions and millions for major brands, including my own company, and customers go “wow how is your site so fast!!” All. The. Time.

The biggest pressure I’ve found is from the engineers themselves. Not all engineers like to go counter culture and learn browser APIs and JavaScript. They would simply like to use what everyone else is using. They tend to argue against vanilla using canned arguments read off of framework websites that don’t apply much or aren’t even problems in the actual codebase.

:shrug:
Callbacks are often isopmorphic to a big ball of mutable state, which Rust makes very painful.

It’s like the classic Joe Armstrong quite about getting the whole jungle when all you wanted is the banana.

You can do it, and if you check out the Gtk/QT bindings you’ll see the boilerplate it introduces. Not insurmountable but many people are interested in figuring out if there’s a better way.

Er, they have a muzzle velocity in the range of 1.6 km/s or 1600 m/s, about Mach 5.

As an aside, AFAIK the Rheinmetall 120mm used on the M1 and Leo2 tanks only have sabots and HEAT shells, no canister rounds or plain HE.
Agreed. It cuts both ways. Any idea even with positive intentions can be abused when taken to the extremes. That's what typically happens when the means becomes the end itself.
> The basic problem is that Wikipedia is a democracy

No, that is not the basic problem with Wikipedia. Had it been a democracy there would have been ways for Wikipedia readers and writers to influence what Wikipedia editors do. The 'talk' page gives the illusion of allowing such influence but in reality the decisions are made by an in-group which is mostly ideologically homogeneous. This in-group is not the same for all areas of interest but it is stable within interest areas.

Wikipedia is not a democracy, it is a collection of oligarchies - small fiefdoms united under an umbrella organisation which give them the semblance of being democratic. This problem is inherent in the way Wikipedia is organised, there is no neutral arbiter to appeal to when confronted with an ideologically homogeneous and censorious group of editors. The (only?) way out of this conundrum is the same as that for free software projects, namely to fork the project in the hope of creating a better version. While forking the content is easy - there are regular dumps which can be used for this purpose - it is another thing to actually host a successful fork. The Wikimedia foundation is sitting on a pile of donations and can afford the significant resources which go into hosting one of the most popular sites on the 'net. A fork could be hosted on IPFS or in some other way utilise peer-to-peer strategies to offload the burden of hosting popular content in a similar fashion to the way Peertube solves this problem. As far as I'm concerned the ultimate goal of any fork should be to eventually re-join the original project when the 'unbiased' version has shown to be the more popular one. While I do not doubt that an unbiased Wikipedia would be more popular than the current version it is questionable as to whether the Wikimedia foundation would agree on allowing such a re-merger to occur - time will tell.

My setup is similar to #3, local X server and ssh -X to my build box. I lean heavily on tmux for session persistence and use emacs -nw/emacsclient for editing. Lazygit is a handy addition, too.

This is reasonably similar to the setup I'd use locally, as my vision's been getting considerably worse over the years and I can tune the accessibility of this setup to taste.
This looks pretty slick, and the WebRTC seems like it might offer some choices of traversal that would work where others don't. The inbuilt tools for "chat" (seems a useful test), throughput and latency also seem nice. I've been running into some weirdnesses at times with Nebula and Zero Tier where it's unclear where my latency or throughput limits are coming from.

I'm looking forward to doing a lot more with overlay networks in the short term, I've been playing with a variety of them over the last 18 months or so and just need to pick something and start deploying it.
(Disclaimer: ex Apple, loved it, had great role in engineering)

Sounds like embarrassingly entitled attitude to me, if true.

Also, the reason in Steve Jobs and Tim Cook eras for NOT working remote, around where I worked, often involve necessity of accessing extremely expensive capitalized expenditures of equipment that are physically at work. As a representative (real) example, it's not like teams using a million dollar X are going to have individual duplicates of X (say, a CT scanner) purchased for each team member, so they can be remote.
and I'm saying that I obviously never said otherwise.

> We can guess a page was deleted

My interpretation was "the edits were quickly reverted and the editor's page remained flattering and devoid of evidence of notability."
There is not point currently in trying to fix an error when you read an article in Wikipedia. In the 99% of the cases is reverted automatically when you quit the page to keep the wrong statement. The momentum when it was cool to help there has passed.

> We deserve to have input into how we work best and if that means walking away from companies run by egomaniacs that need to see butts in seats, then so be it.

The logical conclusion of this line of thinking is to organize your coworkers. You have much more bargaining power about your work conditions as an organized union. The history of unionization stems primarily from workers demanding safe working environments.
Not multi-platform, unfortunately.

This is potentially a bad idea, and I can explain an actual use case that happened a few weeks ago.

My neighbour had dropped her phone in some water, it was a Samsung S21, and the screen was messed up. The moment you tried to activate the screen, lines would appear across it. It was unusable.

Thankfully she had a spare phone available to use, but she needed to get a bunch of things setup on there (Google Mail, NHS for the Covid pass as she was travelling abroad).

She ran into an issue authenticating her Google Mail account - the password. She didn't remember it, so we tried the "Forgot Password" user flow.

For reasons unknown, the user flow insisted on sending a notification to her Samsung S21, even though we had swapped the SIM card from that phone into the new phone, and we had no way to swipe the notification on the S21 due to the screen being broke.

Somehow, we managed to trigger sending a text message with a code, and thankfully she got access to her Gmail account and other items.

But it was not a simple process, and there's no way your everyday person would have a clue how to deal with such cases (it confounded me and I'm a developer!), so I hope that someone with UX and QA chops is able to cater for scenarios like someone's phone screen being busted and knows how to provide alternative options that your everyday folk can get to grips with.
You could get a pair of used epyc 7601 and a motherboard for like $1200. Unlike a hundred little pentium cores, these 64 cores can run real workloads ~4x as fast as a modern desktop in the same price range.

Alternatively an old 4 node server could get you there even cheaper if you don’t care that they are separate computers in one chassis. I got a used C6100 with 24 cores across 8 CPU sockets for $600 6 years ago. You could probably get >100 cores for the same price today.

> Because I read "the limits to growth", the IPCC report summary

Except both the links you provided and your own comment admits those aren’t terribly accurate predictions and most of them are a ways out — with huge error bars.

They also don’t attempt to address factors we know are going to happen, like increased technical prowess that come with a larger population.

If you have an actual quantitative source and model with that prediction, then post it. But you haven’t.

> I read "the limits to growth", the IPCC report summary, and various authors on the topic and that's what they say based on actual data.

Then you should cite that — because you haven’t so far.

> 1. I don't think the world is ending, just that current growth will stop one way or another, because it's not sustainable and limits are within sight

Sorry you are feeling burnt out, been there, it sucks!

The way I've come to solve this for my self is separating programming into professional programming and hobby programing.

For professional programming, I do it to make a living, to earn a salary, and that is it, nothing more and nothing less. If I wasn't being paid for what I do at work I wouldn't do it. I aim to be a good team member, skillful, helpful, add value to the company, but that's all. I don't expect to find enjoyment in it. When the boring part of programming comes along, I'm not surprised, it's just work. There will be times in which I happen to enjoy what I'm working on and I also actively try to find ways to make my workplace a place that I'm happy, or at the very least not miserable, but doing boring things is just part of the deal. And looking around at other careers, is not a terrible deal ($$$).

But I also happen to program as a hobby, not for professional growth, or to hustle, no, I program because it is something I enjoy. When I'm programming as a hobby I'm very intentional to not mix work with my hobby, since the purpose of the hobby is to enjoy the hobby!! I will use 7 programming languages, start 12 projects and finish none, and you know what? I can! and I love it!

It comes down to the source of motivation. Notice how you can start a project and be super excited about it, but the moment you bring money into the mix, i.e. you wanna monetize the project or get a tons of stars on github, the initial energy seems to dissipate... that's because at the beginning of the project the motivation was internal, curiosity, discovery, the joy of learning, or whatever. But the moment that the motivation becomes external, say, money, open source fame, professional advancement, the internal motivations tends to disappear.

Anyways, I hope this makes sense and you can find some balance.

There is a weird dichotomy here. Would he protest in the same way if he wasn't famous and literally have opportunities knocking on his door on a daily basis, or he wasn't in a financial position to do this? If either of those things are true, then he is not truly protesting. Just exercising the power of his position while double-dipping into ostensible righteousness. Can't really take him seriously.

> The rationale for deleting articles on Wikipedia has nothing to do with saving storage space, as I just said. Your comment implies that they do;

I assume by "your comment", you mean mine. If so, it does not imply that that was the rationale - in fact, by calling it an excuse, and not a rationale, it implies the opposite - that the real reason is different, and storage space just a (possible) cover.

Because once you remove the storage space excuse, all that remains (besides doxing, copyright, and various legal reasons, which Deletionpedia shows are a small minority of all deleted articles) are various rationalizations on why readers should be kept in the dark.
So back to single-factor then?
I'd argue it's not mostly opinion. This article is pretty bread-and-butter Brett Deveraux. His general thing is that he picks a topic, and gets really pedantic about in order to motivate (and provide a framework for) explaining some interesting aspect of military doctrine or history.

In this article, he digs into tank/not-tank in order to fuel a discussion of the development of military doctrine around armored vehicles, including explaining the problems that different kinds of them are trying to solve, and even describing how different semantic distinctions used by other countries helps to highlight differences in their military thinking.

I suppose whether or not one thinks that's a waste of time is ultimately down to how much of an interest one takes in military topics. But I'd be hard-pressed to concede that the author's choice to dig into semantics is a waste of time in and of itself. It's quite self-evidently a clever and effective expository tactic.

I logged off from Twitter and Reddit and blocked it with Leechblock NG [1] on my computer. That took care of 50% of the problem. I would still browse them on my phone.

When I switched phones I decided to not install Twitter or Reddit on the new one for a week.

After getting over some FOMO on the first week, I decided to extend it for 1 month.

I have been "clean" for ~7 months now. Except for the occasional direct link from my mobile phone, and fortunately thanks to the ingrate mobile experience their webs provide, I will probably keep doing this for a while.

I find other ways to distract myself, though (other websites, doing random queries in google, etc). I am working on the underlying problems I have. But for me getting the distractions out of the way first was easier than the alternative.

> I think there's so much potential now to make some crazy browser based games given current state of web apps.

I believe that this could have be done ~20 years ago with about the same effort.

Websocket is maybe minimally easier than AJAX + 20 years old javascript, and the newer ECMA standards also have some nice syntactic sugars, but nothing radical. Objects, classes, closures, passing and modifying functions, javascript was so powerful and easy to work with from the beginning. People just didn't used it back then.

I remember playing e.g. travianer 15 years ago, different genre, but the technology was given.
I think the point was, we can't use the fact US (or China, or state X) is a corrupt basket case to lazily dismiss any valid criticism here. That's like dismissing the teachers criticism of an A grade student's English Literature exam question by saying "Yeah well, Ralph's answer was 'boobs'". Ralph exists. The A grade student wants to improve. These are separate concerns.
