> All I can really say is the people who think community college is just as good as university are wrong – but so are the people who say it’s worse. There’s not really a comparison, because they’re different in what they set out to do. It’s just a shame that people suited more for one than the other are encouraged or forced to go down the wrong path for them.

Interesting that the author completely misses that the criticism is 100% about social class. Vocational school and community college are seen as bad or low quality because they don’t give their graduates the habitus of the middle class, the same way elite colleges are seen as excellent because far more reliably than directional state u they acculturate their graduates to the professional managerial class.
For what it's worth I'm an Ionic developer and I find the grand-parent's description pretty accurate. I do like Capacitor though, but I think that's mostly because I've had to deal with Cordova before.
The "parts of it" in your question might be the clue to an answer: you start implementing some often-used code path only to realize that they share code with all the rarely used code paths (permissions/authentication come to mind),

So you'd need to reimplement a whole bunch of your codebase, at which point you'll have two versions of everything that you need to keep in sync.

This does not read as though she is blaming "everyone else". Throughout the post there is a very heavy focus on "we" and "our" for referring to the team and the teams stress and lack of empowerment. I thought she went out of her way to make clear it wasnt the team she worked with, but upper management fostering a negative environment.(ex, not supporting the team needing a PM) Finally recognizing that upper leadership and people outside the project injecting themselves into or blocking change, seems like introspection. Finally seeing that this was not right/healthy, is how one gets out of an abusive pattern. This is more of a retrospective than the sprint

All you people with your awesome HW! I recall my box just barely running OS/2, but Rexx worked fine.
I went to my local community college for CS after graduating from a top university in underwater basket weaving, and tbh it was pretty good and did not feel like a noticeable step down in quality from my former university (perhaps more of an indictment of expensive universities).

We do need to reduce the stigma of community colleges, they fulfill an important need.
Whenever I read some article like this about politics in the US, I wonder why they never look at how the world's largest democracy deals with these problems, instead of looking at trivial countries like Hungary or New Zealand with like 5 people.

Is it ignorance? Racism? Some "stuck in the 60s" notion that third world countries are run by dictators?
Then why post about it?
WordPress is still at 43% according to this post. That is still remarkable and to me means WP will be hanging around for many years to come even if they lose some share

No it isn't.

The word "spy" has a very specific definition, that you'd have stretch pretty far to include any of the data collected by the Terminal app.
SEO is important for websites which for the record you 100% should not use Flutter for.

Flutter is a great fit for applications which (and I say this as someone who did SEO for fortune 500s for many years) aren’t really all that relevant for SEO purposes and are difficult to index at best.

But the short answer to your question is the accessibility object model API is what gets used to surface relevant information that could be used by search engines along with all the other things that have nothing to do with the stuff that sits inside your body tags. Like it wouldn’t actually be that different IRL.

I assume you mean Rexx adds an extra space if whitespace is added between the values when concatenating them. I addressed this behavior (though perhaps a bit unclearly) in my original comment.

> Except the side who are "free speech absolutists" are worried about those gay characters kissing in "She-Ra" remake or various Disney+ cartoons where men kiss,

Does holding freedom of speech as an ideal mean you must never dislike anything or tell anyone else that you dislike it? Is Elon giving orders to Disney+ about what they can and can't show? Is he going to ban Disney from using Twitter now because two guys kissed in a cartoon?

> and want that stuff censored off the airs.

There is indeed censorship of broadcast media but it long predates Elon or Twitter and it's done by the FCC.

> And then want to ban the book "Maus", etc. etc.

Removing a book from the curriculum and replacing it with another book that teaches pretty much the same thing is hardly "banning" it. Did students face disciplinary action or criminal charges for possessing a copy of Maus on school grounds? Did parents who bought a copy for their kids get a visit from the sheriff? Was Amazon ordered to stop selling it?

It's ridiculous. If you think about it almost all books are similarly "banned" as there are countless possible books you could have kids read and very limited time and space on the curriculum. We had the Pearson algebra textbook in high school so I guess that means the McGraw-Hill one was "banned".
This is all over LinkedIn these days as well.

Every other post is a close up of someone bawling their eyes out with the post something like "This was when I hit rock bottom", or maybe it's "Ten years ago I was a self-harming junkie who tried to kill myself multiple times, but now I'm the founder of a successful recruiting agency...", or "Here is a picture of my dead child who was taken from last year by cancer" etc.

It's like, if you don't have trauma, or more correctly a visible badge of trauma, you can't be taken seriously.

Personally, I find it a bit showy and basically a form of "virtue signalling" (for want of a better word), but each to their own I guess. I would keep that stuff to myself.

You hate to see it
I see saying, blogs have definitely been shrinking. The web is too large and complex to be discovered unless your service is within one of the 5 or so major social platforms. To own a domain is almost a status symbol, letting users know “we are an established entity”.

It’s pretty revealing when a local bar cover band or a Chinese restaurant has its own website. It’s almost always decrepit in maintenance and low traffic (as if it could handle more).

Wordpress, Blogspot, and all these other template engine/blog platform things were the Web 2.0 answer, but I don’t think those types of services are going away. It’s a skill to implement a modern site not many people want to learn or hire when these platforms exist. Plenty of domain sites are powered by them. I just think this post is a telltale sign Wordpress is in a saturated market.

> the user space stuff (OpenGL/Vulkan) is still closed source. (A LOT of heavy lifting is done here.)

Much like AMD - surely they benefit a lot from having a relatively stable non-kernel ABI they can target, though. The problem right now is that everything changes every time the kernel is updated, but if you turn it into a "here's how you dispatch PTX to the card" layer and a "here's how you turn OGL/Vulkan into PTX" blob then the dispatch layer probably isn't changing as much.

(graphics doesn't really use PTX but you get what I mean... dispatching compiled assembly and graphics API calls to the card.)

It doesn't help further the copyleft cause as much as if NVIDIA had open-sourced everything, of course, but from an end-user perspective of "I don't want my kernel updates to be tied to my driver release-cycle" it should solve almost all of the problem?
Great initiative. Wondering why can't Google make this a priority and make it fast instead of focus on desktop and other device support.

It isn't one sane developer.

It is the aggregation of a dozen different developers each adding a knob to close a ticket/bug over the course of maybe 10 years.
that largely depends on your machine's specs but the limit is much higher that you are going to get in go, python or ruby (yes I know action cable uses go)

but to get a better handle, here's some interesting reading

Is complicated the right word here? It seems to me that the specs/datasheets might perhaps be somewhat difficult to follow, but otherwise it sounds like basic plumbing.
The point of the threshold isn’t to tell how many Minnesotan kids can be on a service. It’s to limit the burden of filtering traffic for Minnesota to companies that should be large enough to manage it. A small social network may not have the engineering resources to devote to doing this, or it might be cost prohibitive. This threshold mitigates those complicated arguments to avoid the filtering.

Also, a new social network wouldn’t be as likely to be seen as a “threat” until it got to a certain scale.

(I’m not trying to defend the bill, just what I think the the rationale is for the thresholds used)
In 2020, 222 of 435 seats were D, so 51%. The popular vote was 51.5% D, so the D's should have an extra 2 seats.

In contrast, 538's analysis shows that the R's have an advantage of 52% of the seats 538 identifies as "leaning" (with 68 seats left to have lines set).

538 shows the D's doing slightly better so far in the current redistricting balance, but they are still behind the R's on balance.

You need to read 538's work if you think corrral is wrong.
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Wordpress,
is in fact, Plugin-hell/Wordpress, or as I've recently taken to calling it, Plugins plus Wordpress.

Wordpress is not an ecommerce system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning ecommerce system made useful by the freemium plugins, security vulnerabilities and PHP comprising a full CMS as defined by POSIX.

You seem to have a lot of very strongly held opinions in this thread that aren’t backed up by any evidence other than your personal opinion.

It’s clear that Flutter wasn’t for you for whatever reason and you seem to love Iconic which is great but obsessively hanging out on this thread and just trying to shit all over it at every opportunity you get without citing any evidence is weird.

Just go an enjoy Iconic. I don’t know why you keep trying to pick arguments with everyone here.
I've studied redistricting and gerrymandering for 15+ years ( https://bdistricting.com ), and yes the punch line is that people don't even want geographic districts at least half the time. Sometimes you want 'your local rep' to talk to about local and regional issues, but all the argument is about ideological representation (party, culture, pet issue, etc.).

My best guess solution is a two part legislature, one house of small local districts, one house elected in at-large Proportional Representation.

My wife went to a CC before going to a 4-year university. The challenge of studying in a CC, at least to some students, is that CC's courses are not rigorous enough. The courses are on par with those AP courses. For instance, their Calculus class focused on derivatives and integrations, while spending far less time discussing fundamentals like definition of limits, convergent functions, series, or boundary conditions in differential equations. Needless to say, they touched little on proofs, either. Their linear algebra class focuses more on matrix calculation than properties of vector space. Similarly, there were few proofs in their Discrete Maths course, little discussion on computational complexity or computability in algorithms class, no comprehensive projects on data structures like balanced trees, or graph algorithms beyond simple search.

These are not inherent problems with CC, but lacking rigorous course does impose a challenge to the students who aspire to be transferred to a 4-year college to study STEM, as they often felt insufficiently equipped to take more advanced courses in universities.
There’s real value in company/community college partnerships - they’ve been common for factory-type work for decades (go to the college and learn the machines, get hired at the company afterwards) and companies willing to admit this can work could get lots of good talent in other areas.
In my opinion, the main difference between those is that you can self-host WordPress, so you can have full control over your site. Wix and Squarespace are hosted on their own servers. It's a lot easier, from a development point of view, to customize WordPress to do what you want.
I can think of two reasons -

1 - Most voters are not a Republican or Democrat. So they're stuck choosing between what those at political extremes want at election time.

2 - Some cities/states will always vote R or D, pretty reliably. Choosing someone you dislike less has its advantages in such areas.

Recently I considered building a new site with WordPress. I haven't used it in years, and looking at it again I didn't think it's the right fit anymore. It feels too limiting maybe?

The examples in the article were older and from a different community.
Yep. Actually the behavior of IRV is extremely unintuitive (despite how nice it sounds). Even using very simple models that assume every voter has political opinions completely described by a 2d political compass, prefers candidates that are closer to them on the compass, and that voters are normally distributed around a central point, you get very strange behavior! Here are some diagrams that illustrate the effect: https://rangevoting.org/IEVS/Pictures.html

interestingly, IRV is not even monotonic! It's easy to construct a situation where converting people to have the same ranking as you causes you to get a candidate you like less. (The concave parts of the voronoi diagrams describe areas where this happens.) If you're curious about this, a few years back some friends and I tried to make a video describing this phenomenon: [0]. (Our editing and presentation skills are nothing to write home about but I think the video is interesting.)

About seven years ago, I purchased a couple of really inexpensive "1 TB" USB thumb drives via AliExpress.

They were well made, externally. And they each reported a capacity of 10^12 bytes.

I used `dd` to write an infinite stream of noise to them. I remember at least one of these failing to write after 128 MB (that's megabytes), the other didn't signal a failure but just wrapped around to the beginning of the volume after its internal flash was filled to (low) capacity.

I asked for a refund via AliExpress, and offered to pay for return shipping (since I was pretty sure they were not real when I purchased them). AliExpress refunded the money very quickly, the whole amount.

Neither vendor took me up on my offer to return the items. Just as well, as the postage would easily have exceeded the amount I paid for these, but I just felt better about the whole circus by making the sincere offer to return. By no means do I consider my choice to make any sort of ethical or economic sense -- they were ripping people off with these products.

I find it remarkable that hundreds (at least) examples of this simple scam are to be found on Amazon in 2022. But as you can probably tell, I am willfully naive about such things.

I just don't see how it's less valuable than not using it. That seems analytically true to me: if ever the debits do outweigh the credits, then one simply doesn't use it. After all, it's not like it's a library doing some magical thing; it's a framework which operates on code written to a certain interface, and for which alternative 'compilers' (e.g. Preact) already exist.
My preferred method would be

Here are some specific design flaws. This is not exhaustive, and I'm trying to stick to the more objective issues:

- On the title section, the "Check your WCAG compliance" text box with the same background color as the div behind it, placed above the massive "CHECKLIST" text, combined with the disjointed placement of the Table of Contents immediately makes the page look like it has some broken rendering going on.

- Wildly inconsistent margins between different sections of content. Nothing is well-aligned on a grid between regions of the page.

- The light grey <p> text on the grey background is low-contrast, and hard to read as a result.

- The blue background of the <code> blocks is jarring, as it looks similar to selected/highlighted text.

- Far, far too much padding and line spacing. Very little content fits into view at once on a 720p screen.

It is one of the worst designed websites I've seen in a while.
The rural populations seems would not like a redistricting where every district is dominated by its largest population center. Essentially this voronoi type redistricting would push more power towards cities at the cost of rural areas.

It's great to hear that decent institutions still teach the real bread and butter of programming: C#, Java, ASP.NET, UML, OO, and Agile project management. A very select few need to spend 4 years at $50k per annum with their heads in the clouds learning about compiler theory, OS theory, and esoteric programming languages like Lisp and ML. For most, it's better to study all that by yourself using copious free resources like blog posts on Medium.com.
Although correct, this doesn't mean that the maintainers of the SRA necessarily did anything conspiratorial or wrong (legally or ethically). The article it cites does mention some interesting, long-term and ongoing issues associated with soft-deletion (IE, maintaining records, either online or offline, that have been "deleted", but hiding them from normal view) and the policies around storage of sequence data in general.
