That's right. It's still being worked on, so a lot of documentation doesn't exist yet. But work is also being done in parallel on a book/new docs that covers all areas.
Write Cleaner Conditional Rendering in React
I seem to remember Snowflake was a relational db that claimed indexes weren't required in most circumstances, but I only used it briefly. I guess the indexes are implemented under the hood somewhere and it's not really a massive problem to create indexes if you have a technical team and can plan your queries to an extent. The way in which people used to use databases Oracle/SqlServer/Ingres etc has changed so much. When I started working with Oracle the whole system was centered around the database, but a lot has changed especially with cloud and (micro)service approach. I actually quite liked how things used to be, it worked well for the most part, but scaling was difficult. It's still difficult, but for a different reason.
What fraction of Americans nearing retirement age can actually comfortably retire ?
I saw a Dino in Amsterdam a short while ago, blue. I couldn't believe it was used as a regular car rather than just for shows and tours. It was gorgeous. And it sounded pretty smooth. Just the thought of driving such a car in traffic with the risk of an accident gives me cold sweat.
If it's profitable to run the AI given it's energy costs, that means all is fine, no? If you think it shouldn't consume all that energy, shouldn't the energy be more expensive?
> getting a job at 21 as one of the lowest paid positions, worked hard, took on projects above my pay grade, and was eventually rewarded for it.

This is how many people got their start, but it is rare for people to be rewarded unless the company is quickly growing a "bigger pie" of rewarding positions, or tradable CV item lines. And these are not easy to predict.
Maybe in the US?

Certainly not in the EU or in Switzerland. I can chose a flight based on certain criteria (i.e. no checked luggage, flexibility) and the price is stated clearly, including all fees, taxes and airport charges.

The costs will be itemized on the ticket, but within the booking process the total is always clearly stated.

What may happen with discount airlines (noticeably Ryan Air) is that the fleece you for a lot of "extras". From charging an arm and a leg because your hand luggage is 200gms too heavy up to charging you for printing a boarding pass at the airport.
I agree. If you want to start a blog use something like Wordpress to get going. If you want to mess around with tech and never actually write anything because you're having too much fun trying out half a dozen static site generators, I like Jekyll.
The simplest way would be to buy a domain and use a Wordpress hosting website.

What I enjoyed more was writing my own blogging engine and renting a cheap VPS. :)
This is the crux of it. All software chooses what elements of the "spec" it supports. There are ways to do what you want, but whether those are useful depends on your use cases and specifically the other software (and hardware) you use.
That begs the question do you need a .com anyway?
I think the move to Ozone as the default UI was a big step forward in this regard.
CLASSIC!
Replying to an unrelated comment by pointing out how unrelated that comment is.
Don't worry about it - pretty much everything we learn has a finite lifespan. The job is partly about constantly learning, for better or worse. (At least my brain won't atrophy as I age, or so I tell myself.) Also the more you know the easier it is to pick up new things, everything is a bit like something else.

An incomplete list of tech I know that became pretty much useless: VB6, perl (controversial?), classic ASP, director/shockwave, actionscript 1/2/3, flex, silverlight, GWT, ember, XSLT.. And there must be more!

The good thing is, learning most of this stuff is free and easier than ever before. The big problem is picking something; if it takes 2-3 months to learn you want that to lead to at least 6 months of decently paid work.

Client side web stuff moves ridiculously quickly, but if I were you I'd probably learn React and something like Next JS or Gatsby. You'll be up against bootcamp people in the job market and your broader experience should stand out against them. Pick a common hosted CI service (github actions, circleci, whatever) and learn it in a couple of weekends, the free quotas are plenty for small projects. Learn enough about TDD in your chosen new tech that you can talk about it convincingly and demonstrate proficiency. Often you'll get grilled on it in the interview then find absolutely no sign of it happening once you get the job!

If you want something a bit slower moving, Android and iOS could be good - there's more to learn though, and often you'll end up having to deal with both and/or some hybrid native+HTML/JS monstrosity so that can go from lovely to evil quickly. I really like svelte at the moment, I was lucky to get a project it was a good fit for but it may not be a good "find a job soon" choice. I also have a couple of brightscript (Roku) projects on the go, that's horrible but my client couldn't find anyone else to do the work so I learned it a few years ago. It'll join my list of obsolete tech in the next few years but it's been worth it financially.

I do, at least the first letters until the browser completes the rest.

And if no one types domains, why do you need a short domain name anyway?

Same family name, same region, but apparently that company had already been making tractors for a few years when Lamborghini's proposals were dismissed.
Not necessarily; while I wouldn’t apply the term in this case, the idea of a “sin tax” is an example of where society says a product or service must be made more expensive to discourage use, even if it’s otherwise profitable.
The very fact you want to buy it and are willing to pay $500+ means there is a commercial interest in it. That's like saying no company wants to own a house because they won't live in it. True, but they rent them out.
You can see it as an idiotic PoW for all those people working in those banks.

It's easy to make it renewable with benefits to us. The solar panel on a bank building is giving energy to people.

And I'm not saying that the current banking system is perfect (it actually optimizes itself quite well) but it has much more features while Bitcoin/crypto doesn't have real solutions for huge issues.

Fraud, scams, money laundry, investment tools, sepa, bank account recovery, global market regulations, sanctions Support etc.

And it does all of that with billions and billions of assets.

While Bitcoin consumes energy.

In an utopian society we don't need banks and no PoW crypto but that's not what is critical now.

Besides aluminum smelter, due to high energy costs there are other critical industry affected as well: paper making and glass making. Bottles for example.
It's well worth doing, especially if you have an important series of events to chronicle. I started my original blog in the late 90s: I wrote the software myself (probably badly) and based it on PHP and MySQL: I thought other bloggers at the time did that as well.. maybe they didn't :) Anyway, I chronicled the first 5 years of my new family growing up, complete with pictures, and diligently backed up the precious database on a regular basis, to CD. Then, after moving house a couple of times I realised that I'd physically lost the F**** backup, and my blog was lost forever. I never quite got over that. Nowadays it wouldn't be a problem with multiple backups to Cloud etc. If you're going to start a blog on any platform, make sure you back it up!
How about electric car chargers?
I'm really giddy to see this being made use of by Docker / podman as the currently used QEMU based solution is slow as molasses.

In our case, the moment the M1 Macs came out, I have re-built our development images on ARM, but there are a few dependencies to proprietary software which is only provided for x64 and which I can't really support on ARM Macs ATM because running affected services through QEMU is no fun, especially as those are mostly about handling bulk data living in proprietary databases.

But if this comes close to what Rosetta can do on macOS, using it for those cases becomes feasible.
You are ignoring that all major cloud providers are aiming to be carbon neutral in the next few years and regularly publish their progress on that front. They take this very serious because people keep asking them about this and they don't like it when they have to give answers people won't like. Most companies at this point are well aware that they don't have forever to clean up their act. And most of the big tech companies have actually been very pro-active on this front for quite some time.

Pretty much all new data centers are powered using renewables. Not because it's cleaner but because it's cheaper. If your main consumable is a lot of electricity, you are going to want to source it cheaply. Which these days means the same as using renewables. Mostly that's a mix of them generating their own power and supplementing that with renewable energy on the local market. That has been the case for quite a few years, which is why companies like Google and Amazon figured out that they were also helping themselves financially by pushing hard for carbon neutral well over a decade ago.

So, whatever goes on in those newer data centers is pretty much not emitting any co2. Aside of course from manufacturing of hardware and construction of the site, which would be a separate topic.

Some of the older data centers are still powered via coal/gas plants, especially in the US. Those will likely clean up their act in the next few years. All the big cloud providers have announced roadmaps for becoming carbon neutral. Once that is done, data centers will use a lot of energy that is generated sustainably.

That doesn't mean that there aren't issues around this. E.g. the Netherlands is reluctant to host more data centers because they are claiming all the sustainable energy that is available in the local market and they have to worry about powering the rest of the country in a sustainable way too. And since that costs a lot of money, having Facebook or Google then get subsidized to use all of the newly available wind power looks a bit bad.

But all that means is that there's a lot of healthy demand for clean power that short term outstrips supply. Lots of companies are working to tap into that rapidly growing market. Which is good news for our planet. Any market that supplies a lot of clean & cheap energy can expect to see businesses trying to make use of that. Especially energy intensive businesses like data centers. So, there's a great incentive for governments around the world to make that happen.

So, perhaps the wrong reflex is to argue that we should all become Luddites to reduce demand on renewable energy. The right response is to argue for sourcing your cloud services sustainably. Most cloud providers can probably tell you which of their data centers are clean and which aren't. They might not be very vocal about dirtier ones but you can choose which regions you host in and which ones you skip and make some educated guesses. Interesting way to nudge them a little harder. That's on you, not them. Not a lot of companies do that yet. But they could. And IMHO they should.
If we made pencils in the LHC, but we don’t so it isn’t.
I hope we see JS for microcontrollers fast enough so we can enjoy bloated Electron apps running on microcontrollers. :)

I mean, who wants anything but the fastest, leanest languages running on microcontrollers?
The NIH has mandated that starting in 2023 all grants that it funds must include a plan for data sharing. A serious lingering question is whether there is actually going to be any enforcement, given that it is already a monumental challenge for investigators to even account for the data that has been submitted/shared/archived by their lab, forget some 3rd party trying to do it.

The tools for doing this across a whole diverse ecosystem are shall we say not user friendly (if they exist at all), and that is being charitable (and I say this as someone who has written some of those less than user friendly tools). Most of the systems, archives, etc. are not interoperable, they don't share common APIs, much less have some common interface that would allow someone to track all their published data, forget integrate it.

Program officers are going to be desperate for ways to account for this stuff, but I worry that at least initially they are not going to have the leverage needed to get researchers to engage in even the most basic data management practices which would allow them to start solving the problem down the line.

How many files did you upload to archive X? Which project were they for? How many datasets are you expecting to produce for this grant? You have published 10 papers associated with this grant number, where are the datasets that correspond to those papers?

Some investigators can answer these immediately and easily, others will throw a screaming fit that they were even asked for such a thing.
It's not new. It's been around for 30 years, but it's still the standard in server-side image manipulation and it's FOSS, of course.

I think we should occasionally celebrate the humble tools that make so much possible on the "modern" world wide web.
I write my blog using Hugo, it is rather simple to use - just a folder of markdown files.

For publishing, I use netlify (which does the build and hosting). Their free tier is more than enough for me.
The domain comes from namecheap.
I see, thanks. And by the way, I never understood the Urraco. I've never actually ever seen one, but from what I've read I had never understood why the car existed until you mentioned that it was poised against the 911. Thank you.
What do you mean? Was a pizza not sold for Bitcoin?

Here's Papa John's saying it was:

Do you mean it was sold through an intermediary accepting Bitcoin? Is that not a sale still?
>> Mark Cuban's project of selling off-brand medication for cheap is great

It's great and going to help a lot of people. But it's still not cheap compared to a lot of other countries which either provide free medication or medication for a fixed fee per item (usually around $10-20, varies by country).

The US incentivises blaming healthcare providers in order to recoup costs. I'm sure there are issues with substandard care, but I'm not sure the data can be fully trusted given that putting the blame on a healthcare provider in any way possible is often in the best interests of the patient.
If you want an alternative to Wordpress, I’ve had success running a simple kotlin script that converts google docs into webpages.

Ok so, again, my point here is that Open Source funding isn't a technical problem that can be solved by a technical solution (and that I think quadratic matching is stupid for funding solutions to high-impact problems).

But, I did look at that, and I'm not sure that I trust the numbers. I clicked around a little. The top earner for the week is https://gitcoin.co/0xngmi. 0xngmi is working a crypto project (fine), but seems to have only received one bounty and one 10 DAI tip ever. So how are they the top earner for the week?

The top earner for the quarter is an NFP Crypto lobby group. They've earned $855k... somehow? Over 13 tips and 13 bounties? What do you mean 13 bounties? Does this Lobby group also fix Django bugs on the weekend?

I'm not saying I don't think it's a good idea; although I'm wary of anything Crypto, this might be the closest I've seen to a reasonable use for it. I just don't know that I trust the numbers.
It seems like a set of very opinionated visual design choices.

For cli design guideline, I really liked https://clig.dev/ which is actually about UX for the cli, and not about the eye candy.

Other than that, the general idea of the startup / product it is linked to is pretty cool (i.e design guidelines in code with integration with figma and all) but it is also a no-go as it's a closed source saas company, which mean all your design specs go to hell the day the company dies/is acquired.
Without adblockers (and cosmetic, annoyance filtering) my general internet consumption will decrease substantially. We really need some hackers/greybeards to come up with a better non-commercial internet alternative with a pure incentive not based on (CPV, CTR etc).

If someone is working on something like this please reach out I'll donate my time.
They built the tools to allow performant x86 docker containers. That's a huge pain right now. Probably in two years it'll be solved.
The house we live in had them when bought it. We sold them on-line. I guess they needed some work, but the rub was that my wife didn't like them.

Yes, that is what is meant, also in terms of development speed. Of course, there will always be faster implementations in other languages, but in context of JavaScript/TypeScript, it's high performance. In the introduction blog post can be seen more about why this is: https://deepkit.io/blog/introducing-deepkit-framework
It really depends on what you define as "simple".

- For some it might be writing HTML and CSS directly and upload the files to some server via FTP.

- For others it would be using a static site generator, and uploading the files via FTP or hooking up a git repo that builds deploys automatically.

- There are hosted blogging services that provide a GUI, hosting and other affordances.

- There are services that are part aggregator part blogging platforms, similar to the above but with social media bells and whistles.

All of the above can essentially be hosted for free or very cheap. Alternatively you can host them yourself which is more involved.

IMO for the tech savvy the second option is likely the most attractive and productive (SSG + git), the third option (blogging platform) is great if you want a GUI and an all-in-one experience that includes hosting. The fourth if you like social network stuff. The first is fast for starting out and can transition into the second down the line if needed.

1. Not to get too pedantic, I hope, but Macs have certainly not "always" had standard ports -- before USB, mice and keyboards used ADB! In fact, Apple were fairly early adopters of USB, and arguably helped make it a de facto standard for desktop peripherals.

Firewire was also a technical standard but never became widespread; if I recall, it was Apple's attempt to push against the converging industry standards with what they saw as a technically superior solution. But only Apple and Sony ever bet on Firewire in a big way.

If Lightning is never used in a master configuration, how come you can use it to plug headphone into an iPhone? It wouldn't have made "no sense" to put Lightning connectors on Macs (although I definitely agree it wouldn't have been wise and I'm glad they didn't).

MagSafe is another non-standard Mac thing -- which was replaced with USB-C and then came back again, very unusually for Apple.

So, they certainly haven't always have standard ports, and Apple have not always been consistent.

2. You don't need USB-C to have your device act as a host, whatever the marketing material might say. USB On-The-Go has been around for a long time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_On-The-Go The advantage of USB-C is that it gives you access to a wider market of third-party peripherals -- I'd say Apple saw the way the wind was blowing, and decided to sacrifice the control and fat margins you mentioned in favour of a better overall product.

Apple has only one goal in mind - their margins. Everything they do must be seen in function of that. It's clear Apple is going to remove every single port from the iPhone, they only have to find how.

I agree that they love a fat margin, and feel entitled to it, but I don't think that's quite the full story. Maybe I'm buying too much into the reality distortion field, but I think they genuinely believe they make better products due to their unique approach. That involves exercising strict control where they can (walled garden app store, proprietary connectors) and aggressively removing features that 10% of users rely on in order to give what they see as a better experience for the 90% (e.g. removing headphone jack); but sometimes also bending to market forces and embracing standards when they think it benefits users -- sometimes very early indeed. Think of the 2015 MacBook, which launched with just a single USB-C port for everything, when USB-C peripherals hadn't even become very widespread.

The test of all this will be whether iPhones continue using Lightning, or switch to USB-C. I'm very confident that they'll switch, in either the next revision or the one after.

It'll be a painful switch, but Apple is very good at powering through those (ADB to USB, 68K to PowerPC, removing floppy drive, removing CD drive, PowerPC to x86, 30-pin connector to Lightning, removing headphone jack, x86 to ARM). When they make up their mind to switch, they make it happen very quickly.
I think it depends a lot on the tools you use. I and my coworkers as a Web Developers (working for a company with more than 2k of us, and having worked for a few others with similar numbers) have zero problems with it. Initially docker support was a bit rusty, but nowadays everything works perfectly for us.

But I suppose if you're working on low level C/C++ or assembler or drivers or desktop apps, etc you might find more problems. I have no idea about that.
If we invested all the money it would cost for “greener coding practices” in to public transport we would see absolute massive gains vs an almost unmeasurable gain from the code.
