When watching the CarPlay part of the most recent Apple event, I was struck by Apple's current approach vs. Tesla's.

Apple wants to be the operating system for all cars/hardware (ala Microsoft Windows) and Tesla is trying to be the Apple of cars (integrated hardware+software).

Not a perfect comparison but if Apple dominates the entire industry, there will be space for a premium alternative (even if it's not Tesla).
There's a whole lot of wishful thinking in that sort of attitude - Progressives used to be pro-eugenics (even explicitly arguing for racially supremacist views) and against gender equity as late as the 1950s. People will say anything to support their preferred ideological stance.
Actually, now that you point out that this could be done, I’m surprised it wasn’t.
I have dropped Chrome for Brave the moment when it started with that yellow highlighting when going from Google search and prevented me to switch it off.
> The reason to switch to an IDE from something more flexible like VSCode or Emacs is the amount of time spent keeping the editor working.

An editor will generally not stop working like a car without oil. But, IDEs may stop working due to more complex configurations and disparate use cases.
Third, for me at least: Remote Extensions. That suite of extensions including SSH WSL, and Container support made things I was already doing frictionless.

That's strictly an issue of atrocious hardware design in the switch and nothing else.

They will if they want to continue selling them in the EU after the deadline.

I'm in a fairly purple state and I don't consider myself a Republican, a Democrat, or even a moderate. I have some views that align with one party and some that align with another.

If anything, the right has largely shifted to the center over the course of my life. For example: they, along with Democrats for quite a while, were opposed to gay marriage. While I'm sure there's still a small contingent that would roll that back if they could it's very much not an issue for the party anymore.

The left, or at least a good portion of the democratic party? They've gone off the rails in the past 10+ years. Everything is now about race or sex. Everything. It's 100% OK to discriminate against white men. We should have open borders. Abortion should be legal up until birth. Prepubescent children should be allowed to go on hormone blockers and get surgery if they think they're trans. Transwomen should be able to compete against women in sports. The Kavanaugh confirmation was a disgusting point in US history. Let's ban guns. The list could go on.

From what I see, Republicans largely want things to stay the same or be rolled back by a decade or so.
Hello! I'm a full stack software engineer seeking a full stack or backend position.
Location: Boston, MA

I recently built Bastion, an open-source Backend-as-a-Service that gets deployed to the cloud with AWS. I also authored a technical case study exploring design decisions and challenges: https://bastion-baas.github.io/case-study
Maybe I'm weird, but $11M still sounds high. It's also not about the damages that the actual perpetrator caused, this seems more like a punitive case against the government.
Do Republican run jurisdictions not have a problem with homelessness, or is it just less visible? Are they shifting their homeless burden to places like cities with more programs and support for homelessness? Because I've never actually heard a Republican plan for dealing with homelessness that doesn't involve criminalizing it and sweeping it under the rug where no one can see it.
Well damn, I didn't know that it had gotten easier to use but I am so glad to here it! I will definitely be giving it another go.
My point is all of this information is useless because they haven't determined the basic facts of their situation. Garbage in = Garbage out.

> Per capita, Germany uses far less coal

It would be great if globabl warming were per capita, too.

> This blip has received an overwhelming amount of attention given that it was relatively small, lasted a few years and coal usage started diving again in 2014.

That's the whole problem, that it stayed a ‶blip″ instead of becoming the foot of a growing curve. No one said that Germany was 80% carbon-free then, only that they nipped in the bud any chance of decreasing their carbon production for the last decade.

Ok you got me sold on the idea - being able to configure just one schema for everything with validation and deserialization does sound amazing. And really appreciate the detailed reply!

While it does sound quite great I have to try it in practise to understand would it work for me. To prevent framework fatigue I really try not to switch frameworks too often which is why I'd like to be able to reuse what I know already. And your scope sounds really big. Yet I always have liked how TS/JS community keep pushing the envelope constantly!
If I buy a part, I'm paying for a working part.

If I buy a million parts, I'm probably paying for an acceptable (to me) failure rate, which is probably negotiated as part of the contract. He who buys cheap, buys a higher failure rate.

"sunsetting" is better than corp-speak saying "handing it off to community maintenance"

Especially, if there isn't a dedicated community to maintain it.

I'll take honesty over corp-speak any day.

That said we probably only get honesty, because they want us using vscode instead.
Even after they promised they'll keep developing it despite of the acquisition:

Not surprising. When this stuff happens is always lies because you plan for people to forget about stuff as times goes by, which usually happens.
Heh, yes, def agree, although I think that a person who is genuinely oblivious or indifferent to all this will also prob end up using VSCode just cos it's free and has the highest brand awareness
IMO geometry nodes are a bit lacking atm. No loops, no procedural uv unwrapping, no compact maths expressions, bare bones standard node selection in general etc. It feels like they've been concentrating on particle system type use cases at the expense of things like procedural architecture. However, its still a relatively new feature & I'm excited to see where it will be in a couple of years time.

The great thing about blender 2.8+ is that it tends to be good enough in a lot of different areas even if it isn't best in class in any one area. If it can get to that state with geometry nodes that would be massive.
Another aspect of the definition is the marriage of state and corporation. Seeing shades of that since Covid started.

My fiancee is a nurse. Conditions are absolute shit, especially in states where the patient to nurse ratio isn't legally protected.

I think that the Great Resignation is even more obvious in nursing because of nursing contracts. Nurse contracting became really popular when the pandemic started because the hospitals were overwhelmed and contracts were ridiculously lucrative.
Hospital management is always so short sighted that they just don't want to raise the pay of their core stuff. Core staff is paid on average $35/hour. Nursing contracts start at $60 and can go much higher. This has lead to the situation where the core staff resigns en masse and goes to work as a contractor (sometimes even at the same hospital).

The hospital where my fiancee is contracting now has literally 0 core nursing staff left. There is not a single full time nurse employed in the whole hospital. Problem is that the contractors leave after ~3 months and go look for a more high paying contract so they are rarely at the same hospital for a long time.

The result is that you don't have a single nurse in the hospital that actually knows that hospital's procedures, doctors, people to call, storage lockers, and all of that institutional knowledge that you need to have to be effective.
It sounds like your development flow is a bit unusual nowadays, which could explain why no one bothers to maintain such vscode plugin.
The article says the FBI knew of the accusations by 2015, but didn't have Nassar arrested until late 2016 more than a year later. Does anybody know if a year of delay is typical or atypical? I don't know much about these processes, but my general cynicism towards the federal government has me thinking less than two years was actually fairly quick to act, by federal government standards. But I'm curious to hear what others think.

Depends on how you define support. Legal for medical professionals to prescribe to children? If so, then quite a few EU countries do support that (with varying requirements of course).

And the recently introduced abortion bill by the Democrats which ultimately failed, does not match what you are saying (time limited by viability and exception for life-saving measures). It however matches roughly the (varying) standards in the various EU countries.

So both not really examples where the Democrats vary greatly from the average in the EU.

Yep, I've tried Intellij several times over the past 5-6 years, but I've never really had an experience I liked. It's interesting that you mention SFTP and remote server deploys as a pain point for you in VS Code, because I've actually had a huge amount of frustration trying to do development over SSH in Intellij.. As of Intellij 2021 edition, I was completely unable to get ssh working from my work laptop to an EC2 instance; it could not parse my `~/.ssh/config`, and manually putting in the username, hostname, path to the private key, and even port 22 (because it literally required putting the port manually rather than defaulting to 22 unless stated otherwise), it would just say it failed to connect. The 2022 version has a "remote ssh" beta feature which also required manually putting in info that I felt like it should just be able to parse from my ssh config file, but it did connect and work for a week or two. One day it randomly started disconnecting a few seconds into loading a file continuously, which made it impossible to even scroll down into the file before it just zoomed me back up to the top. I gave up on it and just decided to stick with VS code for everything rather than try to get Intellij to work for the small amount of Java code I occasionally have to write.

Setting up ssh development with VS Code, on the other hand, was a breeze. The first plugin that came up when I searched "ssh" was Microsoft's own for ssh development, and running the command to connect to a server after installing it popped up with a list of my servers parsed from my ~/.ssh/config, which I could just select and it would connect (or prompt for a password if the ssh key required one). From there, I could easily open any project on my remote server, and VS Code even was able to detect which plugins I had installed for use with the project needed to be installed server-side rather than locally (e.g. the `rust-analyzer` plugin was installed remotely since it needed to run the daemon on the machine where the code existed). When I close my VS code window, shut down my laptop, and then the next day boot it up and open VS code, it still has the same files opened to the exact same spot (compared to Intellij's "scroll to the top of a file on connection" I mentioned before). I'm sure there are ways to get Intellij to work like I'd want, and I'm by no means a fan of Microsoft in general (I avoid Windows whenever possible and overall have a pretty negative opinion of them), but VS Code just absolutely nails the UX I want in an editor without needing that much custom configuration compared to what I've tried in the past with emacs/vim.
If you're lucky those sites have the raw data a server side generated JSON payload right in the site source code markup.

For example Target is clientside, but has all the data in a `window.FOOBAR = json` variable you can fetch and parse with some substring magic. Much easier than spinning up chromedriver and some package.
Me: "This article compares the wages not of all CEOs, but of 300 of the best paid ones."

You: "That is not true."

The article: "Report on 300 top US companies...."

Tell me again this is not 300 of the best paid CEOs? After all, the fact is CEO average pay is only 212k. BLS is a much better source than the Guardian for salary data, after all.

>You are making this out to be a random sample of irrelevant companies.

It is most certainly not a random sample of companies, otherwise the result would mimic the actual data from BLS. This is specially selected data to get this result.

It is a cherry picked sample of the very top end of the CEO salaries (300 of them out of over 200,000 of them that exist) compared to workers, but not all workers, only those that are among the lowest paid, again, to reach a shocking headline that creates outrage.

Here's [1] the actual report. Note in the report they compare part time worker wages to fulltime CEOs - not an hourly rate or something a tiny bit more defensible - for example, they compare an annual wage of $224 (yes, you read that correct) for a part time worker at NuSkin to the CEO wage of $4m. They repeat this type of nonsense throughout the report. The dishonesty in the report to me is astounding - and it explains how they get the numbers to drive their headlines.

Comparing a tiny fraction of top values from one dataset to all of another dataset is not exactly a valid statistical technique. Doing everything you can at each step to widen the result to get what you want is beyond simple stats misunderstanding - it's nutjob agenda driven lying.

If someone did this to claim global warming was not real, or any of a zillion other false claims, people would (and should) cry foul.

If I did this, picking the top 300 employee wages in the country (all well into the millions) and compared to all CEOs (avg pay 200k), obtaining the claim that workers make many multiples of CEO wages, you'd rightfully cry foul.

So why the pitchforks and intellectual dishonesty when the data is manipulated this way? Because it gets a result you want to see?

How is it mostly protectionism?

There are currently three different fast charging standards, Tesla’s, CCS, and Chademo, and a vast need for improvements in charging infrastructure. If you don’t have a common standard, you end up with a fragmented network that caps everyone’s utility. Imagine if ICE cars could only get gas from certain types of stations, it’s madness.

Honestly, it kind of sucks that at this point you might as well call a project sunset if it has ASF stewardship, and that we seem to practically need the resources of a large company to keep an open source project "truly" afloat.

I vastly prefer the honesty in saying "sunset"; it helps bring more light to this situation, and will perhaps drive new approaches to funding foundations like the ASF.
Slack does not aim to build a superset of features of Atom.
Yep. I am waiting for its plugin support to come out to start really using it but I have it installed and I use it from time to time. It is pretty nice!
I like the optimism, but they have ways to go. Apple and TMSC never fails to deliver, but I can see Intel catching up and Qualcomm taking advantage of them now that Intel is a foundry.

That is exactly what Big means in this context: something indistinguishable from bureaucracy. I am sorry for you but if you want to be able to work “freely” and “get things done”, a big corporation is the worst place to work in.

I am not happy to bring bad tidings.

Edit: no business gets “Big” without a good paper trail and this implies that no action is performed unless some previous paper work has been carried out.
So, my future post of a similar vein is not welcome. I think there is a deep issue when so many people just stay in the fire long enough. Is this ideal? It feels wasteful, but I get it as I got out.

Fun fact, it helped to tell people my goals and I could have brass tax conversations about peoples careers. As a mentor, once you move from 'how you can help the company' to 'how you can retire early by selling what the company thinks it needs', you can drop so many facades.
It all comes back to that "development cycle" and wanting to make that as short as possible. What you suggest is absolutely fine, it's just my personal preference (and something that I've seen help other devs) to make the "write code"->"see results" as tight as possible.

If you add any delays, any potential chance of forgetting a step, etc then it breaks my programming flow which can kill my productivity.
Oh I had no idea it was improved now. I tried it about 5 years ago and couldn't make heads or tails of it. I'll try it again.

The tyranny of the French National Assembly’s seating chart continues!

I’m just going to say it: the perception of where the American Democratic Party or the American Republican Party sits only matters to American voters. To whatever extent it interests foreigners, I’m happy to provide the entertainment as I take plenty of entertainment watching foreign politics myself, so fair is fair, but an outside observation of where we sit politically isn’t an actionable or useful observation because we’re not those other countries.

That isn’t to say there isn’t anything to be learned from the actions of other governments, whatever their domestic political makeup, but I am happy that if this were 1792 neither major American 2022 political party would be perceived to be getting buddy-buddy with the left of the French National Assembly. Actually gives me some hope for my country to think of it that way.
I've used Zapatos and can vouch for its effectiveness. It doesn't bind you into any specific way of setting up your database or defining models, but provides an extremely easy way to integrate with other TS libraries in order to get typed queries.

Thank you for your incredible work on this.
Does anyone know if there as a good equivalent for Go?
Yeah but that's not the whole picture - it's not just FOSS choosing Electron so much as platform holders being hostile to cross-platform development.

For instance, if Apple had actually kept pace with OpenGL standards, and had embraced Vulkan, it would have been fairly straightforward to to build a native GUI framework which works across platforms.

Electron won because all the platform owners basically had to embrace the implementation of web standards on their platforms. So they couldn't prevent those tools from being used to deploy local software as well.
> Our abortion laws are (for now) more lax than almost all European countries,

The way it currently looks is the right want to ban abortion no matter what context. Which is far far more strict then most EU countries. And the current legality status is in a legal gray are as far as I know, which is also worse then in many EU countries, through in practice in some states might not. And sure there are EU countries which are also quite far right.

> Our tax system is more progressive than many European countries

Progressive is not the same as left/right. I'm not sure a tax system can be left/right at all. But if we look at the usage of taxes than it's a very clear no.

> but our rich still need to pay their "fair share."

No, not at all. Through sadly that is the case for huge parts of the word.

> The left in the US wants us to essentially have completely open borders, and there's been a huge pushback to the 'refugees' coming to Europe.

The US (and EU) are a major (but not the only) drivers behind the conflicts leading to the refuges...

The codebases of VS Code and Atom are unrelated to each other.
Lmfao, I've never been outside America or Canada. I'll take you calling me European as a compliment though.
the code is only one of many artifacts within a project . you have multiple support channels for bugs and features, builds, distribution , monitoring / ops (crash and perf reports), developer apis and a dozen more – each requiring time, attention, people and effort .

fork the code and start a new project with resources to take care of those and many other artifacts if you are so inclined . you have the license to do so
> Linux or Windows can go down as easily as FreeBSD, and a single operator would be just as much a point of failure.

That wasn't the original point though.

The problem presented is "The market for FreeBSD operators is smaller than the market for Linux operators". Which was countered with "I, as one guy, could manage 100s of freebsd servers".

That does not address the initial problem. There are a LOT more sysops people skilled in linux operation vs BSD operation. That means choosing FreeBSD limits your pick of people that could reasonably manage a fleet of servers.
