I would say in well known tech companies it's the opposite: software and system engineering > computer science > web development

Typically softeng roles require a degree in CS or equivalent, and many years of experience on top of that.

Then again, in some other companies "senior engineer" is somebody who did a 3-months bootcamp and 3 years of work. It's very unfortunate.
If it's for the future, why not use something even newer than Deno, because clearly newer === better?

But on a more serious note, what could they possibly stand to gain to use Deno instead of NodeJS at this point? The languages are mostly the same, the tooling slightly different. Sounds like it'd add a lot of changes just for the sake of changing things. Not to mention newer stuff usually are less tested and higher chance of not working.

Speaking about newer, has Deno received any sort of security audits? Tauri is pretty focused on security, so one could assume that'd be a requirement before even considering Deno.
Coding and tech hiring challenges are far longer than half a day nowadays. Some are even up to two weeks.

I much prefer an hour of whiteboarding grilling than wasting an entire week on open ended problems full of fluff.

I really like planning, its the doing that I find much more difficult.
Monorepo is not necessarily synced deployment, and even if it was, each deployment of a single component is usually racy with itself (as long as you're deploying to at least two nodes).

Which means that you've got to do independent backwards-compatible changes anyway, and that for anything remotely complex, you are better off with separate branches (and PR/MRs) anyway.

Monorepos mostly have a benefit for trivial changes across all repos (eg. we've decided to rename our "Shop" to "Shoppe"), where it doesn't really take much to explain with multiple repos, but is mostly a lot of tedious work to get all the PRs up and such.

Absolutely. If they had told me that the code was total garbage in a snide tone followed by derogatory remarks about my mother, I would be over it by now. I am a very forgiving person.

Having me do two days of work and immediately throwing it in the trash without even glancing at it is the far worse insult.
In general, it is worth paying attention to the fact that cryptocurrencies are important for all traders now. I think you should also pay attention to the SingularityDAO DynaSet app because this service helps to engage in auto trading and also you will be able to view any changes that occur on the market. I believe you should take a look at their site and get acquainted with all this in detail. In addition, you can connect a wallet as well to make it easier to withdraw funds.

Bogle did extensive analysis on the impact of rebalancing (between stocks and bonds) on historical portfolio returns, and decided that it does not meaningfully increase your returns.

His main argument was rebalancing effectively switches high-returning assets for lower-returning ones. If one part of your portfolio did better than another part, why would you get rid of it just to bring the asset allocation back to your target?

Rebalancing will also generally generate capital gains in taxable accounts. If you're aiming for 60/40, but your stocks are now up and it's 70/30, selling those stocks to bring it back to 60/40 again means you will pay capital gains on whatever you sell.

The data shows you can get better returns by rebalancing weekly, but this is really too much for most investors, unless you use something like M1 where rebalancing is a single button click.

Of course, there's more complexity to this question. The above mostly applies to the accumulation phase. To someone in, or close to, retirement, for example, having a portfolio that's drifted too far into stocks can be a risk.
Interesting. I'd never heard that that could be a cause of cognitive decline.

In any case, no, I have teens. I've been wondering if maybe I caught covid without knowing it (asymptomatic) and this is brain fog.

The realization that...

Okay seriously this blew my mind.

The realization that the majority of the rules/regulations/laws/policies that we have in place are directly connected to the suffering of a human being.

Our society is reactionary. We enact new rules in response to negative outcomes. Any time we try to pre-empt a bad outcome, people claim conspiracy and/or believe that the problem is being over dramatized. It takes a negative real world event (often several) before we collectively agree that it's a problem and do something about it.

So then... all of humanity's progress is built upon the pain of other humans. That really sucks.

I wonder if there are any plans to buttress this issue with Rust. Last time I checked the issue was that there is/was no ABI stability which meant you couldn't have precompiled libraries to build against. The only way around it at the time was to expose C compatible APIs, but that means of course giving up much of Rust's strengths.

> Android doesn't count. Android used a cheap and standard kernel with many drivers and plopped a million proprietary things on top that look nothing like Desktop Linux.

Android is doing what every Linux embedded platform had been doing anyway. If anything, they're more open than the rest of the mobile/embedded space. It's not like e.g. OpenMoko looks more like Desktop Linux than Android does.
That's fantastic to hear, I've been wanting to switch to it for a while, as I hate how closed the commercial CAD programs are, but I've never put in the effort due to its various issues.

I’d say it depends what you mean by anonymous. If you mean you don’t want every mention of your software to be “John Smith’s app” then just start a company. That would make it “Company X’s app.” No one would care much about who owns Company X or which of their developers wrote the code. You wouldn’t be completely anonymous, as you’re still the owner of Company X, but users referencing your apps wouldn’t know about or mention you by name. They could, but they won’t.

In this case that functionality is broken right from the start. There should be a visible lang switch on a website. All other solutions are too technical, and/or have unexpected consequences, and/or lack flexibility.
Buying companies is not same as spending as the acquired companies are independently profitable. e.g. Mojang in hind sight is a steal for 4B. Same should be true for Bethesda/Blizzard.

These investment need not return profit in excess of the sticker price but increase the valuation of MS proportionally. If MS tries to offload Mojang it will get an impressive ROI.
Yeah, that comment they don't like? Crazy people will false report some incident to get a SWAT team at your address. Other crazy people will call your employment and start a campaign of attacks to get you fired. Plenty of examples of this out there. Some people, eg youtubers, get swatted multiple times.

What I'm reading from this is that Microsoft definitely does not consider GNOME a competitor in any of their interest-spaces, which is probably true.

I suppose another answer might be that it's easier to track HNWI leaving countries than it is to track them entering other countries?

> VSCode is free software...

As in beer only [0]. This license [1] states otherwise for free as in speech perspective.

> and also used a lot outside .NET development (TypeScript). It is extension based, and not all extensions every written for it are free software.

I know, and some of the non-free extensions are just the essentials, so they're what make VSCode, VSCode. So it's open-core, and it's not completely open source, and definitely not free.

> And VSCode is not essential in any way for .NET development,

I don't develop C#, but I know there are other tools and IDEs.

> I don't buy into this "All tools associated with an ecosystem must be free software". That is not even true in Java/C++/Python land, where there is a plentheora of commercial and succesful developer tools (i.e. IntelliJ, CodeWarrior etc.)

It may not be a necessity for you, and it's definitely not a necessity for closed source software or tools. However, I license all my code with GPLv3, and want my project to be buildable by anyone, regardless of anything. So I prefer a free and open toolchain (GCC/Eclipse/GNU libc) and libraries in my codebases.

If I was writing a commercial application, I may make different choices IDE/Library wise, but I'll still continue to use GCC family.

You don't have to buy into this. I'm not selling anything. This is my stance and a recommendation, but not an insistence.

> Yet if someone claimed a racial incident, would you be so quick to run to the latest peer reviewed study to verify that this group has victim status and the other group has perp status? Or would you say something along the lines of “believe women”, and “lived experiences are real experiences”?

Not an accurate representation of the situation at all. You are going too far in an attempt to make a point, inventing things out of thin air that don’t actually exist.

We know that gender biases and mistreatment of women is a real problem. The rhetoric of “believing women” is meant to counter the specific phenomena whereby the experiences of women are ignored or belittled while that of men aren’t. It isn’t a generic device meant to applied to all situations.

> I suppose I could claim generalization in the other direction. Something bad happens to a minority, the offender went out of their way to be aggressive/etc, Every. Single. Time. I can literally say this about any kind of aggression. White-on-white aggression in the burbs, black-on-black in the city, man-on-woman, women-on-man, etc.
> Here’s a suggestion- what if that one incident you heard fourth hand through the media isn’t always the reality every sees?

Here’s a better suggestion: what if we rely less on fourth hand incident reported through the media and instead look at statistical data and studies instead? How about that huh? How about you stop trying so damn hard to both sides the situation, look at the data (not anecdata) on what happens and then use that in your decision making?
HP Lovecraft's racism most definitely drove his writing and not in small ways. It courses through his narratives. The Shadow over Innsmouth, for instance, is literally entirely about the evils of cross-breeding with "lesser" people. The whole and full picture of terror from "the other" wouldn't gel as it does in his stories without his starkly racist ideas about the world.

That doesn't invalidate his art, in fact I think a knowledge of his profound racism adds another level of terror to his stories, in the realization that racism is a primordial horror that can and does haunt us all. To wave all this away by claiming he was simply a "product of his time" is to profoundly misunderstand his writings.

I read a lot of Lovecraft as a young teenager, and it was only years later that popular culture started to call out his racism. When it started to gain traction, I remember thinking, "um... well, duh."

> [...] My project has ~1700 lines of Rust, ends up pulling in ~700 dependencies [...]

I have no experience with Rust. Having 0.4 dependencies per line (so every 3 lines you are dependent on a 3rd-party) sounds very extreme. Can you elaborate a bit what those dependencies are (like many std libs?)?
It looks like as of a couple of years ago Deno is something the Tauri team was experimenting with: https://dev.to/tauri/use-deno-to-build-a-tauri-app-1f7h

My guess is that there's only so much change you can foist on people at once. If the point of Tauri is that JavaScript devs can leverage their existing knowledge and skills then meeting them where they (or most of them) are seems like a reasonable strategy.
Investing in ESG Funds
It’s weird that we don’t throw more money at the social sciences, in particular. People often laugh at the social sciences because of things like the reproducibility crisis. But if we’re finding it difficult to research fundamental questions about humans, why don’t we throw billions of dollars at the challenge, like we did with the Large Hadron Collider?
Most other energy sources are cheaper - at least upfront. For example, coal and gas are much cheaper, but they cause huge health and climate damage. Solar and wind on the other hand are clean, but they are intermittent, so in bad days you might have zero energy being produced from them.

We will always need a reliable source of energy that is not intermittent, and considering all the other alternatives nuclear is the best one for this task if hydropower is not feasible.

I think the goal of a single, quality "desktop linux" (or really a "free desktop", whatever kernel drives it), in the face of so much software diversity, is a lofty and improbable goal. The only issue probably is to match an ideal ("all IT departments use free software") with the practicality ("there is too much software diversity") with a fear that our current free software will fall out of favor with people seeking to work on and maintain software.

It is unfortunate though that some free competitors to commercial software still struggle a bit. GIMP has worked fine for my rather simple image editing needs though.

I recently developed a similarly sized APP with tauri + rust (3kLOC+~250 deps) and found that using mold[0] as a linker helped quite a bit for incremental builds. There were also a few other bits, like decoupling the build step in tauri from the frontend build, that helped.
