Yup. We all know it’s just a cover to push their religious beliefs on people.
If you can, find a new job. No company that thinks this is a good way to measure employee performance is worth staying at. Find a company that understands deliverables and deadlines and not about panopticon surveillance.
> But client-side rendering is expensive; the framework often will ship hundreds of kilobytes of client-side JavaScript to users on each request. These JS bundles often do little more than rendering static content that could just as well have been served as plain HTML.

server-side rendering for each request in V8 might be more expensive to host than client side rendering in V8?

for a properly-chunked app, hopefully most requests for the larger vendor bundles are cached/JITed, and each request doesnt actually download much extra JS.

there are also many frameworks faster than React (Solid, Marko, etc)
Carrying a gun in public is “bearing it”, so you are completely wrong according to at least three Supreme Court decisions and easily readable text of the constitution.

If you are pretending you want constitutional open carry, we’ll, that’s pretty funny I suppose. Because you definitely don’t.

Fortunately, AWS was kind enough to reverse the billing. Had this been Google Cloud, I would've gotten the cold shoulder and a low key threat that if I reverse the transaction I would lose access to my other paid Google products outside GCP :/
Unfertilized eggs are not human and have no capacity to become human. Should “lesser” humans have fewer rights than “full” humans? I think we’ve already been through that a few times in history and it has always turned out to be the wrong choice.
Not that I support this ruling in any way or form, but the 2016 election led to the current slate of justices who came up with this ruling. It is probably good and by design that we don’t change justices with the popular vote.

There already are that group - recipients of organ donations. If you or I decide to sign up on a match list, are tested for compatibility, and are selected, we have no legal obligation to proceed with the donation. You or I could be in the operating room side by side with the recipient and object moments before being anesthesized. Again, no legal obligation. Even if it should mean the recipient dies. It doesn't mean you are an asshole, or that it violates your ethical code, but still no legal obligation. So yes, we already have the concept, it's simply not evenly distributed.

I watched it the other day, along with its recent 2049 sequel, and felt much teh same thing about its portrayal of women. Really ... dated. There is so much stuff that is emotionally more intelligent these dayson Netflix or Amazon.

I still enjoyed both films but that aspect of them (both) really sucked.
Semi-tangent: I am a bit partial to the idea that the abolition of Slavery in England itself and the restriction of the slave trade in the empire during the period of roughly 1772 until 1807 was partly responsible for the industrial revolution.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerset_v_Stewart

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_Trade_Act_1807

Correlation does not equal causation, but there is a potential causal mechanism. This could have been a factor in the increase in labor costs in England itself at least, which helped drive the popularization of mechanized labor amplifying devices. The industrial revolution really took off a decade or two after the slave trade act of 1807, which would have been long enough for existing slaves to start aging out and since the act restricted the slave trade it would have been tough to replace them.

If we'd roundly abolished slavery in ancient times I wonder if we'd be on our way to the Centauri system right now.
You are correct: a bot that is well-behaved (follows robots.txt directions) will not crawl your site if your robots.txt forbids crawling.
This is pretty much it but it's larger than that. It's not just "magic", it's the whole nature of Tolkien's world. The world has a creator-all-powerful God and everybody in it knows it. He created all sentient creatures in it for his own entertainment. Everything that "is", is however he wants it to be and that's the nature of things, there's no Science to "discover". The world was flat like a thousand years ago until some men interfered with God's entertainment and he sank their island and reshaped the world round. Nobody doubts this too. There's many immortal beings out there you can ask firsthand (the Elves). Oh and those also know (or know someone who knows) the lesser gods that know the God. He's real.

Men in the world of Tolkien don't have any reason to "innovate" or even inquire about the world, really.

Does anyone else have trouble paying attention to email at all nowadays? Particularly in workplaces that use Slack or other chat software.

I only have the focusing capacity to use one communication medium. I spend tons of mental energy making sure I reply to Slack threads and DM's, but at the end of all of it, my email inbox is sitting with thousands of unreads.

The article says "if it's important, they'll follow up [again over email]", but in my mind at this point, it's more like "if it's important, they'll hit me up on slack."

I think more generally, I hate having multiple communications systems. If we (at the workplace) generally move to Slack for communications, stop emailing me. I won't see it.

Fair enough. How many startups/company websites clearly state what they are actually doing? The problem is particularly bad in B2B space where the descriptions are replete with buzzwords and don't convey anything more than "Lorem Ipsum"
An accident occurs and I need 5 litres of blood and a new kidney. You are in the hospital in a coma, should the state be able to require doctors to take your kidney and blood and put it my body without your consent?
People are forgetting we're a union of fairly sovereign states. In 1969, as you have today, some states allowed abortions, and other prohibited or restricted them. Thus it was decided democratically, as it is in most of the rest of the world. But when the federal government can come in and preempt state law, because the USA as a whole has a different idea, or in the case of Roe v. Wade, the unelected judges had a different idea, that is going to cause friction.

Also, the power of the federal government to impost laws on all states is highly controversial, and its history full of other supreme court cases carving out the definition.

You see the same friction with EU freedom of movement laws and immigration.
Are deno packages usable from the node side of the ecosystem ? and vice versa ?
Not to diminish how hard these things can be. It just reads more like a "hard things in (somewhat advanced) software engineering" more than computer science IMO. I expected reading things like "is graph isomorphism NP-complete?" at least included.

I'm in fact super acclimated with that file in particular. I've had zero problem jumping in and hacking around with it (been trying to cook up a FastAPI-like endpoint interface for async jobs/tasks a la Celery). Not a single line is surprising if you slow down and actually read the code - and I consider myself less-than-great at actually reading other people's code. It took me all of ... 15 minutes to find my way around, figure out the machinery I needed to hijack, and maybe another 45 to get a crude MVP of my concept working.

Honestly I prefer it over reading documentation and then having to mentally map to the codebase. I wish I could write this code well.

You sure you've actually read any of it, or did you just skim, see no docstrings, and decide it's crap?
I don't know, I really enjoyed reading Shakespeare as a kid at school. It stayed with me too. I actually can't remember the other books we read, except Lord of the Flies.

> Some people can't readily adjust to tiling window management, and barely anyone will switch to emacs

Then those are preferences, not need. I agree a second monitor should be provided if asked, but in no way is it a requirement. I'm not alone in my preferences either. I learned to code in Turbo C where the line length was _puny_ compared to even this comment box here. I was probably more productive back then.
> I think Republicans have latched onto this issue and Christianity in America has adopted it, but there is far more at play here than just Christian nationalism.

Yes, and polarization-fueled straw-man memes really obscure that. I swear some people's only understanding of "the other side" is a twisted view of the distortions of some overheated partisan bomb-thrower, stupefied into slogan form. But you kind of need something like that to feel confidently self-righteous.
> ignores the moral issues of later term abortions

If the SCOTUS decision was limited to that, the controvery would have been much, much smaller. Especially if it also considered medical exceptions.

But why be sensible when you can just go full Spanish inquisition on them, right?
I see JSON-LD show up in a lot of standards-driven document formats and it's made sense to me in that context. For instance, in DIDs^1 the basic document shape is established by one standard but then the key material is often identified using other standards. JSON-LD makes possible to merge together the definitions from the multiple standards without too much trouble or loss of specificity.

How you actually use JSON-LD seems to vary in practice. Programmatically, the most useful thing it can do is normalize a JSON into a shape you expect without losing specificity^2. More often, however, it serves as a form of documentation for where the terms are coming from, because developers will usually try to maintain a nice shape with the JSON documents they produce.^3

The @context is hard for developers to create, however, so outside of the standards process I'm unsure it gets a lot of utility. I'm also unsure how reliably the @context values have consistent machine-readable documents produced, so the programmatic value may be limited.

^1 Which we'll assume are a good thing for the purpose of this conversation.

^2 You can do this by expanding the JSON into the very noisy RDF graph-triple form, then re-condensing it into an object with sane (unprefixed, non-URL) keynames and values using your own @context.

^3 Of course you can't RELY on people to do that, which is where the programmatic utility comes into play.
I am very interested in seeing where this goes. I would love to see things get fleshed out a little more ala BlitzJS (auth, simple client/server session management, integrated database tooling), but I don't know if that goes along with Fresh's principles. But this is a very exciting start for this framework and looks like a great addition to the Deno ecosystem.

How many abortions happen after 20 weeks? How many of them are due to medical reasons vs "don't want this baby anymore"?

I'd wager that the vast majority of abortions post 20 weeks are performed with extreme reluctance and sadness, and only out of great necessity.
I said analogous, not identical. Clearly they see it as bad, but not nearly as bad as murder. If it was literally mass murder to them, I'd expect more bombs and riots, and less "campaign against it for 50 years to repeal it".
Tech recruiters seem to have some kind of god-awful candidate management software that sends follow ups automatically now. It's always the worst recruiters.

I lost my context while typing that comment and ended up speaking more generally. I can't speak to what the calculus is while hiring Rust developers but what you're positing sounds plausible. I know that, as someone with a very small amount of production Elixir experience, a lot of JDs I see are pretty adamant about it. Ergo, if I wanted to move to an org that is using Elixir, I would have to downlevel, and I don't know if I like the language that much...
> I know, and I'm sure you know, that's the real issue. Lots of people are uncomfortable with the concept of consequence-free sex.

Hard disagree that the abortion issue is primarily about consequence-free sex. You stated the issue in the first line:

> A fetus isn't a person.

Pro-life people vehemently disagree about this, and it's not coming from a place of prudishness. They are outraged because they feel like babies are being killed.

> It's not killing someone. A fetus isn't a person.

Isn't a fetus kind of like a tadpole? Sure, we may quibble that it isn't a person, but it is still a living being on the way to maturity. Killing a tadpole is killing _something_, right?
The whiteboarding questions are designed to test (a) whether people actually know how to code or whether they are crippled by their IDE for everything and (b) whether they can think through why they write the code that they write instead of using whatever code they can find to get to a solution.

The problem with whiteboarding (for me) is that it optimizes for people who are good at studying for and passing tests instead of people who are actually good for the job, which, ultimately, makes it a suboptimal determinant of how well the candidate will perform once they are hired.

I think that whiteboarding + delving into past experience is a great combination for screening. You can't bullshit experience.

A fetus isn’t a person like a black person or Native American wasn’t a full person, like children weren’t full people, or like women weren’t given the same rights as men?
Greatly frustrating that modern js keeps walking away from this. Private members, soon decorators are utterly invisible within the runtime. There's no win great enough to sacrifice a language capable of describing itself, processing itself.
Whether I “follow up” depends on the purpose of the communication. If I’m asking to borrow money from someone then that clearly benefits me more than him so I will follow up if necessary. If I’m asking my friend to come to my party then no I won’t follow up. If his misses the party because he couldn’t be bothered to read all of his emails then that’s his loss, no skin off my nose.
The first thing with bash scripts is you need to use a type system. Enforce json as your configuration language. Then have error handling as part of a default shell function library that emits json. All you are doing then is passing bad returns to a function that can emit json and reviewing json configurations for shell script variable definitions. Don't do in shell scripts what you can do in terraform. Don't use ansible/salt/puppet for what can be done in shell scripts. Shell scripts and makefiles go to CI/CD agencies (Jenkins). Ansible, terraform, etc...go to services that specialize in these.
Not true! We have written this piece that talks about the security of magic links and how they can be used: https://www.ezid.io/resource/are-magic-links-secure
Eh that's easily parried by just asking how you would answer those questions. It's a pretty easy argument that the company seeking to hire someone should be able to answer these questions and that a direct answer will be more valuable than a statement on a webpage.
The dated language is only part of the problem.

The bigger issue in my opinion is that most of his plays are written like poems, intentionally using lyrical rather than natural language.

Consider the lines:

"Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,

And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss"

The main barrier to understanding this isn't the word choice; most readers know what these words mean (expect maybe palmer); it's the way the sentences are constructed. Shakespeare's English contemporaries like Thomas Hobbes and John Locke are much easier to decipher, whereas many modern poets are similarly opaque.
FB does not provide enough value to actually pay for it.

> In all seriousness, I'm asking myself this question for a decade or so

Are you in a decision-making position at FB? If not, then in all seriousness it's pointless.

This might partially work in USA maybe, but it won't in other places.

For example India alone has 340 million FB users, which is greater than the population of USA. As an Indian, I bet not a single one of them would be willing to pay. FB probably wouldn't want to risk loosing them.

Ha! Our Iowa State Fair has the same two names on 1st/2nd in nearly every jelly/jam category. A fellow (Rod Zeitler, usually first) and his Mom (usually 2nd). And another lady (unrelated) in 3rd but occasionally swapping for 2nd with one of them.

The guy is an internist (I recall) and makes jam as a way of centering himself. Learned from his Mom of course.
Ok, story time. Worked on a near-real-time system that processed millions of rows an hour. Devs routinely did a "select " and pulled 100K rows into an array on a local client. And they sorted it there*. The DBAs never looked into these because a)no resource issue, b)no perf issues and (most relevant) c) no one complained. One day this silliness was identified, and a quick meeting with the devs and DBA resulted. SQL 101. As if by magic, the client app was suddenly 3X more performant. The devs were applauded and there was much happiness in user-land. Only the SVP knew the truth...we left the sun shining on the developers. It was a rough week.
Do you find it puzzling that some people think it's wrong to kill unborn babies? You might think it's fine, but anyone can understand that people can think it's wrong.

Just like I as a meat eater can obviously understand that there are vegetarians that oppose the killing of animals.
> server-side rendering for each request in V8 might be more expensive to host than client side rendering in V8?

Expensive not in money terms, but in user experience.

Also: if you are doing e-commerce, 100ms added latency can cost you 7-8% in conversions. Spending 5% more on hosting to do SSR just makes economic sense.
Companies manufacture crap all of the time that people don't really need, and these companies spend significant sums convincing consumers that they do, in fact, need or want them. I don't think people need to want your product now. You can also make something that people will want as well as what people do want.
> Don't get me wrong, I still like it

Stockholm syndrome?
Do you find killing a new born baby reprehensible?
If no this is a _very_ minority view you have.
If yes what is the difference between the new born to a 9 month old fetus in the womb? Then what about an 8 month old? Most would protect it too against abortion. And so on.

A compromising time limit solution for which elective abortions before is permitted and after is forbidden is the only pragmatic solution.
> Redux is slowly going out of style it seems

I'm a Redux maintainer, and this is actually _not_ the case :)

I'll agree that Redux is not quite as popular as it once was, and there's a few different reasons for that. It _was_ drastically overused in the first couple years, and there's other tools that overlap with things people used Redux for (Context for avoiding prop-drilling, React Query and Apollo for data fetching). Redux was also known for requiring a lot of "boilerplate" code.

But, Redux is still by far the most widely used state management tool with React apps - my rough estimates says around 45-50% of React apps use Redux. In addition, "modern Redux" with our official Redux Toolkit package and the React-Redux hooks API is _much_ easier to learn and use than the older style Redux patterns, and eliminates common bugs and the "boilerplate" concerns. We've also recently added a new "RTK Query" data fetching and caching API that solves the same use case as tools like React Query.

The best resource to learn Redux is our official docs tutorials:

- https://redux.js.org/tutorials/index

I've also helped assemble a useful list of learning resources for JS, TS, React, and Redux, hosted over on the Reactiflux Discord site:

- https://www.reactiflux.com/learning

The old pros are continuing to age out and retire or die. Places with COBOL systems want to keep their applications limping along instead of replacing them. The shortage of devs is only going to get worse. Remember when lock down started and some government systems built on COBOL started straining under the load? Rather than being dismissive, I'd encourage those with any interest at all to try to pick it up. We need folks to maintain it.
