i really dislike wrapper patterns of any kind, as they add needless markup. sure, it's ok if used sparingly to paper over the inadequacies of current html/css, but it's often used excessively nowadays, just like tables in days past. the element itself, not a superfluous wrapper, should provide the parameters necessary (implicitly or explicitly) to specify layout and prevent layout shift.

it sounds like the author takes an either-or approach to this, using either aspect-ratio (for design images) or height and width (for content images). having only skimmed, i haven't yet digested why hinting via attr(height) and attr(width) isn't the (future) preferred best-of-both-worlds, other than it not being supported yet ( https://caniuse.com/css3-attr ).

At my last job, we went from Drupal 7 to a headless CMS after evaluating several options. Our finalists included:

Drupal 9: Would've been better, but it's a PITA to set up and maintain. It's also the second most-dreaded tech framework (behind only Angular) on the Stack survey: https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2022/#section-most-loved-dre... I will never use Drupal or work for a company that insists on it again.

Contentful, the industry giant, would not give us a quote without a NDA. In hindsight this turned out to be a blessing; we found much more suitable small businesses.

DatoCMS (who we ultimately chose): Really good dev support, small startup means their own devs/founders are very active in support and co-development. Good documentation and examples. Does everything that we need, great plugin support, good choice of fields and schemas. The editors and departments we tested this with, most of whom aren't techies, loved it. I enjoyed it a lot too, especially being able to hang out with the devs on their forums and Slack.

GraphCMS: Similar in many ways to DatoCMS but more powerful (writable/mutable GraphQL API), more extensible schema, better for devs but editors didn't like it as much. This IMO is the most "technically excellent" vendor-supported headless CMS and would've won my "dev's choice" award.

Other similar options: Grav, Sanity.io, Prismic.io, CosmicCMS, ButterCMS, TakeShape, Strapi, Storkyblok, Kontent, Ghost, Directus... here's a good list: https://www.cmswire.com/web-cms/13-headless-cmss-to-put-on-y...

Airtable: Surprisingly capable with its REST API, for the super simple use cases. You'll have to handle permissions and caching yourself though (i.e. proxy the API through Cloudflare or similar). A really good way to get a simple website up and running.

Wordpress with ACF: You can turn off the built-in Wordpress-y-ness and just use ACF if that's better, but your client probably still wouldn't like it. Still waaaaaaaaaaay better than Drupal.

There are a bunch of open-source and/or self-hosted options, but IMO being able to move to a vendor-supported solution with built-in GraphQL endpoints was a DREAM. It meant being able to fully do a Jamstack with Next.js and Vercel or Gatsby/Netlify, and never having to touch the backend again.

Your client edits the content in someone else's CMS, you maintain the frontend, and it all just magically works with no infra maintenance... really frees up support.
Umm... I'm looking at https://www.ercot.com/ and for all of Texas (if memory serves we're twice the landmass of Germany and probably on par by population) on one of the hottest days of the year, we've got about 84,000 megawatts of capacity. I think you're off by a couple orders of magnitude when talking about thousands of gigawatts.
Why even have permits then? Just get rid of the permit system altogether.

There are probably many million starving African desperate to work a job like trash-man or food packager. Competition for lower skilled jobs will become fierce, but I guess competition is a good thing.
Personally I would make that separation even if there is just one developer (i.e. me).
CrafCMS. Beautiful back-end, clean, well-structured DIY templating based on twig (or use the built-in API), cheap to host, secure, designed with dev and admin ergonomics in mind, constantly improved. Zero BS of any kind, just considerate design, good engineering, responsive support and community.

$300 for the pro version (adds unlimited users with granular permissions and graphql), free-forever single admin tier.

A solid, rich ecosystem of plugins. Supports headless out of the box.

My experience with it, and with Pixel&Tonic, the intentionally small, solid and profitable company behind it have been beyond delightful.
This is very simple. Happiness is generated and defined by moving towards a goal that you really believe to be valuable.

Arriving at the goal is mildly relieving briefly then almost immediately after anxiety inducing due to sudden lack of purpose.

Your purpose is to make then world a better place.
In a civilized country such as many developed countries in Europe a life sentence is roughly fifteen to twenty years. That is a remarkably long time. It is an extreme punishment.

There are exceptions for psycho killers like Anders Breivik. Ulbrich would be unlikely to fall into the Breivik category. His prison conditions would not be so brutal either, see again Breivik for an example. If you believe he deserves life, do you believe he deserves brutality in prison?

He is by many international legal definitions a political prisoner found guilty of what appear as obviously relative political crimes and likely even absolute political crimes. His politics were core to his supposed criminal activities in the war on some drugs. His investigation and prosecution was tainted. Several of the involved officers committed blatant crimes for personal gain for which they were later arrested, charged, and convicted. Those same state agents appear to have alleged the murder for hire, which is somehow not entrapment and yet considered credible.

In 1769, William Blackstone said “the law holds that it is better that 10 guilty persons escape, than that 1 innocent suffer (innocent person be convicted).”

Morally and in principle, especially in a tainted investigation with misbehaving Government agents, the guilty should be let go. Perhaps you don’t agree - either way, there is an appearance of a two tier legal system.

The system that jails Ross but lets very wealthy pharmacy company owners off with thousands of confirmed deaths, people who produced, marketed, and sold similar and sometimes identical drugs exclusively for profit are punished with a fine.
The one time I decided to open the link first rather than read the comments.
By looking at the remnant of the big bang -- measuring the power spectrum of the remaining cosmic microwave background energy, across large angles of sky.
The Milky Way galaxy really is that old. There are at least millions of stars (red dwarfs) in the Milky Way, probably most with planets, fully that old. Some of those could easily be covered with life nearly that old. And, probably way more black holes that old, many (co-)orbiting those red dwarfs.

That is not to say our galaxy had its present form, then; a bunch of galaxies merged to make ... well, what we are in. (Ownership would be wrong to claim.)

It is really just our own sun that is new. Ish.

That many billions of years is time for a very great deal of evolution. But, also of exposure to such existential risks as nearby supernovas and magnetar starquakes that could sterilize a whole planet down to the mantle. A galaxy is a dangerous place even without alien invasions. So, lots of Pompeiis covering the full spectrum of stages. But given time, life could arise again, wholly new, after.
By that logic people shouln’t be judged for Al-Qaeda membership. There is a meaningful difference between groups people join voluntarily and those people are born into.
I feel like censoring the training data as a way of attaining "safety" is a cheap fix that will obviously never extend to AGIs, which will probably have to be trained in the real world to even be AGI.

> The code quality is determined by the author, just like today.

This is nonsense. The worst authors can still produce bad code with the best tools and the best authors can still produce good code with the worst tools, but most authors are somewhere in the middle, and tooling makes a huge difference to the average.
I know this is whistling in the wind, but the Webb telescope just fills me with such hope and excitement. I feel generally so down about the state of the world, but when I think about the sheer complexity of the Webb telescope and how it has basically gone as well as anyone could hope, it just makes me happy. Deep thanks and gratitude to the huge number of people who worked so hard on this project.
I believe there are models of window units with heaters available though they may just be doing resistive heating. I've seen plenty of mini-splits running as heaters obviously using heat pumps and they seem to work quite well.
> Is there any other option?

Not spreading the virus around would be the ideal. If we got people protected with vaccines and kept community spread low the number of variants wouldn't rise as quickly. Fewer variants would mean vaccines would stay effective longer and we wouldn't be rolling the dice on any new nasty features as often. I don't think we can ever hope to eradicate the virus from the earth now that it's here, but we could do a lot more to keep it from spreading at the kinds of rates it has been.

> Vaccination would not help because it works exactly the same way.

Vaccination doesn't work the same way because you gain the immunity without having the virus. No virus in you, no chance for the virus to mutate or spread and then mutate. You might still get infected by someone else later, but you aren't depending on getting infected to maintain your immune system's preparedness and if community spread is low because people are vaccinating instead of virus swapping your odds of getting the actual virus will be low as well.

> Vaccination certainly helps for the initial response, so people don't get as sick. But after that natural immunity is superior to vaccination.

From the evidence we have right now a combination of vaccine+infection gives the most robust protection, however that still involves getting infected and taking your chances with lasting heart lung and kidney problems. In my book, not having to take my chances with complications or long covid more than makes up for the difference which makes vaccines without infection superior. The odds of ending up with long covid was 1 in 5 in a recent study (https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7121e1.htm) but different variants will carry different levels of risk. Even if you like your odds today, if you're just passing the virus around incubating new variants all the time who knows what odds you'll end up with later. There's evidence that people who get reinfected with the virus have an increase in their risks for long covid too.

> But it's not true what you say, a mutated virus can still elicit a partial response.

It all depends on what the mutations are. If a virus changes enough it may no longer be recognizable as the virus you were previously infected with. We're somewhat lucky with Covid because its structure makes it less likely to mutate to the point where we don't get some kind of response, but it's already evolved so much that our first vaccines which were 90% effective at preventing infection while at full strength are now only 30-40% effective at preventing infection.

The good news so far is that even the old vaccines are pretty effective against the most severe cases and death, but that too is subject to change. It's already looking like re-exposing your immune system has diminishing returns. That was one concern people had over recommending 4th doses of the original vaccines. The protection from infection people got from shot #4 didn't last nearly as long as it did after getting shot #3. I'm really hoping the new vaccines help with that. Right now people who get covid can get reinfected with the newest strain after just one month!
>I’d wager any “blue lives matter” folks would change their mind when presented with urban officers, and on the flip side all “ACAB” people would flip when dealing with rural enforcement.

i wish i could downvote this 100 times, because its just so absent of any factual basis. i live in rural oregon and regularly have to defend my neighbors from the police. the year i moved to my home in rural oregon a young child ~7 yo was accosted on my driveway on july 4th by local police for riding their bike down the street. my wife cried, i had to go out and talk to the police. when disrupted, they provided no explanation for why they had pulled the child over for questioning on my driveway (bringing said child to tears obviously), they let him go while i was arguing with them that they had no reason to accost this child. (they were never able to come up with a reason that this particular asian child was not allowed to ride his bike on a road where many white children had been riding all day)

i moved to rural oregon coming from downtown portland after tear gas was pouring into my 12th floor window during that 2020 protests. this wasnt citizens deploying tear gas downtown, this was police. 12th floor of a high rise in downtown SW Portland. this was in May of 2020 before it got much worse. the policing here in rural oregon is not much better but more infrequent, this does not represent a better police force, but a more lackadaisical one with less accountability.

the idea that rural police are actually more inclined to police their jurisdiction properly is pure hogwash, invented by people who dont interact with those outside the "standard social sphere" and see no problem with outcasting others. sure in rural oregon where you dont know anyone who isnt white, it might seem like the police are just hunky dory; but bring anyone else into the equation and you see very quickly who is and isnt held the the absolute law, and who is and isnt hunted down by those rural police and treated as a criminal despite actions and age. your comment speaks to your incredible ignorance of what many people go through, even in the rural areas of this state.

reminder: oregon is a state that outlawed slavery, not because of the human rights violations, but because it would mean that black people were allowed in the state! please be serious when talking about how utterly depraved the state of oregon is when it comes to treating all people with their basic human rights.
I closed everything that was using more ram that plasmashell on my machine and ended up with about 3.3GB of memory usage (down from 12ish, mostly firefox, but evolution and MS teams were also pretty ram hungry).

Notable not-kde things that were using significant ram after doing this:

Various pipeware processes, adding up to at least 100MB

systemd-journald, also about 100MB

Several things enabled to run gnome applications (dconf-service, xdg-desktop-portal-gnome, goa-daemon) also about 100MB total

One thing I noticed about plasma is how many processes there are; plasmashell is only about 10% of the usage of a plasma system doing "nothing" and it's the single largest process.
That was well established that the immigrants are a net contributors(actually bigger contributors per capita in comparison to the locals) and actually a very small number of the immigrants take payments from the social security system.

It doesn't make any sense to go to another country and possibly spend a lot of money and risk your life and live on bare minimum. Very small number of people take that path.
It's a bit of a freaky question (you mentioned the same example last week too, I had to double-check if you were the same person) but I think it's actually really important and we should be talking more about things like that. It's entirely feasible with the current technology we have, and we can't just ignore that fact. We're basically one rich eccentric (who can afford the server time) away from a model that can remove the clothing from an image of a person. You can't put that cat back in the bag.

Most AI is currently done by big, "serious" companies that both care about liability and bad press of being associated with that sort of thing, and also have a lot of AI-ethicist-type folks on board who care a lot about what they consider "misuse". Some AI designs try to limit the NSFW training data used in the model (e.g. DALL-E 2), while others try to fine-tune or censor results after the fact (e.g. GPT-3).

Right now the adult-oriented AI applications lag slightly behind the most cutting-edge ones, but actually make up a shockingly big percentage of the consumer base, both current and potential -- adult content is probably one of the biggest actual potential applications for AI, and there are some really fascinating ethical questions around it (e.g. ethics of AI-generated porn vs real life porn, considerations around real people, minors, other illegal content, etc.).

Generally, adult-oriented models are either hobbyist clones/finetunes of existing models, or just existing models that people have figured out ways to get to work with adult inputs. There are plenty of AI model hosting services out there that have no qualms about being used for shady or even illegal purposes, so it's difficult if not impossible to stop it from the server provider side.

We need to be thinking more about what how we want to handle that sort of thing socially/culturally/legally, because it's gonna happen whether we want it to or not.
> Do many/most people really think they should have the ability to repair it?

“Ability” is the wrong word here, why did you use that word? It’s ambiguous and misleading, that’s why it’s called the right to repair.

Yes most people do assume they have the right to modify and fix something they “own”, whether it’s a car or a computer or anything else. Don’t you think it’s surprising and non-obvious that you might not be allowed to repair something you paid for and own, even when you know how to repair it? Whether they ever intend to repair something, and whether they have the knowledge to repair something, are both irrelevant to whether they have the legal right to repair something.

> they keep buying products where it’s expressly not possible to repair it yourself or by a competent 3rd party.

Most people have no intention of repairing their technical purchases themselves, and that’s perfectly fine. Most people also don’t care about right to repair laws even if it affects them. The point of right to repair laws is to establish the common sense standard that consumers are allowed to legally modify their purchases, and companies will no longer be allowed to go out of their way to prevent repairs or make them difficult (also and perhaps especially wrt 3rd parties), and also that companies and lawmakers will no longer be able to make customizing and repairing purchased products illegal as has been done in the past.
Focus on how you wish to share your code, and what features you need to deliver. If you're developing multiple small applications, it might make sense to build some re-useable core libraries after you've assembled the first one (do it too early and you'll be trying to 'bake an apple pie from scratch').

Need variations and reuseble front-end components? Package em up and take advantage of es modules.

Need to share common business logic? Package it up and share ruby modules.

At a certain point, you'll find domain boundaries within these, and be able to split them based on their use (delegate authN/Z to an sso "service").

Microservices (when not taken to an extreme) help build a pathway to re-useable code, much like TDD helps you write code that doesn't abuse side-effects, static classes, etc.

Don't split them out too early or you'll spend all your time keeping all these dependencies in parity - don't want to serve a raw steak or a burnt one.

Ugh, smells like crank. Someone discovered a climatology 101 fact and then made a big fuss about it. Just ... read an introductory textbook on climate science please. It's basically all speculation disguised as a "case study". The authors should show some numbers if they are really serious about their claim, for example, how much increase in marine evaporation can be expected from an idealized sterile ocean.
Is the point of this article that the author wants to be recognised as being special because they can write well? If so that's ironic in a few ways. Even then the idea that "the majority" thinks writing is easy is counter to my personal experience so I guess one of us is bad at judging the average opinions of people.
The article's subheadings are kind of confusing as well because I expected them to be a list of misconceptions but they are instead phases of the author's writing career.

I agree. Why would the government be the first step of HR? As if the companies can't choose the right employees for themselves and they need to go through the state bureaucracy so that they don't hire a lumberjack from Bangladesh as a JS developer in Bristol.

The legal system is worth only as much as the population it governs believes in it's authority.

Undermining the authority in a public manner is a sure fire way to ensure that the legal system will use you to reassert it's own authority as an act of long term preservation of the system's status quo.
All serious skills or accomplishments I have gotten in life have required both serious solo work and input, criticism, or encouragement from others. Purely solo activities I can go deep but burn out quickly if there is no real world reinforcement. Purely social activities I max out at a shallow level and never care to get any better. I think both types of learning are necessary.
