>I do like understanding my code as much as possible. So I was choosing between: 1. Understand React better, and reading about the "React" way to use these mouse events. 2. Doing it in VanillaJS

The great thing about the "React" way of doing things is that it's just the JavaScript way of doing things.

React can be summed up entirely as: "a function that takes in props and returns rendered HTML". It is not a framework. There is no black magic. There are no idioms. There are no batteries included.

Anything else you do with it beyond that is entirely up to you.
It isn't so much that they are addicted (though they are), but that someone will take their spot while they are up.
Yes, I’d add that for many or most people, music is a way to connect with peers and mates in your teens and 20s

If you no longer have as much time or motivation for that due to having a family, it’s only logical that you won’t spend as much time on that activity

Not judging one way or another, but I liked music for non social reasons as well, and I still seek it out in adulthood. Kexp and tiny desk on YouTube are a constant source of great artists and performances
In my experience, the "base" configuration should always be in use somewhere. Otherwise you inevitably end up with cruft, when default values turns out to have no practical value.

In your example, "dev" should probably be the default configuration, which "prod" overrides. It's a tiny detail but I think it pays over time.

A similar situation is when you have lots of almost-identical settings between many (micro)services.
Did Windows 10 start to crash in VBox for you too? I had to move to libvirt/qemu as I was not able to resolve. Downgrading nor upgrading VirtualBox did not help. Removing last windows update helped a little, then it started crashing again.

Sorry about such a long reply.

I don't think rejecting gay marriage is really a big issue. If he was for calling for castrating gays or something I would be there with you, but he has shown that he can separate his personal views with work and is not advocating for harm against others.

I am going to explain what I perceive his position is. I could be wrong, but am probably decently close.

Eich likely believes the definition of a marriage is something along the lines of: a monogamous relationship which is theoretically capable* of producing new life.

* meaning excluding health situations like infertility. This is an exception not a rule.

You and he have a massive difference of opinion on that definition. You seem to think the purpose of marriage is an expression of love.

The problem with your definition is that it would allow for both polygamy and more than two people in a marriage. Maybe you are fine with those types of relationships being defined as a marriage, but the majority of people are not. Almost nobody would consider it bigotry to deny the right of a polygamist to engage in multiple marriages.

This means the majority of our society believes we have the right to deny marriage to consenting adults even if they are in love. We are now just debating the exact limits we should have.

I think due to your misunderstanding of Eich's views on marriage you don't understand how his views differ on gay marriage and interracial marriage. I'm guessing you think if Eich was alive 150 years ago he would not support interracial marriage. I am not sure if that is the case. There is nothing intrinsic to interracial marriage that would prevent it from meeting Eich's definition of marriage. Interracial marriage has long been a thing for groups that interacted with different races, perhaps for the entirety of the legal recognition of marriage. The denial of interracial marriage only became a thing somewhat recently.

Eich likely believes that marriage is not just an expression of love. There is a more fundamental purpose which is to create the best environment for the rearing and bearing of children. Gay relationships are incapable of causing a woman to become pregnant. That is of course not to say that a lesbian could not be pregnant, but that a lesbian relationship does not cause the pregnancy. There is a secondary purpose which is the automatic inheritance of wealth and titles, however, with wills and blood tests having legitimacy issues is less of an issue.

There is also another issue which is changing the definition to include something that was previously fundamentally excluded. Nobody denies that words can change their meanings, but changing to mean something that is contradictory to the previous definition is questionable. If there was an attempt to change the definition of a married person to include non married people Eich would be opposed to that attempt as well. That wouldn't be bigotry.

Basically, I don't think it is bigotry for Eich to not support the change in the definition. It has always meant a certain thing and he wants it to remain that definition. That isn't bigotry.

From the link:

> Pete concentrated on building a system [in COBOL] that works for him and his clients.

If that system isn't replaced before Pete retires, it turns into a significant hidden risk.

You don't know how dependent on something you are until you try to replace it with something else. If hype is driving the replacement, so be it. An organization can make replacement a regular practice and get good at it; or it can find out when it unexpectedly becomes necessary.
The unfortunate reality is one really good programmer can oversee 5 or 6 2-4 years of experience programmers. Almost all corporate software, even in FAANG, runs this way. People want to believe their 20 years of experience counts, but it doesnt. Mostly your ability is capped by your intelligence and exposure to other really good programmers. But it plateaus very fast, and there is no learning after a certain amount of years of coding (I would argue at 4-5 years of good/varied experience mark).

Whats more, I would argue that the idea that the human brain can hold ten years of programming information to be absolutely absurd. The universe of what you can learn technically and recall is smaller than that time frame. World class physicists, mathematicians, chess masters, etc peak young. The brain doesnt need a decade to reach the heights its capable of.

Everything in the feature-list for Gorm is bog-standard for C# and Java ORMs. Do they support any special query languages comparable to OData, LINQ, or JPA?

Not wanting to get in a debate on whether you should use an ORM, but I just don't see anything really special about Gorm that makes the other frameworks "ancient".

When I look at this page: https://gorm.io/docs/advanced_query.html I see the same exact crap that makes me wary of JPA Criteria API.

Two of my most used and most useful kitchen tools are a Thermapen and a digital scale. Just being able to measure accurately makes all of the difference in cooking just about anything. A cup of flour or a teaspoon of salt can weigh very differently depending on how tightly packed or how fine the grain is, better to be exact and not risk screwing everything up.
> The Bitcoin decision is single handedly marching San Salvador into a currency crisis

This is an extreme oversimplification. The issue is that decision to make Bitcoin legal tender has put El Salvador at odds with the IMF. Arguably they would have been at odds anyway, and the IMF is simply using this issue as leverage (as well as to foment internal political divisions). The issue is primarily political (not economic!), especially considering the small amount of money invested in relation to the country's overall finances.
How so? Either it'll say "NO!" or "YES!"

I guess it won't age well if what we call El Salvador today no longer exists.
Companies have to protect people from protected classes. That doesn't mean they can't fire people for being assholes to non-protected classes. (It's a separate question of whether casteism would count as discrimination against a protected class - arguably it should, since only people of certain nationalities / races are subjected to casteism.)
Barely making ends meet on 250k in SV is just part of the problem. Another part is what kind of people surround you. If all your friends make much less than 250k, then sure, 250k sounds like a good deal. But if you make 250k but all your friends (who are no smarter than you) make at least double that, then you start feeling like maybe you should too. Making 250k in SV feels like the center of middle class. Not even upper middle class. Not happy with public school education? Want your kids to go to nice private schools? Sorry, can't afford it (assuming ~2.5k/mo per kid). But your friends at Google can. Want to drive ModelX like they do? That's going to be tough with all those bills you're already paying. Yeah, you can send your kids to community college - to save money - while your friends don't have to. And again, my friends are not geniuses. They are not executives. Not successful business owners. They didn't get lucky in any way, they just applied to work at big tech, and now work there as regular software engineers. Doing the same thing I do at a startup. We are social animals, and no matter what you tell yourself, if we don't measure up to our peers we feel like losers.
For many people phone addiction is just that, an addiction. For those people, this advice is like telling an alcoholic to be a badass and stop with just one drink.
I think you would agree, when you choose a job you are choosing it based on a few base components. Job duties, pay, culture, location, travel requirements, hours per week etc... If these do not match up with what you want then its your job/right to get a different job at a different place with different components.
Yea, I was shocked they talk about stripping jQuery as if they have these super fast, snappy pages and then ... it's React. WHAT? React is a lot if things to a lot of people, but fast loading (on an underpowered device with bad connection, which are the conditions they're talking about) isn't one of them. When I imagine a grandma trying to login into a gov site and loading a meg of react related garbage which then runs like ass anyways, I want to punch a Zucc in his cold blooded alien dick.

Ubuntu briefly included Mono-based apps in the core distribution. Sadly the backlash controversy after that around the size of the Mono runtime (which wasn't much bigger than Python at the time, but got a bit of a "but we've already got Python, we don't need 2 Pythons" in response, and ahead of the whole python2/python3 split, hah) and the worse controversy about Microsoft-adjacent conspiracy theories did a lot of damage to the then-nascent world of Gtk+ based .NET apps in Linux and left some scars.

The first part seems to add confidence that if the right apps/developers came along, Canonical themselves likely wouldn't have a problem putting them in the distribution. The second part would explain why there aren't just apps waiting in the wings for it and why "the community" (or at least certain vocal parts) may still not be as welcoming of .NET-based apps in the distribution this time around like it played out that previous time.
I'm not a lawyer, I can read the TOS but I'm not qualified to understand it. TOSes are a farce but that doesn't mean they can't be enforced.

EDIT: But I'll humor the premise, here are some lines from the customer TOS:

> (e) You will not use the Services to cause nuisance, annoyance or inconvenience.

> (q) You will not try to harm other Users, DoorDash, or the Services in any way whatsoever.

> (t) You will not abuse our promotional or credit code system, including by redeeming multiple coupons at once or by opening multiple accounts to benefit from offers available only to first-time users.

> You agree that promotional offers: (i) may only be used by the intended audience, for the intended purpose, and in a lawful manner;

What are the actual legal implications of these lines? I have no clue. Could they be construed by lawyers to forbid this scheme? I don't know.
No idea. I think of /home as the important part. Everything else is disposable.

If I could painlessly flip the FHS, I'd have something like /system, /data, and /config.

/system would be "Files you can download from your package manager verbatim". This is what apt and pacman create and update. If I lose it, who cares, just re-install the OS.

/data would be human-made and only human-made. Not even program preferences. This is the only thing I really care about backing up.

/config would be all the dumb little dotfiles that won't put themselves properly in $HOME/.config. This is stuff that might be important, but since I didn't choose the names of the files or for them to exist, I don't want them cluttering up /data, and I don't want a program complaining if I delete a file in _my_ /home that the _program_ thought belonged to it.

I think Android does something kinda like this. Android is right twice a day.
Exactly

Another key quote from the article:
>>"the only viable endgame is a promise of monopoly concentration and increased prices. But is that even viable?"

No, it is not viable, because as soon as Uber/Grubhub/Doordash/whatever start thinking they have enough of a monopoly to raise prices, ppl will get sick of it, and your scenario of the locals, perhaps with an app, will overtake them because they don't have the global overhead. I don't see this as a business with advantages of scale, but disadvantages of scale - it's all about getting the local market right?
FIPs?
ok, how do you backup your database volumes? when db is running.
I think eventually some of today's illustrators will not find employment. They'll have to find some other work, maybe some of them will operate these programs.

I feel like not enough attention is on the future of AI or computer automation to devastate many types of employment. It already allows increasingly automated factories to produce more without needing so much human intervention. Did you notice that McDonald's wants you to order with a touch screen now, and you can check out your groceries with one harried clerk managing 10 checkouts instead of doing one at a time.

I expect that entire industries will shrink their workforces. Because the us is this place where we don't have very good social safety networks (because half the country thinks that makes us strong or something), the poor will find it harder and harder. There will be ever fewer people working in farms, many other kinds of physical labor will pay less with low demand. What's the end game? We in software are lucky for now, we tell those displaced to get educated and get a better job. What happens when/if there is a need for fewer of our kind? The world will be happy to save money for our labor if or when tools like GitHub CoPilot become more usable.
Delivery is only worth it if getting a DWI is on the table. Literally the only time I get DoorDash/GrubHub/etc is when I'm drunk and shouldn't drive. A DWI ticket and the expense that'll incur is well worth paying someone a delivery fee.

EDIT: I suppose I have to also mention that killing people by my drunk driving is also a good reason to use DoorDash. Just thought maybe that was obvious...

I can't quite get onboard with RLS directly from the client. It seems like a risky and finicky thing to design database access patterns around, but they might be a stroke of genius that I'm too blind to see right now.
I disagree that it’s that much different from people being immersed in their smartphones, not taking notice at all of their surroundings anymore. With a sunglasses-like solution, you probably would/could still see the actual surroundings in your peripheral vision, or via pass-through, similar to how you can still hear your surroundings through non-sealing earphones, or via pass-through for sealed ones.

> Rather than high speed rail to get the masses into cities for work

That wouldn't really work outside of some very specific cases. High speed rail (300km/h+) needs some distance to get to its cruising speed. Below that it's a waste of money. The shortest high-speed rail route i know of is Paris-Reims and it takes 40 minutes, which is decent for a commute, depending on home/work to train station distance.

0 restaurants delivering to downtown Chicago, the second largest central business district in the world after midtown Manhattan.

I’d be happy to pay extra for delivery and try out places outside of walking distance if I knew the money was going to restaurants and drivers. But for all their complaints about DoorDash, the restaurants aren’t making themselves accessible elsewhere. The delivery companies put in work that restaurants weren't, and aren't able or willing to do, and that's part of the reason they have such high revenue (all concerns about quality and sustainability aside).

What resource are they competing for? Souls? Tax dollars? You don't win points by having a high population, so why do states want one? There's no shareholders here.

It's easy to imagine scenarios where the economic desires of high-wealth outsiders who could move to a state are directly opposed to the needs of low-wealth people currently living there. A competition-based model would find it easy to make the wrong choice.
The 'crisis' is mostly one of pricing, in that farmers get the water for nearly free, so they use 80% of it in inefficient ways to produce low value crops, because hey, it's basically free. Cities pay much higher prices, but it almost never makes sense to pay ~$$$ for desalinated water just so you can keep giving away water for $ to other users.

> “Over the last 20 years, there’s been several years where there were opportunities to not take all the water from the system, but we still did,” said Christopher Kuzdas, a senior water program manager with the Environmental Defense Fund. “So we kept drawing down our water supplies in Lake Mead and Lake Powell. And so those water supplies in those lakes, almost roughly 60 million acre-feet of water, that’s been our buffer that has allowed us to keep going forward using more water than actually provided by the river each year.”

Almost a textbook tragedy of the commons.

> ...the federal government on Tuesday announced new water allocation reductions, including nearly 25 percent in cuts to Arizona.

> In a news conference Tuesday, federal Bureau of Reclamation officials announced cuts to the yearly water allocation to Arizona and Nevada, as well as Mexico, which is also party to the compact. The bureau will withhold about 21 percent of Arizona’s yearly water allocation next year, as well as 8 percent of Nevada’s.

In context, Arizona's population is expected to increase by 26.1% by 2040. Given that population increase, if their water allocation remains the same, then the average Arizonan in 2040 will have access to 62.6% as much water as the average Arizonan did yesterday.
