Just as photoshop became another tool to use in a designer's library, so to will it be with image generation (a la Stable Diffusion, DALL-E, etc.). There's no reason to think it'll be any different. Sure, the skillset will shift, learning to design prompts will become important for any designer worth their salt, but the job of designer isn't going away. It'll just be changed, just as photoshop changed it and provided new skills to learn and leverage.
So instead of a third party, I'm expected to install and run my own syncing service on the open internet and all of the security patching/monitoring is up to me?

I'd still want E2EE for that since if someone breaks the syncing service they'd have access to all of my notes.
>Upwards of 80% of the US population lives in urban areas

Look up the US Census definition of "urban." In the town where I live, three houses around me are on 100 acres collectively--not to mention even more adjacent conservation land and that's classified as urban because it's near a smaller old mill town and only about 50 miles from a major city.

> Surely this is a distinction without a difference though?

I don't think so - ICE cars are going to have much less wiring (that can catch fire) than electric vehicles.

IOW, if you think poor wiring in cars is a fire problem now, you can't also claim that cars with more wiring will be a smaller fire problem.

Hence I called it FUD - If cars are mostly catching fire due to electrical problems, putting more electrical components (like wiring) that carries more current (max in an ICE car is maybe 60A for starter cables, and 10A - 15A for everything else), it's pure FUD that increasing the wiring, and increasing the current carried in the electrical system will cause fewer fires.

I just don't see how adding more fire-causing components, and increasing the current is going to result in fewer fires.
I am really surprised by this guy's opinion. I make GoJS (https://gojs.net/), a diagramming library written in TypeScript with 68k weekly downloads on NPM. The project began in 2011 and we converted it to TS in 2018. It's been a huge plus. The sole downside was the initial time it took during conversion, but even in doing so we caught bugs with incorrect input types, documentation mistakes, bad range enforcement, etc.

On our end, it enforces type safety better than the Google Closure Compiler. There has scarcely been a problem with type complexity that was not ultimately our fault. Just a couple minor things that TS amended later. For that matter the TS experience has only gotten better, generally.

On our users end, we can now give them a .d.ts file that's much richer and easier for us to produce to aid their autocompletion. And we can use that .d.ts file to ensure that all the methods we intended to expose/minify are getting exposed. The advantages with the .d.ts and documentation make it feel almost essential to me for library developers to consider TS.

TypeScript has only made debugging easier, much easier since it catches errors at time of typing unlike the closure compiler. The sole exception is that debugging is a bit slower since I have to transpile instead of just refreshing the browser. But I have tsc set to compile a relatively unminified version of the JS. But if the slowness gets to me, I can just edit the JS output until I solve the issue, and then carry those edits over to the TS. This has never felt like a problem, though maybe his library is significantly more complicated.

It is very possible that my opinions are colored by using the Google Closure Compiler for so many years for type enforcement, long before TS, which has forced a level of discipline that may be unusual to JS programmers. But it seems like the problems are not with TS, but with the labors of architecting coherent and consistent APIs. But I am not familiar with the author's work to really judge.

Feel free to ask me anything if you have questions about library design + TS.
You were holding it wrong.
Posing a question with a lot of assumptions baked into it isn't really a great way of starting a conversation. Are the roads in Texas under-maintained? Is that under-maintenance significantly different from other states? Then finally, are income taxes what usually fund roads?

All of these things are assumptions built in to your question without having any real evidence of those things necessarily being true. Personally I don't have the answer to those questions, but one shouldn't begin their research making a lot of big assumptions which may or may not be true.

This is entirely possible and worthwhile; few people who are happy with how things are going bother to show up at all, so the only people who do are the people with a gripe or a grudge.

Because the seller, in a free market, has to please is customer. The way to please the customer is to have the customer benefit from the transaction.

You would think that Twitter might have a coherent strategy in place for dealing with the media on this but no. They are trying to discredit Peiter Zatko by stating that he was terminated for performance reasons and yet their spokesperson goes onto to make these completely conflicting statements:

From Twitter spokeswoman Rebecca Hahn:

Hahn said that Twitter fired Zatko after 15 months “for poor performance and leadership.”

Hahn added that Twitter has tightened up security extensively since 2020, that its security practices are within industry standards, and that it has specific rules about who can access company systems.[1]

2020 was of course the year that Zatko was hired by former CEO Dorsey. So security tightened up "extensively" on Zatko's watch but he was fired for "for poor performance and leadership"?

This only seems to support Zatko's(and many others) assertion that Twitter is a giant shit show of chaos.

What about the massive rents that Californians have to pay due to the state's lack of housing?

I would argue that since this is completely caused by State and Local governments, you can argue this is a tax levied by the state and distributed to property owners.
the type definition of the same is clearer imo and not only that it is enforced by both the ide and the compiler. Libraries typically DO NOT write a bunch of code examples of all the legitimate arguments that can be passed. Also in your example above,

> .addClass(function(node, i) {return 'name1'})

^ what is node? What is i? Seems intuitive to think it must be a dom reference and an index. But in different domains it's not always gonna be so clear. Like I am not familiar with umbrella js, but maybe node could be a jquery object and not a plain dom ref? With typescript you can just say

type GetClassName = (node: HTMLElement, i: index) => string | string[]

// see how I added string[]. So I don't have to add yet another example

// of a function returning a string array instead of a string

and then add it to the union of types that can be passed into addClass. Great, no more guessing based on the domain knowledge I have (or don't), it's crystal clear. And it forces the lib developer to have the discipline to make it crystal clear, which they usually don't I'm afraid.

There are many things that cause housing in California to be expensive (proposition 13, rent control, the excessively bureaucratic processes for building additional housing, single use zoning, etc.), and all of them need to be addressed.
I agree, Silicon Valley (e.g. Mountain View, Santa Clara) is absolutely full of tech talent but the average engineer is mostly interested in and optimizing for work in big tech companies.

This, 100%. In this very comment section there are a bunch of people saying "I maintain <API with crazy unnecessary complexity in it> and I can't figure out how to translate it to TS". Well yeah, that API sucks, make a simple one instead.

That's a total joke. We can't even make large railguns work reliably, let alone small railguns. Poisoned projectiles have long been banned by international treaty, and there's no evidence of any major military power even considering violating that ban.

I think that's less of a concern right near me. This is basically farm land or woods being turned into medium and low density developments. I think that comes into play with cheaper or higher density housing (either the legitimate low quality or the racist low quality version).
I second this. You can already develop on iPhone via Wi-Fi, so you don’t strictly speaking need to have ports any more.

If you want a defensive screen: minimalistic gliders, deployed to high altitudes, that dive down onto a target when needed. They'd simply use altitude as energy storage, and when that's nearly used up they take the rest to make it to some designated landing field, ready to get collected for the next launch. Multiple "shifts" at different points in the altitude cycle at any given time.
There is no way Lightning can deliver 101W, so for that one they would need to change the port anyway.

> That’s exactly what Michael Dell did with the suburban Austin ranch he uses as a second home. Periodically hunting and maintaining a “well-managed deer herd” reduced the property’s 2005 market value from $71.4 million to an agricultural value of $290,000, which saves him—and costs Texas—$1.2 million a year.

> It’s all perfectly legal under Texan law. As long as property owners stick to the state guidelines, country officials have no right to deny them agricultural status. Korea’s Samsung Electronics qualified for a “wildlife management” agricultural tax exemption on fifty-four acres of land outside its semiconductor plant in the Northeast Austin by putting up a few birdhouses, eradicating ants and taking a wildlife “census,” which reduced its tax bill from $21,080 to just over $135 (a reduction of over 99.4 percent), reported the Wall Street Journal in 2007. If wildlife isn’t your thing, dedicating a few acres to Christmas trees is enough to qualify for a property tax exemption under “timber production,” which is exactly what Hewlett-Packard opted for on its corporate campus in Houston. The company saved half a million dollars in property taxes in 2004, despite the fact that it openly plans to develop that land.
Clickbait.

Congress does NOT admit UFOs are aliens or any such nonsense. What they say is clear. Once a UFO can be positively determined to be a manmade object it no longer a UFO and would be passed off to other appropriate agencies to investigate.

Temporary nonattributed objects, or those that are positively identified as man-made after analysis, will be passed to appropriate offices and should not be considered under the definition as unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena

I'm not so sure ITEP is so unbiased. Aren't their affiliations generally left-leaning? I do know for instance that they have been openly anti-trump tax policy in the past. As squishy as these kind of numbers are, such statements as "Texans pay more in taxes than CA" should be taken with a huge grain of salt as always.

> This isn't a collapse of emergency healthcare, it's a very predicted collapse of community social care: hospitals can't discharge if they need a care home place that doesn't exist. Without inpatient bed availability, ERs and AMUs can't admit to specialties and everything gums up at the front door.

How does that manifest as ambulance wait times? Do you think ambulance drivers are sitting around for an hour before responding to calls for help because... the hospital is full? That's like saying my train to the airport was late because the airport was full, it doesn't make much sense. How does one back up into the other?

There is a separation between "forced to drink alcohol at work" and "there exist work events where alcohol is consumed".

I get that for some people, alcohol is such a problem that even proximity to it or related venues is a nontrivial issue. I'm not sure that or similar instances of an individual aversion to a broadly prevalent thing in society should require the topic of aversion to be banned or significantly hindered in work or the broader world.

Making sure that there are nonalcoholic options at events is a good idea and usually done. Making sure that there are a variety of events and not just events at bars (or whatever) is also a good idea and usually done. Trying to make it so that you're never the one to get a diminished experience because an aspect of an event isn't very compatible with your interests or needs is unreasonable.
> However, I had to give the prize back since it was a beer dispenser and I don’t drink. If your reaction after reading the last line was “Why don’t you drink?” or “Most of us do and it’s your choice that you missed out.”

No, my reaction after this is "Why didn't you just gift it to some friend who drinks beer?".

I guess this generic joke applies:

How do you know somebody doesn't drink alcohol? Because he told you so.

> The server (who was a little amused by my request) had to think about what they had that wasn’t alcohol but was gracious enough to bring me a pineapple juice.

If they had pineapple juice then I'd assume they had plenty of non-alcoholic options and the thinking was more about mentally composing a list of those instead of serving simply "beer". Some beer drinker will be more specific and ask for a Lager but that's what you get anyway if you ask for a beer.

> But somehow, the topic of alcohol seems to overpower all other topics in networking socials.

I'm guilty of that myself. I really like to explain to people who think malt is a type of grain how beer is brewed and ask about their favorite aqua vitae. At the moment, though, I am reducing my alcohol consumption.

Generally I share and agree with his view point. Have also been wondering about it.
Semi-related to that, when Facebook did finally roll out it's opt out from certain ad demographics tools in I want to say 2018-ish they included a view of your own demographics (if you could find your way through Facebook's maze of Privacy Settings with many corridors all alike), a Slack I was in at the time and I went through all of our personal demographics and one lasting result of that conversation was renaming one of the channels to #friendsofexpats because "Friend of Expats" was the creepiest, almost threatening sounding demographic tag that we all seemed to share (among other creepy, almost threatening demographic tags that don't actually sound useful to non-evil advertising). Because that was memorialized in a channel name that one has stuck with me since.

Correct! And that’s sort of my point. But I don’t think a lot of those companies care about wifi drivers working on laptops, as an example.

It is absolutely in their interest to help. But if people expect companies to just write a driver for X operating system, that’s not realistic. And if you could just port the Linux drivers, sure, that would be easier, but it wouldn’t change the fact that device makers still have the be able to prioritize where to put their resources. And laptop FreeBSD users is probably really low on most lists.
A tax surplus or deficit has nothing to do with whether the tax policies are regressive or progressive.

Case in point, over the weekend I tried creating an npm package for a custom hook. Since it's public-facing, I wanted to use TS so I could expose types for users.

Part of this hook is that users can pass in custom data. I tried to create a type that was basically "an object of any string key, with the type value". Gave up after like an hour of banging my head against my desk. Maybe I'm new to TS, but FFS it should not be that hard to do.

That's exactly why I enjoy listening to foreign pop music: I cannot hear how vapid the lyrics are.

But besides that, great music does not need to spell it out to convey meaning and emotion.

If the appreciation of a foreign song keeps growing, I will eventually look up a few translations. Their mixed interpretation usually only enhances an already enjoyable experience.
Not to mention the externalities that don't fall into taxes. E.g. If you are poor in a red state and you get caught with pot, that's going to hurt you pretty bad. If you want an abortion, now you need to travel to another state. If you want an education from a stronger public university system found in blue states, now you pay out of state tuition.
