I wish I could say this is not normal, but I see this everywhere: employers want cult-like fiefdoms, and many are successful creating them. These companies are filled with young developers who completely drink the kool-aid and become no less than fan-boys for their oppressor, as anyone that has had more than 1 job would look at the environment as darkly Orwellian.
Exactly. I don’t avoid the sun to that extent, but it’s pretty obvious that every strong sun exposure is a little bit more damage each time.

There was an interesting paper that show a woman who applied a sun protecting lotion to her face everyday for the last 30 years of her life.

But she didn’t apply it to her neck. The difference is very stark at 70 years old. The skin on her face was wrinkled but her neck look absolutely worse in terms of age and skin damage.

> less confusing way to do variable shadowing

How is this less confusing? := vs = will either push a new variable on top of a stack of identically named variables, or change the content of the top element on that stack? Why would anyone want any of that? Shadow variables are usually associated with hard-to-find-bugs, (i.e. forgetting that there is already a variable named 'xyz' in the current scope) not some great feature we want more of..
My 2c: I think svelte is overhyped and a poor solution to the problem it's trying to solve.

First of all, I am tired of ridiculous metrics like how small svelte is when it's a really small example, and it's one or two lines of initial boilerplate.

The thing that really set svelte apart was it's better syntax and experience when it first came out. I think that was when react class components, and vue 2 was still prominent. Look at the react and vue 3 examples now. They're really close. Vue 3 in particular looks a lot like svelte with vue's sfc.

I don't even think the dissapearing part about svelte is that important. That kind of performance is rarely going to matter before other bottlenecks. And if it really is that crucial, there's nothing stopping either react or vue 3 from doing something very similar. Vue 3 already has sfc that go through a "compile" process, and it uses getter/setters to make targetted changes.

There's also some considerable challenges to svelte: it's brining in custom syntax to really tackle the problems with reactivity. That's honestly really good if we could get one unifying system. It would be wonderful. But that's a tall order. Given how much traction these other tools already have, I don't see svelte ever fully dominating. Which makes it's extra magic and custom language features even more of a burden. People already complain about vue's few dsl's in the template or react's hooks.

Finally the eco-system for the other tools have come so far. Given how much the gap has closed, and how much farther the other tools are, the better ecosystems make them much better choices. Also as much as I respect Rich Harris, it's a tough sell against people the momentum of something like Facebook or even Evan You with vue and related tools like vite. I know he's working full-time on svelte now at vercel, but the corporate side of this as well as maintaining a community around this is another hurdle. Say wha t you will about react, nobody got fired for choosing it. On the other hand, it's a punch in the gut to jump on something like sapper and then have it be oddly deprecated/rolled into sveltekit.
I don't know of any blanket design that uses lithium hydroxide.
I've recently started working with Svelte and have been loving it compared to React. A lot of stuff flows through very intuitively.

However, for any front-end framework, the UI is paramount, and the most full-fledged component framework I found was Carbon Components[0].

I've heard rave reviews about Quasar[1] for Vue 3. Are there any equivalent UI component frameworks for Svelte?

This one happened to me too - except it was after the Uber asked me for my destination, and then didn't like it (I was going south from San Francisco, he wanted to stay in SF.)

Instead of just cancelling the ride, he reported me for being maskless in order to get a free cancellation that didn't hurt his driver profile. When I wrote Uber Support to explain I was wearing a mask (and had completed a mask-photo before I could request my next ride), they lectured me on mask-wearing and essentially accused me of lying. Note that I have a 4.9 star rating over 5,000+ Uber rides, so it's not like I'm an infrequent customer or repeat trouble maker.

Having worked for many different tech companies, the concept of 'cult companies' seems like a trend. Though I can't say for sure if this is only affecting the tech industry or all industries.

One of my ex-colleagues was hired straight out of university by a company and he did not take a single holiday in 4 years because his boss would always try to make him feel guilty or would imply that there would likely be negative consequences for him as an employee.

After he eventually quit and changed companies, he had very low expectations and he couldn't believe how much better that second company was... It was a startup so it wasn't exactly low-stress by my standards; it goes to show how extreme the differences can be between companies that even a job which I considered challenging seemed like a walk in the park to him given what he had experienced before.

Except for the standard products that only test the field strength, such as 15.247 or 15.231, the antenna report or antenna technical specification of antenna gain may not be provided.

Other FCC part 15C (e.g. 15.247...), FCC part 15D, 15E, etc. need to provide reports or technical specifications of the antenna, which contain information about the antenna gain, instead of accepting the antenna gain claimed by the customer.

Another thought: This whole ID requirement reminds me of the prohibition: If you will make unreasonable demands, you will just push people to do it anyways, but illegally.

One can see this on a large spectrum: taking away abortion, not selling alcohol, and lately forcing people to ID themselves for a measly Facebook profile - people will just resort to the black market to get these things anyway. This cat and mouse game is as old as time.
Thank you :) Sounds like a hell of an optimization problem, since there are not only many variables to model, but also many ((risk) allocation) decisions to make!

When a bank considers giving a loan, can it model where the money would/might be eventually transferred to - whether it would stay on the bank's books and thus require less liquidity to cover net outflows?

I have the impression that central banks try to model national economies via "flows between large groups of actors", do commercial banks analyze/simulate this too on a (smaller) scale, to find out how not only money flows between them and other banks, but within itself too? Since accurate models would result in more profitability, is it safe to assume that banks have the best economic "world model"?

When I buy groceries, I have no idea where the money ends up even in the next "step", maybe banks attempt full "network simulations"?

Regarding the cooperation/net flows, wouldn't a more "symmetric" banking system be able to create more credit? https://github.com/void4/notes/issues/73

Personally to me the best framework is no framework at all. Instead I use libraries of code and Web Components. The libraries are either my own or some existing ones. Overall writing web front end this way for me is the most natural way.

In my personal experience I spend less time creating the web front ends this way comparatively to when using "frameworks". No "compiling" is needed either, other then optional minimization.

Do you mean .value when writing a component that's some sort of form field? How do you refer to that value in Svelte components?

While this is an interesting factoid about money and can be useful in understanding some questions about money (eg, "what happens if my bank goes bankrupt") I'm not sure how helpful it actually is for gaining a clear understanding of how money works in practice. Trying to explain why a dollar bill is debt, for example, is not straightforward.

I guess different people think differently, but when I find myself tied in knots trying to think about interest rates, inflation and the banking system, I find it helpful to remember that money is an asset, and is subject to the same basic principles (eg, supply and demand) as any other asset. Of course, it's really just the other side of the same coin - money is an asset to one person and a liability to another.

But does not cargo bottom out at libraries like https://crates.io/crates/openssl-sys/0.9.75, where you do need addition (non-managed) dependencies? I would be surprised that the more "conservative" linux distros didn't have a complete, deduplicated and unvendored tree (only encountering issues around binary firmware and similar), whereas from my minimal rust knowledge, cargo's reqwest metadata is incomplete. It's the incompleteness I'm suggesting is a problem (I'm more familiar with Python and wheels, where there are substantial non-Python dependencies people forget about), not the number of dependencies (though that's not great either).

Utrecht was absolutely gorgeous. My fiance and I spent a few days in Amsterdam and I'm so glad we took a day to go out there and just walk around. Weather was trash (it was 2020 right before COVID started shutting things down) but even still one of my highlights from that trip.
This is true, but it's not my point.

My point is that there are very fast OSes which remain portable and have this sort of thing built in and integrated right into the kernel, such as Oberon and A2, or Plan 9, or Inferno.

So when you originally said:

«
... decouple the GUI from the OS (and the programs running on it) through multiple layers of abstraction, It was also designed to be ported to different CPU architectures, not for speed.
»

I think you are mixing up cause and effect, and trying to blame an accidental side-effect by making out that it's a core aspect of the design.

It's not that the Unix GUI layer is "decoupled" (as in, intentionally kept separate from) the kernel.

It wasn't. The kernel was designed without any thought of GUIs or consideration for them. There was no conscious layering or designing for portability here.

That's like saying... um... the new government after the French Revolution kept the railway system decoupled from government. It did not such thing. They had no conception or thought of railways; they're "decoupled" because one was bolted on a century later.

UNIX didn't decouple the GUI from networking, either. It never entered into the picture.

And yet, remember that the first lines of UNIX v1, long before C or anything, were written after Engelbart gave "the mother of all demos". This stuff _was_ happening, it was out there and it was on the radar.

Thompson and Richie realised their mistakes and they went on to fix them, in Plan 9, and then improve upon Plan 9 in Inferno.

But the Unix community had seized upon the older version by then and it wasn't AND STILL ISN'T interested in breaking what works in the interests of making it smaller, simpler, cleaner, faster and more efficient.
Your links seems to use string as a synonym of sequence. The linked crate is about strings which represent text, and many of them assume that the encoding is a superset of ASCII, and some ever assume it's potentially invalid UTF-8.

“It's such a shame how short-sighted profit motives ruin everything.”

Slightly off-topic, but this statement reminds me that it’s not just “profit motives”. I deal with third-party customer services (my clients work with third-party b2c who markets to customers, and my client fulfills the orders) a lot. Each company has a slightly different culture and structure. All have front line customer service for merchants, but it can take months to get through to higher levels of support—if at all.

Front line say yes yes yes but nothing is fixed or remedied. The only obvious recourse is to leave the platform.

Profit, yes. But also structure and roles of employees you are allowed to speak with who have no power for remedy, or incentive to be rational actors.
That doesn't mean the power density has to be high.
