I've done contract work for IKEA.

When talking to their senior engineers, a common trope was:

> I wouldn't know, I've only worked here for 5 years.

The sheer volume of new hierarchies replacing old ones, teams being split into other reams, rebranding of departments ...

I doubt any one person understands how IKEA works, let alone enough to be a source for others.

Perhaps they are projecting onto their customers here.
It is an interesting statistical fact that someone in their mid 90s is less than 50% likely to make it to 100. Quite different to say a 46 year old making it to 50. There's a real cliff beyond the 80s as frailty takes hold.

I saw the astroturfing as early as 2016. It blows my mind that people aren't more outspoken about the threat.

I even see people defend it "you really think a trillion dollar company is going to be advertising here?"

Yes duh? They are called reputation management companies, and they are contracted for plausible deniability.

I've seen it play out like this- a few well placed top level comments that defend a companies actions. Those are upvoted, anything contrary are downvoted.

You can see this when a thread is massively upvoted to a front page, that's something that a company can't really control. They don't have enough voting power. However inside the thread, people won't spend as much time upvoting and downvoting comments. This is where voting rings make the difference, controlling the narrative in the comments.

The companies with rabid fanbases are those that benefit most. If they can control the narrative, the fans will take the bait and run with it.

> Isn't that a good thing?

The two paragraphs after what I quoted address that, at least in passing.

> where UV photodegradation may clean it out

"May"?

The point is with the current system "Risk assessments for both sand and water samples at a majority of the sampling sites had a Risk Quotient > 1, indicating that these chemicals could pose a serious threat to beach zones and coral reef habitats."

The measured evidence is "Beach sands that are directly in the plume discharge of beach showers on three of the islands of Hawaii (Maui, Oahu, Hawai’i) were found to be contaminated with a wide array of petrochemical-based UV-filters that are found in sunscreens." (both quotes from https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03043... )

and "Oxybenzone ranged from 30 ng/L to 27,880 ng/L in near-shore waters in Hanauma Bay." - https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004565352...

It's not staying in the sand. It's not photodegrading fast enough.

For bonus points, it's not like photodegradation doesn't have it own issues. As one of the linked-to documents points out, at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00244-015-0227-7 , "Benzophenones, including BP-3, are documented mutagens that increase the rate of damage to DNA, especially when exposed to sunlight."
> While Svelte uses a (tiny) bit of custom syntax, React makes you bring in a ton of DSLs. Hooks, the component lifecycle, and all the third party libraries you will need to build a functional app require a lot more effort. People forget just how much stuff they had to learn.

I don't disagree with this, but people unfairly complain about it anyway, and it's another roadblock in the adoption process that makes it less exciting to fight for.

> and nested components hundred-levels deep, and you start noticing slowness, performance optimization is a gigantic effort.

That right there is the problem. The DOM is optimized for something like 32 levels of depth which is also the standard used for lighthouse scores. It's always possible to go over that, a little bit, but hundreds? At that point, it's not a question of svelte vs react, but really advanced dom (if even that) manipulation.

I wrote the comments about my father-in-law at the end of my workday yesterday, and I wanted to come back this morning and answer your question a little more directly. For us, we couldn't bear the thought of watching him waste away in a home and feel helpless to make him comfortable. The care received in those places is often sub-par and careless, at least in our area and for the budget we had available.

For us, having him in our home was better because we had the responsibility and opportunity to do our best to make him comfortable. It was also easier for our adult kids and their spouses to come over and visit him. The food was also much better, and many memories will live on of sitting around the dinner table together.

We also got the invaluable lessons on patience and self-sacrifice that come with caring for an older person. They're not fully aware of the burdens they are placing on you. They really do regress in many ways to being like children. We would often joke that it was like living with a toddler who wanted to also cook dinner.

We felt that we could provide a more comfortable environment in our home than anything we could afford in a care center. My youngest daughter still lives at home, and she also got many important lessons about patience, self-sacrifice, and love. And respect for our parents and grandparents who have already sacrificed so much for us. Taking care of them at the end of their lives is a small but important way of being able to show gratitude to them.

It's not an easy decision for anyone, and the challenges and struggles you face will be unique and unpredictable, but I have zero regrets and much gratitude for how our family has grown together as a result of all of us participating in the end of life care for my father-in-law.
And, of course, they're not stopping.

I've looked into this idea more and watched and read some additional content[1] about Neom. I encourage people to please ignore the marketing and read their words, instead. It will become very obvious what kind of a vision Neom's ownership has for us.

> To keep Neom safe, cameras, drones and facial-recognition technology will let Saudi intelligence services track everyone.

> MBS also wants Neom to host innovations like the “Apollo” project with Softbank, which will create “a new way of life from birth to death reaching genetic mutations to increase human strength and IQ.” Softbank declined to comment.

My interpretation is this is a merger of climate change religion as well as transhumanist ideals. The vast, vast majority of the world will never accept something like Neom even if its theoretical implementation is exactly like the actually-created-by-computer-graphics-artists marketing.

The great part about JSX is some random new framework doesn't need a VS Code plugin to get syntax highlighting, and type checking Just Works.

there is svelte-native based on Nativescript. it is similar fast or faster[1] and provides the ability to directly use every native function in JS without having to rely on new interfaces or build versions (e.g. you can directly access new APIs from JS). beeing able to use Svelte makes it sooo much easier to develop mobile apps.

These days in reactland, you can easily get app-wide state using useContext (which is much MUCH simpler to work with than Redux). It's just a global store (well, or you can limit it to a certain part of the tree) that any child or sibling can read/write to at will.

But just like you said, it can be a footgun if you're not careful.

With WASM you get the sandbox for free. This makes it safer for the service to provide arbitrary file uploads that get run on their platform without adding the overhead of virtualisation or containerisation.

Another thing WASM adds is cross language calling capabilities, i.e. calling Rust code from Go in a standard way. All methods are hidden behind a severely limited runtime interface so all have to comply with the respective standards.

This all comes at the cost of performance and efficiency just like on the regular "cloud".

Individually, you'll have a much easier time running your payload on bare metal, especially if you write code in a language that doesn't already compile to bytecode or gets interpreted and JIT'ed.

In a multi tenant system, the free sandbox means you'll have rather little work to safely run arbitrary payloads. If they can get enough customers, they'll be able to provide services cheaper by leveraging their economy of scale and low cost security mechanisms.
> If you know how to differentiate between those types, or have friends who are of those types, it's going to be hard not to make a close guess.

But it's still a guess. You don't actually know.

But it's irrelevant in a sense. As you say, there are so few types that it's not hard to make a better-than-chance guess for pretty much anybody you meet. As a job applicant, this is no different than what I expect -- the interviewer is going to be making a subjective assessment of me and how well I would fit into the team.

I wouldn't ever take an actual personality test for employment, though, because a company's willingness to engage in straight-up psuedoscience as a factor in making important decisions tells me something important, and unflattering, about that company.

Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite 2.0 [pdf]
I think that would be an interesting API design to explore, absolutely. I think you'll have a lot of issues making it fast though. There is a fair bit of SIMD going on under the hoods in both the substring routines and the UTF-8 validation routines, for example. Building APIs based around iterator adapters that munch one byte at a time are difficult to square with SIMD optimizations that want to operate on a whole bunch of bytes at a time.

Consider, for example, how you might use a routine like memchr[1] if all of your public APIs are generic iterator adapters.

And then once you get into things like regex engines, modifying them to work on Iterator<Item=u8> is a highly non-trivial affair. It is of course possible to write a regex engine that works on such things, but it's going to be limited in performance or capabilities. The way to make regexes and streaming work together is probably something more like Iterator<Item=&[u8]> (which is perhaps roughly analogous to what Hyperscan does). You really want blocks of bytes, not one-byte-at-a-time.

Carriers in the US are basically required to route 911 calls, even for devices not on their network - I wonder if that’ll include T-Mobile’s/Starlink announcement (since they’re going to be using existing 5G spectrum, I would presume so) - if I’m out in the wilderness and I experience an emergency, in theory, 911 should just work for me, piggybacking off a Starlink satellite, even if I’m a Verizon or AT&T or whatever subscriber - if that’s the case, I don’t see the need for all of these competing Emergency SOS via Satellite offerings.

UTF-8 by definition is a sequence of u8's, what would you like it to be generic over, and how would that help anyone!?
Huh, that’s a pretty good point I never thought about. It’s not relevant to me personally, but having such a standard is certainly helpful.
You could say the first X bits of signal from the start of the communication to the point where you can realize what is being said and can predict the rest with certainty represent the informative part of the message; that is, the less you expected them to say the thing they’re saying in that context, the more information is transmitted.

Same reaction. This stuff is catnip for curmudgeons.
Where is this mentioned?
This is my experience as well (in a similar situation to you). I also found Svelte far easier to grok, as someone who is generally not a web developer, than alternatives. Not having to bundle a huge runtime and deal with all the virtual DOM cruft is a nice bonus for performance, but the reality is that it's probably not a measurable difference for anything I'm doing on the front end.
I think it's a clever idea but this is the kind of thing that incentivizes companies to manipulate them (like Google and SEO). If everyone knows about the "just add Reddit trick", it will eventually stop working.
That can work relatively well for projects where there are a handful of engineers, but I wonder whether it doesn’t be some much harder as your team grows to 20+ engineers working in the same UI code base?

First of all - I hope the Queen goes back to good health. Seems to have been a good monarch over an extremely long period of time, which also included a ton of technological and societal change.

Second - "London Bridge is down". I can't help but wonder what happens if the actual, physical London Bridge experiences a catastrophic failure falls to the river. What's the codename for that event? "Escape London Bridge is down"? "London Bridge is down, literally, for real, no, I mean it"? "The Queen has climbed to the roof"?
Does using a debugger help? (like in VScode or IntelliJ). The React stack trace is so useless I find myself just stepping through the code and setting breakpoints when I need to actually locate the source of an issue.

For “users” yeah, they’re basically the internet.

If you don’t have your own ASN you’re just renting someone else’s access, so there’s an easy answer - they control your access and could cut it off if they wanted.
> but have you considered that React and Vue in fact also have custom non-JS syntax?

I 100% agree, and I never fully got this argument. But my God do people love to repeat it. So much of react's initial fervor was around "it's just javascript". I write a lot of vue code and I only use like half a dozen directives and learning all of them should take less than one afternoon. And yet, the number of people that don't like vue because of a very simple DSL has been staggering.

It really doesn't make sense to me, but people seem to really hate learning something that superficially looks different.
I guess some very competent and neutral scientists will have a look and will be able to say if it is worth it.

"Introducing"? Hasn't Svelte existed for a couple of years already? I remember a speaker talking about it on a conference some time before Covid hit.

Still, it's a great article that does a good job of showing how easy Svelte is. I think it looks most like Vue, but simpler, with even less boilerplate.

Of course keeping everything so simple does make me wonder how it would deal with more complex situations where you really do need a lot more structure.
