Thank you for explaining your position! Which internet companies do you currently donate to that also publishes exactly what they spend their money on, so you can make sure they don't spend similar amount on similar initiatives?

In my experience, the Wikimedia Foundation seems to be the one who is most transparent about where funds go, while organizations like Internet Archive doesn't make a lot of data public, at least via their own website.
You could take the existence of really large provider variability in therapists as some evidence that social/emotional intelligence exists.

The language select button is at the top-right of the screen, beside the magnifying glass/search icon. It wasn’t immediately obvious to me, but it’s a Latin letter “G” next to what looks like a hiragana character.

It’s not a great icon, but I don’t know if there even is a good “language select” icon or symbol that is easily recognisable across all languages and scripts

I am pretty certain that the only reason why BFF were invented is for security in mobile and SPA applications, to securely deal with OAuth tokens.

If you don’t need that don’t use a BFF, keep things simple. Start by not building a SPA when it can be a classic server client web app. I feel like most of the web should just be that.

I’m winding down my reliance on subscription based services. There’s been a noticeable shift in the world when it comes to ownership; specifically the media and housing market space. Perpetual renting seems to be the way of the future. While I have my own opinions on that, I think it’s important to (at the very least) own your media library. Not only does it benefit artists and studios more, you will not be subject to any drama. Streaming has done good things for the industry, but I think we’ve swung too far.

With that said, I own stacks blu rays and CD’s that can easily be imported into my NAS and then attached to servies like Plex[1] or Navidrome[2]. I can even share those libraries with friends and family which is an added bonus. Navidrome also exposes a subsonic api that clients can connect to. PlexAmp can also import your music library.

With the exception of Plex, I think we’re entering a golden age of open source software to allow this type of thing. Setting up these services is fairly straightforward and maintenance is also pretty easy.

Pure bliss.

This seems like a fairly predictable response at this point. The West has managed to pour enough weapons into the Ukraine that I gather Russia is being pressured. So the escalation spiral continues to wind up.

This continues to be very scary. The West's strategy here is stupid to the point where full scale mobilisation and war in Europe seems possible. This could have just been an Iraq 2.0.
>It's why Americans live the highest standard of living in the world.

Some Americans*, and far fewer than those that have some of the lowest standards of living in the world. And the US has greater wealth disparity than many other countries with living standards many would argue are at least equal.

Altruism isnt necessary, education is. Education teaches people that the best way to prevent the most harmful acts in society is to make sure peoples needs are met, which capitalism and the free market routinely fails at.
This is why US has worse crime than other developed nations even accounting for population, you fail to meet your citizens needs within the system so they do it themselves outside of it.

Yes, telling spam (spam blogs, copy-pasted versions of Stackoverflow, etc) from real organic content is easy for a human, so I can only assume it would be pretty easy for a computer too. At least until this becomes a practice that spam site makers have to consider and adapt.

For example, given 10 similar articles where one has a well-known domain but few links and the others are all cross-linked only among a known spam-net, then just show the well known page (stackoverflow) and not the useless copycats.

It seems doable for a computer to also navigate the page like a human and try to negotiate various cookiewalls and similar. If a page requires jumping through hoops to enter, rank it poorly. There should be a single decline/reject if there is a button at all, and the content ranked should be the content shown after rejecting. If it shows two buttons "Accept" and "Options" then just don't index that page.

They mean Brendan Eich.

He was appointed Mozilla's CEO. There was then some public discussion about his political donations (Brendan donated money to a campaign trying to prevent gay people from marrying because of their gender) and whether they were relevant to this position. After a couple of weeks he stepped down as Mozilla's CEO.

His Wikipedia article has more details — if you just can't get enough real-time “people shouting at each other” and you want to add some historical “people shouting at each other” to bulk it out a bit.

> they're unusable without the less sexy stuff.

Absolutely correct. I’m big on infrastructure. Infrastructure is not “shiny,” at all, most times, but it’s the glue that holds the whole shooting match together.

My designs often begin with infrastructure, but I’ve learned to architect flexible structure, as it usually needs to adapt to changing requirements from the frontend, as the project progresses.

In fact, I’m actually doing exactly that, with a backend connector layer, in my current project, right now.

The connector SDK (and backend server) is suffering performance issues, which degrades the user experience to an unacceptable level. Nasty time to encounter this, as the project is quite mature.

The current connector is really not something that can be easily adapted or fixed (I wrote it about six or seven years ago, as a generic SDK, for the backend server, which I also wrote). It needs a rewrite —usually a “death sentence,” this late in the project. I had to think long and hard, before making the decision to do this. If this weren’t a “Front of the Box” feature, it wouldn’t even be a consideration.

Because I always approach these types of projects in a loosely-coupled, “layered” fashion, it makes it easier to “swap out” parts.

Each layer tends to take the shape of a standalone “module,” with a clear, unambiguous, functional domain and API, along with its own testing, documentation, and project lifecycle. They usually take the form of discrete GitHub repos, and SPM packages. That is the case for the current connector, and will be the case for the new one (I already have it set up).

I expect the rewrite to take a few weeks. I’ll probably have the main coding of the SDK done, in a couple of weeks, but adapting the application to the new SDK, and fixing the inevitable swarm of bugs, will take a lot longer.

But it’s quite doable. It will work (I’ve done exactly this kind of thing, many times, before), and the final product will have a greatly-improved “killer feature,” as a result.

So I guess the TL;DR of that mess, is that the architecture, itself, needs to be planned in a way that affords reacting to unexpected stressors.
For sure. I am no TypeScript expert, and for the most part I don't really need to be... most of our types are pretty straightforward, arrays of strings and such.

Learning is great, but this job, like many others, doesn't really have a well-defined system for training, documentation, professional development, or anything like that. Either I learn on the job as it happens or I don't learn at all. There's always too much to build, with constantly shifting priorities defined and redefined by higher-ups who don't know or care what TypeScript is. Sure, I can push back on that to some degree and beg for a resource or two, but even that is difficult, and there's always so much else that's even more pressing to learn. And web dev by its nature is a broad and shallow career anyway, especially on the frontend... by the time you begin to master something, it's already obsolete lol.

TypeScript looks like it'll have some staying power, so I'm happy to learn it as I go. But over time, I've learned to stop chasing perfection and to just go for "Will this survive long enough until the rewrite in a year or two? If so, good enough...". I've never known a job like this where code survives longer than 2 or 3 years before someone, either a dev or a manager, wants to rewrite it from scratch.

A lot of our existing codebase was written by contractors who had a lot of experience, but little desire to document anything or comment anywhere. Our current generation of (relatively junior) devs inherited that, has trouble with a lot of it, and ends up rewriting large overengineered swaths in simpler patterns as we go. A complete rewrite is already planned. And so the cycle continues :)

In general, the barrier to entry for JS/web dev is pretty low, and so there are a lot of low-to-med skilled devs like me in the industry. I think, philosophically, I lean against writing code that is overly "clever" rather than readable. Similarly with types. If a typing becomes complex enough that it's not really readable, I'd rather just leave a clear comment as to what the intent is and then move on, knowing that the code itself -- much less its typing -- is unlikely to survive long anyway. At the end of the day, IMO, it doesn't make sense to have types that are more complicated than the code itself... if correctness is important but the typing is complicated, I try to break down the code itself, add comments, add unit tests, add documentation, etc. rather than try to coerce TypeScript into sentience.

Is that the most "correct" way? Probably not. But it sure makes things easier to read in PRs rather than telling everyone, "Well, you need to learn advanced TypeScript if you want to read my contribs."
I actually printed out a sheet with the numbers for each icon position and stuck it on the monitor.

I find it inspiring to see how a interpreter that outlives me has such passionate and skilled contributors keeping it alive or rather, rejuvenating it with new life. Also impressed by the notion that someone could obtain such a strong command of, what I would consider, a somewhat "intimidating" codebase to own.

I disagree with your premise. As a generalist, I have held some pretty interesting jobs over the past almost 20 years. What you know isn't what matters. How you decide to leverage your knowledge is where you make a difference.

As a generalist, I found the ability to zoom out to the bigger picture and connect dots to be invaluable. More then anything else, learning to communicate is paramount.

That doesn't detract from what a specialist with deep technical expertise does. I know some who are great communicators as well. It's just that discussions happen on a different plane.
I’d add:

- write an effective contract and be able to tell if one that someone hands you is reasonable
- be able to explain to people you feel some responsibility towards how to install and operate a VPN
- have a grip on basic statistics and economics
- cook a tasty meal from grains, legumes, vegetables and/or fungi
Or just get rid of the lawn, beef, the 'great room', and 95% of cars (and keep the rest for 30 years). Then make the electronics last at least 5 years, and you're well past target.

> While familiarity with your stack is great for cross-cutting concerns, mastery is what truly builds great software, not to mention in a timely manner.

Ion drives are an excellent way to make very little reaction mass go a long way. While something like this could do that, for very high energy particles you rapidly get relativistic effects, and the ultimate relativistic effect — zero reaction mass having finite momentum — is from using light. This can be as simple as a warm bit of the vehicle[0], but if that heat energy comes from solar then you might as well make it even simpler by replacing the PV with a mirror and suddenly your space ship is propelled by a solar sail.

But you could use this if you really wanted.
