This has changed. I just replied to a 5 year old post of mine to confirm.
In my mind, young male have a lot of hormones that make them compete and it shows. There seems to be clear behavioral change in the average programmer as they age. Later in life (oftentimes with family), they do not have biological set-up to code 14 hours a day whole year as they did before.

Obviously, outcoding everybody else is sometimes considered as a value and other times it is not. Shrug.

I just found it, so not the creator, but the first sub-heading and first sentence say:

Help and how to paticipate

There will be link to a live webpage there right before the event! (TBA)

Also on the main page it mentions XMPP and Matrix.

Hope that's what you meant?
No, it won't. Web is an ever changing platform, with a lot of churn.

The most long lived framework currently is emberjs. But it is not the hottest, so you won't find it discussed much. The most "future proof" framework is "React" which is the one mentioned in Original article.

It goes without saying but React is the cause of a lot of churn in js ecosystem, particularly due to its "no-battery included" approach.

## what about other popular frameworks?

Other popular frameworks are angular and Vue.

Angular has gone through such a major shift between angular 1 and angular 2, that angular 2 should have been renamed.

That being said Angular2+ is also going through a paradigm shift (albeit in right direction this time)

The other popular framework is Vue. Vue's templates have has gone through minor changes. And it has gone through a major change (vue 2 to vue3) recently. It is unlikely that another such large rewrite will happen for next 3-4 years. But after that, who knows?

The only option here is to refresh your skills regularly every 2-3 years

I don't see that as being a distinction but more Russia just rattling the nuclear sabre.

They have been doing it since the start of the war and do it about every single large shipment of weapons to Ukraine.

I suspect its mostly for a internal audience but also to make the west scared to send weapons which clearly hasn't worked.

What I mean regarding Reddit is that you couldn’t have a thread running for 13 years like that, which you could easily follow (track up to which comment you’ve already read) and conveniently browse like on a forum. Pagination is important for that.

On web forums, a new comment on a thread automatically bumps that thread up to the top of the thread list, which means that even after a pause, existing threads gain traction like if they were new threads. (Possibly even more than new threads, due to the existing contents.) That way it’s easy to have a focused discussion for weeks/months/years on a particular subtopic.

Frankly it makes code worse a lot of the time, that's been my experience anyway. It's probably necessary if you adhere to not using goto and need cleanup code in a function, but otherwise I've seen code trying to adhere to one exit point create bugs. Linux coding standards are the pragmatic choice, use cleanup goto's. They're idiomatic, clear, safe, easy when done right.
Back when the Impossible Burger first came out, there was quite a bit of interest in vegetarian circles. That interest turned sour very quickly as the sustainability of their process was investigated. This was about 2 years ago? Today the vegetarians I know have entirely moved on and the idea of plant based meats is just yet another meat culture noise to be ignored.
No need to pretend anything to want lots of flavor and texture options.
If you enjoy reading, I would recommend reading books in English and referring to an English to <your native language> dictionary to build your vocabulary. Not only will this teach yourself more words to choose from, it will also promote a more natural flow in speaking and writing.

Thanks to those who share their crazy experience.
The two frameworks take completely different approaches to solving similar problems, so each comes with huge trade-offs compared with the other.

In a sense, the Svelte framework runs at compile-time -- it takes your application source code, and uses its framework to produce a minimal JavaScript bundle that you ship to your end users.

In contrast, the React framework runs at run-time -- you ship React along with your application to the end user, and they boot it all up and run it there.

So, in terms of benefits, Svelte will be smaller and will likely run faster. As a bonus, it's much easier to learn.

For downsides, Svelte can be harder to debug, and the community is smaller. But that said, React is a hot mess with so many ways to do all the things because all the existing ways are terrible and so then people make even more new ways again...
Can you give an example of a feature that's so different or missing in Firefox devtools?

The only differences that come to my mind are super minor (chrome logging 400er requests to console, Firefox having more advanced grid/flex debugging. I'm kinda interested if I'm missing a super obvious feature that's commonly used.

Mitsubishi, specifically, makes a heat pump with the marketing vernacular, "H2i" or "hyper heat" which has reasonable efficiency down to -13F/-25C.
The triangles are in 3D space. Part of what the cards do is project them into 2D space. See pp. 18-20 of the Glide reference: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=18...
I would assume any refrigerant in use in air conditioning works just fine, based on heat pumps being air conditioners ruining in reverse
No, teaching react is the opposite. When one is invested in the hammer all they see is nails type of analogy at play here. I personally dont do UI stuff and don’t know who is responsible for what I notice as a utter mess in UI, across the board not only on the web.

GraphQL isn't a web framework though.

I wonder if GraphQL is destined for the same type of evolution; React was a revelation compared to what came before, hugely popular, with a heavy client library and runtime costs. I see some of those in GraphQL

The new wave of svelte and quik etc are faster and lighter, by pre-compiling or rethinking how and when the work is performed
Phew where do I begin?

From a sustainability POV, using living beings for milk production is vastly worse than a plant based alternative.

From a animal friendliness perspective, it abuses the same animals that would be slaughtered for meat, for long periods of time in cruel ways.

From a business and consumer POV, this limits your burger to only Omni and vegetarians, excluding the entire market of vegans, and people with dairy intolerances who would opt for this option instead.

All around a PR inspired, stupid half measure that is insulting at best.
It is not. The point is to manipulate prices in times when it is beneficial to us. It is a buffer.

Looked at that too, but since unless I am missing something, that appears to be in the captain’s cabin based on linked document from the parent of this comment thread; which means it would not only be hard to access, but once placed, very likely be hard to recover and would have been checked too, likely even in flight while the audio continued to be heard.

> When a dictatorship with nukes attacks a country without a nuclear umbrella, if too much resistance is encountered, nukes will probably be used (maybe "small" tactical nukes at first). Ukraine army is now millions being weaponized from all over the world and started to really resist. If that becomes too much for the army of putin's regime, we all know what will happen.

If Russia even blinks at a nuke in Ukraine they will lose the war and likely also collapse within a small number of years.

The Americans have made it clear that any use of a nuke in Ukraine will be met with overwhelming force, and realistically they have to follow through.

If someone doesn't respond then any nuclear country (of which there are many) can now just nuke someone when they don't get their way, throwing a tantrum like a child.

> Creating ways for people to interact and control a computer by writing but who don’t need to know about deploying to production, scaling databases, managing memory resources, etc, seems like a good division of labor.

I guess it depends on the domain and the lines along which you want to divide your project along. If someone can write back end code but doesn't really know that much about databases, you might end up with an application that does hundreds of database queries just to display one application view or prepare a REST query response.

If someone counts as a full stack developer but ends up producing a singleton app that cannot scale to more than one instance (e.g. stores important data in application memory, even things like user sessions), then you also probably have a bit of a problem on your hands.

If someone counts as a DevOps engineer but doesn't think too much about security, you might end up with a database instance that's publicly available, increasing the attack surface of your system a whole lot.

You can have a division of technical and non-technical folks, you can have a division between the different types of technical folks, but you absolutely do need at least someone who can wear all of the different hats (e.g. partake in a particular role) out there, in addition to them being present at the correct time to bring up things that are actually (or should be) blockers, which would otherwise get overlooked and would result in a horrendous implementation.
Yes, I believe that's essentially his thesis, at least with respect to aptitude, based on my discussion with him in a sister thread.

He's apparently referring to the MCAT and LSAT, which serve as entrance examinations for medical and law schools respectively.

Similarly the SAT, which is the undergraduate entrance examination used by many schools, is a very good predictor for score on an actual IQ test. So much so that one can conflate the two without really being very wrong.

As a vegetarian, I agree that most of these meatless burgers are somewhere between vile and mediocre.

The only one I've enjoyed so far is Linda McCartney's Vegetarian Mozzarella Burger. Grill it for 10-15 minutes or so, adding a slice of extra mature cheddar on top when it's nearly done, then serve in a buttered brioche bun with a sprinkle of salt and pepper on the cheese. It's surprisingly delicious.

Besides, there are plenty of alternatives to meat that aren't trying to be meat-like: tofu, seitan, cheeses with high melting points such as halloumi and paneer. Better to enjoy these, than be disappointed with products that attempt mimic the taste and mouthful of flesh.
I"m not sure that the common idea is that younger programmers are more skilled, but rather that they are more in demand. Could be for a variety of reasons, for example:

- cheaper

- less jaded

- easier to "manage"

- more willing to do the boring work that the older devs don't want to do

- more likely to be on call or work extra hours

- less likely to retire next year
And I assume then that Idaho, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Oregon, and Canada all also had governors to blame for their record-setting wildfires during the same period?

What Is “Nothing”?
> rasterization, i.e. painting 2D triangles

As I explained in a sister comment, there's a lot more going on with rasterization, even back then, than "painting 2D triangles" might imply. Yes, only the XY coordinates determine the screen location of a rendered pixel, but the Z coordinate even at that stage has a lot to do with its color (e.g. for perspective-correct texture lookup) and whether it is painted at all (Z buffering).
Drunk driving kills too. The intent here is that small-time drug dealing, like drunk driving, is something easy to slip into—especially if you are an addict yourself and in debt. Of course the bigger dealers should get worse.

How I Collect My Wordle Data
ARPANET was basically military and educational, and was pre-web. I remember using a 300 baud acoustic coupler to dial into a university computer c.1980; there really wasn't a whole lot you could do with it back then - just simple text-based stuff like telnet (remote login) and command-line based e-mail (SMTP) as well as FTP. Even things like IRC, Usenet, Archie, Gopher all came later.

While the commercial internet, allowing companies and consumers to connect, grew out of ARPANET, it obviously was commercially funded, with backbones built out by the telecoms, etc. I think for most people today the term "internet" is essentially synonymous with "web" - stuff they can do in their browser, which of course came a lot later. HTML and HTTP were only invented c.1990, and this was the beginning of the internet as people today know it. Even then, a lot of people only saw the internet as filtered through AOL.
The SPR was set up as an emergency reserve. Not to manipulate the market price, which is only a temporary reprieve anyway. As soon as its exhausted and the supply issue is not addressed, we will likely be in the same boat as before without the cushion in case of a true national security emergency.

There’s a universe of tools that aim to provide simpler abstractions over infra as code these days. One of them is provided by my company, withcoherence.com. While many of the advantages such as automated per branch ephemeral environments, accrue to teams, solo builders in some ways get more leverage from infra abstractions that let them focus on their own application.

there are plenty of services taking a cut from people trying to use this

multisender.app - pay/airdrop multiple people, thats it.

team.finance - broadcast to your community that you locked your tokens, instead of just saying so.

they solve a problem, they collect a cut from volume of transactions, they aren’t sitting in business development meetings around San Francisco because that’s reserved for grifters

so its easy to see how OP missed that
Same with Toyota. The LKAS is utter garbage, does not work on normal roads, and I find it distracting/dangerous to use. This is regarding TSS 2.0, I know there's a 2.5 and I think 3.0 just released but I don't believe the overarching issues have been fixed. I tried park assist only once and it hit a curb...

However, the collision avoidance is excellent. It works great, never had unwanted breaking, it assists breaking in emergency, and the rear cross traffic frequently senses incoming cars we can't see.
So you're 100% for adding 3% of seaweed to cow's diets for an 80%+ reduction, or assuming that ~5% of reductions from livestock (from the chart on the URL you shared) are mostly from cows, bringing that 5% of total global emissions from cows down to just 1%?

And then buying meat, from producers who use seaweed in their diets, will accelerate the adoption of that practice as the benefits economies of scale occur - bringing down the price of quality and very low emissions beef; and more money available for other goods or to invest in green energy, as plant-based are more expensive overall.

That's a win-win-win scenario/strategy, no?
How many incidents have human driven cars had in the same time period? I know the scale is different, but 3 is a pretty low number for the number of hours they’ve racked up.

Because humans are not perfectly consistent robots.

For myself, I have Emacs configured to autosave whenever I change focus or documents. I also commit and push whenever I make a meaningful step of progress.

For normals, built-in macOS apps like TextEdit have autosave these years. Pair that with Time Machine and an SMB NAS (see https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202784), and data loss is pretty darned rare in practice.

If the NAS has a cloud backup system, you'd really have to try to lose data.

Indeed. In my experience, even if you don't use any other cloud service, do yourself a favour, and use S3 + Cloudfront (or equivalent) for static / uploaded files. Then, if and when you need to scale your web tier horizontally, you've solved what probably would have been your main blocker.

Plus, as mentioned, there's your backups sorted. Plus, you'll never have to worry about running out of disk space. Plus, you're taking load off your web tier, for something it really doesn't need to handle itself. Plus, massive performance boost on serving those assets over a CDN. Plus, it's really cheap, most likely a fraction of the cost of your VPS(es) or dedicated box(es).
Incorrect. Try a quality brand like Mitsubishi or Thermia.
I've moved out of coding every day at work because I've gotten 'too senior' but my goal is to move jobs to get back into it and probably spend at least the next 5 years coding. What I do now is so high level that I can't see myself doing it for the next 25 years.

That will bring me close enough to 40. I don't really see me stopping coding then.
