> Now, that does not work in TS because they adamantly refuse to modify any of the emitted JavaScript code at all, with no clear explanation except that it’s long-standing policy. Instead they expect you to import “foo.js” in TypeScript, even though that file doesn’t exist until after compilation. That’s a problem, and it seems like it’s caused by the TS team, not Node.

I think they should provide a better explainer. But node.js resolution algorithms is already incredibly complicated, and adding path rewriting to typescript is not going to make it better. There are things like dynamic import and third part libraries. Typescript would need to either analyze whole of project node_modules or bundle custom runtime resolver like webpack breaking compact with deno and friends.

Imagine situation:

import lib from 'somelib/subpath'

How TS would know that some lib have extension in subpath and it need to add/remove js ext? https://nodejs.org/api/packages.html#extensions-in-subpaths
What if typescript is running in deno/bum or wasm?

> Hmm, what is it that Node is doing that’s so bad? I don’t understand why that issue is a big problem.

My conclusion is that successful projects without BDFL are prone to corporate takeovers. You have people that working in corporations without writing code and want to make political career as "core" team member of project.

Using Brave I am somehow able to read it without being blocked. I assume it's blocking cookies/tracking, but that's an option.
That's a great way to get a class full of front-line gentrifier families whose breadwinners are academics, journalists, artists, nonprofit staffers, political aides, social workers, etc.

Class is not income, and finding the highest-performing kids from lower-earning families and neighborhoods is an almost perfect strategy for demonstrating the gaps. Of course that's my own background, so I'd take it!

golang has exceptions (panics).

I've worked on large golang projects. Linking takes a very long amount of time. Languages like Java or C# have a much faster compile then run unit test cycle. Even full compilation, it's hard to prove that golang is faster in any significant manner, and could very well be slower.
Not only this, but, critically, there is now an entire *industry* devoted to preventing cloud-provider lock-in. You can't throw a penny into an SF crowd without hitting someone working on this.

Because capitalism is efficient, and because there are lots of dollars chasing the Lock-in Problem, and moreover because AWS is the market leader, it has an enormous amount to lose. Even if 0.5% of the aforementioned startups succeed in reducing dollars lost to lock-in by (say) 10%, on average, that's billions that AWS stands to lose. (By my armchair math)

The market prices these risks in.
The goal of whom? Please don't vaguely hand wave about the .1%.

Who specifically with means has had this goal? Because without any kind of evidence or idea of who is doing it, it just sounds like a conspiracy theory.

I ask because whenever I see instances of the ultra rich trying to control the narrative, it always comes off as obvious and ham fisted. The obvious rebuttal is "well you don't see when they succeed", but I don't think they would torpedo a cause they believe in in order for other causes to be successful. Unless they are truly playing 4d chess.

I'm sure it is complicated.

But these effects are well studied and I'm sure these institutions have plenty of sociologists that could help come up with some models that work at least as good as stereotyping based on skin color.

The idea that generalizing based on race is just easier leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Why do we tell racists that they shouldn't prejudge people based on race at the same time that people with good intentions do the same thing?

Income. It's widely available and often already submitted for scholarships. To say income===class is a generality but it's pretty close.
Do you mean "western" as in "Western USA" or as in "the West, i.e USA, Europe etc" ?

Food production independence absolutely makes sense. Growing food in a desert based on ignorant and overblown ideas from the 1940s about the impact of damming a couple of rivers and distributing the water ... probably not so much.
I mean, it basically boils down to money. Set prices high enough and you get those who can afford it. And if you've always been elitest, then alumni admissions will all be upper class as well.
No, there are certainly times where the media reporting is “top-down”. This latest recession has produced some strange reporting around justifying raising fed rates to cause unemployment to reduce inflation, for example.

A more historical example would be on the early days of the 2nd Gulf War and the war drums beating for Iran perhaps a year later (that never materialized into a war)
In the racial representation of billionaires? What exactly is the dog whistle?
I really like his two rules. They are much simpler than the usual collection of process and product definitions that usually come up.

Of course, elaborating in further detail is essential.

Of course, the contrarian position includes the fact that true system engineering organizations are actually publishing houses, producing hundreds or thousands of formalized documents. The actual systems created are byproducts. /s
> C++ is famous for being bloated.

No, it isn't. If anything, it's famous for its spartan standard library. It only received smart pointers in C++11 and a file system library in C++17.

> It desperately needs to be able to remove stuff but it can't because of its desire to maintain ABI compatibility with binaries compiled on older versions.

This is outright wrong. Some standards already deprecate and remove features, like std::auto_ptr going away in C++17 or volatile in C++20.

You're trying to pass off too many baseless assertions as undisputed facts.
I wonder how this analogy might play out for a country that is more homogeneous, such as Japan, China, etc. I know there’s cultural discrimination, caste systems and so forth, but is there a race problem there?
yeah, as I was running, I was wondering if I'd misremembered.

Still, this does handle the supposed problem of aging Boomers being stuck in their houses because of Prop. 13.
Success is mostly class. US has a below average social mobility by international standards. https://www.oecd.org/els/soc/1-5%20generations.png
There are some data regarding worse outcomes for children (especially boys) of wealthy black families, compared to poorer white families.

For example, they are more likely to go to jail. [1] I believe there may be similar data regarding income/wealth outcomes as well, but the best I could find quickly relates to middle class black families, not wealthy ones. [2]

Of course, this doesn't mean the families are worse off overall, but it does tend to indicate that there are some things working against black families, even middle- and upper-class ones.

I have stopped buying books from Amazon unless I really have to because of the counterfeit problem, and sellers canceling orders then upping the price.

So I try to buy books from thenile or eBay instead.
An alternative explanation of decreasing class mobility is simply that an extended period of relatively high class mobility has left most people presorted into the class they belong in.
It’s not ‘society’ that’s focused on race, it’s advantage-seeking politicians and journalists who live in a bubble that are.

Race virtually never comes up in daily life for the rest of us…
Yes I have :-) I'm German and once lived near one proposed track, meant as an upgrade to an already existing, heavily used main track, planned with many stops over short distances.

Edit: Maybe they could use this to overbuild their already existing net with a dozen to two dozen strategically located stations, as an overlay of hyperhubs, and use the interconnections to conventional HSR as spokes which branch off of these.

To make it even more competitive to air travel, especially for longer distances.

The political parties use race because it divides people. They don't use class because they don't want what happened to the French Aristocracy to happen to them; they'd rather have the proletariat fight amongst themselves than to target the "real problem."

In the US rich black people, hispanics, and asians are just like rich white people...but with different decor.

Actually I prefer rich white people, because they do care about the aesthetics of the public arena. Public service etc isn't just lip service for many of them. The whole of Western Europe and the wealthy enclaves (and high-end suburbs) of America are a testament to that aesthetic. That ideal, as shown by Currier & Ives and Rockwell, are the world as it should be.

In Asia and Africa the rich are literally walled in, probably because they're always aware of the threat of violence towards them.
The rich and powerful, who are able to make it about race and not about money and power.
Is there any evidence that there was some sort of orchestrated effort to have a sudden change in rhetoric?

Or are these graphs just reflecting the rise of the social justice movement, which the news would obviously report on?

Basically this doesn't really tell us anything about cause and effect.
Part of the American dream is that the feeling that there is no rigid social class. Everyone is a millionaire down on their luck. You only need to work harder or be more clever—ideally both.

To some extent, it is true. Realistically, however, it is rare to move more than one or two income brackets from where your parents were when they were your age.

Race in America, however, is fraught. The history of racism is recent, overt, and systemic. It is impossible to deny the history of racism unless you are an idiot. The question is what, if anything, can be done about it that actually improves things. The answer is probably very little. Affirmative action is problematic and has some negative side effects, but it has probably been a net positive for society. It will also probably be struck down as it is now negatively and unfairly impacting another minority group.

>I didn't think the article author was "pretending they're so surprised"

it's not as dramatic as feigning surprise, but the mere act of choosing a specific topic to report on makes known the ideas of what a specific journo may think the public will find intriguing.

in other words, "Water is Wet." gets no viewership, but "5 Ways You May Not Know How Water Can Kill" does get views -- likewise when a journalist has a topic like "Why X is Y", we (the reader) can presume that the work holds some novelty other than stating the obvious.

'pretending to be surprised' comes from the premise that class is such an obvious distinction in the United States that stating such is about obvious as stating 'Water is Wet.'
I agree. Let me give you another example of privilege -- being able-bodied. It doesn't seem like a privilege, because there are still obstacles you must overcome, but it's just one less obstacle.

IMO, the only thing that makes "white privilege" somewhat interesting, is the extent to which the country made laws and regulations around race. If it were merely tribal preferences of liking people who were genetically closer to you, I'd view it more like being tall as a privilege. But the fact that we used the government and other legal instruments to prop one above the other gives me a certain level of discomfort that I don't have with all the other forms of privilege that exist.
If they offer IMAP, they would also need to decrypt your data on their side, which I'm happy they go to lenghts to avoid.

This is a case of Proton sacrificing convenience for privacy. If the former is more important for you than the latter, there are better alternatives out there.
A search for 'amazon inventory commingling' brings up a bunch of articles about it; apparently it's something that you can turn on or off in your seller account. One of the articles specifically noted that if you choose to do this, and you request your items returned, you will just get that number of items from the shared inventory, which will probably include items of the same type from other sellers.
The crazy thing is that there are many fixes for the housing situation that require no spending at all. Just allow construction of housing and it will get built without spending.
Word of mouth. Of course spreading the word of new products and services would take a lot of time so some businesses won't be able to spend a lot of money and bootstrap to millions of customers in a few months. Everything would be slower but it will function.
You're comparing a fully fledged framework to a language, so not apples to apples comparison. At an employer that heavily used golang, they had to reinvent frameworks (dependency injection, web app, RPC, etc.) to standardize how work was being done, and guess what, you ended up having huge stack traces anyway that some people mock ASP.NET or Spring for, not to mention very slow build times. Modifying small parts of code and rebuilding to re run unit tests was so time consuming it's not even funny. I had a faster experience with Scala and SBT, so that's saying something.

> you can write the code with nothing but a text editor and a compiler

Nothing is stopping you from doing the same in other languages. At some point, the benefits of what IDEs offer (refactoring, inspections, integrated debugging, profiling, etc.) almost become necessary when working on large programs.
That’s not a dog-whistle - it’s straight up antisemitism.
Meanwhile, I know people whose parents had very high incomes, but didn't actually have any real, accessible wealth saved, didn't save for their children's education, and had slept walked into too expensive of a lifestyle to divert any of their income.

Because their parents made too much, they got zero financial aid and ended up covered in mountains of loans because their parents didn't actually have the money to give them.

To be fair though, the fault in this case lies exclusively on the irresponsible parents who had the option to provide for their children's education, but opted to leave them to the wolves.
Bezos for one. He specifically bought newspaper to massage the image of billionaires like him. I don't think he's beneth that tactic given that Amazon has huge employee rotation by design because they haven't anticipate running out of people.
Don't you feel rude to the other people trying to enjoy their time in the forest for yammering on a work call?

I don't like either very much. But I've worked with them extensively and they are a better fit for when you want to squeeze more resources and more stability (the latter depends on certain details but it's certainly easier to achieve compared to Rails).
Very interesting roles! Do you have any remote from UK opening?
Five years ago we could see the continuing national oppression of the Lakota by America, during the Dakota Access Pipeline controversy. Imagine if Russia was trying to ram an oil pipeline through the Ukraine right now. Americans complain the Russians don't respect the sovereignty if the Ukraine, but Americans don't respect the sovereignty of the Lakota.

In the same manner Africans are nationally oppressed by America. This was more evident in my parents time when they couldn't vote, use white bathrooms, drinking fountains, play major league baseball etc. During Robert's life as well. Some of those restrictions have been removed, but looking at statistics we see how Africans are kept out of these places. The Supreme Court generally lessened the overt oppression against Africans since the 1950s, it looks like they are headed back to the old days now.

I don't think Europeans can comprehend the schizophrenia of America's attitude towards those of African descent. Like here, their friends at the Economist (probably some 20 something factotum just out of university) carry this idea on. Of course painting America's national oppression of the Africans it kidnapped to here as just, the natural order of things etc.

This was interesting until it blamed Jewish people.

If you don't like class systems, blame those who perpetuate them. The extremely wealthy, the royalists and the supporters of caste type systems. Otherwise you're just being antisemitic when you could be making an interesting point.
Based on comments I read on here this morning about how some people think it’s ok to be racist because you’re basing your disdain for them on the way other people who look like them behave, no.

(To clarify, the comments said, “I dislike people of X color because of the behaviors I’ve observed in people of X color.” And they argued that it wasn’t the same as just hating people based on color, although that’s exactly what it is.)
Electrify the space elevators.
Agree but for purposes of this specific article, the Economist is a British publication. The largest owner is a Dutch holding company.
I'm pretty sure even OpenBSD packages OpenSSL in ports for third party software, since so many pieces of software basically require it and do not work with LibreSSL anymore.

I suppose a Linux distro could hypothetically take the same approach and use a mixture of both, but realistically most people don't want to bother with that.

Personally I'd love a Linux distro with a BSD-style base system and extra packages kept separately, but the closest to that would be ... Slackware with pkgsrc or something I guess.
The caption on that same graph - "we also know who did this and why".
Racism was invented long before that, as a proxy of the invention of race (specifically "white" as a racial category) to justify chattel slavery under the pretense of white supremacy.

So you're correct, for certain definitions of "working class," but I find attempts to dismiss anti-racism (and increasingly LGBT ) progressive efforts as being merely a distraction from class struggle to be tone-deaf at best, and counterproductive at worst.

Intersectionality is a thing. Race shapes class - especially in the United States where class was literally built around racial caste and identity - and class shapes race. We can have praxis along more than one dimension.
the problem with the marxists isn't their evaluation of the problem, it's that they can study history and still somehow have picked the 2nd worst solution possible.
Unarmed black people being killed by police is what brought race back into focus.
Thanks for your reply. Yep, that sounds quite likely given how old the pixel 5 camera hardware is. I was pretty close to the DJ (I guess 2 to 3 meters), none of the photos are cropped.
Amazon has free delivery over 25$. I cancelled prime a few years ago and don’t miss it at all. You just have to wait a couple more days at most.
TL;DR Use cloud based development environments to avoid machine (developer) specific, non reproducible problems, and increase productivity (speculatively)

Probably ok for certain needs, but not something I would use. My productivity comes from a localised and personalised setup. Issues with the local or remote environments IMHO, indicate a problems that

1) others may also encounter.

2) should at least, if possible be understood/ documented.

3) represent opportunities for greater understanding of the environments in question (assuming you have time to dig).
Depends. For instance, if I went to American Samoa, I would be in effect racially barred from owning most property despite being a US national just like the locals. Real estate ownership is a common element of measurement of success.
