It does not change the fact that the USSR and Nazi Germany were allies in 1939 and through 1940. They cooperated in Poland, signed a treaty to partition eastern Europe and were clearly considered as such when Britain and France were planning their intervention in Finland and bombing the oil fields in Azerbaijan.

Yes it was short term alliance of convenience and both sides didn’t really trust each other but it does not change the fact that without material, political and military support from the USSR Germany’s position early in the war would have been much weaker.

Except it is. There's no research that show significant rates of desistence in the relevant population, which is children who want to transition. Rates of persistence are high in this population. Rates of regret are low, and are far lower than many other common forms of surgery.

I don’t think upper-middle class programmers were donating much before EA.

Obviously AMF has been around before EA, the big difference is the additional amount of money it’s been able to deploy. I personally know many people (including me!) who started donating significantly because of EA.

I suppose some people may struggle with using hooks in React, especially if they've been taught React the quick and dirty way when they started working with the library. Most of these seem pretty obvious if you've read the documentation of React hooks and the last example doesn't have much to do with useAnything, it's applicable to many other data loading mechanisms as well.

It’s not possible to call Apple’s APIs without their SDK and the SDK is closed source and distributed with the App.

Apple is within its rights to request compensation. You could try to reverse engineer them, but then Apple might: 1. Sue for copyright infringement. 2. Continually change iOS so syscalls require a signed certificate in the SDK.

It’s effectively impossible to get around their copyrights on iOS and as such it’s not very different to the licensing and compensation of the Unreal Engine.

All this said, I really would prefer Apple to document and encourage Linux on the iPhone as a secondary boot option (along with a voiding of the device’s warranty). That way iOS would be locked down but other OSs on the iPhone would not need to be.

Precisely, and very well said. My understanding is that our will is still deterministic, but cannot be determined within the bounds of our universe. So effectively, in this universe and within this universe, our free will cannot be simulated nor predicted over even a pretty short amount of time.
No, the primary point of a const cast is "I need to pass this to an API that expects a non-const pointer even though it won't mutate it".

Casting const away and then mutating is a footgun as you are in undefined behavior territory as soon as your pointer/reference is not just const itself but points to a const variable.

Hey,
We have an open-source React-based framework for easily building CRUD apps. It is headless by default and supports Material UI, AntDesign, Chakra UI, and Mantine.

repo: https://github.com/refinedev/refine

It eliminates the repetitive tasks demanded by CRUD operations and provides industry-standard solutions for critical parts like authentication, access control, routing, networking, state management, and i18n.

It also has connectors for 15+ backend services including REST API, GraphQL, NestJs CRUD, Airtable, Strapi, Strapi v4, Strapi GraphQL, Supabase, Hasura, Nhost, Appwrite, Firebase..

So you can save a lot of time from development time.

Except most organizations can barely afford their ground-based observatories as it is, so to think you can chuck enough capacity into orbit to compensate even a fraction of it for anywhere close in budget is wishful thinking.

It will be a nuisance for amateur astronomers too (for astro-photography people anyway), since they are more likely to take wide-angle shots (increasing likelihood of bright transient in shot) and have less technical means to compensate for it.
And they certainly don't have the budget to launch their own satellites..

> a twitter replacement with all the filters and whatnot Musk is talking about dismantling.

All the filters and whatnot people talk about people talking about Musk dismantling.

There's a mass hysteria happening. Pretty much nothing of consequence has happened on Twitter on user side, except for what people make it in their heads, or talk about to show off in front of the group, one-upping each other in their newly discovered deep hatred for Musk.

They check out Mastodon and are disappointed, because despite the fact it does give you more control and tools to "carefully curate your safe space", it's not the "Twitter but without Musk" they hoped it to be. It's not, and can't be, because the userbase isn't there, and the culture isn't there. Fediverse is still driven by political extremists crafting their own safe space to stew in their own vitriol, and the very identity is still defined as "we're not Twitter". Fediverse won't grow until it develops its own identity, that's not just negative space between commercial social media (and until it insulates the federation against political crazies).

Federation is hard. E-mail and Mastodon are both, simultaneously, large successes and huge failures. There's a lot to learn from it, there's a potential to do better - but now is not the time, not when the topic is covered by the wannabe Internet stars doing performative anti-Musk dances.

> “(...) can’t we just have our twitter back, pretty please?”

They still have it, and guess what, they're still on it - because all this whining is just for show.
I like how OP opens smugly by calling the NYT article a fluff piece, then proceeds to immediately cite anonymous Twitter anecdotes as better sources.

He's right about the specific NYT article not including much pertinent information, but they're a serious journalistic publication and have verification standards for sources.
Interesting you say that.

I occasionally chat with a person I know IRL about the potential destructiveness of a politicised approach to trans issues, and they're in education too. Used to self-harm, actually, and noticed that a lot of (mostly FTM) trans kids fit into the same demographic that they did as a kid.

I'm on the spectrum and had some pretty serious mental health issues myself as a teenager, so I see a different side to the same coin (mainly emotionally dysregulated MTFs).

On the flip side, Gender Dysphoria is 100% real and transitioning is an incredibly helpful medical option for those who happened to be born this way.

It's an incredibly hairy issue, and I don't think simply dismissing it as a "cult" is the right way to deal with it.
This is kind of the nature of open source though; I use tons of open source software and libraries every day, also for my clients, without letting the maintainers of the software and libraries know.

That said, I do advocate for companies doing financial contributions to open source where possible.
I guess the part about the media always doing hit pieces on tech companies was not always true after all. Maybe crypto is considered finance rather than tech, or maybe being a certain political party donor compensates for the being a tech company part.
They’re literally recruiting children online to join their little cult. They’re shipping them cheap Chinese hormones to DIY transition behind their parents backs. Literal cult behavior.

Completely understand where you are coming from.

However if they had fines that ruin them, then wouldn't they be in the position of having nothing to lose and becoming a repeat offender?

The punishment would have to be off-putting without being motivation of offend again. But as we see with business fraud it happens all the time and decades of jail time don't deter.
I haven’t found a good, well-referenced article on this topic, but the short version seems to be lobbying of state governments by car dealers back in the 1930s, and continued lobbying since.

Incumbent car manufacturers had no particular incentive to upset the applecart, but Tesla had the opportunity to see how insane it was.

Interestingly, BYD has chosen a direct to consumer model here in Australia (if you haven’t heard of them, you soon will). Mercedes has now switched to an agency pricing model where the dealers sell on commission and don’t own the cars, so Mercedes can legally control the retail price.
> My take on it is that we should have called is "distributed services" because micro implies that they have to be small.

> Usually there are clear borders in your app of stuff that can me compartmentalized, but they usually should be called medium services instead.

These are excellent points and probably loosely coincide with how many teams you might have working on different parts of the greater system as well.

> ...you dont need an api endpoint, where a stored procedure (or the like) will do.

I'm not sure about this. Outside of niche cases and domains (like batch processes), stored procedures are harder to develop, harder to test, harder to debug, harder to audit (or at least less convenient to, when you want to ship your logs with something like GELF) and also have worse tooling for working with them, ensuring code style rules and so on.

Just look at the reality in many places: https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/devecosystem-2021/databases/#Da...

Do you debug stored procedures?
47% Never
44% Rarely
9% Frequently

Do you have tests in your database?
14% Yes
70% No
15% I don't know

Do you keep your database scripts in a version control system?
54% Yes
37% No
9% I don't know

Do you write comments for the database objects?
49% No
27% Yes, for many types of objects
24% Yes, only for tables

How would you feel about code that about half of people have never debugged properly, almost tree quarters of people don't bother testing, only about half uses version control for and about half doesn't even document? Because as far as I can tell, this matches my experience when working with the majority of databases out there, either the development culture or tooling (or the entire architecture of those) isn't there yet, and it might never be.

While database design should be a major consideration that begs attention, I personally maintain that the majority of the functionality should go into the app, regardless of whether you use an ORM or not. An exception to this would be using plenty of database views to make querying easier and putting consideration towards how one could handle enums and such, so you don't end up with a database that's not possible to understand without reading the app source code in another window.

Yes. And, SixDegrees, Delicio.us Digg, early Reddit where folk would just post links they thought interesting to their own profile (who uses reddit that way now? Can one, even?); folksonomies and social book-marking.

Now perhaps, but the plan is for plenty more.
I've managed closed Fb group for ten years now. For new members we have a voting system in place. Inviting wouldn't work because if members could invite whoever they choose it will sooner or later lead to having members that not everybody is comfortable with. A friend of my friend may not necessarily be my friend. It'll create friction and lead to all sorts of interpersonal problems and soon enough it's not a peaceful community anymore, people start to block each other or lash out in comments just because their personalities or beliefs clash. I don't believe in invites anymore.

Google Wave and Googl+ also had invite system, it didn't work out well. Gmail is exception to the rule I'd say.
It's actually quite interesting. I don't know of many cases where regional autonomy (tribal or otherwise) actually becomes sovereignty.

And worse: pretty much everyone was aware of it, but thought that because they were aware of it and everyone else is a schmuck, they could benefit from it. Some did, but only if they liquidated their holdings last year.

I think you've accidentally set up a straw man. I didn't say they're not being prescribed, nor that they are being given without any consideration, but that they're being given to minors (12 or 13), which is true and discussed in the article. It's likely that are pros and cons to this, also discussed in the article.

I bought a car last year during the covid induced car shortages. The first visit to the dealer, I said what I wanted, he went to the back and got a piece of paper with a price and a VIN number, the price matched what the Toyota website said, and I agreed to put down a deposit. The next visit 3 weeks later, I saw the car I was promised, the dealer told me the price which matched the sheet. He gave me the keys for a totally private test drive (he didn’t even come along) and I proceeded to hand over the check and was sent on my way as soon as the DMV paperwork was fulfilled. It was a Toyota dealership in California. They’re not all rotten. I’d happy buy another car from the same salesperson if I was in the market. If I had to guess, dealerships that do fleet sales have less pressure and can treat normal consumers with proper respect.
The New York Times piece is even worse, since it paints a misleading picture of SBF and his cronies losing all the money accidentally rather than malice (far more likely).
Don’t split your app into frontend/backend and instead use a single framework like Django or Ruby. If you’re just building a crud app you likely don’t need the power of a JavaScript frontend and you’re just doubling your work.
I disagree.

Walking is generally a combination of occupying a bit of your mind plus movement. Folks can minimize the movement stuff and get similar results.

This is the reason folks get ideas when they drive, wash dishes, shower, walk, crochet, do martial arts... Basically, any slightly boring repetitive task that involves just a bit of movement and a just enough mental stimulation.
