The great thing about it is that it basically gives you the benefits of CSS-in-JS on the web, but without the downsides, since it compiles away to atomic CSS (even ternaries!).

It’s true that it’s marginally less performant than vanilla React Native (within 10%, looks like 1.9%):

https://tamagui.dev/docs/intro/benchmarks

But that is actually no small feat for a native component library, see f.ex. Nativebase’s longstanding unresolved performance issues:

https://github.com/GeekyAnts/NativeBase/issues/4302

And for that tiny difference on native, you in return get close to 100% code sharing between native and web. As opposed to writing vanilla React Native and then writing it again for vanilla React.
Find meaning? A whole lot of younger people (myself included) don't believe there is such a thing at all. As I enter my 30s I'm more convinced than ever "meaning" is a nonsense concept.

I am sure one could accuse me of being immature because of my view on this, but that simply isn't the case. My adolescence was unfortunately cut short, not extended.

I really liked those when we were in Japan! Most hotels/hostels and even some flats you can rent have them. Always was super clean an convenient.

I think we agree. WFH itself can work with the right environment, but I question wether certain kinds of companies are realistically capable of fostering that environment. Personally I think that if a company finds that it can't do WFH effectively, it shouldn't even be doing tech, and should contract that work out to a company that can WFH. It's like, a code smell for business.
I'm wondering how true this is in the United States if you don't restrict yourself to big cities when considering parenting behavior.

I grew up in a mid-sized midwestern city (millennial) and we were definitely very free to do whatever we wanted (within reason) as kids, and we were actually expected to come home every change we got from college. Might be the right balance (assuming that kids have to go to college, which isn't true).
> Amazon delivery just throwing things on the ground and damaging them

My experience with the delivery people has been fine.

But Amazon itself keeps wrapping books that I order in bubble-padded manila envelopes that are too tight. This causes obvious damage to the corners of the book. I have repeatedly complained to them about this, and their response is "we have no way to control what packaging is used on any shipment".

They used to ship things in boxes. They should go back to that.
I agree 100% and I'd add, static typing helps when you inherit a poorly written codebase. This unfortunately is probably 99% of codebases in the wild. It has happened so many times when i've seen a lack of test coverage, a lack of understanding of the codebase but the business requirement to make changes.

Having a type system in place makes minor refactoring possible in this nightmare scenario.

I have been in the situation of poorly written ruby codebases and I can tell you 100% that I would prefer to have a poorly written java codebase with its static types. I prefer ruby as a language but man when it's bad, it's terrible. Just trying to work out the intent of a function when multiple types are passed in as the same argument over the codebase is pure hell.

The usual figure I see is that food wastage is about 30--40%.[1] That figure's been remarkably stable over most of the past 100 years, though when the wastage happens has shifted dramatically toward the end-consumption phase, that is after a tremendous amount of additional energy has been applied in the form of transportation, processing, and cold-storage. It's much better to toss unusable food in its raw state on the farm rather than as leftovers from your fridge (harvested, transported, refrigerated or processed, merchandised, bought, driven home, cooked, refrigerated again).

There's some wastage of imperfect fruit and vegetables, yes, though you'd be amazed at how much of that actually is incorporated into processed foods (dishes, smoothies, beverages, etc.) or used in animal feed earlier in the supply-chain.

Notes:

1. E.g., US FDA: "In the United States, food waste is estimated at between 30–40 percent of the food supply." <https://www.fda.gov/food/consumers/food-loss-and-waste>. An arbitrarily-selected 1977 citation of the 1974 growing year suggests about 30% food wastage at the time as well ("the combined [food] loss ... could have fed an estimated 49 million people"): <https://www.google.com/books/edition/Food_Waste_an_Opportuni...> Food Waste - an Opportunity to Improve Resource Use

Indeed, the bar is (supposed to be) very high for this kind of thing. But at the same time, it feels like exactly the kind of "gotcha" that rarely flies, because the situation was so deliberately constructed. But without any (public?) litigation, it's anyone's guess what may happen.

Nix can be a huge pain to use, and with the recent redesign it somehow feels even more disjointed than before. But it's still one of my favorite pieces of software. I think a clean interface like https://devenv.sh/ could make all the difference (havent tried it yet but looks promising).

That said, if I understand you correctly, I think nix does let you do what you're describing. You can make an overlay, which is a way to modify a set of packages by reaching in and changing build instructions or add packages to the set. So, you can make an overlay of nixpkgs and add a modified libgcc called mylibgcc to the set. In the same overlay, you can modify package A and package B that depend on libgcc, and change their build instructions, including making them use mylibgcc as a build dependency. If you do this for then both packages will use mylibgcc as a single shared dependency without duplicating it.

Im on mobile but could try to send a working example if you need one, lmk.

I disagree with people here about the console. I don't know how much he games, but tech can be incredibly stressful and an easy escapism mechanism like gaming can lead to some pretty major social deficits in his 30s and make it very easy to ignore the problems of early adulthood. I wouldn't want to be the person who bought somebody their first cigarette.

I don't know what your financial situation is, but CS/CE pays well, he can get his own console no problem. Once you're working "things" become easy to acquire. I bought so many things that I never used. After a while, things came to have no value.

Getting someone work stuff is like gifting a vacuum. Like, yeah, it might be useful and even practical, maybe even thoughtful, but it's a tool of work. Life isn't about work. Buy that useful work stuff for him, but not as a birthday or life event celebration.

If I were you, depending on your family life, I would go to a fancy dinner or trip with him and try to have a real conversation. Maybe talk about what you were like in college/trouble you got into, ask him how his college went. Talk about your first job. Talk about how you made friends and who your friends were. Talk about some events that made you happy or sad. Maybe he's not ready for that, or maybe he already knows it all. Of course that might be uncomfortable for both parties, but growth doesn't occur without discomfort, and closeness doesn't happen without vulnerability.

Consider investing in introducing him to hobbies (maybe dance classes, music classes, travel) where he will frequently be in contact with other people. Maybe choose some exciting activity he's expressed interest in if that's an option.

The irony of tech is that to be a good tech worker, it's your life outside of tech that sustains and powers it as well as sustaining and powering continued learning.

Right? That seems pretty antithetical to democracy. At least where I live, when the senate doesn't like a bill, they send it back to Parliament with recommendations. They can't just tack on whatever they feel like and ascend it from there.
Even in such circumstances, lower-intensity ag methods such as greenhouse farming (enclosures to accommodate for inclement weather), but still relying on incident sunlight, are far more resource-effective. The land-use requirements are still large enough that the technologically- and energy-intensive vertical farming methods simply won't compete.

Is size really that much of a problem with React?

With some chunk splitting and a good hosting, it has always seemed reasonable to me.

The main argument for me when choosing a front end framework is the availability of ready-made UI components, and React has always been ahead thanks to MUI.

I'm just an amateur/hobbyist at front end development though, curious what real front end developers care about most in a framework. Especially, isn't that a huge pain not to have access to all the wonderful MUI components when leaving react?

> Trucks also do not pay property tax on the highways.

Why would they pay property tax on a highway they don’t own?

What they do pay is a per mile tax that is collected at the pump and divided up to the states through IFTA. Every single mile a truck travels is taxed by some state even if it’s just using it for personal use like shopping at Walmart.

We have an exchange student who mentioned to me that in her home country teenagers enjoy a lot more freedom in terms of their independence than kids do here. She's very independent, well-adjusted, and mature. I think there's a lot to childhood independence.

On the other hand, I'm worry about my natural-born kid a lot. And while I'd like to let him explore, I'm not willing to risk custody of my child or government oversight of my parenting just to prove a point. I hope I can find that magical balance point where random strangers will just be impressed with a young kid doing mature things, rather than rush to authorities because no good parent would allow their child to do that...
I think another factor many people neglect is that SpaceX benefits from economies of scale. SpaceX launches very large rockets and launches them very often. Large rockets and a regular cadence are both known to reduce the cost per ton to orbit. SpaceX has the ability to put a whole lot of tonnage in orbit and this immense capacity means they can do it cheaply.

However, this only works if there is enough demand to use all their capacity. At the moment this demand simply does not exist. SpaceX manufactures its own demand. The majority of its capacity goes to launching its own satellites. This lets it keep its cadence, but literally burns the company's own resources to do so.

Whether or not you think Starlink makes any sense in the long run, at the moment it is losing money hand over fist. It serves as an indirect subsidy for SpaceX's other customers.

How you describe it is very similar to how a senior legal counsel and a couple C-Levels described it to me when I suggested we create one. There are merits to the ability to challenge on compelled speech but no company will take that risk. If anything a company wants the government on its side and will not take such a risk even if it's in a grey area. This was in a publicly traded company so perhaps that is also a factor. I've seen a lot of back scratching both ways.
You're right, Google has been very supportive -- very thankful for that! That said, if you work at a technology company, you CAN build a portfolio and self-advocate for projects with engineering teams your data science team already works with.

I think it's worth seeing how far you can get with this approach before interviewing for engineering roles at other companies.

One notable caveat with my approach: pursuing a portfolio approach took me a whole year to switch from DS to engineering. As you point out, grinding leetcode may only require half that time.

Why are you doing that? Just declare the (named) function right there where you’re gonna use it. If it’s any endorsement CPython does it all the time.

As company gets larger, it's so nice to have "important business logic" via API only, that way mobile apps, web apps, partners, etc can use same logic/data. Server side templating is a real drag on enabling this.
I still contend that "compelled speech" is not what's happening when you get charged for publishing the existence of the NSL through a bed of your own making. Though I do agree that the feeling is very different compared to regulation of other commercial speech because of the ... lying aspect.

If we take the inverse, and we are talking about prior constraint, I have a really hard time imagining courts not siding with the executive. There are so many more controversial things the courts side with on law enforcement, "do not tell people who we are investigating" feels like such an easy win (and honestly much more acceptable to the general public than anything).

I feel like there's some fundamental argument here about negligence. In what way is the government responsible for you making a promise you can't keep to your customers?

But... ultimately there's no "real" answer except what the case looks like when it gets in front of judges and how they feel about it. And I will admit arguing it's not compelled speech takes a hell of a lot more effort (even if I believe it's true!).

Dialyzer is almost always right but I've been using Elixir for around 4 years and I occasionally still find it difficult to decipher its verbose and deceiving messages.

I previously worked with TypeScript which felt like a major productivity boost but I've ran into a few instances where Dialyzer came up with the most cryptic error message that took me at least an hour to figure out. It really sucks when that happens and I wish there were more high quality learning materials that would dive into Dialyzer.
