10+ YOE Lead Software Developer seeking Full-Stack/Front-End roles using JavaScript. Feel free to reach out!
I'm not sure I ever got on such a website! They usually ask you to disable ad-blockers in order to accept ads, but they cannot force you to accept personalized ads.
I bet Facebook will still happily provide service in a region, even if the only customers for their ads there are groups like companies with no footprint in the country, foreign regimes that would like to influence elections, and locals who’ve figured out ways to evade local laws.
Internationalization, not every keyboard has ^ easily accessible.
Risk has two components: severity and likelihood. Typically on a scale of 1-5 each.

Fukushima has severity 5 risks, and some people are willing to accept them as long as they think the likelihood is 1. But not you, and that's fine. Me neither, btw.

This is the problem that new technology is trying to address. Eliminate the severity 5 risks.

But a lot of people are resistant to taking stock of what's been eliminated so far and what hasn't. That's the problem with the public discourse. That's the new information that people reject. They only think along the likelihood axis and can't recognize when the severity has been reduced.

Going back to your concern. TEPCO is an operator. They can only affect the likelihood, not the severity. That's why I don't want to debate you about them. I don't want to convince you to accept a severity 5. I want to ask you where you think we are in eliminating the severity 5s.
Hey, we have a system like that at my company. Microservices are self contained and responsible for exposing their interface via SDKs created with a tRPC like library. Jump to definition works across the entire monorepo like a charm. Could you take a look and give me any feedback? https://github.com/rectech-holdings/umbrella-corp-boilerplat...
Hey Matt,

Not sure if you remember me but we talked about Lean Designs many years back (back then it was called jMockups). Excited to this next step for you! Congrats and good luck!
Sounds like depression talking. Not everything is shit, but if everything smells like shit, check your shoes.

I mean that in a charitable way. Small depressions can easily become large ones if they are allowed to run amok with your feelings.
> There is a reason why we switched away from template-based frontends (à la PHP).

Can you elaborate on that reason? Genuine question. As you mentioned in your post, a lot of what newer web frameworks are doing (SvelteKit, Astro, Enhance.dev, etc.) are reminding me a lot of my early days with PHP. The benefits of SSR are widely acknowledged amongst the proper JS frameworks.
The difference is that now they're getting fined and being given legally-binding orders to stop.
Mostly people don't know, and literally can't imagine, how much data there is about them. I accidentally freaked out a friend when they posted a photo on FB and challenged their friends to guess where it was taken, by responding 30 minutes later with a link to the Google street view photo of the same spot.

That said: The personalisation of the adverts is, at least in my case, pretty terrible — FB and Twitter categorised me as being interested in sports I've never watched, languages I've not learned, and politics of countries I've never lived in.

As someone else replied to me here, it's good that they're bad, because bad ads are easier to ignore.
Education, language, and refugee-specific labour restrictions are the biggest issue.

By education I don't even mean they're undereducated - for example over 40% of Syrian refugees here in Ireland are college educated, comparable to the overall level nationally. But their educational institutions are unknown here, and not necessarily trusted - and a limited grasp of the language is always going to hold you back. We have a significant shortage of medical staff here but Ukrainian doctors have so far been unable to enter the workforce because it takes about a year to go through exams to verify their qualifications.

Plus asylum seekers in many countries are banned from working at all - hard to have a good economic outcome when you're not allowed to earn an income, sometimes for years.
I have the same instinct (JSP / JSF had the same concept) but I must say, making pages as files in next.js is really nice. You can have all your dynamism within them, but having a simple way to do overall routing is lovely.
> The technical reason to put memory and the CPU/GPU on a single package is to decrease memory latency (and possibly boost operating frequency).

You've got that backwards, I think. Putting memory on package, or even just soldered on the PCB nearby rather than in removable DIMMs primarily helps hit higher frequencies or lower power at similar frequencies (GPUs and smartphones provide a wealth of examples). There's little or no impact on latency, because most DRAM latency occurs within the DRAM dies or inside the CPU's cache hierarchy rather than on the link between the CPU and DRAM.
For sure, and we have been for a while. Humans are simply not built for being inundated with information outside of the local tribe or community. It's a strange philosophical consequence that humans create technology that outpace humanity's emotional and general intelligence.
Heatpumps are an extremely widely deployed technology by now (I have one in my house, so have everyone I know); this is an article about inventions in heat pump space, and the post is sceptical about the concept of heat pumps.

Kind of like a post about a new kind of airplane getting a comment saying that the concept of flying makes their BS alarm go off. Yes, flying is a bit "magic" and seems to defy the laws of gravity....
As an EU citizen all I can say is: Get fucked. I hope the EU grows a spine and actually doubles down instead of bowing to US pressure.

This tech does this too, you can see here: https://youtu.be/wg96lDw7sNw
> Where do you even get them?

Unfortunately, if you don't want to try and grow them you'll have to get them from someone you know. You could also try the dark web if you really want some, I'm sure you could get some there but if you can avoid that, it would be better. Fortunately it seems like getting mushrooms mixed with fentanyl isn't a thing AFAIK.

> How do you know how much to take? / How do you take them?

Up until recently, I was just eating a small amount - kind of hoping a stem and a small cap would do the trick. Most the times, this would work, but every once in awhile you'll get a small guy that is way more powerful than you think. I've found the best way for me now is to grind them into a powder and fill large fillable capsules with them. You can get several different sizes; I would start with smaller ones at first. The trick is to grind up as much of that batch of mushrooms as possible, as well as you can (I just use a simple coffee bean grinder). This does a good job of making sure each capsule you fill with the resulting powder is as evenly spread as it can be without special equipment. The benefit of this is you will now have 10-30 mushroom capsules with the same efficacy and you can then start with a single one and see how you feel. For your first time, I would not push past a single one. It can also sometimes take up to 3 hours before it really sinks in depending on what you're eating and such, so the first time just do not take another one.
> It is the lack of a predictable regulatory landscape in Europe that keeps them from being a hotbed of technological innovation

The EU recognizes the processing of personal data as a fundamental right.

That limits a certain kind of technological innovation, namely that which is in violation of that right.

> This decision, as I understand it, renders large swathes of tech service revenue models untenable.

Too bad for them, but so what? Now they can no longer label me and sell those labels of me to others, with no way of recourse to me if they get those labels wrong.

Complaining about this is a bit like Big Tobacco complaining they can no longer sell cigarettes to kids. Yeah, that's the point.
At a really fundamental level, yes, it boils down to calories in versus calories out. However, in practice it's more complicated than that, partially for psychological reasons.

Anyone will lose significant weight on a strict enough diet. Unfortunately, severe calorie restriction does things to your metabolism -- basically, your body notices there's not enough food, and tries to slow everything down so that your existing stores will last as long as possible. This (a) isn't good for you, since major organs are having to limp along, and (b) means your diet gets less effective, as "calories out" aggressively shrinks. There's evidence that this lasts for a fair while after a diet stops, making it really easy to regain weight.

Then, psychologically, most people have a hard time sticking with any sort of long term diet. Unless you have an abnormally low hunger response, ignoring feeling hungry all the time (even just a little bit) is very hard. Cheating on your diet is very alluring, and your body gives you all the rewards for doing things that feel like they're avoiding you slowly starving to death.

The latter point is where these drugs come in. By suppressing hunger signals, dieting suddenly becomes easy, removing the escalating willpower requirement. (Honestly, I'd worry about whether you'd still suffer the metabolic effects of calorie restriction even if you're not noticing the hunger, but hopefully that's being studied and they're only prescribed along with a solid nutritional plan...)

Solid state batteries show promise. But honestly for a set or requirements like this, just using traditional fuel + paying for carbon sequestration would probably be a cheaper option.
Which is extremely annoying. Many new iOS features, like E2E encrypted backups and the shared photostream, require all devices to be on the latest OS.

Apple is forcing me to replace my otherwise functional device. I'll have to look into putting linux on it, because I won't be able to sign into my apple id on it.
Looks like other SSRs. FEDs will thank you.

So regulate charcoal. And black powder requires saltpetre, and doesn't require nitric acid. You can make saltpetre from piss, but I don't know how.

And is black powder so scary? You can get it out of firecrackers, which are sold (here) without ID, although I guess you might have to prove your age to buy fireworks. It doesn't detonate, so it can't be used to prime a high-explosive like ammonium nitrate fertilizer.
Congratulations to sticking to it for such a long time. Given sufficient time any startup can work. The more you know the more competitive you are the better the product.
If someone presents a plausible hypothetical situation, one can choose not to answer but changing it with implausible additional assumptions speaks for itself.

Why was the bit about the software engineer mentioned? Is it to convey that anyone who isn’t the same as that is wrong? Tons of software engineers don’t have those things. Are they doing it wrong?
We see one of these essays a day at this point. I do think authors need to at least critique why they think technical solutions can’t help.

We did migrate from http to https for example. And we do use a (top down) cryptographic scheme for DNS. We also do use similar schemes for crypto currency. So we do use technology as needed when needed. I’d argue the time is coming when we need to use it in some way to secure human conversation on the net. If I am confident here it is because I see this as typical of the same transitions that forced us to use crypto elsewhere.

True PGP is a failure but I can see room for a scheme where people bother to indicate that a person is real. Nobody is going to bother indicating that a post is real or not (nobody cares).
Can you describe what changes you think should be made to that culture? How do you balance what sounds like great work/life balance and awareness of Salesforce's impact outside of strictly its business activities, which is something I'd expect from a "good" employer, with the potential downsides of (paraphrasing your words) "employees focusing on [not an "actual job"]"?

Do you think those colleagues didn't contribute anything as far as their job title?
Perhaps we need a different revenue model for games.

Book publishing was pretty winner-take-all, until Kindle Unlimited (and its close relative, the many serial-fiction "unlock new chapters with coins" websites and apps) came along, and basically changed everything for many indie authors.

Before, you needed to woo a publisher, because you needed to be in bookstores, because you needed a certain threshold of word-of-mouth to be stirred up around your releases, in order to get sales that would let you make enough to cover your own advances.

But with the Kindle Unlimited model (users pay a flat subscription fee; authors get paid per page read) it's now practical to earn a living just by writing and maybe talking your book up on your own personal social media — no need to find a publisher, no need to make it into bookstores, no need to advertise heavily, no need to make big-hit releases, etc. Just pump out a constant stream of stuff that some people like enough, and you get money.

Could there be a Kindle Unlimited for games? All games are free under subscription; devs get paid proportional to play time?

A quick Google suggests that Apple Arcade might actually be doing this, but Apple Arcade devs are apparently under NDA not to talk about the revenue model. (Maybe because Apple doesn't want the other bigcorps realizing this is working well and being a fast-follower?)
I don't think I'll need them. I'm switching to Linux.
I think something quite different than you, but that isn't important. The important thing is that different people are learn differently and are motivated in different ways. Curriculums should take this into account and accommodate different learning styles. Unfortunately, they usually don't.
They shouldn't forget to skip leg day.
> Eyeballing this graph[2] that corresponds to breakeven outside temperature of <-20℃ and -8℃ respectively for 40℃ output (~-18℃ and 0℃ for 50℃).

Interesting perspective, thank you. Considering that the average winter temperature in Seattle (Washington) is around 3-4˚C [1], it is far over the breakeven.

It is even more true in my case: my system is is a water-water geothermal type. They do maintain maximum COP (4-5) and maximum power independently of the outside temperature. They are perfect for cold climate.

For the little side story: My heatpump has been installed in 1987 by the previous owner of the house and I believe he was truly a visionary.

Nobody was talking or even speaking about heat pump at that time. From his own words: people of the neighbourhood took him for a mad-man when he said in the 80s he would warm his house with the cold water from the river. Facts are that his system is still running 35 years later and provided a cheap, reliable and low carbon source of heating for over 3 decades.

It seems like this has been an issue with qBittorrent for a while? I'm using qBittorrent 4.4.5, when I switched to the Breeze Dark theme, all the text in the sidebar ended up being dark grey text on a dark grey background.

How does this happen? I get it when GTK apps are broken by themes, since GTK doesn't really officially support themes out of the box, and GTK themes are just default stylesheet hacks, not some solid theming API. But Qt has always had good official support for themes, and KDE has always exposed a dark theme in their settings app. Is KDE just not a target platform for qBittorrent?
Interestingly, there's no such problem on Cyrillic keyboards despite being a totally different alphabet. We only need to switch the current layout to English which is what we do all the time anyway.

The word you used was "most", not "a lot".

Even "a lot" could reasonably be treated as having been a statement about the proportion, but it would not have been a precise enough statement to argue about. And "a lot" could also be treated as talking about an absolute number, in which case the question of whether something was "a lot" would be a total matter of personal opinion.

"Most", on the other hand, has a very clear meaning in terms of relative numbers... which that RAINN link does nothing to support.

"Arguing in good faith" includes not trying to quietly rewrite your position in the middle.

The Spanish “scene” has been around for a while! I have a friend who moved to Spain in the 90s to study under Ascanio. After Ascanio, Tamariz and the late Gabi Pareras seem to have the biggest influences, but Gabi was not well known outside of Spain (until his later years). Only got to see him once in London.

Tamariz is still a big influence in the magic scene of course, but DaOrtiz and his Villa Kaps seem to be expanding the circle at a faster pace for the next generation.

(Not Spanish, from Puerto Rico now living in the US, and very much into the topic. =) )
It is nice. It is easy. There's a reason we started there.

Then, suddenly after a certain amount of scaling, it isn't. And it's not like that's an impossible situation either, but you end up with all the consequences of building a framework to do X and then having to build an inner platform[1] to do some other Y inside of X instead.

You're forgetting that increases in productivity used to be partially shared with the middle class who enjoyed a rising standard of life as a result. Around that time it changed with the rich keeping all those profits to themselves. If middle class salaries had kept up, houses and education would be affordable.

I liked created smoke bombs using sugar and potassium nitrate. One day, they went off while cooking them on my front porch. I poured some water on it so that any embers that fell between the board wouldn't ignite any leaves or debris under the porch. I mush have poured 40 gallons on it, because it was a cold day and the water was creating steam that I mistook for smoke. Not funny at the time, but pretty funny now. At least I had the sense to do it on a hotplate outside instead of in the house.
Yeah, sure, I didn't get that you were talking about tall people with normal BMI.
I think that legislation is the right choice when companies have proven to be repeatedly deceptive and manipulative about what they are actually doing.

If companies are hiding or downplaying what their true business models are, then consumers can not be expected to make an educated or informed choice about which companies to support or use.

When large companies with massive amounts of resources are also using them to spread propaganda, it becomes even harder for people to make informed choices.
The frustrating part of bad economic times is that bloated companies use it as an opportunity to clean house while projecting a positive signal to Wall Street.

This move probably would have been just as needed two years ago but would have tanked the stock at the time.

It’s sucks when real people get caught up in companies just virtue signaling to Wall Street
This is exactly what I was looking for, huge thanks.
You love to see it. Matt is a great example of someone who has bootstrapped and built a strong business while mitigating risk for his personal life. Much of the start up dogma tells you this isn't possible, but it is.
I like that Flask has Jinja2, which has a simple template language in it, but doesn't let you run arbitrary Python.
Globalization also isn't really collapsing but it definitely is changing. Is Apple now making their iPhones in the US? Nope, but they are moving production to other countries so it doesn't only take place in China.

This will result in higher prices short-term, but will likely result in more globalization and supply-chain resilience in the longer term.
If you're unconscious or altered mental status a doctor can force you to do a medical procedure to overcome an emergency situation, like say a baby that needs to come out immediately. Whether you are a prisoner or not would be irrelevent.

The doctor made this clear to me when I was unlawfully detained in Arizona while officers lied to the doctor telling them there was drugs in my GI tract. The doctor was chomping at the bit to find some clinical evidence of emergency so he could force me to do what he wanted.
