What battle station? Real hackers have a sticker festooned laptop with the keys falling off that SSHs into something decent, hopefully with permission ;-)

The main reason is because we shoehorn complex apps/ui's into a browser that wasn't made for it.

It's not the UI is very complex , or that there are ton of frameworks with different maturity levels.

It's because the browser and thus html/CSS was made for documents.

If we made a "browser" made for apps, where we didn't need to transpile to js, and didn't need to cater for incompatible browser versions, but could concentrate on what really matters we wouldt have such a big problem

>If we don't someone else will. How do we prevent that.

This thought process alone shows me that we probably aren't even mature enough as a species to go to Mars. A mission like that will likely need global cooperation, effectively dooming it.

If China somehow went to Mars on their own they deserve whatever benefit they were to get from and we shouldn't aim to prevent space exploration because of who does it.

I find the hard part is when someone stops talking and everyone else is ready to say something.

You kind of have to talk over everyone else for a few seconds until they give up? I’ve found that’s the only way I can ever say anything in certain groups but it still feels wrong.
Well, if the problem they’re addressing is largely petty crimes against businesses like shoplifting, you really only need private security in the business districts. Preventing crime in private homes seems like it’s a much harder task for either private or public security, given the coverage area required.
I've met some great UI designers and they could take a libXaw application and have it present information cleanly and offer available actions and context transitions that make sense.

But these people are not rewarded in today's industry. The criteria for good UI design these days is all about "lOoKs mOdErN". Plus the field seems increasingly tied to HTML/CSS/JS. Development teams as a whole are not incentivized to do UI design with an emphasis on making the user's work easier... they're incentivized by engagement KPIs and the like. So there's a trendline towards more sizzle and less steak.
Yeah, that's why exceptions were created back then. They got rid of a lot of extraneous branches in exchange for a small, nearly constant cost on your function calls.

But with decades gone, things changed. That constant costs is relatively not so small anymore, and those branches are much cheaper now.
The title claims "behind every self-made millionaire", then the article subtitle claims "behind most self-made millionaires", then the article body just points at a grand total of 4 human beings that are millionaires that had rich fathers, as proof that most/every self-made millionaire had a rich father. The article is nothing but class-warfare propaganda.

A few thoughts, none of which are specifically intended to support or refute this article's thesis:

- "Every" is a big word. What about Jobs and Woz (I actually legitimately don't know)? I'm sure there's lots of "actual" self-made millionaires. But I bet you they all have the same kind of story: somewhere along the way, someone, whether family or not, showed up with a lot of money.

- It is kind of intuitive that having money, a very versatile tool, can help increase the success rate of your business. Sometimes it means a longer runway, sometimes it means being able to even try.

- There's a survivorship bias, I think, given the above point. What's the success rate of startups built by people with money vs. people without money?

- To me, this relates loosely, perhaps analogously, to the tremendous value of having a social safety net. People with money are usually in a position to take risks. Those who are thinking about where their next meal or rent payment comes from usually aren't.
I enjoyed learning and tinkering with it for a few years but haven't been on much recently. Partly I just didn't try hard enough to learn more, but I was also a little disappointed omat how much the conversations are inevitably about antennas and contesting. Still, I met lots of fun interesting people through the local clubs.
> People who voted to defund the police are now paying for private security. Multnomah County, where downtown Portland is located, is bluer than blue. Joe Biden won there by more than 79 percent of the votes in 2020. And these people want their private security to come with guns.

Leaving aside the quibble about whether anyone literally voted to “defund the police,” I do find this phenomenon interesting. Our “progressive” private school recently hired a former Detroit cop to patrol the campus with a gun. Super nice guy. But gun control is for the proletariat apparently.
I think this is a very utilitarian view. He is probably right, but we are in a late stage post material society where a huge part of the global population just wants to be entertained.

I can't decide if I am ironic, sarcastic or realistic.

I was looking into this recently and while I didn't find a great analysis, the impression I got was that financialization of the economy is a big part of this.

There are tons of tax benefits for owning land and for many of them you don't even need to produce anything or even have a working farm. You just need to own eligible land. Combine this with the fact that farmers are often capital poor so a lot of farmland is leased from those that own it. We basically have the same issue that renters are facing in modern urban America but with farmers.

Getting the financial industry out of assets we can't make more of seems like the obvious choice.

Personally I've had great success with adding Web Components to server side rendered projects. It's really simple to just bind a class to the custom element and attach a few event listeners. If you need something a bit more complex rendered on the client side you can use mithril or similar libraries like lit-html. When I need to hydrate a state I JSON encode the model as a data-state attribute and I decode it when the Web Component's connectedCallback method fires.

Which adds a ton of friction to the transaction. For that matter you can require them to pay you in cash.

My point is that, historically, personal checks were the default for a lot of person to person transactions in the US but they carried some risk--depending on the situation.
I find the history of all-in-one-cables interesting. I come from ancient video production (late 80s time frame), which means I was still using equipment from even earlier. Back then some of these AIOCs were 1" round with 15-20 pins. It was all analog signals which meant each signal needed its own pin. Some AIOCs were D-style connectors with up to 15-20 pins that were not compatible with things like VGA/DB25/SCSI types of computer cables. Going digital drastically reduced the number of pins for old parallel connections and down to one as the signal became serial. My favorite was SDI which carried the video and audio down a single pin coax cable with a twist lock BNC connector. Consumer grade released DV cables and then HDMI. Both of which are inferior in my opinion specifically for their lack of locking when connected, but their extra pins do allow for interesting things consumer friendly like ARC and ethernet/data stuff.

And, unsurprisingly, people calling to defund the police thought about how things would be if we stopped sending thugs with military-grade arms into our communities and calling them police. Also, unsurprisingly, no one who claimed those folks were wrong bothered listening to them.

I'm sorry, but implying that developing a good personality is compensating is itself a form of bigotry. Just as it would be if I said "what she did to signal that she was intelligent despite being a woman was to 'mathmax' or 'logicmax'".

In the analogy I'd be dismissing a woman's math ability as compensation for women's inferior intelligence, rather than just saying she worked hard at math or is naturally talented at math and that is cool.

In your actual post, you imply that short men can't _just_ be funny. Or _just_ have a good personality, without it being somehow tied to compensating for your own perceived negative qualities of being short.

Scala engineers with experience designing, building, and optimizing compilers: Mid- and Senior- Levels
thatDot has created the world's first Streaming Graph, called "Quine" to make interpreting high-volume data streams dramatically faster and easier [1]. After 7 years of DARPA-funded research and development with a fantastic team of engineers, it's a game-changing core infrastructure technology. Our products are used by major security companies to do real-time behavioral analysis, monitor and triage their alarms, and automate remediation of security threats.

We're an early-stage venture backed company, and now is a great time to join! We believe strongly that each person should get more from their job than just a paycheck! It should be interesting, provide a chance to learn new things, help advance your career, work with amazing and kind people, and be fun! A person ≠ their opinions. We value individual people who know how to disagree productively with each other so we can all learn. We deliberately cultivate a space where learning new things is the goal. Non-traditional backgrounds (i.e. non-CS degrees) are strongly encouraged; philosophy majors wanted!

Tools in our stack - NOT REQUIRED if you're willing to learn:
- Scala. We happily use pragmatic functional programming on the JVM.
- Akka. The Actor model is at the heart of what we do.
- Akka Streams. Backpressure is the ideal way to approach streaming data.
- Databases like Cassandra, RocksDB, and more.
- …and the right tool for the job.

I wrote that other comment just before dozing off for the night because I was surprised no one else had replied yet. But to expand on it:

In Eiffel (which is an object oriented language), methods on objects are separated into two kinds: commands and queries. This is also known as the "Command-Query Separation" principle. The idea is that commands are the ones causing changes to the systems and queries only inform you about the system. `a_set.add(item)` changes the set, while `a_set.has(item)` tells you about the set but makes no changes to it. It's very useful, and very common. I mean, I'd hope that `some_collection.Size()` doesn't actually change its size, that's not what it exists to do.

> array.unshift(x), is mutating and slow

This year it's slow. I wouldn't count on that being true in five years. I mean, it might, it might not. There's a risk in optimizing too much for current conditions. You can easily end up over-fitting for the current set of coincidences, and end up with less readable code that's actually slower in the long run.

But by all means, measure and improve until it's fast enough.
Gatekeeping. Modern elites do this a lot where they publically promote the opposite of what made them successful.

Good to know.

> For most people "reflection" is a synonym to "runtime reflection".

I mean, that's just because many languages don't even have a compile-time so of course reflection can only be runtime. Every compiled language has at least some amount of extremely basic concept of compile-time reflection, e.g. sizeof in C for instance which yields a constant expression ; likewise, `if constexpr(std::is_same_v<T, some_other_type>) { ... }` which we can do since C++17 is very much in the domain of compile-time reflection.

Here's the most recent paper: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p12...

If you want this is a very good read: https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2018/p07...

Finally, there is an implementation of the reflection TS: https://clementpirelli.wordpress.com/2021/12/08/cpp-reflecti...
Plumbers are vitally important, imagine flushing the toilet and poop pops out of the kitchen faucet.
> you should prefer different functions for each case instead.

No I shouldn't. I use this frequently in c++ to deduplicate common functionality that only differs by a single line. The "flag" is a zero-size struct and checking the flag is done at compile time.

struct do_bar_tag {}
template<typename do_bar_t>
int foo(int x, do_bar_t) {
if constexpr (is_same<do_bar_t, do_bar_tag>::value) {
bar(x);
}
...
}

The compiler will emit two implementations, as you suggest is proper, but my maintenance overhead is reduced. And the cost is zero, in time and space, at runtime.

Of course, this isn't always the right thing to do, and you can definitely overdo it. But in moderation, it's fine. "Code smell" is too often a needlessly strong opinion.
Because you can't do that with vanilla HTML/JS/CS.
