So why are they not used as a foundation? Why are they used at best as a second class citizen? Why is it these frameworks don't produce web components by default?

I agree! You’re currently dealing with writing non-ergonomic Rust.

I’d argue your domain is missing a fundamental reusable library/framework or the framework is currently missing a piece. Once someone publishes the needed library (hopefully it’ll be you) then everyone consuming it can just Lego block multiple crates together. Lego blocking crates together (barring heavy macro crates) is very ergonomic.

95% of all new code written is Lego blocking other crates. 5% of new code written is to build new or improve/patch crates.
I worked for an organization in the 1990s that ran a legacy IBM mainframe (later replaced with an AS/400). After an unplanned power outage, the disk confidence test and rebuild took over 1/2 day.

I'm cross-publishing my website on gemini, basically rendering HTML and gemtext from a very slightly enhanced variant of gemtext that has some rendering hints that are stripped away.

Like this page https://memex.marginalia.nu/log/ is rendered from this code:

# Gemlog

=> /topic/ Browse by topic

=> /links/aggregators.gmi Aggregators

=> /log/feed.xml Atom Feed

This section of the memex contains what might described as a weblog.
%%% FEED

%%% LISTING

(the FEED directive tells it to generate an Atom feed, and LISTING to inline the documents list rather than put it in the side-bar in the HTML version)

Gemtext is very close to what I want. The only thing I wish is that it had some rudimentary support for illustrative images. Not like inlined in the text, but at least centered figures. That would go a long way.
IMF/World Bank stuff actually works, see https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalisation_in_I... as an example. “Trying things” is good, but more countries should try IMF reforms like India’s.

> From 1992 to 2005, foreign investment increased 316.9%, and India's gross domestic product (GDP) grew from $266 billion in 1991 to $2.3 trillion in 2018[6][7] According to one study, wages rose on the whole, as well as wages as the labor-to-capital relative share.[5]

> As an effect of the liberalisation in 1991, extreme poverty reduced from 36 percent in 1993-94 to 24.1 percent in 1999-2000.[8]

At least for cinema closures in the US, there's tons of reports from the early covid days until a few days ago [1][2][3]. In Germany, the situation is just as bad - about 70% of cinemas do not have money left anymore for (sometimes sorely needed) renovations or equipment upgrades [4].

I feel the same way. There are a few funny shows, like Succession, but most other series, even if they have an interesting start, decline very fast. Visually they're all OK to very good. But the writing is boring, often appalling.
i read about environmental regulations that forbid venting because it would be bad for the environment. so there is a tradeof to be made.
the pollution needs to be trapped.

personally i am also bothered by the noise. noise pollution is a problem too.

as much as i prefer cooking with gas myself, burning anything creates pollution with is bad for the environment and for our health. i don't see a way to keep using gas if i want to create a better future
All of this. Truly smart people make things easier for everyone, and usually solve problems in beautifully simple ways.
They might be worse for emissions that aren't CO2, but this whole discussion is moot. Ebikes could be the actual future.
This is something that both interests me and seems difficult to build. I went to a random university in Australia, where there was a decent softdev club-ish thing with some graduates, and then moved to another city. I'd be happy to interface with that club and give back to that community in general, but that's about a thousand kilometers away now. It would seem weird to me to just go up to the local uni club here and be like "yep, I just want to lend a hand" -- that is, if I could even find said club!
It's okay for private companies to spy on us and restrict our activities, in pursuit of their own profit, so long as it's to fight piracy... or for security. Or telemetry so they may better serve the consumer. Or really any excuse at all.

But don't worry - even though entertainment industry profit has been growing for decades, they'll totally return to respecting our freedom, privacy, and autonomy, as soon as piracy (including circumventing DRM) is stamped out. Until then, just keep paying the Danegeld, and things are sure to improve.

That lack of AC won't last much longer. I'm admittedly at about the same latitude as the most southern tip of Germany in Romania. I doubt I'll last more than another year in August without installing AC for all rooms.

Also ask the Greeks. Or Italians. Or the Spanish or southern France.

Incidentally, with this warm winter I'm paying more for heating than my largest heating bill ever, that happened in a -20 C month. And that with government capped heating prices.
Unfortunately, Apple proponents love to smugly point to hotkeys as if "it's so simple."

Great example: Apple's bizarre and petty refusal to put a real Delete key on its laptop or non-full-sized keyboards. They only have a Backspace key, mislabeled "delete." This means that millions of users are arrowing (or moving the insertion point by hand) across the characters they want to delete and backspacing them away. Apple apologists will howl, NOOOO! Command-delete! As if any normal user (especially switching from another platform) would guess this. And yes, they would have to guess this, because it's not marked on the keyboard.

This became doubly inexcusable with the deprecation of the Eject key. It's not as if Apple could pretend that there was "no room" for a Delete key... not that they could anyway, since everyone else manages to provide one.
My Mazda has adaptive cruise control - it has absolutely revolutionised my highway driving. It is intuitive because the heads up display gives you a distance to the vehicle in front; and you can set the distance you want to maintain. It tracks your progress/distance so you can see when it will slow/maintain and it behaves gracefully if someone cuts in
Well in that case, the docs are written separately to the code is just a lazy way of saying the docs do not reflect reality or are out of date.

Waterfall development doesn't work. It doesn't really work for specs and it doesn't really work for documentation either.
I have a rule for reading materials: I read them till the first BS sentence. This one made me stop at: "Most problematic, it’s a behavior that kills people".
I tend to agree with you that these are relatively easy things to detect. I see no reason for the downvotes.

Production systems should have relatively robust testing whose coverage can be increased over time. When something panics, the cause of the panic should be fixed so that the panic never happens again. Over time panics shouldn't be happening.

Then again the systems that I have relied on I have written on my own without other hands in the pot so maybe I just don't have to deal with the reality of other programmers phoning things in.
My issue with Swift is that it changes faster than I can learn it. I'm not Apple developer, I just write some code for macOS or iOS sometimes, like one time a year. I learned Objective C few years ago and this knowledge is with me.
learned Swift 1 but now it's different and it seems that I have to learn it again almost from the scratch.

For professional *OS development Swift probably makes sense. But if I occasionally need to write some code, Objective C for me is preferred. May be Swift is stabilized enough already...
What happened to WebObjects? And why did Apple left the business market?
No, that's not true. There s word for it in German, "Ostalgia", so it's safe to say that some former East Germans feel it, too.

It was also the wealthiest eastern bloc country, and the one with most "economic freedom" relatively speaking. And despite the infamous totalitarian surveillance system, there was a lot more open, civic defiance like conscientious objection to military service, than there was in Russia.

I do think there's a lot more longing for the empire than for the planned economy in Russia today - but that's not so different from the nationalist movements in Hungary, Poland and Ukraine. They just have other ideas of past greatness.
There will be people who don't mourn the loss of highly-paid creatives, but bear in mind that what this person is describing affects absolutely everyone: the camera operator, the set designer, and most definitely the VFX people. Like music, the ability to make a good living has been absolutely squeezed out the industry and the power concentrated on the money men and those who control distribution.
Science fiction has skewed people’s perspective of what’s possible or practically achievable in space travel.

The issue is not willpower and consensus, but what’s economically and physically possible.

You’re right, though, that this says a lot about the future of space travel. We’re unlikely to have successful colonies on other planets within the next century or so, and sending live humans to other star systems is even less likely.
Are there any country where medical service is overall good or improving year by year? Maybe there are some ratings already compiled?

I agree with what you mean, but I’d nitpick and say it’s not the code itself that’s the asset, but rather the behaviour of that code when executed. If you could refactor and get the same behaviour with less code (whatever that means), that’d be a net win, right? So the quantity of code is making a negative contribution.
> In this new model for storytelling, volume is more important than quality. If your goal is to gain and keep subscribers, the subscribers must feel they are important to the company. If the company spends time and energy on only certain audiences, the numbers fall, and that company becomes a niche

I don't agree that volume is more important than quality, even if some layers of the industry may act like it is.
I wouldn't invest time and money for a streaming service full of bad content.

If a streaming service is a super market, I will not buy there if it doesn't meet my quality expectations, regardless how many (bad) products it has.

But for sure:

- If I can't do all my shopping in your supermarket but in the supermarket of others, I may rather go there instead.

- If you want to sell me on your new yoghurt you decided to distribute, just putting it on the shelf of all the yoghurts may not be enough to create a blockbuster hit. You will need to reach me outside of the supermarket as well.

- If you used to produce yoghurt and people flocked to your farm or small shop just to buy it, those times have likely changed, yes.
This is wrong with a capital "R". I'm all for productivity tools, but sometimes you have to actually think.
Dunno, the gemini protocol and gemtext format is like the internet equivalent of a 6502. It's extremely approachable to anyone with a basic understanding of programming. Like you could slap together a working client or a server in an afternoon, most likely.

Its built-in limitations also inspires quite a lot of creativity.

Very cool! Excel is underappreciated as a programming environment.

A friend of mine created https://www.molnify.com/ that is something similar.
But that just makes right to work seem even better, EU where workers don't need to pay unions to get rights still pay their unions and are way more willing to join unions. So to me demonising right to work doesn't make sense, California could add those worker protections if they wanted, I see no reason at all why they need workers to give up their rights so that unions can take their money.
Suddenly stopping at high speed is generally considered (at least in the UK) dangerous driving and will get you prosecuted and probably mean you lose your license at the very least. If it results in a death then you can get a life sentence in prison for it.

Intentionally stopping inside a tunnel is a pretty clear cut case of dangerous driving over here.

Disagree.

Glycemic index is vastly different when it’s combined with protein and fat.

It’s not going to have a lot vitamins, but it’s pretty balanced in terms of the carb/protein/fat

> Saving went up because of the lockdowns.

Yes, for those who were able to save money of stimulus checks or whatever instead of having to use them to pay down debt. For those not in that fortunate position... well, 50% of Americans have less than 500$ in savings [1].

> It doesn't come as a surprise that with the decline of the idea that a movie should tell you a story, movies are getting less popular.

Yeah... Disney has mastered the art of making money with (admittedly excellent) special effects. The problem is, they may have lowered the expectations people have for good storytelling - but raised the bar immensely for "acceptable effects". Not every independent movie director has access to people like the VFX dude behind OwlKitty (who does VFX work on scenes of popular movies where he inserts his floofy cat as a character or funny sidekick [1]).

The telecom industry ran into similar issues and developed Erlang.

I think a big takeaway from it is that designing systems which are failure-free is a fool's errant - no matter how hard you try, you can never get rid of 100% of the bugs.

Instead, make it failure-tolerant: sooner or later every part of the system will break, so it should be constructed in such a way that it can gracefully recover from failures, and even operate with some parts of it unavailable. Crashes are expected, so the system is designed to handle them properly.

> It took a bit, but eventually I came to understand that he is so good at reading code that he just wants it all laid out in front of him as densely as possible. He can effectively run it in his head, as long as he can see it.

I've seen this a lot in people with huge working memories. Pointing out that I (and most others) simply can not pile in all of that information at once typically leads to a solution.
It's strange that most of the times, they just confuse me more. I'd prefer just looking at the BNF grammar...
How are they going to rebuild the software without looking at build procedures (in environments where dynamic linking isn't available)?

And even in an environment where dynamic linking is available, something like the Qt runtime is not comparable to the OS itself, which is obviously already installed on all target systems. It's another component that must be installed for the software to work, and as far as I know you're not allowed to distribute it willy-nilly.
It is not about "misinformation": they discuss author's motives that indicates it "us vs. them" mentality and the objective reality/facts be damned.
And tail lights too. Some brands have very bright led stop signals, and you often see them from up close.
The problem comes from having to mentally monitor an additional complex system (the ACC) in exchange for the meager attention savings gleaned from not having to closely adjust distance to the next car. That's "adjust", not "monitor". You'll still need to monitor distance to the next car either way, ACC is no excuse to drift off. For example, my non-Tesla ACC will randomly brake hard with no car ahead.

I personally use my ACC as an extra set of eyes. I set it and still manually adjust my speed using the +spd and -spd buttons on my steering wheel. If the car ahead changes speed and I somehow fail to notice it, my car will give me one more chance by automatically slowing down a bit. But every time that happens I treat it as an "oops" like airplane pilots do when GPWS (ground proximity warning system) alerts fire. It's great that automation averted the problem, but it became a problem due to the pilot's error.
The drivers who crashed were obviously wrong, but stepping on the brakes in a 70+mph tunnel is incredible dangerous. The Tesla created this situation, and holds most of the blame.
there definitely is such a curve. I just can't imagine its optimum is at 5+ seconds between cars, at least at the highway speeds we drive in dense/often congested areas (~60mph / 100kph where I live). Intuitively I'd put it around 3 seconds.
This is certainly not true. I do not know where you get it from, but real brain drain started after transition to a presumably better capitalist democratic system and it happened due to economic reasons. The funding simply went down by orders of magnitude, which made scientific work impossible.

Your personal tourist impressions are not making you closer to understanding of such a big country with such complicated history. Try reading some books if you are really interested.
A good analysis. The stated vigilance problem is well known, actually, but it is ignored, supposedly in the hope that humankind is on a progressive path to fully autonomous self-driving, and that we need this phase of experimentation to advance technology.

Completely autonomous self-driving cars (without any steering wheel, so even incapacitated or clueless people may 'drive' (like drunk or in labour or children)) indeed seem like a good solution. (Except we need less individual traffic for env reasons.) Unfortunately, the problem is very hard, technologically, and the current interim solutions will stay for a while.

To someone not in tech, unlimited PTO sounds like "Wow, that's great, I can take 7 weeks off of work without consequences every year if I felt like it".

In reality: You're judged by what you produce. So, if you take off those 3-4 extra weeks that you might've not otherwise done... you're theoretically 3-4 weeks behind someone else who did not. Then if throw stack ranking into the mix [officially, or via some forced rating distribution], you may be trading for a lower rating for extra vacation.

You want to eliminate the possibility that its all just beauty contests in the context of internal peking order dynamics. Academic style smartness is usually not a good dimension to compete on as it tends to drift into esoteric domains that get disconnected from the objectives of the group.
I guess I wasn't clear. I'm talking about the ability of artists to get funded and the ability to make a living off of it. Maybe also the quality and quantity of new movies or shows.

My belief is that it's easier now than ever to make a movie or TV show by getting a deal with a streaming service. This is in comparison to making a living from the industry that the post is talking about ("hits-based" movie making).

Record stores went out of business when vinyl was replaced by cassettes. Video rental went out of business during the early days of the internet. Brick and mortar music stores declined with the availability of mp3s online. Book stores declined in popularity with the rise of Amazon. So, too, are cinemas declining with the offering of on-demand movies and TV.

I guess your assumption is that small art houses are the drivers of weird, niche culture? I would disagree. The availability of platforms that get media in front of more peoples eyes and the lowering cost of creating and distributing that media are what I would guess as the main benefit of producing weird, niche media.

I love cinemas but the world changes and if their model only exists when the movie industry has a stranglehold on the distribution, then, as much as I hate to see them go, they're just not viable anymore.
They had options in the East Bloc countries too, it was just that they were limited by who you knew rather than how rich you were.

And I totally agree that being at the mercy of someone you have to ask permission, can be every inch as dispiriting being at the mercy of a person who can set a price.
