> You can solve almost all of those problems more easily by improving road design with knowledge we already have.

Sure, to some extent. The knowledge we already have about how to prevent e.g. cars killing children, pedestrians, and cyclists is that you slow them down (and separate them which also typically involves taking space from cars to make room). But as seen above in this thread, that kind of thing meets opposition from people who say you're "making good things in life shittier".

> the areas where it't uneconomical or otherwise unfeasible to run rails.

If you've never done this, I suggest taking a look at old maps of the US's passenger rail network. We had a lot more rail in the past than we do now.
> Any time I hear these kinds of reasonings the question comes to mind: if some distributions of currency are preferable to others, and we know what such distributions look like, why not let the government do the distribution directly?

Because this presumes that the people in government will do what is preferable to the masses. My conception of government is that of a tool or weapon that various powers vie for control over. Why should I expect benevolence from such?
It's not that it's an unpopular position, it's that the argument is flawed and the point you're trying to make falls flat. First, you lump all of queer culture into one group, a false categorization without which your augment fails. Second, you assert that being in the overwhelmingly dominant racial group, the overwhelmingly dominant sexual orientation and the undeniably dominant gender should somehow be interpreted at "counterculture" even though the group that fits that definition is numerically larger, wealthier, and politically empowered than any other group.

So if you get downvotes, it may be because you made a bad argument, not just because you come off as having an axe to grind.

It's just Trad Counter Culture! /s

There's an even worse comment, IMO, in this thread that's near the top voted response to the Trad Counter Culture nonsense.
Unfortunately a good one can work well even if you don't work in a profession for looks. Its the angel bias...people that are merely competent and look really nice often get promotions over someone who absolutely excels at their job but looks average/below average. A headshot is a way of framing yourself to look better than you actually do, and can have some genuine uses in that way.
There's no real benchmark for developer experience. Performance only matters up to a point. And it depends what you're building. If you're building pages where people just read content - sure - server render + vanilla js it. If you're building something more interactive where you think you'll have greater than 50k lines of JS prepare for pain.

Last note - picking the right tool for the job is a quote we repeat often in the industry, realistically though that sort of optimization actually makes it harder to reason about writing code especially in a large org. The great thing about these frameworks is that it's a single way to build and you get server and client rendering. I remember back in the day folks would ask "how do you build a page here" and it would kill me to say "it depends I have 10 questions for you"

The translation layer of calling a web assembly function from javascript is a bit heavy, at the moment. And you have concerns around modeling a flat memory space with pointers, so it can be greedy on memory use. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if this is where the industry moves 5-10 years

Zod has the same "simultaneously create schema and types and the process of doing so is pleasant" feature, it's just not using JSON Schema for it (and has more power than JSON schema does).

In the Zod world, if you need JSON Schema to e.g. communicate to the outside world, you can extract it from the Zod schema with https://github.com/StefanTerdell/zod-to-json-schema -- but if you don't, you don't.

JSON Schema is kind of underpowered for real validation, so if you limit yourself to it, then you'll just have a another round of validation immediately after. TypeBox'
s CreateType seems to be the same idea, it cannot be expressed in just JSON Schema.

> improving road design with knowledge we already have.

Smaller roads with fewer lanes and lower speeds are very unpopular among car enthusiasts.

> Figure out how to get trains to operate everywhere instead of only on fixed routes

Cars can't operate everywhere so this is a unrealistic requirement in the first place.

> Do the environmental math on that -- how full does a bus need to be before the pollution per passenger is better than a compact car with one passenger? How about a compact car with four passengers?

Assuming a 1 person/car with a average 19mpg, and a average bus 6.2mpg, you need 3.06 people on a bus before it breaks even.

If you can have 4 people on a compact car with four passengers, you can have a bus with 3 people on it.

For the Shuttle to be cancelled by politicians is one thing; that's just democracy in action. For the Shuttle to fail under its own weight is quite another; that's technical and organizational failure. The latter reflects poorly on the politicians who oversaw it and the country generally. It would have been a bad look for Carter's legacy, whether or not he hated NASA.
Hopefully they got a good deal! Personally I don’t understand the value proposition.

I would have preferred more support for 11ty or SolidStart since they employ the creators of those two frameworks already.
It's sort of interesting for them to point this out. This is also why the Titan IV program came into being. The Space Shuttle simply not being available meant that it was needed to develop an equivalent unmanned lift vehicle. I think the same museum even has some stuff from a Titan IV on display

The covid shots were quickly rolled out because of the emergency use authorizations which exempt the manufacturers and providers from safety regulations and liability. It's not a fair market when a favored industry can provide products without liability. That would be like an airplane manufacture not caring if the planes are unsafe.

Full stack engineer with about 9 years of experience. I'm interested in solving hard problems and would love to help build creative and beautiful solutions. Machine learning, optimization, and games are three particular points of interest, but working with functional languages is always a plus.

I'm a fast learner and interested in pushing my boundaries. I'd love to be the least experienced person in the room - more opportunity for learning!

I'm self-taught and my degree is in philosophy, which I like to think leaves me in a good position to think creatively about problems and to communicate well.

And you think weapon manufacturers are sincerely concerned about discrimination and human rights in general?

Mainstream culture has been co-opting countercultures since decades. There are even words like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinkwashing_(LGBT) and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenwashing.

Music genres like punk, rock, rap etc have been watered down in the same way. And many other things.

That's the opposite of going mainstream.

Graphistry | Security data scientist, Senior security Python/SIEM solutions engineer, Lead platform engineer (remote) | Hybrid remote - Australia + US | NV1/2 Clearance sponsored | Above-market pay

Graphistry is the first visual graph AI platform. Investigation teams use us to analyze cyber security alerts, fraud, misinformation, and other data intensive problems. We are a small team that tripled last year and are looking for teammates to help us triple again this year as we work with enterprise and government teams on their important missions. Graphistry is known for having helped start the GPU dataframe community, including what is now Nvidia RAPIDS and Apache Arrow (JS tier), and we are active in technologies like automl for graph neural networks.

We are looking for three openings:

* Senior SIEM solutions engineer (hybrid remote: Canberra/Sydney): Help build, launch, and develop GPU AI SOCs that augment Splunk with the Graphistry Python ecosystem and enabled use cases. NV2 clearance sponsorable.

* Senior security data scientist (remote or hybrid, US or Australia): Similar to above, and focus on GNNs, UMAP, and various graph AI use cases & methods. Must be familiar with security incident response data & practices. Sponsorae for NV1+ clearance. If US, likely Secret+, and DC preferred. Split between working with above teams and contributing back to our core platform. Potential to assist or lead DARPA etc special projects.

* Senior platform engineer (remote): Help take our visual graph AI GPU platform global and be a player/coach for our growing engineering team. Work closely with our technology partners like Nvidia, enterprise & government customers, engineering team, AI + field staff, and CEO.

Résumé/CV: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nicholasbsavage/
Email: nick@nicksavage.ca

I am a CPA (former auditor!) who is now a developer, working as a consultant for two firms. I'm mostly looking for part time work. One of the projects I'm involved with now is winding down and I will have about 10 hours a week open starting in the next few weeks.

Right now my main role is working at a large finance company transforming their business processes with code, and sitting between the accounting department and developers to try and move things in a sensible direction. I'm part project manager part business analyst.

I'm looking to get involved in some interesting work where my skills might be of use. I currently code mostly in an in-house functional language the firm developed based on D, but I'm adept with python as well. I've built internal tools, such as a library for automating financial reporting, some basic CRUD web interfaces for managing data, I built a REST API to serve up some finance data for the rest of the firm, etc.

Here's the sort of things I might be able to help out with:

- I can speak both the business language and the tech language. I can help manage and lead projects while understanding the tech side of things

- Advise on improving your operations

- Typical accounting work, like month end closes, financial statements, bookkeeping, analysis, etc. (The advantage here for me would be that I'd like to automate as much as possible, where the typical accountant might not have the skills for that)

- Help put business processes and logic into code

- Make business problems go away (compliance, tax, paperwork type stuff, etc)

- Liason with external accountants, tax people, etc

It is a minority, but if I go into work and announce that I am trans and will now be transitioning and my name is now X, people will fall all over themselves be supportive and congratulating me. It literally happened recently when Chris became Christina at my work. But, if I come in and announce that I have decided to become Catholic or Evangelical or Mormon there will be a lot of awkward silence with maybe some "okaaaaayyy, anyway, let's continue with the planning for the next project..."
I think you're onto something, but you're missing a really key point of what makes a counterculture.

Consider the 'culture'. Whose side is the balance of power really behind? There are massive influences and money behind traditional christian and conservative values - they have a practical stranglehold on the politics of roughly half of America (by landmass). Is it really 'counter' the culture to embody those values in areas where they are the norm?

I think we don't have 'a' counterculture because we don't have 'a' culture, a unified one, in this country. Trad is as counterculture in California as radical queer/left ideology is in Alabama, and it gets muddier when you look at individual pockets of the opposite in rural areas or cities respectively.

If anything, this cultural split over core values would make anything else - 'radical centrism' for instance - a counterculture in and of itself; except, that tends to be the tack taken by a lot of media (NPR, Meet the Press, etc.). Can that be counterculture?

Alternatively, consider outside of mainstream politics. Co-op organizations, hacker/DIY circles, and protest movements are all certainly 'counter' the norm, but do they all have their own 'culture?' At best they have shared memes, no real ideological unity or even goddang clothing preferences.
