I'm not talking about the HD running on startup... It runs when the browser is not doing anything at all, for stunningly long periods of time... There is no way that much data could be loading into RAM.

Chrome also used to do this under a separate process called "Software Quality Monitor", but now it does not show in task manager as a separate process.

I'm not hallucinating nor BS-ing, it's a real thing.
Very difficult the way you’re describing it but there is an easy-ish approach: take a UK based job with an American company (e.g: Facebook) and then after you’ve worked there for a couple of years, ask to relocate to the US. There’s a special visa for that situation (L-1) which is very attainable and provides a path to citizenship.
That's kind of a philosophical question no? Is being able to model an analog behavior accurately the same thing as the analog behavior itself? While we know from math there's an equivalence / bounded error rate, it certainly seems like emulation in the digital domain is far more power intensive which would indicate that it's not the thing itself. A clearer example is photon collisions. Simulating that behavior on a computer is not the same thing as colliding the photons. Could be wrong though.
The immigration stats for 2022 are skewed by Ukrainian refugees and HKers fleeing to UK.

Still, there must be many reasons why asylum seekers in Calais are trying to get to the UK, when they passed through a number of EU countries first.

> Even SolidJS hasn't quite crept the performance Inferno has managed to achieve.

I see Solid to the left of Inferno in that benchmark, though they are very close indeed. Solid's code looks weird in its own ways I guess, but it looks less hacky/hand-optimized to me.

Inferno seems to use less memory though, which seems interesting. Solid isn't fully memory optimized though, it could beat Inferno with more memory optimizations potentially.
Replying to myself to continue this ridiculous story:
Part II:

Any check-ins (apart from the senior 2 developers) went via a code review from one sarcastic guy. He would pick up on use of std algorithms and was in general very very picky. And extremely sarcastic.

The "management" staff weren't developers but promised things to customers and so the only question you would ever be asked is "is it done yet?". Any explanation of where you were or issues was met with "so is it not done then?" and then being told to speak to the way-too-busy top senior developer. The "manager" would ask you to assist with colleagues, eg. "You know about Visual Studio don't you? So-and-so is having difficulty" even though so-and-so was working on a web project in a completely different language to you, whilst you worked on desktop software in C++....

They had a non-software-developer team of "designers" who would "design" things and then give some paragraph of "design" to you, which you had to estimate, and then about 9 months later you'd get the work to do but were held to the estimate. Any extra time involved asking the managing director for more time and justification for wanting more time. He was in a city the other side of the country.

Any bugs that came in had 4 hours to find and fix, and any amount of this time (up to the 4 hours) would be taken up by the support staff (who were sadly not knowledgeable about many things) "triaging", eg. an issue with database connectivity would have them suggesting adding a row to the database.... They lacked basic troubleshooting skills. Any more time you needed had to go via the managing director for permission, and then he would refer to the most senior developer because the managing director was not a software developer...

You had to write "programmer notes" for the wiki detailing what you wrote and why so that in future developers could refer to them - nobody did because they just looked at the mound of code when they were assigned work. The programmer notes were often copied and pasted by the "QA" department into release notes, which meant the release notes included internal programmer notes and details.

The "QA" department didn't understand how the software worked and despite being there for 13 years still had to get the single-person "IT" guy to do things like add in an ODBC connection to a database. They had to "test" things that they didn't understand - they had the programmer notes and "design" to refer to, but had no understanding of where it fitted into the grand scheme of things.
Well, if the bulk of the "value" of your page is the garbage story, it protects the bulk of the value just fine....
I'd argue this is essentially just an optimized (and therefore potentially more buggy) virtual dom.

Svelte is being smart and skipping comparisons in the places it knows the result is static. That's nifty. But it also means you have to depend on svelte getting it right every time, in all scenarios.

Long term - I think this is probably the right approach, but it feels very similar to the -03 c++ optimization flag: There was a fairly long period where enabling that flag was considered risky. Each extra transformation carries opportunities for bugs.

It also means extra work at code generation time - it's building a vdom engine specific to your template (again - this is nifty!). Probably not a huge deal, since js build tooling is seeing a LOT of focus on speed, but it's there.
Is there a typical limit to number of features (that have almost nothing to do with each other/very little correlation) you can add to a basic "hack it together real quick from Google/copy paste/tutorials" Python neural network before the results are pretty bleh?
There are 12 catobar carriers in existence at the moment, 11 operated by the US Navy. (Soon to be 13 with the Chinese Fujian carrier entering the mix.) Maybe the UK would've gotten their act together and fitted catobar on the Queen Elizabeths if the F-35B didn't exist, but for the most part I think this is indicative of the challenge of putting together the hardware to launch/recover modern fighter aircraft at sea.

The F-35B may have started as a Marines ask, but it seems to have become an export success with countries that aren't really up to footing the costs for catobar-capable flat-tops for modern fighter aircraft during peacetime, e.g. the UK, Japan, Italy, Korea, potentially Spain.

The Marines have also been exploring the F-35B in austere basing, EABO conops, airborne amphibious ops, etc., so it's not just carrier ops.

It has been a lead weight on the JSF development project, for sure, but the F-35B does seem to provide an intriguing capability now that it's a thing. I'm also not convinced that a dedicated STOVL project would've given a more suitable plane -- it really seems like you would want the whole stealth + advanced sensor/avionics package on your jump jet to meet needs like naval LHD-borne fixed-wing AEW/air interceptor/task group anti-air range extender, airborne amphibious ops CAS, etc. Owing to the difficulties encountered by the JSF in supporting the F-35B, I doubt it's going to be succeeded by another platform for a very long time.
If someone says that the phrase 'some people are smarter than others' is racist, that's specifically them being racist, (as they're the ones who brought race into it in their own mind) not the speaker of the phrase.
Mumble is a much better experience than Teamspeak, at least in my experience.
Signaling. He’s signaling, I’m friendly, competent, and dumb. Then he gets you for the tire warranty at signing. All customers want to, must, feel superior to auto salespeople. (Who are doing $50k deals on a daily basis.) They can figure out if you’re a cash customer (unfavorable to them, must get a higher price) even if you’re trying to hide the fact.
Not so easy unfortunately.

1. BeginUpdate stops a control from repainting itself and that is what browser is doing already - no painting happens at the moment of JS execution. So primitive "postpone painting" does not really help.

2. element.update(callback) or DOM.mutate(root,callback) shall be a single method - no one wants EndUpdate() calls to be skipped because of errors thrown and the like.
I disagree that "trads" are counter-culture, just looking at the numbers that is pretty ridiculous. But you could consider the more extreme groups counter culture, like alt-right, q-anon, incels, 8-chan or wherever they are now. They are the worst of course, but I think they fit the description.
Redwood is super cool and if you're a startup and just getting moving, Redwood is a pretty logical choice.

However, its not grasped nearly the same mindshare as Remix, let alone Next.js, and its arguably superior to Remix at least
Go look at the sun
Can you give an example as to what you mean please?
As someone who did some work on Starsailor's avionics, and was quite involved in the rover club (not the rocket project). I can attest the chinese government isn't helping Space Concordia. I think the main point here is that this rocket is built by students, not some private company with a ton of investor funding bringing in top talent. It's just some students that are passionate about their big rocket.

> Why couldn't its WASM parser pull out the same information

There's currently no standard. If there's a will, there's a way.

JSON+LD is the standard for JavaScript based metadata.
I think you don’t understand the what constitutes flawed logic. If gave a counterexample to the statement: Everyone can learn college algebra. Therefore this statement is not true.

We are then left we needing to modify the statement. What is true is the following: Some people, but not everyone, can learn college algebra.

This is an uncomfortable statement for a lot of people because the inevitable follow up is: Who can and who can’t learn college algebra?. Relatedly, one must confront the idea that not everyone is college material. Maybe too many people are going to college and this is why so many in college are struggling in basic courses. I could go on.

Your post appears naive in that you don’t seem to have thought through the implications of the idea that not everyone can learn college algebra.
You can also just look at how many developers it took to build similar programs, native and cross-platform, in, say, the 90s and early 00s. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of them had smaller teams for all platforms combined than Discord has for its single desktop client. Yet one would hope we've gotten more efficient at software development since then, and the entire excuse for using things like Electron is supposed to be that it saves a whole bunch of developer hours—but then you look at how tiny teams were on some of even the fairly-big programs back then, and all our "more-correct" processes and technologies start to look pretty damn suspect.
You lose all client-side performance benefits if the components are only on the server. Ideally, you would improve the performance of hydration or only hydrate when necessary.
>LGBTQ is a minority

I mean yes, physically they are a minority. Culturally, they are incredibly mainstream. There are examples everywhere.

There are tons of big movies and TV shows featuring gay people coming out.

_Every_ company changes their logo during pride month.

Look at the Apple Watch or iPhone, they come preloaded with Pride wallpapers and watch faces, they produce pride bands for the watch, which sell very well.

Disneyland has Gay Days.

Defcon has a massive attached event called Queercon that dwarfs all other subcons.

Googlers who are gay are called Gayglers.

So many famous actors and politicians are openly gay.

Biden literally just did a major interview in the Whitehouse with a TikToker who's only claim to fame was making videos about becoming trans.

I could list SO many more examples of this everywhere in our culture, and these are random things I could think of off the top of my head, but they are decent examples of culture I think.

I don't have a problem with any of this, I think it's great.
But there is absolutely no way you can claim that this is not the mainstream now.

It sounds like you consider talking about trads that way to be dangerous, like it might bring them back or something.

True, but in this case it absolutely is.
I good parallel might be database development, the difference between taking a cursor and looping through to make changes vs a set based operation that understands how to specify all the needed changes at once.
That seems like a lot of work
In more cases than not I've noticed the choice of single page app itself is pure overhead.

SPA technology brings some key advantages but also a whole new realm of cost and complexity. It's my experience that SPA popularity has convinced many folks to use it when they really don't have a practical reason to justify it.
I'll second this, I've also seen a lot of people that like to brag about, e.g. working 80 hour weeks, but usually don't actually do much work. At any given moment they're likely talking to someone, or playing on a phone, etc.

As a single dad of a young child, and an academic, this is just impossible for me. I have a few precious hours to work, and need to get the most out of them. I end up being pretty socially isolated at work.

I don't agree with the "you might as well forget about it" thing you wrote. Funding in academia is about explaining why what you want to do actually furthers the agenda of the funding agency. If you can master this skill, you can fund almost any work from almost any funding source. It might sound dishonest, but I am convinced it's actually not- the phenomena in our natural world are all connected, and we don't understand them that well. To solve almost any random problem deeply requires work that translates to fundamental advances in almost everything else. Norbert Wiener explains this well in his book Cybernetics, where he talks about how work on missile guiding technology led to his concept of cybernetics, which was a revolutionary way to understand both engineering and biology.

It's a surprising thing, in that Russia should be hurt worse than it is by sanctions.

As for the UK economy, it's hard to draw reliable, direct connections to Brexit. Everybody expected some downturn, but it's hard to distinguish this specific level of downturn from all of the other things going on in the UK economy. Natural gas prices have hit the UK hard; unemployment has had a hard time matching workers to openings. That may be due to Brexit, or it may be due to pre-existing conditions and the management of the current government.

So it's a bad thing, but it's not necessarily helpful to just say "It's Brexit's fault" -- even if it is. You can't reverse Brexit any time soon. The conditions on the ground are what they are. The real problem is that these conditions were years and decades in the making -- not just Brexit -- and will not yield to short-term fixes.
Yup, they decided that two years ago:

Finding a result on Google, clicking on it, then leaving and clicking something else on Google means you probably didn't find the thing you were looking for. Staying on one site for a while probably means you found what you were using for. Presumably Google uses this information to try to determine if you engaged with the site, and then it ranks sites that you stay on longer higher in search results.

This works great for things like StackOverflow posts where you can quickly judge if the answer is correct, and if it's not, you can quickly bounce. It's not great for recipes, which are almost always "correct" (in that they are a recipe of the type you're looking for), so spending longer probably just means you scrolled for longer.
Some people don't want to live in the US.
You know where the truly poor come from? They come from the "slightly better off poor".

Creating a potentially ruinous expense that will occasionally be used to occasionally knock people in the latter group down to the former is anything but progressive and probably not good from a societal POV.
I take “pure overhead” to mean a cost with literally no benefit. To me that just makes it sound like Svelte is being pushed by idiots, because clearly there’s a substantial benefit (regardless of whether or not VDOM is an optimal strategy).

From the end of this article:
“Virtual DOM is valuable because it allows you to build apps without thinking about state transitions, with performance that is generally good enough. That means less buggy code, and more time spent on creative tasks instead of tedious ones.“

Okay great, it’s not pure overhead.

Isn’t svelte essentially just a cached vdom or do I have the wrong mental model
They give you really nice incremental builds out of the box, which are particularly easy to set up with gatsby cloud (the actual purchase here). Their abstractions are more opinionated, but a lot more "just works" off the shelf with configuration instead of coding.

Yes, please do talk about how reactive programming sucks. Because I've come to believe it's absolutely mandatory for keeping an advanced UI performant, mostly bug-free, and limited in technical debt. Absolutely mandatory. And yet I agree: it sucks. It sucks donkey balls. Why does this absolutely critical technology suck so much?
Abdul Salam was neither exiled nor did he face prosecution. Let's not get sensationalist. He left Pakistan long before the official moves against Ahmadis, and the reasons for his leaving were mundane: Petty politics at the university in Pakistan.
Yeah this is all making me wonder why we're looking for a singular dominant culture to which there are one or more counter-cultures.

Pretty sure one of the canonized characteristics of post-modernity (or the post-cold war era if you dont like pretentious art terms) is pluralism.

This spicy thread seems to reinforce the feeling that the dominant culture has (and maybe always was) some horrifying unknowable ever-changing organic mass of competing counter-cultures.

Paraphrasing some dead social philosopher, history and cultures aren't bedtime stories or cartoon characters and we create dangerous false narratives, policies and hierarchies when we indulge the impulse to reduce them into these.
I liked the following article on the UK's terminal decline.

The future is bleak for Britain with it's zombie government and feckless opposition, both devoid of ideas.

Hey folks, I'm looking for a new mission to go on.

I was the head of devrel and strategy at DigitalOcean from 10 to 200 employees, and later worked on smart cities. Industry agnostic, however, most of my experience is in selling software (developer tools/GovTech). I'm curious to learn more about venture capital and am always happy to work around helping founders.

I'm well versed in go-to-market, marketing and strategy. I'm also very open to exploring something along the lines of a Chief of Staff/Biz Ops.

Although the company size doesn't particularly matter to me: I enjoy early-stage startups.

I'm happy to relocate for the right opportunity, although remote would be ideal. Canada, the USA, or South Korea are all possibilities, Canada, UK, and South Korea would not require any visas.

Thanks!
The simplest online business to start is making plugins/addons for other big softwares like wordpress/shopify/saleforce/atlassian products etc. We easy to start with and help you in developing coding/deployment/marketing/sales chops. Once you are comfortable start a SaaS and then marketplace.

People starting marketplace as first business are just delusional.
