> I won’t be dragged into the bullshit doomerism and constant shifting existential crises that online and west coasters seem to be addicted to

I was part of this so-called doomerism group when I worked in a more traditional 9-5 job in IT about 8-10 years ago. Now I'm solidly in the homesteader/freelancer/homeschooler counterculture.

Maybe there's a natural progression where you begin to question your life/the system/who you're serving and then you do something about it. I'm sure many people get stuck and never make that transition because of the perceived risk in doing so.
Pushing Interop Forward in 2023
Huh? How does it protect my recipe if somebody takes just the recipe and sticks a different garbage story on the front end? Recipes as intellectual property is a stupid idea in the first place, but this seems like faulty logic here.
Ah, wow, that’s quite an accomplishment while working. I guess it can’t be that then.

I'd agree. Nix feels to me like the Lisp of build systems. Something that's going to be extremely influential but ultimately too flawed for me to want to use in practice. I'm still waiting for the Haskell of build systems.
See the parallel comment to yours. I didn’t mean literally buy a house and open a restaurant. But most zoning has commercial zones near residential zones. Come on, it’s all just sim city.

This is a little off topic, but related. Does anyone know of any tools that would allow information about the size and shape of expected data to be provided along with a database schema so that developers could get instant feedback if queries were likely to perform poorly when run against production data sets. Or to perform poorly when a database grows to beyond a certain size. I have seen many instances of SQL going into production databases that works well for a while, but gets much slower as the database grows.

Sorry, I was specifically asking about fake or unserious degrees, so its not really in line with what I was discussing. However, I would question whether removing Latin or Ancient Greek as a requirement meaningfully lowers the quality of education. I'm not privy to all criteria considered when making that decision, but it seems reasonable on the face of it to me -- removing unneeded requirements that may be a barrier to learning.
Countercultures have always been "cool" - the rejection of the dominant culture is part of their cool factor. Some of the most memorable aspects of recent Western cultural history are counter-cultural: hippies, punks, slackers.

A counterculture isn't defined by whether or not it's considered cool, but by whether or not it is actively participated in and shared among the majority of people. Queer identities may have a lot of public support (and even that's debatable), but queerness is not part of most people's lives. Western societies are still cis- and heteronormative. Queer culture is an other, not the mainstream.

IT is cyclical, there can be periods when it's harder to get work.

I started in Y2k, so internet bubble burst when I had only 1 year experience, then in 2008, I'd just switched from J2me to python before everything got tricky.

Both times had about a year out of work, it can be very boom and bust.
Risk of fraud. Moving the money is not expensive, but if a $10k transaction turns out to be fraudulent then you're on the line for a big chunk of money. If you know your fraud rate is ~1%, then if you charge 1.5% on all transactions then over enough transactions you can cover the fraudulent ones and have some profit left over.
That's a good observation, though I'm not sure it's just a matter of longer range correlations, i.e. fixable by merely adding more computational power. The truth problem is fundamentally different than what those neural networks are trying to solve. We got the learning part almost right, we have made no progress towards understanding.

I might be completely off the mark, my knowledge of AI is very limited. But earlier today, while reading on Lisp's history and it's demise during the AI Winter, I very much enjoyed a Wikipedia article describing how symbolic AI, the main paradigm of AI research from the 60s to the 2000s, solves a completely different problem than the currently hyped neural networks—which are very good at learning, but not much more. We might need a complementary, unifying model of both approaches to reach AGI.

I haven't see any project which feels fast which are written in React. But most important thing for me which is broken (because it is too difficult to catch all edge cases) in all the JS frontends is the broken navigation (browser's back and forward almost never work as expected, bookmarking links are broken because state is in JS etc.)
>> LGBTQ is a minority

Nope. The number of letters keeps increasing as more people are brought in. In schools these days it's trendy to be anything but straight.
But it's not really even (or just) that; Muslims (in general obviously) have their own view on what Islam is and is not, and this may not jibe with Muslims from other parts of the world. A prime example is Ahmadiyyas; they consider themselves to be Muslims but in particular some of the harder line Muslims (for example some Wahhabists) would consider them to be heretical. And hence some would argue that they are breaching the Blasphemy law.
I think it's just as strong on both sides, the difference is intention and outcomes. The right uses this to reinforce their own power. The left uses it to try and correct injustices but ends up creating problems because of it.

Take a look at feminism for example. It started as "hey women should have equal rights", which is good. But now we see far too many people treating men as a monolith and demonizing them. So now we have a narrative that women = good, and men = bad. I see this all the time on social media from the left and it has to stop. Male suicide rates are far too high right now, and I partly blame this narrative and the lack of nuance that caused it.
I suspect theres also a halo effect.

This is over-simplified: the overhead of an abstraction can be cancelled out by work or optimizations which you wouldn't have done without the abstraction. As a simple example, most Python programs are faster than the C code the same developer would have written in the same time because they have a rich library of optimized code and getting it working quickly means that they had more time to focus on algorithm-level improvements. That of course doesn't mean that a C programmer can't beat it in performance but once you're past very simple examples those abstractions are harder to beat than they might seem — I've seen multiple cases where someone thought they could do that and wasted days (or in one case, months) only to eke out less than a 10% improvement.

In this case, React is slow and memory hungry because when you make a change you go through this process:

1. Update some value

2. … triggering updates to the virtual DOM

3. … requiring it to caluclate the difference between the real DOM and the virtual DOM

4. … and finally apply the changes to the real DOM

That abstraction requires substantial extra state to be stored and managed. If you have a different abstraction which directly manages the DOM, you can avoid steps 2 and 3. The big question is a) does your code do enough manipulation for this to be noticeable? (React is less slow than it used to be but I've seen 4 order of magnitude deltas in optimized React code so it's not uncommon to see it chug with large pages, especially on older hardware like a lot of the public uses) and b) does that other abstraction have drawbacks for your developers which cost you more than the performance savings?
I just want to know how much Gatsby was acquired for ? ;)
I don't think that many junior/early mid React developers know that the whole tree gets re-rendered.

Those that do, I don't think they fully understand when and where to `useMemo` and `useCallback` to optimize. It tends to get overused or used in a way that doesn't actually memoize the parts of the component that doesn't change.

Then adding in state management only makes it more complicated in some cases depending on the state paradigm.

It's a mystery that React is as prevalent as it is given how hard it is to actually do well. I think Solid.js and Vue have a much cleaner paradigm as far as re-renders goes (with React being explicit opt-out and Solid and Vue being opt-in).
Maybe, and this might be confusing, folks didn't always work where they do today, and have experiences based on "I don't have money but I work on a project with 5 others that the world seems to use a ton, but no one's paying for". "A team" and "a business" are not the same. Running a business? Pay for team tier. Open source project that just has more than 2 people organized in a team? I'll let you think of that one.

And of course, "it's open source, just install it on your own host" is a perfectly valid response, but "you have money, what are you complaining about" is maybe a little ridiculous given that people can voice concerns for an entire class of folks, not just themselves. $50 is a lot of money for a lot of folks in open source.

Above thread summarizes the issue pretty well I think. Optimizing for DOM updates is nice, but you also want to optimize for bundle size and page load time, and at a certain app size the compiler output is always going to be bigger than just using a virtual DOM.
When the difference of opinion involves the minimization to the point of eradication of specific groups within society, most of which are predisposed to oppose the political views you hold, then there is No Other Term for it than Naziism.

Not everyone I disagree with is a nazi, but everyone who wants all queer people to stop being publicly visible, everyone who would rather immigrants, muslims, and jews to stop coming to the country or become invisible in daily life, anyone who would think about the problems that disabled people have and come to the 'solution' that they should not reproduce? They're Nazis. To call them anything else would do the memories of those already lost a disservice.

And those who buck at being called Nazis should genuinely detach and reexamine their views to see whether they resemble those of the Nazi party. If they don't, if the people calling them Nazis are simply being reactionary, then fine. But to ignore it without giving the most basic consideration to one's own views is deeply foolhardy at best.

Consider for yourself what you term as 'degenerate', and whether those things have any material impact on your life. Consider what solutions that are non-authoritarian for that degeneracy may look like. Is it offering better mental health services? Is it providing community that doesn't shun, but helps rehabilitate maladaptive practices? Is it allowing general differences of opinion on what counts and doesn't count as degenerate behavior? Is it minding your own goddamn business?
Because you can't just strap a nuke to a pylon, pull the safety pin from the fuze and fly off into the sunset in your cowboy hat.

I'll believe BLM is mainstream culture when people of color aren't being disproportionately killed by police.

Until then, if police forces are upholding a mainstream concept of law and order resulting in said disproportionality, BLM is countercultural.

Otherwise, if acknowledging the aims of basically what's a human rights movement via flags and spots on AP tests constitutes inclusion into mainstream culture, then the mainstream culture is absurd and perverse.
I’m the opposite. If there is a well written app on iOS or iPadOS, I’ll use it for the increased privacy protections, lower battery and CPU usage and (sometimes) lower bandwidth consumption.

IMHO, mobile operating systems have gotten better than legacy desktop operating systems in a bunch of key areas. But of all the platforms, the web is the worst one. The web has tracking everywhere and often uses a lot of CPU, memory, battery, and bandwidth.
Document fragments are like transactions for the DOM. Alternatively you could just learn which Dom operations force a layout shift and batch those.
