Just don't be an idiot like me, have your credit card at the same bank that you have your bank account at.

Then have someone steal your card info, spend lots of money, and then use the vast legal resources of eBay to fight your fraud claim with piles of paperwork.

I've found the fraud protection of CC quite lacking. Bank puts up no real fight to the counterparty appeal of the charge back and then you're fucked, especially if the bank already has your assets. In my case the appeal was from some guy with literally 'pirateArrrggh' in his email address and they stated it absolutely must have been me. My bank literally laughed at me and insinuated I was a fraud for daring to claim I couldn't have been the buyer of religious and women's beauty products as a straight atheist man.

> In practice, they are wildly overused, largely (IMHO) because front-end developers have forgotten how to build without them.

I've been a "back-end" developer who sometimes does "front-end" stuff for a long time. Both with web tech going back to classic asp, web-forms and those Java beans for JSF or whatever it was called, and, with various gui-tools for C#, Java and Python, and I think one of the reasons people use the "front-end" tools you're talking about in 2023 is because all those other tools really sucked.

I guess NextJS can also be server side rendering, but even when you just use it for React (with Typescript and organisation-wide linting and formating rules that can't be circumvented) it's just sooooo much easier than what came before it.

Really, can you think of a nice application? Maybe it's because I've mostly worked in Enterprise organisations, but my oh my am I happy that I didn't have to work with any of the things people who aren't in digitalisation have to put up with. I think Excel is about the only non-web-based application that I've ever seen score well when they've been ranked. So there is also that to keep in mind.
We are just about starting out with my company and I've literally just made our live analytics public at https://analytics.moonka.space - it's literally everything we see.

We are using Plausible.io (kudos to them!), a privacy-first analytics platform that provides just enough data without abusing our users' data. This way, we don't even have to show a cookie notice.

I'm planning to open up our financial details as well as soon as we have enough transactions so that our clients can't be identified based on our data.

The question is who gets to decide that a given expenditure is an R&E expenditure. The way the law is written (even with the TCJA amendment) sounds to me as if the taxpayer makes this determination. Why would a taxpayer make such a determination? Presumably for the R&D credit.

I still do not see any clear indication that a taxpayer is required to consider any expenditures as R&E expenditures, though the new clause about software is ... troubling.

I just started playing around with it after fumbling around with Vue for a bit. I really like that there is so much less magic involved, no getting lost in a twisty maze of proxies. A real breath of fresh air. But then I haven't done real frontend development since JSPs were hot, so I'm not sure my liking it is a good thing.
If there's anything I've learned from using Google projects it's this: It's not going to get fixed.

It almost doesn't matter what it is.

If you've used any Google OSS project seriously you're going to come across an obvious defect and run to GitHub to open an issue. But, there's already an open issue for the problem.. And it's been open for almost as long as the project has existed.

It will have an inscrutable priority and day after day new comments will pop up saying "Hey, I'm having this issue too. Can I contribute a fix?" But, a pull request with a fix has sat, unreviewed, for almost as long as the issue has been open.

And then it comes: "This issue has been automatically closed due to inactivity."

> If you're employed "at will" (and almost everyone in the US is) you can't refuse "promotions." From the company's perspective they are deciding to no longer employ you for position a, but they are simultaneously offering to employ you for position b. You can take it or leave it.

That's not correct. Being employed at will means that you _can_ be let go for refusing a promotion (or just about any other reason) but it doesn't mean that automatically happens. There are plenty of companies that understand that some people reach a point where they don't care about climbing the ladder anymore and don't want to take on more responsibility.

But if I just look at it and say, if 10 years from now, we have ‘universal remote employees’ that are artificial general intelligences, run on clouds, and people can just dial up and say, ‘I want five Franks today and 10 Amys, and we’re going to deploy them on these jobs,’ and you could just spin up like you can cloud-access computing resources, if you could cloud-access essentially artificial human resources for things like that—that’s the most prosaic, mundane, most banal use of something like this."

So, slavery?
I started my webdev time with Django and flask, switched to Spring boot at the next job with various templating languages, depending on the artefact and some laravel sprinkled in.

Finally, the employer decreed that moving forward all frontends had to be done in Angular (version 6 or 7 at that time) and I have to say... I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

The frontend stacks aren't particularly more complex then the equivalent application done with html templates and varying ways to update the DOM.

Personally I'd say they're easier, which is why UX also started to demand state changes to be animated etc, requests to be automatically retried and handle every potential error scenario, which was never even attempted with pure backend websites

Nowadays I prefer using Typescript for anything html related and would not use backend templates unless the website is not going to be interactive

> Compatibility is higher with server-side rendering because, again, the HTML is generated on the server, so it is not dependent on the end browser.

Excuse my bluntness, but this is complete nonsense. Browser incompatibility in 2023 is mostly limited, in my experience, to 1) dark corners of CSS behavior, and 2) newer, high-power features like WebRTC. #1 is going to be the same regardless of where your HTML is rendered, and if you're using #2, server-side rendering probably isn't an option for what you're trying to do anyway. I can confidently say browser compatibility has roughly zero effect on core app logic or HTML generation today.

> Complexity is lower because the server does most of the work of generating the HTML so can often be implemented with a simpler and smaller codebase.

This, again, is totally hand-wavy and mostly nonsensical. It's entirely dependent on what kind of app, what kind of features/logic it has, etc. Server-rendering certain apps can definitely be simpler than client-rendering them! And the opposite can just as easily be true.

> Performance is higher with the server because the HTML is already generated and ready to be displayed when the page is loaded.

This is only partly true, and it's really the only partly-valid point. Modern statically-rendered front-ends will show you the initial content very quickly, and then will update quickly as you navigate, but there is a JS loading + hydration delay between seeing the landing page content and being able to interact with it at the beginning. You certainly don't need "a desktop...with a wired internet connection" for that part of the experience to be good, but I'm sure it's less than ideal for people with limited bandwidth. It's something that can be optimized and minimized in various ways (splitting code to make the landing page bundle smaller, reducing the number of nested components that need to be hydrated, etc), but it's a recurring challenge for sure.

The tech being demonstrated here is interesting, but I wish they'd let it stand on its own instead of trying to make sweeping statements about the next "tock" of the web trend. As the senior dev trope goes, the answer to nearly everything is "it depends". It shows immaturity or bias to proclaim that the future is a single thing.
I don't understand the reasoning why the transformation directly on the source code is better than on the AST level?

Because you can use coding and then it's somewhat automatic?

But you can do sth similar on AST level, namely installing a meta path finder, i.e. an import module hook which does the AST transformation automatically (https://docs.python.org/3/library/sys.html#sys.meta_path).

Then, there is also the new frame evaluation API (https://peps.python.org/pep-0523/), which allows you to dynamically rewrite bytecode. This has been used by PyTorch 2.0 for torch.compile.
I had an idea a few years ago around anonymity, but now it seems even more possible with things like billion parameter LLMs. A service where you enter text that you want to post on Reddit/Twitter/etc. but you instead give it to your locally-running model, which is trained to output the text with the following transformations:

1. Writing style change
2. Degree of extra/reduced fluff
3. Degree of typos
4. Typing style change (e.g. using semicolons a lot, misusing commas consistently, conventions like S.O.S vs. SOS)

All in an effort to further anonymize your text. The idea is that people have different, consistent grammatical habits and mistakes, writing, concision, etc. You create a "profile" for each identity you want, usually one per account.

Another interesting concept to explore is platform style. Have you ever noticed that everyone on Reddit sort of sounds the same? People on HN sort of sound the same. I think there's an emergent platform-based profile that top comments hover around, because adhering to this style is more likely to get upvotes. The hive mind is real!

You seem to have missed the part about having a qualified human mentor guiding you through so that content.

It will be hard to impossible to build career as a teacher with all that free content as a competitor, unless you're an extremely talented teacher who can sell your services to the wealthy.
Other posts have touched on this: when times are good and you're not in a competitive environment, this sort of nonessential fluff accumulates because there is no countervailing force. I'm sure everyone can think of non-value-add activities that companies get caught up in because they have too much time on their hands. This is just one of them. Now we're reverting to the mean
You're right and I'm my sheepish hypothesis here is it's not substantial. I think twitter is largely a toy, if it were to completely vanish tomorrow, very little harm would actually be done to anyone. It's like a PMF question, does twitter have third party developers banging on their door with fists full of cash? No, they have a bunch of freeloaders that have built derivative toys.

The Department of Labor's increase of the standard salary level to $47,476 was blocked by the courts.

> The Department increased the standard salary level from $455 per week ($23,660 per year) to $913 per week ($47,476 per year) in a final rule published May 23, 2016 (“2016 final rule”). That rulemaking was challenged in court, and on November 22, 2016, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas enjoined the Department from implementing and enforcing the rule. On August 31, 2017, the court granted summary judgment against the Department, invalidating the 2016 final rule because it “makes overtime status depend predominately on a minimum salary level, thereby supplanting an analysis of an employee's job duties.” Nevada v. U.S. Dep't of Labor, 275 F. Supp. 3d 795, 806 (E.D. Tex. 2017).

The current standard salary level is $35,568.

> When applied to updated data, these methodologies result in a standard salary level of $684 per week ($35,568 per year) and an HCE total annual compensation level of $107,432. Finally, the Department intends to update these thresholds more regularly in the future.

> The Department estimates that in 2020, 1.2 million currently exempt employees who earn at least $455 per week but less than the standard salary level of $684 per week will, without some intervening action by their employers, gain overtime eligibility. The Department also estimates that an additional 2.2 million white collar workers who are currently nonexempt because they do not satisfy the EAP duties tests and currently earn at least $455 per week, but less than $684 per week, will have their overtime-eligible status strengthened in 2020 because these employees will now fail both the salary level and duties tests. Lastly, an estimated 101,800 employees who are currently exempt under the HCE test will be affected by the increase in the HCE total annual compensation level.

Right! But that's talking about compressing a plutonium pit in atmospheric pressure--being an extremely dense metal, plutonium will preferentially "squirt out" in any direction rather than compress, if there's a direction it can go in. Therefore, you need to make a spherical shockwave via explosives.

But that's in 1 atm! The initial wavefront of a fission device is going to be conservatively about 4 inches a microsecond (based on early above-ground test photos, modern high-yield devices would probably be faster still). This could very well turn the entire physics package of the secondary weapon into a thin pancake on the blast front, the plutonium can't get out of the way fast enough to avoid compression. This is a totally different scenario than a one-point-safety fizzle. The HE explosives in the second bomb might as well not exist relative to the overpressures faced from the first bomb's detonation.
The current and future state of AI/ML is shockingly demoralizing (2022)
Before it was de rigeur to use real names on the Internet, most of us used personas that were informed by our handles.

It's unusual—I might even say unethical, if moral realism were coherent—to insist on real names as a matter of honesty given that real names disproportionately benefit the powerful. The powerless cannot use their real names on the Internet because often there are real world consequences.
Starlink has created more information accessibility that twitter will ever will
People like to say something that's more harsh or cruel or greedy - almost any negative human trait - is more 'real', a sort of reactionary assertion, which assumes liberalism (used broadly) as 'unreal', fantastical, a silly dream. People like to say that about 'realist' international relations, but the truth is that countries that do good attract more allies and friends.

But the truth is that people balance interests all the time, including businesses. Every decision balances many interests, some involving profit, some involving doing good. That is just as real, just as common a trait in humans.
It's the ratio which is important here. The type of unit (metric or not) doesn't really matter.

Funny enough our post did not generate as much buzz here
This Damon Chen guy seems like a nice guy but like an independent journalist or something. He seems like he could be a great evangelist.

He started some websites, wrote about Open Startups, and in this article he mentions he had his own 'revenue bar' on Twitter which went from $0 to $1 but he took it down because the age of Open Startups is over.

I look at all this and wonder where the actual dudes going to work at jobs are (no disrespect to those Open Startups who have made bank).

I am an entrepreneur so here is what the job looks like to me. I get up every day and I grind. Mostly that means working on new deals. I close as many of those as I can. When I have time I will call someone on my product team and ask them to walk me through what we're working on delivering next. I have a lot of feedback on that stuff because I come from a product background, but if I indulge that too much, I won't spend enough time on sales.

Sometimes I will look at what the couple of Ops contractors I have on payroll are doing (accounting HR etc.), and spot check their work for issues.

I don't know how any entrepreneur has the time to be off working on "movements." Some of the businesses in his post have higher ARR than me so maybe there's something for me to learn here. But in my reality being an entrepreneur basically means you're closing sales, making deals to increase your distribution, and trying to keep your product or service on track. I just don't get it. Maybe I'm getting old.
We actively use Flutter and tend to agree with this sentiment, with the caveat that we believe it absolutely can get there (and I believe a lot more in Google's ability to stay relevant than Facebook's, even with ChatGPT in the mix).

That being said, they have a lot of work to do.

- I'm not a big fan of Dart's overall composition
- "late" seems lazy and error-prone
- Dependency on code generation for simple things like JSON serializers/deserializers
- All the other issues people have mentioned in this thread.

Luckily my team is investing a lot in our developer tooling, so we can lint/codegen a lot of the stuff away, but it's certainly a sign of it not being there yet.
