I think it's a fairly interesting concept but it's not like they're taking over the world or anything. FWIW, I don't DTrace was as successful as its creators might have wished either.
> The term is well understood and has its origins in the contrasting positions and approaches of "Progressive" and "Revolutionary" Marxists.

well-understood by marxists (are there any of them around any more?) but not i suggest by the rest of us.

and of course apple, starbucks and co are all "progressive" and not out to gouge you for all you have?

or is this just another part of mad usa politics and wokeness?
> I causally used the "r-word" and didn't even think anything of it

You casually called someone a "retard" (I assume that's the word) and someone took that wrongly? Of course they did! Even when "retard" was an acceptable put-down, it was still a put-down.

Maybe the way to avoid the "minefield" you speak of is to not put others down? Even deservedly! Just try to be nicer to everyone, even if they are not, themselves, nice.
Well, there're things like React's JSX, CoffeeScript, TypeScript and all of the fricking Babel stuff, all require some kind of transpiling (or how babel names it, compiling), and probably that is what OP means.

PS: Luckily, I'm not a frontend dev :)
Not really, because you have to embed the CC costs into the retail price. So even if you pay cash, you pay for CC fees indirectly. While only the actual CC users get some minor cashback. So non-CC payers have the highest cost.
The Royal Mail in the UK is definitely allowed to open mail as a last resort to figure out where it should be returned to, the National Returns Centre undertakes this work. If the contents turn out to be something that isn't returned (e.g. a newspaper or magazine) it's destroyed, if it's a letter the NRC will try to figure out where it came from and send it back there.

Most commercial mail carries an return address written on the reverse to avoid the need for this, and of course letters you write by hand should also provide a return address in principle although you're much less likely to send stuff to the wrong address than a commercial operation - when I heard my cousin had moved just before Xmas I didn't send her a card, because there's no point sending it to the wrong place and hoping it gets forwarded eventually, it's just an Xmas card.
Bitwig specifically is very known and exceptional. It isn't just a "daw for linux", it is a major cross-platform DAW that is being developed by a bunch of ex-Ableton people. Been following it since the initial release, and by now it became clear that they are clearly shooting (and really promisingly) for the "top DAW overall" status rather than something more narrow like "top Linux DAW".

Are you dogmatically arguing about a definition of "dogmatic"?

Suicide rates amongst female European teenagers are rising as well. I'd encourage you to consult the literature before making assertions like that.

Incorrect. If multiple services interoperate with each other, that does not mean that one service can vacuum up the entire data on that network. As an analogy, Gmail servers cannot touch emails that are stored on Outlook and have never been addressed to a Gmail recipient. And if your position is that Google gets access to traffic flowing on a heterogeneous group of iOS and Android users simply because of RCS, that is again incorrect. RCS does not enable any new insidious capabilities that Google may not already have by the virtue of building Android.

RCS will have no effect on iMessage whatsoever. Messages between a homogeneous group of iOS users has no reason to touch Google owned (or other) RCS servers. And for Android users, RCS is a meaningful upgrade from traditional SMS.

I was curious about the driverless metro trains in Copenhagen, and kind of in wonder. And then I commuted on them for years, and stopped thinking about who was driving.
There are a couple of buildings in the US with their own zip code. The White House is one, as is the Empire State building.
I agree.

While in fiat currencies it may go on to inheritance feeding the market with liquidity, unused Bitcoin does nothing, so demand being equal price would increase.
USPS trucks that deliver mail aren't driving more than 100 miles (rarely) a day. I'm pretty sure these trucks can be on a 2-3 day recharge cycle and still have plenty of juice left even if they don't hit those recharge cycles.
When did Laurie Voss advocate for Angular? I checked his blog and his Twitter and there is nothing pushing Angular in either.

In your opinion, what's so wrong in prefering to just run your JS/TS code without having to maintain a build/bundling step?

To me, Deno's approach is undoubtedly a killer feature with regards to the status quo of the whole nodejs ecosystem. Don't you agree?

What do you mean by this? Hasn't linguistic relativity been studied and demonstrated quite extensively?

I don't disagree with your overall point, but found this surprising.
But isn't it possible that these things have different degrees of addictiveness and destructiveness?

Drugs would be the (almost too) obvious analogy. There are many that people develop addictions or dependencies on, but it's pretty clear that there are some that are far more addictive than others, and that not all of them have the same deleterious social and physical consequences.

Why wouldn't activities be the same here? It seems to me that social media might be "worse" than a lot of the others. It's perpetually available, painstakingly engineered to be as addictive as possible, and may (jury is very much out here, but there's some research to suggest this) have properties that make it damaging to the psyche above and beyond normal addiction.

Just like there seem to be drugs whose abuse potential is too high to rely on self-control and moderation, maybe there are activities for which the same is true.
There sure is! Here's a recent review:

It's a pretty consistent finding among labor economics researchers that firms have monopsony power over workers.

> What's left to fight for?

The issue isnt whether they're well paid according to your subjective criteria. It's the ratio between how much the worker is paid and how much they produce for the firm.

I talk about the "bargaining power ratio" concept here[1], but the microeconomics 201 concept is the ratio between marginal product of labor and pay can be thought of as the bargaining power ratio.

If across the board workers have a low ratio, then they have a systematically low bargaining power, and unions would improve that.

There’s nothing more prescriptivist than a term propagated entirely by HR fiat.
I'm not the biggest Jim Cramer fan but he ran a successful hedge fund and has been in the industry for 20 years.
He is an expert and knows what he's talking about and is pretty knowledgeable about the US cash equities markets.

Part of the inverse Kramer ETF's success is that if you run a hedge fund you can make bank on 20 positions over a year or two.

If you are on TV every night you need a new "winner" 5 times a week, which just isn't possible.

If you're bored and into financial "stuff" look up the returns of the typical ESG sector fund, then compare the return to the "YALL" ETF. I still laugh at the ticker symbol for "YALL". Sometimes you just can't make this stuff up.

The analogy with the inverse cramer fund is pretty obvious as YALL is pretty much a reverse ESG fund "more or less much hand waving here".
It is effective for me to know which website owner is an asshole.
You can import them, but you can't force them to work - see Germany, Sweden, etc. ;)
I already couple of agencies in my state, but the problem I am facing is that most companies (governmental agencies included), don't consider accessibility as important or necessary, maybe they believe that way because they're not educated what digital accessibility is and how it is part of the ADA (a federal law). Some HR person once even said to me, "that will expose to our system to 'hacking'". I think people don't know much about digital accessibility, most people associate accessibility to only physical sense.

So, thank you for suggesting advocacy route: that is really a good idea. I have to start that, maybe there'll some opportunities there. Thanks!
I recently moved here and really like that website that need your address here often have just 2 fields

you fill them in and typically it shows you the street name as confirmation (or complains that the house doesnt exist in the post code. Zip+4 was supposed to work in the US for this but i dont think people liked remembering another 9 digit number
I categorically reject this opinion.
Yet we plumb methane in houses all the time. Also, at least for HVAC, it's perfectly reasonable to keep all of the refrigerant outdoors and use water as a heat transfer medium to the interior.
that's a common misconception.

Commissioners and the President of commission are appointed (elected) by the Parliament who is in turn elected by the people.

Same way the American president is elected by "electors" who are chosen by the parties, which are voted by the people. People only vote directly for the congress in the US.

It's the same thing for the European institutions, I don't see the problem here.
I trigger murphy's law with the last win 10 update. Non of the applications had internet access but after rebooting Edge worked for about 5 min 30 seconds. The internet tab of settings crashed, the drivers required further installation (I tried every driver up to the newest one), the repair usb couldn't repair it, the restore point was unable to restore. etc etc nothing worked. It was a lot of fun honestly.
> Why wash and rinse the normative majority's brains with this info then?

Because that minority group can be groomed from childhood to not behave in such a way via strong social norms, and therefore reduced in size to an even smaller minority. Likely will never disappear entirely, but achievable goals are better than idealistic perceptions never applied
This is inspiring. I think I’ll pickup your book. I used to be on the lower tech path in the early smart phones days. I remember I refused to have data service on my phones for years, but sadly I caved eventually and here I am now phone addicted like everyone else.
> Is it reckless and arguably illegal to offer jobs on an oil rig? As an x-ray technician? A vascular surgeon?

The safety of those jobs is regulated and overseen by OSHA, and OSHA can force changes or shut down operations if they are unsafe. Which is exactly what the FDA is doing here, for the same reason. GP's comment was basically "yeah but what if the life-threatening job only used terminally ill people and paid them a whole bunch of money?" It's unconvincing that that should be an exception.

> When does risk become so great that consent is unlawful?

When a regulatory agency, following due process according to its mandate, says so. Like in this case.
I work at PostHog, but didn't write the article. I'm guessing what we meant here is that we use a small, flexible agency that manages our paid ads. We didn't want any "optimized" landing pages or other stuff, we just wanted _any_ spend here to go on generating some relevant traffic (since often we think conversion rate optimization is harmful for brand/word of mouth, especically with a technical audience who in the long run respect companies that give you all the info up front etc, and we can do the other bits like SEO research).

We spend $5k/month with them + give them a monthly spend to do 99% of the work so we don't try to build any paid ads core competency in house. Continuously we've been trying to move spending from here to more organic content, and just leaving spend on the highest conversion paid campaigns (like our own brand name... which sounds stupid but it is broadly accepted as cost effective to boost CTRs for high intent traffic on Google's first page).
Typically grids use numbers in one direction and names in the other direction.
Running ads is a sophisticated business. You have to understand the platforms you’re using, the targeting tooling, the audiences you want to target and to do so in a way that won’t just blow your budget instantly in the wrong place. You also need “creative”, i.e designs for ads that will be effective for your chosen medium(s) and audience(s). After that you need on-the-fly analysis to redirect money to the most effective places. All this work is usually done by ad agencies, who do a fixed amount of work for you each month on a retainer.
After some thinking, I do recall GNU Tar in I think the late '90s changed the bzip2 options a few times. Not sure the reasoning. Might be something in mailing lists but I don't really care to go digging.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. When there is no evidence.. there is no evidence that is it. Predictions are hard, but anyone forward looking has to make at least assumptions. The goal is to be less wrong or err on the side of caution.
But it's not like unleaded gas. Evidence has been mounting that PFAS are the modern 21st century's lead, hence bans like this.

If you've bought property, it's still gonna be there after you've died, ready to be repossessed. same with gold, shares or anything else, really?

And if it's been illegally repossessed you'll have a good chance to retrieve them again through lawful means too.

It's a pretty unique attribute that only applies to digital ...things that can only be touched with a cryptographic key
Calling those companies by name would be extra stupid. Let's say out of nowhere there's a new company that fits to all the criteria but it's not called by name? The law would have to be changed to add their name to the law. It's wasting a lot of time. Instead of that there's a list of criteria and company is automatically on this "list".

What if instead of asking ChatGPT for facts, we instead asked it for plausible methods of determining those facts? So instead of answering "The statue of Liberty is 151 feet tall" it could instead respond with "Look it up yourself on wikipedia."
Be careful assuming that humans (especially the humans you see) are the lion's share of cost for any system.

Sure, Uber passes 60-75% of the fare to drivers, but that pays for the depreciation/opportunity cost of the vehicle, the energy to move the vehicle, the insurance, the cleaning, etc.

A lot of the problems that these 'no brainer' new technology start-ups face (e.g., the autonomous delivery robots) is actually that they aren't that much cheaper than humans (for now).
That is really a good idea! I live in USA, each state have their own state IT department that handles all IT stuff. So, if I email people who work there, they could refer some work to me.
Oh, wow - I had seen a version of this, years ago, as; I believe, a commercial.

It was a much, much better and far less obvious version, I can't tell because obviously I knew what I was expecting, but I strongly feel with this 1999 version I absolutely would've caught it. Very poorly done compared to the other one I've seen.

Ah, here it is, this one uses a 'moonwalking bear'. Upon seeing them both again, I 110% agree with my assessment that the bear version is far, far superior.

The space the original video uses is too small, and maybe it's that the camera angle is poor; it's so hard to tell but I'd honestly be surprised if too many people fell for the original today.

In my own experience interviewing people about systems they have worked on (as opposed to hypothetical on-the-spot design), we have been highly successful in routing out charlatans, as you put it. They very rapidly get hand-wavy and are only able to give the most shallow of answers. In a few cases they will go in-depth, but reveal truly bizarre decisions or lack of understanding of the platform.

Good senior engineers can usually go fairly deep, they are honest about where they don't have as much knowledge, and are usually candid about what was good and maybe what in retrospect was a hack or a bad decision in retrospect.

It is also a bit of a point of my post.

"Why sales people would need to edit it?"

Because there were no dedicated people writing documentation, there were developers and sales people - that was it. Non technical documentation so "how to use the system" was going to be written by sales people.

Lots of times in a company you work with what you have and finding and hiring "technical writer who has experience or wants to work with LaTeX" I would count as hard task.
Your first mistake was considering them journalists.

Many who create click bait drool are like WIX “developers” calling themselves custom frontend engineers.

Even a junior journalist would do something as simple as quote the actual case. Time and time again I see these articles and even basic things are factually incorrect.

Even today I think there was a HN post about salesforce layoffs, quoted at 10k when it was 8k, and that wave happened in January when it was written as if there’s another wave coming.
What makes you think it will tend towards zero?
Halting problem.
Seems to me that the real villain is the network interchange companies. The credit companies which use said networks are numerous and are in reasonable competition with each other, continually eroding their share of the transaction fee to provide more and more compelling 'rewards' to their customers.

Once upon a time people dreamed that blockchain would provide the network, operating in a distributed fashion that isn't dependent on one or two companies, and bet big on it becoming that, but obviously that didn't pan out.
It’s hard to tell between those who know their stuff, and those who are good at memorising all the various courses that tell you what to say. By telling the candidate what system to design you make the latter’s job easier.
Ever since they decided to paywall I've been skipping them as the actually valuable content can often be found elsewhere. Even more of a reason to do so now.

I'm sure some will decry going elsewhere as inciting the move to generative AI by not generating revenue to pay writers, but I think the more honest take is that "news outlets" or "publishers" or whatever they're calling themselves these days have always been looking to cut costs any way they can, no matter the site traffic.
How do people like sourcehut.org for open source projects? For startups? For established "enterprise"?

I overall like GitLab for startups, especially since I can do my own flavor of Kanban with the scoped labels feature of their Premium account. So I'm leaning towards also moving my personal open source to gitlab.com, just to simplify. I would've already moved, but gitlab.com's CloudFlare setup is blocking my Firefox. And a couple times now GitLab has changed the pricing dramatically, and I won't like surprises like that after I've invested many hours to move there.
There is in the EU, at least:

> Specifically, the regulation:

> * caps interchange fees at 0.2% of the transaction value for consumer debit cards and at 0.3% for consumer credit cards;

From https://eur-lex.europa.eu/EN/legal-content/summary/fees-for-...

No cap on corporate cards, though.
Right okay, so, let's get our terminology straight real quick: an "import map" is just a piece of configuration that says, "when someone imports from module name X, load it from Y". This would for example let you `import { ... } from 'lodash'` and have it load from `https://unpkg.com/lodash-es@4.17.21`, or whatever else. That's all it does. Everything you're describing above is just about regular "ES module" behavior.

With that out of the way: yes, the lodash case would be pretty egregious if you imported the whole library in one. And most libraries imported this way will not be totally optimal: you'll probably load some code you don't need. But I think lodash is a pretty dramatic outlier; not only is it gigantic, it's exceptionally modular. Compare it to something like React, which is not small, but is nearly a monolith. The same I assume goes for Vue, etc, as well as other kinds of big libraries like GraphQL clients, third-party SDKs, etc. The percentage of code loaded that didn't need to be is, I would guess, usually much much smaller than it is if you're using a single function from lodash

I would add a couple more things:

- Minification is definitely a loss in the naive case, however, that should be easy for a CDN to implement (I think several already do it). I wouldn't be surprised if Deno/Fresh do this automagically too.

- HTTP/2 is optimized to make lots of parallel requests over a single TCP connection, which could conceivably mean a slightly larger total amount of code might load faster as separate modules than a single large bundle would. Of course like you said "depth" is still a limiting factor.

- For extreme cases, dynamic import() is an option in the native ES module system, and can be used to strategically defer module loading

So I don't think it's all that bad, even though like I said above there are tradeoffs. And I'll be curious to see where the industry goes.

PS: It would be good to have the option to bundle with Deno, though. One thing I would be excited to see, personally, is a Deno-ready bundler. One of the main limitations of using Deno right now, if you've got a front-end, is the lack of front-end tooling. You could install Node separately just for tools... but then that's a whole other system dependency, set of concerns, etc. I'd like to be able to do:

deno run https://deno.land/x/bundler/cli.ts

And have that Just Work™. Maybe it uses WASM modules for speed.

...or maybe this could even be a first-class feature of the `deno` CLI
