I think a lot of people conflate "horrible state of web dev anno 2008" with "jQuery". At the time I heard coworkers talk about things like "oh, just make the variable public"; I had never heard of "public variables" in JS context before, but it wasn't my project and at the time I didn't know much about JS so I just assumed there was a gap in my knowledge. When I later took over the project I discovered that "public variable" meant "put window. in front of it".

I'm not saying jQuery or vanilla JS (which is the same thing, just a different API) is the end-all of everything, but with a bit of care and organisation it's not too hard to make dynamic "modern" sites and even web apps that are fast and can be maintained fairly easily. It is easy to make a mess of things though, as it doesn't guide you through a "framework" and especially in larger teams with different experience/skill levels this can be an issue.

At the end of the day I think this is a "Python vs. Ruby" type of discussion, where both can obviously work well, but both obviously also have their own strengths and weaknesses.

I dislike a certain section of the frontend crowd who thinks that going full-in on WebPack+React+TypeScript+1561 dependencies is the only possible way to build something useful and derides anyone who disagrees (at some point someone called me "the anti-vaxxer of frontend development" over this).
Your second paragraph makes sense, but only to the extent that one views people needing support as a local issue. This is one of the ways we (as a U.S. resident) avoid taking responsibility: This problem is some other locality's responsibility.

I've been administered propofol before, and I've experienced syncope before. They're a great deal alike. If anything, the most notable difference is that propofol takes long enough you can feel it coming on, which is more than I've ever been able to say for old-fashioned passing out.

I don't find anything to choose between the experience of coming out of it and that of waking somewhat slowly from deep, dreamless sleep, except incidentally that one typically falls asleep and wakes up in the same place. The discontinuity of awareness "feels" the same in both cases. For that matter, going under propofol feels a lot like falling asleep while deeply exhausted, except without the actual exhaustion, which is in my view the strangest thing about it.

In my mostly misspent youth, and long prior to my first experience of general anesthesia, I once had occasion to try what was then and might still be called "whippets", or the inhalation of carbon dioxide for theoretically recreational purposes. Stupid and pointless as this is and was, in hindsight it was much as if one were under propofol able to pause just before the point of entering discontinuity of conscious experience. That was deeply unpleasant in a way I find impossible to explain, but enough so that if forced to choose I believe I'd prefer to undergo surgery again. As with being around heroin addicts whose habit one does not share, it's the sort of thing that should quickly, and quite rightly, lead one to decide that a scene where this is ordinary is a scene where one does not wish to belong.
I would love to see Google leaving Europe. I bet within a few weeks proper maybe even better replacements appear in Europe. Maybe even one of mine :)
Google is an ad company. None of its services are critical to maintain a stable society. I would even argue that Europe would be better of without the American tech giants.
OP and author here. Feel free to ask any questions or make any recommendations. My background is in robotics, so Web Development is still a bit new for me.
Are you replying to the correct comment? What you've written is completely unrelated to mine.
You mentioned it yourself, but please use `strncmp` - you don't want to have unbounded c style strings like that as keys.

A lot of mallocs. Just malloc a pool and implement an allocation strategy on top of it. Malloc more as necessary (say 2^n).

You mention map types in other languages. They're not always implemented as a hashmap. A tree is commonly used to implement maps too.

Embedded environments generally avoid `malloc` and the heap entirely. You have a simple allocator on top of a fixed allotment of memory instead.
> No gap, no memory of going under or anything that happened in between. It's like the intervening time didn't happen.

I had the same experience 2 weeks ago when being put under with propofol.

They asked me to hold a mask against my face and to start counting and then that's it, I woke up in recovery.

It was like I blinked and the whole thing was over.

Did not feel anything 'coming on' or like I was loosing consciousness, I was fully conscious and aware of all my surroundings, and then, bang, was in recovery.

Strange experience.

I don't think this is a very healthy approach. This is similar to saying that we shouldn't regulate what chemicals companies put into food because eventually the companies die and it won't be a problem. We want things to get better now, not in some abstract far away future.

I think his other writing is more interesting to read, but White Stains is special in how foul it is. The fact it was written at all blows my mind.

Edit: I will add though, Crowley does have a peculiar and breathless way of writing that is noteworthy, but you'll find it in any of his works. And it's neat that he wrote White Stains both in english and in french and they are considered separate works!

It would rather prove the point that they're a monopoly that needs breaking up.

It's in google's best interest not to highlight how much power they have with their current monopoly.

Or they could put the LED under software control (Why do you have LEDs the MCU can't control anyway?) and turn it off during operations, or blink at 1/20 duty cycle to increase the time.

But in practice it doesn't matter that much for most of us.
Allowing a giant supercorperation to exist is generally not in the interest of the public.
Google has been using the incomparable amount of money they have in many ways that do not serve the interests of anyone but themselves.
Allowing one company to own the most visited websites, the most used browser, the most used advertising tools + marketplace, half of the mobile market and much more has not really brought us a lot of good.
Their search service quality has decreased massively in recent years. Google searches for products are basically useless as all of the results are SEO optimized AI compiled listicles with amazon ref links, you can basically only find relevant info by adding "reddit" to the end of your search.
Saying "see how you do without google for a day" is the same as saying "see how you would do without electricity for a day". They have worked very hard to become infrastructure, rather than a service.
Well said.

Europe creates a high amount of regulation. The startup industry gets completely stifled and unable to compete with US nor China. So all they do now is add more regulation.
As expected, the comments here seem generally in support of such a move. But, it is really unclear to me how such a move would improve my life or the lives of most typical users. Genuinely open to having it explained to me.
My point, though, is where do we draw the line between antitrust enforcement because it serves the public's best interest, and enforcement that results in a net negative experience?
That would arguably just make them more valuable.
The US still has a positive net migration rate with pretty much every other country, including all major EU member states.
Yes it definitely made me reevaluate my vitamin routine. I cut back most supplements and only take fish oil and vitamin D in winter now. I even cut out the caffeine and feel MUCH more relaxed.
>How quickly would public opinion change if Google decided to just shut off their service in the EU for a day?

That is not easy, some Google products are paid or Google offered clear terms , they can't brick my phone and break all the contracts they have with different companies because a petty reason.

Even say the free YouTube, I do not pay Google but there are Romanian companies that pay google to put ads in my face, so those are contracts and money involved here.

So what could they stop? Some free charity services maybe?
The problem is the "future" part. It's hard to sell "I'll be great someday!" especially in a dating profile or anything like that, and particularly since people lie a lot in such situations (the infamous "foreploy").

To be fair, it would also be hard to sell "someday I will have a ton of cash to waste on flashy spending."

But you can have hobbies and work/life balance now, and that can be attractive, albeit in a quieter way.
this is about the ad business not gmail etc. monopolies are not a good thing that’s why we have these laws in the first place. monopolies prevent innovation for example. in the ads case monopoly means 1 company decides what ads are good and what ads are not good which affects society

> But not really - for any project of a significant size, sooner or later a build step will be needed for this or something else. Not to mention that many projects are now done in TypeScript, which means there's a build step anyway.

> As a Svelte compiler developer, debugging without a build step greatly simplifies compiler development. Previously, debugging was complicated by the fact that we had to debug using the build step.
In addition, using JSDoc does not affect compiler’s development safety because the type is almost equivalent to TS.

Managing people is a lot more complicated than you seem to realize
> How quickly would public opinion change if Google decided to just shut off their service in the EU for a day?

Very quickly - against Google.

The fact that European citizens have critical business ties to Google (from GSuite to YT partners) is a sword that cuts both ways.

It means the EU can't simply shut Google down on a whim; but it also means that Google can't just throw a tantrum and put up a black page saying "we are PROTESTING because your EVIL GOVERNMENT wants to OPPRESS US by asking us to PAY TAXES and ALLOW COMPETITION". Businesses wouldn't stick around to wait for the next time they got randomly locked out of GMail and GDrive.

(Not that Google has given the slightest hint of having considered such a move, unlike, say, Meta.)

> The world runs on Google and forcing that to change seems like a step backwards at first glance.

"Well we have a dominant position, it would be a shame if that were to change" isn't a great defence when you're being specifically accused of abusing your dominant position.
"The Commission is concerned that Google’s allegedly intentional conducts aimed at giving [Google’s ad exchange] AdX a competitive advantage and may have foreclosed rival ad exchanges."

So the goal is for there to be more competition among advertisers?

That might help ad purchasers (ie. mostly corporations), but consumers are still going to be screwed as this does nothing to stop the spying and advertising that are worst scourges that Google has imposed upon the world.
The cost should be zero. Just turn the LED off during crypto operations. No extra part needed, just connect the led to the MCU instead of actually connecting to power.

Of course, there could still be some LED attack not connected to actually doing crypto operations, but this should mitigate the known attack.
That’s worth knowing!

In AU some fix all or part for 2-5 years (typically 3 years or less, with discouraging rates for the longer term relative to current rates at the time to factor for risk) but it’s not universal. For example, as of mid 2022 only 5% of loans were taken as fixed.

As a result most who did fix recently did so during Covid low rates for 3 years and are coming off now facing hikes from maybe 1.89-2% if they got the best fixed rates (at a time when the cash rate was 0.1% and variable was around 1%) to around 6% variable and 7.8% if they want to fix again.
That makes no sense. Methane has a global warming potential of around 28 over 100 years, meaning it causes 28x as much warming over that timeframe. It does not matter where the CO2 comes from.

What you likely mean is that when taking atmospheric CO2, burning methane does not cause additional CO2 emissions. However, that is orthogonal to the problem of methane itself as a greenhouse gas when it leaks (which by all experience it does regularly).
Ignoring leap seconds?
I see, I took it as objection to the bigger point, because many probably do the same if you want to avoid misunderstanding you can keep doing what you're doing just with a clarification that you have no strong opinion on the issue

There is a rich history of monopolistic practices throughout history that gave rise to antitrust laws. "Does it actually affect people negatively if the result is a positive online user experience" could just as easily be from the playbook of Microsoft, AT&T, De Beers Group...

If you had read the EC statement, you would have understood this pertains to AdX, Google Ads, and DFP products whereby Google raises prices and stifles any competition: a good example of a negative online user experience.
I totally understand, which is why I expected them to say something comforting TO us (after we switched seats), not the aggressors
I think that's why they're trying to go about it in a way that still allows Google to provide the search.

As for the benefit, when Google and Facebook jack up the prices of ads, it's probably increasing the prices of many things you buy on the internet.

Just as an example, I recently tried to run an ad on Google. There are no competitors in this space at all. It cost me > 1-2 USD per click. 10-15 years ago I also tried to run an ad on Google. When there were no competitors, you could have the ad for something like 0,04 USD per click.
Vague phrases like emotional intelligence are often being used as a euphemism for other things unfortunately, for example, women are drastically less likely than men to be politically tolerant. So this can simply be women saying they only want to date very liberal men, but they don't want to phrase it like that because it sounds bad, so they decide that liberalism is the same thing as emotional intelligence (the liberal mindset seeing itself as more empathetic, in touch with other people's emotions).

https://unherd.com/thepost/is-wokeness-killing-the-marriage-...

Two of the most important trends in American life are the increasing tendency for women to identify as liberal, and the increasing intolerance shown by liberals to their ideological opponents. These trends are no doubt related, since women are more ideologically intolerant than men. Put together, they spell trouble for the future of marriage in the US.

[...] the 2020 American Perspectives Survey revealed that 79% of Democratic women and 48% of Republican men would be unwilling to date someone with a different view of Trump.

No discussion of dating trends can be complete without this.

Batteries really aren’t problematic. EV’s need more batteries than the grid and there’s plenty of raw materials to cover global EV’s needs on top of this grid batteries have more options because they didn’t need portability or a 25 year lifespan etc.

If your alternative now needs massive amounts of solar panels just to charge it then suddenly it’s vastly more expensive. Also, both batteries and solar panels are bottlenecked by production capacity, so no you can’t just snap your fingers and have twice as many panels.

Also, deploying any other system at scale means ramping up production of that.
Similar processes have been at work in other countries as well; this piece is an interesting counterpoint to an earlier one about tea ceremony in China and Taiwan:

One of the Japanese tea vendors whose newsletters I subscribe to also had a related discussion recently. I can't remember which one it was (I've subscribed to too many now) but they were expressing frustration about how these phenomena can come to be used for manipulative sales tactics in misleading ways.
I don't know SF all that well personally, so I really can't say. I do know that where the person I know stayed was in the Mission District, which was (and still is) widely known to be among the more dangerous parts of San Francisco. I also know he was routinely coming and going at odd hours, 23:00 or later.

I also know that he had a permit to carry a gun, which (at the time) was near impossible to get in California, and that he in fact did so. Nevertheless, he chose to drive the block and a half rather than walk, because the last thing he ever wanted to do was be forced to use his gun.

I personally don't consider that to be an “obvious display of wealth”, but take it for what you will.
Car mechanics are perfectly fine giving estimates, explaining possible complications and contingencies, working on a time and materials basis, and even doing well-defined services on flat fees despite the long tail of things that can go wrong.

The reason medical providers don't know is because they don't care to know. Their systems are purposefully complex so their computers can do battle with the "insurance" company computers. And when you try to ask a doctor this highly relevant question, they condescendingly feign as if money shouldn't matter despite it being the foremost thing in many people's minds.

I mean, as someone who visits San Francisco for work from time to time... I'm fairly sure that's not actually true? It's never felt particularly unsafe; it's just a normal largish city (albeit with an awful lot of homelessness).

While true, 2.5 years later there is still no action. In that same time period, the E.U. released the largest anti-monopoly technology law in its history, the Digital Markets Act. This will take effect near the end of the year and impact all major tech companies. I think it's clear that U.S. antitrust is ineffective at present.
Some users think "this platform is so good, it doesn't need moderation."

Somehow it never occurs to them that unmoderated platforms end up at best like 4chan and at worst like a site that gets shut down by the FBI.

I think the people that will love this are NextJS/Vercel people, who have decided React is for them for 1. Frontend, 2. Backend, 3. Build Time, and now want to add 4. Emails, and might want to reuse that <Layout> component they carefully crafted for emails too.

I reckon if you become another integration in Vercel, and maybe a option to install your open source react.email is presented when installing Next, that could go a long way.

I almost drunk the React everywhere coolaid (and have some NextJS projects) but not sure it is for me for various reasons (personal preferences), but plenty of people love that way of developing.

Another thing, thinking of living the future. You mention deliverability. Nothing more deliverable than avoiding email all together. (You are not an email company). Will Gen Alpha use email much? That's all I'll say - something to think about.
