I've worked in Vue since 0.12, and have done a few React projects along the way, and mainly manage projects using React now. Overall I've seen people make a mess of both.

More packages is good and bad. Any given project you picked up in Vue over the years mostly used the same router, store, etc. You didn't have to learn a new css-in-js library every time you work on a different codebase. The only thing consistent was everyone (over)using Redux, which I honestly wasn't a big fan of vs Vuex.

React did / does have a much larger selection of quality ui component libraries, which is nice. The biggest upsides imo were that Vue has relatively bad typescript support vs React, and it's easier to hire shitty contractors that already know React.

90% there? I disagree. 90% would mean that most of the time it gets the translation right. That hasn't been my experience.
VW is just not price competitive in the EU EV market in their offerings. Their brand is not premium, midmarket at best, and has suffered from a number of scandals.

They also can't claim og EV/hybrid heritage as e.g Toyota can, but they price their EV's as premium above the budget of the traditional VW buyer.

> Imho the VP should have taken the L, communicated a clear policy and then dealt with the angry customer personally.

This is exactly what happened. But when communicating the policy the poster flat out refused to follow it and brought their bud to the meeting to insultingly live tweet it. Insulting the VP and refusing to follow the policy after that meeting is what got them fired.

I understand that impulse.

One thing I've observed, though, is that "the news" generally isn't how I get information about what fun, brave, new world people would like to make for us.

"The news", qua the comercially-produced mass media doings of the day, generally has never talked about issues important to me and mine and when they do it's largely Fox punditry or it's reaction.

I get a lot of information about the things I care about via various instagram folks and then following up by cursory searches to gt the larger picture.

But the straight and cis folks I know (to choose one axis of this "culture war") or the wealthy center-right PMC/petit bourgeoisie/owning-class folks I know (to choose another) don't seem to understand much of anything no matter how much Fox/New York Times/ WaPo/ MSNBC they consume.

That explicit “promise” is a simple contact, the likes of which companies break all of the time when fiscally advantageous and legally permissible, whether against employees, former employees, or against each other. Also, VMWare isn’t even painted as the villain in this account. You are getting outraged on behalf of an entity that cares not.

Funnily enough, it would seem that VMWare historically has bigger things to worry about when it comes to the military, protests, and broken contracts:

> The Defence Information Security Agency (DISA) reversed a decision to award VMware Inc. with a $1.6 billion contract, following a protest by number of tech companies last February.

Are you saying the Turing test wasn't passed? If you think you understand machine learning well enough to dismiss it as a science because you know a buzzword from a feminist critique that also came out of Google Brain, then I'd say their inclusivity initiative certainly did its job.

After graduating from a bog standard state school, it took me 20 years of job hopping from one non-name-brand company to another before I finally got into a FAANG company. And once you're inside, you can see why this is: You're surrounded by a monoculture of Stanford and MIT and Berkeley graduates, because those (and a few others) are where they do all their university recruitment. Not to pick on graduates of those great schools in particular. They're generally very smart and capable folks! It's just that big tech seems to focus on a small number of schools and practically ignore all the other ones.

I like to call it small "a" agile vs. big "A" Agile. The difference being big "A" Agile has companies selling prescriptive solutions, ticketing systems, books, consultants, etc. and then management that hears about a silver bullet and thinks it solves all their woes.

Small "a" agile is an iterative process with a tight feedback loop, small testable deliverables and a backlog where prioritized items bubble up resulting in other items getting stale. Stale items are good in the sense that you didn't build, test and deliver something that is of little to no value.

Ask HN: Is Wikipedia's antidepressant page objective?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antidepressant

The page contains several positive sentences about antidepressants. 3 random examples:

- Reviews of antidepressants generally find that they benefit adults with depression.

- For children and adolescents, fluvoxamine is effective in treating a range of anxiety disorders. Fluoxetine, sertraline, and paroxetine can also help with managing various forms of anxiety in children and adolescents.

- Unlike social anxiety and PTSD, some TCAs antidepressants, like clomipramine and imipramine, have shown efficacy for panic disorder.

But most of the page feels doubtful, or even against the use of these drugs.

For example, the introduction is really scary in itself. You can read that:

- There is an increased risk of suicidal thinking and behavior when taken by children, adolescents, and young adults.

- Other researchers also conclude that anti-depressants ultimately do more harm than good, indicating that they cause permanent neuronal damage, apoptosis and disrupt numerous adaptive processes regulated by serotonin.

- The placebo effect may account for most or all of the drugs' observed efficacy

And all these points are really poorly counterbalanced.

I think one could argue the page tends to discourage the take of antidepressants.

But still, doctors all over the world are prescribing them.

Is Wikipedia accurate here?

If so, why are doctors prescribing them?
I heard a lot of takes gravitating around: "pharmaceutical industry makes a lot of money with them, so they push the use of these drugs", but it seems to conspiracy-theory-ish to be true.

Honestly FB being as successful as it was for so long should get some credit. Nothing sticks around forever and they generated massive amounts of wealth. It's wayyy bigger than Twitter still.

IMO being able to think about the wider implications for smaller subsets of a system is an important ability. That being said, if your organization allows ICs to make technical decisions without any sort of review from someone whose job it is to architect large systems, idk that seems like something you should have.

It also depends greatly on what 'layer' of the stack you work in.
> Imagine if Tailwind or Laravel forced you into funky .tailwind/.laravel named files because they felt a certain way about their name.

> I took this as a sign that Astro might become a very money hunger shark at the first drop of blood like other popular CMS providers have done in recent memory.

You’re reading way more than what’s reasonable. Vue, React, Svelte have their own file types. The reason has nothing to do with branding. Astro’s syntax is just different from anything that exists and having a dedicated file type makes sense.
This is an interesting take. Reminds me of an ostrich burying its head in the sand and not seeing the hunter approaching. Ignorance is bliss until the world affects you.

Bar graphs not starting at 0 are misleading, even when the axis are labeled. The point of a bar graph is that you can intuitively compare the visual weights or areas of the bars, which doesn't work if they are cut off.

Not labeling the axis is of course even worse.
nobody is going to take on PhD after running the simulator I'm sure about that.
Respectfully, I think you're missing the point too. You are right that many folks who get access to these top resources don't then go on to become so successful, however you might define success. But a larger proportion of them do compared to other groups. I'm not saying that an individual is guaranteed success if they're born into a wealthy family. But I am saying that a wealthy neighborhood of kids who have access to more resources growing up will have a much higher rate of Ivy League admissions than a poor neighborhood across the railroad tracks.
These people won the genetic lottery and can do anything they want, this includes doing nothing.

A lot of people don't really care about doing much more than the minimum. Even talented people are like this. I'm sure a lot of us know (or, let's be honest, are the) people who busted their ass when they were younger, only to hit their 30s-40s and coast.

Who says these people would have kept busting their ass out for so long if they had a pot of gold waiting for them right after college?

I’ve seen this sentiment echoed a lot online and I suspect it comes from activists who wish to guilt trip those who aren't engrossed in their cause.

Exactly. It's like when people complain about minimum wage. As a software developer, this will likely never impact me. Same thing with issues like abortion or gay rights. As a straight male, I gain nothing from getting bogged down in pointless arguments over those side-shows. Russian invading Ukraine? Why is that something I need to know about? I live in American, not Ukraine.

People like me just don't need to worry about these types of issues, so what do I gain by reading news about things like that?
Yes.

I'm in slightly overlapping social circles with Liz and have never felt remotely insulted the times we've chatted. I don't follow her on Twitter anymore and haven't been around her since the pandemic started, but I'd be shocked if she insulted people indiscriminately.

For all I know she might insult people when she sees them say things she thinks are shitty, but I haven't experienced that and I think we've disagreed on things in the past.

My current apprach is: don't. These days I usually work in Rust, C# and sometimes Typescript. I'm only open to working with dynamically typed languages for short periods of time, as a side quest of the main task (e.g. for my last contract I had to read quite some C code, which somewhat resembled dynamically typed code, but I spent even more time writing Rust, so it was OK).
Here are some histories of specific industries I've read recently and supremely enjoyed:

- The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger

- The Machine That Changed the World: The Story of Lean Production-- Toyota's Secret Weapon in the Global Car Wars That Is Now Revolutionizing World Industry

- Empires of the Sky: Zeppelins, Airplanes, and Two Men's Epic Duel to Rule the World

- Railroaded: The Transcontinentals and the Making of Modern America (of all of these not the most amazing but still interesting)

- The Arms of Krupp: The Rise and Fall of the Industrial Dynasty that Armed Germany at War

And then you can learn a lot by reading about the people who built the industries too. Here are a few I've been reading about recently that I recommend:

- Edison by Edmund Morris (Just read it backwards, you'll see.)

- Titan: The Life of John D. Rockefeller, Sr. by Ron Chernow

- The People's Tycoon: Henry Ford and the American Century by Steven Watts

- Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler

I also got some interesting suggestions asking a similar question on Twitter a bit ago.

The issue with the Ivy League and its elitist gatekeeping is its rising pattern of rubber-stamping deeply unimpressive people. These schools are supposed to actively seek out the best and forge them into the most capable people who have ever existed. Instead, they're lifelong credentials and status for heirs who are missing the talent and discipline of their forefathers.

And then, as others have mentioned, they have spread a false culture of using those credentials as a lifelong door-pass into anything someone might want to do, when this is deeply untrue for anyone who hasn't gone to the Ivy League. For most people, a bachelor's gets them past a resume filter for their first job; from there, future employers only care about the value they created at the last job.
> More than half of Stony Brook students from the bottom 20% of the income distribution make it to the top 20%! That’s amazing!

That is really impressive! And look, more schools should focus on this metric.

As an Ivy League grad, you can get the "education" anywhere. Ivies, State Schools (ha, ome Ivies are State Schools!), Community Colleges, Udemy, Khan Academy, YouTube... once you learn how to learn, the sky is the limit. And learning how to learn on your own, and in a way where your failures as you learn aren't life threatening... I'd say that's the real key to life-long success.

But there's nothing going to an Ivy taught me that was unique to that school. For the most part, I found the "famous" professors to be miserable during my undergrad. Like they may know the material inside and out, and their books may be used by other schools, but that doesn't make them good lecturers. In fact, most of them kind of sucked at it, and you could tell it wasn't how they'd spend their time if the university didn't say, "Oh, thanks for the book, keep 'em coming, but you also have to teach an undergrad class too..."

Outside of education though, that's the real benefit. The network there... the opportunities some of my peers had, and I had, because of their connections... And it's a mind shift. Higher expectations, to be sure -- for myself, and others around me. (And, over time, that leads to the ability to teach others ways to improve their game.)

And look, as a kid starting out, getting a few wins in early on makes the world seem a lot less uphill. Even small things, like being able to make a good first impression when I looked for jobs as a new grad (or even 20 years on), people giving me the benefit of the doubt because of the school I went to -- small things turned out to be huge. That initial first impression "I bet this kid is good..." is so valuable. Creates a nice confidence feedback loop too.

All things being equal, I sure am glad I went to an Ivy. I didn't learn anything at school that I couldn't have learned other places. Its was just nice to have that networking opportunity. I look through my friends and I have a huge range of highly successful people in my network. And not all of them went to Ivys, but I will say that having that "starter network" allowed me to connect with other successful people, offer them opportunities, build relationships... like attracts like. And having high expectations seems to attract others with high expectations.

(I fully understand now that my going to an Ivy League school, even as a financial aid recipient, really had more to do with my parents than me. As an 18 year-old kid... what do you know? You're just along for the ride, and taking the ramp my parents set up for me -- I took the opportunities I could, but I didn't realize it until much later how my perceived choices were really because they busted their asses to make sure the I had good options in front of me.)

Anyway, for a kid who grew up on a cattle ranch... going to an Ivy was huge for me. Huge. Like opened all kinds of doors that never would have been accessible to me.
