You want to store your application state in a widget tree? This was the part about the old bit 'o jquery approach that drove me absolutely batshit. The logical state of your UI is strewn about in Dom objects and their listeners, closures etc. There is no one place you can go to see what state is relevant to this component.
That's nice, but it's still no use for this purpose if it doesn't support differential block level transfer.
From donations like a normal nonprofit. They probably won't be able to pay the 7-figure salaries they were used to from the grift they had before, though.
75 years ago? For reference, Ruby Bridges is 68 years old as of today and active on Instagram. If you think too many single moms are the biggest cultural shift of the last 75 years, then you are just drawing absolutely arbitrary connections.

Drug use, drug convictions, drug deaths are a big shift from then for sure. Some of that is deliberately abusive policy-making by legislators who had been constitutionally barred from segregating so they pivoted to incarceration. Some of it just that we're way, way better at making narcotics than we used to be. None of that seems to be caused by single parents so I really don't know what point you're making here.

You still haven't come close to explaining who has been promoting single parent households. And now I'm forced to ask what decline has the west seen? Almost everything you're complaining about is specifically about America. And there are few if any practical measures by which are declining. This very much reads like a lament for white privilege.

It’s been a few years but I used to run DR exercises for corporates. Cold start means your only possessions are the fire proof suitcase full of LTO-5s and the street address of the DR data center. 1 day to bootstrap essential infra services, after the end of the 2nd day you’d have most customer facing systems up, day 3 would be the non-essential stuff. Personally I’d do it without sleep, but most of the youngsters would need a break. Pretty exhilarating, as IT work goes. Always use the feature that generates multiple index tapes of what backup set is on what numbered tape :-)
I’ll absolutely admit knowing very little about the nuances of payment networks in the US, particularly with contactless —- but my experience (in Australia) is that payment terminals that support contactless inherently support Apple/Google/etc Pay, even if the payment terminal is unaware of those things, in which case the transaction will work the same as a contactless card transaction (e.g. transactions >$100 require PIN).
When the hype is dead is when it'll have just begun.

For many, it will be "over" - mostly the grifters and opportunists in the space.
Basically everything I was doing came to a grinding halt for 45 minutes because I live in Latin America, where your entire life runs on WhatsApp.

It's infuriating because nobody will consider any other messaging app. My phone's carrier also gives everyone several free GBs of WhatsApp data per month.
Why does it mean that these accounts are important to you but you don't sign in?

I suppose perhaps there are sentimental reasons but in that case you might as well do a takeout, download everything, and enjoy whatever is in your account locally.

On the other hand it's extremely easy to satisfy this sign-in requirement. Just set up a mail client that fetches Gmail over IMAP; you don't even have to read any emails.

Who were 'they'? The same people who were telling you you'd be zooming around a bitcoin-powered metaverse on your Segway, then having your self-driving car bring you back to your 3d-printed house to watch 3d TV?

There's a certain type of person who sees a new thing, and goes "this will change everything". For every new thing. Very occasionally, they're right, by accident. In general, it's safest to be very, very sceptical.
I hate that people have a purely punitive approach to this. They get to feel puritan with a semi-reasonable argument: sex work damages others! It damages children! And, for that they get to do anything, because now they want to "help children", and not what they're really doing, using violence against children to attempt to impose their own moral values on the world. What they're really doing ... that sounds a bit bad. But it sounds bad because it is bad. And let's ignore that organisations like the police or Child Services definitely have their share of people who merely want to use violence against children, for whatever reason, because those definitely exist.

Look at what these people DO! Are they improving child services for the children in there? No, of course not. These moral crusaders are, effectively, looking to punish children so they can look good and moral. Damaging real people, real children with real violence so society can look just a little closer to their moral ideal.

You see ... what determines if this is better or worse is the alternative. If you're really after the welfare of the child, what determines your position is the alternative ... What damages the child more? That's what matters for the moral position. Taking the child away, in India, leads to this:

https://borgenproject.org/orphans-in-india/

So no, a parent who's a sex worker is a LOT better.

That should be the basis for your moral position. It's all well and good to define an ideal and then blame people for not attaining perfection ... but of course we'd all be in jail if that's how we actually work. Is leaving children with sex workers ideal? No, but WE DON'T CARE ABOUT IDEAL. We care about the best possible situation for the child! And that, sorry, is definitely, without any doubt, letting sex workers raise children.

You want to change sex work? Offer these people some better options. And if you can't do that, for whatever reason, throwing the child into child services IS NOT a good second option.

And I would argue this applies to pretty much every country in the world, including the US. The situation of orphans may not be quite as bad as in India, it's certainly not better than living with (very) suboptimal parents, whether that means this or ...

And, frankly, that should be the only concern.

Not sure if you’re being serious but that is indeed how it works at many places. I was straight up told that I could get a spot on some schools’ track teams over others who were faster than me because my test scores would increase the team average
The lightweight fork was called "Firebird", and when they learned that the name was taken by, I believe, an RDBMS, they switched to Firefox.
I'm reminded of Bryan Cantrill's talk "Debugging Under Fire"[1], which includes a retrospective of sorts about an entire datacenter rebooting.[2] That is a pretty large-scale disaster, but even that is a rung below a continent-wide outage.

No, get it right.

The VC destroyed the Maker Faire and magazine because it did not make enough profit fast enough. Therefore it was more profitable for the VC to destroy the business and cash in the chunks left over.

Venture capitalists are shit no matter how you look at it. And they will take sustainable businesses and dismantle them wholesale to squeeze a few extra pennies.

I hope Make/Maker Faire will never again touch a cent of VC's money.
You obviously got it wrong. The parent commenter explained that there is no elitism in Germany, because a professor said it in an interview, in German. Don't you know that Germany is the sacred, holy land, unique amongst all other lands on Earth, where elitism doesn't exist? You must have confused them with Austrians.
It always bothered me seeing "ultrasonics" and "audible range" being listed in the same spectrum as microwaves and light. We can't hear it, audio is not part of the electromagnetic spectrum. They could mention submarine comms instead.

That's a very good point. In the early stage, we were thinking about a single tenant architecture which would make this questions way easier. However, I am a strong believer in multi-tenant architectures as they allow to scale while mutualizing the resources (I personally think it's single tenant at scale is non-sense in term of ecology) and we will invest into maintaining a multi-tenant architecture.

So, as we go through the multi-tenant path, what you say is very relevant and will be challenging.

Regarding custom entities and custom fields, we plan to introduce a flexible data table backed by a meta-data, quite close to what salesforce is doing ; this article is gold about how they built it: https://architect.salesforce.com/fundamentals/platform-multi.... In short, you have a data table (uuid, objectid, tenantid, field1, ..., fiel500) where fields are VARCHARs and you build your own engine on top of that. This comes with a lot of challenges such as performances (indexation), typing (we lose Typescript/GraphQL power obviously as we deal with flexible data modeling)

Regarding plugins that we want users to be able to create and to activate on the marketplace without vetting, here is the way we see it right now:

1) Front-end: serve a dedicated JS depending on what workspace you are on. Rebuild this JS when you activate / update a plugin

2) Back-end: we will need to execute the code in a separate environment. We were thinking about serverless lambdas for the cloud version and keep it local on the main server for self-hosting ; kind of allowing two drivers (lambdas + local) to execute plugin code in the codebase but using lambdas only on the the cloud).

Would love to chat a bit more about it. We will likely open a Github discussion thread in the upcoming weeks about this specific topic) so we can get the feedback from anyone interested into it
> I need a solution that lets me, the card holder, check these. This ain't it.

No you don't. All you need to do is use a payment method that is actually secure. Demand it. When they tell you tap doesnt work, ask why. Hand your card to the cashier and make them scan it on the register's reader.
What do you mean I can't use workplace property to attack my workplace?
Yes it is. Spinning up another process is not multithreading, like, literally. It’s multiprocess. I never cease to be amazed with the complete lack of basic CS literacy from JS script kiddies.
You may be frustrated with how Stripe is responding, but why would using another payment provider solve the root issue?

Does your site use a captcha in the subscription flow to prevent card testing?
Svelte isn't a strict win-win. It requires a compiler, and forks of JavaScript and HTML.

And it isn't actually very different from React or Vue anyway, and in fact quite a bit more limited than Vue (not necessarily bad).

Saying:

“I’ll figure it out for you at compile time.” —Svelte

is just a non-technical, basically non-meaningful statement.

You need to know _what_ it figures out exactly. What state and what state changes are observable? These things matter more than whether it's done at compile time or runtime.

And I think the author is ascribing far more power "compile time" than what's actually happening. Svelte is not doing some kind of sound data flow analysis on your JS code to figure out what could change and rewriting your code to be observable (something not really possible anyway). It's using specific syntax conventions to make some variables into shallowly observable properties. And it adds "store" concept, which is more-or-less Signals as popularized in Solid, now Preact, and soon Lit and Angular.
That's just what I was trying to say. If your language potentially allows futures to resume on different threads, you pay a complexity cost. I'm not too familiar with Rust, but I think the cost is especially high here because Rust is so concerned with correctness (there is no Send trait in C++ for example).

And if you are using async only for nicer control flow, then there is no need for multithreaded executors. Just coroutines that live on a single thread and get orchestrated by an event loop (trampoline/reactor/executor).
"Convinced that we are a few years from extinction," is an exaggeration of the pessimistic/alarmed end of the spectrum of opinion.

All the forecasts I've seen have the period of danger spread out over at least 20 or 30 years, and no one claims to understand the topic well enough to be able to tell whether a particular model is dangerous even if given complete freedom to examine the source code and interview the creators.

Our inability to predict is in large part the basis of the pessimism/alarm because it means that the leading labs won't know when to stop.
Tessier-Lavigne matter shows why running a lab is a full-time job
downdetector.com is also showing a spike of users reporting issues with Instagram around the same time. Assuming both products are hosted with the same infra, perhaps the issue is up-the-chain and not related to any changes in the product per se.
Most of us are somewhere in the middle, but true extraverts are just wired different. They are really different.

Many normal people are social when they feel good, and less so when they are not.

But extraverts have learned to use social interactions to "fix" their emotional state. Or maybe they are born with it. However they deal with social aspects completely different.

I think most of us are in the middle. Where some of us lean to less social, but I think part of that is emotional issues that haven't been dealt with. Whereas extraverts are just different.
I live in an apartment (Paris region, to get an idea of the climate) and my datacenter is located on the top shelf of a cupboard.

The main server is an old tower, ca. 6 years old. It costed 600€ at that time: a Skylake processor and 12 GB RAM. I use it to run about 20 services via docker (it includes the ones you mentioned). It is more than enough.

I used to have a small PC (chinese, bought on Aliexpress for about 150€ I think) to run Pihole (filtering, DHCP, DNS) but I moved it to my Internet box (yes, we have internet boxes that allow you to run VMs on them).

This with a Cisco switch, a Ubiquity AP and a UPS.

Total power is 60W, the temperature is around 35°C.
I wouldn't recommend what I do, the platform was a bit of a dead end and I've just randomly chosen a lot of this...

CPU: Threadripper 2920x
RAM: 128GB DDR4-3600 (ECC would make more sense, I think)
Disk: RAID1 gen4 NVMe for the OS, two 5x5TB RAIDZ-2 volumes for long term storage
GPU: Arc A750 for transcoding
NIC: *bonded* 10GbE (SFP would be cheaper)

In a regular desktop chassis, in the corner of my office, with one of the sets of drives coming from an attached pod

This is mainly a NAS/transcoding box that happens to run a lot of VMs -- varying purposes, mostly what you'd expect with testing a lot of Ansible
right, so what's the issue with sharing a notebook (code) and rendered html (results)?

If someone starts playing with the inputs, they're going to lose the outputs you've created unless you have a saved rendered copy anyways
Interesting to compare these with the results on the js-framework-benchmark page [1] (with the usual caveats about benchmarking). Without actually running the numbers, qualitatively it looks like there are 3 performance tiers: VanillaJS (fastest); Vue, Svelte and Elm (often close to vanilla); and Angular and React (sometimes comparable, sometimes much slower).

We get to stop talking about it once racial discrimination stops happening, and we've managed to right the scales when it comes to past discrimination.

If we can do that in 50 years (doubtful) then we can stop talking about it. Ditto for the other time frames you mention.

Even then, we shouldn't really stop talking about it. Forgetting our history increases the likelihood that we'll slip back into old patterns and do it again.

At peak jquery, I argued successfully for storing the metadata on DOM, because then you have a system of record, upon which you can build a straightforward source of truth. React does a ton of work to solve that architectural puzzle another way.

The thing I have run into over and over again is that when we try to pretend the system is Y when it is in fact X, inevitably the impedance mismatch results in 1) bugs that should be easy to reason about but are difficult to fix, and 2) a form of pulling the ladder up behind you.

If I want to continue to work on interesting things I have to be able to carve out chunks of my code to gift to #3 on the bus number list, so I have the bandwidth to double down on some other topic or expand into another.

I know which side my bread is buttered on. Many don’t. Which is why I have a more consistent supply of mentees than many of my peers.
> Stanford is greater than any one of us. It needs a president whose leadership is not hampered by such discussions. I therefore concluded that I should step down before the start of classes.

I agree, good for him to humbly resign and not drag the reputation of the bigger institution into questionable territory. The news came as a shock this morning but it's a well written letter he publicly posted.
I assume TC doesn't include appreciation of stock you already own, only RSUs or similar?

So I'd expect stagnant companies (Expedia and Intel) to have to pay more, while those with more potential upside to pay less, all else being equal.

I do google flights and kayak. I have sometimes found, after I understand what is available, going to the airline is sometimes good. Google and Kayak, for me, sometimes provide inaccurate information. As in I prefer Peasant Plus, as opposed to full Peasant. Oh and I have checked luggage. Both with often offer a great trip at the time I want. Then when I start going through it is 'Ok that is Standby Peasant Minus (Joking a little) checked and carry on are extra'. But maybe I am just bad at searching.
Right, but that has nothing to do with it being a command line app, which is what OP was objecting to.

> representatives themselves would be even less educated on issues before them than they are today.

i dare say politicians are far from even the smallest bit educated on any issue as it is not what gets them votes, and even an amateur in any field or profession is likely more aware and educated then them. how many times do we hear about laws the pass about technology that clearly have no idea how said technology works?

perhapses having expects, scientists, and data be how we make choices would result in better outcomes then simply who is best at winning a popularity contest.

i recall a study done with high school class leaders where instead of voting they did something else and it resulted in better, more capable leadership, but i can't find it at the moment

I have a NAS built around an i3-4370 that was purpose-built with consumer hardware.

Another host built with consumer components: MiniITX with a Ryzen 2700X that was pulled from my main desktop when I upgraded. It runs most services that I actually use, including Plex which has a NFS mount to the above mentioned NAS.

Unpopular thought, but eu’s CRA may reduce open source software availability, increasing scarcity and thus leading to a potential indie market. Software is one of the few industries where people have freely made the product of their labor available in large quantity, dramatically reducing their prospect of earning independently just by writing software. The more indie software makers the more proper engineering can be done - as opposed to simply giving it for free to corporations.
2 competitors which I think are getting things right on the UI front are Attio [1] and Folk [2]. It's not as powerful as Salesforce and the data structure is very loose, but they have done a good job with the user-experience. They are not open source though.
