> I remember when the language was Web Components would replace frameworks, this was something the people pushing the standards were actively championing at the time and was really one of the main goals of Polymer as well.

The language is still there. If anything, it has become more aggressive. Now lit (and stencil) are "standard-based" and "future-proof", and "they are not frameworks", unlike all those non-standards-based framework abominations. (at this point most people roll their eyes).

> They could work well for building apps if the ecosystem was more invested in giving developers what they actually want in a timely manner.

The problem is that none of the people involved in the development of web components ask what developers want. If they ever ask, any answers (including answers from other framework authors and contributors) are ignored, derided, and misconstrued.

There's a reason even people and frameworks who really advocated for web components in the very beginning (Vue, Svelte, Solid) are completely against them now.

This is a very poor frame of reference. It's not other people's fault they cannot understand the value you provide, it's your fault.

The thing that tends to bother engineers is that articulating your value (I.e. sales and marketing) is generally orthogonal to your key competencies.

Over the course of the film, the three women cover a broader range of capabilities than just doing arithmetic, and that tagline is not unreasonable. I'm not being very specific on purpose - you should watch the film.

It's all about unfounded accusations, but even if the accusations are founded, if the person living there is the worst fucking racist who deserves to be shunned; that may be a valid reason for Amazon to stop delivering stuff to his home, and refuse to sell anything to him, but not to disable his entire home and disable the devices that he has already paid for.

Once you've sold it, it shouldn't be yours anymore. Inviting this kind of surveillance into your home, where we're being policed by profit-driven corporations, is the biggest condemnation of this sort of IoT crap. Imagine if my car stops working if Toyota disapproves of something I say. Imagine I can't pay for food because of something I said.

Pulling this sort of crap should be punished with heavy fines.

And if companies are at the same time held responsible for the stuff that goes through their servers and that creates an impossible situation for them, then maybe they shouldn't be creating these sort of dependencies at all.
> Shadow DOM is native web feature.

Doesn't mean it's a good feature. This is recognised even by people who push them: https://w3c.github.io/webcomponents-cg/2022.html

--- start quote ---

It's worth noting that many of these pain points are directly related to Shadow DOM's encapsulation. While there are many benefits to some types of widely shared components to strong encapsulation, the friction of strong encapsulation has prevented most developers from adopting Shadow DOM, to the point of there being alternate proposals for style scoping that don't use Shadow DOM. We urge browser vendors to recognize these barriers and work to make Shadow DOM more usable by more developers.

Yeah, this was a tad flippant. At work, I’ve often had something I write be received in a wholly different manner than I intended. My coping strategy for now is to preface anything that I think might be viewed differently with a “this does not mean…” warning. But of course, if I knew all of the sentences that might be received differently, I wouldn’t be in this situation to begin with.

One obvious answer is that Stripe has name recognition and fame, which means they can afford to charge more and get away with it. And smaller companies have an incentive to prioritize growth and user acquisition over immediate profit.

But what other tradeoffs are you implying there to be? I understand in a vague sense that payment processors deal with a lot of ugly behind-the-scenes stuff like mind-boggling varieties of frauds, dispute resolutions, regulations, etc., but what exactly is the difference in this specific case, and how might it affect a potential user in practice?

Knowing nothing about UUID v4 generation, I have likely a stupid question. What makes you so confident that all implementations and their entropy sources are flawless enough to make actual collision probability close enough to theory?
Yes, that's a viable option in many cases.

But if your users are distributed around the world and most requests are read requests then it can make sense to shave 100 or 200 ms off your response times.

You can always squander those gains later by running JavaScript for 5000 ms before showing anything :)

The issue I’ve seen in older codebases is comments not being updated when the corresponding code updates. This usually is more of a problem for comments that are not local to the code, whether they are in docs or in a separate code file. Once enough of that creeps in you start distrusting comments and thus stop reading them.
Exactly.

Chip makers never seemed to have figured out the bullwhip effect https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullwhip_effect , and I would personally guess intentionally as a way to purposefully keep workers fearful (as serious layoffs are guaranteed every couple of years during slow periods, meaning during worker-squeeze periods you obey or end up first to be gone in a year).
That really stuck out to me too. Given the author's care with other things and the fact that the quote marks in the dissertation itself look fine, I assume it's just an unfortunate accidental error and not the result of ignorance.

This is a fun project.

It reminds me of a little console of sorts my brother and I had when I was around the age of 4. I remember it only as "TV Games" and I'm pretty sure it only had pong on it.

It's funny to think about how much computer power went into producing the "Cansole" versus "TV Games". I'm sure it probably didn't even have a CPU, it was probably just all done in hardware.

While we're talking about Stripe alternatives, anyone have a good Stripe Tax alternative?

Their pricing is actually insane as they charge per API call rather than transaction amount. That sort of pricing made sense for TaxJar because it was their whole deal, but post-acquisition it would've made more sense to treat the tax product as a complement to the core business and just tack on a small 50c fee for successful tax collection.
Because every decision in life is about trade-offs. Sure you could completely stop using plastics in the microwave, but that means buying new items that are potentially more expensive and may have other disadvantages. And for some plastic items there may not even be a viable replacement - for example I'm not sure how you would replace flexible pouches.

So to make any sort of sensible decision you need to know how bad these plastic particles really are, to weigh that against the cost of avoiding them.
Threadbare
So...there kind of isn't any good alternatives?
Men are applying and women are hiring. Half the candidates are lying on their resumes. Many candidates are spamming their resumes indiscriminately. If you've ever had to hire someone for a position that attracts hundreds of candidates (i.e. software engineer with decent pay), you'll encounter the same dynamic. I hate being in that role. I have to reject 199 people and accept 1. Often, there are dozens of qualified candidates. You interview half a dozen, and then you tell 5 out of 6 perfectly qualified people you interviewed they didn't get the job. You feel like a horrible person the whole time. I've discussed this with my wife (we met on Bumble) and she confirmed the scenarios are very similar.

It's often better to be in the hiring position than in the applying position. But it's awful for everyone involved.

The way to avoid this mess when applying for jobs is to build up a network and lean on it for new positions. I wonder if dating may have a similar alternative approach.
These checks and balances are an illusion. They do not work. Courts are overwhelmed with work and suddenly will sign anything. Minimal impact and minimal risk aside for the victim.

An experienced and higher public official will get permission for everything. There is neither a check, nor any balance at all. This is true for every country that pretends surveillance would happen with care.

It's interesting to me how people who talk of advancements of our civilization in such an absolute manner are often the ones who know less about our civilization.

I would argue that synthetic bovine insulin is much more important than Hollywood or social media, but YMMV.

I would also argue that the telescope, the printing press, the telephone, the cinematograph and the world wide web together had the biggest impact on human culture since the invention of writing and agriculture, they basically boostrapped the modern society as we know it.

I would also argue that steam power is known since the ancient Egypt and that the steam engine is from the 16th century, USA wasn't even a thing back then

Here's the thing about that: lots of particles have been found in the placenta[1]. In the case of the study that found microplastics[2], they found 12 particles in 4% of the volume. 12 - total. So maybe 300 total particles. In about 600 total grams of placenta. It's difficult to put a scale on how few that actually is.

So the issue here is we're not really talking about a unique threat, just a vector of an existing one. In terms of bioactive compounds which could find their way to the placenta, metals and carbonaceous soot are going to be a lot worse then inert plastics (of note: the paper involved notes that the primary possible mechanism is the microplastic acting as a carrier delivering bioactive molecule - not the material itself).

It is also worth noting that in the same study, 2 of the studied placental samples showed no microplastic contamination. Which is to say, given the transport mechanism proposed - inhalation of particles - it's quite likely that the medium is not things ingested in the GI tract, but rather airborne contaminants.

Which would make a lot more sense, seeing as how if micro or nanoparticles were routingly migrating through the gut, we'd suffer serious problems with bacterial infection, or just dealing with something like soluble fiber (which is essentially a plastic - long chain cellulose - that isn't digested).

So the question isn't "why not avoid it?" it's, "are you even avoiding it?" The GI tract is a relatively robust system that's very good at rejecting the external world from it. Whereas your lungs are pretty much a direct link to the blood from the atmosphere.

How many days work is it to build a deployment of an Elixir app with Pulumi, Github Actions and AWS?

As someone not incredibly experienced with devops, I always wonder what is best with databases? Should they be provisioned in Pulumi or do I just manually create them in RDS?

Secrets Manager seems like a bit of a pain point as does IAM which I think I just about understand until I get lost! Giving everything access to ingress and egress also seems a bit overly complex/powerful.

Nxs-data-anonymizer – open-source tool to anonymize databases dump
Hello everyone! Let me introduce my open source project — nxs-data-anonymizer. It's a tool for anonymizing PostgreSQL and MySQL databases dumps.

Why do you need an anonymizer?

Usually you need some data for development but where you can find them? The easiest way — take them from a production database but I'm sure security guys will be against. Another way — take data from a production database, delete all sensitive data and run a databases server only for developers. But it's inconvenient for developers. This problem can be solved by anonymized databases dumps. nxs-data-anonymizer automatizes the process of making "fresh dump".

Features

- PgSQL (all versions) and MySQL/MariaDB/Percona (all versions) are supported
- Flexible data faking based on Go templates and Sprig template library like the Helm. Also you may use a values of other columns for same row to build more flexible rules
- Stream data processing. That's mean you can a use the tool through a pipe in command line and redirect dump from source DB directly to the destination DB with required transformations
- Easy to integrate into your CI/CD

I would be grateful for your PR and stars!

> In particular, it does not support: generics

What kind of support is there for generics in the JVM? Maybe I'm too naive to assume that due to type erasure on bytecode level everything is just an Object, ie. a reference type? Or do you mean the class definition parser - but then, you don't really have any checks in place to see if the class file is valid (other than the basic syntax)?

I dont know why people use relational databases other than they were first and “that’s the way it’s always been done”.

Why not use a graph database? O(1) lookups instead of O(N). Why need indices if you can just point to the data. Why use JOINs when map-reduce querying is far more flexible?

The lifecycle of (artificial) plastic stuff in the biosphere is one of these bold, impact agnostic technological adaptations whose true footprint only reveals as densities and exposures become systemic and get integrated over time.

Our mental models and economic organization are simply not geared to long term, insidius, slow cooking phenomena. If a profitable and desirable convenience is not immediately and obviously harmful it assumed to be "ok" for the long term and at scale.

At some point we might have to switch to a thinking pattern where every and any technology that is applied at planetary scale must undergo a long and exhaustive testing process before being deployed.

This will have a dampening effect on innovation in certain areas, but we must accept that moving "fast and breaking things" at planetary scale is no longer a viable strategy.
