99.9% of humanity is on my side on this. You're free to have your opinion just keep in mind it isn't valid just because you say it is. I told you how things are and you did not refute what I said, you just made ideological statements and mental gymnastics to help you hold on to your opinion.

Very valid points, which I agree with.

I'm curious. When are you searching for `html` and `css` and not using the https://lit.dev docs, or already reading about them in some way? This is literally the first criticism I'm ever heard of the template tag names.

Did you see a code snippet and want to learn more?

`html` and `css` are just functions we vend. They're important ones, but two among many. The names need to be short and intuitive so that when you see something like:

html`<p>Hello world</p>`

both the developer and tools know what to expect of the string content. Naming them something unique would really harm readability, IMO.

Sure, but I strongly suspect that it was a part of the corpus (it's been online for ~5 years now).
> The lower income folks have simpler taxes usually

Not sure about that. They qualify for a lot of complex rebates and stuff. When you make a certain level that they consider middle-class, suddenly your taxes become a lot easier (in a bad way).
Java edition still seems to allow connecting to arbitrary servers:

'Different from rental server, the owner has full permission
Usually adopt third-party server application'

So there is a way around?

Edit: and tbh in China they're more likely to play a pirated java edition.
It's a bit elitist[1]. They're saying we should expect 3x better performance from engineers. We should also expect them to write good code at this pace. The only reason we don't have these things is that most engineers are simply bad engineers. Only people the author perceives as good enough should ever be used as a metric of normal productivity. Presumably the author puts themselves in this group of good engineers.

You can trust the media to do the right thing...
We have been able to bug phones, homes, offices, whatever, for years to keep the country safe. If enough people had a major issue with that they’d start a new political party and vote it in.

Personally I quite like it. Evidence suggests there’s quite a lot of people trying to blow us up and stuff.

Can’t it be both?
Right, but it’s likely a law firm you’re wiring to, not an individual.

The GP was saying they use wire transfers between friends day-to-day which isn’t the case in the US.
In general, countries that rank high in this index, are countries that "work well" with the 'community of nations'. Regardless how one may feel about that.

In my case (Dutch passport): the Netherlands is a member of many inter-governmental organizations, regarded as trustworthy & often working to advance common goals. Longtime stable democracy, financial & (mostly) functional legal system. And thus travellers carrying a Dutch passport are welcomed in many places.

It's easy to see that for example socialist-leaning nations may not be 'liked' by the US (and vice versa, often for good reasons), and prefer to go their own way. I don't judge / have no beef with that. A sovereign state is just that.

But net result may well be that such a country takes part in fewer trade agreements, is a member of fewer 'country communities', and has less-friendly relations with some other countries.

And for example an assortment of African countries may be recovering from colonial history, or too busy with internal problems to focus much on international relations.

Again: no judgement here. It is what it is. But these things are exactly what tends to produce lower rankings. Rub some countries the wrong way, and find your citizens are less welcome there.
I wrote some code that was years ahead of a distinguished engineer's existing code. He immediately saw where I was going and adjusted his code accordingly (by dropping my branch and authoring a new branch. I assume because he didn't understand git, but I believe he was protecting his future performance review). Some people won't admit someone else can write better than them.
>Web Components work in every browser that matters.

Reading between the lines here I'm getting the feel that this is actually, "Web Components work in every browser that people use to spend money." And I don't disagree. If you're doing something for work and being paid to do it then by all means use web components. The large number of people around the world you exclude weren't part of the demographic you were going to get money from.

But saying that it works in every browser that matters is wrong.
What do you mean by replacing trust with crypto? Like in 'code is law'? If so, yeah, you can't replace one thing with the other because they're fundamentally different things that may only overlap in certain areas.

But on a broader scale, I don't see what in cryptography makes power inherently more concentrated. Crypto is just a way for enforcing certain trust relations that have already been established or agreed upon. Just like you can use crypto to help centralise power (e.g., allowing you to only run signed applications that can only show signed content), you can use crypto to help decentralise power with tools for confidentially presenting content and allowing you to vet your applications haven't been tampered with.

In both cases the underlying technology has many common components, and what changes is the use you make of it.

this is actually a huge issue with a lot of important jobs in america - they aren't valued commensurate to the work and value.

So many fields that require high skills and a lot of education pay far too little compared to software/analytics. One works just as hard but the pay is not comparable - it doesn't make economic sense to do a lot of the non-software jobs.
They retail investors, just like the people who patronize all of those businesses are retail customers.
No one? That's a rather brash statement to make. Here in Ireland I can count on zero hands how many people use credit cards on a day to day basis. Debit cards are the norm in much of the EU I would assume.
Same happened with me, though technically not an audit, and in my case the IRS didn't actually know the cost basis for the stock sale. I had to tell them, otherwise they assumed 0 and were going to bill me a lot more. So that's why they needed me.

Which goes to another stupid thing, for some reason the RSU brokerage doesn't report the cost basis. I guess to make it more annoying to sell company stock.
You can think it's idiosyncratic, but I can assure you (both as an Asian and as someone who knows quite a few Asians) that many (maybe the majority of) Asians whose views on race-based treatment/preferences have changed were driven by the eventual recognition that they exist in the racial in-between. They get almost none of the "privilege" that white people do while getting none of the "protections" that other minorities do. And, at the same time, they are often penalized for being Asian.

It's not surprising or idiosyncratic that an Asian's viewpoint on race has evolved as they've spent more time being exposed to America's racial hypocrisy and experienced more and more of this in-betweenness.
maybe there's no good code but there's degrees of terribleness. It can make all the difference in the ability to safely add to it in a timely manner or not.

SSR support is coming along. It's taking a while because we're trying to do it in an interoperable way, both to allow mixing of web components from different libraries, and to plug into framework-specific SSR (There are Lit SSR plugins for Next and Nuxt available).
Actually, the reason that real world isn't always Gaussian isn't only that sums take a long time to become Gaussian. Another factor is that the Gaussian isn't the only distribution that's "stable" in summation.

Yes, a sum of random variables that satisfies the central limit theorem will be Gaussian but this requires that the random variable have finite mean and variance and there are plenty of random variables/distributions not satisfying this. In general, the L-stable or stable family of describes the general case here.

Notably, Benoit Mandlebrot's study of fractals began with the study of non-Gaussian distributions in financial markets and other situations. For example, Financial markets are a sum of price jumps but those jumps aren't of similar size - rather a few large jumps can have bigger impact than all the small together.

It’s because there’s no roadmap to success here.

The Manhattan project and the moonshot were implementation problems, not theoretical ones. By 1939 we knew that a runaway nuclear reaction was possible and Werner von Braun probably could have worked out the fuel you’d need to get to the moon on the back of a napkin. It took a lot of ingenuity to get there, but both problems seemed achievable given enough resources.

On the other hand, we don’t even know where to begin to “cure cancer”, because it’s thousands of different diseases with different causes and prognoses. There are cancers that essentially are curable with enough of a headstart. Of the ones that we’ve “cured” there’s little in common in their origins and they all have wildly different treatments. Curing cancer isn’t dumping money at solving one achievable problem - it’s an open-ended investment in tackling thousands of independent problems.

There are ideas for universal treatments for cancer and aging - hundreds of them. Which ones do we dump our billions and billions into investigating?
If that's the definition of "on board", we really don't have any useful information on if citizens (or residents) are on board or not. Other than if they stage a protest, they're probably not on board, but then again we don't know how many of the people who didn't attend the protest aren't on board but didn't go to the protest for whatever reason.

I don't think there were protests about the moon landing, but maybe some small ones I never heard about.

This is all just happening on the coattails of AI's popularity right? Hasn't the technology to do this, and whatever similar stuff people are complaining about, been available for years? Were all the agents in whatever matrix movie individual actors? Didn't Justin Timberlake perform with dead Micheal Jackson a decade ago?

People are just milking AI hype.

Or is there really some material step change that's happened?
We need it to cheaply build all the things that are made of those elements. We also need to stop strip mining our home for those things if we can avoid it. We might also want to use those things in space where it's harder to launch them from earth.

We absolutely love Lit. We've used it for our Web Components after a brief (bad) dalliance with using Angular Elements to make some.

We pair it with Storybook, finicky though it is, to have a catalog of our components and stories showing off the variances for each.
What browsers do web components not work in that you would like to see support them?

I think "every browser that matters" means, yes they don't work in IE or legacy Edge, and maybe don't work in Servo or Ladybird, but they work in Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Safari, Opera, etc.

One of the biggest issues we have to solve is the indexing and verification of knowledge. This is where I hope AI and ML will go, but being able to say whether the data is unique or derived from another source and being able to catalog it is something that is entirely lacking.

Right now there is just too much shit out there and it’s difficult to know what the context is for it.

When I use ChatGPT I feel like I'm looking at a different technology than other people. It's supposed to be able to answer every question and teach me anything, but in practice it turns out to be a content-farm-as-a-service (CFaaS?) Copilot is similar, it's usually easier for me to write the code than iterate through it to find the least bad example and then fix the bugs.

That said, AlphaGo went from "hallucinating" bad moves to the best player in the world in a fairly short period of time. If this is at all doable for language models, GPT-x may blow all this out of the water.

Faster settlement can also have stabilizing effects. With less money in transit there's less counter-party risk. Annoying rules like having to wait 10 bank days to spend money from a larger check you deposited can go away. The whole point of a checking account is liquidity.
Depends on your definition of "programming." If you mean "putting code together" then maybe even more than half. If you mean "engineering" then a very small fraction.

I am not sure what point is being made here. This seems to be splitting hairs.

Regardless, it makes sense to default to the docs for the version which is considered to be officially released. That version is probably most likely to be used in a production application, which is usually what the docs are intended to support.

You said 80% of blah blah then drcry the use of statistics. You just forced-fed that to everyone

When did people lost the ability to experience empirical reality, and generalize and draw conclusions from it

No one lost this ability it's just an objectively worse way to come to a conclusion. Making generalizations is bad, it's weird you would openly propose doing it.

empirical experience of reality (and, in this case, their years of exposure to watching media, reading media, reading about media, and seeing media coverage unfold and evaluated)

You're simply describing anecdotal evidence which has little value especially if there's alternatives and it's
being used to make a conclusion. It's fine to offer up anecdotes but with supportering information. However what the media does and tells you isn't your own personal experiences.

Also, watching and observing all media or just your own selected media where people tell you something is the way it is.

The issue is a persons limited ability to observe as well as confirmation bias,and memory lead to faulty conclusions.

as opposed to having everything force-fed in the form of some statistic?

You're claiming statistics have less value than limited personal observations?

You also used the phrase "forced-fed" as a manipulation tactic to make people think whatever you mentioned after it is bad. Like if I said "My mom force fed us hamburgers for dinner" instead of "My mom made hamburgers for dinner".

I want banks and stripe and gateways and shopify and visa/mc to weed out bad actors fast.

and if some small shop starts to transact a lot, let them manage their risk, don't require consumer side credit for this.

there's already a ton of data, endless kyc/aml paperwork put on consumers and banks/gateways they should figure it out, and if someone still insists on paying hundreds of thousands on totally-free-bitcoins.top after the bank, the app, the browser, their neighbor warned them then let them. and let them try a chargeback.
It's absolutely impossible for prison to morally absolve prisoners: most do not enter there willingly (i.e., they plead not guilty) and their entire freedom to do anything, much less make amends, is stripped away.
