I'm not javascript free, but i've been actively pursueing building useful things with as little if any javascript and have been impressed with what I can get done with forms and html templating.

A few years ago moving to a new area I was trying to find a CPA and saw simple brochure sites are loading 10+ mb of resources and 10+ JS snippets and realized how bad things have really gotten, even with an adblocker on these days a 3g network is hardly enough to browse a massive portion of the web.
This has been my experience. I'm going to the gym more, but not necessarily pushing myself to exhaustion every visit. Used to swim more, then switched to running, may shift back to swimming, or more outdoor walking.

But my work schedule is variable enough that focusing on "X @ 7am every day" is not realistic. Yes, I should reorient work around my life, instead of my life around work. Easier said than done, and... even when I've gone through periods of that philosophy (have done it), it didn't have any noticeable impact on my health (mental or physical).
Everybody putting down academia as shit. But somehow we still have GPS satellites, fibre optics and AI machinery that can nearly think.

Assuming in git you would keep it as untracked file in the working copy, I find jj’s automatic anonymous working copy commit better.

For once, it avoids the downsides of carrying untracked files around. Ever accidentally committed an untracked file somewhere deep in history during a long rebase?

Also I find it clearer what files are committed: every file - except if it is in .gitignore. Meanwhile in git you scourge through your untracked files before each commit to decide which ones you don’t want to add. Ever accidentally committed all files and forgot that there were untracked files you didn’t want?

I heard some banks "fixed" the Y2K problem by shifting the offset, i.e. defining that year numbers from "00" to, say, "15" were interpreted as "2000" to "2015", giving them some time to fix the problem without the stress... ... and then doing nothing for a decade or so.

The financial world has not collapsed so far, so they must have found some way to deal with that. But I'm not sure I really want to know what "solution" they went for.
>it's the same as the backwards bend Windows users are doing to avoid jumping to something easier like Linux Mint

No need to be snarky for a cheap shot at windows users who never bothered you with anything, not everyone is trying to avoid jumping or trying to jump.

Get out of your (tech) bubble and touch some grass, plenty of Average Joe users are contempt using what's familiar and works for them out of the box with their Lenovo/Asus laptop, and use their free time for other things instead of learning about new GNU/Linux operating systems, because they have other hobbies and uses for their time, so no need to talk down on them off your IT high-horse.

The group of people who can't go 5 minutes without bashing Windows 11, are just a loud minority (who don't use Windows 11 anyway lol) that goes unheard of in the "real world" where people have other stuff on their mind than worrying about their OS.

Just live and let live, and use the energy you put in bashing Windows 11 online, towards something actually productive. Windows 11 users who are really unhappy will seek the change themselves.
> what's the point of having a computer if it can't run your programs?

The point of having a computer is to be able to program it actually. This is not a TV appliance. So I would say the correct answer is port your programs to a better OS.
You didn't provide any details on what performance you need, what you're doing and why the stacks you listed don't meet that need. Typically with DB based apps with an API, a performance bottleneck that happens more often than the web language is in the DB layer: bad queries, poor/missing indexes and bad table design. Writing poor performing code happens in every language.

One aspect of picking a stack is the options available in the ecosystem around the stack for various things you may need to do. Think of common solved problems like generating PDFs and parsing/generating Excel files even if you don't think you'll be doing those (hint you'll probably be doing those). Use those two problem domains as a rubric to evaluate if the ecosystem around your stack choices have options for simple, solved problems like those. If you aren't finding a lot of options that's an indicator you may not find options for other problems where you don't want to DIY a solution and just want a library to do the heavy lifting.

I will call out that you did mention startups so likely performance isn't a concern until you have paying customers. If your stack is a completely separate frontend, that provides an abstraction layer via the API definition where over time you could change out your API stack if you find its performance is lacking. Spend time solving problems you have now while making sure your overall design gives you options for future potential problems.

I call this the definition of done.

It’s when my kids think they’re done with breakfast but haven’t washed their hands.

It’s when a PM is done with a feature when it’s deployed to production but its success hasn’t been measured.

It’s when I’m done with writing a blog post but haven’t proofread it.

Defining done and having stakeholders agree on the definition is how we move forward. Without that, the entropy of work trends to empty busyness.

The court found they were "workers" rather than employees. It's a sort of half-way status in English employment law for people who are neither employees nor self-employed. It provides some, but not all, of the rights of employment. Most relevant here, it guarantees minimum wage.
Yeah this is me. I've been using Windows since version 3, and was a windows dev for many years before focusing on linux and open source. Now Windows is basically for steam games, media consumption and displaying my work laptop using NoMachine (VNC on steroids, since windows is in control of my two Dell 27" displays and a nice keyboard and mouse).

Are you confusing HSTS with HPKP like the other poster?

HSTS says the site has to be https, nothing else. It does nothing if someone gets a valid cert. It exists to prevent every attack weaker than that, such as local MitM.

And mistakes are not catastrophic at all unless you have some horrible legacy setup that can't do https.
It would cost them too much money. Everyone is in for rent seeking these days... back in ye olde days (aka early '00s) you could actually buy operating systems or software, and you could keep using them virtually forever if you were fine that after a year or two you wouldn't get any bugfixes, and no new features at all.

Nowadays, people simply don't have the money to shell out hundreds of dollars for Windows, Office or the Adobe Suite (the CS6 Master Collection was like what, 8.000$?) any more, and so it's cheaper on paper for everyone to either have subscription models (like Adobe or MS Office) or "freemium" models (Windows). Obviously Microsoft has to make up the difference in income somehow, and they chose to go the advertising route. Offering an easy way to get rid of all the invasive advertising and tracking would kill that golden goose.
It is worse than that. The conservative legal movement made corporate torts a big target in the 90s/00s and won a lot of victories limiting the size of judgements and the ability of affected people to sue. Even legislatures followed along based on the idea that torts were getting out of hand.

Even if you have dedicated prosecutors who are able to oppose moneyed interests, the law gives corporations huge tools to wriggle out of suits.

No one has ever been unfairly accused.

The bar for being accused is so incredibly high. People are given so many possible outs and are allowed to produce the most implausible explanations. And then, even having one or two faked papers basically has no impact.

Here's an example.

Ken Rogoff and Carmen Reinhart. Professors at Harvard. Despite having faked the paper that introduced austerity to the world, had an immense impact on the economy, and caused massive and needless suffering for hundreds of millions of people. That paper still continues to haunt countries today. To make their paper work they had to lie 3 times: to exclude some countries, exclude data from others selectively, and reweight all of the data. None of this is reported in their paper! Each of these took deliberate actions on their part, they cannot be mistakes. Every single "mistake" they made is carefully calculated to produce the result they want. Every one of them is needed otherwise their paper would be junk.

What happened to them? Well, Reinhart has been promoted to the Chief Economist of the World Bank and is still a professor at Harvard. Rogoff is still a professor at Harvard too. Their faked paper literally resulted in deaths, toppled governments, and the rise of the alt right in places like Greece.

But they got a promotion for it.

The only people who are afraid are the people who are faking their data. No real scientist is getting accused of anything here.
they definitely have recruiting problems
The US has no concept of “speeding in an emergency” for ordinary drivers. It’s illegal regardless: we allow emergency services to speed because they’re (nominally) qualified to.

And note: we’re talking about a city with extraordinary EMS and urgent care density. I don’t buy the argument that we need to allow repeat offenders on the road regardless, but especially not in NYC.

They're victims of capitalism gone-astray, not traitors. If we abandon them we'll only have each other to talk to. I don't like us enough to do that.

Besides, we have to deal with the consequences of their votes, so it's in our interests to oppose whoever would manipulate them because those manipulators are threats to things that we care about. Things like privacy, and the ability to control the devices that we "own" in ways that contradict the vendor's wishes.
If we are going to talk about OS's failing to boot I have had this plenty of times with various Linux installations in VM's or raspberry pi's.

So not really sure I would specifically hold that against Windows. However I do agree that Windows turning on a feature with Updates is particularly annoying.

Personally the only time I have had that issue on my or my partners computer (at least in the last 10ish years) was when I updated my Nvidia driver and the installer didn't clean up the old one properly. While that is partially Windows fault I struggle to blame Windows specifically for a poor installer.

Testing gets a lot of love, at least in theory. Much less in practice because it is a whole lot of extra work.

As for checksum.ai, is it some kind of fuzzer? I think fuzz-testing is under utilized, in fact, many of my colleagues don't even know that it exists, and I have never been on a project where it was done. Generally, fuzzing is done in the context of security, but I see no reason why it should be limited to it.

> The city my dad lives near Porto Alegre already suffered twice due to extra tropical cyclones. Something that I heard only few times in my childhood.

One thing I noticed is that local governments (and their respective climate departments) are being much more vigilant and proactive with climate events. And we are in a way paying much more attention to the frequency of climate events. Trying to correlate your own experience of "frequency of events" is a very tricky thing, since we can pretty much condition ourselves to rememeber pretty much anything we want.

Back in the day there were tropical storms and cyclones, and we just moved on. But now local governments will proactively cancel school days if there is a even a hint of a heavier storm. Which is great, but it does mess with our ability to actually estimate frequency of events.
I have to use that bloatware every day. Teams is pretty much the definition of it. I agree with the script.
This is why, at least at work,you need a strict definition of done.
A DoD isn't only useful to you and your team but also to the rest of your organisation so that everyone knows that you might still be working on a task/project although you have already finished the most visible part of it.

It helps, in general, to manage expectations.

I use FreeAgent too, though it does have some limitations (for example, it only supports straight line depreciation over up to 7 years at a fixed percentage, and doesn't support diminishing value at all) the fact they don't force you up two additional tiers to bill on multiple currencies is great.
> I wouldn't want any politician (regardless of party allegiance) to agree on any spending if there is not also an agreement on how to finance such spending.

In the case of the debt ceiling spats, Congress has literally already authorized the money to be spent. The debt ceiling prevents the executive branch from borrowing money to spend according to Congress's wishes. That's why everyone thinks it's weird.

The FFT is rarely the only thing you're doing, so at the very least you get to keep the data local if it was already on gpu.
Yeah, I agree. I think games do count as bloat generally, so should be removed by default.

Maybe have a few more questions in the custom mode:

- Remove Teams

- Remove OneNote

- Remove RemoteDesktop

- Remove Games

I would answer yes to all the above but Remote Desktop.

A GUI with a tree view would be best for the custom mode. Then you can drill into the categories.
This article misses the mark terribly. "Zero sum" thinking has some explanatory power for why people line up behind a chosen leader, but it doesn't explain why they choose that leader in the first place.

To me, the reason most people choose liars as leaders is because they prefer comfortable falsehoods to hard truths. Decisions aren't driven by self interest of material benefit, but rather the ego boost of what makes them feel smart/superior/etc. This also applies to nuance that would make people think, which is why for every political topic in the US, the mainstream opinions are invariably based around some ignorant groupthink.

Looking at the US political process with the standard narrative of "people make decisions and leaders carry them out", it's surprising that anything useful comes out of it at all. I'd say the halfway-useful results have more to do with politicians actually working for entrenched business interests, with the main mechanism of elections being to make people think they asked for the results. Of course, that is a horrible dynamic if you actually desire freedom.
Biden has literally said Beau died in Iraq.

Biden also said 150 million Americans were killed by guns.

For context that’s almost half the US population. I can find egregious Joe Biden quotes and lies all day. He’s at least as much of a liar as Trump.
Add along with that ranked choice voting of some sort. Of course, they'll never allow this as then they couldn't have third party candidates to siphon off votes off of the opposing party's nominee.
France had abnormal temperature in June with a complete full month (!) without rain at the time.

Right now it's back to normal weather.
WRT dates, there's no "metric" standard. Not really. E.g. Belgium commonly uses DD/MM/YYYY whereas the Netherlands uses DD-MM-YYYY. Both use "metric standard" for lengths, weights etc. Same with currencies: "13,37 €" vs "€ 13,37" vs
"€13,37", all depending on where in Belgium you are from, vs Dutch in the Netherlands. It's an utter mess.

Which is another reason to let browsers - the user agents - deal with this. There's absolutely no way a lonely JS dev, or even a community around something like MUI to get all this right. And they don't. There's always something broken for me with these custom elements. If it's not some US-centric web-app enforcing their MM/DD/YYYY format, then it's some "ignorant" dev being unaware that in Europe in many countries decimal separators are a comma, or that in Thailand the current year is 2566 and that this is not "too far in the future".
If you need to go faster than the legal speed limit you need proper sirens and flashing lights, along with more training than most drivers have. Call 911 and they will get someone to you.
