On the frontend, Java was dropped fairly early on. Long before the iPhone effectively killed plugins. The backend has always been less prone to singular dominant monocultures, had far more stickiness, and greater diversity of implementation than frontend.

There are 1980s mainframes still running COBOL, especially in older, more conservative industries like banking. Those same banks have cycled their public web front ends literally dozens of times since the mid 1990s.

PHP still does A LOT of heavy lifting even if the front ends have bounced between scriptless HTML forms, PrototypeJS, Mootools, YUI, jQuery, Angular, React, etc.

It's not about programming language on the front end (unless that language is JavaScript, but that's a whole other conversation). It's the implementation of layers on top of JavaScript and the browser APIs, and those will remain rapidly shifting sand for quite some time.

Remember, jQuery had about a decade of prominence in the web dev community before the component-based frameworks were released and fairly abruptly drowned it out. That said, jQuery is still far and away the most popular JS library deployed today.

React isn't going away, but something else will always eventually take center stage and suck all the oxygen out of the room during new web dev planning.
You could just as easily construct an arbitrary usability test over interop that the web platform excels at while current desktop apps do terribly. For instance:

* Send a link to a Google Drive document to another person on WeChat: Pass

* Send a link to a Microsoft Word document to another person on Slack: Fail

The web has different paradigms and some of them are an improvement, one being hyperlinks, another being instant delivery just for example (no install time).
Absolutely, assert anything and everything! Especially the obvious conditions that would never be violated when it's working.
> Please check yourself here; who is “we”?

I do mean we as in humankind.

> Clearly the Portuguese and Spanish still love their pulpo, so we as a “collective” of humans have apparently not collectively re-evaluated our values over time, deciding that eating meat is cruel and savage.

I'm saying we evolve our collective moral views in general. For example, slavery even just 300 years ago was way more prevalent than today, and more people find it morally reprehensible. It still exists today, but it's a clear example of an area we've collectively re-evaluated our values over time. The acceptance of homosexuality and interracial relationships are even more recent. Do you disagree that we've evolved as a collective on those issues?

Sure, today it's not a majority view that eating octopus is "absolutely reprehensible" but imo that's a valid point of view and there's no telling whether that will become the majority opinion. If Christians get to walk around saying "we believe everyone else goes to hell" then I'm not going to complain about someone from expressing their opinion that octopus consumption is barbaric. You can say both groups are equally intolerant (Christians and octopus-lovers) but I'd encourage you to consider how they're different too, because they are.

I think the key point in your reaction is interpreting this sentiment as cultural slander. Reminder that cultural practices don't automatically become things we all have to respect. Like, do you have any reservations about cultural repression of women (e.g. certain Islamic countries as an extreme example)? I sure do, and I think that's okay. Would you have considered anti-slavery folks intolerant 300 years ago just because their viewpoint cut against the (global!) cultural grain?

Re: multiple PoE filters for MoCa..

My MoCa network was terribly unstable with a filter at the entry point, until I also added a 2nd filter on the cable going into the modem.

No idea why, but wanted to add this in case it helps anyone. Lots of trial and error but once figured out, the network has been extremely stable for years.

Also make sure all splitters are compatible with MoCa (some aren’t)

These are the adapters I use.

No parent has ever told me they wished they had given their kid a phone sooner.

My mind turns to milestones. Maybe puberty is the key, when social groups get more complex. Maybe it’s when they get a driver's license, and can travel a city away at the drop of a hat. Maybe it’s when they start attending parties, and you want them to be able to get out or home the moment they feel unsafe. It probably depends on the kid and their peers, but all those are around 13-15.

Screens aren’t themselves bad; my kid has great fun playing crosswords and code deciphering games, and it’s practically no different from the paper versions.
Kids are 11 and 15. Both have phones, laptops and share a switch and Quest. No limits. They watch and play as much as they want so long as they do homework, maintain hygiene and get some physical and social activity. They're both healthy and well-adjusted. My oldest is at an elite STEM school, younger one is doing well enough. The STEM kid in particular, they literally use their phones in class. Teachers tell them to look things up, use calculators, text classmates for group projects, find links on Google Classroom or watch lectures on YouTube. The war on phones is over and phones have won.

There are, in fact, studies showing that smart phone usage isn't bad:

I don't understand, is your reasoning that South Korea should become a poor country?

Yes poor people have more babies, but those poor people are becoming a smaller set in South Korea. You now need to analyze why, specifically, SK's (and many other country's) middle class aren't having children.

CourtDrive | Perl Developer | REMOTE| Market | Full-time | CourtDrive.com & CourtAPI.com

At CourtDrive.com and our sister website, CourtAPI.com, we are building solutions that enable law firms and other power courthouse website users to become more efficient by automating daily tasks. Conceptually we’re building an ETL system with fuzzy data sources and an API in front of the end results. We’re based in Los Angeles but have a remote team worldwide (Canada, Europe, Armenia to name a few). We’re looking for a Perl developer to help us advance our mission by: building new webservices by scraping state court websites and court emails, building and supporting our CourtAPI solution, and helping keep our modern Perl codebase well oiled. Currently on Perl 5.38.

Testimonial from a team member: “Long story, but I worked there for maybe 6ish months part time a while back. They offered me full time, but I ended up going to a startup because I wanted to learn some specific technologies + up my skills in Data Science. That job was definitely good for some people, but it wasn’t as remote as they advertised it (had me fly in a lot), and the team was somewhat difficult to work with ;) I ended up starting my own consulting and at the same time CourtDrive reached back out to me (perfect timing). Point I was trying to make was that I went back to work with them because they were so nice to work with. Not super demanding and very open to listening to ideas/suggestions - just a pleasant environment.”

Full job listing and specific skills we are looking for: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zezDxt7FM59oInpS2kNhqEpn...

One of the places edge deployment (building on the post's definition of running on a distinct device closer to the user of the service) is booming is computer vision. There are many things to be seen in the world, and not all of them are near internet connection or able to wait for a roundtrip API call.

This breaks down edge vs cloud deployments (in the context of a computer vision machine learning model), and the tradeoffs are generally applicable: https://blog.roboflow.com/deploy-computer-vision-models/
As long as I see that my kid understands and can demonstrate responsible limits, apps are fine.

The only thing I require is that device usage has a purpose (ie write what you are going to do down) and is not just a distraction.

I don't have a policy for a personal device, but if most of time spent is with parents or or at school, they don't need one. I'm probably thinking middle or high school at least.
Powerline AV2 has been very reliable for me in multiple locations (four houses/apartments in 2 different countries) with both netgear and d-link equipment. If it’s not working for you honestly I’d look at having the house wiring checked because it might well be weird, faulty, improperly grounded, “floated” and a number of other things.
Condition people to view generating your own energy as "freedom." This will shift mindset about solar panels as "freedom." People will flock to hybrids, drastically cut C02 emmissions without spending more or needing decent charging infra. I'm sure others can go one and one with more advantages.
My parents did this for me, and it worked like a charm.

I don't think most people come across a 500 comment issue and need to
start in the middle.

a.) The threshold for reducing clutter is well less than 500, and comments disappear for a variety of reasons besides. If Github deems a comment irrelevant they'll try to collapse it.

b.) Yes, I often want to start in the middle. If I'm searching for a specific error message or class some of the search results include issues where that keyword was only mentioned in a hidden comment.
It usually means that you have outdated data. Update the app, update the data, try again.
I think it just takes some outside-the-box thinking. Compromising E2EE is a much easier solution, but there has to be a harder, yet better one. We can't just sidestep important rights for convenience's sake; the right to privacy is being eroded in so many ways that it must be actively safeguarded. If it needs better detective work, so be it.
You may prefer it to jQuery's model, but that doesn't make React's model good.

Try SolidJS. Similar ethos to React but far less boilerplate and performance-killing repaints.

Less code is better, functional or not.
What is retrieval-augmented generation?
On further reading and wondering what some of these terms / tools are: since this is describing a system with un-attended decryption, it seems like it literally requires passwordless access to the disk encryption keys.

If that re-reading is correct: yeah, there's not much choice but to put all hope in your code + the TPM, since you essentially can't wait for a password. You get what you pay for in that case - no password means no password, so you're inherently vulnerable to exploits like this.

The linked article, https://hmarco.org/bugs/CVE-2016-4484/CVE-2016-4484_cryptset... , seems to describe this kind of setup: the exploit gets you root in the boot partition only, but not any encrypted volumes, so encrypted data is still encrypted. An attacker could get access to anything not protected otherwise though, e.g. unencrypted volumes and hardware, which is a potentially big problem for cloud environments but not so much personal device theft (they already have the hardware).
Magic Earth (proprietary app that uses OSM maps) allows you to choose the maximum hilliness you want your cycle route. I've never used cycle routing, so can't comment on how well it works.

Audacity is a cross-platform app that runs on (at least) Linux, macOS and windows (I suspect most other *nixes are supported to).

Also, note that most creative apps (music, video, art) do not follow the UI guidelines for any particular OS platform (partly because they tend to be cross-platform, partly because their needs are very different from office productivity and communications apps. This is true even when the apps are nominally made by Apple for Apple (see Logic Pro or FCP for examples).

Finally, Tantacrul has zero responsibility for the UI appearance of the Audacity that Wavacity is based on.
semi-hyperbole : keep encryption but make it more expensive (maybe by law enforcement having a larger IT budget), and/or fund/cheapen AI CSAM to outmode encrypted sharing of actual CSAM. win win?

As a child brought up by screens, I've never believed that screen time is a problem, so much as what's on the screens.

I wish I could find the clever comment from the parent who talked about "playing defence" with smart phones, which this thread is about, vs "playing offence", finding competing interests and distractions! I try to "play offence" and do trips and social things. But our capitalist hellscape makes it hard for other parents to get that time. So we look for total control or total abstinence, right? I am just optimistic about technology and want my kids to be masters of it.

So my 10yo has had mostly free rein of a laptop & phone since he was about 5, maybe a bit of TV and kids Youtube channels before then. He was reading before 24 months and is a bit of a sponge (& parrot) for whatever he finds interesting. We have lots of weird and interesting conversations about internet culture. I wish he was more interested in long-form things, but he gets great reports from school, so I have no concerns about his ability to learn.

I see his various internet histories, and I've quietly poked on some parental controls: YouTube time limits on long days, or blocking obnoxious bro channels. He likes to draw, spend time with his family, organise play with his friends, but he's published Roblox games too. I spent a lot of time helping him understand addiction, loot crates, pay-to-win and algorithmic horrors (particularly during the pandemic). It took a few months but he's worked out how to deal with all of that - I guess that's a "better under my roof" policy.

My 4yo has a tablet, no particular restrictions but she can kindof forget about it for days in a way that my 10yo wouldn't. She's learning about boring games that suck until you pay for a subscription, and has learned why flicking between new games every single day isn't actually fun. She is just as capable of changing content on YT Kids but sticks with videos. Unlike the 10yo she likes watching long movies, particularly musicals where she will rewind and learn songs. Again I block the odd obnoxious channels: product placement, gender stereotypes, whiny voices or just general artistic bankruptcy.

So (on this thread anyway) it looks like I'm in a minority in being laissez-faire, a little reactive maybe. There are potential harms but I think I'm active and knowledgeable enough to keep them at bay.
Meaning that it’s a matter of priorities and we could just have passenger trains again if we really wanted to. Personally I think freedom of movement is such a public good that it’s wrong to require they be run for profit. Warren Buffet can afford a few holes in the freight timetable.

Or, maybe the admissions committee understands the significance of SAT scores better than you do. From long experience with many students like me, they may have concluded that within their applicant pool, the variations among SAT scores do not predict success at Caltech. They might have found that applicant X having a SAT score delta points higher than applicant Y is just noise and has no predictive power about which will succeed. In my class, about a third of the students who were admitted did not graduate. Many of those who did not finish must have had SAT scores higher than mine.

In the 2020s, when 90% of software development consists of using a database, tooling supplied by various open source projects and some choice of web front- and backends to create a front end to enter/edit/view the database contents, the results are called "apps".

I never said it wasn't successful; I said it had successfully increased complexity.

I am glad you are an experienced React developer. React needs more of you, because the vast majority aren't.

That said, I have little doubt your and your team's experience could implement with most other frameworks as well—frameworks with a shallower learning curve, just as much power, greater performance before reaching for useMemo(…) equivalents, and far far less boilerplate code.

But 100% correct: I dislike React.
I think the only reasonable point is maybe don't let your young kids have social media accounts on global platforms. That makes sense. Otherwise there's so little difference between now and ~20 years ago, which I assume is when a lot of us grew up.

Like, 99% of the porn out there is boring mainstream hardcore stuff which was readily available as soon as internet video became a thing. The only important thing to instill in your kids here is that porn is not normal sex, which is something I figured out pretty quickly.

These don’t look like continuations to me, just ways to use generators? Continuations would involve reifying the current control flow into a value, which these examples don’t seem to do and still rely on generators to yield control.
Seems pretty common to at that point, rename your base “starter base” and then go template out a new megabase somewhere else on fresh territory. IIRC mineral density increases farther away from the start spawn, so there is an incentive to build in one direction?

Considering that something like 4% of the country lives in the city limits of NYC, Chicago, Philly, SF, DC or Boston (ok not everyone within those cities has a driver's license, but you get the point) not to mention the considerably larger fraction in the metro areas, that's probably only true if you're taking about area.

But yes, obviously someone with a driver's license should know how to safely back out of a parking spot without hitting pedestrians, other cars or cyclists.
