Thank you for your reply. As far as I can see from the responses, people didn't quite get what I was trying to say right (purely my fault, of course). Probably due to several factors: my tone, presentation of information, English is not my first language and so on. But these are all excuses and I admit it.

I would like to note in advance once again - I am not trying to offer any specific solution. The text is not written for marketing purposes.
Also, I am not suggesting to throw away all modern technologies, as it may seem. I am not a fan of such revolutions :)

Current technologies, for the most part, offer a balanced solution to the problems faced by web developers. Yes, with its own peculiarities and limits, but nothing is perfect. And that's perfectly fine. Moreover, every such technology throughout the years has been literally necessary for the overall development of the sphere. And despite everything I have said, none of them can be thrown out or said to be useless.

Also, as some may have mistakenly noted, I'm not from the mobile development field, so I don't seem to be trying to pull approaches specifically from that field. Well, at least consciously.

In general my main message is that maybe to solve the problems at hand in web development we don't necessarily need technologies that bring their own syntaxes, transpilers, modified html and so on? I'm not suggesting that custom syntax is a bad thing.

All I'm saying is that maybe it's time to look beyond the introduction of unique snowflake-like technologies? And start using what our own platform offers us and develop its usability. Perhaps not in the form that was presented, but in some other form. But, at least for me, it looks potentially possible.

We've already hit enough bumps in the road with current solutions and I believe that smart engineers (not me, haha) will be able to offer us something better.

helpfulContrib, an account that was green just last week, sure seems to post a lot of things that Vlad would like “get out there”.
Though in the case I heard the viewing was less passive: the kid was being encouraged to seek out adverts for more in-game whatevers.
I interviewed with both Canonical and Meta 6 months ago. The Canonical process is far more intense, and yes, it's a big time investment "on spec" for a candidate (I'd estimate it at 7 man-days, 4 for the written essay alone), along with 10 interviews.

They do read the essay carefully, which is what the OP's article is all about.

I'd rather a company take time to do a thorough assessment of a candidate rather than cavalierly hire one with a high likelihood of dismissal during the trial period, as they may have left an existing job to join.
Nonsense. There are battery electric trucks in every vehicle class you can name. 200 tonne road trains in Australia, check. Mining trucks, check. Not a problem. There are also multiple electrical class 8 semi's on the road already. Tesla class 8 semis is a good example. But you can also get similar trucks from e.g. Volvo. Long distances buses, school buses, vans, etc. All available right now.

As cost of the batteries comes down, these things will only become more popular.

A given frameworks may be incredibly useful given the right project, but they also involve massive trade offs.

Being a good programmer is about being capable of using less accessible technologies. A limited toolkit eventually means using the wrong tool for the job. A competent programmer should know how to leverage a least one ORM, but they should also know raw SQL etc.
The "top-up numerous times" is actually "once every 200 km or less often" for most EVs. You might even not need to top up your battery if your sleeping arrangements include a destination charger.

About the saturation point, I fully agree. There are two mitigating circumstances though:

1.- EV drivers with an option to charge at home will do that most of the time; apartment dwellers don't have it so easy, but at least in France the law is on their side to set up charging spots if they have a private parking spot.

2.- Building new high-speed charging stations is not very expensive, and does not require a large amount of maintenance in the long run.

One last point: the convenience afforded by ICEs and petrol stations should become stigmatized, and I wish for a tipping point in public perception, where driving an ICE where an EV would do is seen as a selfish and disrespectful choice.
WPF was left to wither about the time .NET Core came out. In typical Microsoft fashion, they "deprecated without deprecating" it. They instead worked on the successor, MAUI, but were beaten to the punch by Avalonia. MAUI also took a "mobile-first" approach; There's tons of documentation about making mobile apps for it, but not as much for desktop apps. It's like they're trying to upset React Native. Avalonia, instead, focused on desktop apps, and seems to have won out in that space.
LFS, Crux, and Gentoo probably changed my life in profound ways 20 years ago. At the time, I thought I was kicking the tires on desktop Linux.

What I was actually doing was learning how to apply critical thinking in the real world. Every abstraction layer removed from a subsystem tends to require increased reasoning from the user. Maybe even a little ingenuity.
There a few snarky answers to your question but the real answer is simple: what CEOs do is extremely hard, they don't just need to build a rocket, they need to build a 1,000 person team capable of producing rockets. Despite what some people may think there's no 1 person who has all the knowledge required to put a rocket into space, so the CEO is responsible for bringing all that knowledge together. Take a look at the flip-side - this bad CEO has been basically fired, how many billions of dollars do you think he cost Bezos through his failure? Would you have paid someone twice his salary if you thought they could do better?
Let's face it, HTML is a markup language and that's the presentation layer. It allows for anyone to inspect a page and find a component or UI element.

What Reactive frameworks got right is to respect that. Separate presentation (HTML) from the logic (JavaScript: props, derived, methods, etc). Directives à la Vue are easy to understand and inject in the HTML markup.

What they also got right is to modularize UI elements into components.

This makes for any developer that master HTML to rapidly understand the code of any front-end code base.

> The process is ethically neutral, or oblivious if you will.

I like 'oblivious' here, as it seems to me a matter of chance about who will achieve a breakthrough. It does seem to me that once a breakthrough is achieved by someone it will be used to enhance their power over others (counterexamples welcome!) To my mind, this power calls into doubt its ethical neutrality. Yes, it is the people in possession who are making the ethical choices... but they are ethical choices enabled by the technology.

If I was setting a goal to write blog posts it would be 1 a week for a year knowing I might write 2 some weeks and skip a week so about 50 a year.

At that rate I’d say I’d have something worth saying most of the time but somebody would accuse some of the articles of being filler and they’d be right, at least sometimes.

If you were going to write 1000 blog posts in a year that is about 3 posts a day, even if it your full time job that’s not a lot of time to research it, think about it, write it, edit it, think about it some more, revise it, etc.

If I had the goal of writing 1000 blog posts in a shorter time than that I’d be look to automation for help.

> what does this refer to if not women entering the labour force?

It was a reference to women having to enter the workforce due to inflation. Only a little over half of women want to work outside the home: https://news.gallup.com/poll/267737/record-high-women-prefer.... For women with children under 18, only 45% want to work while 50% want to be homemakers.

The fact we’re talking about “universal childcare” while ignoring the equally large if not larger demand women have for staying at home shows our warped priorities. Instead of universal childcare, we should just pay families for children and let them decide whether to use the money for childcare or to enable one parent to stay home.
Contract management is critical for meeting the demands of healthcare providers. If left ignored, the vast amount of documents and documentation can pile up over time and cause problems. To address insecurity, every hospital or healthcare facility must rely on healthcare contract management automation at some point.
> what is this giving you more than using svelte or something like lit-html?

1. that's a trade off. From my point of view most framework provide short term win at the cost of the long run, this short term win is what we call "nice dev experience" and the long term cost is on the maintenance side when your dependencies will be rotten or someone will realise a dependency of your dependency of your dependency was disguised as a trojan. I don't get paid to upgrade my OSS project, if I can make that part much simpler, that's a BIG win for me even if the code doesn't look as nice as in svelte

2. The end goal is to enable people to change the end product by pushing patch of the frontend without having to recompile anything. I have many people contacting me to make changes to the UI and I can't make it because it doesn't make sense for 99% of the users, with this approach I can make a plugin for 1 dude without affecting anyone else and by just shoving a diff of what I need to change to enable that use case

3. I can actually read the code of 100% of my dependencies and yes I've had situation where I was asked this question

> HTML made some moves to improve (like the flex display model)...

Except that was CSS, not HTML. HTML is still just a representation of the DOM. Even the attempt at "semantic" elements (<section>, <article>, etc.) has basically failed, and been relegated to ARIA attributes. The "web" has settled on the trifecta of HTML for markup, CSS for layout, and JS for interactivity.

Don't know how compressed memory works for in Windows, but on macOS its role is equivalent to swapping. No memory is compressed unless pages are evicted due to not being used. If memory compression wasn't present then it'd been swapped to disk.
We have gotten it, but with services not websites. Mobile providers will sell you an "Unlimited" data plan that throttles everything after 25GB a month. Streaming Spotify and Apple Music won't count against that soft data cap. Streaming other music services will count against it. Video streaming over YouTube, Netflix, etc is capped at 480p levels. If you pay an additional monthly fee, you get upgraded to "Unlimited Plus" which will increase your soft cap to 40GB a month and your video streaming quality to 1080p. It'll also bundle in Netflix's basic level and give you 6 months of Apple+ for "free".
I can't read the article (paywall) but what always strikes me when people prepare for societal collapse is that we can't really survive very well outside a society.

Maybe you can stock up on food, water and ammunition, buy solar panels and batteries and so on. Maybe you build yourself a vegetable garden, even with a medicinal herb corner. Fine.

But what when your appendix starts to hurt? What if your precious batteries need servicing? Where will you buy pesticide and fertiliser to keep your garden producing? I just don't think a single person, or an atomic family, can cover all these specialisations. And even if you could, the hungry zombies from the collapsed society will come, and there's only so much ammo you can stockpile.

No, if society collapses, there's no escape, and we're dead. Dying of hunger might be the nice and gentle thing to wish for then. So preparing for that particular eventuality is a waste of time. You just can't prepare. Might as well cross our fingers and hope that, yes, it will be hot, climate will be terrible, but somehow humanity will plod on. At least in my locale.
Satellite-to-satellite forwarding is still being rolled out with Starlink, and without that, every satellite needs to have a ground station within its view to work.

The initial constellation also lacked polar orbits, which limits the maximum latitude at which satellites are available.

But both are being addressed now, and then it’s really only a question of regulatory approval.
It’s changing the capital structure from equity based to debt based.

Effectively it’s a change in ownership from stock holders to bond holders. Indeed it’s a sensible move if you are in a non-growth industry with stable and predictable cashflows - this is often how utility companies were financed.

It’s arguable that that was the intent of Bust Out 1.

I'm all in favour of removing the nicotine from our societies, but banning seems a bit strong.

Maybe it could be something like Portugal has, where you have to go through rehab if you are cought consuming certain drugs. But I guess that would cost the government a bit more money compared with just outright banning cigarettes.

> I know for a fact that there's at least one company (that I can't name) that offers what I would call "Addiction as a Service".

Ouch. Of course they do.

I don't even know why reading this surprised me at first. With the explosion of mobile games following pretty much the same addiction mechanics but with different skins, it was only a matter of time for someone to package mechanics and offer them in form of a backend service.
Because that would be collective punishment and illegal under international law. Of course, that doesn't stop Israel bulldozing Palestinians' houses.

One of the main excuses for not deploying 5G at the moment is the alleged lack of access to "urban furniture". More precisely , they don't want to pay. Basically they want the people to pay for it with their taxes and the rack up the profits with contracts.

I'm sure this has something to do with that, it would be cheaper for them to replace 3G infrastructure with 5G.
I seem to recall seeing it more a few years ago but there were definitely "Unlimited whatsapp" etc. style deals around. Maybe it's less relevant as data has gotten cheap enough so as to be a non-issue for most people.

Couple years back I joined a paid accelerator program to write a mobile game under the wings of some company. My eyes were opened after having a fun time creating my game when the time came to publishing and tweaking. My mentors from the company explained to me the _requirements_ for it to succeed. Basically every change from that point was about manipulation. In order for the game to be high on the charts it needs to meet very specific metrics so subsequently the game was dumbed down so as much people can "have fun" as possible, levels were tweaked to control exactly how much time people spend on their "sessions". Mechanisms were introduced to limit how fast the game can be played and for how long (without paying). Certain tresholds were introduced where difficulty would be unfairly raised in order to create frustration and at the calculated times fake "promotions" of in-game purchases were supposed to be introduced. Updating the game exactly after getting a positive google review with game rating option - click 5 stars to get a reward and be forwarded to game page to post a review ; or click less than 5 stars and just have the pop-up closed without forwarding.
Even thogh my game wasn't a simple clicking and getting rewarded and I put a lot of work into making it fun, challenging, dynamic and generally _mine_ I was sucked into the same situation as everyone else on the mobile games market. My game lost all the appeal to me and I couldn't keep it up. Creating another exploitation machine takes all the fun out of gamedev.
As a Teams user on the crappy PCs the company gives, this is an argument I can get behind.

Genuine answer! You've made me reconsider quite a lot, actually. Intuitively I'd say yes, it should be legal to do that. But then, I would consider that a violation of property, because really, a child is unlikely to understand the consequences of a herion addiction. But then I suppose nobody addicted to herion really understands the consequences of addiction, or they wouldn't buy herion.

Which almost makes me reconsider my entire political standpoint. So thanks! I can't answer your question, but I assure you, you have me thinking.

Little Snitch required a kernel extension until the Network Filter API was introduced. Homebrew required SIP to be disabled when it was first introduced but that's almost definitely fixed now. Some other software like certain hypervisors could have required it. I just think it's more likely for someone to disable SIP than find a different program that doesn't mind it, and those programs were all over the place when it was first introduced. Less so now, I suppose.

> If you need kernel extensions you should look for a different solution, at least on the Mac.

In 2023 sure.
You must be confused.
>This article comes across as a narrative in search of a justifying story: it could just have easily used a 1980s example of corporate raiding instead

Oh, that's your point. Yeah, your leaders trading stocks on insider info, politicians selling influence to foreign governments..it's always happened, so who cares?
> We constructed a society

That's just nature. Unless you'd argue that bonobos have "defined a moral system" because they have "constructed a society" that is built on mutual cooperation, all humans have done is find increasingly abstract ways to cause harm to one another in order to work around the natural tendency towards cooperation.

What makes human morality special is not how we support each other but how we hurt each other. And this is a fairly recent achievement even in our own species' historical timescale.
It sounds like your specifically fighting your distros problem, or something that its not your understanding.
