Yes, exactly. The requirements of most functional production applications on the web already have so many complicated bits to get right, people shouldn't be burning their energy on what end up being inane details like synchronization UI with state.

At a much much smaller scale however, jQuery and CSS or in many cases just HTML and CSS will do just fine. Knowing which approach to take is the mark of someone with some level of experience above junior.
"Corporate media outlets in Europe and North America have spent the past ten days focusing attention on Israeli suffering rather than exploring the series of events that led to this situation. "
Ok, so Hamas' action were justified?

" I am writing anonymously, because I’m writing from the belly of the beast, because nowadays Israel’s surveillance and political persecution of Palestinians in the 1948 territory is unprecedented, because the fascism and totalitarianism of the colonial project are escalating daily and every word we express involves taking a risk."
I don't like Netanyahus' action in the past but it isnt neither fascist nor tortalitarian.
So why start an article with false facts?
Sure, but felony is not a synonym for bad.

Advocating for breaking the law is also, generally speaking, kosher.

The rental market didn’t cause the homelessness.

Most homeless people weren’t renting in SF before they got homeless. These are the people who just gave up in leave. Has nothing to do with rent prices or housing prices.

Truth is, SF is attractive to homeless people because it has nice weather all year round and the politicians tolerate them.
They won't be if Russia decided to start with a massive air strikes campaign before even starting ground offensive.

But that's not happened - not against the apartment blocks, anyway.
I think Nietzsche was on to something with his concept of the noble classes, according to whom morality becomes fully life affirming, i.e. beyond good and evil. Everything else being based on the herd instincts of the "slave classes."
The irony is that Norway is making money (and to their credit pumping it back to the people) by exploiting fossil fuel.
I'm not sure if that choice would help you much. What drives code into being a mess really? I think it has more to do with wildly changing or unclear requirements, badly adopted scrum, having to deliver at any cost, forcing devs to so stuff they don't want to and so on. Using another programming approach wouldn't fix any of these.
This is the perfect articulation of something I think about all the time. It is so much easier if you were in it while it was happening.

I've been trying to write a blog post about this, and how to address the problem specifically for front end development, where it's absolutely ludicrous. It's a very serious problem, especially when you think about security.

You have all these people clamoring to get cloud certifications so they can work in IT but its so complex. A certification isn't enough. There just aren't enough people with enough knowledge and practical experience to fill all the needs that companies have.
Doesn't it make it more interesting, or at least interesting from a different perspective.

Vast cities are interesting because it's challenging to provide enough charging capacity for a "small" area, but also because there are a myriad of transportation option that could effectively complement cars.

Countries like Norway is interesting because the cars are need because low population density makes other options to expensive and because now the cars need a much longer range. It's also interesting because, regardless of peoples opinion about the size of Norway, it is a country. Imagine the changes in government policies that are because possible when gas powered cars are no longer a thing to consider. Norway also taxes fuel, that money will be missing from the government budget in the future. It's going to be harder to explain that you're taxing electricity in a country that gets a large amount of it's power from hydro and windmills. Or how about the fact that Norway is a huge oil producer... is it morally right to ban gas powered cars at home, but sell oil abroad?

It's hugely interesting precisely because Norway is an entire country.

You’re right about profit. Every company wants profit.

Wall Street doesn’t care that much about profit. They care about growth.

Any action that will raise the stock price, even at the cost of customers or profit, is a win in their book.

After all, they’ll sell just before the party is over and make out like robber barons.
The reviewing isn't problem it's mostly because you have to become that asshole that everyone hates - developers who produce bad code also are the worst at taking feedback...
Perhaps it’s useful for very junior folks?
Sure. I'm just pointing out that different cultures have very different expectations / priorities. :)
Why did you say you didn't play an instrument when you did?
I live in Austin and lived in San Antonio and the same complaints about the DA and underreported crime are rampant, especially if you believe the subreddit or my uncle who lives 6hrs away in small town and hasn’t visited in 4 years. How true is that really?
The taxes also vary widely depending on your circumstances. Rich people complain loudly for obvious reasons but everyone I know who’s done that found the difference to be far less significant, or even negative since they needed to pay more for private alternatives to state services. There is a difference but it’s not what popular mythology would have you believe.
Then you shouldn't be surprised that it's not popular.
Where do you see convenient charging stations? Tesla shows 4 superchargers in all of Manhattan and 3 in Brooklyn, not including 3rd party stations that can take 2 hours to charge the car. What is the population of Manhattan and Brooklyn?
> It's a bit sad to see such a well paid demographic (software engineers) completely disinterested in making any cost/speed/freedoms tradeoffs here.

This job is might be well-paid in the USA, but in many countries this is not the case; in consideration of the recent layoffs, I would even make a bet that the payment for software developers in the USA is about to change for worse.

Otherwise, I completely agree with your appeal.
This reminds me of when I was a kid, and learning to write some C to "create games". At that time, things like functions were some vague and "magical" mechanisms that I had to adhere to because that is how things are. I didn't even think more about them, taking them as "holy"; except only the one weird thing that were varargs functions, which seemed to do something strange and confusing, putting a disturbing crack into that perfect picture, that I had trouble wrapping my head around. It was only when this kid started learning assembly, by virtue of a book with an amazingly baiting title "How to write computer viruses", that things fell into place, and suddenly understanding the stack made everything clear and straightforward (if no less amazing, through appreciating the brilliant genius of the procedure call protocols!).

And indeed, the first time opening a POP3 session to an email provider through telnet was also an amazing feeling; maybe even more visceral thanks to its "live coding"/immediate feedback aspect; but personally just a small bit less foundational. So, anyway, through this whole story, what I really wanted to say is - thank you for your service and approaching your teacher's post in a great way!
"Death spiral", you say.

Norway is an outlier in many areas related to cars, but "end oil" conclusion is a bit premature.

* The ICE cars themselves are disproportionately taxed (compared to the rest of the world) while EVs enjoy a number of subsidies. Denmark presents an interesting case of what happens when that taxed advantage is removed (https://electrek.co/2017/04/19/denmark-electric-vehicle-ince.... TL;DR nobody buys EVs unless an enormous tax advantage is there). So that "death spiral" relies heavily on disproportionate taxation.

* -9% Y/Y in petrol consumption? Okey, that's fair. But there is 29.4% drop in new vehicles year-to-year as well (from here: https://ofv.no/bilsalget/bilsalget-i-september-2023). That does not necessarily translate to an overall lower consumption (because of the existing ICE vehicles), but the overall demand drop (new EVs are down 20.9% y/y). So, how much of the overall decrease in petrol consumption is due to a lower demand for newer ICEs ?

* -9% Y/Y petrol compsumption? Okey, that is still fair. But... https://www.ssb.no/statbank/table/09654/tableViewLayout1/ tells us that the petrol price increased 21.40 -> 22.90. That's +7%. It WOULD be strange, if the change in petrol price did not at all alter the consumers' behaviour, would it not ? Granted, 7 != 9, but surely a higher price is a contributing factor?

* The inflation Y/Y is 3.3% (from https://www.ssb.no/priser-og-prisindekser/konsumpriser/stati...) and the central bank's interest rate went from 2.25% to 4.25%. Could it possibly have affected the people's ability to spend on petrol? On average people with mortgage are at around 3.5x their gross yearly income (from here https://www.finanstilsynet.no/publikasjoner-og-analyser/boli...). Surely +2% on that mortage is actually noticeable.

All of this is to say that "cratering fuel sales" are a function of many variables, not necessarily translatable to any other country.
If you can't see the obvious problems with that arrangement, re-read what you said and think about the implications until you do.

It's a satellite spy office operating as police officers abroad while conspicuously denying their role. They're barely hiding it but you bought an obvious cover story without a second thought.

"They're not real police, they're not even affiliated with the government, but they'll helpfully do things like help expats put themselves on the CCP radar by performing essential services like...verifying their identities and renewing drivers' licenses."

That's what the fucking consulate is for.

This arrangement is like me offering to "help" you by living in your backyard and peeking in your windows randomly to make sure you're still alive.
Don't know if this is the right topic to be asking this but here it goes anyways: is there a 360º interactive version of the U2 show at the sphere?
This is just minimum for those don't need to know details.

Even general knowledge has depth. Even if you are generalist, or specialist in different area you should deepen your knowledge at every area gradually.
There are people who suck at their jobs in every industry. My wider point is that the skills required for a good web developer is vastly different than, say, a compiler dev. The latter is not a “webdev who is a better developer”, they need much more business-knowledge, understanding what the client meant, predicting future requirements, etc.

This is an entirely new business domain, it’s not really trying to be the same.

When you don't have a middle button, mouse chording (left+right at the same time) is usually configured to simulate the middle button (for instance, the Emulate3Buttons option in the classic X server configuration). Once you get used to it, it's nearly as convenient as clicking a physical middle mouse button.
The GP was responding to a point about the closure of gas stations accelerating the decline of ICE vehicles. If all the stations near where you normally travel close, then you are forced to make a special trip to fill up.
How exactly did this hit the front page? It doesn't feel like it has much to do with technology in any way. It seems like a straightforward political blog post about foreign conflicts.
Familiarity is a huge factor in decision-making.

Apple, a multi-billion dollar company, made the Apple Watch to track your health. Something was missing for half of the population: cycle tracking. No decision maker was familiar enough with women's health to understand the importance of aligning cycle information with other health information.
Perhaps not applicable to NYC, but isnt it kind of troubling that people who cant afford a luxury vehicle (55-100k) could be put in a position where they have to spend more money (gas) to go fill up out of their way, taxed for being poor, or shut up and take public transit (if it even exists where they live)?

Surely no one driving an EV ever got to their position to buy one driving an ICE.

Edit: happy this comment inspired lots of spirited discussion. Would like to stress the "Perhaps not in NYC" part and if this trend spreads to say Oklahoma.
> they know they’ll never control the state again anyway.

California is the state of Schwarzenegger, Regan, and proposition 8. Like every other state, it's an archipelago of blue cities in a sea of red. Democrats are in power today; do not mistake that for forever. I don't think Republican party's current strategy of badmouthing California at every turn is going to earn them votes needed to flip the state; but their strategy in the US House of Representatives is an even more spectacular failure. Rather, the party's lack of coherent strategy seems to be the source of its manifold failures today. I do wonder what a post-Trump Republican party will look like, but it will come, and I wouldn't presume to predict its future.

The issue with video is storage. YouTube gets 100s of hours of new video data every hour. How do you store that?

AFAIK Literally they’re the only ones who deal with that kind of heavy data ingestion.
Absolutely agree. One thing that has only recently occurred to me is also this stuff showing up by default in new browser windows/tabs. I’ve used about:blank as my default page for probably 25 years or more, and that is probably my first configuration change on any new profile, so I don’t normally think about it, but the normies who don’t configure anything are exposed to this crap every day on their work computers. And of course the “top story” is always political clickbait for engagement and eyeballs. This cannot possibly be good or healthy.
They’ve made such a bad name for themselves even formerly sympathetic countries like Jordan and Egypt as well as the rest of the ME don’t want to take in refugees because of the baggage (a couple of generations of ‘guerrilla’ insurrectionist lifestyles is hard to ‘deprogram’ as Hillary is wont to say. They fear they’ll continue being militants in their new countries.

Palestinians are not the only ethnicity in the Middle East not having a proper country of their own. Some are more and some less militant about wanting a homeland with borders to call their own.
> I blame "cloud" apps like o365.

I blame Android (and to a lesser extent, iOS). In early Android, you had a filesystem resembling desktop Linux. Nowadays, apps' files are secreted away in a dir who-knows-where and other apps can't even see them, let alone read them—for good reason—but the same lack of privilege extends to the user via their file manager (if the OEM was generous enough to leave them one).

Compare this to a time when floppy disks (either kind) were ubiquitous, and while the average PC user then may have been less informed of how their machine worked than today, I assure you that they would have had a good grasp of moving files around. Routinely handling disks with your own two hands contributed to that, I feel.
I don’t know anyone that often drives somewhere specifically to get gas. As long as you occasionally drive past a gas station during your travels you just stop in for 3-5 minutes and fill the car up.

Even if there isn’t one directly on your route, we’re talking a long ways off I think that you need to travel 15 or minutes from every point of your trip to each a gas station. Like, we've reached such a low density that the entire distribution network is barely even sustainable anymore.
So, it's bad in both of the cities? I read the above comment as bringing awareness to the fact that not all "% is employed" stats is good. It might be super-privileged and entitled position of mine, but at this day and age, considering multiple-job or "barely making ends to meet" employments as a "win" is very disingenuous. I understand the general hardships (family history and etc.), just very weird when we think how we're doing "better" when it's very far from stressless life for North American standards. It is kinda hard to put it into words for some reason, just feels off.
Maybe you don’t get rich, but 7,500 tax-free dollars for a 2-minute job sound like a good deal, once you get the hang of it.

Maybe I should switch careers…

I think I'm an introvert, because I find that socializing drains energy. However, I find that spending regular time with others makes me happier overall.

I don't know if that's true for everyone, but there's certainly a correlation between social time and happiness across the population. I suppose that could mean introverts are just naturally doomed to be miserable—but to me, it seems more likely that even introverts benefit from socializing. Maybe not you, most many if not most.
Thank you, very insightful!
Yes, mobile is very important to us, so we ruled out LuaJIT anyway.

I've read that garbage collection has been improved in Luau, can we know now exactly when the last reference on a table is lost?

True of fixing bugs, too. The odds of introducing a bug when fixing a bug is between 20 and 50%. (Per one study from decades ago. If you can produce better numbers, please do.)

But the problem is, even if code is battle-tested, someone always wants it to do something more. To get it to do more means changing it. And when you've changed it, they'll want another change. And then another.

So you either don't make changes (even bug fixes!) or you do. If you do, you either refactor the code as you change it, or you don't. If you don't, the code becomes more and more brittle, that is, harder and harder to change without breaking something.

So I think you are drawing wrong conclusions from true observations. You are correct that you can break code when you change it, even by refactoring it. Keep it in a state where the probability of that is minimized - where it's clear what the code is doing, and how, and why. To do that, you need to keep refactoring.

This is so fundamentally wrong I don’t even know where to start.

By definition of function, employees and shareholders are at diametrically opposed incentives if the organization prioritizes return on capital over all other things.

If you are in an organization, where in the majority of the ownership is held by the people who have funded it, then at the starting point, it is already adversarial unless you are an equal partner in equity.

Since the vast majority of organizations are set up as such, and unless you have a controlling interest in the organization from a legal stock perspective, then you are in a position of no power to start with, and it will continue that way until you become a significant shareholder.

Unions are required to provide the collective action necessary to counter the overwhelming legal power of shareholders in the current structure.

Yeah, small data point, but everyone in my circles who tried "remote life" realized why they're not fond of it, moved back into cities. It's not for everyone, and it's definitely not for me. Giving up walkability, being surrounded basically endless amount of options, and the ability to get away if I want to is a no-brainer for me.
