First ... you need to define what you mean by "understanding a modern JS stack" (and then why do you have two different JS frameworks listed?)

Second, what makes you think all of what you listed would even be applicable to whatever it is you want to build? Maybe it is ... maybe it is not.

Third, how much of an "understanding" are you looking to acquire? Surface level? Able to take over the project when your contractor/employee/partner moves on? Somewhere in between?

Depending on your desire to learn (and how much you need to learn for this project) .. you could get away with as little as a couple hours of YouTube - or need 2000+ hours of videos, classroom, and hands-on time

Both ends of the spectrum are quite doable - but you need to know what you are looking for before any suggestions are going to be helpful :)

The general competency level of diagramming in most engineering teams is low enough that I think it's better to talk about what to diagram rather than how to visually lay it out. Everyone has heard of sequence diagrams (and for good reason!) but do you use data flow diagrams?

I really hate this quote. 9 women can’t make a baby in 1 month. But 9 women can produce babies 9x faster than 1 woman. Which is the effect you would hope to achieve by scaling production facilities.

Increasing the rate of unit production per facility is something you might also want to achieve, but is not analogous to adding more women.
I think the parent is right. Every country has different traffic laws anyway - but driving in a developing country is often fundamentally different.

In Vietnam the effective priority of vehicles is "biggest first". A neural net trained in that environment won't be very useful in the UK, where priority is defined by road markings and street signs.

Yeah, it does. I use sway (wayland) on FreeBSD and it works great and wasn't harder to set up than on Linux. In fact, it works better for me on FreeBSD than on Arch Linux because the sway vulkan backend works for me on FreeBSD but not on Linux. Maybe they're suggesting piping wayland out of a pot jail is harder?

Usually when making a narrow variant of font for a logotype, one would correct the stroke and redraw tittles etc., so it doesn't look like a non-uniformly scaled piece of text. This just looks like the font Peignot scaled to ~43% width.
100 miles is good for commutes but commutes aren't the only use people have for cars. Vacations are something that even if the US doesn't get to take as often as we should people still aspire to them and the further you move up the income ladder the more they happen. 100 miles isn't enough for that, so you'd have to either have a second car that's gasoline powered, a more capable long range vehicle, or rent a car for those trips.
I hit this just recently here. Discussing a simple math problem that happened to be attached to a political point ended up w/ me getting downvoted by a person who I actually agreed with, but they couldn't see past their own nose to understand what I was saying.
I don't know. I spent a couple years printing some parts at our library's maker space. The feedback loop is very, very slow.

Having a 3d printer now, I can get a half dozen iterations on something done in a day and compared to a single iteration per day from the library. So if you're designing your own parts and can't draw them perfectly first go, having the printer is huge.

Well, Apollo 13 for example was saved by human improvisation. As long as we cannot build full self repairing robots, humans will be highly beneficial for maintaining any kind of equipment.
The horror that the Conquistadores experienced was largely religious, or straight propaganda. Spain had been in a vicious ethnic war for the better part of a thousand years by the 15th C, and had what was possibly the most mass-brutalized population in Europe. Those men had almost certainly seen far, far worse as inquisitors, generals, clerics, or even just ground humps in, say, the conquest of Grenada.

The horror was in the presence of alien gods - which to a devout Catholic of the era would be seen as real . . real demons, that is. Other "horror" I put in quotes, as some codices were written for the precise purpose of propaganda.

However, don't let that blind our eyes. The Aztecs were indeed nasty bastards. But "nasty bastards" covers lots of territory in history, and we shouldn't forget that one of the bands of nasty bastards came there specifically to be nasty bastards to someone else. The entire Cortez operation was such a fustercluck, it really deserves a film, if someone could manage it without being horrifically offensive.
Where did I say anything against striking workers?

I am only pointing out that this is not black and white, and that it is hypocritical to be outraged at Tesla when they are not doing anything illegal, especially when Sweden has historically refused to legislate. But I guess there is also a part of Elon-bashing here.

I don't "misunderstand what laws are", by the way, on the contrary. That's why I don't like mod rule and the replies on this here are actually worrying.

This whole thread is rather low quality, I am afraid to say... "Tesla bad" and that's it, basically.

The post mentioned a tax credit though. In theory the poorest people would benefit the least from this. But there could still be issues as you increase your income, I agree.
It’s not clear to me that reliable autonomous driving wouldn’t instead clog up the streets with continuously roving robot taxis or parked autonomous vehicles that came from an even longer commute distance (because it’s easy to work or sleep during the robot drives).
When I lived in Germany, I learned that one interesting, cultural aspect is that they don’t drink nearly as much tapwater as in America.

This means everyone buys water in plastic containers at the grocery store, all this plastic is PET-based, and PEG is always present in small quantities in that water (because water is slightly acidic, and acids disassociate the PET molecule).
In UI design, developers perennially mistake the aesthetics of a design with how well the design functions, generally. Interfaces are a form of communication, and the most important pieces of it are things like visual hierarchy, gestalt, and implied lines to show relationships between elements. Just like any other sort of communication, lay people tend to either say all the right things in a way most people find confusing, or not say enough because the other way is too confusing and assume the problem is what's being communicated rather than how it was communicated. Developers putting an interface together ad-hoc tend to do the former, blowing off complaints as people not trying hard enough or reading the docs or whatever. Other developers trying to gussy up the mess the first developer made assuming the problem is aesthetic tend to do the latter, and dismiss complaints by saying things like 'design is subjective' entirely disregarding the possibility that they did a bad job.

An aesthetically pleasing interface is a side effect of someone fluent in that language working hard to figure out how to communicate information, action, cause and effect, etc to the end user. It's not an easy language to learn, it's important even in relatively trivial cases, and developers trying to wing it are about as good at it as designers cargo-cult assembling PHP to modify a WordPress deployment: It might get the job done in a very basic way, but nobody should convince themselves it's a real solution. Just like a developer might look at their interface and say "read the docs" or "design is subjective," that designer might see how slow their 5-deep for looped set of database queries is and say "this server is too slow" or "why can't those damned developers make WordPress faster?"
By the time you're labeling stating your opinions in public and then acting consistently with them as a "conflict of interest", you've abandoned any ability to get anything useful out of the term.

Keep up the good work.

From the technical point of view, it seems to be necessary to optimize wherever possible to get the costs down as much as possible. The old Twitter management should get sued by earlier stakeholders for not doing that earlier.

What ever happens to the platform in the future - it's just a platform and not your Aunt. I find it thrilling to see what happens technically and have big respect for the devs to undo the failures of former devs. Go go go go go guys and gals.

I’m not saying that’s not true. But the push to have them also doesn’t feel wholly organic. Robotaxis feel like one of those new technologies that we’re gonna have whether we like it or not, because enough very rich people want us to have them.

And I’m not saying we can or should try to delay the inevitable either. But the people who are pushing these timelines are basically the same people who just finished up spending tens (hundreds?) of billions of dollars making the food delivery industry worse, more expensive, and probably less profitable overall.

You've also got to have a place to do it and a modest collection of tools.

If you live in dense urban housing you probably aren't up for swapping a transmission for your very first time on the curb of a busy street or doing much multi-day work in your narrow numbered parking spot unless you can borrow a friend's garage to have a place to spread out a little bit. You aren't rolling a toolbox down from your 4th floor apartment, and there's usually a relative void of auto parts and hardware stores inside the city. There just aren't many shade tree mechanics in places where shade trees are rare.

I'm guessing that it had a lot to do with the differences in transportation and communication at the time.

Capitalism worked great for physical goods. Capitalism lifted more people out of poverty that any other system in human history.

But capitalism has failed in the era of intellectual property. Students can not afford text books or online, machine-run certification prep classes. Authors and inventors get far less money than do corporate lawyers.

You're linking to US data in a discussion about Canadian housing prices, which look nothing like that. We never had the 2008 correction, and things have gotten absolutely insane here.

Here is a chart for Canada: https://nitter.net/pic/orig/media%2FE0PIr9kXoAQvbeR.jpg unfortunately only goes up to 2020. Things got even crazier in 2021/2022 (though have leveled off this fall, but just a bit)

Now tell me again how disconnected my thinking is. In Canada it actually is a disaster. We have people unable to make their rent (because naturally landlords are passing on inflated housing prices to tenants).
I wonder if note taking apps qualify for Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I certainly used to have it where I tried every note taking app imaginable, and created a few of my own. In the end, I found that the best way to focus on actually taking notes is to rely on pen-and-paper or simple text files.
I'm not sure the fact that somebody can afford to pay it is a good argument. Do we really want more landlords/more concentration of wealth and power in fewer hands?

I never care much for chatgpt answers. I don't know why people post them on here.

In the first sentence, "another" is wrong because you don't need two variables, you just need one. Final paragraph's wrong for the same reason.

The example given is poor given that I can write [i8; 3] or int[3] in Rust or C and those very much do not have "dependent types" in the popular sense (Rust's const generics excepted). To be fair, those examples are technically dependent types, but it would be better to give an example that's impossible in those languages, such as "array with length at most 3" or "even integer".

Finally, to nitpick, "a bit like" is unneeded hedging.

Stack Overflow did a much better job: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9338709/what-is-dependen.... Wikipedia's article is pretty bad and maybe I'll get around to fixing it at some point.

> It is not cost effective to buy a 3d printer [...] just commission someone to do it

If you are lucky enough to have a neighbour to do the commissioning, maybe, but otherwise shipping has gotten so expensive (at least in these parts), and 3D printers so cheap, that a getting few design iterations in your hands will practically buy you the printer.

>evidence shows the existence of a detectable level of anti-PEG antibodies in approximately 72% of the population, never treated with PEGylated drugs, based on plasma samples from 1990 to 1999. Due to its ubiquity in a multitude of products and the large percentage of the population with antibodies to PEG, hypersensitive reactions to PEG are an increasing concern.[39][40] Allergy to PEG is usually discovered after a person has been diagnosed with an allergy to an increasing number of seemingly unrelated products, including processed foods, cosmetics, drugs, and other substances that contain PEG or were manufactured with PEG

Because people need to eat. If you make their jobs disappear, they need to find news jobs, and that's not necessarily an easy transition. In the short term, and people's lives are short, it can be painful. That, at least, is the understandable motivation.

> Any tools goal is to reduce work.

I'm not sure that's entirely true. Yes, a dishwasher reduces the work you have to do washing dishes. That is true. But is also creates an entire economic ecosystem to support the existence of that dishwasher. You have the entire supply chain, the manufacturer, the repairmen, etc, etc, etc; the dependencies are vast. Technology is always thoroughly embedded in a living culture. It is a product of that culture and an instrument of that culture. It is just a dead and empty husk without a culture to breathe life into it and make it what it is, like a severed finger. A 21st century smartphone beamed to 5th century Arabia would be worthless.

That's also why all sorts of initiatives in places like Africa have often been boneheaded. Someone from an NGO decides that farmers in Africa need tractors, or a water pump, or whatever. So they bring these things to a remote rural village somewhere, thinking that with this tractor, they'll increase agriculture yields and free up children from having to work the fields so they can go to school, and with this water pump, they'll relieve these people of drought. They show the villagers how to drive the tractor, how to turn the water pump on, and so on. So they use these things for a couple months. Something breaks. Nobody knows how to repair the tractor. Nobody has the parts needed to repair the tractor. Nobody has the tools to repair the tractor. Things go back to the way they were and the tractor is left to rust behind a shed somewhere. You need an economic ecosystem (and economies are a part of culture and a reflection of culture) that supports the existence and usefulness of the tractor and that water pump.

But transitioning to that ecosystem can be uncomfortable, even painful, especially when done too rapidly.
