>has no problem being indexed by the major search engines

Naively, I never really questioned that SSR was better for SEO; what about your app do you attribute its successful indexing to?
SSR is almost always slower than SPAs. It's forcing a waterfall on first page dispaly (you can't stream HTML of something that hasn't been fetched from the database yet), and generally SPAs fail mainly at SEO. If you're not e-commerce, you probably just don't need it.

Rock-solid is a little far-- I've not been free of weirdness on M1 Max. But overall I agree-- things feel like they've been better than the vast majority of my tenure on MacOS ("X", all the way back to the original "Mac OS X Server" in 1999).

I don't update to new major releases immediately if I can help it, though.
Other people must have very different setups to warrant this kind of additional overhead and tooling.

In our repo local testing is first. You check out the code and can run the tests. The github runners do the same steps the readme encourages humans to do when running tests locally.

Also I'm not sure what duplication the author is avoiding with their DSL as Github actions can be broken into components and reused and parameterized. Of course if you don't like YAML you're never going to be happy until you've wrapped it in your own layer of tech debt.
Sound on Linux is the one thing that seems to be more confusing 25 years later. I can remember scouring Usenet/mailing lists trying to research which soundblaster card to get for the best experience. When I compare that to wrapping my head around Pipewire+Pulseaudio+Jackd+*effects I feel like I know way less about sound on Linux now. I don't do any professional audio stuff I just want to listen to music on my Linux computers and occasionally play the sound throughout the house. Whenever I start to look into doing it "the right way" it is always overwhelming.
People across different stages of their lives for all different reasons. Some are healthy twenty-somethings looking for adventure and pictures for social media. Some are moving to a new home.

Different strokes.
Actually I think battery swapping works really well on two-wheel form factors like motorcycles.

The battery for a 50 mile e-bike barely weighs a couple pounds, that is ultra portable and ultra swappable. Not sure how heavy a electric motorcycles battery would be, possibly 100 lbs? That's a lot harder. 50 lbs would be a one person job for a wide range of consumers.

Of course, the big problem with small EV transportation is that the batteries are largely being implemented in the same way. The batteries are being implemented for power tools. It's all the same cells underneath it, but each tool maker has their own special form. Factor/ plastic molding and plug interface.

We _really_ need standards around this.

Edit: a 150km range battery on a motorcycle is about 60kg currently. Of course if solid state and sulfur chemistries ever get commercialized, that could drop by 40-60% which is a lot different.
The only ways to tackle this is to remove all body protection or end the sport.

Singapore is an authoritarian city-state with full control over its borders, and also a very unique society.

Many other countries have similarly draconian drug laws, up to and including execution, but do not have the same results. So that alone certainly isn't it. Malaysia and Indonesia for instance. China ranks first in the world for number of executions related to drug trafficking. List here. [1]

They also have full control over their border because it's a tiny island city-state, and their government leans heavily authoritarian. With the illegal gum and the caning. They also have strong social cohesion and lots of government support and social programs for individuals.

What I would say is:

1. Given other countries have similar drug laws and significantly more drug use than Singapore, this is likely correlation not causation.

2. The social programs in Singapore and the strong social cohesion are likely far more responsible for lower drug use.

3. Given the choice to lower drug harm by liberalizing like Portugal or cracking down like Singapore, I would suggest that the former is far more in line with canonical Western values and maximizes individual liberty -- and should be applied even if it leads to slightly worse outcomes overall because there is never a perfect solution.

I would caution you also that there's a long history of unsuccessfully attempting to replicate the 'Singapore model.' Most famously in China after Deng Xiaoping visited in the 70s.

It seems that many of the responses here are thinking short term. I've seen computing go from machines with 1K of RAM that stored programs on audio cassettes, to cheap computers with gigabytes of ram and terabyte SSDs.

We're just starting to see how far AI can go. As a parent, I've watched my child boot up from a helpless needy bundle of potential, into a late teen. I fully believe AGI is possible with today's technology, if you gave it a body to live in, instead of a simulated world, and put it through the same process.

I fully believe we can build AGI. I believe the Nobel prize will change their criteria over time, but the selection process has always been political, and it may go either way for a generation or so.

In dealing with a person (young, old, or MYSELF), I find it much more efficient to use the 3 piles technique:

Pile 1: Definitely keeping

Pile 2: Not sure, decide later, no pressure

Pile 3: Definitely tossing

I've had a small number of elderly people go from, "STOP TOUCHING MY STUFF! I WANT IT ALL!" to getting rid of so much, I'm sitting there trying to save some of it.

This technique starts with no requirement that anything is tossed. The owner must simply touch each thing and choose a pile. Truly, no pressure and if they choose to keep every little thing, that's their choice.

The family is clearing and bringing stuff into the inbound pile for the elderly person. It works even better if there's a grandchild around to help the sorter.

The biggest thing this does, is stop the fights over every single object that go like:

Kid: Mom, do you want to keep this?

Mom: YES

Kid: BUT WHY?! It's trash!

- 10 minutes of arguing and it goes one way or another

- repeat for each and every item in someone's home

- Everyone is exhausted and angry after an hour or two

I've seen massive family drama turn into a relatively enjoyable afternoon with Grandma sharing memories with her grandchild, while 3-4 adults clear an entire garage of stuff, almost all of which wound up going to the trash with Grandma's consent.

Was it really that entertaining? Don't get me wrong, I liked the story, and maybe I might have ADHD, but I feel like it just dragged on unnecessarily just to squeeze more episodes out of what was a pretty short story:

- kid sees pepsi ad offering Harrier Jet for 6 million Pepsi points

- kid talks a wealthy business-man friend into a plan of getting 6 milion Pepsi points

- Pepsi tries to strike deal with them into giving up on the jet in exchange for $MILLION USD

- kid says no to deal and takes Pepsi to court for the jet

- Pepsi gets corporate friendly judge that sides with them and the kid and his business-man friend loose

THE END, we don't need the back story of every character and their mom, just to turn this story into 3-6 episodes.

Would you care to spell out the connection between our military and preserving the dollar as reserve currency? It's not like foreign governments decide not to pay and we threaten them with our military - in fact, we're the borrowers and we're not threatening not to pay. So I don't see the connection.

While I like the ambition, supernovae turn out to be one of the least likely extinction scenarios. Their video on this points out why: https://youtu.be/q4DF3j4saCE?t=8m45s there aren’t any stars close enough to do damage in that time frame.

I used to worry (as one does) in my 20s about quasars, but those are basically sniper rifles being fired in random directions. The probability of one scoring a critical hit is far less than a giant rock hitting us, which is probably the more pressing concern.

I’m sadly bearish on us ever getting out of our solar system. I think AIs will be able to, but flesh and blood is ill suited for the journey. And as much as I love our mechanical overlords^Wfriends, they’re ill suited for colonization via reproduction, unless you buy the theory that swarms of nanites could really become viable.
> they largely focus on the sensory experience not the gambling side

Every time I’ve sat at a slot machine, it’s not even clear if you’re winning or not, or what the rules are. It boils down to “push button, watch absurd animations and sounds.” I just find all that sensory overload irritating, so I don’t usually stay. I can see, however, that if you like that experience, it could be powerfully attractive.
I think that could be a good argument for a BFF, not necessarily for a SSR app. IMO the only times it makes sense to pre-render your app is when initial loading time and/or SEO are of utmost importance.

I’m skeptical. Yea the images might look a bit different, but this could be due to colorization making it easier to see snow vs dirt and grass. The zoom on one of the images isn’t the same, you can’t just zoom on the one area that has glacier and crop out the rest of the water, and wide angles make everything look more dramatic. In real life it could just be a few acres. I’ve taken photos in small lakes that look like massive oceans, with barely a shoreline in sight.

How would you calculate this? By total bet volume alone? A very wealthy person can safely gamble more than a less wealthy one and might reasonably be gambling without being addicted despite having been flagged by this simple algorithm.

> GitHub is owned by Microsoft, which owns Azure. Their compute will be way cheaper 99% of the time.

I hope that regulators in Europe will start to notice and respond to these monopolistic practices of IaaS players who unfairly compete on the managed services market by providing services below cost. Previously, such actions were taken against e.g. Microsoft to ensure that Windows licenses are offered on equal terms to all cloud providers (without preferences for Azure).
A very well written article, with interesting personal anecdotes. Lovecraft is certainly iconic, with a writing style that seems to belong more to the 19th than the 20th century - but which was heavily influenced by more modern scientific concepts, such as non-Euclidean geometry and the size of the known universe. One additional fact not mentioned in the article is that Lovecraft was an ardent atheist, and produced at least one searing criticism of religion in general, in particular of 'utilitarianism', i.e. the notion that even if not true, religion has societal benefits:

https://www.skeptical-science.com/essays/letter-religion-lov...

As far as the question of Lovecraft's prejudices and the 2016 decision to remove his image from the World Fantasy Award, well, one might as well cancel most if not all of the signers of the American Declaration of Independence over their support for slavery and the ethnic cleansing of Native Americans. Cancel culture and book burning is redolant of authoritarian ideology and shouldn't be tolerated in any modern society - as more and more people have come to realize, so there's some hope.

Many of the derivative works published by various authors have instead poked fun at Lovecraft's prejudices ("Lovecraft & Carter" by Johnathan Howard has an alternative timeline in which Lovecraft has children who engage in race mixing, etc.), which is a much better way to address the issue. There are a great many such derivative works spanning sci-fi and fantasy genres, which shows how influential Lovecraft has been.
Thank you. Everything worked out fine :)

> because you spend all this time telling the compiler what it already knows

But a program should be optimized not for reading by a compiler but for reading by a human. This is essential for maintainability.

The question is not how hard it is for a compiler to deduce types, but how hard it is for a human (and a human that hasn't necessary written this ode, and hasn't necessary read and remembered the whole codebase) to figure it out.

It is not a simple question in general. Too much "infrastructure" clutter can hide the logic and intent of the code too. So to get the right balance in a language or in the code is non-trivial.
I think there is a stronger and more general argument to be made that the government should not be in the business of telling people how or if they can spend their money on things they want to spend it on.

Spending significant fractions of one’s income servicing one’s chosen addictions (alcohol and tobacco and reckless spending of money principally among them) is a long and great tradition enjoyed by an huge portion of society and it seems utterly contrary to the idea of basic liberty to get involved in impeding that. Most addicts love their addictions; most of the ones that don’t eventually stop.
Farewell to the felt – Quitting the full-time Poker scene
Why I quit playing Poker full time
Personally, I find the critical is to use good wire (the type used in transformers), use a good soldering station with right kind of tip, and plan a way to connect to your wires without destroying entire setup.

I solder the wires to a short piece of FFC tape ending with a connector. The tape and the connector are attached somewhere with apiece of double sided adhesive tape. The end of the tape with the wires is suspended in air nearby. I then individually solder the wires to the test points.

I can then connect my test tools (scope / logic analyser / PSU / DMM) directly to FFC connector easily. If I need more than one tool, I would usually use one of my breakout boards with connectors that make it easy to connect multiple test tools at the same time (for example supply power AND connect the scope, or maybe inject external signal to the chip on the board).

I would like to mention I don't do it frequently. This usually only happens when I am having fun with an existing device. My own devices usually have built in enough test points / test connectors to not require this kind of shenanigans. I would usually plan for one or more surface mount connectors that I will only solder if I need it for some reason.

There's tradeoffs with anything. Sending HTML over the wire has benefits you're dismissing like faster response times since responses are cacheable. (The benefit can easily exceed some microseconds, especially if we're measuring time-till-the-user-can-actually-do-something.)

SPAs also have tons of benefits. Local state is awesome for instant reactivity once the page is loaded. But you also introduced an API that you now need to maintain, that 9/10 times, will only ever be used on this SPA and no where else.

It's just acronyms, pick whatever works for you. There doesn't HAVE to be one "best practice" that covers all use cases.

No, again some garbage analogy is not even wrong.

This purchase has remote control software that obeys the company, and not me, the owner.
