> It's making an assumption based on a predetermined belief that lower intelligence votes for things others more "righteous" disagree with.

In this case, it's not an assumption. The majority of Brexit voters were less intelligent. That's just how it is. It doesn't necessarily mean they were wrong however.

> Many highly intelligent people voted for Brexit, but they are deemed "lower intelligence" by those who voted against it.

One does not necessarily follow the other. It really feels like you're trying to defend a Brexit vote more than anything else here.

And I get it, everything bad about it that was claimed came to fruition while none of the good happened. And people were explicitly told that what the problems would be and that the other side was at best wishful thinking. People can point to receipts and say "Look, we literally told you so". But, the voters listened to people they listened to their entire lives. They trusted those people. And they disregarded people they saw as contrarian. Because that's where politics was going at the time, high polarization where conformity to one's "side" being the most important factor. Often at the expense of actual policy.

It's now so bad that if one side has a completely reasonable, middle of the road, easy to implement take, the other side has to reject simply because it came from "the wrong side". But things like Brexit were indicators of this polarization taking hold.
Read my comment again. I wasn't making any claims outside of the fact that it would be expensive and unnecessary to implement anti-gps blocking features unless you expect to experience GPS blocking.

> Most other GUI libraries is in a much worse state than front end web dev.

I'm certainly not going to suggest you're wrong. But I would like a sincere comparison between JavaFX (because I sorta know it) and "the web".

Maybe its unfair, since the Web is "just the DOM", an empty vessel many of the other techs are built upon, which is why there's so many options.

I'm not a front end person, by any means, and have been striving to make things work with FX. I mostly "get" FX, how it does things with its containers and layouts and properties and bindings and events and UI thread. It has CSS, I mostly don't use it (better living through gray!).

The web, honestly, intimidates me. It intimidates me with its vast variety, its complex build processes, the apparently galaxy of dependencies and tools and what not. Cross browser stuff terrifies me. And maybe that's the wrong reality, but that's the impression I get.

I'm managing to Forest Gump my way through FX, but I have a Java background.
Thanks, that's great to hear :)

Will try not to toot my own horn, but I think the explicit goal of making it a toy vs making a commercialised product with ads/aggressive paywalling meant I could make something simple that gives nonzero value without any baggage
That's an interesting point, are there any resources to learn about this? I have a CS background, in that we generally only cover 1st-year physics and very little theoretical math beyond linear algebra, etc.
No hard feelings. It tells more about the community than you. Cheers.
This is not even funny. This article came right when I ended up with a US made Brother mulți-function inkjet printer in Europe, and can apparently only use if buying European Brother cartridges (different than the US ones), swapping the heads, and resetting the chips with a chip reset tool bought and shipped from US, in the hope that the assembly would work.
I should rephrase, I decided to not have a choice. I made a decision when I started to see my business through and take it as far as I could. When things are difficult it’s way, way harder to deal when you fantasize about escaping. I’m really quite content with the situation but I see the price I’ve paid.

Item 6 seems to contradict the first 5.

6: Every project longer than a day must have an engineering plan, no exceptions. There is nothing more guaranteed to blow up a project than realizing weeks (or months in) that a requirement was missed.

Apart from that it is a good start for a manifesto - just needs a meme handle (≈agile).

I can't speak for the whole org, but my small corner of VMware got cut far more than was reasonable. We already ran very lean, and with the losses there will be no new features on our product for a very long time, if ever. Best we can hope for is maintenance unless they're planning to staff back up down the line (they're not).

That's technically true, but extrememly rare to cause real problems (short of bad intent). It reminds me of people/teams enforcing braces on single-line ifs, because one might add another line someday, forget to add braces, and break the logic. Even when it happens, there should still be tests that catch this.
Go isn't very declarative. The thing that always gets me with go is how much stuff has to be (or is culturally) imperative code. This isn't article isn't wrong, simple things arent easy and easy things aren't simple. But saying one is better than the other is not right either. Turring machines are simple but we don't use them for anything serious cause it's WAAAAY to difficult to make anything worthwhile.

It's been a while but golang keeps making simple is better decisions that hurt the language and ecosystem.

Sure, saying just download a dep from git is simple, but it doesn't work. It makes the whole ecosystem fragile.

Sure putting all your deps in a global folder is simple but it means you have to have a tool to manage envs and swap them out anyway to be able to write more than one app.

Simple != Easy but neither of them equal good.
I didn't believe all the hate until I watched someone unfamiliar with Linux set up an empty Electron project in WSL.

After we hit the third "Linux"-bug that turned out to only happen in WSL, I suggested to maybe just install Linux in a normal VM. Clunky, yes. But at least it has a clear boundary. Unless you move something across it, everything will just work.

I felt the article pretty thoroughly explained why the author feels that hives are not currently respected as an extended phenotype. Many studies of bee behavior are run on bees in artificial hives. They are treating artificial hives as interchangeable with their natural equivalents and assuming that the behavior observed reflects normal bee behavior. This can lead to many erroneous conclusions, the same way you might get misleading studies on beaver behavior if you studied a bunch of beavers living in a rabbit hutch. To quote from the article:

> Honeybee (Apis mellifera) colonies don’t hibernate. In the wild they overwinter in tree cavities that keep at least some of their numbers above 18°C in a wide range of climates, including -40°C winters. But popular understanding of their overwintering behaviour is dominated by observation of their behaviour in thin (19mm) wooden hives. These man-made hives have very different thermal properties compared with their natural habitat of thick-walled (150mm) tree hollows.
Nothing about my submissions is automated. I was just googling about RSS readers on Windows and found a JetBrains product I had never heard about. Too bad it's abandonware.
that's funny, I definitely react to skio hiring posts as well. "recharge migrations" lol like anyone knows what the hell that is. I get that i'm not their target market but it's a hiring post!

But, maybe there's no such thing as bad press.

(recharge migrations are a shopify subscription solution that's apparently outdated and complicated. skio makes it super easy, and better.)
I’m so pleased to see the resurgence rails is having right now. It’s such a great framework and is an absolute joy to work with.
I use loops and branching, but way up in the Grasshopper programming layer, not gcode. My work is things like https://www.instagram.com/p/CZrtHC_px1D/ , where the modulations happen at so many layers that it's much easier to generate gcode from a higher level programming language.

Plus it's nice to be able to visualize a piece in CAD before generating the gcode.
Apps and installers on macOS are also signed but there’s always a way to go around it. Simplest method is for the malware author to resign it, since effectively no one will verify the signature is from the correct source. But even then you can always convince people to disable System Integrity Protection to install crap. Despite it being a convoluted process, never underestimate what someone who is not tech savvy but is desperate can do. They will install anything and jump through any hoop the malware author walks them through with nice screenshots.

I doubt there’s no way to trick people the same way on Windows. Perhaps I’m wrong, and if I am I’d welcome learning how that system works.
I completely agree. Recently I listened to a podcast where Brad Frost talked about web components being useful for design systems, as you can make a button in a web component and have that defined no matter what JS framework the dev team (or teams) want to use company-wide.

One issue I see though and I almost feel dumb for saying it, I don't like how web component code looks. Using innerHTML feels really weird when your team is so used to using JSX for react components for example. I don't think this would stop me from researching web components more but does anyone feel similarly or have a solution or obvious answer for me in this area?
No, IMO problems are much too hard for the current generation of theorem provers.
Meh, this guy was targeted and opened an attachment or was tricked into doing something, that's how the malware originally got on his home computer, which then targeted the Plex server. You don't just randomly exploit someone's Plex server when it's behind their firewall.
Yep, call me a NIMBY but I don't want this kind of business operating in my residential street. There are plenty of business zones where this economic progress can take place.

Also, illegally double-parking isn't fair game. If the police enforce those laws, there are economic solutions to that too, like building more parking. But often times the zoning will mandate spots too because they know a huge business without that is gonna rely on illegal parking.
I have literally walked in to the one in Redwood City and ordered from someone sitting at a folding desk.
Yes, I'm saying, that "Master's Pizza" problem is straightforwardly avoided: order from restaurants you know exist. That's good for the restaurants, too! Wherever you are, there's a local restaurant scene, and operators are hoping you'll plug into it and have a sense of what's around; that's how they get business.

The other commenter is saying that there are "-To-Go" versions of some restaurants in your local scene, and those "-To-Go's" are served out of ghost kitchens instead of the restaurant itself. I know that does happen, but it hasn't been my experience that there's a major quality difference between the two; unsurprisingly, since good restaurants are reluctant to sabotage their own reputations just to expand their incredibly low-margin delivery options.

I don't doubt there are restaurants that do use ghost kitchens badly; I'd say: probably stop patronizing them altogether.
It's obviously right between Southern Sotho and Shqip!

Is there no ordinance requiring appropriate parking levels for businesses like this? In my Midwestern city, a pick-up-only restaurant has to have 1 parking space for every 400 square feet in addition to bike spaces.

It looks like Cloud Kitchens has ~20 parking spaces for 20,000+ sqft of kitchen? And half of those appear to be for employees with no spaces for bikes/scooters. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Charter+Oak+Food+Pick-Up+-...

This sounds like a total planning failure. That's a huge facility that never should have been allowed to open there without the proper infrastructure in place. They need like 2 or 3 times that many spaces, and there's not really a good way to create them after the fact. I think food delivery in general is pretty wasteful, but making fewer spaces doesn't make fewer cars/bikes required. If you want a huge ghost kitchen, you have to be prepared to handle a huge amount of traffic.
My advice:

- Take some time off

- Talk to your family and ask them to help you.

- Take care of your health. Sleep, have quality time for your self.

- To exercise.

- Don't take all these advices very personal or serious. It depends from person to person, usually someone who cares about you is the one who can give you the best advice.

The picture of that car-snarl leading that article implies it's a lot of cars (lots of scooters and bikes in the UK too - I doubt the cost of fuel and keeping a roadworthy car in general, makes cars economical for it here, not to mention the need for a licence which you don't need on most small bikes).
Huh. It threw me for a loop to see the modern styling applied to a nearly-two-decade-old product. Good on them for keeping it compatible with the template, I suppose?

This is probably what's going to happen. Companies like Broadcom and PANW want pretty high margins on their product lines, so they're pretty mercenary in getting it done.

If I ask you to hold my phone and say “don’t blame me if it breaks” and we agree. Then you deliberately smash my phone, you caused me a damage and broke the terms of the contract. In this imaginary case, there was an implied agreement that you would hold the phone, but you didn’t. You smashed it. You aren’t protected from your liability agreement because it no longer applies.

This same thing applies here. Intellectual property has value. Google agreed to hold that value and not delete it. They stopped holding the property and smashed it. Their liability clause no longer works because they broke the contract. It doesn’t matter if money changed hands or not. Damage is damage.

I don't get delivery super often, but for SF, my estimate would be 80% car, 19% moped scooter, 1% bicycle.
there's a strange phenomenon when you try to dig deeper than current accepted textbooks and read pubmed, you end up in less certainty. Science behave like a lens, validated data (yet about to be obsolete potentially) is in focus, illogical is fuzzy, but unproven is fuzzy too.
A postal service (even a privately-run one) should not be allowed to discriminate when it comes to delivery

Postal Service shouldn't be allowed to effectively enact or modify government policy! More to the point, Labor Unions shouldn't be using a subverted power of the state to coercively unionize workers against their wishes.
I actually did a one time backup using Take Out, then what I do is:

- Cloud Sync to keep a copy of my Google Drive.
- Synology Photo on my phone to backup every new photo/video I take.

That way I benefit from Google software and storage + backup of my stuff without worrying about it.
I understand the dunk here, but what I'm saying is that a lot of this is on Bay Area municipalities. This isn't like Uber where an entire new business model created a brand new set of regulatory challenges. This is a bog standard regulatory challenge every city already has to be set up to address, because it comes up every time a new retail business gets put somewhere that wasn't already precisely zoned for it. This is seriously every liquor license kerfluffle ever; just in slightly different form.

(I had a lot of problems with what Uber did with regulatory arbitrage; in particular, for a decent amount of time, Uber managed to recreate the Chicago redlining map with their service areas. It's not that I'm disinclined to regulate; it's that it's not Kalanick's job to regulate himself.)
Extrapolating from what OPI is saying, I would guess they mean is something along the lines of being unable to check for secondary proxy indicators of care and quality prior to choosing to order food at all, such as cleanliness of restrooms, the number of critters buzzing/crawling around in the dining area, the quality and cleanliness of tableware, the taste of the water etc. the overall customer facing aspects of a normal restaurant which allow you to get a general sense of how the places you cannot see are run.

While not a completely reliable or quantifiable metric, the dining experience conveys information that is absent entirely with a ghost kitchen. Ghost kitchens are essentially the opposite of an open kitchen dining establishment. Everything about the preparation of substances you're going to put into your own body is hidden from view, and because this is inherent to the model it's not even something that can be criticized or measured. And unlike restaurants with a public facing facility, there is a much greater likelihood that a ghost kitchen that poisons its customers vanishes and reappears under a different name in the very same location. This would be extremely difficult for a regular restaurant, or even a fast food drive-thru, to pull off without strident public blowback at the place of business.

If you agree to eat food from such establishments, there's an implicit acceptance of this blindness to conditions in which the food is prepared. Given the inevitable race to the bottom economics of any food service industry I can understand why this would be a non-starter for a lot of people. Even if you trust people to do the 100% right thing structural forces favor the ones doing the 99% version of it, and then the ones doing 99% of that, ad terminum, ad (literal) nauseam.
> (B) Advocate a framework other than React that uses the same pattern as React, but improves the usability. I think the two places there is the most room for improvements are:

> 2. useEffect() in general

I'm not normally one to "shill" a web framework, and I still mainly use (and love) React, but I'm curious if you've tried Svelte, because it definitely manages animations better than React, and has a different idea of state that's more ergonomic for many use cases (though I won't go so far as to say it's definitively "better" than useEffect)

You're right, and it'll probably become outlawed by legislation (or be caught by existing protections).

Reddit and its userbase have always been on the activist spectrum (SOPA, PIPA, CEO changes, API changes, etc.) And before it, Digg was much the same. Given the fact that they'll brigade r/Place with automation tools and protests, I'm surprised it hasn't happened in the form of a broader protest.
