It depends a bit on what exactly "translating" means but you could easily be a derivative work.

Honestly in that situation I wouldn't even look at the code. You might use in to test equivalent behavior after you have your own implementation, but only in a gross sense.
I also started using Plasmic exactly 3 months ago and accomplished now one client project with all the backend/auth/frontend integrations entirely using plasmic. I agree with you that this is a great tool, that is far beyond other known builders and low-code solutions.

I'm curious about your approach to integrating APIs with Plasmic. Did you utilize Plasmic's backend integrations, or did you prefer a client-side fetcher?

In my case, I found that using backend integrations through Plasmic's servers resulted in noticeable latency issues, with response times varying between 1 to 3 seconds, which was quite slower compared to direct API calls that took no more than 200ms. Have you encountered similar challenges?

On another note, while the client-side Fetcher was a potential alternative, it fell short in several areas for my needs. Specifically, it lacked options for customizing SWR fetch options, built-in mutation support, and accessible state management. To address some of these issues, I've made a contribution through a pull request: https://github.com/plasmicapp/plasmic/pull/102. I thought it might be of interest to you. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and any insights you might have based on your experience.
The vacancy rate in NYC is really low right now. Those units aren't "left empty", they're quickly re-rented back out. It's just that the new tenants on average have fewer people living per unit than the old tenants.

I think this is because photos from Earth are somewhat 'uniform', they're always the same angle, and because they're so far away, we basically always see only the day side from Earth, which makes them look a bit 'fake'.

Meanwhile, the photos from the probes that actually went there are from more unusual angles and you can see some more amount of the night side.

Similar to how images from something like the Himawari satellite (from geostationary orbit) quickly become a lot less visually interesting than photos from the ISS.

So it is your claim that Blacks still lie about their race on the census, in significant numbers, because they are afraid of... what, exactly? Except in rare cases, race is obvious on sight, so I don't see what they would gain by giving a different answer on the census.

Of course you presumably have a good source backing up your claim that Blacks are afraid to identify their race on the census, and trustworthy alternate statistics counting the racial makeup of the US?
My understanding is that people expect their projects being sent to Jetbrains or whatever servers for analysis and that's not allowed in many environments. I've heard of some workplaces where it's outright forbidden to update idea to this version until further notice.
Eh, I've lived here since 98, the biggest thing I've seen is the rise in shoplifting, that's definitely a dynamic that's different than it was in previous years, and that is no doubt driven by the ability to sell these goods easily on facebook and other places (it wasn't worth your time to shoplift hairbrushes because where would you sell them and for how much, but there's a guy who steals hairbrushes from my local DR every day that there isn't a cop car parked outside).

But in terms of actual violent crime, its going back down and is nowhere near what it was like even back in 2000 in the same neighborhood I live in now. In terms of budget, the NYPDs spending dropped in 2021 by $500m, and in 2022 was only down $100m from 2020, so it's bouncing back. There's only ~1500 officers fewer than target, which means there's still 33500 police officers. The NYPD's budget is still over $5b, which is more than the entire military budget of Peru, New Zealand, Romania, and Finland (plus a bunch of other countries).

There's always a strong tension between the two points:

1) School closures were good, kids weren't harmed at all and it saved lives!

2) Schools provide the basis for future success and are critical to our social and economic well-being!

My stance is that, as mediocre as many public schools are, they provide a better environment for learning than home life for the majority of children. We should be moving toward making public schools great. (I'd be the first to agree that a broken system makes that a very difficult task.)

Over a 100 years the 4.5mm is 450mm pounds. Less than half a billion.

What do you expect the liability to the state would be for all the wills getting wiped out, or modified, etc. Another way to think about it is, what would a private company charge the UK government to insure all liability costs of digitizing the wills? Especially since there are likely many individuals who are highly motivated to modify the wills database (many would benefit simply from destroying it).

I don't know the answer to that question, and even though I suspect it will be far greater than 4.5mm, the point is that's the correct way to look at this cost, set against all the liabilities and risks digitization opens you up to. And most never seem to consider the costs and risks of moving to a new system when pointing out the cost of the existing system as a reason to move.
Most incidents start with the systems failing and the pilots being the fallback. It’s not clear how, 1. A remote system would not be immune to this, and 2. How a remote system would be good if the systems are failing and probably producing bad readings

"Christianity is true" and "Islam is true" are mutually-contradictory positions. "C++ is fit as a general-purpose programming language" does not contradict "X other language is fit as a general-purpose programming language". So your logic in your first non-quote paragraph doesn't work.

[Edit: To respond to the actual point: For every claim that X is fit as a tool to do Y, the evidence that millions of people use X to do Y is in fact proof of the claim. If the claim had been "C++ is the best language for general purpose programming", then your argument would have merit. But that wasn't the claim.]
> the will outperform everyone

I'll try to make the same point land a bit harder:

Robots will not compete any time 'somewhat soon' in many/most physical tasks, because their energy storage capability, motor efficiency, strength to weight ratio, and many other mechanical and sensing properties are not good at all compared with humans and other animals, and can't be fixed by software. Everyday intuition underestimates how large this gap is.

Brains are only part of the requirement for competence in the real world.
I'm mostly agreeing with you.

Steam definitely has a monopoly of PC gaming, but it's also true that having a single place with all your games and friends is far more convenient. I'm not sure where the right balance is. Are we paying more due to the lack of competition to Valve's 30%? Would more competition be worth the fragmentation? Look at streaming services and the mess that has become. I'm not sure what the answer is.
Most actual meaningful jobs can't be remote. There are no remote firefighters or plumbers and very few remote doctors or nurses.

My experience with remote jobs is they leave you less present both at work and at home. I float through life in haze, completely detached from reality. Separate spaces and a commute creates a natural transition period so that I can be present at both.

We wanted Plasmic to be the source of truth for certain things (the css, the composition, etc), so that it is possible to re-generate code from Plasmic and continue iterating on your designs (design-to-code is never a one-time thing!). We've designed the generated code to be very instrumentable; you can pass in prop overrides for any part of the component, swap out parts of the component with other content, etc., so you can get the component to do what you need, without having to edit the component code itself.

I believe the idea is that by adding security measures in the graphical server, you can limit it better. So yes, if there's no other protections then the graphical server is the least of your problems, but if you run a program in a container then the graphical server becomes the weakest link so we'd like to protect it. (I don't know why other protections - https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firejail#Firejail_with_Xorg or XACE - weren't good enough, but there is an argument for something there)
The situations are so uncomparable, the kind of claims, aims, methods and history so different, that I'll just ask you to examine those facts a bit further.

Im not American, perhaps you guessed. What (some/many) Americans dont get is that its not about 20th century geopolitics. It's about a consistent pattern playing out for the past 500 years, more depending on how you count. You can check out Timothy Snyder's lecture for a taste of that history.

It's about Russia never backing off ever. That's the only role the US plays: providing a credible threat greater than Russia can muster. This Russia hasn't changed in that way of dealing, because it is core to its conception (collaborators with the Golden Horde). I never will. Cuba was far less of a thing for them then it was for the US. They didn't back off at all, that is a misunderstanding of their goals and means.

I agree that the midsized, and even small cities are important. I think there are some real problems associated with the centralization of populations in large cities. We have tons of dying cities in former manufacturing regions that could be utilized instead of having population/density fights in the more popular locations. The main problem is the vicious cycle that causes the loss of job and the loss of amenities, which decreases the attraction. Instead we get into an infinite desire/density loop because that's where the jobs are. Having more options for cities to move to would provide better population distribution and alleviate many density or flux related issues.
GraphWords: Visual dictionary and thesaurus
Anything up to 30ish miles is comfortable to me. But I’ll only do that on trails or particularly scenic roads (both of which I have available on foot from my apartment). And I limit myself to one or two outings like that per quarter. Other than that it’s mostly 3-10 miles per run depending on what I feel like doing.

I’ve been running for 15ish years and probably take a full week off a year if I’m feeling anything uncomfortable that affects my stride. Other than that I try to average 20-40 miles a week depending on the time of year and how I’m feeling overall.

The things I think I do differently from most runners are:

1. My #1 goal is to be running in 30 years. So I’ll sacrifice distance and speed today for that goal.

2. I care about speed very little. I enjoy being outside and moving so probably 1% of my mileage is at a high intensity.

I'm not saying it is. I'm using the exclusivity of religious belief just as a short-cut to show that it is possible for large groups of people to hold false beliefs without getting into the weeds of which of those beliefs are actually false. The point is not that C++ is analogous to a religion, just that "adoption by millions" is not a valid argument for its merits.

I moved out of New York City in 2020. The overriding reason was not this, it was just a fluke that I got a very compelling out of state job offer in 2019, and they requested I move in 2020.

However, I am making about about $150-$160k as an SWE, and it goes a lot further here (although having to spend $700-$800 a month for a car, which I did not have to do in NYC, bites into that a little). I have a new, big, apartment with a front door to a tree-lined street in a nice walkable neighborhood near my workplace for less than $2000 a month. In New York I would have an older, smaller apartment on a higher floor in not as nice of a neighborhood for more a month.

I know people say to move to the Bay area because that's where the action is for tech jobs and where you make connections etc., but I don't see why not take a step on a way for a decent paying job in a cheap city where you can accumulate savings while your skillset is increasing.

The juniors/associates I work with making <$100k a year say they can barely afford their expenses now here. I don't know what they'd be doing in the Bay Area or New York. They have roommates too.

I saved up a ton of money down here, and gained experience as well. If I move back to New York (or to the Bay Area), I do so on surer footing - I have a lot of money saved up for a rainy day now.

It also makes for a situation where those with lower income - even associate/junior SWEs at Fortune 100 companies - can't afford to live in cities like NYC, San Francisco etc.
> Have you ever actually lived in any metropolitan area outside New York?

Yes, and I've spent a lot of time in many cities.

> A lot of cities (both in the US and around the world) have better environments for each of the things you stated there, but New York is somewhat unique in that it is good for all of them.

It's just not true. For example, name another city in the US that has arts anything like NY: fine arts, jazz, classical, theater, etc. etc. And if you think that other city has them like NY, you either don't understand the art or don't understand what NY has. (OK, maybe London.) Pull up the theater listings in NY and in the city you are thinking of.

Again, other cities can be wonderful; not everyone cares about those things or does at that level; not everyone has time for them (one reason many people with families move to suburbs); but there's no comparison.

> It is easy to see that C++ is fit as a general-purpose programming language–adoption by millions is a testament to that.

I really wish the std would drop this pretense and focus on C++'s strong point: Continue being the fastest systems language possible.

Everywhere in the std lib you can see compromises that require rewriting substantial portions for any real time application.

Things like: shared_ptr eagerly using atomics whenever possible; std::string allocating; the lack of built-in faster std::allocator replacements like bump allocators, memory pools, etc; no lockless and wait free concurrency primitives; no architecture-aware thread pools or even architecture descriptions; no IPC primitives; etc.

Considering how many C++ developers are working on things like games, high performance server applications, databases, and operating systems, it's just bizarre how inappropriate the standard headers are for these tasks.

Even something trivial like casting bytes off the wire to a packed struct is an exercise in frustration due to aliasing rules that should have been encoded in the type system and invisible to the user.
