It is your understanding that is bad.

It really hinges on two simple facts: in modern life, smartphones are essential, and Apple is one of only two players in that market. This gives them absurd amounts of leverage vs other parties.

I wish it would work in practice like that. Because in reality you can't just start making unapproved changes unless you really want to get fired quickly. But you can't get approval either. But you are 'responsible' for keeping it up and running, too.
Well I'm developing an open source farming robot and I just find myself constantly dreaming of spending a month in china to supercharge development of our product. I need better test equipment, I need to shop motors, I need to iterate on PCB design and test, fab, test, fab, test, fab. And the best I can do is look at a little window on my computer on to aliexpress or alibaba and hope I can find something decent, and wait a week or two or three for it to arrive.

I would be SO MUCH FASTER at developing my farming robot if I was in a manufacturing mecca like Shenzhen. That is what I wish we could have here in the US. Not a small number of high value manufacturers, but the whole damn chain. Not only would it make our development faster, it would make our products better and cheaper and it would make our lives better.
And we cooled the earth:

Good question.

From a user perspective it seems like you give people who want to look around the option to either sign up, or… sign up. That may lead to empty sign-ups.

Wasm allows for importing host functions. Those host functions could provide DOM access. With Wasm GC it is possible to pass external references (DOM nodes, promises, etc.) to and from Wasm. What this looks like in practice is that a thin JS bootstrap script instantiates the Wasm module, passing along a set of JS functions that map to the declared Wasm imports and then the program is effectively driven from Wasm at that point.
Why would someone buy this vs. just holding the Bitcoin? ETFs are interesting when 1. they bundle multiple securities together to diversify or 2. they are backed by an asset (like gold and barrels of oil) that is physically difficult for an individual to hold. Is this just for people who can't figure out how to open an account at a Bitcoin exchange?

Computing with graphene is still sci-fi territory, making a semiconductor only allows you to make transistors, not to necessarily make billions of transistors at nano-scales.

On the larger physical scale, transistors are used for stuff like mosfets and switching power supplies.

You might have noticed the new generation of Gallium Nitride (another semiconductor) USB chargers. They improve over silicon in every important dimension, I think, with a higher breakdown voltage, lower on resistance, higher electron mobility (which is what limits the speed it can cycle).

The gallium nitride chargers (when well engineered) waste less power, meaning they don't get as hot, and can be built much smaller for a given output.

I am not an engineer or a materials scientist, but I think graphene is better in thermal conductivity and electron mobility than GaN, but a semiconductor would probably have a smaller bandgap, because graphene naturally doesn't have much of one at all, meaning it'd have a smaller operating range in temperature and voltage.

If you want to use git through a web server, it's one way of doing that. (For example, if you want to use some existing http auth for your users.) You don't particularly need to do that - it's just an option; git over ssh works fine too, as does git with file: local urls (or without "remotes" at all.) Professionally, ssh auth (especially with ControlPersist) has always been the better/faster option, but that's more of a cultural thing.

(My hobby workflow is to just start writing in a directory, and then after a little bit do a "git init"... and then once I have enough to pick a name, I have a "git save-project projectname" script that goes off and does a git init --bare on a homelab server and git push --set-upstream so it's now a remote. Just gradually escalating how "seriously" I'm treating it and therefore how much plumbing I bother with.)

It’s also probably fine for about 95% of companies, and that figure is rising.
The reason you were confused is that pronouns, correctly used, can somewhat help de-obfuscate which person is the subject, which is the object, and so on.

Imagine you have a man, another man, and a woman.

"He hit her" tells you the subject and helps narrow down who was doing the hitting, and that there was one witness. "She hit him" tells you who did the hitting and narrows down who was hit, and that there was one witness.

"It hit it" (using "it" as a pronoun, Blindsight-style, as well as others) only lets you know that hitting has happened and that one person was a witness.

"They hit them" tells you that hitting has occurred. No indication if it was a group thing or not, if there was an uninvolved witness.
When doing reproducible builds with Nix, how are people dealing with build artifacts that can't be downloaded? I see that I can do a fetchurl with a specific URL and hash, but this obviously fails if the content is missing.

On Debian pinning is a little strange. You can try `apt install foo=1.2.3` and it will work until the next versions is released. Debian removes old versions from the mirrors. However they operate a snapshot archive with all the old package versions, so reproducible builds can use that and should continue to work over many years.

Does Nix have a way to ensure pinning continues to work over many years?

> Driving is safer on a per-trip basis.

You can’t make this blanket statement and I would bet on average it’s the opposite still.

- Flying in the US is on average ~750x safer per mile than driving according to 2000-2010 data (it’s likely even larger a difference in the modern era).

- I would venture to guess that most US flights are in the 1000-2000 mile range and most US car trips are easily more than the equivalent 2-3 miles.

- Most fatalities from flying occur during takeoff and landing, so longer flights are actually safer per mile. Relating this back to the thread, the risk of catastrophic failure from your choice (or non-choice) of airframe only really affects the off-ground danger and not the higher danger you face on a taxiway/runway.

- All of these numbers are based purely on fatalities but I’m guessing your definition of “safety” includes being maimed or otherwise seriously injured. You have several orders of magnitude higher chance of being seriously injured in a car crash compared to flying since accidents in aviation are much more likely to end in death.

Integration tests are for finding issues and regressions in code. Monitoring and synthetic checks are for finding issues in infrastructure. At a basic level, they could be the same tests, but their differing goals means the ultimately diverge.

E2E tests can be destructive as they usually run in a isolated sandbox. Synthetic tests shouldn't be effecting real user data.

E2E tests can be expensive or long running. An E2E test suite for a mature application may take hours (or even days) to run, which means time and money. In larger orgs, the cost of running E2E tests can represent a significant dollar amount. Synthetic tests should be quick so they can give timely feedback and be reran often.

E2E tests are often run from the same location as the code. Monitoring benefits when it sits in multiple locations, even in an external networks. That way connectivity issues can be discovered. It also avoids "it works on my machine" scenarios.

Synthetic tests tend to be "happy path" looking for basic functionality. Can a user login? Can they perform basic common actions? Can they access the app from multiple regions? E2E tests often cover multiple edge cases that step outside the happy path. They are testing for correctness which is more in depth.

Tests are always written inside a framework. Sure Devs could probably write the tests, but if devs are not familiar with the framework, don't have access to it, or are not the ones to address the failures, then I am not sure of the value. SRE/DevOps should have enough development chops to write monitoring tests.

Finally, noise. Playwright and Selenium are known for flappy tests. Developers are usually more tolerant of noise. Since they don't drop everything for each test failure, a flappy test might just resolve itself before the dev gets to it. SREs are much less tolerant of noise, as any issue may represent a real dollar loss for the company. I don't want to get a page from SR just because a selenium test failed to complete.

> Now a lot of programmers are designing and implementing the equivalent of high-rise buildings.

I get your point, but I think it's a bit of a myth. I work on mainframe applications and when you look at the actual business logic, there is a comparable amount of it in the apps that are 20, 30, 40 years old. I would even say that the modern methods of building software are to the detriment because there is a lot of incidental complexity coming from the tooling.

It seems that creation and maintenance of business logic for a given domain isn't really much helped with modern tooling, so it takes about the same time to develop. On the other hand, businesses today are demanding things to be done cheaper with more UX polish. This means that actual software capabilities (which require domain knowledge) are made less general and take more time to develop. I would say today, many applications are simpler in terms of features than 20 years ago.

And then, you can still keep a full version of the history in another repo if you really have auditing requirements that mandate keeping history forever.

The very real ambiguity of using singular-vs-plural "they" is something that can be commented on and discussed, and is a linguistic weakness of that pronoun's increasing popularity. The english language already has that ambiguity surrounding "you", but since the reader/listener is included in a plural "you" it's easier for them to discern singular/plural.

It's not quite the same as the catch in one's brain of encountering something that is unusual but information-complete; there can be truly ambiguous situations where the meaning of a sentence is fully changed depending on whether the author intends a singular or plural "they". Thus its use is a valid criticism one can have of a book, where understanding the author's meaning is kind of the point.

Of course, introducing that ambiguity intentionally, or getting people used to the use of singular-they and getting better at distinguishing singular-vs-plural through practice and context can itself be part of the author's point :)

It's still probably the best non-gendered singular pronoun we have in english.

These are...weird criticisms. You basically seem to wish you were coding within a monopoly, for a single platform controlled by a single corporation. Perhaps Swift is where you would like to be?

JavaScript does incredibly well for the constraints it operates within. The fact that Node and Deno etc even exist is pretty remarkable given the primary purpose of JS.

The fact we even have ES modules is in large part because the third party NPM worked so well. Things start out messy then they gain traction and get standardised. JS isn't a loose standard at all, it's incredibly well defined, and few of its original Netscape origins really remain.

You have a bit of a point about TypeScript. It'd definitely be nicer if this was part of the language and didn't require so much third party tooling. It seems plausible that this too might happen in a few years. Perhaps browsers will gain first class support for it.
> here’s the bad news— we are the ones who vanished, and I suspect what we really miss are the joys of discovery

Yes, we vanished, because algorithmic curation is overall a lot more effective. We may be nostalgic of the craftsmanship that came with old school curation, but it's not coming back any more than we moving out of cities to return to a agrarian life.

EXCEPT MAYBE that algorithmic curation is expensive, and advertising revenue can only cover a certain amount before turning people off. High interest rates as well as growth slowdown will cause a reckoning, in the next few years, of these costs - and I expect that in some areas we will see a return to traditional curation.
Yes, and this is going to end up targeting the app store for iPhones no matter what.

The question here is whether the DMA was meant to apply to Apple TV's, for instance. Or Apple Watches.

If Apple wins, it's not even remotely clear that the DMA will be rewritten to cover Apple TV's. It's not clear the EU cares about Apple TV's at all.
