JavaScript Tooling for Data Pipelines
JS fullstack devs out there, what tooling are you using for creating data pipelines or for orchestrating data jobs? do you have to wander into SQL/Python land for this? or do you hack something together your self? As someone new to the JS community I have struggled to find a tool or platform for this. In Python land you have tings like Airflow and Dagster for example
>xenophobia towards china.

China is the explicitly and openly hostile to the US.
The SD was reasonably competent in counter-intelligence, they were by incompetence by the SEO so.

Agree that foreign intelligence operations were beyond bad. I want to call out Fremde Heere Ost under Gehlen in particular, one for his and his departments constant failures to analyse the Soviet, and two fornhim being choosen to lead the new German foreign intelligence service due to his only qualification: being staunchly anti-communist.
I write a lot of C. I'm somewhat prone to writing things in C that shouldn't be. There are two somewhat unusual things that make that more viable than it sounds.

One, write unit tests in the same source as the implementation. Tests that run through the interface are good too and can be in separate source files, maybe in another directory. Fine grain poke at the internals of static functions really should be written as well and those are best placed where they can call said static functions directly. Make adding tests really low friction and write lots of them.

Two, embrace code generators. I've seen it written that C++ solves problems by extending the language and C solves problems by writing more C and that sounds about right. Make adding a code generator as low friction as adding a C source file. It should take seconds to convert an existing source file into a generator that recreates said existing source file.

People love ceremony. All the source files are written in lists in cmake files. All their build dependencies are written down in the cmake files as well. All the tests are written in list of tests to run. Every code generator is introduced as an independent project with it's own documentation and careful integration into the build systems.

I love writing C because I do none of that overhead. The files to compile are whatever is on disk. The tests to run are all the tests in the source, they aren't listed somewhere else as well. Any file called *.lua.c is a lua program that writes the intended contents of *.c to stdout. *.c.h will be compiled as C and then run to write a C header on stdout.

Convention over configuration with a language that requires zero cognitive overhead to write.
No, they're not trying to buy cars that kill pedestrians, they're trying to buy cars which are bigger than other cars, which they believe won't get them killed in a wreck. So it's an arms race. The danger to pedestrians is just a side effect which isn't considered by the purchasers.
They don't serve the same purpose. A toggle switch has an immediate result, such as switching the website between light mode and dark mode. A checkbox is part of a form, and indicates a boolean choice that will only be taken into account once you submit the form.
The little 8 bit atmel attiny85 has a great fastpwm feature. It can get almost 20khz output,with 8 bit duty cycle control. This is plenty to make a multichannel chip tune soft synth. Sounds good just hooking the pwm pin directly to an earbud.
Feedback affects latency when working fast. Feedback is in the critical path because the user can't look away until they've confirmed they made their input correctly. To do otherwise risks desynchronizing their mental state from the computer's state.
One I often find funny/annoying is an icon next to items on a game menu that has a smooth movement (sometimes paired with a partial fade-out!) - this makes quickly selecting a option a few steps away so much slower and error-prone.

If you identify as a programmer, it's tempting to think that you're more of a programmer by learning more programming languages and to argue about whether HTML and CSS are programming languages.

I've been thinking about identifying as a web developer instead, learning skills from graphic design to search engine optimization -- everything that helps me make better websites. I think some people avoid that label so as not to be confused with people who merely make websites with wordpress. But why? Why are those worth less?

The irony is that if TikTok is successful in its call for users to act, then there is more evidence that it occupies a privileged position in directing a large number of people's mental energy.

The larger question of TikTok is when will the US will join China in creating national boundaries for Internet traffic?

I don't like the thought of IP packets going through a customs and immigration layer as it passes a physical boundary. On the other hand, everything else does, why not a packet? Is the current openness an utopian artifact that will go the way of "no sales tax" for online stores? Is my dislike merely an aesthetic judgement formed from the history of negative stories about the "Great Firewall of China?"
> The fact that Chinese tiktok's algorithm encourages different types of videos versus the rest of the world shows this.

Do you have more information on this?

I vaguely recall reading that Douyin's algorithm in China pushes more "positive" content than TikTok's, though that may be been due to Chinese government directives being able to slap the stupid out of the market, like how they can effectively put limits on excessive video game use by minors.

> Is aware the EU about this?

Yes, of course the EU is aware of this. Health and Food regulations apply to the products grown inside the EU. There may be partial import restrictions on GMO products and hormone-boosted meat, but other food products are generally allowed in.

This is even more true with organic products, that are subjected to stringent norms and checks in the EU, but absolutely no checks when coming from outside the EU.

So when buying organic bananas, from say, Africa, the probability of them actually not being organic is close to 1. Organic olive oil from Turkey? Well, let's say you can be happy if it is olive oil at all. Honey from China? Hmm.. Well.. Let's say that with 150'000 tons exported a year, their counterfeiting labs are better funded and equipped than the fraud-detection labs on the EU side.

So, if you want a quality product with a relative certainty you're not being defrauded (or worse, poisoned), you buy European. Anything else? You're on your own.

> which is expected to "un-label" the source of products

That is not legal. But, of course, fraud exists everywhere, unfortunately.
> Stop equivocating. Facebook is under US jurisdiction. Tiktok is not.

This is straight-up factually incorrect.

I am impressed with JBS as much as I understand the criticisms of it. That is, JBS is not a coddled "national champion" and victim of dirigisme but it really had the ambition to be the greatest meatpacker in the Solar System and Brazil's government got behind it because they knew they had the potential to succeed and they have.

There is real effect where we as humans optimize for things that are easier to measure and model. For example GDP vs quality of life.

And while I would think there is some connection between this effect and the observed effect of wasteful frontend practices, I think the more direct answer of innate human laziness and self-interest seem like a bigger factor to me.

> Most "non-technical" people use computers, especially desktops, in a professional setting. Navigating those UIs is part of their jobs and they will spent hours upon hours doing so.

Yes, but they still reason about those interfaces totally differently. This isn't a quantitative difference in competence, it's a qualitative difference in approach.

> Pretty animations may make a good first impressions but they get old and annoying very fast. It is a huge mistake in UI design to only optimize for smooth on-boarding of new users and not for long term productivity.

Animations that stick out as 'being animated' are rarely desirable. I assure you that you don't notice most of the animations you benefit from in your usage.

> The reason most end-user-facing FOSS projects (that don't have foundation-funded UI teams like Blender or Mozilla

> Blender has great UI because they are dog-fooding their own software through blender studio. Meaning because they are the users and develop UI based on their own needs, contradicting your theory.

Do you have any actual evidence for the assertion that Blender's UI designers don't actually drive the usability of the software?

> Firefox UI has gotten significantly WORSE over time and the browser is becoming irrelevant based on market share. Now that is not all the fault of the UI but it is still worth noting that the height of firefox popularity was when it had a very power-user friendly UI that all that fancy "UI experts" would hate. Maybe they should replace the "foundation-funded" UI team.

You're substituting your opinion for fact. Mozilla's design team publishes a lot of stuff. If you think it's wrong, there's lots of specifics available for you to counter.

> As for commercial software, modern UI is so bad that many "non-technical" users actively hate using computers and feel absolutely powerless when errors occur. Modern UI is actively user-hostile.

This is a common trope among developers who think their feelings about interface design carry more weight than the research that actually tests these things. It holds about as much weight as any other feelings vs facts argument.
> I realize that variable reward is a key component of fun

Actually, Roger Caillois wrote a famous book on the different forms of play [1]. He uses four forms of play to classify games, and the one you are referring to is chance (Alea in his book). Another form of play that applies more accurately to chess is competition (Agon in his book). He also emphases two other key components of fun: playing a role (Mimicry) and physical sensations like in a roller coaster (Ilinx).

> Mostly, nobody actually says frontend is less important, or less real, or that you don’t have to be as smart to do it. But it often seems to be implied.

This isn’t a “trend” it’s a feature of the industry and has been going on for at least two decades. The fact we pressed web technologies designed for content publishing into frontend user interfaces is a product of how little we care about frontend.

The heyday of the “frontend” was the late 1980s and early 1990s when Apple was serious about UIs. But even within Apple that’s dead.

It's not xenophobia it's purely about the communist party. They are wagging a cold war against the US with barely any response afraid that it will affect their economy. The concern with tiktok is not privacy it's China's control over a large part of the US population and they've more than proved it this time.
> Are you saying that as long as the EU is even slightly better than China we should celebrate it?

No. I am saying, as long as the American market isn't enough for the growth necessities these giga corporations set themselves up to, they pretty much have no choice, but to go with the European market - since it's the second largest consumer market. And since the argument is about Nvidia being silly about IP stuff, the Chinese market - the third largest and therefore next best alternative to the European market - isn't exactly known to give a fuck about IP, at all, so good luck with that.

Also:

> EU has not yet reached...

> EU is even slightly better than China...

Doesn't Rollup already use quite a bit of rust[0]? It's actually why I had to abandon it for a project, where they didn't offer binaries for our build platform and I needed to bundle, like 2 ES6 javascript libraries so I just grabbed esbuild instead.

This looks very cool, will try it out on my next project.

There have been a number of solutions popping up to address this problem, and I think the need is very real. Decomposing these LLM tasks into subtasks seems to be one of the best ways to work around the shortcomings of LLMs in production apps (hallucinations, context window limits, etc). But then you end up with complicated pipelines that are difficult to debug, improve, reason about, etc.
Might be, but there are very few places in the world where it is better.

Copy and Clone traits have different semantics. Copy is only for bitwise (and cheap) copies. Clone is for explicit, potentially expensive copies. Also what entails cloning differs from type to type. String, for example, needs to duplicate the pointed to string buffer in the heap, while Arc only increments a reference count.

It true that Astra took 7 tries to get to orbit, but they did so in record time from founding to achieving orbit.

* Astra - 5 years

* SpaceX - 7 years

* Firefly - 8 years

ABL, Relativity, Blue Origin, Stoke - never made it to orbit

Compare the cost of SLS ($4.1 billion) and Vulcan ($100-200 million) to an Astra rocket ($4 million). If you spend 100-1000x more money, is it impressive to have better performance than a $4 million rocket?
I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt here, and raise a problem with that: Meta is under US jurisdiction and Chinese owned companies are not.

Finally, consumer Windows appears to have more or less adopted this model, subsidized by a steady stream of volume and OEM license sales.

I thought BSD being free was part of the consent decree from AT&T vs Regents. The technology transfer office would never sign off on open source license, even in the early 2000s. You would have to make and end run around them to office of general council to start a new open source project, once granting agencies started requesting open source. Even if you did end run around tech transfer, you could not use a license that mentioned anything about patents (UC does not want to give away patents, but giving away copy rights was permissible)
