does your calculation include the carbon needed to lubricate the wind turbines? how about the carbon in the solar cells, and the carbon that will be needed to dispose of them when they fail?

I'd argue the mix of non-carbon energy going into your car is a lot closer to 7.4% -- just the nuclear. Wind and solar both require industrial processes, materials, and maintenance involving not insignificant amounts of oil.

also: why are you charging your EV in the middle of the day in Texas, in the summer? ERCOT asks people to conserve energy; this guy charges his car. Maybe save your grid strain for the evening?

There's also strong arguments for prohibiting the sale of human organs, chiefly that you want to avoid pressure against poor people to give up their kidneys to survive. Even for something as simple as blood donations, once money enters the equation, everything changes incentive-wise... you don't want people to lie on donation forms about how long ago their last donation was just to make money (and then end up being carried off to the ER because they gave up way too much blood).

The other debate that inevitably crops up is ethics, similar to the debate around surrogate pregnancies, we are already seeing women from piss poor countries taking up one of the most serious health challenges there is for rich Western women - women that just don't want to risk their bodies getting fucked up permanently by pregnancy.

When the "right way" is harder than the "wrong way", you are guaranteed to get things done the "wrong way".

CDNs are used, because not using CDNs is made unnecessarily hard.

Want a local version locked copy? Select one of the dozen mutually incompatible package managers. Then select one of the dozen buggy and slow mutually incompatibile build systems. Then rewrite your app for CJS or ESM depending on the library, because ESM was made purposefully incompatible.

Want to use a CDN? Copy and paste this one line in your HTML.
The data isn’t the problem. Big Techs methods of monetising it is.
There’s a wide, wide range of devs that fit in the label of “JS dev”. At the more junior or casual end, npm and cdns are shoved in your face as the way to go. It shouldn’t be surprising that it’s the natural state of things.

I’ve worked with many JS devs who also have broader experience and are more than aware of issues like these, so it just depends I guess.

The bigger issue may just be the lack of a culture that vendors their code locally and always relies on the 3rd party infrastructure (npm or cdn).

It’s somewhat similar but any Rust project I’m building, I wind up vendoring the crates I pull in locally and reviewing them. I thought it would be more annoying but it’s really not that bad in the grand scheme of things - and there should be some automated things you could set up to catch obvious issues, though I defer to someone with more knowledge to chime in here.

This may be an extra level of headache with the JS ecosystem due to the sheer layers involved.

Lol, I could not even guess that the "light mode" was the opposite of dark theme, not the term for being a "light" as opposed to "heavy". So I was so surprised to see only the description "that light mode is available now, and you can turn it on". What is light mode? Not a "mode", it is a "theme".

The ideology of the right wing is that Biden and "the left" exercise authoritarian control over social media and use coercion to force those platforms to suppress free speech and "inconvenient truths."

Agreed. Maybe some of the file coin based crypto can donate some storage or integrate some storage space on their network as a charity/tax write off scenario.

While the title might make one think, "They've caught up to 1999!", the real point of the article and video seems to be "Raspberry Pi Connect", which is neat, but somewhat orthogonal to ssh and to choosing ssh over VNC on an airplane.

Since many ISPs haven't deployed IPv6, or have done so half-assed, services like "Raspberry Pi Connect" may become more and more necessary. Some people have no choice but to be behind CG-NAT, like Starlink and T-Mobile Home 5G, so this is good for them.

While I don't see much wrong with "Raspberry Pi Connect", I'm not a fan of the intermingling between the for-profit and the not-for-profit parts of the Raspberry Pi Foundation. Let's just hope the for-profit part doesn't decide that all the money isn't enough and they want to monetize "Raspberry Pi Connect" in the future.

And remember, kids, "Raspberry Pi Connect" is not as secure as ssh, so don't set up services lazily thinking they're protected! Set up key-based ssh, anyway, and heck, have VNC listen only on localhost and port forward over ssh so that your VNC password can't be brute forced.

I've spent the last week or so developing a tool that allows you to use and compare all of the top LLM models from one place.

Linux never acted like Win9x cooperative multitasking and bsod, it was mostly just missing things outright or forced one to edit config files and use fdisk. Annoying perhaps but not rage inducing. The kind of blind rage that comes from losing your work for the third time today.

Math is not reality. Physics isn't even reality, they're just theoretical frameworks that are easy to work with and somewhat align with what we've observed. "All models are wrong, but some are useful" as they say.

If you can prove something can or can't be done in math it doesn't mean shit, but it might end up being a useful guideline. Banach-Tarski assumes an infinite pointcloud (i.e. a mathematical sphere), which as you've realized, doesn't actually exist.

What discussion would you like to see? I feel like this article doesn't really belong here to begin with.

I don't think this is a topic where people can be swayed by well articulated arguments unlike say, under post about the merits of Clojure.

I can see myself giving Clojure a shot after reading a nice comment about it. But no amount of arguing is going to convince me to approve of a tax on a food item I like. The difference in beliefs just goes too deep.
Agreed, event sourcing is a pretty good match for call flows. You could first store every call leg / conference / recording / etc. webhook Twilio sends you as an event and then derive the state of the final "call" concept from those pieces of data.

Vegas is very water efficient. Those fountains and golf courses use reclaimed water. The problem is the absolute amount of water demand is still going up. In a desert. Vegas' water utility has an intake pipe at the very bottom of Lake Mead so they will go dry last. They dump their treated wastewater into the Las Vegas Wash so that they can get credit to draw more water. They bought up nearby land to get the water rights. But actually capping system wide water usage directly or by limiting urban growth is economic and political suicide.

I have been full stack for the last decade. Vanilla JS and server-side rendering is about all I can tolerate these days. I will reach for Ajax or websockets if needed, but 90%+ of all interactions I've ever had to deal with are aptly handled with a multipart form post.

I do vendor my JS, but only for things like PDF processing, 3D graphics, and barcode scanning.

I've been through the framework gauntlet. Angular, RiotJS, React, Blazor, AspNetCore MVC, you name it. There was a time where I really needed some kind of structure to get conceptually bootstrapped. After a while, these things begin to get in the way. Why can't I have the framework exactly my way? Just give me the goddamn HttpContext and get off my lawn. I don't need a babysitter to explain to me how to interpolate my business into an html document string anymore.

I also now understand why a lot of shops insist on separation between frontend and backend. It seems to me that you have to be willing to dedicate much of your conscious existence to honing your skills if you want to be a competent full stack developer. It can't just be your 9-5 job unless you are already highly experienced and have a set of proven patterns to work with. Getting someone off the street to that level can be incredibly expensive and risky. Once you know how to do the whole thing, you could just quit and build for yourself.

I would say from personal experience in Hongkong, that during the transition from a multi-party democracy to a single party state, the gov't services (minus the police and protest-related judges/courts) still remains excellent. The day to day workings are still extremely functional and efficient.

That said, the excitment about "low taxes" in Hongkong is mostly misguided. Yes, the max is 15% of your total income, but you basically get nothing except an (admittedly world-class) international airport and metro system. Public health care? You will never use it. You wrote: "Excellent healthcare". Sure, the private hospitals where your private health care insurance pays for services are excellent. Public schools? You will never use them. Public pension (retirement)? What a laugh -- you will be poor. Even the police are very lazy unless they are already present when the crime occurs. One weird bright spot: Public housing is very decent, but again, you will never use it. So really, what are you getting for 15% tax rate? Not much. If you are upper middle class and above, and are comfortable to watch elderly people in your neighborhood collect aluminium cans or cardboard for recycle-for-cash, then you will be fine paying for these essential life services from your handsome earnings. However, you will be surrounded by many very low income people. It is not a low tax paradise. My motto: "Hongkong isn't rich, but rich people do live there."

An anecdote about gov't staff efficiency: I will never forget the day that I applied for an international driver's license. I handed over my regular, local (HK) driver's license to the staff. He said nothing, but began to frantically fill forms at his desk. After about a minute, I was confused and asked, "Is there an issue?" "Oh nothing too big. Your [Chinese] name was changed, but you never applied for an updated driver's license. I have filled all the forms for you. You only need to sign here." The craziest part: On paper (if I recall correctly), there are relatively draconian rules about updating your driver's license in X days if your name or address changes.

> Low crime rate.

To be clear, all of northeast Asia has very low crime rates: Mainland China, China, Macau, Hongkong, Taiwan, South & North Korea, and Japan. This is a complex issue that could be the subject of multiple PhDs. I doubt it has anything to do with a high quality police force.

"... how the world would be worse off if you simply didn't show up"

I've been reflecting on this recently and I think in the context of a job, it operates at both a macro and micro level, and ultimately to feel fulfilled in the long term you need to feel like you matter on both levels.

Macro contributions are the stuff upper management sees— the new products and features, the deals closed, the systems you designed and maintained, the technical directions to advocate for and staff you mentor, the conference presentations you give. These are highly visible contributions are are "easy" to recognize you for, but on the other hand they're also relatively easy to succinctly describe, for example, on a job req, which will be necessary if you do indeed stop showing up.

In contrast to this, the micro contributions are what your close colleagues see. They're who recognize your taste, your care and attention to detail, the thoughtfulness with which you lay out code, balance requirements, utilize tools, and maintain hard-to-measure things like interface boundaries and testability. It's these contributions that quietly keep technical debt under control, save time by preventing problems from ever occurring, and push systems toward ever greater reliability and observability. If you disappear tomorrow, none of this stuff will fall apart overnight; it will degrade in more subtle ways that take much longer to manifest as an actual "problems".

I think for me at least, I sometimes feel a disconnect where I have lots of acknowledgment at the macro level, but still feel burnt out and unappreciated due to gaps at the micro level. The Q12 question about having a "best friend at work" [1] I think is also really tied into all of this, since that's likely to be a person who will see you and what you have to offer much more than a busy manager hustling between meetings all week and rubber-stamping your code reviews.

How do you feel about web components as a solution in this space?
I don't really think it's that hard at all.

When I discovered Flash I was a literal child (12 years old), so it's not like I was reading license agreements regardless, but even if I were an adult, I could still enjoy the software simply because it's fun to use.

I certainly don't have many nice things to say about Adobe as a company, I hate that they moved to a subscription model, and I hate that they didn't open source Flash Player, guaranteeing an expiration date on the tech, but that really doesn't detract from how much I really enjoyed using the software.
We do care a lot about data privacy. While the data is sent to an API, we do not store anything on our servers or use our user's data in any way.

We are working on getting SOC2 certified. In the meantime, we sign a legally binding agreement with our users who have data privacy needs/concerns.
For sure. I don't think we are disagreeing on that fact, nor do I believe it hurts the validity of my comment.

Two sides of the same coin. Demand will always exist in a waxing / waning fashion. You've identified an area that will temporarily increase demand in the industrializing countries.

My hope is that the reduction in demand in more established countries will be able to offset that increase in demand somewhat. Probably not enough to net-zero it, but hopefully it has some meaningful effect.
I'll take that as a "no".

Making bundles is always ok as long as it's not commercially unsound way to push other competitors out. Antitrust rules mostly concern dominant players in a market because they are usually the only ones able to do that (though VC-backed companies that have been in the red for decade or more are similar).

In general, MacBooks have always been bundled with MacOS, and Apple did not hold a dominant position in laptops when they started bundling OS (and everyone else usually does too: computer is largely useless without an OS).

If you price bundles commercially (eg. price of Word itself should not equal price of the entire Office suite), and not at a loss, that is generally ok.

So if Apple is forced to unbundle the OS but decides to sell at $10 or $20 (usually the price of Windows on laptops you can get without an OS), do you think it changes anything for customers who like MacOS?

It only ensures Apple has to support those who don't want MacOS.
