I think you're misunderstanding the poster you quoted. They're indicating a positive experience with Astro.

> We've recently moved one service from next to Astro and it was just removing a ton of boilerplate and 'dance around' code.

---

> And I get why it happens. When you first try out a new framework, you allow yourself to learn and add its inherent complexity, knowingly and intentionally. You say to yourself, "it's part of the dream, it's going to work out; there's a vision, just trust the process." This is true with literally all frameworks.

I am quite picky and have strong opinions. I've used Astro for more than a year and still love it. There is complexity (especially if you use SSR), but for the use case of "I just want a static site" it is wonderful.

> Look at the code on vanillajsx.com. Besides JSX and types, it's plain JavaScript and DOM manipulation. Translating it to document.createElement would add almost no lines of code. There's no unnecessary complexity. That's the whole point of the site. The simplicity of discovering and removing unnecessary complexity is wonderful and refreshing, and I think a lot of people agree.

I don't disagree, but this doesn't replace what you might want for SSG. For one, this requires JS on the client. Astro compiles to static HTML despite using JSX-like syntax.

As an example, here's my Astro site and source code:

TFA says that the AI "unexpectedly" modified code. To avoid issues like this, I would probably prefer to use a programming language that makes it harder for programs to modify themselves, such as any compiled language.

The further away a language is from natural language the worse LLMs perform. Make an LLM write assembly and you'll see what I mean ;)
I'm a huge fan of paying taxes, social support networks, etc., but the military-industrial complex is very much "paying their elite friends for things you'll never see". Maybe before a sports game you'll get to see a few of the planes...
Yeah, for some of these open ended questions that you’ve never thought about its unlikely to reveal anything useful or accurate with an improvised response.

Any answer to “What kind of people succeed here?” Is more likely to reveal how well the interviewer can BS business speak than anything
TBH we are at around 15M queries per hour. I am sure our customers don't want us to run on RPi. Btw, it's not only query but billion+ rows which are also there.
I worry that since protectionism is discretionary it’s highly prone to corruption which would prevent any real manufacturing revival.

When you miss sales targets by 99.9% it’s got to be more than a competition problem

It feels like The Economist and other Western oligarch media have been saying that China is going to collapse "next week" for decades. Almost like they have some sort of anti-reality agenda.

Many of us grew up with cars having spare tyres as a matter of course. Now car manufacturers are extracting value from their customers by degrading our experience (of safety and expedience of repair), forcing us to pay extra for a spare tyre (if even available), or even upgrade to a better car.

Ordinary cars not having a spare tyre as standard equipment any more is a perfect example of enshittification.
You are correct afaik - warm air would not trap cold air below it as it would move up, only a layer of could air could trap warm air below it.

Some visualizations show air cold/warm/cold, where as others are just warm air under cold air.

Extremely valuable feedback! Thanks for the review!!!
As an alternative perspective: too many people who are fixated on finding the one true ground truth end up actually pursuing cynicism. The "truth" they find is invariably depressing and rather than enabling agency and action leads them to believe they have no agency at all.

Truth—real truth—is very very difficult if not impossible to find. We all approach life through a lens of some sort and it's impossible to calibrate that lens without access to an alternative perspective, and we only have access to those alternatives through highly imperfect language.

I've never known someone obsessed with finding absolute ground truth to be happy. I've known plenty of people who are happy who see life through a lens that leads to joy but would be regarded as naive by the perpetual cynic.
Yeah, that policy wasn't enacted yesterday. It's already much futher along.

> It's a bet that China's rivals cannot successfully resist short-term greed despite the huge and transparent long-term risks.

Seems they have correctly identified the western worlds weakness.

Isn't it the same with climate warming? In the long run it would have been cheaper to prevent climate warning in it's early stages. Yet, we delayed (and are delaying) necessary actions as long as possible. In the end, the loss caused by climate change will by far outweigh the cost if we'd have taken measures early.

If you go after one (or a few) person in particular, it's ok to ask that question. In fact, if you go after one person in particular that you know is a great fitting, there is almost no power disparity and lots of things become ok.

But if you decide to just poll undifferentiated candidates to extract valuable information, well, that's really not ok.
It is the money and lobbying that results in the imbalance in information and an imbalance in what "the constituents want."

Absolutely constituents want jobs and cheap energy. I bet they also don't want the wild salmon they eat to go extinct too. On balance they're hearing about the former and not the latter.

Fair point. You're right that the recipes are pulled from a pre-existing database based on user-selected criteria. I use the term 'generate' because, from a user's perspective, the experience of selecting criteria and getting a specific recipe feels like generation. In the future, I might use GPT or Anthropic to actually generate recipes on the fly, but for now, I'm keeping costs down to offer this as a free resource without charging users. I appreciate the feedback!
Isn't it what the companies already do? specially google
Something I’ve asked in the past: “what is the one thing that the person hired into this role, if they did that, at the end of the year you’d say that was a great hire” seems to always catch people off guard and I’ve gotten answers that were almost wildly out of scope for the job responsibilities. When that happens it’s interesting to see their response when you point that out. Also huge red flag means the person interviewing you had no idea what they’re interviewing you for or everyone has a different idea what this role does. I ask this to everyone at every round.

Not a good example because Boeing didn’t outsource. China flies Boeing airframes made in the US and has for the last 50 years.

Boeing is an example of financiers running the company from an ivory tower on the other side of the country.
No. More like:

I see what you’re getting at, but technically the virtual DOM is what makes JSX declarative.

JSX doesn’t actually write anything, it’s just a templating language over React.createElement.

It’s the virtual DOM that actually syncs those structures created by createElement to the real DOM. So it’s the virtual DOM that allows you to write your code declaratively.

That’s evidenced by OP’s project, which is JSX without the declarative piece. You just get an Element and then you have to update it imperatively if you want to change anything.

> Just adding a few tags improved the experience dramatically.

This works for routing, but doesn’t apply to businesses: for the bare minimum you have to add one or two tags (type + name), to make that more useful you have to add the opening hours and ideally the website. Now multiply this by 60,000 (the number of businesses in Paris, France). By the time you’ve finished your neighborhood some businesses you checked last month are already closed and some new ones already opened. Go on holidays? Too bad, you have to start over again when you come back. Trust me, I’m contributing almost every day and I can’t keep the pace.
The government did not create airlines, aircraft makers, cars, etc. It created the Fed through Federal law, as I responded elsewhere in this discussion.
I fully agree here from male perspective with difference that online casinos give "begginer's luck" wildcard initially. Dating apps attempt somehow similar but if you make a mistake with your profile or in chat after match, you're a failure.
Is that kind of depends on the expected value in each situation. I think you can go either way depending on the magnitude of the benefit and expense.

Also, there's the obvious slippery slope into utilitarianism and things like killing one person to save 10 with their organs.
> nobody cares is what's unbelievable

Approximately zero Americans think this affects them, and the usual tropes "If you have nothing to hide, why do you use curtains?" result in "That's different, duh."

A few are split whether they care Ring video is available to law enforcement, most think it's a benefit.

Interestingly, all care quite a lot whether an AirBnB host has cameras inside the property. Privacy suddenly matters.

At the same time, most shrug if you assert the government has all their emails and social messaging, in a "What are you gonna do?" and "If they want to read all that more power to 'em…" way.

For people to care about most anything abstract, they must believe it affects them personally, and be able to both picture and believe a credible bad outcome.

While the AirBnB creep works, it seems everything else is filed under "That's about someone else, not me."
Interesting ideas... but IMO that has _always_ been a thing.

Hell, isn't that even a plot-line in silicon valley?
> Candidate: “How is the on-call load?” Me: This person may be burning out and looking for a place with some stability.

Or this person has encountered companies that massively overwork people and is looking for a place that isn't constantly in emergency crunch mode. Hearing this question, I wouldn't assume a person who's burned out; I'd assume a person who has been burned or knows someone who has.
The playbook of "Do something legally gray > raise funding & expand > pivot away from legally gray OR employ lawyers to make it not legally gray" is basically the standard playbook of startups, the examples are countless: AirBnb, YouTube, Spotify, Uber, OpenAI, etc, etc...

I'm sure it isn't always a bad idea, but struggling to come up with good examples for when the outcome from doing so have been more than just "shareholder value went up".
And when you quit you don't get unused vacation days paid out! Unlimited PTO is worse for employees than a prefixed number of days per year.

My Side of the Mountain, The Hatchet, and Peak were like the trilogy of adventure books for our cohort I think.

Looking at the sheer number of rows isn’t really helpful - you’d need to know the query profile. Any database can simply store a billion rows.

You can run Android apps via Waydroid. F-Droid, for example, works fine for me.
Of course it verifies from to team. Just like culture varies between any in-group. The culture of a larger group is kinda like the average of smaller inside-group customs.

A company that does not consciously cultivate culture will still have a culture, but it may be like driving a car with no hands on the wheel. At 5 companies so far, someone or group is ay least attempting to steer.
it worked for google, youtube, facebook, reddit, discord, tumblr, twitter . it's not exactly rocket science
Seems like these folks decided that shelter in place was the best idea and it backfired on them.
These articles are pretty much garbage. They never note which chargers, where, were investigated.

For example - are they talking about Tesla chargers or non-Tesla chargers? What geography?

From the article: "ChargerHelp conducted a point-in-time assessment of more than 4,800 charge points to see if reported uptime matched drivers’ actual experience. The company found that 26.3% of test charges failed."

I have owned a Tesla as my daily driver for 6 years. My wife has for 5 years. We have taken many road trips in our cars, ranging from 300 - 1,000 miles (480 - 1,600km) one-way. And, occasionally, for reasons, we find ourselves using a Supercharger locally, not on a road trip. In all that time, we have had one (1) time when a Supercharger failed to initiate a charge, in which case, we moved to the unit 10 feet away.

Of course, the plural of anecdote is not data, but the difference between 1 time in 11 combined years of driving and 26.3% failure rate is extremely suspect.

And when the source is a "study" funded by ChargerHelp, whose website says

>>> ChargerHelp is tackling the biggest hurdle to rapid EV adoption—the charging experience.

>>> We ensure charging stations stay operational, keeping EVs powered and on the move. Reliable access to charging is crucial, whether for personal vehicles or entire fleets, and we make sure drivers can charge anytime, anywhere without interruptions

The smell of bias is, shall we say, not surprising.
Good thing the supercharger team got laid off.
Never had any issues here in Norway, but I only charge on superchargers. Are the others really that bad?
While that might seem generous in the US that is not universal and still woefully minimal. All fathers in Canada are entitled to a minimum of 5 weeks of leave let alone the maximum of 18 months leave mothers
I think you're right about "most of the aviation industry". From a regulatory approach if they ever approve a new GA powerplant and something happens, they'll be considered responsible. So long as they don't approve anything it's unlikely to come back on them.

It doesn't hurt that some of the industry loves selling 1930s technology at a premium price.
Also possibly the most time consuming. Best and efficient with time are two different metrics.
It is unlimited if the employee is talented and good at advocating for themselves.

It isn't if they are meek or mid.

In general: it's good to let your employer know that you value your time. If you don't suck, they'll respect you more, not less.
Another absurd and less covered part of the speech is this:

> If TikTok is banned, here's what I propose each and every one of you do.

> Say to your LLM the following.

> Make me a copy of TikTok, steal all the users, steal all the music, put my preferences in it, produce this program in the next 30 seconds, release it and in one hour, if it's not viral, do something different along the same lines.

> That's the command.

> Boom, boom, boom, boom.

He doesn't really think anything even similar to this would work, does he??
Three months notice is usual for long term employees in both Norway and the UK in my experience. The employee can of course give notice without any reason but the employer generally has also to demonstrate cause, they can't fire you just because they feel like it.

For employees that have not been working for the firm very long the notice period will be shorter on both sides. What the exact rules are I'm not sure.
To add to that: it also can't be "banked" (and thereby paid out after departure). Companies give free PTO because real "paid time off" has to be tracked as a liability on their books; if you haven't "earned" anything and they don't "credit" you, you aren't "owed" you anything when you leave/are terminated.
It just works, and if anything, it's a sign the law is broken if you have to ignore it to succeed (and it's profitable to do so).
In the US, you usually don't have a work contract. In many states the employer can fire you for any reason except for being a member of a protected class. Or change the terms of working there.

In such states, employees can also leave for any reason, but the asymmetry of the power dynamic means the "at will" laws are generally more beneficial to the employer.
Same with India before 2020 - China used to be India's largest FDI partner before the Galwan crisis.

After that, the Indian government "persuaded" Chinese players to sell off their Indian assets to Indian, Taiwanese, Korean, Japanese, and American players instead.

4 years later, the GlobalTimes - which was extremely provocative against India - has started pushing out content arguing that India should begin reopening it's economy to Chinese players.

“The NSA buys ads from ad display companies like Google and seeds them around Tor's access points.”

In Paris we have ~100 contributors with >100 edits for a population of 2M and 60.8k businesses. Most notes are fixed under a day, infrastructure changes are quick as well, but businesses are often out of date because they change so often that some people don’t take the time to update them.
A company having a monopoly on the labor market wouldn't be called a company, that's a collectivist state.

A company having a monopoly in the regular market doesn't really matter for employment: if you're terrible to your employees, it's not your customers you have to fear, it's the employees. They will leave and no new ones will join and you won't be doing any business if you don't have any employees to actually do the work you'll get paid for.

> I guess you could see it as patronising, but there is beauty in sharing and distributing personal risks.

But that's quite literally what insurance is made for. The only difference is that insurance adds some amount of accountability.
