A big improvement over CSS, but still seems pretty manual and finnicky, I wonder if a constraint solver based system and syntax would be ideal for laying out UI.

For instance, being able to set the constraint "element.[x,y] = other.[x,y]+other.[width,height]/2;", instead of working with "attachment" objects.

Suggestion: perhaps call it Vanilla++? With the list of tools many (including me) would argue that it's not really 'vanilla js', but rather 'frameworkless npm'.

In my very humble opinion, vanilla js is esmodules, html, fetch and good old plain css. Basically a no-node environment, static hosting and no transpilation.

IT isn't music. IT isn't chess. IT isn't writing or typing.

IT is a moving target. IT is a relentless grind.

So be gentle to yourself, and don't feel pressured. The article is not really about achieving expert performance, it's about improving your craft (in a way that may lead to expert performance).

Improving is growth. Now with IT, I think it's important to separate the temptation to learn whatever shiney Serverless-AI-Rust-Crypto thing that's trendy this quarter from learning fundamentals, things that don't change.

I've read that "learning LISP will make you a better programmer". I don't know, because I've never tried, but it feels like something with some truth. Perhaps the thing you need isn't LISP, but colour-space algorithms, or design patterns, or technical writing, or public-speaking, or good old SED and AWK.

But there's something out there that will help you grow, and give you heightened confidence and some lateral skills or fundamental skills to not only solve today's normal problems, but be able to solve tomorrow's off-the-wall problems as well.

But as to why? It's my experience that if I'm not learning something, or deepening my knowledge of something, then I don't really feel happy, or satisfied. But if I'm learning, even if I'm not in a good job, I still feel it's worthwhile because I'm largely doing it for myself.

Take the above with a grain of salt. It may not chime with you, or it may not apply to your circumstances. But if nothing else, be kind to yourself.
> Barring a major disaster, by 2100 we will have a vibrant Earth + off-Earth resource ecosystem via machines/AI.

Except that we have thought similar things before.

With the collapse of the Soviet Union people (in the west) thought that we had been through the great danger of nuclear war, and were set for a peaceful and prosperous future. SO much so that the idea of "the end of history" became extremely influential.

IMO that is why the west is finding it so hard to cope with the world turning out to be a dangerous place.

Wasting time is okay. Some people watch sports, play video games, go to the pub, work on that old thing in the garage (and just end up watching youtube videos about other people's projects).

I started taking notes, started cutting down on low-quality infotainment/edutainment (for example while I know folks at SciShow work a lot on their content, put a lot of effort into producing scientifically correct stuff, but it's just not deep enough, it's too fast), and in general try to watch/listen to multiple videos that touch the same topics. (Because many complex things require multiple passes to comprehend anyway, and getting different viewpoints, different presentation helps a lot with that.)

This is basically what java modules do, right? From java 9 and onwards.

You have public stuff within your module, that other packages in the module can use. But another module cannot use it without you declaring it as part of your actual public facing API. I don't see people use it much in application code, though. Often just a single module where people can call everything.
When I was commuting 2 hours a day on the bus, my daily driver was an 8-inch iPad that I used with a logitec keyboard case tethered to my iPhone for internet, and would connect to my VSCode on my $10/mo droplet using Code-Server.

I'm guessing you don't have a clue how research works.
It wasn't a warning with a 70% accuracy though. It was saying it's 3x or 4x more likely than usual, which is still pretty unlikely. I don't think more information is ever a bad thing. Should countries have published covid statistics or hid them because it's very distracting, kind of worrying, and nothing really happened in the end? It was useful to know when cases were going up in your community so you can take precautions.

I took the megaquake warning as me realizing that I need to have at least 3 days of water stockpiled. I had 0. I don't really want to be a burden upon my neighbors in case of an earthquake, so it made sense just to store some water.

I merely answered the Why? in the clickbaity article title.

As far as my thoughts on the policy, I think it's quite more reasonable than the far more popular western policy of letting the free market kill itself in a race to the bottom only to then be bought out by China.

The current rice shortage isn't a problem to do with the policy, it's how it's being handled.

Plenty of countries have subsidised or even free food programmes. (EDIT: Nvm, missed “to developing countries.”)
No, it's not metaphorical.

If in January, you can buy something for $1, then in February because of inflation it becomes $1.10, that's a 10% tax increase.

You don’t get, when web servers were a new thing, why anyone continued using the same kind of executables they always had to handle workloads that required executable code.

Probably because there was not yet any data AT ALL about demand from the network, the patterns that random visitors could cause, etc.

Weather is not climate and hurricanes are weather. What, then, does climate mean? There is a rough consensus on that, climate is '30 years of weather trends'. In other words - used by NOAA among others - 'climate is what you expect, weather is what you get'. Whether or not the current hurricane season turns out to be 'unimpressive' as it currently seems to be or whether it develops into something more 'exiting' is not that interesting seen in the light of climatology. What is interesting it the trend over a longer period [1] which shows a clear reduction in the number of tropical cyclones (typhoons, tropical storms and hurricanes) in most basins (regions for tropical cyclone formation, roughly corresponding with sea basins) with the exception of the North Atlantic region which saw a decline from the 1870s to the 1970s followed by an increase back to the level of around 1900 [2]. This increase in observed Atlantic hurricanes in combination with an observed decrease in the number of hurricanes making landfall is probably due to improvements in weather observations instead of a true increase in frequency [3].

When a hurricane does make landfall the trend is for them to be more expensive and less deadly, the former due to the fact that areas previously deemed unsuitable for construction like flood plains and other low-lying areas have been used for construction, the latter due to better prognoses.

Yes and no. I had a Treo and it obviously made doing email on the go much easier. (Which is why I bought it. At the time I was on crutches for about six months and lugging around my laptop wasn't in the cards.) On the other hand, the app ecosystem was obviously seriously limited and even accessing Exchange was sort of a kludge.

And, at the time, I was still using a separate (Apple) MP3 player.

Part of it is that SO wants to think of itself as some kind of long term knowledge base and is obsessed with the idea of pruning "duplicates", even though whether aqquestion is actually a duplicate and whether the original answer is actually still up to date requires deeply understanding the old question, the old answer, the new question, and what the answer to the new question would be.

A very large part of SO questions is "how to use this poorly documented library feature?" or "what is the idiomatic way to solve X problem?", and answers to these kinds of questions become stale and useless very fast. Even more frustratingly, if you have a question like this and an old answer does exist, there's a good chance that you wouldn't be able to tell if the old answer is applicable without further assistance.

Additionally, hardcore SO contributors and SO senior management are constantly at each other's throats, very stubborn about their own interests and often out of touch with and callous about the question-asker plebs' experience in different and conflicting ways.

For many, SO karma internet points are a CV item.

EDIT with some other points:

I feel like documention of libraries and such has often gotten a lot better. AI is actually really useful and can help solve a ton of problems in the space of things I don't know how to figure out myself by reading docs, but don't need to have an actual human expert look at my situation, which is most of the stuff that ends up on SO. Support chatrooms for libraries have gotten a lot more polite and accessible, with clearly marked streamlined paths for asking your questions and much less "hop into #foobar-support on irc so you can be told to RTFM".

There's a bunch of misaligned interests on something like SO:

- Upper management is running a business, cares about user metrics and actually making money;

- Actual question-answering follows a power law, with a handful of power users being responsible for most answers. Like I said, these people often consider this internet reputation as something important to their livelihood, plus your usual ego stuff;

- Question askers don't care about SO as a platform. They are working on some kind of project, run into some kind of blocking issue, and want to find a way to get that resolved ASAP so they can continue with what they were doing.
Their whole business is AdWords.

Everything else is just icing / data harvesting.

A lot of countries have a national food reserve that is used to calm prices when demand fluctuates, it allows time to adjust production while you’re putting food in or out of the reserve to control prices.

Does Japan not have that?
> No, it's not metaphorical

It is, though largely due to confusion rather than intentional metaphor. (Exception: when described as a “shadow tax,” though that is still a close metaphor and only applies to debt-monetising monetary inflation.)

> If in January, you can buy something for $1, then in February because of inflation it becomes $1.10, that's a 10% tax increase

You’re confusing taxes and costs.

When Russia invaded Ukraine, they didn’t levy a tax on poor Egyptians even though Moscow’s actions raised their food costs. Cost increases are taxing [1]. Confusing something taxing with a tax [2] is a common mistake but still wrong. (And valiantly wrong in a policy context.)

> Modern CPUs are actually really good at deciding operations into micro-ops.

The largest out-of-order CPUs are actually quite reliant on having high-performance decode that can be performed in parallel using multiple hardware units. Starting from a simplified instruction set with less legacy baggage can be an advantage in this context. RISC-V is also pretty unique among 64-bit RISC ISA's wrt. including compressed instructions support, which gives it code density comparable to x86 at a vastly improved simplicity of decode (For example, it only needs to read a few bits to determine which insns are 16-bit vs. 32-bit length).
I agree, and I see similar trends in OSS projects.

The worse the economy is, the greater the inequality between the masses and the top 0.1% the less we can afford to be idealistic and give away our time.

Why are you assuming that all people try to become experts in order to impress, make an impact, earn money? Frequently top performers that commit themselves to these things are only partially motivated by them. Take for example e-sport youngsters, these people don't even have these things in sight but they still commit themselves fully into whatever they are doing.

Yes, they are because they want to target systems which explicitely disallow cross-compilation like Debian.

Yes, I think it's silly too but other people disagree and they are free to work on whatever they want.
Do I think it's a mostly pointless waste of time? Obviously, I do. Still, I guess there are worst ones.

Note that the Rust project does use cross-compilation for the ports it supports itself and considering the amount of time they use features only available in the current version of rustc in rustc, I guess it's safe to assume they share my opinion on the usefulness of keeping Rust bootstrappable.

Unfortunately with Google's departure from doing that hardware, it's all pretty much lower-priced educational market stuff and if I really needed a lightweight travel device, I'd get a tablet (which I did recently) or a MacBook Air. MacBooks are low enough maintenance that a good high-res Chromebook wouldn't really be enough cheaper or lighter to really buy you much.
