Yeah, that’s totally fair! Not everybody will. In our experience, the problems we solve are the creeping kind that develop over time and show themselves as maintenance costs.

Let’s say we want to add web automation to our app, and we've set up a single instance of Chrome hosted on a server somewhere that we connect to and drive with Puppeteer. Great, now we need to ensure incoming requests/sessions are managed properly (>1 active session). If we have a ton of active requests, this becomes annoying because now the resources on our server are being eaten up — so we would need to scale horizontally (or vertically) but now that comes with potential downtime and cold start issues. If we decide to keep this instance of Chrome running 24/7 then we need to bake in resource management to handle memory leaks and connection issues. If we don’t keep them alive, then this comes with significant cold start times (10s+).

Now, let’s say we want to support a real-time scraping use case that requires multiple browsers in parallel. At this point, we would need to use something like Kubernetes with warm pods or maybe lambdas/cloud run. But even those have their own set of challenges/costs. Managing Kubernetes can get complicated and expensive quickly, especially if you’re not already using it for your app. On the other hand, serverless options like Lambda or Cloud Run introduce latency issues (cold starts) and often don’t provide the flexibility you need for long-running sessions or custom configurations.

Then, beyond the infra, we'll probably need to build capabilities to not get stopped out by anti-bot measures like proxy mgmt, fingerprint rotation, captcha solving, etc.

Pretty quickly, as you grow, a small-scale project can turn into a pretty big maintenance project. Building parsers/agents/scripts is hard enough, so we're hoping to make the infra side as easy as possible.
Designing systems with formal modeling, simulations, and chaos testing – Datadog
DSLs are not a new or a bad thing. We use them everyday. SQL, HTML, CSS, JSON, Postscript, Markdown, YAML, Latex, and GNU make are all DSLs. The job of a programmer is to come up with thoughtful composable abstractions, a vocabulary of nouns and verbs, that match how experts tend to think about the problem domain. That's all I do all day. Imagine SQL as a library. Sorry, I meant don't.

Perhaps the difference is that my DSLs are hosted on Lisp, so inherit that syntax. The nouns and verbs I create extend the standard library transparently. There is nothing to learn but the vocabulary. So perhaps programmers who aren't confident about language design should avoid creating DSLs that aren't hosted on a good general purpose language. Everyone else should write DSLs on top of Lisp the way God and John McCarthy intended.
By your argument, since an encyclopedia is not a person, I can copy it with impunity. It's a collection of work built on others' ideas and research, but technically a tool to bring it together. I can assure you that virtually any school would consider the direct use of it, without citation, plagiarism.

Let's assume I used an encyclopedia outside of my native tongue. I took the passage verbatim, used a tool to translate it to my native tongue, and passed it off as my own. The translation tool is clearly not a person, and I've even transformed the original work. I might escape detection, but this is still plagiarism.

Do you not agree?

Let's go to how Cambridge University defines it academically:

> Plagiarism is defined as the unacknowledged use of the work of others as if this were your own original work.

> A student may be found guilty of an act of plagiarism irrespective of intent to deceive.

And let's go to their specific citation for the use of AI in research:

> AI does not meet the Cambridge requirements for authorship, given the need for accountability. AI and LLM tools may not be listed as an author on any scholarly work published by Cambridge

FWIW I tried switching a fairly large project from Jest to Vitest, hoping for performance improvements. Instead I got some inscrutable errors about circular dependencies.

More generally this is one of the really annoying things about Node.js. You might have some circular dependency that works everywhere, but it fails when you use some specific bundler or test runner. Cause they all handle things slightly differently.

> Platonism and Christianity are brother and sister

While certainly many Christian philosophers cite Platonism, I think you're missing the point. Buddhism encourages a detached style of living life. In practice, in its traditional form, I don't think it suggests ignoring relationships and turning inwards. However, in the practice of America's aristocracy, it takes on these tones.

However, Christianity, especially Catholic Christianity, is explicitly in favor of attachment to people. It's not like Buddhism in that sense, and especially not the pop 'Buddhism' practiced in cities by young Americans today.

Stack Overflow moderation was dominated by a bunch of asshole incels a long time ago.
I think there’s a place for something like Stack Overflow to replace Stack Overflow, using similar primitives to Bluesky (where you can choose who to block). This avoids the quality and temperament of the mods infringing on the user base. Perhaps you could even build this on top of Bluesky (and the AT protocl) itself.

It’s just about who has the control over what is seen and shared. Let the users vote, annotate, block, etc.
There's people who regard the government as organised crime… and some such people are not even in the government themselves.

Yes, I do agree that not knowing how one can solve it is a huge contributor to nobody trying to solve it.

If we go by what "it seem[s] like" (to a layperson), we could reasonably argue that the word (scientific) "theory" should be changed because a significant part of the populus confuses that with the definition of hypothesis.

This also, again, ignores that, long before OTA was a thing for cars, the logistics behind recalls for items ranging from meat, over mattresses, to medical equipment, etc. differed widely in execution and financial impact, yet again, have all been covered under the same term.

This started because you stated that by considering severe safety issues as recalls we'd have to adapt to a "new meaning", simply because you felt it is weird that OTA addressable safety issues are covered by that, when this has historically been the accepted, commonly used and well worn definition. If you want to change it, than more power to you, but don't claim that yours is the original definition, when it isn't. Especially since terms like these are regulated to ensure companies cannot weasel around them.

> In my native language the term "recall" has even stronger implications of physical return, it means "call to bring it back".

German? If we go purely by the literal definition of words, then I'd question why no one ever saw fit to complain that a recall/Rückruf rarely contains an actual call (or shout in the case of German) to the customers affected.

Add to that, is it really reasonable to just point at the most literal definition a, both well established and for good reasons regulated, word has? One that, again, has been in use for decades across many product types where the remedy was not having to bring the item to a garage for a fix to get wrenched on?

Idiomatic expressions exist, I hope deadlines aren't taken literally at any modern workplace.

Nilpferd also sounds bizarre considering they are closer to whales than horses, evolutinary speaking, yet we somehow manage, so I feel Rückruf isn't even close to the worst offender in that regard.

Was it MKBHD who made some weird claim that he spoke to a bunch of people, "most of whom thought the cyber truck was closer to $1M and were amazed to hear it was more like $100K"?

I have NEVER heard that. It makes zero sense and sounds more like the fever dream of a Teslarati: "Wow, I know the median home price in my area is $500K, and the median household income $80K, but all of a sudden there is this explosion of million dollar Teslas on the road!"
>As though by building more housing the only possible outcome are poor people doing drugs next to my kids' school. Guess what, there's already people doing drugs next to my kids school, even in "nice" neighborhoods.

Yes, that is pretty much the only outcome of putting "affordable housing" in higher class neighborhoods. Also, if there's people doing drugs next to your kid's school, you aren't in a nice neighborhood. The SF Bay Area, almost entirely, is a shit hole, and it has colored the view of a lot of people to have a defeatist attitude about what you can afford in this country and what is expected and acceptable to expose your family to. I don't live in the Bay Area and I never will, in part exactly because I refuse to expose my family to what it means to live there.

> This is not black and white.

It's pretty binary. "Affordable housing" automatically means bringing social ills, and if you are positioning it in higher class neighborhoods, you are necessarily bringing that neighborhood down, intentionally.

> You don't have to pull someone down to raise others up.

That's exactly my point, unfortunately you seem not to understand your own statement because your are advocating a position that drags down anyone who managed to make it into a decent neighborhood, in order to raise up those in "affordable housing".

I'm not saying we shouldn't build more housing, or that it shouldn't be affordable, but it definitely does not need to be in the high end neighborhoods. This entire sub-thread is a response to someone saying the only reason that people who live in high end neighborhoods don't want "affordable housing" is because it will make their property values go down in an abstract sense. Well, of course it makes abstract property values go down, because the concrete is that you go from a neighborhood where you can let your kids play in the park and walk to school to a situation where you need a bodyguard to go to the gas station.

Just be honest about your position. The drive to put "affordable housing" in nice neighborhoods is not about making more housing or making it affordable, it's about trying to punish people you see as undeserving of their wealth by forcing them to "face reality" and live in the same circumstances as poor people. It's an intentional attempt to drag people down, for the sake of dragging them down.
1. The stylelint config will flag any selector not scoped (be it a class or an attribute) to the filename. This way you'll be notified if any selector could be misapplied essentially preventing these global accidents.

2. You could use a build step for this, yes. Personally, I don't because the theme files more or less contain always the same tokens. I rarely add any (colors being the most frequent) and if I do, the cost of it being unused is minimal. My standard full theme file is around 5kb.

3. Stylelint complements my work but isn't necessary. My code does not depend on it to work, contrary to Tailwind, for instance. I'm free to stop using it any time.

4. It's a monolothic file containing all the code needed for the whole site and not only the page I'm looking at now. It may not make that much of a difference in performance, but still, the browser downloads CSS code it does not need now and then must read through all of it to apply needed rules. Not optimal.

By the way, it's great you came back with further questions! Hope to have addressed them at your satisfaction. Still at your disposal if you have more!
I only have 20 years of development experience, so I'll defer to Walter here, but if I were to write that equation it would look like `d + (e * g)`. I don't trust mine or anyone's understanding of operator precedence. Just look at how ridiculously hard to read their implementations in parsers are.

Specifically d+e*g I might make an exception for in a code review (and allow it), since it's such a widely known precedence in mathematics you can expect the reader and writer to know the way it goes, but any more complex and I'd reject it in the review for lack of parentheses.
I think a pretty fundamental problem with the current SO approach to question moderation is that if you are not very knowledgeable about something (ie the kind of person likely to ask a question), you can't easily tell if your question is a "duplicate" of another (but differently worded) SO question.

Ive had some of my questions get closed and then get pointed to an earlier question, where the only way to recognize that the answer Im looking for is mentioned on the page is to know the answer already.

It's hard to imagine that this level of ignorance wasn't intentional from the beginning.
it's strict because the US has no national healthcare and joining the military to get medical care, or lying about issues to get cared for later, is common enough that it's a concern.

way less of a problem in places with socialized medicine, since everyone is already in the system and it's easy to get records pulled -- e.g. check the box during application, wait several weeks, and go.

and there is no incentive to screw the military, since you can get that hernia problem fixed without them.

also, issuing medical and personel waivers to people who aren't 100% perfect is a way the military controlled inputs; during lean times you issue more waivers, give more people a pass who may not fit the bill otherwise.
> Another aspect is that of this is that Western culture is beginning to inspire Japanese creators.

I just want to mention that "beginning to" is selling it short a bit

Japan has been influenced heavily by Western culture for a very long time

Dungeons and Dragons was huge in Japan for a while and inspired things like Record of Lodoss War. Famous composer for Final Fantasy Nobuo Uematsu has talked about one of his biggest inspirations being Elton John. Many episodes of Cowboy Bebop are titled after popular American classic blues-rock songs, and the whole show is very "American". After all, Cowboys and Blues Rock are very American

This may be becoming more prevalent as time goes on but it's been a shift that is happening for a long while
I choose not to watch most American-made entertainment because I share this sentiment, however, I'd like to point out that it goes much deeper than that. All media is a construction and projection of a certain viewpoint on reality. Until American entertainment can project a view that is wholesome, I must always consider it to be less valuable than media that does. This is not only for entertainment's sake, but also for the mental health of viewers. We need shows to show people how to be polite and how to behave, not shows that denigrate and debase. We should all put less emphasis on shows that align with political views and more emphasis on shows that align with moral ones.

Stack overflows moderation made it, and it will also kill it.

There's something about software that attracts people who interpret rules for humans as something to be interpreted by computers rather than people.

Absolute word Vs rough guidelines.
I don't think the problem is blocking, the environment it was built on was sterile. We had large forums back then where people would discuss anything, build community at the off topic channels (like the venerable JavaRanch) but there was no such thing at SO because it was actively trying to kill any off topic discussion.

The site itself was built on a platform of being a tool alone, where people shouldn't interact unless it was to ask a question or provide an answer. I have made friends and met multiple people from the multiple forums and user groups I was a member of but I met 0 people at SO even though i contributed hundreds of answers.

So it's no wonder it produced this mechanistic and toxic environment. It saddens me we lost so much of these niche communities to this thing.
The Russians have a strange relationship with Nazism. They enthusiastically partnered with Hitler in 1939 to take over Europe and only went 'anti nazi' when Hitler turned on them.

They now call their opponents nazis when they behave more like the German nazi party than any other country on earth. I can't help but think it's a propaganda thing to call the enemies nazis to distract from behaving that way themselves.

I mean who rolled tanks into Ukraine to grab the territory for themselves and drive their 'lesser people' into submission? Putin's invasion is pretty much a copy of Hitlers.

Whether or not other people like your look is of course not the be-all and end-all of fashion, but it's certainly relevant. "I don't like how it looks" is a legitimate criticism of an article of fashion.
