It's not always that simple. For a complicated self contained state machine this might work, but what about a situation where you are coordinating interactions with multiple distinct actors? You need a primitive to wait. At that point you need to pick a threading model.

There's a number of projects in the connection queue that are speculative - in many cases, people applying for a connection, then sitting on it to resell. Thankfully, a lot of these "zombie" projects are getting ejected from the queue due to some recent reforms, so we might see those 10+ year connection dates move down.

The first time I transitioned to a different type of job in tech was really tough but I had been pretty unhappy for a while. I wasn't pushed out--the opposite in fact--which made leaving tougher but subsequent events showed it was absolutely the right decision. The next time, my hand was pretty much forced by any clear-headed view of company financials which made it a lot easier to get on a very interesting (and better compensated) track through someone I had done some work for. At the end I wasn't especially happy but it was around the time I was planning to at least semi-retire anyway so the decision was straightforward again.

Thanks these are good advice.

> most managers I had in my now 25-year career in tech were good.

I didn't have tons of managers, but my experience as well. Of course, they have their own interest in mind, rather than mine, but in my case at least, our interests were more or less aligned (completing projects, not burning out or leaving the team, working on things that matter to the company, avoid conflicts...).

About the "tautological" part: Economic feedback loops are natural and don't diminish from the value of being in the area. At one point I went there to open doors that probably wouldn't have been reachable otherwise. Silicon Valley isn't a perfect circle either, because it wasn't just created from nowhere decades ago.

The only reason I don't live there anymore is because I already got the "in" I needed, I think remoteness actually works best if you're ambitious (provided you visit occasionally), and because I really didn't like living there. Idc if someone takes the last part as an excuse, my work speaks for itself.
Drones seem to be quite an important facet of the current war in Ukraine and Russia.

I wonder how fast this factory could be converted produce drones and how fast it could spit them out.

Imagine a circular loop of larger carrier aircraft that load up FPV drones from this factory and fly to their destination to drop them off only to fly back to do it again.

The FPV drones could have object recognition to target people, artillery, infrastructure so they could operate autonomously.

I wonder if they will put the landing pads on the factory roof or next to the factory.

Quite impressive to be honest. I always enjoy seeing how creative and powerful CSS can be.

Though, I feel like there is some level of understanding of HTML/CSS that I will never be able to grasp -- like this demonstration. This person is out here making frosted windows, and I can't even center a div.
I think there’s a little bit more to the golden age story.

The “malaise era” started in the early 70s as a perfect storm of fuel economy restrictions and more widespread US economic woes. This lead to decades of low quality cars being made.

US automakers not only lost out on consumers looking for simple appliances to drive, but ALSO the enthusiasts that liked driving and cars. The car guys that came of age in this era have two choices: chase after the same American muscle cars your dad liked, or switch over to imported hot hatches and the JDM tuner scene

You build the drones in advance of the conflict.
We don’t know the aspect ratio of the client window before-hand and on web, there are a lot of possibilities! So if any pre-blurred image is meant to peek out around the edges, those edge widths are dynamic. Otherwise, a low-res blurred image plus high-res non-blurred edges might be less bandwidth if overhead is low enough.
I left a project in 2003. I can still hit their web login page, and I still see something specific in the URL I put there. I've no doubt they've upgraded some stuff behind the scenes, but they've likely not done huge overhaul, otherwise they'd have simply redone the auth process to whatever an upgraded system uses. They did change some graphics on the login page, and added a google tag thing, and converted some styles to css.

Very odd to look at it and know that I'm probably one of 2 or 3 people who know why that specific code is there, and also to know that the base of this is still running.
> Django was rarely a hindrance.

+1 on this. Django scales pretty well when adopting a clean architecture like Django Model Behaviours with mixins.

> Otherwise, I've found its ORM quite powerful.

Same. In ten years, the only issue I had is with a very complex query that the ORM was not able to write properly. But a workaround existed.

I'm currently using FastAPI in a project. It's very enjoyable (especially with a strictly typed codebase) but I have to write lots of batteries by myself, which is not very productive (unless you keep this boilerplate code for future projects).

What is it about Laravel specifically that you like?

Also, since we're on the topic, I notice that the article also boosts it specifically as an advantage in scaling php ("Fathom's case shows that you can [scale] very effectively with an arsenal of tooling that comes from Laravel.").

This is a surprise to me. Why would the scaling capability come from a framework (generally a collection of code that's essentially executed from within the runtime)? I would expect performance scaling to come from runtime extensions or parameter tweaking or alternate runtimes.

> […] and trickle down and Reaganomics, to start with.

Ideas that were not taken seriously even by the people who put them forward:

> Ronald Reagan launched his 1980 campaign for the presidency on a platform advocating for supply-side economics. During the 1980 Republican Party presidential primaries, George H. W. Bush had derided Reagan's economic approach as "voodoo economics".[23][24] Following Reagan's election, the "trickle-down" reached wide circulation with the publication of "The Education of David Stockman" a December 1981 interview of Reagan's incoming Office of Management and Budget director David Stockman, in the magazine Atlantic Monthly. In the interview, Stockman expressed doubts about supply side economics, telling journalist William Greider that the Kemp–Roth Tax Cut was a way to rebrand a tax cut for the top income bracket to make it easier to pass into law.[25] Stockman said that "It's kind of hard to sell 'trickle down,' so the supply-side formula was the only way to get a tax policy that was really 'trickle down.' Supply-side is 'trickle-down' theory."[25][26][27]

> Political opponents of the Reagan administration soon seized on this language in an effort to brand the administration as caring only about the wealthy.[28] In 1982, John Kenneth Galbraith wrote the "trickle-down economics" that David Stockman was referring to was previously known under the name "horse-and-sparrow theory", the idea that feeding a horse a huge amount of oats results in some of the feed passing through for lucky sparrows to eat.[29] Reagan administration officials including Michael Deaver wanted Stockman to be fired in response to his comments, but he was ultimately kept on in exchange for a private apology.[30]

In the end is the same plot in every time, in 1894 an Italian Education Minister for SEVEN times, Guido Baccelli, stated "we need to teach just to read and write, be careful teaching history, we MUST set aside anti-dogmatism and critical thinking, the people MUST NOT THINK or we will be in trouble".

We see the same trend everywhere, in every profession as well, even in education https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/08/i-was-usef... the issue is that such people are unable to innovate and smart and educated people are always scarce so if you do not cultivate knowledge you simply lost it, knowledge is the sole "natural resources" that grow with use instead of the contrary.

Not a hindrance, but something like not having a typed database, no auto completion over time, can be a real drawback (I know about django-types).

Finally, in my opinion, the best reason to not use Django is not the project itself (because it will do the job in 99% case), it's because all you learn is tied to Django.

Having learn Pydantic recently was a breed of fresh air, and I would reuse it in lots of projects, not only web projects.

There are acute risks and long term risks. Yeah it's dangerous to kiss a baby. No one is saying it isn't just as dangerous to bubble wrap them.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss an evolved behavior. Most likely if the parents are OK with it, and in the absence of major artificial factors, the benefits outweigh the risks. The microbiologists are right, but it's just not the whole picture, it's a small part of the whole equation.
When I was working out how web dev works, I learned the hard way that adding a div is often a good idea, and when you see most modern websites they are a huge pile of divs. If you want a centered div, add another div that is just the full size of the space to center inside, then centering within that div is relatively easy.

The same sort of goes with many visual tricks, although this one is very clean, which makes it all the more impressive.

FWIW, I don't think this is really a Trump era exclusive. People have always believed whatever they wanted to believe, facts and accuracy be damned. IMHO understanding this as an inexorable human condition makes it much easier to understand the world.

What actually matters is people can be persuaded to _want_ to believe different things, so the only real leverage is in shaping those wants—not in being right.
