IMO create-react-app was a crutch for the last generation of build systems like webpack which were egregiously complex. Nowadays you just use Vite and start with whatever Github template has all the tech you need. Even starting a project from scratch is really simple now since the config files to get started are tiny and simple. There’s always the problem of outdated tutorials on the internet, but as a frontend dev spinning up a new project has never been simpler.

The pace of development is definitely challenging. There’s so many libraries involved in any project that many fall behind in updating their code and application devs get caught in the crossfire when trying to upgrade (and woe be to you if someone added react = “*” somewhere in their peer dependencies).
Tech's Reality Problem
A survey of OLAP and HTAP query engines
I've heard so much about Hitler and Nazis for 10 years now. If there is an actual Nazi around, no one would care any more thanks to incessant crying wolf. Which is a shame. And it didn't win the election, so it's time to drop it.

I would agree with you if anyone else had gone in to look at the books at places like USAID and other departments before now. No one else did it, Elon is competent and if he ensures the other 99,999 of grifters are off the books that were bankrupting him, and he gains in some way that's still a huge win. It wouldn't bother me if him and Trump received some form of financial reward, if they clean up this mess for us. It has to be stopped going forward at all costs and no one else did anything for decades while the country went bankrupt.

One thing I've learned in life, never let perfect become the enemy of better. Support Trump, support Musk, even if both men are imperfect.
Strong disagree here. I've been trying to learn Zig, and I'm thwarted enough by chatgpt giving me outdated information on Zig's unstable API that if I didn't have a strong incentive to learn it for it's cross compiler, I'd likely turn my efforts towards another language. This effect can greatly alter the adoption curve of a new tech, which can leave it dying on the vine.

You're not wrong though, in that Stack Overflow has the exact same problem. The main difference is that with Stack Overflow, there was a bonus in becoming the first expert on the platform, so while it does stifle new tech adoption, it at least encourages new tech content creation, which in turn encourages new tech. Though, I don't know if it's a net positive or negative in aggregate.

I think this problem will likely lessen as training becomes cheaper and faster. But right now, there is really strong incentives to avoid any tech that has had breaking changes in the last 3 years.

Fixing it cleanly seems like it might need a new AtomicPtrAndU64 or the ability to have an atomic 128-bit struct, and I have no idea whether the latter is even conceptually compatible with miri.
> and they aren’t

This is an incredibly sweeping generalization. There are a lot of people who voted for Trump because of their perception of his merit/qualifications/plans vs Harris. Pretending they are all brainwashed simpletons not only alienates them but also sets up for future failures. There's a reason these people voted for him. What is that reason? Treating is as some temporary hysteria is just going to keep getting people like Trump (or worse) elected over and over.
Found a bug - if you click on a language, then go back and click on another language, it still shows that you are learning the first one.

Great idea though, good luck.
> being a rich white man [...] don’t work to prove your point because duh they aren’t related to math.

Historically, being a rich white man is related to math:

- elite European men historically had better access to education
- many famous mathematicians came from wealthy backgrounds
- historical math societies were almost entirely composed of rich white men
- math advanced in navigation, trade and military which were historically occupied by men
- when circumstance didn't, rich white men historically excluded women and colored people
We dunk on Electron too, don't worry.
Yes, because no one is going to spend the money to add another 30-60 cameras to the NBA broadcast platform to cater to fewer than 100K Vision Pro users. Even Quest's 10M actives doesn't come close to warranting that kind of financial outlay.
For a while at least HFC was able to pay a lot of money to some really smart people to do some really weird high performance computing projects. Sure to the industry the amount of money they has wasn't even a peanut, but to a normal person on the street it was still a lot of money, and even to the financial industry it was still worth (for a while) paying high salaries to the very best for that fraction of a peanut.
And you think nobody (professional hackers?) can put together a "virtual TPM" that falsifies real hardware info? I think there are much simpler solutions, but the big tech wants to retain the control.
Who is the "they" you're talking about? Assuming you mean "the establishment executive branch agencies", it's not like you're getting that answer from Trump and Musk either.

We have no idea what they're actually cutting, whether that $100M would have gone to something genuinely useful, or if it was going to some wasteful project.

Well, we do sorta find out, when we hear about a single mother being unable to provide food for her children because she's capriciously and arbitrarily lost her SNAP benefits.

DOGE is a train wreck, and like in any train wreck, a lot of innocent people get hurt, and no one knows what's going on in the midst of the chaos.
Likewise. I have no reason at all to "upgrade" to windows 11 even though my current hardware supports it.
I read on a thread from our favorite LLM training dataset that Alaska ha(s/d) a special edition with block heater, lift kit, tires, and badging. There was also an Arkansas edition supposedly. I think it probably had all the knobs and buttons in primary colors with flash cards for their illiterati's. (I have kin in Arkansas so maybe just joking, but probably not really). I'm pretty sure I have seen a Wyoming edition RAM or something taking advantage of their incorrect state nickname as the "Cowboy State". Having spent a good bit of time in Wyoming I can assure you there are probably more sheep than in any other state though, being from Texas, I did have to listen to the steers and queers quip way back then until I reminded the teller that he was a sheepherder and not a real cowboy.

Dude, you just linked to an unofficial fake site designed to trick excited visitors into buying a cryptocoin without looking at the fine print [0], and its "data" is all stuff that has been public for years.

While I agree that the task of figuring out where the real site is (let alone good+real data from it) is much harder than it ought to be... isn't that itself just another data-point? It indicates the whole thing [1] is being managed in a kind of unprofessional chaotic stupidity.

Back in 1999 I was 19 years old and started my first job at Ericsson. I liked tinkering with stuff, both hardware and software so that's what I did.

After a while they gave me the title "software developer" and put me with this senior guy who became my mentor.

He taught me a lot of stuff and he loved to use Delphi for everything.
> the waste is going to collapse the country

What waste exactly? How do you know it's bad or will collapse the economy?

It might be real, but noting concrete is being pointed out. The attempts to do so have been outright lies, like the $50 million for condoms in Gaza. So far, "waste" is a boogieman used to justify purging suspected liberals from the federal workforce and contractor pool.
On top of that, he'd be super popular as a target for anything because tons of folks, including non-technical, know the name "Mitnick" very well.
I’d jump ship if there was a mature, stable competitor in the Typescript ecosystem.

Unfortunately I think language differences mean it’s going to be a long time before anyone catches up. Ruby just makes for some really interesting wizardry that as far as I can tell isn’t possible (or perhaps not as ergonomic?) in Typescript.

Furthermore there seems to be a cultural difference. I haven’t met many JS devs who came to the Ruby side and were like, “Aw shit this is better.” (I’m one such dev, but I hated Ruby and Rails for a really long time before I changed my opinion and embraced it.)

But at this point in my career I value stable boring technology way more than my personal taste du-jour so I code in Ruby and really love Rails.
Visualize Ownership and Lifetimes in Rust
I haven't taken any position, I'm only pointing out the parallels of the argument you're making to mistakes us humans have made in the past, that we don't want to make again.

But if you want me to make an assertion, I'll go with:

We're all on this blue marble together; Us vs Them is a negative sum game we don't want to play. ICE has earned the reputation they have, and until they do something that changes them from "dog murderers" and "targeting the wrong people", we shouldn't afford them any sympathy or excuses. ICE the organization might not directly be able to alter the laws they're given, but they can directly influence them, and change the way we talk about it. Individual ICE agents, likewise also can't change the laws they enforce, but they can change how they enforce them. They can spend more time doing what's right, instead of doing what's easy. They can take things a bit slower instead of murdering important family members, or making children afraid of what's going to happen to them.

>DEI is toxic because it ignores most sources of inequality and favors a few groups

Not sure what "most sources of inequality" is supposed to mean. In any case, DEI is not intended to address every "source of inequality". By definition:

"DEI are organizational frameworks that seek to promote the fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups who have historically been underrepresented or subject to discrimination based on identity or disability."

So, it is specifically intended to address historical targets of underrepresentation and discrimination.

>...of particular political importance to Democrats

The corollary is that anti-DEI favors a single group of particular importance to Republicans. Anti-DEI was a thing before there was DEI. That's the point of DEI. It's a response.

>sometimes DEI even favors groups who are on the advantaged side of inequality... nearly 60% of students.

It's easy to pick a statistic that we like. But, of course, this single stat is not dispositive of anything.
I don't think the screw is biting into any material. You can see the screw drop pretty far into the hole. Keep in mind it isn't counter-sinking the hold at all. I think he's driving the screw into the substrate and setting it deep enough that it looks countersunk and isn't loose.
Anything that affects the DOM and relies on TextNodes behaving predictably. It could be as simple as `e.target` of a click event being different (the `font` element gets in between what was actually clicked), but the main issues are when apps try to update or replace what used to be TextNodes.

Imagine you're building a framework, and a consumer renders a clock. The only thing that changes every tick, is the text value; `00:00` becomes `00:01`. In an attempt to be as efficient as possible, it's only natural for the framework builder to decide to keep a reference to the `TextNode` and only update its `textContent` every frame. This scales the best for even the most complicated app, but it leads to interference from Google Translate as the article shows.
I've a design in mind which is very simple and interesting but don't know if it would be scalable to the stage, rn it's just a superficial design inspired by IronMan's JARVIS, i'm working on preparing the architecture.
HUD is Housing and urban development. So probably something to do with building low income housing and other kinds of city planning.

I saw low income becsuse 100m is pennies for housing. You'll probably get a few neighborhoods if it's brand new housing.

For me it’s still to feel under control. And the fact that I don‘t want to inject it into every workflow. I‘m open to AI and use it daily. But my terms may be different then others. I want to control what I share and how. People have secrets and other things in a project. I sometimes rename things because the AI should only deal with the big picture. Paint me paranoid but that’s how it is for me.
I can do that, it's just having a mental image of the room and building I'm in, as well as the surrounding landscape, sky, and where the sun rises and sets. Even if I have to pass through a bunch of twisting corridors, there's just a mental arrow in my head that's always being updated in the background when I turn.
DOGE is a complete farce, but I think there's an important to not just write this off as a stage show and the people buying into it as idiots. There are a lot of people who feel that government isn't working for them and so when they see things like "8 million dollars spent on condoms for Palestinians" they're already primed to get angry about it. Musk/DOGE's actions may all be for spectacle, but he's tapping into some very real emotions that he wouldn't be able to tap into if people felt the government was working for them. DOGE is a symptom of a larger problem. Even if Musk and DOGE are completely discredited, if we don't figure out a way to make it so the average citizen feels like they're getting their money's worth from the government, it's just a matter of time until someone else steps in to exploit that feeling for their own gain.

That's quite wrong—pg, rtm, and tlb came out of the MIT/Cambridge hacker scene and used the word the same way everybody else there did.

You’re describing targeted tax breaks and incentives as industrial development policy, which can work. I’m talking about broad tax cuts for the rich, including those in areas that do not have such problems.

These tax cuts are apparently to be paid for by deficit spending, which is insane. There is no way you could cut enough from the US budget to pay for them without winding down the entire US military and cutting things like Medicare and social security that people have paid into their entire lives. That’s wrong, and will cause riots.
Of course you are right. Craning your neck to swing your head back and forth following the action with 1.5 pounds of goggles cantilevered off your face, for the full game or even parts of it, is going to be very challenging.

Whilst the pendulum seems well on its way to be swinging from microservices back to monoliths, I'm thinking we'll end up in a place that limits the volume and complexity of the code in a single service so that it's just large enough to encompass a point of single responsibility.

Then we can easily drop in and out of using LLMs in the code space.

Service Oriented Architecture lends itself well to the limited context of these models.

Maybe we can revive literate programming and simply build everything from a single markdown document..

I hate that popular domains take ownership of highly generic words. Many years ago, I struggled for a while to understand that when people say "frontend" they often mean a website frontend, even without any further context.
There are plenty of IoT devices that people want to execute commands on (anything remotely controlled, basically). Polling for commands on a periodic basis introduces lag into that process which is irritating. Furthermore, polling at a frequent interval can end up using a lot of power as well versus waiting in a receive-only mode for an incoming command.

Can we at least agree that NGOs like Chelsea Clinton's Difficult to Verify Third World Orphan Feeding Service should be audited?

The argument from the right, which I have not seen anyone on the left address directly, is that a very large portion of government spending is laundered to well connected people by way of contracts to NGOs and other kinds of organizations where there is little or no verification that the money is actually being used as claimed. Often tax filings reveal that by its own admission, the organization in question is spending nearly all the money on overhead like travel and administration. Combine this with the fact that so many people go into government jobs with modest salaries but come out being worth 10s of millions of dollars and I have a hard time believing that anything but a wrecking ball is going to fix the system.

We are adding trillions to the national debt every year so we don't have money to waste.

Many politicians go into office promising reforms but until very recently it was always just slight nibbling around the edges, if anything.
Uh, that's not a government website, and even if it were, clicking around shows vague numbers associated with vague categories. There's no useful information here. There's no transparency here.
Right, I guess that’s my point: If Typst wants to compete with LaTeX, IMO it needs some sort of mechanism by which journals will deem a Typst submission acceptable, along with readily available templates for said submissions. That’s a big hill to climb probably, but probably the single most valuable development they could achieve from a product diffusion perspective.

this would all make an inch of sense if they actually cared about what is bankrupting the country. of course they are not in any way, going after USAID is just entertainment for the gullible (won’t use worse adjectives here…) people eating this shit up. not to mention going after CFPB which costs $800m to run while bringing in $15bn in return.

if they really cared about this and were not in the entertainment business while stealing every penny they can they would start at the Department of Offense :)
They can shift priorities as needed as long as they understand that the trade off is going to be not getting something else done.

I was the second technical hire by the then new CTO of a startup I worked for from 2018-2020. He was hired to bring the development in house from a third party consulting company after the company had traction. He was in his 50s and very technical and I was in my mid 40s. The founders were also adults with families. None of us were young tech bros who put the job before everything else.

I was over the architecture and much of the technical strategy. I knew how to talk to them in terms of the business and they trusted my judgment.

> You mentioned setting a ceiling on your work hours—how do you enforce that when leadership keeps shifting priorities?

Just saying “no” especially after I had proven myself. I knew they weren’t going to fire me as long as I was respectful and professional because I was good at what I did - “cloud native development”. They were forced to make a decision about priorities.

Honestly, would I do that now in 2025 with the job market the way it is? I wish I could say I would. But I would probably just suck it up to a point. But most of the time, you can get them to prioritize.

I left that company in 2020 when a job at BigTech fell into my lap. But in 2023, the company that acquired the startup offered me a job as a staff architect based on a reference. When I spoke to the new CTO and described my thought process about trade offs between on time, on budget and meeting requirements and prioritization without burning people out, he liked my response

I've been looking all through here for someone to finally make this most obvious point.

Even for those of us who use mostly stack overflow/google, it's much cheaper to wait on someone else to run into your problem and document the solution than to be first into the fire. We've relied on this strategy for a couple of decades now.

I don't think the OP has demonstrated that adoption rates for new tech have changed in any way since AI.

> Also, popular frameworks usually have better code, because they have years of bug-fixes from being tested on many production servers, and the API has been tailored from real-world experience.

Overall I am very resistant to the idea that popular==good. I'd say popular==more popular. Also I think there's often a point where feeping creaturism results in tools that are overcomplicated, prone to security bugs and no longer easy to use.
