It's trivial using a number of approaches, eg. a simple bash or python script. But I think there's still a fair amount of value in building a common tool for these sorts of things. Everyone that builds their own one off solution will inevitably encounter more and more of the edge cases (oh I need to honor .gitignore... oh, I need to be able to override .gitignore and include some ignored things... oh I need to deal with huge files... etc) and with a common tool the tool can collect the ways of dealing with all of these edge cases.

Now no one will need something that can handle all of the edge cases, but whatever edge cases they need to be handled will already be handled. The overall time and frustration saved this way can be huge.
I strongly disagree. I'd expect it to me much larger by now, at least, based on my expectations and not my experience.

And once you clear the small-community languages out of the "stable" list I think it's underpopulated there as well; it's basically just .Net, .Net through C#, and .Net through F# (which I'm sure is more the .Net than the F#, no offense intended to the F# team). Way, way more of the languages I can name off the top of my head in "unstable" than I'd expect.

And while I don't intend this to be offensive to anyone either, WASM is just generally moving way slower than I expect. Given how many years that has been true at this point I must conclude it is being quite underinvested in, or, to put it another way, I'm blaming Google and peers for underinvesting, not the people working on it. More power to the people working on it, their skill is evident.
Some people want a leaner government, but they also want that achieved with care and thoughtfulness by domain experts. Chesterton's fence comes to mind.
People are saying that Meta's motivation is to avoid unemployment payments, etc.

In the U.S., an employer pays a small tax/fee to the state labor department, which administers unemployment. The employer's fee is calculated like an insurance premium, so every terminated employee who claims unemployment increases the employer's costs by a little bit. A single terminated employee will increase a large company's UI fee the next year by less than a dollar, because the fee is based on unemployment benefits, not the employee's salary (so having super-highly paid employees doesn't make a difference). Terminated employees qualify for unemployment unless they are terminated for-cause, meaning a violation of the law, employment agreement, or employee handbook. Termination for low performance is not "for cause" in any state, and employer who claims such is committing labor fraud for which the minimum fine per violation is in the thousands of tens of thousands (depending on the state)...on top of exposing themselves to significant legal liability to the terminated employee (back pay plus additional damages for any financial harm suffered from the employee's loss of access to unemployment. TLDR: in the context of unemployment expenses, the risk-adjusted benefit of mislabeling an employee's cause for termination is not worth it.

Also important, "low performance" is not an excuse to violate the WARN Act; any mass termination of employees (excluding those terminated for cause) that satisfies the threshold will trigger WARN ACT responsibilities (meaning, 60 days notice or 60 days' pay to waive notice). A number of states also have their own versions of the WARN Act which might impose additional responsibilities on the employer. The penalty for violating the WARN Act is up to 60 days pay and benefits, with interest; some states have additional penalties on top of that, such as a $500 fine/day/location for the notice-failure period.

So Meta's not laying people off and calling them "low performers" to minimize their unemployment costs because it won't.

As others have pointed out in other threads, most of the employees laid off were involved in diversity efforts in some manner, and now that Zuckerberg has gone far-right and embraced Trump, he's laying these employees off and calling them "low performing" to curry favor with his new billionaire buddy (look at the language Trump uses when he fires someone).

It's unlikely that Meta is trying to replace the terminated employees with cheaper H1Bs because part of the GOP's Project 2025 plan is to eliminate the H1B program entirely.
No my career advice is to focus on moving closer to the customer or stakeholders, don’t be a “ticket taker” and work on projects that show “scope”, “impact” and “dealing with ambiguity”,

The other half is live below your means, invest and have a 9-12 month cash cushion.

I've never used Delphi, but I had a manager who had worked with it in a previous job, and he utterly hated it. It was kind of funny, because just mentioning it could get him started complaining about it for a good three minutes. It never looked that bad to me, but of course a quick glance on the Wikipedia page isn't equivalent to maintaining a large codebase.

This manager was also a big advocate for the ColdFusion language, so take that for what it is, but I think his ranting about it has made it so I never tried it (or any of its derivatives).
It's what they voted for. Maybe they'll pay a little more attention next time.
Also interestingly, Chrome began supporting pagination recently[0] which until now required something like pagedjs. I wonder to what extent Typst's (or TeX's) layout model can map onto CSS now. I would assume concepts like widow and orphan prevention are not implemented but I haven't looked into it.

That doesn't track with me. The React application is the website. It should be able to run while expecting some other third party thing isn't going to dig into the internals of its view and modify those internals.

It would be fine if Translate was just modifying text, but changing the actual structure of the HTML goes too far.
What’s wrong in what he said? If you are running a company and no one is paying attention in meetings or giving their best majority of the time, he has the right to call it out. After all are drawing a salary, right? You need to earn you pay
This is /s, right?

First- Many of the cuts haven't been legally conducted and, rather, represent waste themselves as they are going to disrupt activities and create litigation. So we, the people, will pay at least as much and have less productive results and have to pay for legal fees.

Second- Federal contracts are usually bid on the free market. There's an RFP, bidders, and the best fit wins. It's usually lowest cost while meeting requirements. I'm not sure why selling to the government is not a "real customer."

Third- It's reductive and inflammatory to say that not detailing out the contracts were for was because you would have seen it as wasteful corrupt spending. How would the prior commenter have even known what you see as wasteful and corrupt?

That's only part of the problem. Complexity and expectations have exploded in the last decade, while investment is getting tighter and tighter (for the average corporation anyway, not necessarily the big boys).

The constant frameworks churn is one attempt at solving the complexity problem. Unfortunately I don't think it's working.
You agreed with your peering partners what to send.

Oddly for me, radio has been the most immersive media for live sports. Maybe because it is forced to prioritize audio…humans dance to sound not pictures.

Not to say I seek out radio or that 3d doesn’t seem cool. Only that the effects of sound penetrate me in a way that visual stimulus doesn’t.

I loved Delphi (used it from 1.0 to 4.0), and wrote some quite major stuff in it. The ease of writing components that you could drag and drop into an app (not just visual ones) was phenomenal. It could have been a VB killer, except that it was based on Pascal, possibly my least favourite programming language ever, not that VB is my favourite.

Out of curiosity, are you referring to MicroOS? I know they're written some container tools like catatonit but I haven't heard of nano.
Did you read the article? It makes valid points that your comment doesn't address. It isn't a brainless "AI is making us stupider" post.
While you can call it Nazi values, Britain didn't decriminalize male homosexual acts until 1967 (and even then with a higher age of consent, and other limits, compared to heterosexual acts), France decriminalized even later in 1982, and while some US states did earlier, the last didn't until their sodomy laws were invalidated by the Supreme Court in 2003. And the Soviet Union used fighting fascism as an excuse for its recriminalization of male homosexuality in 1933, which it retained until it fell.

So, I mean, the states that occupied Germany after the Nazis fell were all subscribers to “Nazi values” on this point.
Nope, because the standard is not "Everybody knows it's wrong to do that", the standard is "A previous case exists where an officer did EXACTLY THE SAME THINGS in EXACTLY THE SAME SCENARIO that established that officer CLEARLY VIOLATED THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS"

For us mere mortals to be punished, we don't even have to know the law. For a cop to be punished, there has to be precedent. The funny part is that this situation basically means the first cop to do any illegal act will always get away with it.
Love the site design. Excited to try it out.

The amount of money and effort required to extradite a person far outweighs the average student loan. Not only that, it is not really a "crime" to not pay your debts. It is a civil violation. The court can seize your property, in limits. You can't seize someones house in some states, and some don't even allow you to seize cars. Even if they can, any given student loan holder may not have either.

My concern with these tax cuts is that they won’t stimulate the economy because they’re too biased toward people who won’t spend the money. A large tax cut on lower and middle classes would stimulate the economy since the money would be spent.
I, too, would like the reference.

However I can tell you that this kind of thing really does happen. One of the injection molding conferences I attended had several presentations where companies were contemplating building more injection molding lines, but instead hired consultants (of course rolls eyes) to re-optimize their injection mold programs. After tweaking all the parameters in to speed up injection rates, it turned out the company had about 50% more capacity than they thought.

Now, I suspect this was shit management more than anything. I strongly suspect that the people on the line told their superiors that they needed to fix the programs and got ignored.

However, you couldn't sell anything to the management chain until they were staring at having to spend cash. Selling people on "saving money" is always super difficult as it requires them to change something that is nominally "working". Selling people on "not having to spend money they are staring at imminently" is always way easier. Obviously the easiest sell is "spend money to make a lot more money", but that doesn't happen all that often.
Yes. If you have a working system built on 10 years old web framework, it's considered obsolete and in need of being upgraded/rewritten. Why? Imagine houses needing to be rebuild because its foundation is 10 years old.
Where do these ‘prodigies’ end up? Other than parlor tricks, what do they even offer to humanity as a whole? Similar to ‘beauty queens’ answering ‘they will eradicate poverty or hunger’ from the world.
I don't envy whoever has to wrangle all the random licensing contracts major sports networks have. My partner is big into fantasy and she's got players on all sorts of random teams and wanted to watch the game so I looked into it.

NFL: no.
I disagree. The browser is a VM that runs other applications, in this case one that's written in React.

Then the browser, via an extension, is corrupting that application's internal state and is then surprised when that application stops working correctly. Well, duh.

If Translate were to only modify the text on the website, I'd think React would be able to deal with it better. But it seems to be modifying the structure too (adding <font> tags); I think it's not reasonable to expect every JS framework to be able to deal with that properly.
> Basically, users are having a tougher time finding accurate info about your product (even if the correct answer to their query is in Google's own search results).

That's a gigantic "even if".

In my experience, I'm able to find stuff much easier with LLM's that Google search couldn't surface.

If I'm looking for a product that does exactly X, Y but doesn't Z, keyword search can be pretty terrible. LLM's actually understand what I'm looking for, and have a much higher probability of pointing me to it.
Ah, this is great feedback -- I don't think we do enough to articulate how much we're doing beyond that simplified explanation of device fingerprinting on those docs. I'll get that page updated, but 2 main things worth mentioning:

1. We have a few proprietary fingerprint methods that we don't publicly list (but do share with our customers under NDA), which feed into our ML-based browser detection that assesses those fingerprint data points against the entire historical archives of every browser version that has been released, which allows us to discern subtle deception indicators. Even sophisticated attackers find it difficult to figure out what we're fingerprinting on here, which is one reason we don't publicly document it.

2. For a manual attacker running attacks within a legitimate browser, our Intelligent Rate Limiting (IntRL) tracks and rate-limits at the device level, making it effective against attackers using a real browser on their own machine. Unlike traditional rate limiting that relies on brute traits like IP, IntRL uses the combo of browser, hardware, and network fingerprints to detect repeat offenders—even if they clear cookies or switch networks. This ensures that even human-operated, low-frequency attacks get flagged over time, without blocking legitimate users on shared networks.

That sounds pretty arbitrary. Upon what grounds do you feel it's appropriate to say that the DOM is only allowed to be used in the way you describe?
I believe you misunderstood me. I did not mean to imply that American people are somehow born with democracy in their genes (figuratively, of course), if that's what you thought I meant.

Sadly, I have a non-pleasure of being quite familiar with what happened in Russia in the last few decades. And despite my limited knowledge of the US' political system (that I'm still learning about - it's not a small topic) one thing that I'm very certain that some things that worked in Russia are simply impossible in the US, at least in the way they happened. Let me show you:

Putin formed a new KGB (FSB), taking over a decade to slowly grant it more and more powers. He also suppressed the independent media, events including literal police raids of the major television company. He grew the low-level bureaucracy (which seems to be exact opposite of what's happening in the US) and because election process in Russia de facto relies on poorly paid government-ran school teachers (afraid of doing anything to not get fired) he got control of the elections. He also used similar principles to put a lot of pressure on the judicial system. Then he grew the police force (all under Federal government control - different design than US) and took his time training them in extreme brutality (including literal torture). He also took full control of both houses of the Federal Assembly to legislate for him, replaced elections for state-level governors with his own assignments, and did a lot to expand Presidential powers even further. And only then, when he was sure he can contain almost anything, he pulled out an illegal (for some reason he did not follow the legal process but rather made a mockery of it) Constitutional amendment to grant himself his current term.

All that said, I hope you can see what I mean when I say that US' situation is somewhat different and things that worked in Russia aren't perfectly applicable. If Trump wants to make himself an American Tsar, he needs to figure his own way to do so, for most Putin's recipes simply won't work for him because all the preconditions are different.

I suspect (though, of course, I cannot be sure of it) that Hungary also has a lot of its own nuances. At the very least, Orban is not a President and is operating in a whole different political system.

When I said that "similar things could work out different" I was not arguing about or suggesting any course of action or inaction. I've merely stated that we shouldn't think it's all over because some things, events and personalities have some resemblance to other and those others ended badly. This is really complex systems we're talking about, and all the context matters. US still has some safeties left.
Interesting. Thanks for the link.

Certainly Trump has normalized certain behavior (like over racism, sexism, ableism, me-first-and-fuck-everyone-else capitalism/Americanism, fascism too though people don't understand it as that) that society looked like it was gradually getting away from over the last 50 years. It's sad to see how quickly all that resurfaces with only a little encouragement.
One of the principles we do our best to follow as we build wasmCloud is the idea of "compatible with, but not dependent upon", and to that end we do in fact integrate very nicely with Kubernetes.

A recent blog post highlighted some of the work we’ve done to provide a Kubernetes Operator for wasmCloud: https://wasmcloud.com/blog/2025-01-09-wasmcloud-operator-bri...

This will provide you an equivalent experience to what you might expect from Kwasm, with the major difference being that you will not need to change the underlying Kubelet in any way while still getting the benefit of being able to deploy WebAssembly components natively on Kubernetes.
Stadiums/arenas are using more and more cameras through out that some very cool/interesting things are coming from it. One of them is a Matrix bullet-time style ability for highlighting plays. The MLB places ads for the TV audience that the people in the stadium do not see. Same for the boards around a football pitch.

There's other tech going on specifically for sports analytics using 8K cameras that analyzes each player to give their sprint speeds, running distances, heatmap of their position on the field, etc.

All of this to say that I don't really think that placing specific cameras in the arena to provide this type of view while keying out the rest of the stadium would be that difficult. Especially if the cameras are in fixed positions where the distances/angles were well known to the court.
I'll grant you that, but I would argue that 'unsafe' is the exception, definitely not the rule. The fact that there's a required keyword sort of gets at what I was driving at.
They've been mature for awhile.

My first smartphone was a $50 LG Android thing in 2012. I used it to watch YouTube, check my email, listening to music, send texts, make calls, and GPS.

I use my current phone, an iPhone 13 Pro Max, to watch YouTube, check my email, listen to music, send texts, make calls, and GPS.

Obviously the newer phone is better, everything is faster, higher resolution screen, much better camera, etc...but it's not like I am doing anything with it that I wasn't doing in 2012 with my cheapy Android.
This looks very cool! Will be testing it out more to improve my Korean.

I think there has to be a balance? Hitler clashed and pushed out Hugenberg (the German media mogul/early Nazi party financier) over his potential policies being "too detrimental to the poor/working class". Hitler then found financing elsewhere (from the banker mentioned in the article). The national appeal was sincere, which I have to imagine is why it gained any traction in the first place.
Not talking about a single system here. The framework has gone through five major versions in that time and my projects usually last a couple months to a couple years.
