The government is clearly being weaponized against anyone who has ever opposed Trump in any way. You are in a reality tunnel.
Java was, as Gosling says in the first Java white paper, designed for average programmers.

Java classes and types are strict and "save" enough that it make it possible to put straight jacked to coder, but loose enough that they can make it compile. You can't do that with C++, Python because they are too loose and you can't do it with Rust or strict functional programming language because vibe programmer can't make the code compile.

It's perfect when you have software architect who does the intelligent work and code monkeys who fill the blanks.
How does economics bend over backwards to hide the “fundamental theorem”?

Every intro to macroeconomics basically starts with a simplified conceptualisation of production as a function of labour and capital. Then it describes returns to labor and capital and so on. People who own capital get paid for that capital. It’s quite literally Economics 101.

It's undoubtedly a terrible thing to cut off funding for these commitments, but... the article makes it sound like DOOM is the forgone conclusion. We're talking about half a billion a year, the US is hardly the only entity on Earth capable of filling that gap. Why can't the EU step up a bit? Hell, why not BRICS if it comes to that?

There's this sense that "only the US" can do it, when the reality seems to be that only the US was ever willing to do it, and without that willingness everyone is cooked.
Rails is a great framework, always has been. Rails performance is totally fine for most normal applications.

I find it disingenuous to call this out as "public LLM training data". It was found in common crawl (which is a great source for all kinds of publicly crawled data) but the REAL problem here of course is poor credential management by the actual websites. Maybe instead of trying to shift the blame to LLM training data, talk more about the poor state of good security practices in general?

I mean yes you can probably find these back with a discussion with an LLM but you know what is even simpler? Just download the raw data from Common Crawl and run a credential matcher on it ...
So why do we discuss genes if we actually mean heritable traits? Scientists should probably take the lead in abandoning "gene" as a generally useful concept outside of their field.

It is the consensus view of the foreign establishment. You can argue for an isolationist foreign policy. We do have a "big beautiful ocean" separating us from the problems of the world. But global powers have a way of competing with each other on a global scale. I'm partial to arguments against global empire because the metropole tends to become just another territory to administer (a kind of home colony). You can see this especially in Britain today. The problems of immigration and border controls at home are hard to separate from foreign policy. Look at a country with extreme border controls like North Korea and see they still need allies to survive. Hence North Korean soldiers dying on the battlefields of Ukraine.

If you want to argue for a renewed commitment to the Monroe Doctrine, I'm with you. Heck, I'm even there for Manifest Destiny (Canada as the 51st state, as Benjamin Franklin would have had it). But the downsides of a multipolar world are legitimate. Ideally we can maintain our global dominance without oppressing/degrading our own and allied populations.

Favorite boring tech of late is ASP.NET w/ Blazor server-side rendering. .NET Core runtime has great performance, really nice DX, EF Core is arguably up there with ActiveRecord for persistence frameworks, and everything seems to hold together quite well. I really appreciate that the designers of ASP.NET have zero qualms just copying things they like from other frameworks wholesale. You have the pervasive DI that Spring has, Rails-style convention over configuration, and Blazor components are very similar to JS components. Auth is a first-party module that is reasonable to integrate.

The farther away I get from the JS ecosystem, the more fun webdev becomes for me.

Then I erect the previous system, or some variant, and go with that until some inevitable breakage sends me back to paper. So it goes...
This is messed up... The guy took his github down now... This witch hunt against doge is just so incredibly unnerving... all public information, obviously using cursor to write basic scripts(i.g. //insert your script here, and inline comments describing basic code) and posting it on his github for future use, sharing, and boosting his 'hireability'. He seems to be rapid fire coding and sharing what he can... he had 35 repo's last time i checked.

He also wasn't the only doge team member who seems to be doing it, hopefully they don't all stop posting their code because of this...
CEOs are employees too. They don't own the company, they work for the shareholders. While on one hand that's the social justification for firing them at-will, it also means (to me at least) that they should be subject to normal HR processes that involve some rights for them. That's not special to CEOs, it should be universal to any worker.

If someone steadfastly refuses to stop bringing hate to work, or if they do something physically violent or verbally abusive, you have to fire them, but if they deviate only a little bit, they deserve to face pressure and criticism before getting kicked out - or maybe even a chance to defend themselves, or come to terms with the other side.
People easily overlook the most important part to me of playing vinyl, and get distracted by the "it sounds better" conversation. To me, it is the physicalness of holding the vinyl, watching/reading the grooves, setting the needle, lifting the needle, rinse/repeat for each track you want to listen (assuming using singles). There's much more satisfaction when you're actively doing things to keep the music playing (even if not a DJing) rather than clicking some infinite stream where you just tune out of even paying attention to the music. Playing vinyl forces your attention. That's when you start to become a real music nerd type by learning which cut of the release a song was on, which side of the vinyl, etc.

That might not be what most people care about, and that's fine. They have infinite streaming available for those that just need background noise. But to write vinyl off as a gear acquisition syndrome just screams to me someone doesn't really get it and wants to find a way to mock someone else

I've not found one either. I did this at a very large scale recently and ended up just using pdfplumber. I did POC Table Transformer but the cost was too high at my scale--there are probably better options now anyway. Most seem to focus on structure detection and then use traditional OCR for the actual content extraction.

It's a very hard space in the long tail, like tables that span pages or tables with complex internal structures. I went into it thinking "eh how hard can tables be?". Very hard. Thankfully it's a pretty active research area.

This doesn’t make sense to me. It seems like overreach. Why would fictional pornographic depictions or whatever be illegal? That’s just free speech, with “no real victim” as they admitted.

Until the children of the have nots outnumber the children of the haves and kill them and take their stuff by force. That was also human nature in the past.

That's why we have wealth taxes to even the playing field and encourage children of the have-nots to putting their effort in work and contributing in the system instead of on way to murdering the children of the haves for their stuff.

It's sort of protection tax the wealthy have to pay to live in a safe society that benefits them since their wealth comes from the work of the poor.

EU is a lot looser union of sovereign nations than USA, where the states are federal. California or Texas do not have their separate foreign policies; France and Germany do.

.mjs typically designates newer ECMAScript modules, contrasted with .js for older CommonJS.
It's funny, I just wrote the same thing. Everyone's sleeping on ASP.NET because it is MS or not connected to JS. It is very, very underrated.
I strongly and emphatically disagree on every point (I don't even know what your statement about runtime state and code even means actually, it just seems like a category error, but how do you even write code without being able to reason about runtime state? It just makes no sense.), but I understand there are people who love their debugger and I respect them.

Basically the only time I pop open the debugger is when it's otherwise difficult to see runtime behavior—say, a certain condition in a server for which you can't easily access logs. Outside of that it feels like major overhead and distraction from getting the bug fixed. Plus iterating without print statements is a tedious, tedious affair.

Don't get me wrong, it's a critical and necessary skill that junior devs often struggle to understand and master. I just think over reliance on the debugger will slow your velocity over time when most bugs have straightforward causes easiest to see by simply reading the code (which you'll have to do anyway with a debugger). I can't tell you how many times I've had to tell devs to put away their tools so we can calmly analyze the code without flipping back and forth between views. The vast majority of the time it's the second pair of eyes that resolves the problem.
Each update from Mozilla about this issue has Mozilla claiming users are confused (which may be true; I don't follow the larger social media ecosystem), then doubling down on the part I'm personally concerned about.

I'm worried that Mozilla is asserting it needs a license for the information input into Firefox for Firefox to do it's job, since that's factually untrue. So either Mozilla is genuinely confused about this point, which I find unlikely, or they have some ulterior motive. I can't say with any confidence what the ulterior motive is, but I can be pretty sure there is one, and that worries me about the future of the browser landscape.

My hot take on this is that Zelensky knew going in that Trump was never going to back him after the secret Russian peace talks. So he went in hard looking for the live fight they had in order to wake up European leaders for additional support.

> RedwoodJS seems like the best attempt at a Rails in JavaScript these days, worth a look.

It's telling to me that Redwood/Adonis haven't really seen huge uptake. I feel like the JS ecosystem moves pretty slowly on a conceptual level overall. Backend dev is still heavily associated with express.js when that's seen as a minimal framework in other ecosystems.

> Name calling and vindictive personal attacks aren't decreasing the deficit

The GOP budget blows out our deficit by an additional $2 trillion over the next ten years. This government doesn’t actually care about the deficit.

DOGE is some combination of a loyalty purge, giving Musk keep-busy work, a distraction from Trump’s tax increases & proposed deficit spending and propaganda.

> what problems are being solved with vindictive, spiteful namecalling?

Piss people off. Particularly in the centre. The far right has been ignoring norms and now the law. We need the centre enraged enough to break at least norms and conventions to go after these folks. I’m personally interested in the state laws the DOGE bros may be breaking.
The whole thing's a mess information wise. I mean the reality is complicated enough plus there are loads of false versions of everything. But it still remains that the 2022 invasion was on Putin's orders and the killing could stop tomorrow if he said to stop it.

Common Crawl could implement what GitHub does; when a secret is detected, report it to the issuer and invalidate it.

This encourages improved credentials management, as your (or your application’s) access will be revoked as soon as it’s detected and shipped for invalidation.

If someone from Common Crawl sees this and is interested, I would be willing to discuss a directed donation to the 501c3 to implement this functionality (as it appears there is a lot of leverage to be had wrt global security posture with such an implementation).

An excellent argument for physical artifacts. I take an archivist’s point of view and digitize my photos and music for convenience then store the original for long term stable preservation. But I keep everything locally, unlike my kids who seem content to rely on an unchanging world where everything will be around forever.

A few years ago, I realized that the use case for CDs no longer held. Vinyl will persist for experience seekers, lossy audio (MP3 et al) for convenience seekers including streaming, but the audiophiles are now being served by FLAC downloads, which can exceed CD quality. If you poke around bandcamp you’ll find many labels selling vinyl with associated 24bit/96k FLAC downloads tossed in as part of the deal.
NestJS is probably the closest thing to a Rails-like framework in JS. Also Platformatic by the creator of Fastify.

Still, the dependency entanglement in JS is just crazy. This is the dependency graph of Platformatic:

https://npmgraph.js.org/?q=platformatic#zoom=h

AFAIK there's no JS framework that solved the whole thing and doesn't depend on other packages.

I don't know why JS devs historically have an aversion to frameworks. Maybe the author of the article is right and this is caused by preventing heavy bloated JS apps in the browser.

In any case, after 10 years of Node in the backend, I'm done with it.
The OP is not. He’s calling someone working on a project, posting his code to GitHub names.

I'm not a surgeon myself, but when I was in medical school the program director of our local general surgery residency told me that in terms of hand skills 90% of surgeons are more or less average, 10% are masters, and 10% are horrific.

> to allow/expect devs to add unit tests

For me such gigs are a red flag and immediate turn down (I'm freelancer with enough opportunities, luxury position, I know).

I would consider it really weird if management dictates exactly what tools and steps a carpenter must take to repair a chair. Or when the owner of a hotel tells the chef what steps are allowed when preparing fish. We trust the carpenter or chef to know this best. To know best how to employ their skills given the context.

If management doesn't trust the experts they hire to make the right choice in how they work, what tools they use, what steps they take, etc. that's a red flag: either they are hiring the wrong people (and the micromanaging is an attempt to fix that) or they don't think the experts are expert enough to make decisions on their own.

For me, this goes for tools (e.g. management dictates I must work on their windows machine with their IDE and other software) for processes (management forbids tests, or requires certain rituals around merges etc) and for internals (management forbidding or requiring certain abstractions, design patterns etc)

To be clear: a team, through, or via a management, should have common values and structures and such. And it makes perfect sense for management to define the context (e.g. this is a proof of concept, no need for the rigid quality here. Or we must get these features out of the door before thursday, nothing else matters.) It's when the management dictates how teams or experts must achieve this that it becomes a red flag to me.

I haven't been wrong in this. These red-flags almost always turned out to hint at underlying, deeply rooted cultural problems that caused all the technical troubles.
That sounds like you should find a more constructive way to deal with whatever’s going on in your life than cheering on others being traumatized. The Republicans can purge everyone who tried to serve the country and it won’t make anything one iota better for you.

I am posting this comment anonymously because I don't think it's safe to publish my comment any more considering my situation. I am a Chinese living in north America now.

Considering that Trump is elected by American people, when I refer to Trump below I am referring to American people.

Trump has destroyed the rule based world and pushing the world to a more primeval one, like the one before world war 2. This will have long term consequences. This is a world where China and China Communist Party will adapt better than the US. If both sides play without allies, US is probably not an opponent of China. We should be able to see this play out in the next decades. China may not take over the US but the playground should be levelled faster than expected, and China does have another decades to play, there are still tens of millions Chinese entering adult age each year, and many of them are engineers.
