One more thing, just in general: Some people are complaining that some languages work better than others. This seems to be a common issue now with the availability of AI (both voice recognition and LLMs): there's a temptation to expand into as many languages as possible, simply because you can.

My advice would be to have languages default to an "alpha" state, and only progress them to "beta" and "1.0" state when they reach certain milestones, as defined by community feedback.
Exactly. If it's a common enough occurrence that most React SPA's are slow and bloated, it may not be the framework's fault, but if changing to a simpler framework makes it better, then it's just a semantic argument
> ... slapping TypeScript on everything—even CSS—which is overkill

Yikes, this framework will never fare well in any decent sized or above project.

Even Typescript is problematic sometimes, as it has several forms of coercion.

I manage 2 large scale production apps using Typescript (Along with the rest of the infrastructure) with a small team.

This simply would not be possible, had I not been guaranteed that things at least type check when reading diffs from PRs.
I guess you include the claims of "Canada is not a legitimate country" and "We will annex you" in the tariff war bracket. Those are the most pointed and serious policies that seem to have hurt the Canada-US relations the most. I think we need to mention them separately, so that it's understood by everyone.
Both Brazil and the US are huge and extremely diverse countries. On both you can see extremes of luxury and poverty. On both you will see violence and police corruption. In the case of the US, it's more heartbreaking because it's a rich country, and you shouldn't see people living on the streets of a place like San Francisco.

There are too many things that "shouldn't" in the US that just are and that is what makes me avoid visiting as often as I once did. The current descent into a quasi-fascist state isn't enticing either.

Brazil, on the other hand, is a poor country with rich pockets (chances are we both grew up in one), and poverty is kind of expected and hard to avoid. At least there (I don't live in Brazil anymore) we see a government dedicated to reducing economic inequality. I hope they succeed.

In the meantime, I guess I'll learn some basic Mandarin and spend more time in China. It's an interesting country that's now opening up to the world and with a lot of new things to be discovered by those who grew up elsewhere.

Not really, it was just the kind of solution that came into my mind when thinking about this kind of problems. I am very bad in keeping track of tasks. From the outside it looks like lazyness, from the inside it's a mixture of "forgetting" and "priorities". Having a feature that lists long overdue tasks at the top, could ease that. You haven't watered your plants for two days? Ok, they can handle that. But what about tire pressure overdue for 12 days - its about time!

Anyways, will try it. Or, which is on my plate for a while now, will build my own app. That's what I do for a living, except: I couldn't find the time to do it because of the other thousand things to do before.
Was surprised to learn there is no kind of even rudimentary manual backup instrumentation. Just 4 dials in a small binnacle might have helped. Seems like a design flaw.
I don't think it's a straw man, there's lots of people who think it might, or under vague impressions that it might. Plenty of less technical people. Because they haven't thought it through.

Yup. The whole setup is built around taking away legal recourse from people so they can be mistreated. It's Guantanamo squared. Also derived from the UK's failed Rwanda scheme (failed because they couldn't bypass the courts enough!), Windrush errors, and the Australian government's use of immigration detention on Nauru.

Sooner or later it's going to happen to someone who's a full US national.

The death tax more or less ended the UK aristocracy, apart from the absolute top echeolon of the very richest and the special case of the Royal family.

e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Cavendish,_11th_Duke_of... "Devonshire inherited the estate but also an inheritance tax bill of £7 million (£303 million in 2023), nearly 80 per cent of the value of the estate. To meet this, the Duke had to sell off many art objects and antiques, including several Rembrandts, Van Dycks and Raffaello Santis, as well as thousands of acres of land"

I honestly can't see what's wrong with using TypeScript anywhere in place of JavaScript. Unless you're making a simple script or a throwaway prototype, then you're pretty much always better off with it. It's invaluable during development and it's compiled away at build time.

Implement Lex Talionis for gross misconduct in public office. Did an official, through gross negligence, cause irreparable harm to innocents? Mete the same harm upon them; then empathy may stop being a weakness.

Why couldn't the interface ask you about your preferences? Because instead, what we have right now are clunky web interface that just cram every choice in the small screen in front of you and letting you understand how they are in fact different and sort out yourself how to make things work.

Of course a conversational interface is useless if it tries to just do the same thing as a web UI, which is why it failed a decade ago when it was trendy, because the tech was nowhere clever enough to make that useful. But today, I'd bet the other way round.

To me it feels there is no plateau and the models are already very useful and impactful.

I believe there is no plateau because there is nothing objectively special or magical about the human mind and it all can and will be eventually solved, one hack at a time.
EU has laws that give back control to users.

But for this to be effective, the browser should be cooperating and working on the user’s behalf to limit tracking. (You know, the whole reason why WWW calls it “user agent” — it should be on the user’s side.)

Unfortunately >90% of browsers use an engine made by the greatest beneficiary of user tracking. Hundreds of billions in future profits might be endangered by giving users actual control. The proverbial fox guarding the hen house.

> It would be so insightful to understand to which degree the technology is subsidized and what the actual value/cost ratio is.

it would be insightful for competitors too, because they could use this as part of their analysis and price strategies against you.

Therefore, no company would possibly allow such data to be revealed.

And in any case, if these LLM providers burn cash to provide a service to you, then you ought to take maximal advantage of it. Just like how uber subsidized rides.
Very catchy landing page, like it. And I've read the documentation. Unfortunately not convincing me. I mean, writing larger web apps means nothing else then dealing with a lot of _state_, really a lot of asynchronous _state_. Clicks, notifications, mouse movement events, push messages, navigation changes and so on and on. Larger web apps are state monsters. That's why I choose a framework that is good a state management in the first place. React is one of those proven. Nue does not look trustworthy in regard to good state management tbh. For smaller apps that might not be a problem, but there I tend to use vanillajs anyway.
No, this JEP only talks about fields; it has no impact whatsoever on locals. There's no positive or negative impact on performance when making locals final or not.

Depends on the circumstances, it very well can be. Who are you to decide who gets a megaphone or not? But abstractly you cannot really confirm or deny such statements.

But that is besides the point. The criticism of free speech isn't new, the arguments are always the same and usually those that argue for more restriction do end up being wrong. I don't see the path developing differently here.

To ask why Trump can capitalize on these issues, a careful reading might be appropriate as the result wouldn't be too surprising without needing to much predictive capacities.

That thinking is time honoured and never found much traction.

That's just your avg elitism. The idea that the world is better by making the creation of art expensive so that only a small group of elite people is nonsense.

Effort of course went down that's clearly a good thing. As for quality, before you needed to get enough return to pay for the expensive equipment and process, so likely you only do it for very few project. So on some abstract sense maybe 'quality' did go down, but that isn't bad as the total amount of high quality goes up far more.

See the massive amount of great TV that have happened since digital cameras.

> slop

What's slop for you is somebody else's favorite show.

Art doesn't have to 'impact us in a positive way' whatever that means. You are not a better person for having watched "Lawrence of Arabia". And in the past most people didn't watch "Lawrence of Arabia" but generic TV shows.

Personally I can easily filter the 'slop' (ie thinks I don't care about) so given how much better the ability is to select what to watch. On demand media libraries, recommendation systems, digital word of mouth and so on. In the past there were few TV channels and only a few movies in theaters at the same time.

So the total access to high quality content has gone up exponentially.
It's not an accident if the government intentionally circumvents all checks that usually would apply to cases like this and denies them due process. It's also intentional that they send these people to a prison in a different country (and for most of them not the country they are originally from) with conditions that would certainly be illegal in the US itself.

This is also about more than just this single case. From the little we know so far it seems that being from Venezuela and having any kind of tattoo is sufficient to be targeted.
Given that there are precedents of people being detained (for weeks!) for no apparent reason, I assume that the parent is scared that it could happen to them.

A French citizen was denied entry because they found messages criticising Trump on his phone/computer. Not detained for weeks, but could well have been for all we know.

Accept it. Let it go. The useful stuff will bubble up over time anyway. A useful concept will be useful months later too. Unless you're fighting for survival in the research around the latest tech (like actually ai research, not playing with APIs), you can likely ignore the day to day things. And I'm saying that as someone who enjoys learning the day to day things.
The purpose of these articles is to promote the brand among engineers, help hire engineers, and help the careers of the authors both internally ("I'm helping the company hire") and externally (you can point at what you built because it's now public).
That was definitely a case of people buying up land purely for the IHT value and then doing some toy farming on the corner to get the exemption.

I feel like a lot of these cases could be avoided if people wanted to structure their family business like a business and gradually transfer control to their children, rather than keep it as personal property right until the very last minute.

Art becomes tainted by association.

The USSR had some absolutely incredible art used on their propaganda posters. But if you use that for anything outside of ironic Russian themes (e.g. a goofy game set in that era, some silly snack that claims to be Russian-inspired), people will think you're an unironic communist and you instantly turn away loads of people.

When a dominant political force uses AI "art" for everything they do and the style becomes apparent, anything that looks similar to that instantly disgusts loads of people. You can argue "well that's their fault for being disgusted", but pattern recognition and being conditioned to associate certain images with "bad" goes far deeper than the conscious and it's a base instinct in animals.
Rethinking Hiring: How Moka Recruiting Uses AI to Cut Costs and Time
Recruitment is broken—slow, expensive, and inefficient. Companies spend months filling roles, often with mismatched candidates, while HR teams drown in manual processes. AI recruiting tools promise a fix, but most systems still rely on rigid workflows that barely move the needle.

What’s Actually Changing?
Moka Recruiting claims to reduce time-to-fill by 34%, cut hiring costs by 36%, and streamline the entire process by 42%. The system automates candidate sourcing, shortlisting, and interview coordination, replacing human bottlenecks with AI-driven workflows. It’s designed to minimize repetitive tasks and let HR teams focus on strategic hiring rather than administrative work.

The Bigger Picture
The real challenge in recruitment isn’t just about filling positions faster—it’s about making better hires. Moka Recruiting integrates AI-powered candidate analysis, filtering applicants based on skills and role fit rather than keyword-matching resumes. This could mean fewer bad hires, lower attrition, and a more sustainable workforce.

The Skeptical Take
AI in recruitment isn’t new, and plenty of platforms overpromise. Automation helps, but hiring still involves human judgment, team fit, and negotiation. How much of Moka Recruiting’s efficiency gain is from real AI advancements versus simple process optimization? And does cutting recruitment time actually lead to better hiring decisions, or just faster ones?

Where This Goes Next
The recruiting space is evolving fast, with AI pushing boundaries in talent matching, interview scheduling, and even automated outreach. If Moka Recruiting’s numbers hold up, it could set a new benchmark for AI-driven hiring. But the real test will be whether companies see long-term benefits beyond just speed and cost savings.

Does AI actually improve hiring outcomes, or are we just moving faster in the wrong direction?

I ended up getting a faster Kobo! Thankfully, the slow load is a one time thing, per book. Depending upon when you tried it, KOReader has switched to a progressive model of updating it's caching (with most of it being handled in the background) when modifying a book's formatting.

That said, I think this may be mostly based upon a book's formatting. Messing around with upload options in Calibre may help. (For example, Calibre recently added an option to speed up load times with Kobo's reader software.)

I often hear it said that devs should use slow machines and connections for development. That's a great idea (and it can be simulated) in theory, but in practice very few people are going to buy old ThinkPads to test on. So a solution should probably be done in software, i.e. at the level of compilers and runtimes.

i.e. if JS engines weren't so fast, bloated frameworks would be impossible, even on dev hardware.

So I'm wondering if just like C++ compilers have optimization levels, perhaps there should be negative optimization levels, where all your code runs 10x slower by inserting dummy instructions (or perhaps a browser for testing that uses a naively implemented JS engine).

This would allow you to directly experience the pain you're causing without leaving the comfort of your fancy dev machine.

Then again by the sound of it, the release build of the app running on v8 already takes 10 sec to load, so we have already achieved the goal of gross lag without special tooling, so clearly people just don't care (or are working in systems where they feel powerless to fix it)?
Recently proposed changes to the UK system to include business property (and farms) are going to further the take over of productive property (including farms) in the UK by private equity and large and multi-national companies who have shown to be pretty poor actors in furthering the public good.
