Boy you have some reading to do. Look up the program called 'Daddy's Home'.

You have misread the room if you think you can boast "impressive partial destruction" of buildings when the ENTIRETY of Gaza has just been made unlivable in front of your eyes.

They are not only not caring about minimizing harm, they are getting away with 11 months of wanton destruction on a daily basis. Just this month, they have dropped mk84 bombs on civilian tents. What are you babbling about?

Please read some history man. I urge you to do it. Google it.

Oh sure, Israel is famous for caring about the difference between civilian and combatants.

Right afterwards, you can learn about the place called Haiti. Or Cuba. Or Venezuela. Or heck, Mexico. Oh, Vietnam. North-Korea. China. Japan. Wait until you learn about Chile. And do not forget to look up the meaning of 'Jakarta is coming'

BTW, before someone screams whataboutism: adjusting your worldview according to facts and applying your moral standards to all countries is not whataboutism. Its a prerequisite to being able to morally condemn any action.

Oh wow, a country BULLYING its neighbors. Imagine a country doing that. Luckily, the US never does something like that. Or imposes sanctions on a country half a world away, sanctions which the entire world has to adhere to unless they want to lose US trading all together.

Some of these talking points fall apart upon typing them, let alone posting.

The US already had to deal with the corporate cities problem, btw. Its nothing new. First, as a tragedy, now as a farce.

>>Whats the point of being a billionare if you cant even build your own city?

Are you even hearing yourself? Cities existed before billionares did. Society existed before pricks with god complexes started thinking that order and society organized the other way around.

Get off from Rand. Learn some actual history.

With all due respect: he seems to lack basic empathy and understanding for most office workers.

When you have the viewpoint of the maverick freegunning CEO/main architect, and you have a direct stake at what you do, of course you can switch the tasks up to make everything fresh. After all, no one is going to control you in any way whatsoever.

That does not go for anyone with a well-defined set of responsibilities,placed, say, in an "agile" environment. And besides, working above and beyond your means there just means you get more and more tasks in exchange, nothing else. Yaay?

"And the west for having them" - nope. Thats a propaganda line by the US goverment, and lately by the EU right wingers. There are much better reasons to despise the West than the percieved "freedom" they have. Like their actual acts of genocides and exploitation.

I am irrationally happy about this.

This is a misunderstanding of how Arrays work. When you have an object with exactly two keys, it is very fast to iterate through them.

So what this code demonstrates is that if you have to look up a billion keys, that is going to be slower than if you have to look up two keys for an object.

Additional reading for this: https://v8.dev/blog/fast-properties From this article:

const sparseArray = []; sparseArray[9999] = 'foo'; // Creates an array with dictionary elements. In this example, allocating a full array with 10k entries would be rather wasteful. What happens instead is that V8 creates a dictionary where we store a key-value-descriptor triplets. The key in this case would be '9999' and the value 'foo' and the default descriptor is used. Given that we don't have a way to store descriptor details on the HiddenClass, V8 resorts to slow elements whenever you define an indexed properties with a custom descriptor:

Yep. It makes big money, but it is literally gambling with people's sanity.

The author was not ignorant. He was also nowhere near close to any sort of enlightment, or else he would not have thought things like that.

This is, however, a moot point. The article is important and a warning to a lot of people. The current state we live creates such a tense situation for most people that these hardcore retreat-size meditation doses can literally act like shocks to both the trained and the untrained.

I'll be a bit raw, sorry for it. There is a battlefield in the JS ecosystem. Anyone seasoned in it, with all that entails, is not your "script kiddie" as that word originated in a VERY different era, with very different requirements for said "script kiddies". If anything, it shows that the one using this phrase is a bit out of the loop.

Upvote if you are a music composer :D

I really, really like this. At this point, I am not even sure if Bevy even needs another language (rust can work pretty well for scripting-needs,after all), but if it comes to having an editor for designers and separating that kind of logic from the build process, this could work very well. Looking forward to trying this out in the next few days.

I have respect for Dustin Bowder's vision with regards to Diablo III, however disastrous it proved to be with the game's hardcore fans. It misunderstood what the franchise was about and fundamentally went against some of its core "values", but at the end of the day, pre-nerf Diablo III at Inferno was one of the most heavy skill-based kite-based arpg to date. You had to be there.

I am mostly countering the libertarian "innovative hero" talking point that paints progress as an inherent part of profit-driven late stage capitalism.

Humans are cooperative by nature. We would have scientists even under different production systems. Therefore, I think it is a default failure state to just hope for heroes to emerge. Obama was portrayed as such, and he failed to tackle most of US's pressing social issues.

"The Big Question in politics is, as it has been for 2 centuries now, how do we deploy the brightest minds on the biggest problems."

I am sorry to have to inform you, but this is a meritocratic, very naive view of modern societies that every single datapoint points against. That is not the biggest problem.

The biggest problem is: what to do when there is an ongoing state capture of your country by oligopolic pan-continental corporate structures?

Stop assuming that we just have to find out a solution. Solutions exist. We can have co-owned drone farms sustaining entire villages. We COULD have that. We already have tens of thousands of bright scientists who work on drugs where the patents go to the corporations, not for those who actually did the research anyway. Profits, however, are more important to those who make decisions about our ways of living.

Yes. Many invasive species/pathogens are not as likely to devastate the whole area when they do not have a single clear pathway to infect.

Darn, now after 5G, even TCP/IP is attacking us? What is next, morse code?

You are right that it takes luck or very careful strategy to be able to learn multiple fields within programming inside one single company. In my current place, I consider myself very lucky that I got the opportunity to do multiple languages (starting off as TS, to move into C# and backend), and also had the chance to do a (p)React-based ui redesign as well, so that ticks three boxes without having to move around.

But lets not forget that many companies usually do change up web stacks as well, so there might be opportunities every now and then too.

This is a very problematic Ayn Randian bullshit that should not be propagated and spread. Not every culture revolves around a constant race to the top. Outside of a very competitive circle that mostly consists of a few towns in the EU, but mostly small parts of the US, the rest of the world actually has the concept where a programmer or any worker finds a good place and just works there until they retire. That is not a problem. That should not be a problem.

Yes, there are people who will keep amining for their percieved top, but whatever they do, lets not ever take this concept and look at actual human beings that you see in a company and treat them as "Residue". This is behaviour that would place you firmly in the "ignore, only deal with this person if I absolutely have to" category.

For what it's worth, the win x64 installer died on me at "creating desktop icons", not exactly the most confidence-inspiring start, but lets see again.

It could happen if there was a political will to have a framework for it to happen. There is not any in many countries, so that's that. Well, we will rethink these frameworks in the coming months, I am sure of that.

Thanks, I was actually pausing a bit to check that word (in my head, at least), and concluded that I have no idea how it should be written :D Ceases indeed makes more sense!

Its not a weird comment. The current global mode of production is engineered to ONLY work when there are no global crisises at hand.

Guess what: we have a global crisis at hand now. Which means that the neoliberal modus operandi fails without a struggle. It just collapsed overnight.

And if you think otherwise, just answer me this: if tourism cedes to exist, what do wild west neoliberal goverments do (with their current lack of social safety nets) with their 8-10% of their "workforce" having zero capability to get an income?

The problem is that they are not right. When there is an ongoing epidemic, it is not about "oh, lets reopen quickly."

Reopening quickly NOW would mean: - The collapse of the hospital systems of ANY country currently on earth (save a few that are actually working for the people, not to make profit) - The endangering of many, if not all medical professionals - A huge reduction of workforce realistically, because there will be many people sick for multiple weaks, prepare to lose 5-10 percent of your FULL workforce if the hospitals are overloaded.

So if the shutdown is not implemented, and not followed through, the economy will STILL collapse, and the consequences will be 3-4 times more deadly to the whole population.

The only upside to the global epidemic is that finally the neoliberal haegemony is ending, and libertarian dreamers who were not facing tough situations before can actually see where their favorite policies lead in the actual real world.

And we all will see it, because the inertia in the system will keep forcing politicians all over the world to ignore basic rules of society in favor of chasing a dream (some GDP growth preservation).

We can all see it clearly if we take the time to think it through. You have a bellyache. You want to eat cake. You can either not eat it, or you can eat it, vomit it out, go to the hospital, and still not feel well. Oh, and the hospitals are overloaded with COVID-patients.
