Sounds like you should have started looking a quarter of a decade ago. I'm sure you could find something that compensates better with similar work life balance and flexibility.

I’d stay away from Linode. They’ve had so many major security issues over the years that at this point they are like the Yahoo Mail of VPS in my mind.

Soooo tired of companies "democratizing" things.

I'd much rather just have the simplicity of a hardware switch than a bug-prone implementation like this. Not to mention that this is anti-user in the sense that it gives the user less control, not more.

I highly doubt Apple will ever implement a basic hardware switch, because of it's dead-simple nature. I find it highly annoying that Apple at times is like a German car manufacturer that likes to over-engineer shit.

This just sounds like inexperienced programmers. I've played around with React and it doesn't seem like there is anything special about React that would prevent you from creating a single instance of a component and have it's state update based on what image you are right-clicking on.

> IMO the ideal solution some generic right-click (context menu) function/handler. you attach it to each image

Ideally, you would only have a single event listener that handles events for all images.

Can’t tell if OP was being sarcastic or not

This is such a silly POV. Enforcing too much specifics into law is how you end up with non-nonsensical actions that are done just to comply with a law, like intrusive cookie banners on every single website. This law seems to actually be well written, other than it doesn't seem to specify any penalties for non-compliance, at least from the part of the law shown in the article.

It's clear what the end goal of the law is, and gives several broad, reasonable ways to comply with the law. Century link is the ISP/tech experts here - they are the morons who chose to do DNS hihacking when they could have just as easily sent out an email or added a notice to the bill for the month.

God, SF is so overrated.

Large homeless population.

I wouldn't say it's common for people to kick doors in either, I'm sure it happens though. More likely to happen at a place like a dive bar - that wouldn't surprise me, or some place where the bathroom appearance isn't seen as a high priority - like a gas station.

But if the clean toilets have controlled access that requires a fee for use then that mitigates tragedy of commons effect. Not aware of many places like that in the US.

Interested to know how unique US is in this regard. If your name checks out, I assume Japan is one such country where things differ from your experience. I would guess that Japan is the exception though, not the rule.

Very few packages actually contain minified sources - it's not really needed with modern build tools. I think it was an exception in this case, and that by itself could be suspicious. Current version of npm now contains a package-lock.json file which is made to make builds pretty close to deterministic. It contains the entire dependency tree of dependency names, versions, and hashes. I say pretty close because it's still possible to break "npm install" by unpublishing a package.

yeah - thinking it'd be helpful for npm to have a diff command to check source changes when doing upgrades.

With modern build tools like browserify, webpack, rollup, etc. does it really make sense to still have non-apps do minification?

I wouldn't just add some random maintainer with a new GitHub account to a project I controlled. If they had made some contributions via pull requests, I would consider it or if they were a maintainer of other projects with actual users. In this case, there was no vetting at all. A brand new GitHub account with a couple forks.

I'm not placing all the blame on the original maintainer as I understand his philosophy of handing off the torch, but I think it's a naive thing to do, as this has shown.

Ultimately, this has been a good demonstration of a weakness with the ecosystem and I think there are a lot of things that could be improved here to help mitigate this in the future.

left-pad was a very different situation. The maintainer unpublished the module from npm. I forget the reason, but I want to say it was some sort of rage quit.

npm [recently] now has a lockfile called package-lock.json, in addition to package.json, which defines the entire dependency tree (not just the direct dependencies as package.json does), contains package hashes, and will pin dependencies to specific versions for an application.

I think something like an npm diff command would be helpful. This would allow you to see the changes from a previous version that you just upgraded from. This would somewhat replicate the functionality that commiting your node_modules directory to git would give you.

Is anyone here helping support the Internet that allows pedos to trade images of their sex crimes?

Higher productivity, but stagnant wages means productivity is increasing, but labor is not capturing the increase of their productivity and is instead being captured by shareholders or management.

People will demand fewer car washes or they will start to use fully automated car washes that don’t require people, or they will wash their own car. High labor costs makes automation that may have been thought of as too expensive or complicated before to seem more viable.

It’d be way longer.

> A similar argument could be made about public spending on education, that it only creates inflation. But of course education is a great way to increase productivity

Uh yeah, but that doesn't make it a good thing. If the expense of education puts you into a debt hole that is so deep that it's impossible to make up for it with increased productivity, that is a net negative.

And what does this have to do with housing? Increased housing costs is like the exact opposite of increased productivity. Limiting supply of housing is a rent-seeking behavior.

> A centrally planned economy is where a single central authority determines how investment and capital will be allocated.

I think you might be getting too semantic here. If you looked up the definition of a centrally-planned economy in an academic economics book, that might be what you get.

When the Fed or any central bank lets one institution fail, saves another, buys more or less government debt, purchases mortgage-backed securities, or any other security, I don't see how you could not call that central planning, investment, or capital allocation.
