This is how it goes. There isn’t going to be a big thank you and there certainly won’t be a payday. Just some asshole whining about your build system.

And when you’ve finally had enough, your announcement that you’ve had enough will get tone policed so nobody has to think about what you’re saying. This is how it goes.

It seems the author has some sort of link to Bluesky. God help them.

I am begging these things to use a normal fucking name for once

> American courts generally decline to enforce foreign judgments that violate the United States Constitution

Good grief. This is sad stuff.

I would have been okay with this state of affairs if the Omarchy guy had good politics. But he has the bad politics so I’m outraged.

Well, I guess it would be nice if the graduation cutoff were above the level of “knows what rhabdo is”

Shyeah, all those successful requests were really helpful for showing me a page, which then failed when I tried to do anything by clicking the buttons on the page. I was completely unable to merge things for hours, for no lack of trying. GH was down.

They're taking patio11's advice!

My problem is it’s usually the second guy advancing this argument.

Plus, the interest and expertise and passion used to favor the red team, attackers. If you wanted to defend against them you had to get on their level, or hire someone on their level. Thats either expensive or requires a time investment that doesn’t make sense for someone who is trying to do much more than just defend against attackers.

Now it’s just as you said- asking AI to red team your app will get you pretty far.

Sorry! Just yesterday many of us decided that AI scraping isn't a real problem, and anytime it is blamed, it's a cover for something else.

I don't work with video but this seems very nice, and your promo video is wonderful. Great work!

> Jeff Dean ... and other senior employees pledged to “neither participate in nor support the development, manufacture, trade, or use of lethal autonomous weapons.” Google signed the classified deal, yet they remain.

> I think he could have stopped the deal, yet he did not. He remains, yet I think he should not.

Is Jeff Dean still considered a saint at Google? If so, how come this doesn't change that? The amicus was enough?

I think it's weird to say crap like "So and so was a stinky manager" and then be like it's not a personal attack!

I liked Zed Shaw. I liked Ted Unangst. They made solid technical points and they were kinda mean about it. They didn't act like butter wouldn't melt in their mouths at the same time.

“Jarred was a stinky manager”. Is this professional criticism?

It’s white text on black bg for me. But to answer your question- reader mode!

The language doesn't, but I'd say the language integration isn't the tricky part of this kind of cross-cutting-concern code. In JS you could imagine a function that decorates classes in some way, or React HOCs, etc. (We don't do HOCs anymore because we have a new kind of kludge, but we used to.)

The tricky part is as someone mentioned elsewhere in the thread: the attribute doesn't account for interactions well. You might want it to alter its behavior in different situations but the whole point is that it's cross-cutting and treats everything the same. (And I would say, even though I just called React hooks a kludge, that they are less cumbersome in this respect than HOCs were.)

Hmm, I think you’re not ever supposed to say anything negative about Ukraine.

Sometimes foreign aid is good, other times it's bad.

Remember that webcomic of the org charts of different companies? Microsoft's was a bunch of separate groups with guns aimed at each other.

I was pleased to see Congaree on here. It really does suck that bad.

For #1, holding the option key makes the x immediately appear on all of the spaces.

Hope they don’t auto-close this one in two weeks

The dystopia of searching for video clips and finding them? What?

I’ve worked in two places now with Ruby Sorbet servers. Ruby always drives me nuts how things are just in-scope and we don’t know why or where they came from.

I certainly wouldn’t want to go back to working in dynamic languages without typing on top. That takes too much brain power, I’m too old for that now.

I would say Sorbet seems more “basic” than something like Typescript. It handles function calls matching signatures, potential nulls, making sure properties actually exist, that kind of thing. Whereas TS can get quite abstract, and at times you’re fighting to convince it that a value actually is the type you say it is.

TS is very powerful and expressive, to the point that it’s possible to do computation within type code. I’m not convinced I always need that power, or that it’s always more help than hindrance.

Oops you forgot this part:

> Here we account for the influence of three main natural variability factors: El Niño, volcanism, and solar variation.

Whoops! Whoopsies! Oopsy doodles!

Indeed, if only it were as simple as “{n} rows”.

I18n / l10n is full of things like this, important details that couldn’t be more boring or fiddly to implement.

If I may suggest two artists besides the great Fela Kuti: William Onyeabor (try "Tomorrow") and Dizzy K Falola (try "Sweet Music").

I didn’t see the source graph thing, but the Grab episode always seemed odd to me. He wrote these breathless rants about how epic it all was, then quit after a year or so. I just figured the long hours eventually stopped being awesome.

Man we better hope the solution to that problem is working code. Otherwise we better start working the fryers or something.

From what I can tell, he was insufficiently enthusiastic about immigration. And, you know. You can't be saying that stuff.
