As someone trying to move away from dead tree paper and towards digital (but hasn't quite found a cozy spot with those e-readers like kindle). What is so good about ReMarkable? I would never use it for writing only reading white and black text with no images

Point is many of these libraries don't just let you get latest without rewriting some of your code. Multiple that by 10-20 and you are in for a real treat.

I don't know in what company you work at. But you can't have outdated libraries in production forever. Vulnerabilities happen. Stable does not equate outdated. Look at .Net. You can pick a codebase from 2014 and make your way around easily. It is like home. Similarly, your 2014 dev could jump into a time machine into 2024 and work with .Net Core easily. Also, 2014 codebase can keep getting the latest security patches without having to rewrite the codebase.

That's not the case with React or most of the js frameworks

You haven't used vue 2 or svelte then. Modern React is big and opinionated (just like Angular). When people talk about react they are not just talking about a state management library anymore

You are right. It will be interesting to see how it changes given the fast rising Asian American demographics in the coming decades as Asia becomes host to more powerhouses.

Regarding your confusion, ancestry is the whole point of this thread. This sub-discussion just focused on a specific part of the discussion :)

Interesting, I have never heard of that. Which is funny because Catholicism is far older than Protestantism

You don't acknowledge continent-scale cultural and human destruction by calling it "injustice" or "inevitable awful consequence". Do you imagine someone saying that about the current situation in Crimea? Millions of people died. It is not just an "injustice". An injustice is a state official forging evidence for nefarious purposes not destroying a country and unaliving its people let alone a whole continent. It really downplays the role of the invaders even more than it already is.

Who exactly was brought together? The natives were virtually or/and culturally wiped out (in case you didn't notice) and the consequences can still be seen today. When you look at the US today, do you see two groups together? How so, when the actual natives have virtually no land have been systemically attacked since their world was destroyed.

Thinking about it in positive terms is no different than doing the same with the situation in Crimea or with any of the world wars.

It is fine to discuss stuff but the idea of bringing two groups together when one of them has been virtually wiped out speaks of severe cognitive dissonance.

There is no whataboutism here because no other continent has experienced what the American continent has. There is no equivalent in written history for the scale of suffering and destruction unleashed upon it.

And you having a problem with me criticising the vast destruction (rather than a generic injustice) of a continent by saying that cruelty exists together (tell me what other continent in the last 2 thousand years got culturally destroyed and had millions of deaths as a result of foreign invaders) says a lot about your opinion about the deaths of tens millions of people (at the very least) the descendants of which still suffer all sorts of challenges. Including the continuous dismissal of the scale of their suffering by people like you ever since the invasions began.

That kind of value only matters as long as you can find an ecosystem of companies that can be convinced to pay you what you think that value is worth. Many companies can't be convinced to do so and the companies that can are overflown by candidates smarter than you that have regular contributions in top rated github repos if they haven't made super popular frameworks and libraries

When you learn a language, you don't just learn how to use the syntax of that language idiomatically. You also need to learn to use the different tools in that ecosystem

Salary and job conditions. Companies want low salary and worse conditions. Candidates want the opposite. An equilibrium is not necessarily reached

It's a RoI. Are you just telling them to learn something new or are you explaining the benefits and costs of learning Rust when they could be learning X?

The kind of people that recklessly move from shiny language to the newest shiny language in town are the same kind of people that believe that you could kick out a dev writing systems in Java and stick a dev whose experience has only been Haskell and O'Caml and have the new dev hit the ground running

is it so rare to think that maybe he did it himself rather it being passed down?

That is not true though unless you explicitly mean something different. American does not equate to European American.

Most Americans come from Mexico, India and China. In that order. European countries are not even in the top 5. You are probably talking about something else but are unable to phrase it properly likely due to some internal assumptions. You are welcome to share those assumptions :)

What exactly do you mean by "where there DNA comes from"? I smell some kind of biology oversimplification here but I will hear you first

Are you literally saying they all share a single ancestor? Because that is unlikely to be true

You can be a secular one, the same way many christians are. But often when people say x person is Y-ish, it just means that they have Y ancestry rather than they living under the cultural norms of Y

You fail to understand that this is not about him (he's not alive to care about it) but about Spain, he is a proxy

> brought humanity together again

This is such a culturally insensitive thing to say. And very ironic considering all the Americans that died during that "bringing humanity together" period and all the segregation imposed by the invaders that has been in place until not that many decades ago

Off-topic but why do people keep referring to Catholic Christians as Catholics as opposed to just Christians? I noticed that a lot in anglo-saxon spheres. It seems to function as an othering technique. I wonder if you are aware of you doing it. Other groups don't seem to get that kind of categorisation (just look at this thread)

Pretty sure France wasn't a thing in the ice age

> which is where most of the European Americans (and European Canadians) ultimately come from

Just a minor correction. People seem to miss it so often not sure why.

The relevant bit is him being Spanish. That's what makes it appealing to the target audience of the article. Him not being catholic is not relevant and gets swept under the rug the same way the gypsy origin of flamenco (now considered spain's most popular form of folk music) get swept under the rug due to its popularity.

Why do you fantasise about writing pure html manually for an entire website? Haven't you done it before?

> I can run untrusted programs from hackernews folks without worrying

The assumption is that native code has virtually unrestricted access to your system while JS programs don't, which is true. But if the untrusted JS program is wrapped up in web extension, in 2024, it could do almost as much damage than native code especially since most non-techies don't have much of value in their machines. The value exists on walled sites

I agree with HTML+CSS+JS websites being not fine. But to be honest, js callbacks are more of a language thing than a framework thing. You don't need to use frameworks to write promises.

You can't reuse pieces of UI functionality (a bundle of specific html, css and js) unless did copypasta which is obviously awful. Sharing business logic across different areas of an application becomes much harder and you can't non-trivially write and run tests across areas of your application because you are just using html,css and js. And the big monster: state. Sharing state safely across different areas of an application becomes much harder. You end up writing your own micro framework trying to make all the above work. At that point you might as well use as existing battle-tested one

Let's be honest. Those old HTML+CSS+JS didn't have the interaction levels of modern applications. And jQuery was great until you reached a level of complexity after which it became jquery Bolognese. There are 2 main challenges: state and reusing pieces of html. Both of these are much harder in modern applications due to their complexity. Try reusing a piece of HTML using HTML+CSS+JS alone (no Node or back-end tools allowed). Try keeping state synced across a modern application without using state management libraries.

This is obviously a US thing. Here in Europe, it isn't necessarily so because you can walk anywhere. During the last evacuations in my region, virtually no one evacuated by car and radio wasn't needed. But it makes sense that if you live in car-centric areas, you would need a car and ways to communicate across vast distances

That sounds like the most likely direction. I would imagine the price will of the inspection will increase slightly to account for that but adding it to the inspection makes the most sense
