Exactly, ambidextrous people are freaks of nature, like a professional baseball player who can pitch with either hand from inning to inning, and even then there will be a stronger side -- in other words, it is unlikely that a human being could be equally dominant across both hands.

I personally think that the best alternative is statamic. I've built two large sites with it without touching a line of PHP. No themes or crazy plugin dependencies in the manner of Wordpress, so its a roll everything yourself type deal, but the data model building GUI is excellent. Not super interested in selling/explaining it, but certainly I would look into it as a viable alternative - it works how I think CMS's should work, incredibly refreshing after building websites for 20 odd years.

This post is really something.<p>While it is obviously full of interesting internet history and technical details and a bunch of good points about, well, software architecture in general, it was extremely hard to get through. It&#x27;s way, way too long and makes me think that this person really loves the sound of his own voice.<p>The author is a perfect example of an enlightened centrist. The post starts out with a (way too long) self-righteous lecture about the tone of the internet, and then quickly devolves into just bashing react using some pretty dubious arguments. Hypocrisy at its finest.<p>Some of his claims about react are, at best, extremely misinformed and at worst, makes me truly want to doubt his ability to build software and abstractions -- which I don&#x27;t really honestly believe, because many of his other technical discussions clearly show he knows what he is talking about, at least to some extent. Some of the claims:<p>- Impossible to understand what is going on in any given component: You can absolutely build components that make this hard and are tightly coupled to all sorts of state and what have you.. but you can also not. You can build tangled balls of mud anywhere, using anything.<p>- Claims that &quot;large chunks of the react community have given up on unit testing&quot;.. by citing some random guy on twitter. Maybe I should create a xhitter account and make the opposite claim. Meanwhile, if you want some actual data, try looking at npmtrends for @testing-library&#x2F;react.<p>- Blathers on about the virtual dom. Is it a perfect solution? No, no one has ever thought it was. But in practice, re-renders are rarely a real problem. It also doesn&#x27;t &quot;re-render everything every time&quot;, and when there are too many re-renders, there are ways to avoid them. If it&#x27;s still not fast enough, by all means, just use something else. The part about it not &quot;acskhually being functional&quot; because it performs optimizations under the hood is also just straight up embarrassing. It&#x27;s an abstraction. And it&#x27;s never been <i>really</i> functional as much as has been inspired by functional programming. It&#x27;s still a pretty useful approximation to think about react components.<p>The part about &quot;react commodifying devs&quot; is just patently absurd and boggles the mind. Management (with a capital M, like the Man) has always been trying to treat developers as replaceable units where one dev is the same as the next dev. React has absolutely no role in this whatsoever except for the fact that, in the context of the web, it became extremely popular extremely fast and thus appeared in more job postings than anything else, since nothing has grown within the realm of software development quite like web development has grown.<p>While he addresses some really interesting issues with implementing web components, he just keeps bashing react every chance he gets, and considering how much of this post is spent on that in particular makes me really feel like this post is a (not so thin) veneer on top of what was originally meant to be a rant against react, in the same vein as all the other rants he starts out his post by distancing himself from.

The problem with repeating code in multiple places is that when you find a bug in said code, it won&#x27;t actually be fixed in all the places where it needs to be fixed. For larger projects especially, it is usually a worthwhile tradeoff versus having to peel off some extra abstraction layers when reading the code.<p>The problems usually start when people take this as an opportunity to go nuts on generalizing the abstraction right away - that is, instead of refactoring the common piece of code into a simple function, it becomes a generic class hierarchy to cover all conceivable future cases (but, somehow, rarely the actual future use case, should one arise in practice).<p>Most of this is just cargo cult thinking. OOP is a valid tool on the belt, and it is genuinely good at modelling certain things - but one needs to understand <i>why</i> it is useful there to know when to reach for it and when to leave it alone. That is rarely taught well (if at all), though, and even if it is, it can be hard to grok without hands-on experience.

I learned to program around the peak of object oriented fetishization. Shortly after that came functional programming&#x27;s moment, and now it seems we are slightly past Rust and other safety focused languages&#x27; peak period of hype. All three language families have useful things to offer, but were never the panacea their proponents claimed them to be. &quot;No Silver Bullet&quot; continues to be true.

Short and simple response.<p>&gt; *Advertising in it&#x27;s current form* is a plague on humanity.<p>Magazine ads were not highly targeted towards every user that bought one. We liked magazine ads, they were high quality and usually contextually relevant.<p>Modern advertising is nothing like magazine ads. We don&#x27;t take screenshots of ads on webpages, print them out, and hang them on our walls like we did with magazine ads.<p>&gt; Why do you think Google provides you with free searches?<p>To deliver ads. The same reason Google does everything else.

We&#x27;re probably already be an outlier species in mammals. In my last quarter I have some &quot;skin in the game&quot; and do the simple things in exercise and diet which bring pleasure as well as some hope of continued health.<p>I&#x27;m not personally pursuing a record here. Reading about what life extension people do, I bet they live every single second of that longer life. Mostly, waiting for the chance to eat another mouthful.<p>I do have one life extending recommendation: Don&#x27;t cross the road without looking both ways. And one life shortening one. Butter is worth it.<p>If we&#x27;re close to the asymptote in the local domain, I look forward to significant improvement in the least developed economies.

Gosh, you have gone pretty far down into the kool-aid.<p>Cards Against Humanity is a card game, it was a Kickstarter in 2011. The name is a joke with &quot;crimes against humanity&quot;, it&#x27;s a politically incorrect game where you complete sentences from a card with the sentences&#x2F;words you have in the cards on your hand.<p>You&#x27;ve created a whole 5 paragraphs strawman out of the name of a game...<p>Please, reconsider the stuff you read, you&#x27;re deeply chronically online. And I don&#x27;t mean this to put you down, it&#x27;s just that the vicious way you went into a tirade against a creation of your own mind is concerning.

There&#x27;s not very much that you can do against that particular threat model other than not live there, but one of the big reasons that the area is so popular with tourists is that it&#x27;s easily accessible to most people (you can easily get to Gatlinburg or Asheville within a day&#x27;s drive from pretty much anywhere you would consider &quot;the southeast US&quot;), it&#x27;s pretty, and in summer you can escape the oppressive heat without having to go to the upper Midwest or the Rockies.<p>Massive landslides and floods will wipe out your natural gas lines, your propane tanks, your wind and solar generators, your battery backups...

Whenever you have that much data stored how do you actually know the data is still there and can be retrieved? Even if you have absolutely insane connectivity to it at some point don&#x27;t you run out of time to check it? Apparent 200 PiB at 1 GiB per second would take about 58254 hours to retrieve.

Yes: it&#x27;s about the distinction between global GC and programmer-defined memory management. GC is about as straightforward a tradeoff as you can make: remove a very large class of programmer concerns in exchange for a different performance envelope. It is not reasonable to argue that Rust&#x27;s memory management doesn&#x27;t represent a point on a tradeoff space --- that people suggesting GC languages are better fits for some problems just don&#x27;t grok Rust well enough. That&#x27;s a common trope, and it&#x27;s pretty obviously false, just as it would be false to say that kernels should just supply a GC runtime so we can write device drivers in Java.

I actually used to agree that Rust generally wasn&#x27;t good for high-level application code, but working with Bevy has made me change that opinion for certain domains. I simply haven&#x27;t seen a system that makes automatically parallelizing all application logic (game logic, in this case) feasible, other than Bevy and other Rust-based systems. The trick is that the borrow check gives the scheduler enough information to automatically safely determine which systems can run in parallel, and that&#x27;s very powerful. It&#x27;s not that you <i>couldn&#x27;t</i> do this in C# or whatever--it&#x27;s that you <i>won&#x27;t</i> without a system that helps express your intent and enforces that those declarations are up to date.<p>For applications that don&#x27;t need high performance for the CPU code <i>and</i> aren&#x27;t systems code, sure, Rust may not be a good choice. I&#x27;m not writing the server-side code for low traffic Web sites in Rust either.

&gt;Their hourly pay is misleading, because of overtime and container royalties.<p>Overtime isn&#x27;t a good thing to rely on. Especially blue collar work where your phyaical body is being whittled away. And yes, I wish we had more royalties for jobs. Everyone would jump on AI overnight if we got a kickback.<p>&gt;The ports would absolutely love to hire more workers. It&#x27;s the union that tightly controls membership, to rake in that lucrative overtime.<p>Seems backwards that people would want to work 14+ hours a day to make more money. What&#x27;s money without a life to live? At least CEOs can vacation at their leisure. Blue collar overtime is just draining your life.

Again, the subtext here is GC versus direct control of memory lifecycles, and it is probably <i>not</i> reasonable to argue that there isn&#x27;t a tradeoff here --- that every application is as gracefully expressible in one as the other, so long as you &quot;git gud&quot; at it. Both sides of this debate are guilty of deploying that trope.

It could be, by default no turbo boost is enabled, and after a few activities you should feel the lag and maybe unresponsiveness of using small amount of CPU power, I can be bad guessing, but using some Intel CPUs after 8th generation, this was a recurrent problem. In summary, it feels like an underpowered machine; then enable turbo boost, starts to heat up and feel the new kind of unresponsiveness, nice until there is to much heat (like 60 celsius); then, unlock the fan to keep the temp low, this recover a little bit of responsiveness, but that temp limit seems low; then, you get throttled in to play, with it you can play with the limit up to 98 celsius, so you can have a better experience overall and tweak your preference.

I love the focus on flexibility &amp; integration with Redis.<p>We use a mix of Traefik and Envoy for complex + dynamic LB configurations. Doing anything related to custom middleware, dynamic configuration, and caching feels archaic on Traefik and requires a non-trivial amount of code on Envoy. I hope Dito becomes the next gold standard for load balancing.<p>One caveat — one of my biggest complaints with Traefik is the memory usage, which makes it difficult to run as an mTLS proxy between services. We use Envoy for these use cases instead. I’m curious to see how Dito compares on memory usage, despite also being written in Go.

…yes, well, it’s quite common for people to pay others to do things that they could do themselves but would rather just do something else. That is kind of how the world works.

&gt; RTO is a tool used to cause no-severance departures of workers who are expensive to fire but can be replaced by cheaper workforce, in a way that will go unnoticed to investors during the next quarter.<p>Yep. I seem to recall this happening well before COVID, like at IBM (which was a pioneer for remote work) and Yahoo.

Sometimes rich could not find a way out of paying a large tax, so instead they pull at least some good from their bad situation, and make it a PR.<p>And it&#x27;s a good thing that government is strong enough to be able to collect large taxes. Contrary to popular opinion, rich people are mostly OK paying large taxes, but only as long as all other rich pay their share as well. The grudges they hold are only about unfairness, not about amounts.

I would argue that macOS (since NextStep) is trying to bring unix pipes to gui via &#x27;Services&#x27;. Unfortunately there is no integration with Spotlight (which would make apps like Quicksilver or Alfred obsolete).

It’s very icky to me to think about median pay for the everyday American contrasted with what tech folks are pulling down. We’re not brain surgeons, people. Most people do not have good access to paying work, and expecting them to “learn to code” is literally a sad joke. I’m not cool with this situation just because I’m a part of it. Not clear that there’s much we can do; people just aren’t offering any other meaningful alternatives outside of radically overturning our entire social model, which I suppose it might come to eventually, and probably for the worse for everyone involved.

Not OP.<p>I switched to DuckDuckGO about 1.5&#x2F;2 years back, and it was awesome at the time. But it has gradually gotten worse to the point where I @google search pretty much 70% of the time. Now that could be me being in a bit in the honeymoon phase with DDG at the time and it wore off, or maybe it&#x27;s actually been getting worse.<p>My pet, unproven, theory. Is that DDG has been &quot;improving&quot; but that&#x27;s been making the search worse somehow. Perhaps the context and &quot;fanciness&quot; of a search is not something we all value and that&#x27;s what we&#x27;re experiencing.

It&#x27;s not high for bay area software jobs; there are new grads who were paid more than that 10 years ago and I assume new grad wages have gone up since. Of course cost of living (particularly rent) and taxes are high there too, but if you don&#x27;t blow it all on renting a higher-end place or luxuries you can still save a lot.<p>For context someone making less than $105k is classified as &quot;low income&quot; in San Francisco. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sfgate.com&#x2F;local&#x2F;article&#x2F;under-100k-low-income-san-francisco-18168899.php" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.sfgate.com&#x2F;local&#x2F;article&#x2F;under-100k-low-income-s...</a>

I actually find that fairly tame. For a point of comparison, Wikipedia gets ~$150M in revenue a year, an &quot;asset rise&quot; (I presume this is what non-profits call profit?) of ~$15M a year, and is sitting on about a quarter billion in the bank.<p>Not that they want to, but I think Wikipedia could fund this using their current donations if they wanted. Hell, I almost wonder if one of the big storage providers would do it for free if they could do it in their staging environment so they get real traffic. It would be less good than real backups, but extra copies are still extra copies even if they&#x27;re unreliable.

Oh, definitely. One of the worst commutes in Northern California is the Altamont Pass, which Interstate 580 traverses. As early as 4:30am there is a long line of cars filled with commuters who live in more affordable Central Valley places like Stockton, Modesto, and Tracy, commuting to either Silicon Valley or San Francisco. These are generally not FAANG software engineers; they do all sorts of other work, such as cleaning offices, preparing food, stocking aisles, teaching students, building Teslas (Tesla has a shuttle that goes from Modesto to its Fremont factory), policing Bay Area communities, fighting fires, and a lot more.

I get your point and your edit. I think most people reaction is less because of the destruction itself and more because The Internet Archive is being targeted. It is a place that most would say are representing the hacker values, and few such places exist on current internet landscape.<p>There are so many other possible targets that would get even positive reactions from people. The only kind of people that might be happy about TIA being down is maybe some big corporations that want to control and sell the information being freely preserved there.

I will provide a set of example critiques to begin.<p>MMT alone may not provide sufficient guidance on how to adjust outlays and receipts to manage employment and inflation.<p>MMT may not be politically feasible. Politicians may not be navigate politically unpopular but economical necessary.<p>MMT may be domestically sound, but challenging to implement regarding international trade. It may result in devaluing compared to other currencies.<p>MMT may suggest that interest rates can be kept low indefinitely. It&#x27;s unclear if this would result in excessive risk taking.<p>MMT may not be applicable to developing economies.<p>MMT may work in the short term to manage employment and demand but fail to cultivate long term economic development.<p>MMT&#x27;s implication as having a larger governmental impact on investment may crowd out private sector investment.<p>MMT if implemented could be constrained by international investors. If international investors dislike a policy, it may have domestic implications.<p>MMT depends on having a government effective enough to implement it. If a government is too dysfunctional, MMT may fail in practice.

For-loops do exist, they just need to not have side effects, which in practice means the likes of map&#x2F;filter&#x2F;reduce (ideally promoted to a first class language feature like sequence comprehensions).<p>You could argue that those are still desugared to recursion, but I think at that point it&#x27;s kinda moot - the construct is still readily recognizable as a loop, and it&#x27;s most likely also implemented under the hood as an imperative loop with encapsulated local state; not that it matters so long as semantics stay the same.<p>In general, so long as mutation can be encapsulated in modules that only expose pure functional interfaces, I think it should still count as FP for practical purposes.

&gt; Non-trivial data structures are often just a bunch of arrays&#x2F;maps with additional semantics<p>This might be fine for code which consumes data structures implemented by other people. The approach is not good when you actually need to implement data structures in your program.<p>In modern world this is especially bad for a low-level language (marketed as high performance, BTW) because the gap between memory latency and compute performance is now huge. You do need efficient data structures, which often implies developing custom ones for specific use cases. This is required to saturate CPU cores as opposed to stalling on RAM latency while chasing pointers, or on cache coherency protocol while incrementing&#x2F;decrementing reference counters from multiple CPU cores.<p>Interestingly, neither C++ nor C# has that boundary, for different reasons: C++ is completely unsafe, and safe C# supports almost all data structures (except really weird ones like XOR linked lists) because GC.

&gt;the cumulative inflation has been 21%. Inflation has also mostly returned back to normal. The last few prints were around 3% YOY. In light of all this, 50% over 6 years is ludicrous.<p>Only of you think 21% raises makes up for years of lost costs, and ignore what inflation did to the rest of the economy that did not in fact come down.<p>&gt;The difference is that pensions are &quot;earned&quot; through years of service, and are agreed on ahead of time<p>&gt;Asking for payments for no work being done.<p>Sure, like a union contract. Or a job contract with pension. Given the amount of employee contracts broken, employees need to play hardball. Why would I sympathize with people have historically broken contracts in spirits.<p>They&#x27;ve proven they need actual, immediate consequences, because even suing them is just a stall tactic. I have no sympathy.<p>The work is done and still utilized. Thars how royalties work. Peolel who hate pensions say the exact same thing, &quot;why am I paying this worker who isn&#x27;t working&quot;?<p>&gt;under the threat of labor disruptions is closer to a shakedown.<p>Shakedown makes it sound like the poor USMX is some small businessman struggling to stay afloat.<p>Meanwhile they are paid with our money. If they can&#x27;t keep labor happy with my tax dollars then they reap what they sow. The workers getting the money they deserve is great.

Inflammatory? &quot;My Negative Views on X&quot; is pretty far from inflammatory. It is exactly what the post was, with some positivity sprinkled in as well.

Firing particles at each other to disprove the next 500 variants of string theory is nowhere near as useful.

Yes? For society in general, for professionals in criminal justice system and also to some extent even victim as well, it is lot harder when there is no motive.<p>Perpetrators without motive can not be negotiated with, punishment may not a strong deterrent, rehabilitation is lot harder. Economic crimes or crimes of passion or ones as a result of addiction can have a path to rehabilitation and recidivism can be solved by tackling the underlying issue like poverty, addition etc. Even solving crimes without motive can be harder as there is less assumptions we can make about the perpetrator.

This sort of pearl clutching among highly paid professionals seems to be unique to software engineers. Lawyers and finance types meanwhile are just laughing all the way to the bank.

IIRC there were a few storage based projects that popped up using alt coins to encourage people to offer excess storage space for other randos on there internet. The possibility you might be storing illegal content might have been what killed it&#x2F;them.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cooperative_storage_cloud" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Cooperative_storage_cloud</a> gives a few examples, like Filecoin.

Wait do people wear their watch on their dominant hand? I can’t do that, need to use that hand to manipulate the watch. Maybe because it’s a smartwatch.

While I do agree with you, that doesn&#x27;t really impact salary all too much. Allow me to explain.<p>Taxes, Housing, Transportation, and Insurance is what eats up most of your expenses anyway. Housing varies wildly across the world. Many parts of the US now cost &gt; $3,000 &#x2F;mo to rent a median home. Most of those homes are probably selling for ~$500k putting your mortgage at current interest rates in the same ballpark of $3k &#x2F;mo. For somoene making $120k that is 1&#x2F;3 of their income. For someone making the national average (around $70k) that is 1&#x2F;2 their total income. Just to mention, those areas (Seattle, San Fran, NYC) where you see $250k-300k salaries, those people are paying much higher than these figures. Probably $5-6k in rent or buying modest homes that just happen to cost $1.25M-1.5M<p>In the US you also can pay $1,000 (or more) &#x2F;mo for health insurance. Most other parts of the world don&#x27;t have this expense.<p>As of 2024, the average price of a new car is now $47,000 in the USA. Now not everyone is buying a new car but the used car market swells based on this figure.<p>Then you pay 15-30% in taxes on average for most people here.<p>So You add all that up and probably 2&#x2F;3-3&#x2F;4 of your money is gone.<p>I agree with you that things like clothing, consumer goods, software, meat, and oil are largely comparable globally now, but these goods only account for probably 10-20% of a person&#x27;s monthly expenses.<p>Not to mention retirement. Because all these costs are so high, it means I need to put a larger percent of my paycheck to retirement so I can survive a few years of not working before I die. When basics like healthcare and housing are as high as I outlined, it means more money needs to go to retirement, which is money that can&#x27;t be spent on these basic goods that you mention.<p>So yes, these goods you call out are in fact comparable around the world. But they only account for a relatively small portion of someone&#x27;s expenses. The outstanding expenses are the most variable (housing, transportation, insurance, taxes).

Well then the monopoly still isn&#x27;t bad, because they can still be brought down solely by merit (just that no one have done it yet). Unlike government-enforced monopolies that&#x27;ll stay no matter what they don&#x27;t even have to do R&amp;D.

None of that is defined in POSIX, hence the perceived need for XDG.

Left:<p>Write, eat, brush teeth, scissors, chop vegetables, etc. Basically fine motor skills on the left.<p>Right:<p>Throw a baseball, shoot a basketball, play tennis, etc. Power movements on the right.<p>Could always do some sports lefty, like switch hit in baseball, kick a football (soccer) past half field, or play pool, those kinds of things, but right side has always been stronger.<p>The only sport where I am much better lefty than righty is table tennis -- probably because to play at higher levels you need fine motor skills, not just brute force.
