Huh? This is an issue affecting backend JS. We are discussing front end applications.

Install a CSP and you’re done? (assuming we’re talking about front end code)

I just don’t see how this matters. Looking at it this way is just not interesting. This is the whole point of dependency management: making dependencies so easy that this sort of thing happens. One must ask: what’s the dependency graph for the complete build, after tree shaking etc. it’s definitely not thousands of modules. And if so—so what?? That’s the whole point!!

The real issue is security, but that’s another issue. It’s remarkable you can just push code to npm without signing it. Every time I push a commit to GitHub and then release it on npm it really gives me the creeps. Fortunately we have CSPs.

"Common"? Like you can actually just transform differentiated cells into stems cells into other differentiated cells willy-nilly? I thought this was still being worked on.

As of when?

Much more power. I used an Air, on principle, for way too long. A very old Air at that. It was stupid of me. I got a beefy late-2015 MPB, the last model with the ports, and it was life changing. I then tried a 2016 (I think) new style MBP and it was even better. It was as light as my old air, but with the MBP specs. Liked it, but it was just a loaner so I had to return it.

I don’t! I love the new form factor, the new keyboard, and I don’t need ports I use once a month, if ever, to create clutter on my machine. Those few MMs are huge savings. I love the new style pro. Looking forward to a bigger model and especially LOWER PRICES, which they’ll hopefully do. The prices are a bit outrageous and dont signal an intent to movie inventory, which hopefully now will change that the iPhone is stumbling. Though, maybe not, since the iPhone may recover.

Better get on this train because 10 years after undergraduate I can say it seems that’s all there is out there. Once you make it then maybe you don’t have to be full of sh but I don’t see people making it on merit unless they’re Albert Einstein.

Processing data from format to format is a total drag to me. I just can't do it.

Ideology triumphs over reason.

Big loser here is New York City.

Amazon will get its tax break somewhere else.

Right, Postgres is better than document stores, but is it actually pleasant to store your data in square tables and then process it to runtime objects from that? Even with battle tested ORMs, it’s never felt right for me.

I’ve never enjoyed Mongo for a second, not conceptually, not practically.

But I don’t understand the people who act like Postgres is the end of everything. SQL never felt right for me either. It’s a fine language for business analysis, I guess, but is it actually pleasant for development? Do all of you who so enthusiastically post that it should be the first tool you reach for really never experience object-relational impedance? Do you really enjoy modeling like this?

Great write-up, thanks for sharing your real-world experience.

If he bought the second leg in advance, doesn’t it show that he entered the first contract in bad faith, against their terms of service?

Personally I don’t get the whole concept of suing your customers. I would just ban him if I was Lufthansa.

If you can’t read the ToS you are not qualified to participate in society at the level required to distribute software for people to use. There are other tests, but this is one of them.

China isn’t the United States. If you think they’re the same...

I guess I just mean wiring. Recompose eliminates the need to do any wiring at all. You compose up your component, and then you have access to all those props without having wired them! The last thing I want to do is get the context API involved.

yep. Or even just some blog posts or whatever. Git is the worst-presented tool I think, it’s a shame.

Not to be that guy but: git log -p $file. Works great IMO.

Fun approach! But I don’t think that’s it? Just not the same kind of zero-effort awesomeness right? Also uses the context API for something it’s not intended for.

One thing I can’t figure out in hooks vs recompose is how to use them and avoid props drilling or even just basic wiring. One of the most glorious things about recompose is that the props are drilled/wired for you automatically. This turns out to be huge for me. I had so much tedious props drilling code that just went away with recompose. Anyone have any insight?

Great class if you are into the Bible: https://oyc.yale.edu/religious-studies/rlst-145. I just listened to it like a podcast.

Basic premise: it is undignified and immoral to buy things from people who labor tremendously and still live at a different standard of living, and to give those things for free to people here, at our standard of living. That just strikes me as incredibly twisted and immoral.

Imagine the look of those people in China who have to work to produce Tracfones, if they saw their Tracfone just given out to someone here for free, who didn't do anything to earn it? Imagine how they would feel? That feeling is not about revenge, it's about you denying them basic dignity. You're saying to him or her: you're a Chinaman, you have to do work, but we just take your work and give it to people for free. They must be better than you! They don't have to do anything because they're American. But you, you're just an inferior person from China so you have to work.

That's a brutal injustice in my opinion.

No I’m saying that things don’t fall from the sky. People make everything, and basic human dignity and justice demands that no one is just entitled to the fruits of someone else’s labor.

The revenge tack you take is also misguided. This is all about basic human dignity and people feeling like they deserve all this stuff from workers the world over, just because they live in a first world country. Or just because they live period. Being alive doesn’t entitle you to anything, and that’s probably where we disagree, because my guess is you think being alive entitles you to health care, and food and housing. But if that was true, and everyone took that entitlement, then where would all the actual stuff come from? Where? As I said, it’s the height of privilege to act like these things are human rights, because in doing so, you deny the workers who actually produce things common, basic dignity and equality.

You won’t shame me. You can’t make me feel ashamed of my father, who got my family out of poverty and didn’t even know how to order a beer or a meal at a restaurant until he was 55 because that’s just not how we spent money. Your perspective is rooted in the heights of privilege and entitlement, wherein first world people can live cozy secure lives, entitled to leisure and “hobbies” on the backs of second and third worlders who facelessly supply us cheap goods that our rich should provision for us just because we live in a country that enslaves the world’s poor. That “hobbies” and “leisure” as a human right doesn’t give you pause is disturbing, because if you don’t earn your hobbies and leisure and expect them anyway, you’re a piece of work given what goes on in the world to make our leisure possible. Americans live in a Disney fairyland created by Ronald Reagan and the 1980s. Why should poor people in America be entitled to 50,000 USD when people who work and create the things these poor people say they absolutely need to consume make 5,000 USD. What haught, what arrogance. What willful ignorance. That’s what’s disgusting.

It's remarkable this isn't the subject of discussion ever. I'm not saying this would lead to anything productive, but at the same time, it's at the absolute core of the problem.

Kids have massive purchasing power, a fact which was discovered by marketers in the 50s and cultivated extensively since then. Marketers back to then discovered they could actually market directly to kids, which wasn’t a thing before and something people take for granted now. In American households kids drive massive percentages of household spending, not just indirectly but directly as well.

> Kids have no value in a market economy until they have purchase power

Market economies are based entirely on investment. Market economies value investment and therefore kids. If people aren’t investing in kids, it’s because of market economy? as a matter of fact Americans invest tons of money in early childhood education and their children at an early age. It’s an American obsession. The problem is that outcomes have little to do with dollars invested. American culture at this point has devolved into pseudo fascist corporation and leisure identity worship, so people don’t even know what education is. Being a “geek” in America now means you watch tv and play video games. Buying your kid a tablet and plopping then down with some STEM edutainment software isn’t education. It’s just unfortunate, miguided ignorance, and we get what we pay for.

But you use her in logic based arguments and then appeal to emotion so.... which is it?

Your gripe shouldn’t be with rich people, it should be with Americans en masse, who yelled and screamed all Sunday night in my apartment building about grown men running into each other on TV with such a passion you’d think they were educating their children. And then they’re poor? Boo hoo. Maybe if Americans cared about education, showed passion for it like they do about Football, I would understand. You get paid 3x your wife because Americans care about what you produce, and they don't care about what she produces.

It’s easy to soak the rich but take a look around you, people prioritize everything except the one thing that matters: education.

I sincerely wish that everyone who wanted socialism just went to a socialist country instead of trying to import it here, and I really appreciate that you did. Thank you! We can admire and appreciate each other from afar. (100% genuine, well intended comment here). My family came to the US from a socialist country, seeking freedom and capitalism. I have no idea what to do now that socialism is arriving here.

Teaching is a straw man. Teachers get paid poorly because (1) Americans don’t actually care about education, as evidenced by the amount teachers make, and (2) it’s a government-based monopoly that prioritizes “benefits” and graft (tenure, etc) over salary
