You're so exhausted! Poor guy!

Got any stats on what percentage of the browser install base has even one extension installed? Then we can come back to your "tHe biGgEsT eXisTenTiAL ThReAt" nonsense.

And how an assumption of malice doesn't make sense when we're talking about the world's biggest ad company doing something in the name of security that happens to cripple ad blockers -- well, suffice to say, you're probably not cut out for journalism.

Now go get some rest?

You think they would actually do that?

Wow, so you believe this is actually being done to protect users from themselves, and not to hamstring adblocking in the future?

I wish I still had that kind of innocence.

Moved off it to Vivaldi, haven't looked back.

More Big Tech protecting us from ourselves. Awesome.

Yep, exactly my interpretation. And I agree with GP about the harm of those circuses. It's diversion-by-division.

Can you set a breakpoint in CLJS code within your editor? Can you instrument a CLJS function, call it and do step-by-step debugging like in CIDER or Cursive for clojure?

Sure, I understand. But that's several orders of magnitude less useful than what one gets in eg the chrome devtools console from a CLJS webapp.

I found this to be a major timesink when debugging things, and never came up with a good bulletproof solution to automate this traversal. It was especially painful with random breakages due to NPM's automatic dependency/transitive dependency upgrades due to version ranges (ie, things that don't just fix themselves by checking out a previous known good version).

Do you know if shadow-cljs support source maps for React Native? (Their absence was a really significant pain point when I worked on a production CLJS/RN app.)

My impression is that CLJS, while an amazing way to write frontends with react, suffered from an incomplete/fractured tooling ecosystem, with the official maintainers leaning on the community to develop the 'batteries' and several good but incomplete and unofficial solutions being offered (lein-cljsbuild, figwheel, boot, etc).

I'm not actively involved with CLJS development anymore but last I checked that still continued, with tools like figwheel/deps.edn/shadow-cljs all sort of doing similar things differently, and there being good-but-not-as-good-as-clojure support in different editors like emacs, intellij and vscode. Similarly, there were a number of different, but still alpha quality ways, to use cljs with react native, all suffering from some major pain points.

Thanks for sharing those. While encouraging, the first obvious issue is that "reduce" != "prevent". There's also the related issue of how long that partial immunity lasts: I think the conventional wisdom is that it won't be for decades or anything, but would love to know if I'm wrong.

Both of those factors make COVID vaccination quite different from, say, measles vaccination (~97% prevention, lifelong immunity), and seemingly more similar to the flu vaccine, which is not required by any schools (that I know of).

Does COVID vaccination prevent infection and transmission?

Great summary of the problematic aspects of each of these approaches!

yeah, I wish there was something with a similarly smooth UI that could do custodial accounts for children

Now do housing

Pretty sure the existing system of capitalism and Democracy is undermining confidence in itself.

Bitcoin just provides a hedge.

Author seems to doubt the poet's story but I'd heard about things like this myself and found this, from the same time period and part of the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirov_wolf_attacks

In my condo, there's a bylaw that new owners must occupy the unit for one year, in order to discourage speculators and try to maintain a high percentage of owner occupation. While there are definitely efforts to skirt it, it does seem to mostly work.

Imagine if entire neighborhoods could create such ordinances. Prices would surely begin to trend downward, providing access to home ownership in desirable areas, allowing those with normal incomes to purchase starter property and begin families.

I wonder why this isn't ever discussed.

Yeah, speculators/investors are winning for sure:

Not sure that's a major problem? Predators are generally the animals with the larger territorial requirements for a home range, and thus more reliant on the presence of these corridors to feed and disperse into new territory.

So just imagine their kids...

I find this a little disingenuous, since React and React Native documentation rarely if ever feature code examples in any actual flavor of standard JavaScript and the 'blessed' way of writing React app involves quite a bit of embedded XML (JSX), which editors need to know how to deal with.

Paging Ringo Starr...

When the demo embedded in a fundraising pitch supports Emacs keybindings, I donate. Simple as that.

Right, then you basically lose caching, since the everything's-a-POST requests would go to the wire every time. Not that I haven't considered making that trade-off.

Limited error handling mechanism in Apollo and our backend GraphQL library means I can't use then/catch to reliably handle both network and server errors. Apollo also hijacks state management and somehow decides when to fetch over the network or render a cached response, with no particular logic I can deduce or find documentation for. Then there's the thousand lines of repetitive query code that is a joy to read/write/manage.

I <3 this comment.

How I _wish_ I could nope the hell out of our GraphQL dependency, for the reasons listed and for the frighteningly complex client libs we have to use to consume it, rather than straight up ajax/fetch.

Having to use something like Redux, conceptually solid but so full of boilerplate, instead of re-frame is kind of like having to use Java at work instead of Clojure.

Some of us are just lucky, I guess.

Source?

Did you blog/gist that example, by any chance?
