I too don't use half the things mentioned in the project's documentation but I know what they all are, the ecosystem isn't that big.

I'd be really interested to hear what stack you use to develop websites.

I can only assume you're not a web developer? Because just the title of the post makes it clear to pretty much any web dev what this is. The package introduction sections accessible in one click are also very clear and concise.

I noticed another user has already commented, sounds like they've had more experience with the things you're interested in than I have, for FWIW, the APIs have been sufficient for my use cases and you can definitely purge a pullzone's cache with them.

My primary use has been for serving image assets, switched over from Cloudfront and have seen probably a >80% cost reduction, and no noticeable performance reduction, but as I mentioned I'm operating at a scale where milliseconds of difference don't mean much.

Appreciate you taking part in the conversation. So often people complain about companies not communicating like humans, but when they do people almost seem to get more pissed off. You can't win really.

Good and clear explanation. This is a risk you take when you use a CDN, I still think the benefits outweigh the occasional downtime. I'm a big fan of BunnyCDN, they've saved me a lot of money over the past few years.

I'm sure I'd be fuming if I worked at some multi-million dollar company but as someone that mainly works for smaller businesses it's not the end of the world, I suspect most of my clients haven't even noticed yet.

I found it useful. "Being in sales" is a moral grey area for a lot of us, so it's interesting to see the response when someone indirectly challenges those that don't share that viewpoint.

Isn't Vue like 13kb? By what measure is that considered big?

Not exactly surprising given the ubiquity of the English language. I always find it funny how it's used as a criticism of English speakers. We are no less able to learn other languages, it's just far less of a necessity. I can speak a bit of German, a bit of French, a bit of Japanese, a bit of Lingala, etc. Inevitably whenever I attempt to speak these languages in their native environments, I am spoken to in English. So I can learn them as a hobby but need to far less out of necessity.

That's funny, I always think of the house in My Neighbour Totoro as probably the most idyllic place I could imagine. I'd swap my place in relatively central London for it in a heartbeat.

I readily accept that the reality is harrowing, but I don't agree that just sharing information about some potentially immoral thing is anything like the pursuit of some state of moral purity. Is it not better that individuals try to make supposed moral decisions where possible, even if they ultimately fall short?

It seems that in order to function one must come to terms with the fact that existence is a moral balancing act and that we all do immoral things. I accept that I own many things that likely caused others suffering. I have had a fascination with the DRC for a number of years and am acutely aware of what goes on there, yet I bought a new phone last year and a laptop the year before that. I accept the hypocrisy. But I am still glad people share information about what happens there. Whilst most of us will ignore it, some person or people better than me may be able to use that information to enact some positive change. At least the conversation can occur.

It is also a harsh reality that the less abstracted the situation, the easier it is for humans to face up to their own sense of morality. For whatever reason having intimate knowledge of a person is more impactful than hearing that an item you purchased was manufactured using some material that was mined by a nameless individual thousands of miles away. Right or wrong, we attach more weight to our judgements of others when a more direct connection can be made. It seems to me unrealistic to ignore that humans operate in this way.

Ultimately the intention of my original comment was not to tell people what to do, nor to judge, nor to demonstrate virtue. I was just sharing information so others could also make an informed decision. I chose not to watch his channel based on my own personal moral compass and my own boundaries of inconvenience.

Just a friendly heads up: I used to be a huge fan of this YT channel until I saw some pretty damning evidence that the guy is a predatory sex tourist/pick up artist. I really enjoyed the content (the editing is a breath of fresh air on YT), but ultimately unsubbed and stopped watching. I'd encourage others to look into it and make your own judgement, of course.

Good article, articulated a lot of my own feelings on the subject.

The only part I can never quite get my head around is having multiple offers at once. It takes me months if not years to find a company I actually want to work for. The chance of finding many hiring for a suitable position—let alone receiving offers almost simultaneously—seems miniscule.

I feel like these types of articles assume everyone has a sort of drag net approach to finding employment, but my own approach is more like fly fishing (pardon the analogy). I feel like I've been successful in the past because I can explain exactly why I've applied for the specific position. I suppose this must be atypical, perhaps I'm a terrible negotiator.

I built an ecommerce website recently with a terminal of sorts. You can list and add products to your cart using commands. Alas the platform it's built on (Shopify) doesn't have an API for checking out/taking payments otherwise I'd probably have built an installable CLI as a bit of fun.

I really despise the term "inclusivity". This guy seems like a prick but I wish companies would be honest about what they are doing. "Inclusivity" means getting everyone to subscribe to a narrow corporate worldview. "Diversity" is similar, it's not about diversity of thought or experience, but rather of immutable characteristics which have no inherent value.

I was recently asked to participate in a "community diversity and inclusivity survey". Not one question was concerned with freedom of expression or diversity of thought. It seems immutable characteristics are of paramount importance, or rather cynically, perhaps just the optics of their proportions are a valuable commodity. In a corporate setting neither inclusivity or diversity are at all what they purport to be.

I've tried to read about prions a few times and never really grasped the mechanism, so this was a really informative explanation, thank you.

I draw the line in that I don't eat anything with a central nervous system. I don't doubt a biologist might make me reconsider my understanding of a CNS, but I've always found it a clear line for me personally.

Another example in the retro style: https://based.gg

Salaries are operating expenses, so if a company makes £1,000 revenue and pays £1,000 in salaries to its staff, it makes £0 profit.

I think shame is a really useful thing in the context of society and something I feel a lot of Western cultures would benefit from. I've never understood the "don't X shame me" thing, there are a huge number of things that people should feel shame for that I think western societies have normalised.

I haven't lived in Japan but I've spent a considerable amount of time there. I accept that Japanese people are much more socially conformist, but it's interesting from a visitor's perspective as I've always felt the cities there feel a lot less homogenised in a lot of ways. Tokyo has always felt far more of a city of people doing interesting and creative things than London, to me at least.

I don't think it's achievable, most people would rather not inconvenience themselves, but why is not a reasonable thing to consider? It's stupidly easy to be vegan in a first world country.

> The people who committed those atrocities were human beings with full agency, not infants, not subhumans, and they alone bear the overwhelming responsibility for their actions.

I'm not sure if you intended to reply to my comment, but I can't say I disagree with that statement. I was responding to this comment by the parent poster, which surely deserves the same derision as that given to those you accuse of misapplication of blame:

> So, we speak about people who decided one day to kill their neighbours with machete. France and the French have nothing to do about it whatsoever.

You seem to be quite unaware of the facts of the genocide.

France directly aided the Hutu government because they were worried about Anglophone influence in the region. Both before, during and after the genocide, France helped the perpetrators. Even their "humanitarian" efforts were largely skewed towards helping Hutus. When the French and Belgians were busy evacuating their own expatriates, they refused to help any Tutsis, even spouses. They did help evacuate Hutus.

France supplied arms to the Interahamwe for Gods sake. The people that slaughtered women and babies, who skewered heads on spikes, threw grenades into churches full of innocent people and literally gang raped women to death.

I am strongly against historical revisionism and this recent obsession with holding current generations accountable for actions that occurred hundreds of years ago, but this is not either of those things.

The genocide was unimaginably horrific and France's complicity is well documented. It also happened less than three decades ago. This has nothing to do with patriotism, and France should feel immense shame for how it acted in Rwanda.

I think that is extremely unlikely.

Another referendum anytime soon would be a political nightmare for both Labour and the Tories, it's such a contentious issue that they're both better off avoiding it. The only parties seriously advocating for rejoining are either full of nutters (Greens, unfortunately) or increasingly losing touch with reality to the point of irrelevance (Lib Dems).

Things may change a lot over the next few years, but I suspect people will become increasingly apathetic towards the issue as time passes and people realise Brexit isn't exactly the apocalypse that was described by most of the media here.

I would bet good money that before 2016, ~90% of people in the UK—remainers and leavers both—couldn't have named a single MEP other than Farage. I suspect the vast majority will revert to their pre-referendum state of political indifference. Rejoining would be immensely complicated, people will just not have the appetite for it.

It's not exactly helpful to be a contrarian about every action of a government (by the way, the "English government" doesn't exist) because they haven't implemented the specifics of your personal political agenda.

The problem with being so blinded by hatred towards an entity is that you attribute malevolence to their every action and fail to consider things objectively. The government have pardoned him, the prime minister has issued an official apology, we are now celebrating him in multiple extremely prominent ways, which can only lead to more people learning about both his achievements and the injustices committed against him. Your reaction is to call that "a disgrace".

The prime minister issued an apology over a decade ago.

Please stop spreading misinformation. You may feel passionate about an issue for whatever reason, that's not an excuse to lie.

I'm really enjoying front-end work at the moment. I've used Vite/esbuild for a few projects so far and it's a huge step forward, and I'm really excited by this hybrid SSG/SSR approach that SvelteKit is offering, especially as it's "official".

I've been primarily a Vue dev for quite a few years and never really considered investing much time in other emerging frameworks, but I'm very tempted to seriously dive into Svelte at this point.

JS/front-end often gets a bad rap on HN. I see complaints that things have become unnecessarily complicated or that all these frameworks are overkill, but I can build pretty complex, well structured applications with relative ease these days, and I have way more fun doing it, most of the time. I suppose I owe a lot to people like Rich Harris and Evan You who are genuinely making the work I do more enjoyable. Looking forward to trying this out.

I recently chose to sign a CLA for an MR I wanted to make to a commercial entity's SDK. The feature I added will enable me to build a product and potential revenue stream. I could have forked the project and maintained my own version, but I'd rather do the work for free and have someone else maintain the library going forward. I don't care about who owns or has access to the the work I did in this instance, so I was comfortable with signing it.

Where do we find this extra space?

This is false. The €336m was a down payment to AZ for 400m doses, not funding for development. It was agreed in August after protracted negotiations as the EU demanded a lower price.

Because it reduces transmissibility.
