It is 2024... how are people still credulously using DiscloseTV as a source? It's not about political inclination but rather that there's no reason to keep trusting a source that has lied repeatedly, sensationalized repeatedly, an

The replies to this post are, unfortunately, very indicative of the negative side of the "(pseudo-)engineering mindset", which is rather close to the model-constructing mindset inherited from economics (reductionism, hiding any va

The answer here is to make getting a government issued ID a straightforward matter and a national priority. I cannot think of another significant country that hasn't had this figured out for decades.

Yeah I do see why they don't want to do it and I see it as a critical failure of risk management. If you think pinning your entire product on a cross platform UI kit when every single one (except maybe QT) had proven a failure... then

Flutter is really not some big revelation and it's always shocking to me how it's evangelists act like it's the game changer no one else has noticed. It's just not that good? Just build native UIs. I don't know why

Arbitrary unions of literals as types have been done before dynamically (Lisps, Prologs, Erlang) and done elsewhere statically(Python). The more distinctive features in TypeScript would be what you can to with keyof/typeof, indexed acc
