I see a lot of hate on Lua here. Anecdotal but I never wrote any plugins in vimscript. Since moving to Lua a week ago i’ve already written one, and will continue to where I find a use case. Vimscript sucks, using Lua will make it easier for

I like this idea and want to keep up with it. The only that would hold me back is that I feel spoiled writing JSX, I just think it's such a nice way to write the front-end within the javascript. If you could get JSX like syntax in Rust

I’m not sure the US has been applying what we’ve learned, if we’ve learned anything at all. There’s no follow through on restrictions, people have been travelling and partying, etc... Hospitals are still overwhelmed in some cities, health

Excuses like “protectng human life in the face of uncertainty” seem valid. History should look back more fondly on someone who tried to save lives in the face of unknowns rather than gamble them. Not to mention there is a gray are. You be a

I've really wanted to use Esbuild in my projects but I haven't figured out a great way to get the desired functionality I want: I'd like to be able to transpile my code but keep the same directory structure in the output. For

This entire take is predicated on the idea that the people in power have something to gain from doing this, since it requires the ruling class to do all of these things. It falls completely flat if you think about the logic beyond trying to

The numbers I saw were around 21 billion in profits with around 800k employees. Correct me if I’m wrong on those, but that’s more than 1000/employee.

If being one of the most successful businesses in the world means you can’t pay your employees a living wage, then I think there’s a fundamental problem. That’s also context.

You completely missed the point. The point is that your approach is self-centered and focused on how you will react to the virus. It’s never been about you, it’s about being a vector of transmission. The more risk you take, the more chance

This is a ridiculous post. It’s not about _you_, it’s about vulnerable people who you were willingly becoming a vector of infection for. Your friend who recommended “not to go out and get it, but it isn’t that bad” doesn’t know if they gave

Provide evidence it won’t scale? That kind of defeatist attitude won’t help either. You can’t create a systemic problem like this and then just shrug and say “it’s gotten too big we can’t stop it now”.

I had a similar impression that the prose was over the top in some sense, but then again the site is LitHub so it makes sense.

Well workers unions represent the workers more directly than the government does, and specifically for that workplace.

I think people are more trying to outline the difference in response, not calling for escalation. I think most people would want to see de-escalation in both cases. The point is more that the responses are clearly unequal.
