Great read. Stories like this put in perspective people that are moaning about tech debt... by which they mean some functions written a year ago in a style they dislike.

This stigma is so weird. My first car was Plymouth Voyager and I loved that I can haul a bunch of friends on a hike or I could do a road trip and comfortably sleep in it. My friend had Mazda MPV which was 4x4 and even better. Now being olde

The wokeness of US colleges is stupid and the Hamas support is shameful but overblown. Comparing the current affairs to pre Nazi Germany is ludicrous fear mongering. Politics belong to the universities because politics belong to life and se

It's very hard to judge someone young and naive in the 50s from today's point of view. On the other hand, Kundera was an intellectual. For some uneducated it could have been waved away as nescience, but not for him. The criminal n

To me, Kundera is a better writer. Havel is a better thinker and better person overall.

I am honestly surprised you don't recognize one of the biggest players in LLM (Mistral) and on the web (Vercel). But looking at your comment history you do seem to have broader text comprehension problems, I think you should try LLMs,

Look, you might start getting the inequality concept. Although the absolute wealth of poor might have improved since 1900, people can still be angry that someone is extracting disproportionate amount from the system while their situation is

There's definitely a factor of diverting the anger from the class issue to race and cultural wars. But happy, well off people wouldn't be angry in the first place. Same story as in plantation times: Make the white servants feel su

I know US history education isn't greatest but you might have heard about French revolution, rise of Nazism or various communism uprisings, Mexican revolution in 1910s. With better outcomes for society: labor movement at the turn of ce

Inequality is usually measured by Gini index and a quick search will indeed tell you that inequality rose since 2000 in USA. Inequality gives rise to populism and extremism all the way up to civil unrest. If the middle class ignores the woe

Would native English speaker say that? Gas as throttle is common in Dutch, German, Czech and many other languages but I haven't seen it in English. "Put the pedal to the metal" is afaik more idiomatic.

Today's billionaires are comical man-childs. Rockefeller and Carnegie might have been horrible people as well but at least they left a charitable legacy. Props to Bill Gates, looks like Bezos vows to give away the wealth as well. Even

I am not saying those regions only have bad people. Lots of good people, just some bad apples. But in USA you usually get whole families and not a bunch of young single men. That's one factor that de-risks the integration. The second f

I am risking getting flagged to oblivion but I perceive that there are immigrants that integrate better than others. Asians and south Americans integrate well. Not just in USA, in Europe as well. My country accepted over 500k of Ukrainian r

I agree that there is a lot of room for improvement. However, proper internationalization is extremely hard and costly. There are soo many languages on the planet and lot of them are quite quirky, my native language is one of them. For exam

Carbon is created by nuclear fusion in stars. Thus, something has to perish for carbon to appear. Carbon is also mostly found as compounds in the universe, not as elemental form. Indeed, if carbon was stable as argon, there would be no life

The whole universe runs on decay & arise of the new. From stars through chemical compounds through cells to us humans. If the rotating cloud of gas and dust stayed forever, there would be no Earth. If the chemical compounds would be sup

As the civilization progresses, people should be _allowed_ to work less. Workers from the fin-de-siècle will be appalled that we still work 8 hours a day and average real wages stagnate since 1970s despite all the tech and effectivity impro

We are at a point in history that many people can live up to the natural limits of human body. They don't die during childbirth or as very young children, because of bad sanitization or through unlucky sickness. Those improvements in h

Now I've read the section about airbnb. I am sorry to be part of the problem but for someone from the other side of the world it's really hard to book with sth else. You should work with town council to regulate & tax airbns,

What a chance! Greyton was one of our favourite spots on the SA road trip. I randomly picked some airbnb I liked on the route and that's how we ended up there. We were surprised how charming little town we found. Sadly we didn't h

Hugs to you brother. I am in exactly same boat. The encapsulation coming with shadow DOM can be done in other ways (CSS modules) so light DOM seems a like saner approach... but then you lose the slots and they are must have for any composab

Imho same problem as eval and on top of that it creates the function only in the global scope. Honestly it's a construct I've never seen out in the wild so I am not an expert.
