Webpack does way more than esbuild, including running a typechecking compiler instead of just transpiling, running compilers able to downlevel emit to ES5 and providing a deep plugin architecture allowing you to hook into any bit you like.

I just wanted to add - for anyone that thinks the spread of viral false information isn't just as serious of a problem as lack of free speach is, I invite you to read this story https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1

And this way, they risk running afoul false advertising and class action lawsuits. Its not mentioned anywhere that the phone becomes dangerous to use after 3 years.

62x improvement is not achievable. 6.2x might be. edit: I see they are running it with 8 threads, in which case yes 50x is achievable. In any sizable codebase though, you should probably split into modules and run with some parallelism via

The good thing is you have a ton of code on the Internet to use to test it. Unlike a dynamic language reimplementation, a static language transpiler can check if the results produced are identical to `tsc`

I have some hope based on the development of awareness of "yellow press" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yellow_journalism ). I don't see another solution that can reach "both sides".

This article is only half-right. Some of the other things you don't see because the algorithm doesn't promote them are: - scientists and educators that make 1 hour long videos to explain how something is incorrect. Example: https

The thing I find most baffling is that we have very good reason to believe [1] that HEPA air purifiers can keep the air clear of the virus, and yet they are barely talked about. In the UK we're still waiting on results from trials in s

You are right. The output they work towards is a longer lasting item (system).

The more likely explanation is that they originally formed teams to address this problem, teams that are now left with a choice between twiddling their thumbs and this.

I've never seen anyone have such strong opinions that seem to completely clash with what I have experienced reality to be. I'd love to see someone that says this take their own advice and build a business based on those principles

In my experience thats not true, but it does take education and cultural change to get there.

Recursive replacement is somewhat of a WTF yes but not really in a causitive relationship ro this vulnerability, right? The main cause is the order in which ${} variables are evaluated. They are evaluated after substitution of `{}` in the f

Don't see why not. Evaluate the `${}` stuff first, then do the `{}` substitutions.

Given that this appears to be a page about a frequently asked question, I guess they have at least one.

There is, if you - don't focus on what their news sources are saying but instead - you focus on why the old way is bad in general (across both left and right news media). Thats the new message. Not "your news sources are bad"

Please, read the rest of my comment. The idea isn't to focus on any individual bit of misinformation. Its to throw away the whole thing, conceptually, as a bad way of getting information, as a low quality source of it. It might have to

You do realize that social media is responsible for quite a few of the problems we have had during the pandemic? People are dying because of social-media-amplified misinformation: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1460

Right, except now its not just pathological aspects of capitalism causing the problem - its democratized. Now everyone can misinterpret papers in novel an exciting ways that are likely to spread far and wide.

Lots of things will need to happen, I agree. One thing that is happening is that social media is escalating the problem so much that its becoming visible to everyone, which in turn will increase the demand to do something about information

We should have (software) systems that amplify our strengths and help us deal with our flaws, not the other way around.

Yes. While that situation was bad, it was not nearly as bad as the completely out of control results we get from social media. I actually think there is a great opportunity here to fix this problem as SM has made it painfully obvious and vi
