Is this just for PR/show and the real entropy generator is standardized across sites to be something boring in some back room? Or if a terrorist came in and cut power to a chaos wall would it really cause an extended outage?

Overly expressive type systems have way more potential for footguns than simple type systems. In fact, I would say that overly expressive type systems make it easy to create unmaintainable code (still waiting on this showstopping bug which

This is great news. We actually use esbuild most of the time to transpile TS files because tsc is so slow (and only run tsc in CI/CD pipelines). Coincidentally, esbuild is also golang

Since the new tsc is written in go, will I be able to pull it into my go web server as a middleware to dynamically transpile ts?

That hasn't been my experience. Depends on the caching mechanism used I guess, but if you bake cache busting directly into the URI like I do (i.e. there's a hash digest in the path), the browser doesn't need to make any addit

If you use vanilla JS modules you can get away with no bundlers at all which greatly simplifies web projects. import statements "just work" in browsers, and caching of shared modules means you don't need fancy things like chu

social security/labor and medicaid/health are the biggest pieces of the pie in terms of budget though. You could cut defense to zero and still have a deficit > ~1T. Clearly they are not sustainable in their current state.

by umvi 2y ago
Defense, social security, Medicaid should all have high scrutiny, but that would be unpopular so neither party will touch those; thus, serious deficit reduction won't happen because doing so requires making unpopular decisions

I have a pet theory that love is a basic human need (and a requirement for good mental health), and governments are notoriously bad at providing love no matter how much money you throw at mental health therapy, treatment programs, UBI, etc.

100% agree, though I think people would scream just as much (if not more) if DOGE were going after social security, medicaid, and/or defense vs. psuedorandom federal programs/orgs. I currently think we need "all of the above&
