Nebula is such a streaming service. From what I understand, they are a subscription based company that has a profit share incentive for it's creators. Consequently, the creators skew toward educational-esque content.
My own tin foil hat theory is that "state" in that usage entered into common English use (in U.S.) because of foreign actors. Rush Limbaugh, et al. have been talking about "deep state" long before it entered common use around the 2020 election.
Htmx posits that current browsers aren't "truly" hypermedia since only anchor tags and forms can initiate GET/POST requests. It is more of a tech demo showing what client with ANY tag being able to do requests would look like.
That's why whether it is library/framework is besides the point. The author posits that these features should be in the spec, and tries as closely as possible to show what something might look like if we had it in the spec
Anectdotal: I got a raise after two years working for my current company. It's nice, to be sure, but it doesn't cover inflation according to the BLS inflation calculator.
You can ignore new terms if you wish, but it is useful for describing a common street pattern in North America. The term is increasingly being used by urban planners.
I've spoken to my friends on how right-on-red is one of the most anti-pedestrian rules of the street that exist. It was like pulling nails trying to convince them that the added convenience for motorists is not worth the increased danger to pedestrians... I live in the city, they in the suburbs. It's not that they are uncaring (well, not directly) it is just that for many people, imagining a lifestyle different from theirs is very difficult.
I'm convinced that North America will only get its act together when gasoline reaches $9.00/gal. Only then will middle class folks start looking toward city living and only then will we get any appreciable progress in city life. I only hope that we reach that point BEFORE the climate catastrophe worsens beyond repair. The fracking boom doesn't have me very confident of this.
To whatever extent this article is true suggests that the way to convince people of certain positions is to hook them via peripheral route, but then keep them there via the central route.
If the position is such that any central route reasoning would lead to a rejection of the position, than the next best option is to overwhelm the critical faculties with peripheral route persuasion
I did this by mistake. Got hired as a QA, transferred to dev in six months. I wouldn't technically qualify for similar roles in my company were I to apply from the outside.
As we discuss this topic, can we keep a few things in mind?
Density does not mean Manhattan levels of density. Manhattan has 28,000/km^2, Atlanta has 3,500/km^2. That's an order of magnitude difference.
I mean this with all of the respect I can muster. If your first thought is "I prefer to live in a rural space where my nearest neighbor is half a kilometer away" Congratulations. You live in a RURAL place, this does not apply to you. In fact, you should be cheering for denser living spaces. It is not the five-over-ones that are taking over the precious rural landscapes, but the endless sea of concrete and asphalt that is suburban living.
To non-North Americans. The standard U.S. and Canada experience of "living" in a city, is you live in a quarter acre of land in a winding suburb where it's at least half a kilometer to get out of your neighborhood onto the local collector. It's going to take you at least another half kilometer to make it to the arterial that takes you to the giant box store that has a bunch of stuff you need.
It is impossible for a plurality of people in North America to get the basic necessities without a car, let alone any other niceties.
Wrong abstractions start off as right abstractions and slowly become wrong abstractions. What's the point in which a right abstractions becomes a wrong abstraction? Am I sure I can identify that point? Can someone else? Can someone else which has no knowledge of the original assumptions that were implied during the initial abstraction?
There are two kinds of abstractions in your, the ones everyone complains about and the ones that no one has ever seen.
My rule of thumb is thus: Have I repeated myself three times doing the EXACT same thing? Then CONSIDER abstracting away. Otherwise, make as many implicit dependencies explicit as possible and slightly keep repeating yourself until you are exactly repeating yourself
