I think defining art wholly and solely by the intentions (and humanity) of the artist is clear cut at least, but not very illuminating, because for the person experiencing the art these properties are in general unknowable.
100 years hence you find a beautiful image. Is it art? Who knows — we don’t know whether the artist intended it to be, nor whether they were even human.
I don’t know, I’m more concerned with the effect that art has on me than the motivations of the artist (though those can be interesting of course).
For instance I read The Fountainhead as a youth and was moved by it for purely personal (non-political) reasons, and with regards to that experience it doesn’t matter to me what Ayn Rand was on about.
> I’m increasingly convicted there is inherent value in humans doing things
And in many fields I think many (most?) Americans at least would agree with you — there’s some special value in a handmade product, regardless of whether a machine-made equivalent would be technically superior. For instance a leather bag, a wooden chair.
California. But also probably they are counting from first missed payment to actual eviction. Usually you don’t start trying to evict the day after rent was due.
Literally the people this is for are too overweight/overworked/overwhelmed to do enough physical activity to jog a couple of miles. We need all the help we can get!
“The US doesn’t work” can only be taken as rhetorical. Perhaps you feel it doesn’t “work” well, and certainly you’ve identified serious flaws. But it’s still there ticking along… if it doesn’t work then “work” is just shorthand for “work the way I want” which isn’t particularly interesting or useful.
Separately, I’m not sure that US folks are actually any better at accepting the distribution of their taxes far afield than anyone else but I suppose that could make sense.
Mostly things that are very widely used in industry are indeed no longer “in fashion”. Instead they were in fashion and actually proved valuable enough to have staying power (as opposed to most fashionable things that are junk). Charitably, anyway — sometimes it seems you can’t tell why something is still widely used.
Probably the mentioned hooks-based approaches are indeed fashionable now. Remains to be seen whether they’ll stick around.
Cigarettes really aren’t bad for you on a short term basis. So it makes some sense that, while even a modicum of good decision making (courtesy of the mentioned prefrontal cortex) could help you kick smack, deciding to quit smoking due to some nebulous fear of illness decades in the future might prove more challenging.
In my experience most of my state in contexts changes infrequently (auth information, or the “current client” for a dashboard, or whatever), and then local state is sufficient for the rest. The few times I have sufficiently complexity in the “middle” I indeed have been annoyed and had to be careful to avoid over-frequent rerenders.
It’s just rare enough that “prefer contexts” is a good rule. Simpler, easier to understand code, with no Redux nonsense.
It was -15 degrees F the other morning and the inside of my windshield was ice. It took far longer than a minute to clear. Also took far longer than a minute to reach a tolerable temperature, even in decent garb!
That situation was awful. Drawing a connection directly between the two scenarios makes very little sense. The people involved in each event are so far removed as to be entirely causally unrelated.
It’s highly unlikely that there’s some individual out there that’s in charge of both situations, saying “yes we should murder petty criminals, and also let fraudsters fly first class”.
So, yes this dissymmetry is unfair, but it’s also unfair that the sun will eventually expand to swallow the earth, and that’s about as connected to SBF as Garner is.
I would consider localizing for en-US visitors as many will have no idea what you mean by “brackets”.
I would also suggest that you actually make the landing page “work”, whatever that means for your tool, with no extension — on mobile I could not make it do anything at all.
