If you have the freedom try Typescript.
The tsx files are almost identical to jsx except for the need to define the field types your ingesting.
While thats a little extra work, it allows Visual Studio Code to perform deeper analysis and provide much more helpful contextual hints.
I grew to love JSX and tried TSX out of interest and you couldn’t convince to go back to pure JS
My expectation is whatever the solution it needs to dockerise and be really easy to deploy via docker compose or Kubernetes so people can quickly and easily set up their own.
The front end is effectively static files so I would probably choose Apache or Express (whichever gives me a smaller docker image)…
For the backend I would choose Java for Spring Boot. An Alpine image with OpenJDK and the app is tiny. Spring has a library for every kind of interface making them trivial to implement but the main reason is hibernate.
Hibernate (now Spring Data) was the first library for being able to switch out databases without having to change code (its all config). A lot of mastodon instances struggle with the resource requirements of elastic search so letting small instances use something like postgres would seem ideal.
I have noticed Go/Rust still expect you to write or manage a lot of stuff Spring gives away for free. Python is ok if your backend is really tiny but there is a lot of boilerplate in how Python libraries work so complex projects get hard to manage and I assume interacting with the fediverse will add complexity.
Nah Linux Mint is a Kia Ceed.
Ubuntu is a Ford Focus, they successfully stole the volvo estate market (Debian). The car was fun, good value and very practical. It was everywhere. Then Ford started increasing the size, weight, price, etc… killing the point of the Focus.
So along comes Kia trying to make a competitor in the Ceed.
In theory the Ceed is a great car, its super cheap, lots of cabin space, nippy, the inside has every modern convenance, but…
Your left wondering why anyone is bothering with hot hatchbacks these days as you climb into your volvo
Debian would be a Volvo Estate, its the boring practical family choice, the owner is soneone boring like an architect or a financial advisor.
Arch is a Vauxhall Nova, second hand battered owned almost exclusively by teenage lads who spend a lot of time/money modifying it (e.g. lowering so it can’t go over speed bumps, adding a massive exhaust to sound good but destroys engine power).
Fedora is something slightly larger/more expensive like a Ford Focus/VW Golf/Vauxhall Astra owned by slightly older lads. The owners spend their time adding lighting kits and the largest sound systems money can buy.
Slackware is clearly a Subaru Impreza, at one point the best World Rally Car but hasn’t been a contender for a while. Almost all are owned by rally fans who spend fantastic amounts of time tinkering with the car to get set it up an ultimate rally car. None of the owners race cars.
OpenSuse is a Nissan Cube, its insanely practical. It should be the modern boring family choice, but it manages to ve too quirky for your architect while not practical enough for van drivers.
I don’t know the other distros well enough.
I run Debian btw
Lays is called Walkers in the UK and the Sensations brand is still sold.
Here there are in my local supermarket. Personally I prefer the Sensation Thai Sweet Chilli nuts, they are the perfect thing while you wait for food to cook on the BBQ.
You are far worse than the people you are claiming to act against.
Lots of people can feel something is a problem and struggle to articulate it. So you have to take people on a case by case basis.
OP talks about how they feel diverse characters are shoe horned in or badly written. Ask them to provide an example.
When they can’t, then call them out. They are a bigot and deserve scorn.
If they can provide an example, help them understand the issue and use appropriate language.
Calling someone out who genuinely feels there is a problem doesn’t stop them feeling there is a problem. These people will go looking for some who acknowledges their feelings.
Which is how you make a bigot
I think they are saying most attempts at diversity come from middle aged white guys and just end up being poorly done and so detract from the game/story.
Similar to how 00’s electronic companies just painted it pink to appeal to women or why South Park added Token.
So arguing for more diversity within the companies themselves
You seem to be intentionally missing the point, but to reiterate…
You shower before entering a pool to wash the dirt from your body off (your cleaning yourself).
The more of your body covered the less effective that shower is.
Ideally everyone would be naked in the shower, but there are probably outfits which increasingly render the shower less and less effective (e.g. speedos are better than shorts, etc .).
It would not surprise me if a Burkina covered so much that the cleaning shower is rendered pointless
The shower before a pool is to ensure people aren’t entering the pool coated in dirt (e.g. sweat, hair, dead skin, etc…).
The chemicals in a pool are designed to bind to that dirt and kill any bacteria introduced.
There is a limit to the chemicals you can add to a pool (before it hurts humans) and once the amount has activated you need to drain the pool and refill it.
Swimming pools hold crazy amounts of water which is also really expensive to heat up, so pools want to do that as little as possible.
Clothing interfers with cleaning your body, so people entering near fully clothed (e.g. like a Burkina) will likely introduce more dirt into the pool.
That translates into increased costs for swimming pools or pools which maintain the old schedule and just operate unsafely.
This is all based on owning a hot tub and learning how to maintain it.
Hopefully this also explains why it doesn’t matter people enter the sea fully clothed
MBin is a fork by a group who tried to push into KBin but couldn’t. There seems to be at least 4 active committers and stuff gets merged.
You will see a number of the KBin instances moved over https://fedidb.org/software/mbin
The developer behind KBin seems to have issues delegating/accepting contributors.
If you look at the pull requests, most have been unreviewed for months and he tends to regularly push his branches once complete and just merge them in.
That behaviour drove the MBin fork, where 4-5 people were really keen to contribute but were frustrated.
To some extent that would be ok, its his project and if he doesn’t want to encourage contributions that is his decision but…
KBin.social has gotten to the size where it really should have multiple admins (or a paid full time person). Which it doesn’t have.
The developer has also told us he has gone through a divorce, moved into his own place, gotten a full time job and now had surgery.
Thats a lot for any normal person and he is going through that while trying to wear 2 hats (dev & ops) each of which would consume most of your free time.
Personally I moved to kbin.run which is run by one of the MBin devs
It does but for the 90’s/00’s a computer typically meant Windows.
The ops staff would all be ‘Microsoft Certified Engineers’, the project managers had heard of Microsoft FuD about open source and every graduate would have been taught programming via Visual Studio.
Then you have regulatory hurdles, for example in 2010 I was working on an ‘embedded’ platform on a first generation Intel Atom platform. Due to power constraints I suggested we use Linux. It worked brilliantly.
Government regulations required anti virus from an approved list and an OS that had been accredited by a specific body.
The only accredited OS’s were Windows and the approved Anti Viruses only supported Windows. Which is how I got to spend 3 months learning how to cut XP embedded down to nothing.
The team/organisations knowledge is a huge factor but its easy to fall into a trap where no matter what the problem is the solution is X language.
If I have an organisation that knows C# and we need to build a Web Application. I would suggest we need to learn Node.js and Typescript and not invest in a solution that turns C# into web pages.
Technical Leads are not rational beings and lots of software is developed from an emotional stand point.
Engineering is trade offs, every technical decision you make has a pro/con.
What you should do is write out the core requirements/constraints.Then you weigh the choices to select the option that best meets it.
What actually happens is someone really likes X framework, Y programming language or Z methodology and so decides the solution and then looks for reasons to justify it.
Currently the obvious tell is if they pitch Rust. I am not saying Rust is bad, but you’ll notice they will extoll the memory safety or performance and forget about the actual requirements of the project.

So I know thats a joke but…
With Java 11’s inclusion of ‘var’ I have successfully copied JavaScript code into Java without needing to change anything.
I judge the direction Java is going in
Society is complex, visting a country is different from living there an extended period of time and even then even small geographical distances can result in huge changes in culture.
For example if you started in London and travelled the M4 to Bristol and carried on through Newport and then Cardiff. You would find dramatic differences in housing costs, religiousness, sports played (e.g. football to rugby), views on public transport, job market, jobs people work, education level, favourite drinks, marriage, etc…
You could spend 3 months basing yourself in any one of those locations and derive completely different views on what is wrong with the UK.
Which is why the OP brushed this off as nonsense. It also isn’t uncommon for Americans to go somewhere and suggest it would be miles better if it was exactly like the USA, which is why you get the ad hominem.
It would be like a British Tourist suggesting they don’t drink enough larger or accusing themof being savages for putting salt in tea
I thought server side anti cheat was the most effective. Since it can’t be modified by clients and tracks clients for impossible behaviour.
Pirate Trainer & Uru: Ages Beyond Myst
I remember trying Pirate Trainer in a Nvidia game booth when VR was new. It was incredible, years later I get a VR headset and its the free game. I don’t understand how no one has improved upon it.
Uru was the first puzzle game I thought struck a good balance between physical and mental puzzles. They were set at a level that felt challenging but not impossible and laid out so you alternated really nicely. Myst Online actually went backwards in this
I’d actually argue Python stops people learning how to solve problems.
I love teaching juniors and have done so for 10 years but I’ve noticed in the last 4-5 years since Python became the popular choice at universities Graduates aren’t learning anything about Static Types, Memory Management, Object Oriented Programming, Data Encapsulation, Composition, Service Oriented Architecture, etc…
I used to expect most graduates to have a mixed grounding in those concepts and would find excuses for them to work on a small UI projects. I would do this as it gets them used to solving a small problem and UI’s give instant feedback. As Python became dominate university teaching language the graduates aren’t spending their time learning Typescript, Angular, HTML, etc… but instead getting overwhelmed by the concept of types.
Those concepts I want them to learn were created to help make solving problems easier and each has their strengths and weaknesses but most graduates are coming through only knowing how to lay out a small amount of procedural logic using Python and really struggling to move beyond that.
