>I have 6 APs in my home running WiFi 5(AC). My devices usually connect between ~800-1300 mbps.
I think you've answered your own question there. If you need to set up 6 APs as a mesh network to get good performance, the technology can be improved.
We were running a single AP, as most consumers do, and getting closer to 50Mbps with occasional dropouts at the other end of the house.
Serviceable, but far from the ideal of "set and forget".
Well the technology isn't getting all that much better for a single access point deployment unless you're sitting relatively close to it. Mesh networking setups at least dramatically cut deployment costs for multi-AP setups.
There's an argument to be made for writing functions like `isEven` and using them instead of n%2. There's an argument that the JS standard library, or other comprehensive util libraries like Lodash or Underscore should include these functions.
The problem here is introducing separate dependencies for each of these tiny functions. Dependencies are code that you haven't written, but are still your responsibility. For a lot of things, that's a good tradeoff: if you don't have the expertise in a specific area, or if you can offload work to a dependency that you trust, that's great. But for micro dependencies like this, it's usually a bad deal - you don't get anything in return (seriously, how hard is it to write your own isEven function?) but you have to rely on a third party to be secure, to not push anything accidentally broken, to not change the API, etc.
(I think it's also worth pointing out that your wife is not a paid programmer. Software development should be accessible, but this isn't the only goal, and I think it's reasonable to assume that most programmers either understand the n%2 idiom, or know enough to be able to find help on the subject.)
Most professions require some sort of degree or license before you get to practice it. If your wife wants to develop software, she should learn the basics. Especially when her code is included in larger projects and ecosystems.
I think the criticism comes from the fact it is hard to avoid driving over badly designed bridges or avoid wasteful dependencies in the Javascript ecosystem due to the way the package management is organised, and it is felt this specific person contributes a lot to that problem.
I have no knowledge of this person, but I often avoid Javascript and NPM for exactly that reason. I'm hopeful of Deno though to fix some of that mess.
One thing I suspect has tipped the scales in favour of less repairable products is the massive decline in social capital.
30-40 years ago, if your lawnmower broke down you'd ask Dave from two doors down to come and have a look at it.
Now, you'd either take it to a professional repairman (and get it back 2 weeks and $100+ later), try to work it out yourself via online tutorials, or just throw it in the bin.
Either way, it's far more painful for a product to bee temporarily out of service these days than it once was.
There’s clearly some of the baumol effect at play. The small engine repairman hasn’t gotten much more productive, which is part of why it’s so expensive to hire out repair.
People wore fedoras to identify them as part of a subculture (Reddit gentlemen).
Most people who weren't part of the subculture pretty quickly figured out that removing their fedora meant people didn't assume they were a part of it, so they took it off.
Same thing with hipster glasses, mullets, dreads, swastikas, list goes on...
Except for the swastikas, everything you mentioned is just more lazy stereotyping.
How many times have you met an actual douchebag wearing a fedora? How many times have you heard people saying that all douchebags wear fedoras? I bet the ratio is at least 1:50. It's like how people who insist all vegans are smug outnumber actual smug vegans by a huge margin.
>2. There are over 300,000 enrolled tribal members of the Cherokee Nation (per Wikipedia). There are ~0 Picts, as far as I know.
Be careful with that logic! If we agree as a species that surviving conquered people have a right to reclaim their land and assets, but extinct ones don't, then the obvious course of action for the conquering force is to simply exterminate every native mercilessly.
