Alex Pretti escalated the situation? Have you seen the video? Did you see how the ICE agent shoved that woman? That was not “law enforcement activity.” It was assault. Alex Pretti had every right to be there, and he tried to help a woman who was being physically and illegally assaulted.

Re: Minnesota - Everyone out there escalated the situation. Detaining people could be a very boring process, and I haven't seen any footage of any of the detained people starting any fights. Seems like it's mostly leftist white "heroes" running around.
I fully agree that it's terrible that those people have been shot to death by ICE officers, pretty much regardless of anything. But what I'm asking is what they're even doing out there? Why do it?
It seems more like these protests are not about the specific individuals being detained, but a cool group activity to engage in now, so what makes all illegal immigrants, who respect our country so little that their first interaction with it is to sneak in, automatically deserving of being shielded from the consequences of their own actions?
Re: ACLU - it's interesting that it seems like all those who are claiming harm are Mexicans who were given the choice to go back home to Mexico but refused. (If their claims are true, those officers should be punished and fired, but also can you think of any good reasons for detainees to lie about this if they're desperate to be allowed to stay?) Should the US admit all 130 million Mexicans as refugees, just on the grounds that Mexico is allegedly so bad? Or only the ones who break the law and come here?
I'll support accountability for ICE officers who do bad things all day, but it seems like the leftist goal posts are "Don't have immigration officers exist at all, and don't let local law enforcement even consider helping get people deported" and that's why people think Dems want open borders.
I wouldn’t put them in the same category. Bootstrap has a much stronger opinion about how you write and structure CSS, while Tailwind is a framework for building a style system and writing arbitrary CSS that conforms to it. In practice, Tailwind is actually much closer to writing vanilla CSS. It does come with a widely used default (and very good, IMO) style system, but you ultimately apply arbitrary CSS rules just like vanilla.
Tailwind is certainly divisive. It’s better suited to component-based frameworks than templates or plain HTML, so a person’s background likely contributes to how they perceive it. Personally, I’ve worked a lot with vanilla CSS, opinionated libraries like Bootstrap, and Tailwind, and opinionated libraries are the only one I have no desire to use again. I generally want Tailwind in component-based projects and vanilla CSS in template-based projects.
At the end of the day, pick what you like and use it. They all get the job done.
No, it's more like saying "In the context of Java, addition refers to the concept of adding two numbers" which yeah, I guess is technically true but the concept of adding was not invented in Java nor works differently in Java, it's a general math thing. Writing it that way implies that somehow addition works different in Java, which it doesn't.
My experience using LLMs is similar to my experience working with a team of junior developers. And LLMs are valuable in a similar way.
There are many problems where the solution would take me a few hours to derive from scratch myself, but looking at a solution and deciding “this is correct” or “this is incorrect” takes a few minutes or seconds.
So I don’t expect the junior or the LLM to produce a correct result every time, but it’s quick to verify the solution and provide feedback, thus I have saved time to think about more challenging problems where my experience and domain knowledge is more valuable.
I've read other people's code for 25 years for a living. I'm pretty good at it.
So when I get a piece of code or an algorithm, I can read it check if it looks like something I'd allow in a pull review.
We also have this thing called "unit tests", which are pretty good at detecting erroneus code. Some people even write them first and then adjust their code to match.
I play video games at a decently high level (like top ~10% in a few competitive games). To support what you’re saying, I can tell the difference between 144hz and 240hz if I’m in control. For example, if I can shake the screen around.
If I’m just watching, I’m not sure I could even tell the difference between 60hz and 144hz.
esports games are played with vsync disabled, which means you'll get tearing when there's a rendered frame update in the middle of a scan. At 60Hz, you'd definitely see the tear, at 144Hz much less. So that would be a way to notice the difference as a third party observer.
WASM does not need to access the DOM to be extremely useful. JS is already very effective and ridiculously fast for updating the DOM.
WASM is to offload computationally expensive workloads that JS is not so good for (perhaps some sort of computer vision, for example). It passes the result back to JS to update the DOM.
Everyone says that and it makes sense, so I don't criticize this opinion.
And yet you have articles like OP, where someone finds WASM useful for form validation which is clearly not in the "offload computationally expensive workloads" category and would profit from a direct integration.
Look around the world at how many “landslide” election victories are won in places that do not truly have elections. Those with authoritarian intent are notorious for controlling the narrative.
All around the world, we are seeing many examples of consolidation of power through populism. Yes, populism is popular by definition. But history is not usually kind to those who consolidate power.
Cloudflare is not profitable [1]. I’m wary of what might happen when they need to become profitable. Could this be another case of a company offering an excellent, cheap product while being propped up by investors, only to later have an “enshittification” [2] phase where they aggressively cut corners and increase prices to make a profit?

The unit economics are sound. They have 76% gross margin, so it's not like they're selling $10 movie tickets for $8, and unlike companies like uber, they're probably not using their marketing spend to buy revenue (eg. spending $20 in promo credits to get $50 worth of sales). There's nothing wrong with a business that "unprofitable" when their unit economics work out, and are plowing their profits back into expanding the business.
Leaving out stock compensation in a non-gaap perspective would show they are close. Granted compensation is a real cost to value of shares, It's not as wide a delta as many other companies.
I would suspect they're going the other way and will continue to double down into new areas of services to expand their product line.
Cash flow positive. Margins look healthy. Spend lots of R&D which i would attribute to having $1.6B(2023) of capital on hand and being cash flow positive.
