Including the ones who save people's lives?

They are working, but they can still be improved, hence this.

Sure. Making such public statements is just sending signals ...

Post-scarcity society still has to be backed by something. In the novel, it's 3d printers. If you have more 3d printers than others, you can use it to produce weapons to capture even more 3d printers from other people, making them scarce, and thus introducing scarcity again.

You (intentionally?) leave out the important detail that the main orchestrator of the attack bin Laden / al-Qaeda were based in Afghanistan and Taliban refused to extradite him/them.

Putting him on TV is a bad fucking idea. That must discourage a lot of Russian soldiers thinking about doing the same.

Too bad that Purism's stated values are the opposite of their real business practices.

In a post scarcity society, you walk away. Let them have your shit. You can build new shit, better shit

How do you do that if they take all your 3d printers (the technology which sustains the post-scarcity world in this novel)?

So far they didn't complain. My manager is all praise too ;-) It's kinda weird that I'm supposed to be the asshole for not being hateful of a technology. But you the hater are the nice guy?

The things is, I don't diss on technologies without arguments. I've grown to recognize that they are tools, not a subject of passion, at least in a professional context.

Sure, but part of the claim was "without any compilation". But bun/deno do compile TS into JS.

I don't know iMessage, but some of the more advanced features in WhatsApp/Messenger are great. I use shared location almost daily, voice messages are great too.

Does anyone know what level of interoperability is required? Like basic text, pictures, emoji... or every feature including things like location sharing?

Why would they sell in Germany? With sanctions they can probably fetch better price in Russia.

The context is Hitler, so why can't you infer that German is spoken of as an ethnicity?

Lol, so angry :-D jQuery hating must be a real passion for ya.

You wrote "Which German?", how is that "clearly mentioning nationality"?

German means both ethnicity and nationality.

Looking at your other comments it’s clear you are taking comments like boomers personally against your parents. You shouldn’t.

They were boomers, and boomers are all these negative stereotypes, so how not to take it personally?

You say something like "women can't drive, but don't take it personally if you're a good female driver". Honestly I can't fathom how people can't see that it might be wrong to negatively stereotype groups of the population by something they did not choose. We've grown to recognise sexism, racism etc. but apparently we're still in the 1950s of ageism.

She’s a huge proponent of these systems being continued for the next generation.

Too bad she's a boomer, though.

Just fluff, no real arguments, ok.

Rewrite this with "black" instead of "boomer" and see how it looks like.

Your code reads like it’s from 1992 mainly

Lol. You write a lot of text to mask the fact there's no good reason why getElementById should be bad. It's the same groupthink as with the jQuery, you're told it's bad, so you just follow the crowd.

jQuery was created as a way to account for browser support challenges

That was one of the reasons. The other was that DOM API was and still is crap. There were many such libraries to abstract away browser differences back in late 00s (Dojo, script.aculo.us, Prototype.js, MooTools), and the main reason jQuery "won" was that it provided the nicest API.

Which is why I think it’s opinionated in a bad way to arbitrarily pick one of them as the defacto.

You're missing the fact that jQuery does not prevent you from hiding the element in other ways. It's just optimizing for the most common case, which is one of the principles of good API.

What you’re missing is that the hidden class can contain anything you want. Animations or whatever else.

Sure, and when I just want to ... hide it, without any animations? Then this hidden class is boilerplate only.
