Pat Robertson’s death is a stark reminder to us all that we should strive to live in such a way that our death is not a net positive for society and the world.

Smith understood that capitalists hate capitalism. They don't want to compete with one another, because that would interfere with their ability to raise the prices their customers pay and reduce the wages they pay their workers. Thus #PeterThiel's anticapitalist rallying cry, "competition is for losers," or #WarrenBuffett's extreme horniness for businesses with "wide, sustainable moats."

React is '13 tech designed to '08 constraints. Nothing about it is innovative in 2023; in fact, it's the slowest way to get functional-reactive frontend programming in the modern era, and I'm agog that the folks pitching it as "the future" seem to have no shame.

One of the constraints is that the team wanted to use an existing library of Web Components, but React made it hard. This is probably going to cause them to favour Preact for the bits of the team that want React-flavoured modern webdev.
It's astonishing how antiquated React is.

Someone asked me today if there was a case for using React in a new app that doesn't need to support IE.
I could not come up with a single reason to prefer it over Preact or (better yet) any of the modern reactive Web Components systems (FAST, Lit, Stencil, etc.).

Oh no, guys, a bunch of criminals and terrorists might get mad if laws are enforced against crimes and terrorism, guess we better suspend the rule of law so the demonstrably worst and most violence-predisposed assholes in America don't get even shittier and more violent.

These straights who don't like how gays are being chipper about Pat Robertson's death, after he blamed 9/11 and hurricanes on us, and fiercely campaigned against any and all of our civil rights, remind me of those who remained silent when their bigoted friends and family said, "AIDS is killing all the right people: in the '80s. #LGBTQ

The year is 1949. You have just walked into the Shalimar Room, a bar with a rather seedy reputation in the logging town of Roseberg, Oregon. The band in the corner is playing jazz standards from the wartime days. "Flying Home". "If I Knew Then." "Sophisticated Swing". You sit and order a beer and listen. The pianist is good. Very good.
The band takes a break and you strike up a conversation with the young man at the piano. He's been touring the circuit now for almost 14 years, playing gigs everywhere from Seattle to Joplin to Houston to Memphis to Topeka. He's excited because this place is recording tonight's performance onto acetate "instant discs" for rebroadcast on the radio later.
The man you just met is Billie Tipton, from Oklahoma City. He lived and worked for over 50 years as a well respected pianist in the jazz scene. He took lovers, adopted children, recorded albums, and played the piano all over the country. Only after his death was it revealed he was a transgender man.
