Every once in a while, I wonder: am I too hard on React? Do I just not like it because it's not my favorite and actually it's a perfectly fine tool?
And then I have to build a form, and I immediately stop wondering.

26. The Uninvited (1944). A really charming gothic story about a pair of adult siblings dealing with a haunted house. The setting is very close to The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, but despite two romantic subplots the overall tone of The Uninvited is a bit chillier.

I know the hardware is shiny and all, but I just do not understand how web dev people can buy Apple products when they are actively trying to end their livelihood.
You're paying Apple to inevitably have you retrain as a native app developer, and then you'll have to ask their permission to launch your product.
Make it make sense.

@slightlyoff in other browser attacks the solution is to switch browser until it's fixed.

How retro kick ass is that? Flash is resurrected sans the neglected, proprietary, security ridden, plugin bs of Adobe; thanks to Rust, and modern day sandboxed WebAssembly. No plugin required; small, compact, compatible engine, that unlocks decades of lost SWF content in all its vector visuals, MP3 stereo, and ActionScript-y glory. https://github.com/ruffle-rs/ruffle #flash #adobe #webdev #javascript #rust #retrogaming

Friends, when you see people at the top levels of the US government that are this obviously corrupt: https://www.finance.senate.gov/chairmans-news/justice-thomas-did-not-repay-substantial-portion-of-267230-loan-finance-committee-investigation-reveals-failed-to-report-forgiven-debt-on-ethics-filings-raising-questions-about-tax-compliance I want you to remember that this *is not normal*.
A few weeks ago, I was on a trip with a program officer from the National Science Foundation. There were some complications surrounding transportation, and for a while it looked like he might need to *contact his ethics officer* to ask for an *exemption* so that I could give him a ride in my *rented Toyota Corolla* to the *airport*. (As it turns out, a different plan worked out, so said ethics waiver was not required.)
The US federal government is full of people with high ethical standards who take conflicts of interest, even minor ones, completely seriously, as they should. Let's not rot from the head down by ignoring ethical standards for the people at the top of the government, please.

@Jennifer @RickiTarr Us old folks - I'm 73 - grew up in the last polio generation. Two of my classmates & our best man had it - only Gary escaped relatively unharmed. Tom spent a year in an iron lung & Donna's deformed hip necessitated a Caesarean section during childbirth. The fear was pervasive and there was parental rejoicing when vaccines were announced. Most of us soaked up respect for vaccines along with the vaccination. I'm current on EVERYTHING. Have you had your shingles shots yet?
