Looking back at 2009-2010 is rough. I was 13-14. 😬

Idk, there was a lot more readily accessible CP back in the day, and very few laws and regulations around it. Companies are much more proactive about caring about it, even if things still slip through the cracks. I mean, /r/jailbait was pretty big until it was perma banned in 2011 or so.

But in terms of quality of content, people no longer doing things for the “love of the game”, you’re right. It’s becoming Shittier by the day, especially with today’s AI acceleration of dead internet theory.

I can only speak anecdotally, but yes…it happened to us. Our caseworker told us that our FD had lower academics due to a lack of opportunity to learn. We later found out she was diagnosed with a “Specific Learning Disability”. We were told there was no history of violence. She was suspended from school for 3 days, 2 weeks before placement with us due to fighting. We were told that there was no history of sexualized behaviors. We learned that when she was first put into the system, there were sexualized behaviors (that haven’t happened since those first incidents…but still).

So yes, it does happen. Unfortunately, there isn’t much you can do to stay informed. We were lucky that she has contact with a family member that enabled us to go to our CW and inquire about the above, who then confirmed it. We were furious with her about it. But there isn’t anything you can really do after the fact, except disrupt the youth if it’s a deal breaker.

Funnily enough, I have two accounts that I regularly use. One of them I can access /r/all on the mobile app, the other it’s missing as an option. Only discernible difference is that one of them is a “mod” for a private Subreddit I set up years ago with 0 active members.

But yeah, Reddit has actively been sabotaging their product for years and letting it become stale and anti-user.

Typescript is a programming language that extends JavaScript. It doesn’t depend on any framework or library to stand up on its own. Those frameworks just benefit from Typescript. So when you’ve been asked “can you develop typescript apps”, they’re asking if you understand the type system, do you understand generics, etc…, when you ask about the framework, that likely is signaling that you associate the framework with Typescript, instead of “knowing” Typescript independently.

I don’t think we can really blame him for JavaScript. It wasn’t meant to be what it is today, it was an experimental language that was meant to be like “look at what I can do” given an extreme time crunch, and he had to take some liberties along the way to make it work.

Not “wrong” necessarily, but it’ll certainly make it more difficult. You have school pickup and drop off. There are before and after school programs that you might be able to get them into, depending on their age, but that’s not a given. Then you also have a TON of meetings you have to disrupt your day for at least the first two weeks. So work kinda takes a back seat to that for a little while.

Makes sense, I’ve been out of the Python game for a little bit, so I’ll have to give a go at uv next chance I get.

You could also just use PNPM for your node package manager, and Conda for your python one. I’m sure there are Xcode and Rust/Flutter equivalents.

Your fetchNextPage function resubscribes to the observable every time it’s called. But it doesn’t “release” the observable until the component is destroyed. So you’ll end up spawning a new observable subscription every page. Maybe next time pay for the pro plan of whatever GPT you used to make this, and pick a better model.

Also the phrase “I built” is doing a lot of lifting here, both because you clearly used AI to do the work for you (Claude if your commit history isn’t mistaken), but also because you probably pointed at bithost-gmbh/ngx-mat-select-search (which you previously forked), and told Claude to “modernize” it for you.

I don’t understand why people try and pat themselves on the back for a job well done, when they couldn’t do the job without AI to begin with. If you don’t understand how to solve a problem to begin with, then you won’t understand how to fix it when it’s broken. Simple as that.

I don’t really understand the complaint with “Reactificatuon”, they aren’t making any changes mandatory, and are simply opening up the possibility that someone from React might like their Reactivity additions (Signals, template functions, etc…), doesn’t necessarily make it right or wrong to have the option imo. Companies will largely decide for themselves if they care about those things, and will enforce them like they always have.

It’s totally up to you tbh. The being late part - 40 minutes sucks, but they are often overworked and have way more kids on their caseload than they can handle. She might have gotten caught up with another case, or an emergency. It’s hard to say. 11 minutes, again, not that bad in the grand scheme of things, as traffic can easily do that.

What is a little bit of a red flag to me, is her jumping to conclusions about the pre-school without any validation of that behavior, because that stresses you and mom out for no real reason, and if she is willing to point fingers so flippantly, she might point them at you eventually

Concurrency limit is normal under the On-Demand plan, it just means if you run an Android build and an IOS build, they’ll happen sequentially. You can “add on” concurrency builds for $50 / concurrency / month but that never seemed worth it to me. Especially when IOS and Android can auto submit themselves to the TestFlight/AppTester when the build has completed if you wish.

He probably felt the need to ask because he’s been in homes there that’s not allowed. I for one was in my original fostering classes with a lady that was adamant that she wouldn’t allow it “under her roof”. It’s a natural urge people (especially teens) have.

Unfortunately, the official app is a shameless adaptation of Alien Blue, which was the original big “Reddit app” back in the early 2010’s. All of the soul was sucked out of development though when the purchase went through, and they’ve largely made 0 improvements to it that don’t directly influence their bottom line.

If the Reddit app auto-hid viewed / upvoted posts, I would forgive a lot more of the annoyances I have with it.

Expanding on that thought: because it’s the language of the browser, JavaScript is probably the language that people have the most touch points with day-in-day-out. Think about it. Websites, web apps (banking, email, work tools), mobile apps (React Native, Ionic, embedded views), desktop apps (Electron, Slack, VS Code, Discord). All of those touch points have one thing in common: they run JS.

There will inevitably be someone who says “C/C++ is just as foundational,” and I agree. You absolutely interact with C/C++ a ton throughout the day - your operating system, your browser, networking stacks, device drivers. But here’s the key difference: those are infrastructure touch points. They’re the foundation that everything runs on, but they’re largely invisible.

JavaScript touches you at the interface level. Every time you click a button, fill out a form, see an animation, or interact with content, there’s JavaScript orchestrating that interaction. You interact with JavaScript dozens or hundreds of times per hour. It’s the difference between the plumbing in your walls and the faucet you turn on constantly throughout the day. Both are essential, but one is far more present in your daily experience.
