I am not saying this is a solution, but the reason you see this is because a number of companies, such as TikTok and LinkedIn, have been caught scraping the clipboard.
That said, for web applications, you are required to do things like use HTTPS for the modern clipboard API, which provides the user some guarantees. Not much works without HTTPS anymore though.
Do you work in the agricultural industry? Farm equipment is expensive, farmers will maintain the equipment as long as possible, which is a long time. Manufactures such as John Deere have tried to make it not possible for farmers to do self repair.
I can tell you guys work with languages like Go, so this isn't true for yourselves, but I usually find it is developers that only ever work with synchronous code who find async complicated. Which isn't surprising, if you don't understand something it can seem complicated. My views is almost that people should learn how to write async code by default now. Regardless of the language. Writing modern applications basically requires it, although not all the time obviously.
Hey Yoric, I do not want to underplay what it is like to work with async, but I think there has been a lot of improvements to make it easier, especially in JavaScript/ECMAScript. It is nice not to have to work directly with promises in the same way that was required previously. The language has matured a lot since I started using in Netscape Navigator (I see you formerly worked at Mozilla). I think coding can be complicated in general, although it shouldn't have to be. I think having a mental model for async from the start can be helpful, and understanding the difference between blocking and non blocking code. A lot of people learned writing synchronous code first, so I think it can be hard to develop the mental model and intuit it.
I have no problem with async in JS or Rust, but async in Python is a very different beast, and like many people in this thread I do my best to avoid the fully loaded footgun altogether. Writing maintainable Python basically requires avoiding it, so I strongly disagree with "regardless of language".
Maybe, but I wouldn't go back to Python 2 without async. It has also improved over time in Python. I have also had success using async in Python. I do understand what the article talks about however. Understanding the difference between blocking and non-blocking code is also a concept relevant to Python. In Node it's one of the concepts you are first introduced to, because Node is single threaded by default. I also understand in Go and other languages there are different options.
It is interesting hearing feedback from the frontline. Even with the issues, I think it is clear drones are changing modern warfare when you have companies like Anduril. What most people think is coming next is autonomous drones, although I don't morally agree with it. Sorry you had to have this experience, I wish this war would end, too many lives have been lost and it is senseless.
The is also a sort of autonomous targetting for jammers available ? The grandfather of the shaheed was intended to guide itself towardsrrrussian radar aka em sources, so i guess a modern drone should be similar capable on connection loss to rech the disturbing em source.
As someone who was around before WordPress existed, and witnessed all the proprietary CMS systems of the day, as well as personally building custom CMS systems professionally, it disappoints me to watch this unfold.
I used to see WordPress as an example of how open-source can be good business. Being open-source, and comparatively better then other proprietary options at the time, made WordPress an attractive option, and its user base grew rapidly. Blogging was also more popular then, although people still blog.
I think as of today there are better options then WordPress, and blogging is not the same as in the past. I think because of peoples history with products like WordPress, many people have gravitated towards static site generators.
Early on Automattic seemed like a place I might want to work, but obviously a lot that has changed since WordPress first launched. I can't see myself wanting to work there now, or wanting to use WordPress again. Not to mention I moved on from PHP a long time ago.
I generally feel the opposite way. React was changing every few weeks when I started using it, the docs and API are much more stable and consistent now. In general web standards are more stable then ever also. People younger then myself won't have learn 100s of layout hacks to get their pages displaying properly cross browser, or sometimes even in just one browser. This is just my perspective, although I also understand JavaScript fatigue, I feel it is actually one of the best times to start learning.
