Yeah but can we go there?


Last I checked, they were in downtown Oakland and you could just knock on the door.


Quite right. It seems Christians are more threatened by Muslims than they are by Atheists, despite them both being abrahamic religions.


Why make people into atheists?

Don't you want to live in a world where people make decisions based on observable things, rather than blind faith in arbitrary nonsense?

You can't reason with a religious person. Their axioms can be completely incompatible if, for example, they believe the afterlife is more important than actual life.


Then cache the dependencies you're using.


Exactly. Another fundamental abstraction they should have mentioned in the article is [the surprising way z-index actually works](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Positio...), especially being aware of the existence of [stacking contexts](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Positio...).


"Wants to work with" doesn't apply here. This is what the phone does by default, so it's not a conscious choice of the user. Also, if the college had written the `accepts` field on their form correctly it would have been converted to JPG automatically when they uploaded it.


Huh. So, according to the other comments, if they'd set the `accepts` on their form to MIME types instead of extensions, the browser would have converted the file to a JPG automatically.


Which means I think the blame is more on Apple side since the 'accept' attribute is intended to work with any 'Unique file type specifiers' [1] which includes both MIME types and extensions. Perhaps Apple is following a different RFC?

Bordellum. It's a word, I think?

https://www.thisworddoesnotexist.com/w/disaproval/eyJ3IjogIm...

Disaproval. So close to a real word it looks like a misspelling.

Anyway, this is really interesting.


For the latter, press the "Write Your Own" button and it'll do exactly that

In general, I don't fix a random seed so in general you can get different definitions (sometimes: I cache data)


Thanks!


And no one would want them because they're a few years out of date.


That's also true with cars for the most part. Not a lot of market for thirty year old cars unless they're very specific models (much like thirty year old computers).


30 year old computers are worth some money.


Not in general they're not. Specific models are, like specific models of cars.

Try to find somebody willing to pay you more than half of original MSRP for some random Compaq PC from 1990.


Then we should all start our own business, right?


That's the dream, isn't it? Like a network of microservices. And we must realize that a few hundred years ago that was the default (well, if you were not a slave of some description).


A few hundred years ago, indentured servitude and slavery were the norm.


Yeah true. So I guess we just have replaced slaves with employees?


As in the people doing work? Yes. And it is a fairer system.


You can go back if you like but I think being an employee suits me better ...



Other than the relation that both are norms, how did you come to the conclusion that they are the same things?


I never said they were the same things. One thing replaced the other. I can replace my daily fruit from apples to oranges. They both serve the same purpose (filling my tum tum), doesn't mean they are the same.


I think Adam Smith and other economists would say that if everyone was an independent businessperson with full autonomy then we’d have less exploitation and more equality. But people are willing to trade essential Liberty to purchase a little temporary Safety (and a whole array of consumer goods they don’t need and pay high rent for status), to quote a certain modern philosopher.


Alternatively, we could start more worker coops.


Everybody should have enough money not to have to work and live off the interest.


If everybody has enough money, who pays that interest and why?


I was trying to convey that the same question applies to the hypothetical situation where everybody owns a business.
