SPA's tend to come with build systems, but that is just a side effect of their complexity. You can have a front-end build system independent of SPA/MPA architecture. In fact, you should, at least for minification and whatnot. That system can add a content hash or some other strategy to force invalidation at build time for deployed artifacts. Barring that, whatever is serving the asset should handle it's caching/TTL stuff correctly, but config of that can be hard (in complexity or domain knowledge.) Build hashes have been the most resilient approach that I've found so far. Mostly because it is easily automated in artifact generation.

Not a binary thing, no. But who gets to be in charge of that speech? Do you trust them? Do you trust who will follow them in power?

Where I live, I'm vastly outnumbered by people who have vastly different values than me. Their party is in control now. Pretty scary to think they could shut off my voice at whim, or worse.

Not allowing information to exist, regardless of intent or how it's perceived as "good", is an authoritarian act in and of itself. It will only polarize those that feed on it.

It's the "let's burn books" mindset, which is just a bad tactic. Misinformation in the modern(or any) age can't be fought that way. The internet is good at amplifying that which people seek to censor. I hope we can agree this is good for positive ideas, but the mechanism employed doesn't care how "good" you find the idea.

And to be entirely clear: I think the subject matter at hand is abhorrent. Fascism feeds on censorship. It doesn't hurt that side, it helps them control the narrative.

I think most of my concerns center around this being an impulsive stream of clearly stress based posts. I think a lot of really good conversation could have been raised, which I fear may be lost by a) the stream of conscious nature of the posts, and b) a lack of better editing or personal judgement on a bit of the content.

The frustration shines through, but so does a lot of "advice" about dealing with an unhealthy culture in an even more unhealthy way.

I wish the author the best, the little I know of his past work seems solid. I commend raising these issues, but it raises a few red flags with me in the manner of execution.

I would also like to echo this question, always interested in what people listen to while working.

Hahah. Nothing to be sorry for, I was just curious. There are enough source systems out there, I wouldn't be surprised if they were a few I hadn't heard of.

As I'm not familiar with those, I have to ask: did you mean CVS and SVN?

PSA: If you are using a DisplayLink based device, this update will break your setup. They have a beta driver on their site that will re-enable clone mode, but not extended desktops, etc. Through the 10.13.4 beta the rumor was that changes to support eGPU's broke something they relied on.

Edit: 1.0.13.4 is not a version of macOS.

This is not a response to your post in general, however it is "Berners-Lee" not "Burners-Lee" as your own sources will confirm.

I think they got that, but customers can be difficult and the impulse to launch them can be strong.

Thank you for your helpfulness, regardless.

That's odd criteria.

Mind passing those resumes this way?

Laying off employees due to revenue concerns has been something I've seen, but I've never seen an individuals salary cut. I would leave somewhere that did that in a hurry, if I had the option.
