@nafmcpodcast.bsky.social is so charming you'll puke. The movies they review are mostly excuses for friends to gather and gab. The stories shared are enrapturing: - Drive through romances - Endearing tales of Motherhood - Piss bucket spills The intros of early EPs immediately endeared me.

Yes, I know you lose an `s` in the anagram. It was a working title. It was also a way of saying goodbye to the typical FE framework conventions.

Working titles were `adios` and `buck.js`. github.com/jackhp95/buc... - Adios was an anagram of `as, is, do`. `[o-as="is"]` and `[onevent="do"]`. I realized the state update `do` wasn't relevant. It was all about lossless templates. - Buck `$` was initial namespace for the global state object.

Loose theory/example on how custom plugins would work: codepen.io/JackHP95/pen... I never really finished it because I got burnt out on for-loops and got stuck thinking about writing all the docs. Might pick it up again if there's enough interest.

I built several demos. Simplest concept: codepen.io/JackHP95/pen... - Parsing `Jack` would essentially run this JS: `o_.user.name = "Jack"`. - Running `o_.user.name = "Lea"` would update the HTML to `Lea`. That's the whole idea.

Although it's simple, it required me to build several "libraries" to make it work. - idempotent html getter/setter library. (required for hydration) - unified JS event/microtask/frame library. - simpler DOM change event system. - JS graph library for performance. (IMO, over optimized, already fast.)

Bi-directional data-binding for HTML/JS - No build step - Hydration from DOM - `Proxy` trigger DOM updates - `MutationObservers` trigger data updates - [o-*] denotes data binding. (hence the name o (ring) - (tail)) - the suffix has how it binds. - attr.value holds the data path. ie `users[0].name`

it is kind of interesting that the language-based instruction of LLMs may be revealing certain truths hidden in the way we’ve communicated for decades, like how “politically incorrect” is interpreted to mean “openly racist”

🧵 Albuquerque, NM — A man was violently tased & tackled inside the Walmart at 2250 Coors Blvd by unidentified masked thugs in ICE & HSI vests. He screamed for help as he was dragged out. A bystander filmed it—then was kicked out of the store. Walmart is complicit in covering up a public kidnapping.

If you're looking for an alternative to NYT Games, consider puzzmo.com. Its probably the best web-app I've ever used. Super polished, super fun.

What is the ideal scenario for you? On average, per pay period, per job they bring home $37 fewer dollars. They also work 37% less! These people have more time for another job, skilling, contract work, or relaxing. Help me understand what makes this data look bad for minimum wage increases?

".. lowered the amount paid to workers in low-wage jobs by an average of $74 per month per job in 2016." On average, each job pays $74 less per month. $13/$9.47=~1.37 The hours required to hit equivalent pay was reduced by ~37%. Hours per job was reduced to hit that -$74. What am I missing?

The paper says there was a drop of $74 per month per job in 2016. What those workers got in exchange was a 37% pay raise OR free time INCREASE. That's huge. (13/9.47=1.37) Each job pays $74 less by the end of the month, but you work significantly fewer days per job! Big W for the worker IMO.

You agree trickle down was a bad idea (for the average american) right? The data shows it was. "Economic theory" was the foundation for trickle-down. There was no good data to support it. You are using flimsy economic theory to argue against data. Reconsider your stance.

These are the EXACT same arguments that have always been used against minimum wage increases. The data you "cited" shows that you are wrong. You are using economic theory. The economic data does not support your claims. Sure, $30 is a big number, but there's evidence that your theories are wrong.
