Damn, this is really cool.

All I can say is that having significant gut dysbiosis is enough to have significant fatigue - think for sure, you can end up having fatigue from cell energy production issues, but it's clear to me that there are definitely different causes of CFS.

Can anyone comment on the scope and scale of Bloomberg’s c++ codebase? And is this their terminal system?
(Former employee of quite a few years). The C++ usage is high due to a lot of legacy systems written in C++, however most new development (unless performance critical is not written in C++. I would estimate that Bloomberg actually has more JavaScript than it has C++.
When referring to the Terminal itself it's important to note that as a 'system' itself, it's incredibly broad and complex. You can do so many things via the system, it's equivalent to the broadness of a web-browser. In fact the Terminal application is powered by chromium these days. But the systems it connects to can be anything from trading systems, to Chat applications.

To get the cluster up and running using AWS EKS, it costs $0.10/hour which means at a minimum you're spending $72/mo ($860+/year) to just run the cluster and not the underlying resources. How do you justify this and compare against other options like Qovery?
I've self-hosted Dokku on Digital Ocean before with decent success: https://github.com/dokku/dokku. It's pretty nice for the scale of pet projects.

The saddest part is that SV runs on Saudi cash.
How is this possibly the 'saddest' part? A man was brutally murdered. Get some perspective, jeez.
I read your comment as unnecessarily abrasive, self-entitled almost.
> "It breaks my heart that when this project was started in 2017, some 20 years after web accessibility advocacy had started in earnest, the developer was still uninformed enough about accessibility that they would create a custom button component with no ARIA support."
You're assuming ignorance and malice, when in all actuality this most likely comes down to priorities, and a painful lack of clear standards and tooling. By all means - please submit a patch with what you deem is the right solution here, instead of just expecting things get done your way on day one.
> "The buttons are clickable divs, not actual HTML buttons"
What's an "actual" HTML button we can all safely use to replace simple divs (which are just about the only way to get content to show up and behave uniformely across browsers and platforms, using as little js/css hacks as possible)?
It's almost as if some people get off on the feeling of self-importance they get for 'calling people out' in this manner- the neckbeards of accessibility. In an ideal world, accessibility would come for free - but unfortunately it does not.
Yes I would argue that morally projects should do their best to support it - but even at well established companies it takes significant resources to maintain accessibility. Yes in this case it may be as simple as using native Buttons, as the above comment said, 'that's as far as I got'. Just pretending that accessibility isn't a significant time an resources doesn't make it any less so. If this wasn't true then there wouldn't be legislation to essentially address this market-failure.

This is absurd. I'm a US citizen, so I'll contact my Congressman to have his staff look into it. I don't have any special power, any US citizen can contact their congressman, but maybe that will kick-start something.
spoiler: it won't.

Hmm, I don't know how I feel about this. I tend to find that with most content creators I watch, the sponsors they pick for their videos tend to be more relevant to their audience than standard pre/midroll ads might be. I'm okay with supporting their channel typically with a sponsorship.

But applications written in React Native aren't cross platform, are they? You have different components depending on the platform. My understanding is that they claimed you wouldn't have to learn a different framework when switching to a new platform, not that your apps would be portable.
Applications written in React Native typically are cross-platform; saying that they are not is a pretty large misrepresentation of the framework.
At its base React Native provides a common set of native components with the same API on both iOS and Android such as View, Image & Text which can all be styled and laid out through common APIs. These APIs pretty much give you most of what you need to make an entire APP. Sometimes you may want to have different behavior per platfrom and for that you can use the Platform API (provided by React Native) to switch for each platform. This would allow you to do things like change the styling on each platform or the native components you use.
React Native makes it pretty easy to expose native components to JavaScript. It is also up to the native component author if they want to create a common API for all platforms that they support. In the case of Views & styling it makes a lot of sense to have the same API on iOS and Android, but sometimes they are some platform features that are only available on one platform.
Wile Swift Layout is not cross-platform, it may soon be and I think it does a lot for promoting declarative UI & maybe they did take some inspiration from React!
