Evan DowerHi, I'm Evan (he/any). TLDR: I'm a privileged white hetero-cis-male politically <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/left" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#left</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/triratnabuddhist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TriratnaBuddhist</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/softwareengineer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoftwareEngineer</a> (#IHelpPeopleGetJobs) currently in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/seattle" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Seattle</a> but planning to move to <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/aotearoanz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AotearoaNZ</a> or <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> as so as we can manage it with my wife & 3 kids I'm politically <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/left" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#left</a> (at least in United States terms). I'm a <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/voting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#voting</a> nerd in that I have a favorite voting-related textbook (Collective Decisions and Voting by Nicolaus Tideman). I think we could mostly solve <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/gerrymandering" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gerrymandering</a> by making larger districts with ~5 representatives instead of just 1 and then using <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/singletransferablevote" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SingleTransferableVote</a>. That would strike a nice balance between local & proportional representation. For single-person positions, like presidents/governors/mayors, STV becomes <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rankedchoicevoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> (aka <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/instantrunoffvoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstantRunoffVoting</a> aka <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/alternativevote" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AlternativeVote</a>) which eliminates the spoiler effect and leads to more civil campaigns. Plus, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rankedchoicevoting" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RankedChoiceVoting</a> eliminates the need for primaries and runoffs, which can lead to significant cost reductions. I'm training for ordination with the <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/triratnabuddhist" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TriratnaBuddhist</a> Order (#dhamma, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/dharma" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dharma</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/buddhism" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Buddhism</a>) and have been for many years. It's a long process, especially with other things going on. I've done some kind of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/meditation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#meditation</a> (mostly <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/anapanasati" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#anapanasati</a>) every day for over 3 years and more sporadically since 2006. That said, I do take issue with some of the things the founder (Sangharakshita) did, and I'm concerned with a recent rise in sort of guru worship around. I can have gratitude for his explanation of the dharma, try to sort out the idiosyncratic bits, and still view him as a deeply flawed human being. I write <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/software" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#software</a> for <a href="http://indeed.com" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">http://indeed.com</a> (job search site) (previously employed by Amazon). I've written a lot of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/database" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#database</a>-backed <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/webservices" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webservices</a> in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/java" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Java</a>, but in the last few years, I've been working on <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/microfrontend" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microfrontend</a> platforms in <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/javascript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JavaScript</a> & <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/typescript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TypeScript</a>, primarily supporting <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/react" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#React</a>. I have more knowledge about <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/webpack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webpack</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/modulefederation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ModuleFederation</a> than anyone should be cursed with. I'd love to try <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/solidjs" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolidJS</a>, <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/rustlang" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RustLang</a> seems really cool, and I'm excited about the future of <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/webassembly" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebAssembly</a>. My wife & I have fantasized about moving to <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/aotearoanz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AotearoaNZ</a> or <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/australia" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Australia</a> since well before the pandemic, and now we're actively trying make it happen. Since we're both in high-demand professions (she's a nurse), I think it should go reasonably smoothly 🤞. Feel free to get in touch with job opportunities that offer visa sponsorship, suggestions for <a class="hashtag" href="https://fe.disroot.org/tag/kiwiana" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#kiwiana</a> or Australian culture that will help us adapt, reasons that your city is the best, etc. I always blow on the pie when I wear my jandals to the dairy. If we ship things over, I can only hope that the front doesn't fall off the boat. I hear that only rarely happens. My daughter Juniper was born at the beginning of 2020, so her experience of life and my experience of parenthood are both tightly linked to the pandemic. On the upside, I get to work remotely, which means I get more time with her. She's a lot of fun (and of course a lot of work). Then, we had our twins Heath & Magnolia (Noli) in September 2023, and our lives got even more hectic and full of love. Juniper goes to a Waldorf school, and I wish I could go, too, but I think the adult version of Waldorf school might just be therapy.

kute null pointer 🤖I'm learning just a tad-bit about <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/AMD" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AMD</a> ( <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/asynchronous" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#asynchronous</a> <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/module" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#module</a> <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/dependencies" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dependencies</a> ) and <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/RequireJS" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RequireJS</a>. I've always been too retarded to do anything with <a href="https://subs4social.xyz/tags/Webpack" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webpack</a>, because it needs to be running server-side as well as clientside in the browser (I think). Dependencies bundled together in real time, at the server side, plus whatever minifier and obfuscation they decide to add. With RequireJS, it just needs to find static JS files in the URL folder structure it expects. So you can use really any webserver.

kaspiI got unnecessarily excited for Protonmail app on macOS.And immediately after closing the window without quitting the app, throws a webpack error...That was about 5 minutes total of not using my pinned tab.Don't worry, it's alright to use it. It's just not for me.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WebDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WebDev</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Electron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Electron</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Webpack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Webpack</a>

Jack of all tradesWho would have thought that it would be quicker to altogether replace webpack with parcel than to upgrade webpack from v4 to v5.I think I'm going to do this in all the legacy projects I manage going forward.<a href="https://mas.to/tags/webpack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#webpack</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/javascript" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#javascript</a>
