    1. Nếu không có miếng phần việc làng

      Chương phản bác lại luận đề của chính cuốn sách — và tác giả để nguyên, không sửa.

      Ông cụ gần tám mươi tuổi lê đi giữa mưa rét tháng chạp để dự đám giỗ hậu, ngồi "nhấm" miếng thịt bằng hạt đỗ rồi đặt xuống bát để dành. Người kể chuyện thoáng nghĩ là già tham ăn. Cụ tự giải thích: "Thực ra, tôi có thiết gì miếng xôi, miếng thịt! Sở dĩ cố đi, chỉ vì có mấy đứa cháu. Ở nhà quê gạo ăn còn chẳng có, lấy đâu ra tiền mua thịt? Nếu không có miếng phần việc làng, thì những trẻ con quanh năm không được biết mùi thịt ra sao."

      Ở đây lệ làng không phải hủ tục — nó là an sinh xã hội. Và không chỉ cho người trong làng: cỗ nào cũng phải chừa một phần cho "người quá lộ", tức người ăn mày qua đường; họ không đến thì phần ấy cho thằng Mới, đứa ở.

      Đọc Việc làng thì nên tách hai loại. Loại một — bán cỗ, mua ngôi, ăn vạ, phạt vạ — là bóc lột khoác áo lệ tục, và nó chết hẳn sau 1945. Loại hai — chia phần, phe khiêng ma, đổi công mùa vụ — là tương trợ thật, chỉ hóa thành gánh nặng vì người ta quá nghèo.

      Cái chung của cả hai: nghèo đến mức một miếng thịt cũng phải đi qua bộ máy của làng mới đến được miệng đứa trẻ.

      Còn cột "chia phần theo ngôi" thì hôm nay vẫn sống — chỉ đổi thứ được chia.

      Hàn Quốc, án Đại pháp viện toàn thể 21/7/2005: tông trung (종중) họ Lee Yongin bán hơn 30.000 pyeong đất rừng, thu 35 tỷ won. Đàn ông trưởng thành nhận 150 triệu won mỗi người với tư cách thành viên; phụ nữ đã lấy chồng chỉ nhận 16,5–55 triệu, và dưới danh nghĩa "quà tặng" chứ không phải phần chia. Năm người phụ nữ kiện, thua hai cấp, rồi Đại pháp viện lật án: hậu duệ cùng tổ tiên, đủ tuổi thành niên thì đương nhiên là thành viên, không phân biệt nam nữ — vì tập quán cũ "không phù hợp với trật tự pháp luật đặt trên nền tảng phẩm giá cá nhân và bình đẳng nam nữ".

      Trung Quốc còn lớn hơn: 分胙 phân tộ (chia thịt tế theo thứ bậc) đã thành 分红 phân hồng — chia tiền đền bù đất thôn bị thu hồi để đô thị hóa. Ai được coi là thành viên tập thể? Do dân thôn bỏ phiếu theo 村规民约 (thôn quy dân ước, tức hương ước). Nạn nhân là 外嫁女 — phụ nữ lấy chồng ngoài thôn — bị gạt khỏi danh sách. Viện Kiểm sát Tối cao phải ra hướng dẫn riêng: "村规民约不可侵犯'她'权益" — hương ước không được xâm phạm quyền lợi của "cô ấy".

      Đúng cuộc chiến của cuốn sách này — lệ làng vs. luật nước — dịch sang thế kỷ 21. Chỉ khác: lần này luật nước đang thắng, và thứ đem chia không còn là miếng thịt lợn.

    2. sẽ bị người ta chê cười

      Cơ chế còn sống đến hôm nay — nên đọc kỹ câu này hơn là các chương gây sốc.

      Nguyên văn: "được người làm giúp, nhà chủ vẫn phải tốn hơn thuê người làm mướn, vì phải cung đốn bà con một bữa cơm rượu xứng đáng với hảo tâm của họ. Nhưng ở nhà quê, nếu không được thế, sẽ bị người ta chê cười, cho nên dù có phí tổn ông cũng chẳng quản."

      Không ai ép. Không có kỳ dịch, không có phạt vạ, không có sổ ngôi. Chỉ có thể diện cưỡng chế chi tiêu — và người ta tự nguyện chi đến mức lỗ so với thuê người ngoài.

      Đây là loại lệ làng không chết cùng thiết chế đình trung. Cả bộ máy trong sách — ngôi thứ, sổ đinh, kỳ dịch, đình trung — tan rã sau 1945 vì mất chỗ bám. Nhưng riêng cơ chế này tái sinh nguyên vẹn dưới hình thức mới: cỗ cưới ganh nhau, giỗ họ, khao thọ, phong bì, ma chay phải "cho bằng người ta".

      Ngô Tất Tố nhắm vào bọn kỳ dịch. Nhưng cái ông tả ở đây thì không có thủ phạm — và có lẽ vì thế mà nó bền hơn.

      Nhìn ra cả Đông Á thì quy luật hiện rõ: cột nào dính đến tiền thì sống, cột nào chỉ là nghi lễ thì phai. Nhật bỏ được phần chia nhưng còn tẩy chay (nay là án dân sự); Trung bỏ được tẩy chay chính thức nhưng còn phần chia (nay là hàng tỷ tệ); Hàn giữ phần chia lâu nhất vì tông trung sở hữu bất động sản; Việt Nam mất cả hai vì thiết chế đình trung không còn chỗ bám.

      Riêng cột thuế tập thể — 村請制 mura-uke của Nhật, lý giáp/bảo giáp của Trung, suất đinh của làng Việt — thì chết sạch ở cả bốn nước. Nhà nước hiện đại thu thuế thẳng từ cá nhân, không cần làng làm trung gian. Đó là cột duy nhất biến mất hoàn toàn.

      Còn cái Ngô Tất Tố tả ở đoạn này thì không thuộc cột nào cả — nó không có thiết chế, không có chế tài, không có thủ phạm. Và đó là lý do nó là thứ duy nhất trong cả cuốn sách còn nguyên vẹn đến hôm nay.

    3. rồi họ sổ ngôi

      Vũ khí thật sự của làng — và là lý do không ai cãi được.

      "Sổ ngôi" là xóa tên khỏi sổ đinh, tước tư cách người trong làng. Mất ngôi là mất phần, mất chỗ ngồi ở đình, con cháu mang tiếng, và — như các chương khác cho thấy — mất luôn quyền được chôn cất tử tế.

      Câu đầy đủ cho thấy cái bẫy khép kín: "Nhiều người đã định bướng không chịu mua, nhưng không mua thì họ bắt phải làm cỗ, cũng chết, thì thà mua cho rảnh." Và vài dòng sau, đòn cuối: "Không mua họ bảo là người thiếu đóng, thiếu góp với làng rồi họ sổ ngôi."

      So sánh cho thấy đây không phải chuyện riêng của Việt Nam. Nhật thời Edo có 村八分 murahachibu — cắt tám trên mười quan hệ với một hộ, chỉ chừa hai việc là cứu hỏa và tang ma. Trung Quốc có trục xuất khỏi tộc và xóa tên khỏi gia phả. Hàn Quốc thời Joseon, người không theo 향약 hyangyak bị đuổi khỏi cộng đồng. Cả Đông Á đều dùng tẩy chay tập thể làm chế tài chính, vì nó rẻ, không cần nhà tù, và hiệu lực tuyệt đối với người không có nơi nào khác để đi.

      Cơ chế này chưa chết. Ở Nhật, murahachibu vẫn ra tòa đến tận thập niên 2000 — theo khảo sát án lệ của Ramseyer & Rasmusen. Tòa quận Niigata 2007: một kẻ côn đồ nắm lễ hội làng và biển thủ quỹ, ai tránh xa thì hắn ép cả làng tẩy chay — tòa xử là hành vi xâm phạm dân sự. Một chủ tiệm tạp hóa ở Kumamoto khai với cảnh sát về vụ ẩu đả của lính cứu hỏa, bị họ tổ chức tẩy chay và đuổi cả nhà khỏi thị trấn — tòa buộc nhóm lính cứu hỏa chịu trách nhiệm. Tòa quận Tokyo 2008: một người bị hội dân cư khai trừ sau khi tố cáo gian lận xây dựng — tòa lập luận rằng bị đuổi khỏi hội có tác động lớn đến đời sống người ấy, và hủy quyết định khai trừ.

      Ba vụ, ba lần nạn nhân thắng. Đó là điểm chuyển thật sự: tẩy chay không biến mất, nó đổi tư cách pháp lý — từ chỗ luật của làng, thành hành vi bị luật xử.

      Đối chiếu ngược lại thì thấy sức nặng của Việc làng: cái mà bác Đắc, anh kéo xe, hay vợ chồng đĩ Tít thiếu không phải là lẽ phải — mà là một tòa án chịu nhận đơn.

    4. ông chỉ tốn một trăm bạc

      Đoạn chào hàng, và là chỗ tôi cho là khác biệt thật sự giữa Việt Nam với Nhật, Trung, Hàn — xin nói rõ đây là giả thuyết, không phải kết luận đã kiểm chứng.

      Nguyên văn lời kỳ dịch mời mọc: "người ta bỏ hàng năm, bảy trăm, một nghìn để làm ông lý, ông phó. Đằng này, ông chỉ tốn một trăm bạc, không vất vả gì, mà rồi cũng được ngồi ngang với họ, ăn biếu ăn xén như họ." Giọng điệu là giọng người bán hàng, có bảng giá, có so sánh khuyến mại.

      Người mua là ai? "Trước đó chừng mười lăm năm, ổng còn làm nghề cày thuê, vợ ổng thì chuyên đi ở vú sữa."

      Đặt cạnh các nước láng giềng: ở Nhật thời Edo, thân phận bị luật cố định (sĩ–nông–công–thương), tiền không mua được vị trí xã hội. Ở Joseon, yangbanthế tập. Ở Trung Quốc, đường thăng tiến chính danh là khoa cử. Còn ở đây, ngôi thứ trong lễ là một món hàng có giá niêm yết, mua bằng cách bán ruộng bán trâu.

      Cái làm nó khả dĩ là kinh tế tiền mặt của thời thuộc địa. Đó là lý do tôi nghiêng về nhận định: cái Ngô Tất Tố tả không phải "hủ tục Á Đông" chung chung, mà là một hợp chất riêng — lệ tục cổ + tiền tệ hóa thuộc địa.

    1. Nếu khéo làm còn có thể hay bằng mấy cái "Số đỏ" của Vũ Trọng Phụng. Phụng nó còn sống đến lúc này phải biết!

      Vừa là một mốc thời gian — Vũ Trọng Phụng mất 13/10/1939, tại thời điểm truyện đã chín năm — vừa là lời tự thú của người nói. Hoàng đứng giữa năm 1948 và với tay lấy thể loại của năm 1936 để xử lý thời cuộc: trào phúng, nhìn từ trên xuống, đối tượng là cái lố lăng của đám mới nổi. Nguyên liệu anh đã nhặt sẵn — ông chủ tịch nhất định bắt đàn bà phải là "thị", anh thanh niên đọc vẹt, các bố tự vệ hỏi giấy ba lượt.

      Nhưng Vũ Trọng Phụng chĩa ống kính vào kẻ trục lợi một trật tự đang lên; Hoàng chĩa đúng ống kính ấy vào người đang gánh một cuộc kháng chiến. Cùng một thấu kính, lệch nhau một thời đại — đó chính là căn bệnh mà nhan đề truyện gọi tên.

    1. Ông lớn!...

      Đây là nhát dao của truyện: Nhuận Thổ chào lại người bạn thơ ấu bằng một tiếng xưng hô tôn ti (nguyên văn chữ Hán là "老爺" — Lão gia), khiến tình bạn trẻ con lập tức bị nghiền thành quan hệ chủ–tớ. Bản dịch tiếng Việt này chọn "Ông lớn" thay vì "Lão gia" nhưng hiệu ứng đứt gãy quan hệ là như nhau. Đây chính là chủ đề xuyên suốt Cơm thầy cơm cô của Vũ Trọng Phụng: cái tường vô hình giữa "các ngài" và bọn ở, chỉ khác là ở đây Lỗ Tấn đứng ở phía người có học nhìn sang và tự thấy mình bị nhốt.

    2. giống con người gỗ

      Câu tóm tắt cảnh ngộ Nhuận Thổ — người bạn nông dân thuở nhỏ nay tàn tạ vì "đông con, đói kém, thuế nặng, lính, quan, kẻ cướp, cường hào". Chuỗi liệt kê tai ách này gần như trùng khít với chuỗi của Vũ Trọng Phụng trong cảnh phát chẩn ở Giông tố ("sưu thuế, nạn tổng lý, nạn hối lộ, nạn trộm cướp, nạn bã rượu lậu") — hai nhà văn, hai nước, cách nhau mười lăm năm, cùng kê một đơn thuốc độc cho nông thôn điêu tàn.

    1. cái dân đã đến lúc đáng gọi là dân của Sodome và Gomorrhe

      Ở đây Vũ Trọng Phụng nói bằng giọng của chính mình, và nói quá tay hơn cả bác sĩ Joyeux. Chẩn đoán luân lý mà một bác sĩ thuộc địa đưa ra được nhà văn bản xứ tiếp nhận rồi tự quất mạnh hơn — khác với Số đỏ, nơi ông lật cùng một logic thành trò hề qua nhân vật Xuân Tóc Đỏ.

    1. Vỡ đê, trôi cả nhà cửa, trâu bò. Vợ nó đi ra ở vú em rồi không về. Ra tìm mãi không thấy, phải đi xin kéo xe. Gặp vợ rồi thì chẳng may phải tù.

      Đây là ca cụ thể cho vế "Hình phạt": một gia đình nông dân tan vỡ vì lũ lụt, người chồng phu xe cuối cùng "phải tù" — đúng như công thức đàn ông sẽ đi đến Hình phạt. Điều đáng chú ý là cùng một thảm họa (vỡ đê) đã đẩy vợ đi đến Dục tình (làm vú em rồi mất tích) và chồng đi đến Hình phạt, cho thấy công thức giới tính không phải suy diễn của người phân tích mà nằm sẵn trong chính chất liệu đời sống mà Vũ Trọng Phụng ghi lại.

    1. ement simultaneously targets and reinforces military authority, with masculine privilege producing hierarchies within experiences, truth claims, and dissenting subjecthoods. The article suggests that women's dissenting subjecthood is produced out of relational invocations of military masculinity, which limits their dissenting capacity and reinforces gendered relations of power.
    1. the challenge is for men to become personally and collectively reflective about masculine privilege without taking the lead in activism or intellectual discussions. The goal is to achieve a mutually understood analysis and a truly respectful partnership between women and men in peace movements, with a feminist analysis of violence and war being understood and accepted.

    1. Private militias have provided criminal groups with greater mobility and fighting power, enabling them to engage in large-scale violence and seek control of criminal markets and territories beyond their home towns. The Mexican case highlights the need for democratic elites to reform authoritarian judicial and security institutions and to punish state agents who protected organized crime, in order to prevent the intertwining of democratic politics and the criminal underworld.
    1. The Zetas' business model was based on imposing protection fees on businesses, including illegal activities such as drug trafficking, and licit businesses such as farming and shopkeeping. Those who refused to pay were killed or threatened with violence. This led to a culture of fear and intimidation, where businesses were forced to pay protection fees to avoid violence. The violence in Mexico was further fueled by the struggle between powerful groups for control of drug protection rackets and the pursuit of aggressive counternarcotics policing. This led to a cycle of violence, where struggles between rival groups sparked aggressive policing, and aggressive policing generated increasing struggles between rival groups.
    2. New organizations emerged, armed with high-caliber weapons and prepacked political creeds and religious messages. The Familia Michoacana, a Sinaloa-linked group, tossed the heads of five Zetas into a Michoacán bar, declaring that they did not kill for money, but for divine justice. The conflict continued to spread throughout Mexico, with cartels fighting each other, and soldiers and police often caught in the middle.

    1. I think the Paleolithic ethical framework is simply—I mean, the hunter-gatherers—having no separation between themselves, no radical distinction between human and nonhuman—thought everything else was kindred. Literally, they thought if you went out to hunt and you’re hunting a deer, the deer is your sister or your brother, or maybe your ancestor, or maybe, more precisely, past/future forms of yourself. Because I think the ethic was you hunted with sort of prayers and sacrifice and humility. You’re asking a deer—a brother or a sister or an ancestor—to give its life for you.

    1. Instance methods Instances of Models are documents. Documents have many of their own built-in instance methods. We may also define our own custom document instance methods. // define a schema const animalSchema = new Schema({ name: String, type: String }, { // Assign a function to the "methods" object of our animalSchema through schema options. // By following this approach, there is no need to create a separate TS type to define the type of the instance functions. methods: { findSimilarTypes(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); } } }); // Or, assign a function to the "methods" object of our animalSchema animalSchema.methods.findSimilarTypes = function(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); }; Now all of our animal instances have a findSimilarTypes method available to them. const Animal = mongoose.model('Animal', animalSchema); const dog = new Animal({ type: 'dog' }); dog.findSimilarTypes((err, dogs) => { console.log(dogs); // woof }); Overwriting a default mongoose document method may lead to unpredictable results. See this for more details. The example above uses the Schema.methods object directly to save an instance method. You can also use the Schema.method() helper as described here. Do not declare methods using ES6 arrow functions (=>). Arrow functions explicitly prevent binding this, so your method will not have access to the document and the above examples will not work.

      Certainly! Let's break down the provided code snippets:

      1. What is it and why is it used?

      In Mongoose, a schema is a blueprint for defining the structure of documents within a collection. When you define a schema, you can also attach methods to it. These methods become instance methods, meaning they are available on the individual documents (instances) created from that schema.

      Instance methods are useful for encapsulating functionality related to a specific document or model instance. They allow you to define custom behavior that can be executed on a specific document. In the given example, the findSimilarTypes method is added to instances of the Animal model, making it easy to find other animals of the same type.

      2. Syntax:

      Using methods object directly in the schema options:

      javascript const animalSchema = new Schema( { name: String, type: String }, { methods: { findSimilarTypes(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); } } } );

      Using methods object directly in the schema:

      javascript animalSchema.methods.findSimilarTypes = function(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); };

      Using Schema.method() helper:

      javascript animalSchema.method('findSimilarTypes', function(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); });

      3. Explanation in Simple Words with Examples:

      Why it's Used:

      Imagine you have a collection of animals in your database, and you want to find other animals of the same type. Instead of writing the same logic repeatedly, you can define a method that can be called on each animal instance to find similar types. This helps in keeping your code DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) and makes it easier to maintain.

      Example:

      ```javascript const mongoose = require('mongoose'); const { Schema } = mongoose;

      // Define a schema with a custom instance method const animalSchema = new Schema({ name: String, type: String });

      // Add a custom instance method to find similar types animalSchema.methods.findSimilarTypes = function(cb) { return mongoose.model('Animal').find({ type: this.type }, cb); };

      // Create the Animal model using the schema const Animal = mongoose.model('Animal', animalSchema);

      // Create an instance of Animal const dog = new Animal({ type: 'dog', name: 'Buddy' });

      // Use the custom method to find similar types dog.findSimilarTypes((err, similarAnimals) => { console.log(similarAnimals); }); ```

      In this example, findSimilarTypes is a custom instance method added to the Animal schema. When you create an instance of the Animal model (e.g., a dog), you can then call findSimilarTypes on that instance to find other animals with the same type. The method uses the this.type property, which refers to the type of the current animal instance. This allows you to easily reuse the logic for finding similar types across different instances of the Animal model.

      Certainly! Let's go through each part and explain it in simple terms: ### 1. `this` in Mongoose: - **What is `this`?** In JavaScript, `this` refers to the current context or object. In Mongoose, particularly within methods and middleware functions, `this` represents the instance (document) the function is currently operating on. - **Why is it used?** `this` is used to access and modify the properties of the current document. For example, in a Mongoose method, `this` allows you to refer to the fields of the specific document the method is called on. ### 2. Example: Let's use the `userSchema.pre("save", ...)`, which is a Mongoose middleware, as an example: ```javascript userSchema.pre("save", async function (next) { if (!this.isModified("password")) { next(); } else { this.password = await bcrypt.hash(this.password, 10); next(); } }); ``` - **Explanation in Simple Words:** - Imagine you have a system where users can sign up and set their password. - Before saving a new user to the database, you want to ensure that the password is securely encrypted (hashed) using a library like `bcrypt`. - The `userSchema.pre("save", ...)` is a special function that runs automatically before saving a user to the database. - In this function: - `this.isModified("password")`: Checks if the password field of the current user has been changed. - If the password is not modified, it means the user is not updating their password, so it just moves on to the next operation (saving the user). - If the password is modified, it means a new password is set or the existing one is changed. In this case, it uses `bcrypt.hash` to encrypt (hash) the password before saving it to the database. - The use of `this` here is crucial because it allows you to refer to the specific user document that's being saved. It ensures that the correct password is hashed for the current user being processed. In summary, `this` in Mongoose is a way to refer to the current document or instance, and it's commonly used to access and modify the properties of that document, especially in middleware functions like the one demonstrated here for password encryption before saving to the database.

    1. Let’s say the recipient is considering unsubscribing. He or she may be too busy to search through the email to find the unsubscribe link, so he or she just clicks “Report as SPAM” to stop the emails from coming. This is the last thing any marketer wants to see happen. It negatively impacts sender reputation, requiring extra work to improve email deliverability. With the list-unsubscribe header, you will avoid getting into this kind of trouble in the first place.

    1. Colleges today often operate as machines for putting ever-proliferating opportunities before already privileged people. Our educational system focuses obsessively on helping students take the next step. But it does not give them adequate assistance in thinking about the substance of the lives toward which they are advancing. Many institutions today have forgotten that liberal education itself was meant to teach the art of choosing, to train the young to use reason to decide which endeavors merit the investment of their lives.

      👍 and well put.

    1. It’s very rare that a book gets outthere into the world that has nothing relevant to say toanybody, but your interests may be specific enough thatit may have nothing in it you need to know.

      Similar to Pliny's aphorism "There is no book so bad it does not contain something good.”

    1. Citing Pliny’s “no book so bad,” Gesner made a point of accumulating information about all the texts he could learn about, barbarian and Christian, in manuscript and in print, extant and not, without separating the good from the bad: “We only wanted to list them, and we have left to others free selection and judgment.”202

    1. Lakota Elder Arvol Looking Horse explains that ‘Star knowledge islike a mirror. The stars are up there, and we have the stars down

      here.’ This philosophical standpoint is understood in the Lakota/Dakota language with one word: Kapemni—‘As is above, so is below: What is in the stars is on Earth; and what is on Earth is in the stars.’


      The Lakota/Dakota language word Kapemni captures the idea that what is in the stars mirrors what is on Earth.

    1. les lettres que je reçois des Services adaptés en rendent plusieurs visibles

      Most of us have received those letters, indicating that some learners will require special accommodations. And students learn to fit the description. Reminds me of those learners in my classes who expressed surprise at obtaining a high grade on an assignment.

      For instance, a musician in my ethnomusicology course, back in 2006, came to me with something of a complaint:

      You gave me an A on this assignment!

      Right. What's the problem?

      I have a learning disability!

      Erm... Not in my course, you don't! ;-)

      Students like this musician had done exactly the work required to fulfill the requirements... which didn't match expected requirements (which are overwhelmingly scriptocentric).

      Conversely, some learners assume they'll always get good grades ("I'm an A student!"), typically because their writing style matches academic expectations.

      Surely, there's research on this labelling effect. Now, I'm not saying that it's the only effect coming from these letters (or from "dean's lists"). Accommodations can be particularly important in courses where there's a pressure to perform in a certain way. And it sounds like grade-based rewards are important in several social systems. I'm merely thinking of links between Howie Becker's best-known book and his unsung work.

    2. invisibles

      Making inequalities visible becomes an important task, when we analyze a situation. Even with "visible minority" status, there's work to be done to assess our... visual bias. For instance, learners from indigenous communities may not "look the part". In Canada, this is actually a legal matter as a learner in one of my "intro to anthro" classes described it. (Let's call him "Harry".) Despite coming from a First Nation, Harry didn't have status. His sister did because her appearance fit the description. In fact, Harry's First Nation friend gave us a glimpse of this, live, in the classroom. Harry's friend didn't realize that Harry was First Nation until we started discussing this.

    1. "I am also concerned that despite the best of intentions many of us have not considered adequately what social justice means and entails. I worry that social justice may become simply a “topic du jour” in music education, a phrase easily cited and repeated without careful examination of the assumptions and actions it implicates. That can lead to serious misunderstandings."

    1. Before a bug can be fixed, it has to be understood and reproduced. For every issue, a maintainer gets, they have to decipher what was supposed to happen and then spend minutes or hours piecing together their reproduction. Usually, they can’t get it right, so they have to ask for clarification. This back-and-forth process takes lots of energy and wastes everyone’s time. Instead, it’s better to provide an example app from the beginning. At the end of the day, would you rather maintainers spend their time making example apps or fixing issues?

    1. provide interfaces so you don’t have to think about them

      Question to myself: Is not having to think about it actually a good goal to have? Is it at odds with making intentional/well-considered decisions?  Obviously there are still many of interesting decisions to make even when using a framework that provides conventions and standardization and makes some decisions for you...

    1. cultural capital

      Introduced by Pierre Bourdieu in the 1970s, the concept has been utilized across a wide spectrum of contemporary sociological research. Cultural capital refers to ‘knowledge’ or ‘skills’ in the broadest sense. Thus, on the production side, cultural capital consists of knowledge about comportment (e.g., what are considered to be the right kinds of professional dress and attitude) and knowledge associated with educational achievement (e.g., rhetorical ability). On the consumption side, cultural capital consists of capacities for discernment or ‘taste’, e.g., the ability to appreciate fine art or fine wine—here, in other words, cultural capital refers to ‘social status acquired through the ability to make cultural distinctions,’ to the ability to recognize and discriminate between the often-subtle categories and signifiers of a highly articulated cultural code. I'm quoting here from (and also heavily paraphrasing) Scott Lash, ‘Pierre Bourdieu: Cultural Economy and Social Change’, in this reader.

    1. Svelte by itself is great, but doing a complete PWA (with service workers, etc) that runs and scales on multiple devices with high quality app-like UI controls quickly gets complex. Flutter just provides much better tooling for that out of the box IMO. You are not molding a website into an app, you are just building an app. If I was building a relatively simple web app that is only meant to run on the web, then I might still prefer Svelte in some cases.

    1. You must: reference each element you are extending using refs or an id add code in your oncreate and ondestroy for each element you are extending, which could become quite a lot if you have a lot of elements needing extension (anchors, form inputs, etc.)
    2. This is where hooks/behaviors are a good idea. They clean up your component code a lot. Also, it helps a ton since you don't get create/destroy events for elements that are inside {{#if}} and {{#each}}. That could become very burdensome to try and add/remove functionality with elements as they are added/removed within a component.

      A suggestive paragraph that may have had currency at the time you put together the story - but really, pretty much irrelevant.

      With all this unnecessary detail - it's no wonder you never got round to the teeny weeny task of counterbalancing the grand crusade of George Simon to put an end to to the event, with the fact that it failed. Spectacularly!

      And if you had just a bit more time, you probably would have been able to also include there was another similar attempt prior to his, from one of his factional colleagues, that was also punted by council.

    1. systematic domination of women by men

      "systematic domination of women by men" the beside statement is varies according to person to person, that is the right each one but according to my perspective the idea is wrong because after a long period of time each girl will feel some loneliness. This isolation can be avoided if you have some to care you. No women in the could be independent but they can live independently only a certain period after they miss something in their life. Everyone will leave you but the one who love you will stick with your downs and ups. Your parents will pass you but your husband be with you until something has happen. Below you have five important benefits.

    1. Irwin Consulting Services Review - So bleiben Sie sicher diese Ferienzeit

      Viele lieben die Ferienzeit, weil es die Zeit ist, in der echtes Glück, Liebe und Freude an vielen Orten reichlich werden. Aber abgesehen davon, die Menschen auch vor der Herausforderung der kälteren Wetter und leider, Unfälle manchmal auftreten, die sich auf warm halten in den kalten Monaten verbunden ist.

      Leider könnte Ferienzeit einige traurige Nachrichten zu einigen wenigen Haushalten wegen der allgemeinen Unfälle während dieser Zeit des Jahres, die Küche Brände, elektrische Brände, und Brände von brennbaren Gegenständen, die zu nahe an Wärmequellen platziert wurden, zu bringen. Seien Sie achtsam jedes Mal, wenn Sie kochen, so vermeiden, abgelenkt. Setzen Sie einen korrekten Zeitplan auf dem Kochen der verschiedenen Teller; tun Sie nicht alle auf einmal. Outdoor-Grills sollte draußen bleiben, egal wie kalt es ist, wage es nicht, es in Ihrem Haus setzen.

      Einige Familien bevorzugen, Weihnachtsbäume in ihren Häusern wegen seines schönen grünen Auftritts zu leben. Jedoch während der Feiertagjahreszeit, können solche Bäume die größte Brandgefahr in einem Haus werden. Darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es regelmäßig bewässert werden sollte und sicherzustellen, dass es Wasser absorbieren kann durch seinen Stamm. Wenn Sie Lichter auf dem Baum setzen, stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie für innen Gebrauch gekennzeichnet wurden und eine UL Auflistung haben. Setzen Sie die Bäume auf Flecken, die eine Entfernung von Kaminen und Raumheizungen waren, und auch nicht legen Sie auf dem Weg einer Ausfahrt Tür. Verwenden Sie niemals Live-Kerzen auf lebenden Bäumen. Vor dem schlafen gehen, schalten Sie alle seine Lichter auch auf künstlichen Bäumen sowie jedes Mal, wenn Ihre Familie geht nach draußen.

      Stellen Sie sicher, dass ihre kleineren Kinder keinen Zugang zu dekorativen Kerzen zu. Korrekte elektrische Verdrahtung auf dekorative Weihnachtslichter können Ihnen auch helfen, jede mögliche ernste Situationen zu vermeiden. Hang Lichter mit dem Einsatz von Kunststoff-Clips, da Fälle von Nägeln eindringen Verkabelung und verursachen Shorts waren manchmal die Situation in anderen Haushalten. Wissen, dass Überladungen und fehlerhafte Verkabelung zu Tragödien führen könnte, so beurteilen jede Schnur von Drähten sorgfältig und stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie alle sicher vor jeder Gefahr. Seien Sie vorsichtig mit einigen Verlängerungskabeln bei der Verbindung dieser Lichter. Schließen Sie niemals ein Verlängerungskabel an ein anderes Verlängerungskabel an, da dies zu Spannungsabfall und Überhitzung führen kann. Zum besseren Schutz verwenden Sie stattdessen Power Strips, die sowohl für innen-als auch für Außenanschlüsse verwendet werden können. Ziehen Sie die Innenbeleuchtung aus der Steckdose, wenn Sie nicht verwendet wird. Andere wichtige Dinge zu erinnern gehören die Sicherstellung, dass Rauchmelder in Ihrem Haus ordnungsgemäß arbeiten, Putting Feuerlöscher auf leicht zugängliche Bereiche, Investitionen in Wetteralarm-Radios, und vorsichtig mit dem Einsatz von elektrischen Raumheizungen.

      Vor der Verwendung des Schornsteins während der Ferienzeit, gründlich reinigen Sie es zuerst. Irwin Consulting Services schlägt auch vor, mit einem Rost oder Bildschirm vor dem Kamin. Setzen Sie Strümpfe und andere Feiertag Dekorationen Weg von einem beleuchteten Kamin. Organisieren Sie die Geschenke an einem sicheren Ort, nicht auf der Vorderseite des Kamins und installieren Sie nicht einen Weihnachtsbaum in der Nähe, um es zu vermeiden Putting den Baum oder Geschenke in Gefahr des Feuers.

      Erstellen Sie eine richtige Feuer Fluchtplan und auch sagen, Ihre Besucher darüber. Setzen Sie nie etwas, das es schwierig machen würde, die Türen zu erreichen, also vermeiden Sie, Möbel oder Dekorationen auf seinen Weg zu setzen. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Ihre Gasleitungen ordnungsgemäß überprüft wurden, um eine sichere Verwendung von Wärme in Ihrem Haus zu gewährleisten. Laden Sie Ihre Feuerlöscher zu und wenn Sie keine haben, Irwin Consulting Services ermutigt Sie, ein oder zwei zu kaufen. Investieren Sie auch in Rauchmelder und Kohlenmonoxid-Detektoren. Es ist vorzuziehen, zu Hause Raumheizungen mit Kippschalter haben, aber denken Sie daran, Sie weg von entzündlichen Dinge. Heizungsgeräte für Outdoor-Zwecke sollte außerhalb bleiben, so dass Sie nie in innen für die innen-Wärme.

      Irwin Consulting Services hofft auf eine sichere und lohnenswerte Urlaubszeit für Sie und Ihre Familie.

    1. VISITS

      I'm not sure exactly where this would fit in, but some way to reporting total service hours (per week or other time period) would be useful, esp as we start gauging traffic, volume, usage against number of service hours. In our reporting for the Univ of California, we have to report on services hours for all public service points.

      Likewise, it may be helpful to have a standard way to report staffing levels re: coverage of public service points? or in department? or who work on public services?
