But optimizing for those with no development experience isn't one of the goals of React. From the "thinking in react" page in the docs,

"React is, in my opinion, the premier way to build big, fast Web apps with JavaScript."

Nowhere in the documentation does it stress that it's easy to learn or ideal for beginners. If you don't know Javascript, writing React applications (or any application, really) is going to be painful. Full stop. JSX adds cognitive load when writing code, but reduces cognitive load when comparing the DOM to the component that created it. Given the amount of time I spent debugging and refactoring, I'm happy to use JSX.
The answer is basically that the company dies and customers get nothing.

We (Pantelligent, YC W13) did a Kickstarter, then successfully shipped to customers, and are now transitioning to normal orders. Our actual production costs and timeline were within ~15% of our before-the-fact spreadsheet estimates, but then again, we were experienced engineers who know how to ship hardware & software products, which is quite unlike most new entrants.

Just within the "temperature controlled cooking products" space, I could name a bunch of "competitors," but not a single one besides ourselves has shipped, with the exception of the existing sous-vide field which has had more time to develop and is fairly simple from an engineering perspective. Most of these products will likely never ship.

Sadly, crowdfunding usually leads to dramatic overpromising on features (some of which are not even manufacturable!), and severe and unsustainable underpricing, in order to drive pre-orders. That's just a recipe for disappointed customers and dead companies.
Isn't that the idea? My impression is that it's a format introduced to help publishers like Nature introduce frictions to copying their content.
What about ODF? The Open Document Foundation has been separate from the content creation applications for a couple of years now.
Right - but obviously it levels out in older demographics to be pretty constant. I wonder what those numbers look like for subscription sharing across other markets.

It's not suffer from retractions, but benefit from them. No one bothers to find errors in weak papers and weak journals don't bother to publish retractions. You would expect more retractions for the best journals because they still have decent standards.

Related anecdote: I had a confererence publish a completely plagiarized article of mine, changing only the names of the authors. The paper still contained recognizable photos of my students performing the experiments. I reported this to the confererence and to the IEEE which owned the copyright to our original paper. No action of any kind was taken. Not even a 'knock it off' email.

I think that's quite an interesting conversation to have, personally. You, for example, assign a great deal of importance to things like building skyscrapers or going to the moon but given enough scale those activities are meaningless when compared to the other animals running around on this planet.

This is my biggest feature request here as well. I'll often write a lot of small comments inline in the diff, and a bigger comment on the PR itself tying everything together. It'd be nice to be able to submit it all at once, with the ability to reference inline comments in my main comment.

The code that I have to work with is static. It just happens to be JavaScript. Aside from writing some type casts and a linked list implementation, the standard implementation for a project like this doesn't have to be large. And yes, it boils down to a trivial C compiler.

Also, Uglify 2 modifies global properties if you tell it to, and neither uglify nor closure compiler do well with object properties, which can be renamed.

All of these arguments assume that a developer is unaware or not understanding of the mechanisms that their code uses. It seems no one is interested in using anything other than emscripten/LLVM.
Yeah, it seems weak. In figure 1 it is obvious that a spike of 7 students carry the negative correlation. Without them it would disappear.
It depends on the kind of work you do and on your boss. I think people working in software companies have great freedom in their time management and can easily extend the lunchtime to get a nap after lunch.

Which is an especially stupid argument considering cancer is a natural process run amok.

We don't actually know this. We don't really understand what cancer is. We know that in some cases viral infection is the cause of a specific cancer, but we don't really know the exact mechanism behind what makes cancer, cancer.

I am not a fan of the idea of "auto-immune disease." I think that's bullshit. I think it basically is an admission we have no fucking clue what we are talking about.

The body does things for a reason. Just because we don't understand it does not mean the body has simply lost its mind.

We fundamentally need a better mental model of these things.

27 years old lead, reporting in. Just curious if you would tell me I'm no lead material.

Now, on one hand, I dropped out and been in the industry (gamedev) for the last ten years. On the other hand, I've actually been on designer and producer positions for the first 6. But then again, on the third hand, I was programming non-stop since 8 and turned in MIX emulator (from Knuth's books) as a school project at 15.

So, may be we can at least agree that any broad statements about professional level of huge groups of people united only by their age, race, country of origin or other unrelated stuff are unlikely to be true for everyone in that group, because people are unique and deserve to be judged individually?
I'm thinking of a less than ambitious angle to the use of AI or at least parsing algorithms: cross referencing commonly researched subjects and methods. If say a certain method seems to yield less than ideal results it would be nice to know if someone else figured out the problem well in advance of any laboratory work. Feeding that sort of information into a computer would be dead simple since I assume most methods are easily categorized as it is.
As a note to people fearful of indulging past the abstract, from what I understand, Scientific Reports are meant to be read across a field of science, so it should be somewhat approachable compared to your average research paper. I found it readable and interesting with only a few confusing moments that didn't distract from the main point.
OCR for historical literature is a really hard problem. Beyond the fact that OCR quality is pretty low, perception of the meaning of the papers isn't addressed by that. So it makes it easier to access (can read papers on the net rather than going to a library) but that's about it.
We are using PDFs because they have universal adoption and, importantly, they reliably produce the same document everywhere. Most alternatives you might think of will give variable results on different machines.

There definitely needs to be something that makes it easier to parse and otherwise interact with a PDF. But, for network-effect reasons, it's probably easier to introduce a parseable overlay for PDFs than to replace the format wholesale.
IMO, these companies would be insane not to pre-make suitable food in large quantities (curries, etc) in order to achieve profitability at reasonable pricepoints.

Whether or not React's goal is to cater to beginners doesn't make the argument any less valid. Also React doesn't equal JSX. The React docs also mention how to do things without JSX.

Maybe it's the article's title that has understandably rankled some people by seemingly maligning JSX. However, I think it's a very valid concern to have when ramping up a team that's unfamiliar with JS and React.
The purpose is to limit the number of steps in development.

If only 50% of users are running the WebAssembly version of a product, and 50% are running the JavaScript version of the product, then both need to be stable.

Meal sharing concept is too finicky IMO. These places doing pre-made, delivered food are on the right track but I imagine the delivery component is a heavy cost.

I'd be curious to know if any of the food delivery apps have incentivised delivery to grouped buyers. e.g., $10 if someone buys, $8 if 5+ people in the same street buy, etc. Encourage delivery efficiency and also delegate marketing to word of mouth.
Star Wars Battlefront Is Coming to VR
That's one hypothesis, although they hypothesized this is true for the girls, at least specifically picking up cues from math anxious teachers. However, the social awareness isn't as strong in boys as they say, which lend more evidence to the hypothesis that it's most a "social distraction" thing. Also, they specifically found that Math Anxeity didn't explain the correlation between lack of empathizing and math achievement in their sample set.

Altogether, this seems to violate intuition on multiple levels. One hypothesis they push is that more social children are more easily distracted?
People are also shockingly bad at economics. I remember from the econ101 course I was required to take that it's just the possible intersection of curves between what supply can cost and what demand is willing to pay in order to maximize profit.

A missing element is that often someone who has a copy of the content has a choice between buying another copy for someone else to read or loaning their own copy (book lending). If the marginal cost of buying a new copy is less than the overhead involved with lending another copy (often beneath impulse buy price) someone is MUCH more likely to buy a copy as a gift. Think about how much someone is willing to pay for a newspaper. I think 0.25 USD or less would be the natural price per copy. Copies should NOT have DRM. Just price them inexpensively enough that people don't feel a need to share it for free.

Web 2016 is the return of capitalism to the productive capacities of the Web. The version that we're returning to is the late 20th century capitalism that is most definitely marked by giant media conglomerates with monopolistic tendencies.

Bitcoin is an interesting technology to work with because it is also about capitalism, but with a return to more outdated notions individual-centric as opposed to corporate-centric exchanges of value.

This makes Bitcoin and other blockchains the perfect engines to build digital property systems that can support marketplaces for intellectual property, modeled not on the late 20th century notions of copyright, rather the way the systems worked in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The problem with what Java calls a `List` is that it really isn't a list. It's a mutable cell, whose contents at any given point in time is a list. The methods of the mutable cell let you replace the list with a new one, which happens to be partially based on the old one. Also, because Java's data structures are usually ephemeral, the new list can be created in the same place where the old list was.

A type constructor of lists (which Java's standard library doesn't have to the best of my knowledge) is covariant on its element type, but a type constructor of mutable cells is invariant on its content type.

Hmm -- I'm not you, and I wasn't there. But something tells me you're looking at this (retroactively) as a "glass half-empty" thing. As in: "they must have seen some big negatives in me, otherwise they wouldn't have asked that question, about [past history]."

Whereas you could have also looked at it this way: "They must have seen some big positives in me, being as they asked me to come talk to them, knowing full well about [past history]." You know, the glass half-full route.

But then again, I'm not you, and I wasn't there.
Well one thing you have to remember about Reddit is that every subreddit is basically a totally different forum, with different moderators, different rules to an extent, and a totally different crowd. The people who hang out on /r/Linux are not likely to be the same people who hang out on /r/Windows for instance, and there's plenty of subreddits that don't cater to tech crowds much at all. So what gets modded up or down will vary wildly from subreddit to subreddit.

But I definitely do feel the hivemind effect is greater here, at least in my personal experience (however I do not frequent /r/programming so I can't speak for that subreddit specifically). I constantly see posts down-modded here for no good reason, other than that someone doesn't like them because they go against the viewpoint of the elites here. I feel this is inevitable where you have a system where some people are "more equal" than others, as it is here. It might seem better in one way, with fewer "low-value comments" and jokes and memes and such, but it also turns into an echo chamber with misfits forced out.
I heard from Paul Ginsparg that bioArxiv's original raison d'etre was to give biologists more assistance in producing professionally typeset documents since far fewer of them know LaTeX then physicists. This was going to be funded by a submission fee of ~$50. That idea was apparently nixed, so that the difference with the arXiv are now mostly cosmetic (with the notable exception that bioArxiv has commentary).

Fractionalization is generally undesirable, but it's plausible that bioArxiv can make tweaks that accelerate adoption among biologists compared to arXiv.
> its only in programming that raw skills can get you anywhere.

The skill of programming is more like carpentry, mechanic, heavy machinery operation, or machining. I'm not going to higher a carpenter that can't tell the difference between a hammer and a saw, and I won't find a machinist useful if they can't run a lathe.

We need to start thinking of programming as a journeyman tradecraft career.
So are kids with higher empathy bad at math, leading to the environment where being bad at math makes you more popular?

Why is foreign object mass alone more relevant than its mass and density when it comes to ensuring turbine engine containment in an ingestion event?

Bird have a known density. Drones have variable density. And since the tests thus far are done with birds I think it's unknown what happens when drone X is ingested into a turbine engine.

The other fallacy is comparing birds were have minimal control over, vs man made aircraft that should be as capable of avoidance as the current regime.

With all due respect, a book is nothing like technical documentation. The biggest issue with documentation is that it needs a lot of structure. To do interesting things you need to be able to mark certain passages of text as special (e.g. this term is in the glossary; this block is a method signature), and you need hierarchical structure (e.g. you can't just have bullets points that appear more or less indented, you need some bullet points to be children of other bullet points). That's what Markdown is terrible at.

false dichotomy.

The reality is that security is also suffering when you weaken encryption. Do you want people to be able to track your children? Do you want criminals to know when you are home? Do you want stackers reading messages of their victims? Do you want rapist to know where you and your friends go camping?

These are just things outside the problem that their is a multibillion doller industry depending on encryption in the internet.
