I feel a similar struggle on Wikipedia where I have to revert a ton of good-faith edits. The editors think they're improving the article, but it always falls afoul of being original research or trivia. I'd hate to discourage potential editors so I always explain why in human terms [0] in the edit summaries but to them it probably solidifies in their mind that Wikipedia is byzantine and bureaucratic. I'd much rather prefer to write content than edit war with newbies, but unfortunately every article has a half-life [1] if its not maintained. Just like for Stack Overflow, caring about the health and quality of the community is often mistaken for elitism and being territorial. (Or maybe it's a natural defense against eternal september?)

Interesting. I've visualized the numbers 1-100 as a specific path of tiles, sort of like a hopscotch grid, since i was like 3 or 4. 1-20 is a straight path rising in elevation, descending back to the ground from 10-20. At 20 the path turns right until 40, at which point it turns left and goes up from 40-100. At the boundary between 100 and 101 there's a "gate", sort of like a skylight. 100-200 takes a totally different path than 1-100. Pretty weird, i have no idea why my mind does this.

There is a place for hybrid apps but it is a specialized place: If you have so much content that changes so fast and that needs so many variations in rendering that you end up building something browser-ish to render it, as in a large e-commerce site with dozens of product categories, each with specialized presentation requirements, use a WebView in the parts of the app that display that content.

But if you app has a less challenging kind of content to present, use a native app. If you don't, you are not being very nice to your user. In addition to not presenting the nicest UI, you're using up the user's battery and crowding other apps out of memory.

Maybe. If within 2 generations everything has switched it'll likely be fine, although many not-easily-replaceable devices (like cars, for instance) will still use the old port.

I think the concern is that everything won't be standardized within 2 generations, and instead we'll see the slow death of third party cables. And if that happens, it's likely that increased DRM and reduced freedom will follow.

Nice tut, although I've learned one thing during past couple of months of developing with Redux: middleware is very useful and often quite an overlooked/underused part of the stack.

In this tutorial, the author makes the call directly in an action, which is not its responsibility. Here's an example of the "api" middleware we've developed (https://gist.github.com/tomazzaman/a98f5ad3f052592e564862e4d...), and the beautiful part is, this is the only file in which async calls are made. And it's a rather small file, which allows me to change to any ajax library (like the native fetch when it gets more support) I want at any time, with very little development.

Bottom line: middleware is awesome, give it a try. :)
The thing that always gets me about people who sell "success" and "wealth" products is that there would be no need to sell them if the product was truly that good.

Likewise with books that promise to teach you how to make a trillion dollars in the stock market. Really? You've found a way to do this, yet you want to sell me a book for $9.95?

There seems to be a big blind spot in these Real World React+Redux tutorials when it comes to forms.

For example, say I have a page with reviews on it. So there's a Component that handles editing a review. Where does the state for all the form inputs go? Does it go in the Redux store? If it does, then every time the user types a letter you get an event, which goes walking backward through the component tree until it hits the review editor Controller, which generates an action, which dispatches to the store, which gets reduced causing a state change, which then percolates back up through the Controller/Component tree to finally add that letter to the input. That walking back and forth is bad enough on its own, let alone generating an entirely new state (because the state is immutable) for every single letter the user types. It's inefficient, and it adds noise into the action log.

The alternatives seem to be storing the state in the component in which the typing is happening, or in the parent Controller, and then only generating update actions against the store when some "finished typing" event occurs (i.e. onBlur or timeout). Of course this seems to go against the idealistic implementation of Redux where all the state is stored in that one state object and it's immutable.

My point being, I haven't stumble across a "real world" tutorial that goes over this stuff. I wouldn't quibble about that normally, as I'm happy to play around and find the solution on my own, but this feels like such a common and important task (what website doesn't have forms of some kind?) and the performance and maintenance implications of how this is implemented seem large. So it would be nice if there was a "We built this huge web app using React and Redux, this is how we ended up doing forms and it works well for us" article.

I recently had to make that same decision myself, and chose Toronto. The salaries on the jobs I was interviewing for (not to mention perks) were astronomically high. I'd considered just going to work for 3 years, saving as much as I could, then coming back to Canada.

I the end, I worried that I would never come back in spite of my early intentions. Toronto's a great city, and I'm quite comfortable with my compensation, but I don't begrudge anyone who moves for the chance to be instantly wealthy.

Wow. I haven't been following this very closely, and I watched that video expecting to hear something incendiary about the tabloid press... talk about over-delivering!

A.J. Daulerio of Gawker: "If they were a child."

Attorney: "Under what age?"

Daulerio: "Four."

Look into computational neuroscience, neural engineering, spiking neurons and spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP). These are more accurate models of biological neurons and their synaptic interactions.

From the Hodgkin-Huxley (HH) neuron model to integrate and fire (I&F) you can approximate and simulate various levels of realism in artificial neural networks. There's even the Nengo library[0] which can simulate these for you in Python. Unfortunately, they're very hard to work with compared to perceptrons, artificial neural networks, and deep learning (see Neural Engineering[1] for a good framework). Additionally, they're far more computationally intensive with the HH model coming in at over 800 FLOPS to the I&F model (which lacks a lot of the behavior and dynamics of biological neurons) which has 7 FLOPS. Then try representing numbers with spiking neurons... You need several dozen, working as a population[2], to accurately represent a single floating point because they're so noisy. This makes working with data pretty difficult and expensive.

it's difficult to analyze the truth value of your thesis because you use words that all have dual meanings, "religious word" vs "naughty word" (swear, oath, profane) and we see from "don't take the Lord's name in vain" the ancient tendency to curse (another religious term) when we wish to indicate anger to the point of irreverence, or just irreverence.

I think a better way to look at it is, we humans have been the way we are for a long time, and we don't "think" in our language, we think in brain language (deep structure and deeper, and the proof is that brain damaged aphasics can forget all the words for emotions but they still can conceptualize them, i.e. thinking is not related to language; deaf people also may never learn language, but they can think)

Humans have a tendency to be religious for whatever reason, and humans have a tendency to get mad and spew a blue streak, and regardless of what your religio-culturo-background, you come from a culture that has ways to communicate what you want, to get the point across that you are at the moment as salty as a sailor.

[As a disclaimer, the following is not an elaborate troll. When I was a practicing scholar of American Literature, psychoanalysis was one of my areas of specialization. What I write below is/was characteristic of psychoanalytic thought in the context of literary and cultural studies. Having left academia 7 years ago, I can see how some of my fellow HNers might be suspicious of such a seemingly convoluted and obtuse form of discourse.]

Though you've been downvoted, the structure of your seemingly casual observation is validated by some of the most renown psychoanalytic and philosophical thinkers of the 20th and 21st centuries. (In the US, psychoanalysis is largely repudiated as a therapeutic pathway for severe mental illness such as paranoid schizophrenia. However, philosophy and psychoanalytic thinking can provide occasionally valuable insights into the nature of human psychology, each capable of being productive and provocative in equal measure.)

In _Jacques Lacan's Four Discourses_ (Lacan has been referred to as the "French Freud"), Slavoj Zizek asks readers to

> Recall, again, Lacan's outrageous statements that, even if what a jealous husband claims about his wife (that she sleeps around with other men) is all true, his jealousy is still pathological. [0]

This is probably a misattribution by Zizek (or a conflation) since Sigmund Freud makes the comparison in the _Standard Edition_ (XVIII, 226).

> Freud suggests that a jealous husband who is obsessed with the idea that his wife is cheating on him can be described as paranoid even if it turns out that his wife is cheating on him. [1]

Without question, the priapic over-concern with the possibility of spousal infidelity is characteristic of masculinist psychoanalytic discourse. However, the kernel of truth in this is that one's internal representation is separate from reality, however closely the two may match. In other words, paranoia is pathological (belief in gang-stalking) even if it is matched by a dysfunctional reality (CIA surveillance) and this can be seen in the opposite case of a naive subject who neither suspects nor fears being surveilled despite being surveilled in reality (e.g. a psychologically healthy subject who is targeted by state surveillance).

In short, paranoid fantasies may in fact be matched by reality, but that does not make the paranoid fantasies any less paranoid. Conversely, blissful ignorance may be contradicted by reality, but that does not necessarily make the subject any less blissful.

(As a bonus, the paragraph from which the Zizek quote is drawn continues in its next sentence to explain how anti-Semitism draws upon psychopathological thinking to validate its ideological end. In other words, anti-Semitism for Zizek is structurally/phenomenologically identical to paranoia.)

WASM isn't even ready for day-to-day use yet, and while ASM.js is mature, V8 has no special optimisations for it.

Furthermore, you're still running the code on the Javascript VM/interpreter, so it's unlikely to give much of a speed boost. The motivation behind WASM and ASM.js both is to cross-compile code from other non-JS languages (generally, C/C++) into code usable from JS.

One small nitpick

> let alone generating an entirely new state (because the state is immutable)

Assuming you're talking about the redux state, this is only if the state changes. Dispatching an action to change the state of your form should cause the form's entire state tree to change at most, and possibly as few as one or zero objects. All those other redux reducers that just return the previous state are not going to have any performance impact.

In effect, your state is immutable but you're only getting "new" state references for a small portion of the state atom, very cheaply.
