Ask HN: What are some well documented ReactJS applications?
I've been getting into developing applications using ReactJS recently, and I've built a few basic applications with it. Can you recommend any medium-sized applications that I could study to gain a better understanding of how a larger application would be structured?
Here's some insight:

The recent deregulation worldwide has sparked a huge increase in the # of low-cost airlines, resulting in a spreading out of passenger load across airlines. Therefore, there aren't as many passengers to carry per airline as before, and A380s and even B747s are no longer needed. In fact, all of the U.S. airlines (Delta, United, American, and smaller ones) are either phasing out or parked all of their jumbos.

Side effect:

Because of the # of increase, air traffic has worsened (e.g. delays at airports) and pollution has increased very rapidly.

>>I'm freaking addicted to information and the internet, which leave me feeling frantic.

You just need to understand you are not missing out on anything by not doing so.

This sort of internet addiction isn't just destroying productivity for grown up adults but studying habits of teenagers and school going kids too.

Try to take it 15 minutes at a time. Try staying away from internet 15 minutes at a time, then the next 15 and so on, I think it should work out perfect well.
Whenever I see such articles, I attribute the cause to collective laziness not economics.
Why are health insurance costs high? Answer: Laziness
Why are drug prices high? Laziness
Why is higher education expensive? Laziness

Somebody is lazy and they don't want to do the important job of making these fundamental things cheaper and accessible. This somebody could be 'we' collectively or govt or companies or just our greed.
You are both right, it just depends on the situation.
Particular categories of criminal activities would surge. A strong argument can be made that the associated problems shouldn't be handled with law enforcement ... but that is not something law enforcement gets to decide, we do.

In a sense we are being crummy bosses, we want our employees to do two mutually incompatible things at the same time. Our conflicted thoughts about things like recreational drugs trickle down into bad policy.
Ask HN: Does asking “Why am I being downvoted” get upvotes?
In Hacker News (and reddit) when a comment is edited that says something like "Why am I being downvoted?" or "I don't usually say this, but why the downvotes?" do people then tend to upvote these more than if they had not been edited?

As an aside, I think there may be two reasons why people edit the post but which are hard to determine externally:

1) "I don't understand why this is being downvoted" they may be saying "I DO understand why this is being downvoted but I think I should have support". It's an appeal for justice, an equalling out.

2) "I don't understand why this is being downvoted" and they actually don't understand why. They are either asking for information to help them understand, or they are admitting they are blinkered in their views and cannot understand why there is opposition. By editing the comment they are appealing for others to back them up.

Another reason could be that they are new users and are unfamiliar with how the platform works, how karma and voting works etc. By asking "why the downvotes" they are saying they do not understand how voting works. Possibly they are comparing the mechanic with Facebook "likes".

Regardless of the reasons for editing a comment such, I think it is a beneficial activity as I believe that by doing so it encourages others to upvote. Is it actually true though? Have you edited your comment in such a way, why? Did it work for you?
Normally I'd call that paranoia. But after reading about the case in which a Goldman Sachs programmer aroused suspicion [0] from the FBI for using "Subversion" and occasionally erasing his "bash history", I think it's reasonable to remember that anything you say can and will be used against use in the eyes of the law

I have never personally seen a company with "bring your dog to work" policies, and I've worked at quite a few. I've never been to a business where it was normal for people to bring their pets in, except for pet stores and veterinarians. I've heard of "bring your dog to work" places, but I suspect it's just some hipster-run startups that are like this. It is not even remotely representative of American business culture.

I think you're been paying too much attention to some small group of Americans and assuming they represent them all. I can't really speak for Millenials and their dogs vs. kids attitudes, but a lot of people do have dogs, but again I don't think it's unusual; Europeans have kept dogs as pets for millennia.

The helicopter parenting, OTOH, is an epidemic in America these days. Now it seems kids under the age of 10 can't go anywhere alone without the cops being called and parents getting in trouble for "child abandonment". It certainly wasn't like that when I was that age in the 1980s.

Interesting hypothesis, but if it's accurate, have we seen a change is pricing pre/post ACA implementation? Theoretically, insurers would have been more active negotiators prior to the ACA. If so, wouldn't that suggest that rising drug prices are more a problem of heavy-handed regulation than private profit motive?
Devil's advocate here : Awareness API.

By making apps aware of your physical condition (are you walking, standing, running, at home, at work, etc ... ) we can make them smarter.

For exemple :
-don't notify me about the daily techmeeting when I am in another country in order to give a talk.

-automatically start recording my run when I start running, not 10 minutes afterwards when I remember to open the app.

It needs to be presented and explained to the users (actually the GPS permission is necessary for any detection tied to the user's location) but it can make apps way smarter.

BTW I'm still able to find myself on a map and look at what's around. Google Maps don't require location tracking for that.
737s and 320s are really popular for short-range flights, while 777s and 330s are the go-to choices for long-range flights.
That says he accepted because he wanted access. Not because he wanted to leak the data. There are plenty of legitimate reasons why someone would find it interesting or fulfilling work to get access to machines on such a big scale. It's prestigious if nothing else.

It's possible he meant for the purpose of leaking data, but it's wrong to assert it only due to your assumptions.
If I clutter my space with a bunch of small things, I find that I think myself to be cluttered, and the disorder causes me unease

My problem with that is that the mess in my room matches the mess inside my head. Do I feel bad that there are things all over the floor? Nope, it is really comfortable because it matches who I am.

I don't know how to solve this problem.

the price increase of silicon valley homes partly is affected by all the foreign capital seeking stable, safe investment in US, particularly China's in the last few years (due to China's exponential growth in debt creation). we should see substantial slowdown/decline in the coming months (because China's economy has stagnated, and because the capital control for most normal citizens have worked)

That doesn't sound healthy. The gym is one place you can relax your mind and not focus on daily worries. To be expecting a call from work ruins that. I'd turn the phone off if politically and practically tenable.
The range is important because historically, small jets had comparatively short ranges. The pattern used to be to use small jets as feeders to major hubs. The large jets would fly between the major hubs. Now, with small jets having greater range, you can send flights direct bypassing the major hub. There is not enough traffic on the route to warrant a large jet, however, so smaller jets with the same range are preferred.

Same thing happened to me with auto insurance. State trooper shows up, asks everyone if they are OK, doesn't take a report because no damage.

A year later my insurance settles with the guy for $4k, and my insurance premium almost doubles.

Medical insurance is the same because the insurer, the drug company, and the doctor ALL benefit from increased prices.
For one, drug companies would probably start making people sign liability waivers before agreeing to sell them a lot of newer drugs.
True, that's a crappy source. But the pentagon/google and in-q-tel/FB connections are well established.
Most lobbying has nothing to do with campaign donations.

People have to register when they work as federal lobbyists. If you look through the rolls you will see that most lobbyists make few if any campaign donations. And most people making campaign donations (especially the big ones) are not lobbyists.

When you see a headline like "Google spent millions on lobbying", none of that money, not one cent, went to a politician or political campaign. The "lobbying spending" that gets reported for companies is the money that paid for salaries, technologies, office space, ads, printing costs, etc.

One of the challenges in the U.S. today is that so few people understand how this stuff actually works.
I'm not going to get into a flame war, but pretty much everything related to libertarians are freedom of choice. I strongly agree that mandatory vaccinations on a national level should not be required.

As long as it does not harm me, I don't think I should disallow someone to do it. That is to say, I don't think I should, or society should pressure our beliefs on others. I would vaccinate my own children because it makes sense to, but I wouldn't force my neighbor to at gun point because that isn't going to help anyone. Which is the whole premise of the libertarian party.
Am I the only one who thinks the great big takeaway from this is the guy works for local motors?!? Talk about landing on your feet. I've wanted to work for them for years, but their need for web developers is small and the timing never quite worked out.

Subverting .NET Type Safety with 'System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe'
Looking forward to donating when they accept bitcoin. I have no expectation he'll be pardoned, but the other important thing here is that there's a documented movement for it. History will show that people wanted this and Obama and Hillary/Trump refused it. It will be more difficult for blind patriotic bias to weasel its way into the history books.
I'd also point out that Virginia tech's campus is fairly rural flat terrain so the risk of running into anything or getting shot down by miscreants is pretty low.
I actually agree with you there. If you browse some of my older comment history, I made that exact point that he trusted a foreign journalist team to filter sensitive NOFORN and SAP information. However, I believe the net good that has come out of that disclosure, and the "I'm doing this to expose deep government malfeasance" as opposed to "The government sucks here's all the data" warrants the difference in treatment.

Edit: That being said, if we ever do get evidence that China or Russia did manage to get that data during his trip there, I'd change my tune immediately. That would be high treason, at least if it was intentional.
Synthetic biology – an interdisciplinary branch of biology and engineering
When I was programming on my Apple ][ during the 80s, my mom would joke that computer minutes must be a lot longer than real minutes, because when she would call me for dinner, I'd tell her I'd be there in five minutes but instead would lose track of time for twenty minutes.

Now, because of smartphones, it seems everyone is caught in this same time distortion field.

As a result I purposefully try to look at my phone as little as possible.

Think of it this way, if through some sort of Matrix like situation our first experience of the outside world was through a small touchscreen, and then suddenly you took the red pill and were put into a world where you could touch, smell and see in full 360 degrees and feel wind and water and move and climb over things and interact with animals etc...it would blow your mind.

So why are we allowing ourselves to limit our experiences in this way?
It felt really one sided.

No mention of the fact that from what I have seen Skyhook solution was beyond shitty and absolutely drained the battery (I had the pleasure to test a Samsung phones using their services a while ago) .

No mention either of the wifi snooping being seemingly a mistake : Google wanted the wifi hotspot id but took too much data by capturing longer data packets than necessary. That's why IMO they only got a slap on the wrist.

I stopped reading the article after that.

And even without that it was pretty obvious who the attackers were given the released data:

1) Focus on US athletes

2) Bear mentioned in name of hackers

3) Focus on sports doping (which Russia was recently found guilty of)

Now I know that many hacks and hackers will obfuscate the trail to them as much as possible but this is a fairly basic attack with little in the way of real impact as a result of the releases. It was obvious even to a non-security professional that the most likely culprits were russian nationalist hackers.

A language without classes that feature inheritance (at least single) can be used for OOP, but cannot be said to have support for it. It may not be central, but it is important.

Java Interfaces are in fact an example of inheritance. Moreover, they are an example of "non OOP inheritance": it's an inheritance of type checking that actually doesn't bring any attributes to an object. It exists in support of compiler diagnostics and compile-time optimization of dispatch.

In some languages (even ones that do support inheritance very well) objects of different types can be substitutable over a common set of functions without any explicit inheritance of interfaces or anything.

We can make a Dog and Cat class in complete isolation from each other, with no common dependency, and give them a speak() method. Then pass an instance of either class to some function which just calls arg.speak(). This produces "bark!" if arg is a Dog, or "meow!" if it is a Cat.

A Java-style interface just makes this dispatch easier to optimize via a static type system, and to implement checks. The function cannot call arg.speak() unless arg is a reference to an ICanSpeak type. That is assured externally because code which passes anything else to that function will not compile. Thus Dog and Cat must inherit this ICanSpeak, which causes their instances to be eligible as arguments to that function. When they implement speak(), their implementation is type-checked against ICanSpeak's speak(): to have the right number of properly typed arguments.
The elephant in the room of the assembled Gaian biomorphs is the Human capacity for discerning meaning. Meaning and consciousness are very much related.

The first way involves setting "global general_log_file", which requires SUPER, which is frankly worse having FILE. The second way ALSO involves "global general_log_file", but is incomplete because "One problem will remain however. MySQL will refuse files that do not start with
a valid [section] header with the message:" It's stated that there is a workaround, but this still requires SUPER. So yeah, you may not need FILE, you just need SUPER instead, but if you are running a webapp with a mysql user that has SUPER, you are still doing it all wrong...
But everything affects others, especially in this ever-more-connected-and-congested world. Standards are useful for computer, and for people.

Libertarianism has attractions, but idealism only goes so far. I believe the Libertarian world would collapse in flames (or disease, or hunger, or congestion).

Suspicious Indeed.
I didn't skip any grades because my dad wouldn't allow it. He had skipped two grades and hated it.

I know a few people who skipped grades, and they were always kind of outsiders. I say this from the standpoint of being part of a very nerdy clique in high school -- those who skipped grades were outsiders compared to us.

I think adults neglect the fact that education is more than just book learning. Youth need to learn social and emotional skills as well. There is more to learn at school that just academic skills, and this goes for all levels. For instance, you can spend 100% of your time on academics in college, but soft skills are at least as important as academic skills in the workplace.

Skipping grades isn't the only way to cripple children socially, and I'm not saying it's a social death sentence. Most of the kids I know who skipped grades are fine now, but some never really recovered, and some bear emotional scars from the experience.

On a similar note, a weird thing I noticed that is kind of similar, is that only children tend to be fairly poor at handling conflict. My theory is that if you are not an only child, you often get in fights with a sibling who you were then forced to be around. (For instance, sitting next to them in a long car ride.) Only children generally can leave situations when they get heated, so they never are forced to work though a conflict.

I might be totally wrong on that point, but I think there is something to the theory. My mom was an only child, and she could never understand how my brother and I could come to blows over one thing, and then be playing a game together ten minutes later. I didn't think much of it till I dated a girl who was raised an only child, and I noticed the same aversion to conflict. Every disagreement had to be resolved, any time we disagreed about something it was considered an argument.

Meanwhile, some of the calmest people I know during disagreements have like 7 siblings.
Tesla fans (e.g over at r/teslamotors) are watching the Chevvy Bolt with interest. Persuading other manufacturers to make electric cars is, after all, consistent with Tesla's mission (accelerate the advent of sustainable transport...). I think the Bolt looks really good, and the recent range announcement is really exciting. I still can't quite believe it is happening, it seems like GM might still mess it up somehow. Will they make the Bolt in large enough numbers? Will the dealerships bury the car and fail to promote it properly? It will be really interesting to see how the launch goes.
