It's crazy to think of the crazy high-speed signals we're now able to send over copper. Think about it: 5Gbit used to only be possible over very expensive hardware and very specialized/isolated cabling. Now it's all over the place: it started with PCIe, then Thunderbolt, then USB3, now Ethernet. And this is thanks to the advances in silicon technology that allows us to manufacture PHYs that are both performant to send/receive these signals and cheap enough to include in consumer hardware. It's not just Moore's law that allows this, but technological advances in signal processing.

In fact I've once read that all these high-speed signals are basically re-using the PCIe PHY. Does anyone with more knowledge of that area of tech know any more about it?
Is it that costly tho?

with App Service you're basically paying for a managed server (patched etc.) and a host of capabilities that VMs don't have out of the box (autoscaling, monitoring etc.)
I second the recommendation for Create-React-App. It's explicitly intended to be a no-config, no-setup, Just Start Writing Code tool with a great developer experience.

Also, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials, articles, and resources for React and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . It's a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem.
Yes, but it's also not diluted with a ton of fiber like fruit; don't be obtuse.
And it works fully on mobile!
Why do you say that's the right way? Is there something intrinsically better about having the state modelled as a stream of changes? Is that really getting rid of mutable state? [EventA, EventB] is a mutation of [EventA], sure it's a WAL style, but the combined final state is a mutated version of the original state.

Presumably the concrete state model (like MobX) is a realisation of the event stream at a moment in time. As far as the user is concerned, the only moment in time that really matters is now.
I don't think this is right... I've been selling on Amazon for years and have never seen buyer phone numbers. I just logged in, and it doesn't show it when viewing an order on the site, nor does it come through in the order management software I use. (In case it matter, I'm talking about Amazon.com not one of the non-US ones, and I have a Professional seller account.)

Edit to add: If there really is a way to get the buyer's phone number, I'd love to know. Some shipping methods need a phone number, and thus far I've always just put my own in when this happens since I didn't have the buyer's one, and hoped it didn't matter.
There's nothing wrong with having a system that uses immutable events to represent data, IMO it's mainly a terminology issue: "Event Sourcing" often implies you're recording rather abstract, high-level events that try to capture something about a particular domain. As opposed to, say, a straight diff between two data-dumps.
Its Comcast, I doubt they could get a good review simply from the piling on that many people do just to be part of the in crowd.

There are many products I do read from the 1 star up direction, but any company as polarizing as Comcast is not one to take most of them seriously.

In all cases just use your head, you cannot do much to help people who want to believe what they read. The only reason the system bothers me is that when it comes to sorts
you probably defended Bell's monopoly in the past? If not, you are being very inconsistent now.
Whether your phone number appears on the shipping label is variable. Based on the 5 fulfilled-by-Amazon (sometimes sold-by-Amazon) packages in my hand, it appears on all the Amazon-as-trucker packages and neither of the USPS packages. I suspect the rules are even more complex than simply "what carrier", but it clearly varies.

Rachmaninoff, Prokofiev, Mussorgsky, Bach, Nikolai Lugansky, Sviatoslav Richter, Evgeny Kissin, Orson Welles, Ilya Repin, Andrei Tarkovsky, Ennio Morricone, Tolstoy, Dostoyevsky, Pushkin, Hunter Thompson, David Foster Wallace, Albert Camus, Kafka, and most of all Heinrich Neuhaus amongst many others. Those are my lifes main influences. Mainly music, some authors, couple of pianists, few painters.

Glenn Gould especially. Check my previous comments for his mentions.

I feel closer to them and their art (especially music) than any friends or family. I hope one day I'll break into that 'sphere' of people but it's going to take a couple of lonely decades and that's ok, and they've made me feel okay with it. I respect the amount of time that goes into works of divinity. With respect to philosophy, I mean in the loosest sense, peoples personal systems of thought, especially those of idols have helped me. PG's essays, Stoicism, and Eudaemonia come to mind.
you are right, you need to be on mobile
Is this position a direct hire with the SEC or working through a contract company?
I'm not sure if it was ever verified, but reminds me of this story from 2005 - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/148...
A note on terminology: "euthanasia" is something you do to somebody/something. Euthanize is a transitive verb. You euthanize a pet.

I firmly believe in the right of anybody, for any reason, to self-terminate. But that's not euthanasia. When we start getting society involved in the business of terminating people who request it? It's another level of moral and utilitarian complexity.

I think a lot of folks are mixing it all together and demanding that my right to self-terminate should force the doctor down the street to help out. These two things do not have to be related. People have been offing themselves for eons. They will continue doing so without the medical establishment.

I don't have any easy answers for what society should do for the mentally ill. It seems obvious to me, however, that we should certainly be able to provide food, housing, and medical treatment to them before we'd consider setting up a system to euthanize them.
Steam handles that problem by showing two scores for the item (games in their case): the total score, and the "past 30days" score. This way you can see if something is going wrong recently.

Interesting. Till now I only used redux to store server-side info. Client-side stuff always went into the component state.
Retailers are shady despite people most of the time.
I love that mechanic. I think it's a lot more in the forefront with things like software that gets auto-updated, where the publisher pushes an unfortunate patch, or fails to follow through on a promise which was previously given the benefit of the doubt. I don't think physical products have yet caught up to the idea that this notion is relevant to them as well.

The especially difficult part when it comes to reviews for physical products in that it just isn't sexy to benchmark an old piece of hardware. What makes the situation even worse is that most reviews aren't centralized (that is, you google "productname reviews") and so to a large extent the visibility goes to whoever publishes first. Your brand new benchmark announcement gets clobbered by the pagerank of the reviews that happened right when everyone was interested in the product.

That's what good journalism looks like, especially when it covers complex topics
Just a couple days I got into a conversation with my coworker about UI stuff. I had to test something against our dev UI. Last time I did UI work was back when having index.html, img/, css/ and js/ directories with maybe a script or two was the norm. I had to fucking run make and I still have no fucking idea what was going on when I ran make which compiled a bunch of shit. There was all this NPM shit going on (isn't NPM part of Node.js which is a server-side framework? WTF?). I got it working and promptly noped the fuck out that horror show.

The web is a giant fucking pile of dog shit in 2016.
Shocked it preformed sp well in the Amazon Silk browser, its Normally pretty lame,but got by come with this. Even if typing this is a pain...
It's a poor argument and they are misleading their customers. You don't buy on the specification you buy on the reputation. If $creditable_reviewer says it's one of the best drives they've ever used, you are going to go for it.

When you buy the exact same product and end up with something that has substantially lower quality parts than what the reviewer had, you've been defrauded.

Edit: it hurts the reviewer too, as I now have reasonable evidence that $review_body is unreliable. If the fraud never comes to light, I may stop using they publisher's reviews.
To add to your point, I feel that React/Redux is easier to debug. Redux has the developer tools, which allow you to rewind state as well as hot module reloading, which means you can rewind state, and then replay it with your code changes. This means you don't need to log back in to your app, navigate to where you were previously at, and then recreate whatever extra state each time you try a fix.

The functional approach via Redux is what a lot of people look at, but I prefer to look at the developer tools and the state of debugging.

JSX is easier for me to debug since you can just drop breakpoints in your javascript and step through with the debugger. This encourages more vanilla javascript usage, which is easier to debug and reason about.
Why not cut out the pretense and just farm poor people?
I used to unequivocally support the right to euthanasia, but as I learned more about it, I realized it was a complex issue, without simple black and white answers.

One of the stories that made me reconsider my position was about a young man who was severely burned in an accident which also killed his father. He spent a long time in the burn ward, and was completely disfigured and disabled. He was in constant agony and felt he had nothing to live for.

He made a video about himself called "Let Me Die", and submitted it to his state's legislature, begging them to allow him to legally end his own life. His appeal was denied, his injuries eventually healed (to the extent that he was no longer in the burn ward, not completely), he was glad that he lived, and went on to a career of educating others about these issues.

Another story that affected me was about some island where the population discovered a readily available fruit that grew on trees on the island was deadly. So they had a rash of suicides, with teenagers killing themselves because they were told by their parents to clean their rooms or some such.

I may be confusing bits of that last story with some others that I've read. But I have read multiple stories of teenagers killing themselves over things that most mature adults consider trivial and blown out of proportion by teenage angst that the kids would most likely would have been able to put behind them as they got older, if only they hadn't killed themselves.

There are legitimate concerns about autonomy, self-determination, and paternalism. I'm the first to admit those are serious concerns, and in some extreme cases the decision to allow or even help someone take their own life is clearly ethical. But there are also a lot of cases where the ethics of the situation are not so clear-cut, and I find it disturbing that some people are so dogmatic about their position that they can't see any dillema, are unwilling to seek other ways of helping or alleviating these people's suffering, and seem to view suicide as the default answer to difficult situations.

I'm also disturbed to hear that Etienne Vermeersch, a philosopher of ethics and "the most influential intellectual in Flanders", can confidently proclaim that Belgium "stands, ethically, at the top of the world." This smacks of hubris, and is unworthy of a man or nation so distinguished.
If I had to give a one sentence summary of this release, it would contain "security" and "closure size".

Thanks to the core devs who made this possible.
I think it's not so much as the vendors of the graphics card and such that only released closed blobs to go with the open drivers in the kernel. And while they may work with say, ChromeOS, getting them to work on Linux isn't as straightforward. Android has a similar issue, though most of the time people aren't jumping from Android to another OS..
They also need to require manufacturers to publish a changelog for the product so we can tell if a product has changed materially since the positive reviews were first published. It's pretty much a strategy now to create a well made product, get good reviews and then cheapen the product.
Well, yeah. Since then the author has kind of Tom Clancy'd the joint up with a whole lotta more titles.

This makes Firebase look wildly popular. But can you even use Firebase for an app where you don't trust every user to maintain your denormalized indexes properly?

True, but they don't have to find the optimal solution, or even anything close to it. They just have to find a solution that's slightly better than the next-best solution, which in most cases is very far from optimal.
My experience is that Walmart's website is truly abysmally poor. Releasing their software is likely a scourge upon other commercial vendors who might inadvertently try to imitate them.
> I suppose you have a class of data that is not trivial enough to store in a single component's state, but also not worth sending to the server.

Exactly. For example, one application I'm working on has a complicated multi-page form/wizard. Redux is great for keeping this manageable and in fact takes care of all the management for this without me also having to write code for managing it on the backend at all.
oh so there actually isn't a way to start the services in some sort of timed order? I've always wondered about that and I just have my services restart if they can't connect
Yeah, it's mobile only to interact, all gesture based (of course it could be done without that, but it somewhat looses it's charm, it's only a small demo, so it's mostly about that little moment).
Maybe they meant the major version number of the kernel wouldn't get an upgrade, though I suspect maybe performance/memory limitations are the real issue. It may be possible to backport whatever features are missing to an older machine's kernel and see...

The Painstaking Process of Building a Porsche Panamera
If you're interested, I am in the process of writing a react ebook, and I'm trying to focus on being very simple and explaining every step along the way. In fact, the whole first half of the book doesn't use a server at all (it uses script tags like https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html).

If you (or anyone else) is interested, I'd be happy to give you the chapters as I finish them, and would love to hear any feedback you have about it. Just send me an email (in my profile).
Right on. Exactly how I feel as well. A few years back Backbone was all in the rage, and then Angular, then React, but the pieces were all moving too fast. Building a site is hard enough. My decision? stick to what works best now (to best of my knowledge for maintenance) and focus on the most important thing: revenue. I hate to be the first jumper.
A lot of folks have debated whether there is a need or a place for a "Rails for Node" platform that brings together a set of blessed libraries that work well together and a set of tools for rapidly building software with that set of tools. In that sense at least, Electrode seems to have some structural similarities to Rails.

Do you see Electron as potentially having a Rails-like role of bringing together libraries and packages into a more "plug and play" development environment for people who want buy in to comprehensive Node development platform?
One of my favourite tech jokes used to be "Google? I could build that out of wget, grep and baling wire!". The fact that "I could build that out of Lucene and money!" is not intended as a joke gives me pause.

18-year-olds are also inexperienced in the travails of supporting yourself in life, and as a result of this, are much easier to sway with ideals rather than pragmatics.
You mean Redux, right?
I was once contacted by a recruited that declined after I didn't have experience with django(the framework, I do have with python language). Is that true, that you need experience with it ?(backend)
Loved this video!
Do you guys know something loke Apollo but on top of RxJS?

I'm not a big fan of Redux anymore since I discovered observable streams.
I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies. Hunter and Schmidt did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1]
There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields.

- General mental ability (Are they generally smart)
Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use them as proxies.
Using IQ is mostly illegal[2] in the US, so you'll have to find a test that acts as a good proxy.

- Work sample test. NOT HAZING! As close as possible to the actual work they'd be doing. Try to make it apples-to-apples comparison across candidates. Also, try and make accomidations for candidates not knowing your company shibboleth.

- Integrity. The first two won't matter if you hire a sociopath.

There are existing tests available for this, you can purchase for < $50 per use.

This alone will get you > 65% hit rate [1], and can be done inside of three hours. There's no need for day long (or multi-day) gladiator style gauntlets.

[1] http://mavweb.mnsu.edu/howard/Schmidt%20and%20Hunter%201998%...

[2] The illegality comes from IQ tests disadvantaging certain minority groups.

[3] Yes, I'm currently taking freelance work.
I also found that JQuery statement strange. I'm not sure why you would use JQuery instead of Angular for thousands of rows as the author specified. Angular should update the DOM more efficiently than JQuery and the event handling should be far more clear. I believe the author stated that he ended up using direct DOM manipulation, but it seems like his example defeats the entire purpose of using a front end framework.
