I can (easily) afford SF. I can also afford to own a car in SF. I prefer not to because it is expensive and I prefer to spend my money on other things.

Also, contrary to your assumptions, I find my "quality of life" has dramatically increased since getting rid of a car due to not needing to stress out in traffic (and dodging cyclists); not doing any car maintenance ever; never needing to look for parking and the unknown time duration that could require.
That seems more team-space than open office (lots of people see that as a sort of a "happy medium" between real open office and everyone-has-a-private-office that allows team to collaborate more effectively than the latter but provides less extraneous distraction than the latter; not sure I share this assessment, but I definitely see it as a distinct thing from either alternative.)
Yup. Your last point on inflation could dovetail with the increased employment "crazy thesis" I suggested. A bull labor market would flood a lot of the QE cash on the sidelines into the economy. Another factor would be the emergence of an "organized labor 2.0" that uses the Internet to coordinate... like think Uber meets AFL-CIO and powered by game theory and deep learning. Bull labor markets are highly inflationary.

The conventional wisdom is that UX is everything. But a new generation or two is growing up today that is "digital native" and has grown up using computers of every kind. Might this generation of digital natives actually have less need for super-polished UI/UX hand-holding and inversely a greater desire for the increased freedom and versatility that comes with a more heterogenous open environment?

Anyway this is all a tangent with nothing to do with the original post. :)

Software written well can work that way on Android, but not on iOS which force-suspends your process and sockets all the time. The only exceptions are granted unilaterally by Apple and the chance of them allowing server-like behavior on iPhones is infinitesimally small.

That's why it's important to hold on to people owning general-purpose computers, open standards and community governance: because once you move away to centrally-controlled appliances, there won't be a platform from which to bootstrap the next, better system.
Unfortunately, that's what academic credentials are for.

And, not every company will value your credentials anyway (if you're an MIT or Stanford graduate, sure).

Just as many non-self hosted Wordpress installs go down. It's Wordpress that's extremely slow.

Edit: Besides, the article mentions "the VPS is one thing and is really used for critical services or stuff that needs to be accessible to the wider Internet (like this site), but the real magic happens on my home servers". That isn't the self-hosted part anyway. /end of edit.

> I'd never advise people to do it unless they absolutely have to.

I'd compare it to work. When doing a project for a client, all else being equal, you'd rather have them pay a bit more so you have more time to develop a great product. Rush jobs are never fun and you usually have to cut corners. If you can make your code nice, it can be made flexible and neatly extendable.

Same for hosting: yeah it takes a little more time than getting shared hosting, but it gives you so much freedom to install and configure your own software. Save for perhaps mail servers, it's pretty much always worth it in the long run if you can afford it in the short run.
Awesome that these implementation notes are so simple and laid out over just a few pages. Speaks to the conceptually simple underlying model of React I think. Nice job.

> You would really have to go out of your way to make that happen, though. React has a feature for batching state updates together to prevent unnecessary rerenders if all of the updates occur together.

These batched state updates only happen "within React's walls", right?

So for example, say you had an RxJs observable that omitted a list of items to display. When you first subscribe, it emits say, ten items, one by one, but all in the same browser tick. It may emit items later in the future as well.

In this case, each of the initial emitted items triggers a full rerender and you get the O(N^2) behavior, correct? My point here isn't that this is the end of the world, but just that it isn't that crazy to say that it might happen.

Your attitude includes an implicit "trust the smart people."

But the smart people are proving again and again that they are not worthy of our trust. They find bigger and better and stealthier ways to learn about us so they can influence and move against us in the future. Why should we trust anyone who sees us as a product?

I'm currently switching from gvim to vscode and back again every five minutes, in order to use vscode's debugger --- it's gdb integration is the best I've seen bar none [1][2]. If the vim emulation was good enough, I'd switch in a moment. Which, unfortunately, it's not, for me: the biggest omission is shift-Y/shift-P for yank and paste, which I use constantly, but there's holes everywhere.

(Also, the way the vscode's autopopup thingy grabs the escape key is really annoying, but I'm sure that's configurable.)

Two minor nitpicks:

[1] I haven't figured out how to make the debugger show a pointer as an array yet.

[2] I used to use ddd. By modern standards it's pretty rough, but it's data visualiser was unparalleled brilliance. (It allowed you to lay out structures on a canvas as boxes with arrows representing pointers.) I'd love to see that in vscode.

Yes, you're generally correct. If you can call into ReactDOM.unstable_batchedUpdates at the top of the stack, that's another approach. We might be able to make that the default in the future so synchronous calls are always grouped even if React isn't on the stack.

We generally see the most success when you update your data wholesale with the latest copy from your stores, but your RxJS example is a good one.

I totally agree with your assessment of the wording. Money, to me at least, never equates to closed or open source. Fortunately, at least with stack overflow jobs, you can kind of self-assess this if they list tools like JIRA or Trello. You can also ask questions to see if they're actively using what they claim. If they aren't singing the praises of their toolsets and checked that answer off, you can generally assume they're lying.

If the test was updated for the web and native in a single set of data points, some companies would incorrectly score low because they focus on one or the other. I think it could use some kind of polish after 16 years but only to remove very narrow interpretations that derail discussions like this.

The benefit Facebook has is hundreds if not thousands of hours of familiarity with their overall interfaces (per user). When I viewed their demo videos, it all looked extremely familiar to me, having used Facebook since about 2006. Whether or not this is the case, it made the design feel good and pleasing.

When I look at Yammer or other services that are totally fresh, I am not at all familiar. I'm totally willing to learn new interfaces and get familiar, but there are a lot of people that would prefer to stick with what they are familiar with.

Sounds like "now you have two problems"? There is plenty of blog software out there but very few are so terribly, terribly slow as Wordpress. I'm pretty sure it's the slowest thing I've ever installed on my server (and uninstalled, obviously). Just use something else and there is no need for caching in the first place.
Autonomous cars will still need to pull over to let off passengers, where they could come into conflict with bike lanes (taxis already dangerously pull into bike lanes to drop off passengers). There is still a need for explicitly separated bike lanes and parking spots for cars.

SaaS isn't IaaS, and administrative incompetence happens on both IaaS and self-hosted.
I would say minimizing the current context a person has to deal with. The most common places I see non-technical users fail is in multitasking multiple windows or browser tabs/windows. They get hidden, minimized, and we all know how on OSX the menu bar can be controls the last focused application, not necessarily the one that has the user's attention/is taking the majority of the screen. Lastly, sharing information between these applications.

With mobile, only 1 app is active at a time, and sharing information between apps is either seamless, or only requires a similar action on every app, the share icon, which presents a list of apps that the current app suggests sharing the data with.
