I am a visual effects animator at one of the major VFX studios, and did not go to art school so I am one of these self-taught graphic artists. And I totally agree with what you're saying here. I don't consider what I do to be art. It is highly-skilled craft with a lot of specialized technique. But I am not personally creating meaning in any way. The filmmakers and directors who bring us projects might be artists, but I am just a cog in a large machine which produces their vision.
I also work with many people who did go to art school and I can say that in general they have a better understanding of fundamentals like color theory and composition than those who did not. Also often a better approach to tackling creative problems. I frequently find myself wishing I'd hard those years of formal instruction.. It would make some things a lot easier.

Well the US federal gov't already has the bigger guns, the bigger iron to crack your crypto and more prepared and motivated people to do it on their payroll. Not to mention airplane carriers and nuclear subs armed with nukes. Just because everyone and their dog owns a gun, police can shoot you for "resisting arrest" especially if you are armed. The Swiss also own guns, but they have none of this madness. As a sidenote, your vote does count as a Swiss citizen in Switzerland and you never have the feeling that "the system is rigged". They do have madness of their own, yet it still looks more sane.

The reporting on Seattle's minimum wage hike aligns suspiciously well with news outlets' ideological biases, almost to the point that the articles could have been written before the wage hike even happened.

Which suggests that maybe the data are inconclusive or muddled and so everyone is finding what they expected to find. It's a complicated situation, with many factors that aren't touched on in this article:

1. Seattle had relatively few minimum wage workers to begin with. The raise doesn't directly affect most of Seattle's workforce.

2. Seattle's booming economic numbers probably overlook the fact that the working poor and chronically unemployed can't afford to live within city limits. It's expensive here.

3. The tech boom continues to flood the market with high-paid jobs, and prices for everything are steadily raising across the board. This could be masking effects, positive or negative, of the minimum wage hike.

4. Meanwhile, there is a massive increase in homelessness and homeless tent encampments. A lot of people are being left behind by the boom.
I think the poster you're replying to is mis-remembering. I'm not sure. IIRC, there was an article alleging that a passenger managed to force a slight turn of an aircraft, but subsequent investigation turned up evidence suggesting it didn't actually happen. Or at least I don't think there was any evidence the engines were under the hacker's control for any length of time.

I am typing on one of those right now. I love mine, it is just like the model m, but it has a windows key and USB.
I also think the Activity handling of configuration changes was a mistake; it should have only ever just been the view that was recreated.

However, I don't think that in the end it's that horrible, once you overcome the learning curve.

If your process is killed and the user returns to the app, you have to be able to restore state from either the Activity's saved instance state or from some other form of persisted state anyway - whether the current approach to configuration changes was in use or not makes no difference here, it's due to the entire approach of the OS to killing and restoring processes as required (and I believe this same approach is used on iOS and for UWP Windows applications).

For handling of async results - once the owner of an async operation is not tied to a single instance of a view and is instead tied to the overall lifetime of that part of the application (e.g. retained Fragment, a Conductor controller, or pretty much any other reasonably modern view composition library), it's pretty trivial to handle. You're guaranteed that nothing else will run on the main thread for the duration of an Activity destroy/recreate cycle, so you don't need to worry about being in some unknown state. If the view was recreated due to a configuration change, rebind your view model/s when it attaches. If you're being torn down because the user left the retained Fragment/Controller/whatever the operation was tied to, you'll receive an indication of that and you can either send a cancellation signal (e.g. unsubscribe), or if that's not possible, have an isDestroyed check where you receive your result to ignore it. If you're on the back stack and still alive but have no view (i.e. view NPE), don't bind your model immediately - update your view model, and the same code you use to rebind on view reattach will kick in when the user returns and a new view is created and attached.
A wrong analogy is still a wrong analogy.
This whole complicated stack of parts is why I don't really like React, you're never 100% sure if what you're doing is best practice. I find Ember to be much better, you only need to install Ember CLI and everything is put together for you.

I get the feeling that React with the Redux/Flux architecture scales to Facebook-level complexity a bit better than Vue. Vue feels kinda like if you made plain React with setState a lot easier to use.

The complete separation of presentation and state with flux is a lot of work but starts to pay off when your data is used in many places and you can just connect any piece to the same global state and keep consistency. Or when you can make writing API interactions really easy with one middleware and from there your requests are done declaratively with actions.

I wonder what it's like to use Vue with Redux! Probably a bit weird given the two-way binding, where Redux is all about one-way binding and cycling every change through a global state transition. At first glance (revue, vue-redux) this seems awkward.

How does your team accomplish the stuff you would otherwise do with Redux? How do you do AJAX and how do you propagate that around? I suppose it's just like regular MVVM, all pretty isolated.
Ask HN: Why is the JavaScript ecosystem heavily library based?
For instance, there is a highly upvoted post debating whether to learn VueJS or JQuery. And in general, in my experience, there is a huge dependence on JavaScript libraries for even the simplest of tasks. People almost view JQuery as a language different from JavaScript.

I have never seen this kind of an environment in other languages like Python.

Can someone give insight into why this is unique to JavaScript?

I think the US culture of exceptionalism puts individuals in 2 simple buckets, winners and losers. I think everyone wants to be a winner and then not improve the overall system but to look down on the 'losers' and signal 'success' status.

The idea that they won't be able to validate themselves and their 'specialness' in this way makes them subservient to the status-quo, vulnerable to hubris and immune to the problems of inequality. Do we have a social identity because we seem to predominatly seek validation and identity from our work.

This in group out group is an integral part of US culture and this base survival of the fittest 'superman' ideology is inherent in a frontier type economy exploiting new resources.

The system is fine tuned to exploitation but what happens when there are no resources to exploit. The US problem goes way beyond mere capitalism and communism. At some point you would need to build a society that values people independently of their work, success or money or you run the risk of creating a modern exploitative unfeeling dystopia.

A lot of these discussions especially here are marked by a distinct lack of emphathy, dehumanization and blame the victims mentality that a quick reading of the evolution of political, social and economic systems from feudalism till now will quickly dispel. Power concentrates itself.

I think this is a parody to Twitter storytelling. The title is the end of it. Even after opening the log, it's difficult to follow and parts of it remain hidden under "show more" buttons.
Why? I don't know... maybe it has to do with not wanting to buy a shit laptop at bestbuy/costco and calling it a day. Anyone can do that, and a lot of my friends ask a very specific question: "Dude, I want a good laptop that will last a few years without breaking like the POS stuff I usually buy for $500 at Costco... what do you recommend?" I would say, head to our local Apple store. I am no longer going to say that.
Not all mechanical keyboards are loud. Some people like an audible click with each key, and so will buy a keyboard with a switch like the Cherry MX Blue[1]. Some don't, or work around other people and are considerate, and choose a Cherry Red or Brown, or equivalent from other manufacturers. (Red has a very linear feel, while brown has a sort of a 'bump' when it activates, similar to the ones that click, but not as extreme and without the noise.) These don't make much sound at all, unless you hit the key hard enough that the actual plastic key cap bottoms out. That can easily be solved though, either by typing more gently and not bottoming out (which will allow you to type faster and with less stress on your fingers) or by putting O-Ring dampeners around the keys[2].

Whenever I get to a new city, the first thing I do is randomly wander around without a map for hours, and just go where ever I'm drawn to.

I've discovered so many interesting things, places and even people this way.

The biggest problem is finding friends who go along with this. I often had to ditch them and do my own thing on the first day.
I'm not a Thunderbolt expert, but I think the reason is twofold.

Thunderbolt was originally designed as an optical link and optical connectors are highly problematic. Misalign the fiber just a tiny bit and you have considerable losses. So they went with a hybrid design where the converter is in the plugs and the connector is electrical. Later it was changed to all electrical but the design where the connection between the two plugs and the plugs and the devices are two separate things was retained.

The second reason is that this design still makes sense.
With traditional designs the driver in the end device is always a compromise. For example the Ethernet driver has to be able to drive lines up to 100m long, but how many Ethernet lines are really that long?
For Thunderbolt they dis-coupled the physical characteristics of the line driver from the driver in the end device. They basically move all the problems of the physical connection (line length, EMV and so on) form the end device to the cable.
$245,816 for a degree is damn cruel. tuition costs are probably one of the top causes of stagnation - i'm sure most people do learn something worth while... but damn!
Thing is, it's not "just" the connection. They are losing hearts and minds for many reasons... it is not easy to replace that.
So my understanding is that the DMCA introduced safe harbor, which lets platforms like Youtube exist.

You can now run a social network and not get sued into oblivion for users putting up copywrighted content, so long as you're not too complicit in the behaviour. Safe harbor is a win for the internet in my book.

Without safe harbor, Google would be liable for re-distributing movies that people keep on uploading to the site. Takedown requests get a bad rap, but it's not the worst possible scenario IMO.

> Is it abuse if the AI doesn't feel agony?

AI might be able to feel a kind of pain. If you think about the Reinforcement Learning framework, the reward signal drives learning. But negative rewards, or the impossibility to gain positive rewards could be agony for a system for which the sole purpose of existence is maximizing cumulative reward.

There was even a paper about the morality of training RL systems and estimating the amount of suffering we subject them to.

Is this (https://mistry.io/) you?
It doesn't really make sense to take "percentage increase" as dimensionless, because it leads you to compare growth rate of incomparable things. One of the most basic rules of economics is that you can't compare stocks and flows. Why would it be meaningful to compare their % increase per year?

Let's say that for construction company A, the total number of houses it has built increases by 10%. (This is comparable to an r of 10%). And let's say that, each year, construction company B builds 5% more new houses than it built the year before. (This is comparable to a g of 5%). No matter how much of a head start A starts with, under these assumptions, B will always eventually have more total houses built.

Or to put it more generally, a stock growing at fixed rate grows linearly, but a flow that grows linearly implies a stock growing at a quadratic rate. O(N^2) will always outpace O(N).

It seems to me that all the hoopla about r > g is based on an elementary mathematical error.

Or really, more honestly, assumptions about savings rate are doing all the work, and r and g really have almost nothing to do with it.

This reminds me of a recent article by the author of Redux, who wrote ["You might not need Redux"](https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be4...). It was refreshing how he emphasized that Redux is just an implementation of a design pattern (or a composition of a few), that it's not necessarily "the solution". If another state management library works better for some applications, then use that instead.

"Overhyped" implies that its popularity is not worth its value. It's clear that it has proven its value to a majority of developers working with React. Especially as applications grow larger, I've found that using Redux provides an intuitive pattern for sane state management.

It does have its pain points (verbosity, async actions) but there's a plethora of libraries one could choose from, depending on need and preference. Since the core functions are so simple, they can be adapted as needed - for example, in a recent project I wrote a wrapper (~20 lines) to extend actions and reducers with namespaces.

An additional advantage of Redux, I think, is that it's becoming widely adopted, so when I look at an open-source codebase built on React + Redux, it's so easy to understand the application architecture.
I suppose the trickiest part is defining what we means by discrimination. My understanding is that in-group out-group dynamics are extremely prevalent in almost all cultures and societies in human history. I haven't done extensive research on this, but it seems like most "discrimination" is an extension of those dynamics. Of course, broad cultural trends can radically alter the dynamics, but I wonder if our tendency to construct them in the first place is somewhat innate.
