> Supermarket fridge/freezers are opened too often for them to care.

While that's true, most merchandiser refrigerators (as they are known - also "display coolers" is a term) use dual-pane glass on the doors (and I wouldn't be surprised to find triple-pane either).

I've been looking into one of these for a while now; my wife and I want to get one to replace our current side-by-side, because we hardly ever use the freezer side, and we already have a chest freezer in our garage anyhow. The problem hasn't been the cost (commercial fridges aren't really much more expensive than consumer units), but the size - they are too tall for the area we have (without mods to our cabinets). Of course, we have found that new consumer fridges have the same problem!

Our house was built in the early-1970s (block construction, copper wiring and water pipes, and no HOA - so if I want to weld in the front yard on my vehicle while it's on jack-stands overnight - NFG), and so it has the old-style "crappy cabinet over the fridge" area - so we are limited by that, unless we take it out - which may end up being the solution.

The only other downside to a commercial unit is the fact that the warranty is instantly voided if you buy one and install it for home use. Furthermore, service is more expensive (part, labor, and the whole nine yards). Still, it should be more reliable in the long run, which is what we want. We did the same thing recently with our microwave, purchasing a standard Sharp branded commercial unit that nearly every restaurant and food service place uses; they are super-tough, and much better quality than a consumer unit. Easy to wipe out, and only one control (100% power, one knob for up to 6 minutes). We haven't had a problem adapting to it - it's so much nicer, and stainless steel!
I've been on 1Password for about 3 years, using their cloud hosting for 6 months. Nothing but good things to say about them really... the cloud version removed a layer of occasional annoyance with syncing, the iPhone app with fingerprint access is excellent. The price is fairly high, but I really value a security product that's well thought out and easy to use.

Christian socialist is definitely not an oxymoron. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_democratic_p... :
"Christian democracy often advocates centre-right positions on cultural, social, and moral issues and Social market economic policies" and further, "whereas in the very different cultural and political environment of Latin America they tend to lean to the left".

Utopian socialism is an actual thing : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utopian_socialism , related to socialist utopia, in a way that is characterised as "possible ways society can turn out to be in the future".

> Anyway, besides the recruiter app, is LinkedIn really worthy of a SPA experience?

In some cases it makes sense, but very few websites really need to be SPAs yet everyone these days is using React, Angular, Ember, etc.

Facebook created React to not depend on other frameworks. They also added HTML and CSS into JS because their application is huge and complex. At their size it makes sense to have all the bits needed to work on something in the same place. Redux, same thing. It's a solution that is intended to solve problems at the 1B users scale.

The truth is 99.99% of web applications won't come close to that level of complexity, but devs insist in using solutions React and Redux because... hype? It's like driving with a school bus to carry 1 person. Dan Abramov has said himself that it doesn't make sense to use Redux until you need it.

Same thing with all those JS UI benchmarks. There must be a use case for rendering and doing data binding in 10000 UI elements at 60 fps, but those are very rare edge cases.

I'm guilty of this myself. I've spent 2016 working with React on a few SPAs and I have to admit I only got in it or the hype. Everyone was doing it which must mean it's the best way to go, right? Wrong.

I'm moving away from SPAs in 2017. Going back the classic route of generating dynamic HTML in the server and sprinkle pages with JS "widgets" whenever I REALLY need those UI enhancements.

If I need an SPA for a particular use case, sure I'll do it, but not as a default option.

Edit: In mobile SPAs makes even less sense. Sure you may be reducing requests, eventually, but the CPU usage is bigger and the initial load is also bigger. And sure, you can really optimise an SPA but this adds complexity on top of complexity.

> Solaris cryptographic framework team" believes something to be true is inadequate evidence for me.

I don't follow - why would you believe that something is secure despite the developers of it saying it is not? If you trust that they are competent, wouldn't you trust a competent cryptographer who says that their code is insecure? And if you don't trust that they are competent enough to make that evaluation, why would the assumption be that they are still somehow able to write secure code, even if they can't correctly identify it as such?

Consulting a chess engine (unbeatable AI) on your phone when playing chess with someone isn't cheating?

Also, moving pieces in a boardgame when your opponent isn't looking probably isn't cheating either?

Digital is more narrow and compact and allows more efficient use of the spectrum in general. More transmissions, different uses, sharing, freeing space up for other allocations, etc. All of that is resource/demand driven. More people is more demand.

> does anyone have experience moving from full time (.NET) development to freelance React / JavaScript development and is willing to offer advice?

To me that looks like 3 different things - going from .NET to web dev, going from full time to contracting, and learning React. I wasn't .NET exactly, but went from Windows C++ game console dev to web dev, and I'm currently doing React contracting.

I love web dev, and I don't want to go back to C++. That said, contracting takes a lot of learning and is hard to get used to. Many consider not switching everything at once, but focusing on learning on big thing at a time. React is great to learn, but it's early and time will tell if it sticks. There's a ton to learn about web development that is independent of React.

Ask HN: What did you do after quitting the IT industry and how have things been?
There's currently a thread going on where people are discussing what they would do if they quit their IT career. I have been in software industry for more than a decade now and since some years now have been thinking of what I would like to do when I quit the industry and how soon I can quit. I no longer have the immense passion I used to have some years back when it comes to software problem solving.

It's been a while since I have been thinking about it but haven't yet been brave enough to quit the industry (mostly financial reasons).

My question to others here is, have anyone of you quit the IT industry to do something that interested you (not necessary a job) and how have things been for you after quitting the industry?
DAB sound quality can be as good as you like, but as implemented, it's generally very low. (Stations use low bit-rates to reduce costs.) On average, in fact, DAB sound quality is much lower than FM, assuming you're in a good signal area and/or have a decent FM aerial.

You also need a lot more expensive masts to provide DAB coverage. In many places where you get poor FM reception, you get "bubbling mud" or no DAB reception at all.
Because in a lot of ways those practices don't further the end goal or bottom line of the business. They don't meet business needs. As a developer, I think we both can agree that these things make our (developer) lives easier, but they often don't help the bottom line of the company. I know some dev will retort this, but if I was wrong then companies would be mandating these practices top down.
I upvoted this for its sincerity, but I'm having a hard time thinking of...anything, really...that doesn't reward process or technique; by disposition, I also really embrace process as a psychological circumstance that almost inherently creates meaning. What are you thinking of that comes from the heart but doesn't get processed? Process for me implies art, craft, care, learning, documenting, participating, communicating.

I've played around with the Edison. It's nice to have wifi and bluetooth if you can get it working, but the platform doesn't seem to be very well supported by Intel. Despite being around for a couple of years, I had a lot of trouble finding needed modules that would work on it. It seems like if Intel were serious about it, they'd have software developers building the linux packages and maintaining a stocked repository.

Also, on the forums you'd see old and nagging bugs with basic operations like getting the networking up and running without having problems because by default usb0 owned the default route.

You'd think that Intel would have addressed these things. Eventually, I decided to not trust Intel. I was worried that they would stop supporting the platform and leave me hanging, having spent thousands of hours building a solution around it.

Now we can see that they're off on a new platform. I won't be spending any time with it.

Probably, but consider how much bare iron Google has lying around, much of it likely with few cores-per-CPU. Using it efficiently and not accelerating it's obsolescence is probably a priority for them.

BTW, does anyone have data that would suggest how long it does take an org at the scale of an Amazon, Google, or Facebook to entirely replace their HW? I assume that it isn't only through attrition, and that Google for example currently has no servers running that date back to Y2k, but I have no idea what the "half-life" of a server is at their scale.

This could really the death blow for the Diesel engine in cars. Over a decade people have promoted the Diesel as a cleaner, more efficient fuel for cars and car makers spent billions to improve the engines and apparently even more in marketing.

Now, the bubble collapsed.

Also, Germany currently gives Diesel owners a rebate on the fuel tax. That is why a liter of Diesel is around €1.10 and a liter of gas is around €1.30. I wouldn't be surprised if this rebate will be gone soon. (But I wouldn't take bets on when)

Based on several past incidents I would say we had a 50/50 shot of a nuclear holocaust over the last 70 years. That's around 1% per year. However, most of the incidents seem to be fairly old so we can probably drop that to 0.1% per year unless you live in India or Pakistan.

EX: "Solar Sunrise" is not that old and the US was seriously considering using nukes as NORAD was having major issues. IMO, large scale nuclear war was still unlikely, but the odds where probably well over 1% that year.

PS: Remember, WWI started from a chain of events that also seemed unlikely. But, a lot of stuff happens in any given year making such chains more common than you would think.
