> This is awesome. They need to make source map generation for react native more automatic though.

Yes, we are working hard on making it more automatic. The xcode integration is the one we focused on initially because anecdotical experience shows that this is what people like to use when given a choice.

Sadly react-native's tooling is not particularly uniform so far so each of the many modes (iOS simulator, iOS debug on device, iOS to production via Xcode, iOS to production via manual packager, expo, Android Studio, manual android builds etc.) are all not going through one common system.

To make the xcode builds in particular we are actually doing quite an elaborate hack. https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-cli/blob/master/src/comm...
It would be interesting to see what happens if each language is compiled to the benchmark server, linked to the same BLAS and an expert implementation of the tests in each language was allowed; a scientifically valuable experiment. Just to remove all doubt about the relativities of performance :-)

Wonderful.

Tbh, debauchery and sex are what frats are about. It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that's been to a large college. Even at the least, you should have a basic understanding that frats are not representative of normal society.

Part of the problem is that "the internet" has not provided a technical solution yet to the claimed problem (the laziness and shiftiness of ISPs not upgrading simple crossconnects is bs though).

If someone wants to stream netflix, youtube or grab something from a torrent why not have a content agnostic(safe harbor) block cache distributed around the internet?

This is most concretely expressed by ipfs https://ipfs.io/ but it's an old idea -

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_centric_networking

Bittorrent itself is a limited form of it. On some level AMP from google and CDNs are trying to make up for its lack.

As long as the ISP doesn't actively force this on their users but instead its something companys and people actually want I think its a net good to make this a thing.

We should mature and adopt IPFS AND fight the net neutrality battle.
Telecom companies, in general, have no scruples about charging you for what other people send you unsolicited. Up until they got the memo that SMS was on its way out, they used to charge downright extortionate rates for text messages. Same for minutes.

What we learned from getting acquired by Meteor
Can you give some examples of those "statements on women that interpreted naïvely clearly contradict other statements on mothers?"

I've read bits and pieces of Analects, thought it was ok, but felt that is was very much reflective of the perspectives of the time. Most of it felt like stuff that was obvious and other stuff felt not applicable to the world today. IIRC there was some stuff about traveling abroad / being a good guest in a foreign country, and I did think that part was useful.

I don't really recall reading stuff about women though. I wouldn't expect an enlightened perspective from a man in that time period though, no matter how kind the interpretation. It wouldn't invalidate the whole work, it would just show that the author was wrong about at least one thing, which is not an issue (unless we're talking about holy books where it's not acceptable to acknowledge mistakes).

There are grades of fluency. I learnt Italian in Italy (while working there with English colleagues so speaking English at work during the week), in 9 months to a level I could hold a good conversation one-to-one. I had studied Latin, French and German at school and enjoyed them - the French was a fair help with Italian (Latin too though that was not exactly active).

I realised that in a group situation, with multiple conversations going on at once, it took me another 9 months to be comfortable. If you can't keep up you lose track very quickly. In your mother tongue it is "effortless". One-to-one you can ask if you don't understand - in a group you can't

I was in my early 20s at the time and made a big effort to socialise with the locals. That include many a boring evening when unless someone spoke to me specifically, I sat and smiled and had little clue what the group was talking about. But gradually things seeped in.

I remember my German teacher at school recounting how she learnt it from scratch at university - they were started off by having to learn lots of texts by rote. Seemed a bit retrograde but it worked and they learned rapidly.

I am happy you can use free WiFi. I think that if you want to watch YouTube and google is willing to pay for your data, that's OK and no one will be hurt.
Lets be honest here. Wikipedia isn't going to be funding the expansion of internet networks on the basis that it can fund priority zero rating. It will be American or Chinese consumer facing companies with massive bankrolls and business models built on addictive consumer engagement. Think Amazon fighting Aliexpress for priority access to the Iraq marketplace on the basis of network access, rather than efficiency in product logistics.

The idea that NN vs. non-NN network proliferation is an intrinsically paternalistic battle is flipped on its head when cast in real terms.

>What it comes down to is no action is being taken against a minority.

In your earlier comment, you phrased it as "Denying billions". Either it is an action, or it is not. You cannot make it an action for only one group.

>The existence of videos not optimal for the deaf (because they can certainly watch them and benefit from google's increasingly effective auto captions) isn't discrimination.

I truly appreciate you saying it, but do realize that this is your opinion. Ultimately, we will not know unless this goes to court (which I think UCB decided not to do).

>To compare that with with legitimate historical oppressions against minorities is short sighted.

Two problems with your statement:

1. "Legitimate" is used, when the very essence of the debate is whether it is legitimate or not.

2. "short sighted" is not an argument.

>This isn't utilitarian "good of the many at the expense of the few"

This is part of the debate. If public money is being used for this, then it is at the expense of everyone (including the few). The interpretation of the ADA rules is that for such uses, everyone should have fair access, for some definition of "fair". If UCB was private, and did not take public money, this would not be a debate.

> Piping JSON through multiple programs creates lots of trivial changes, which makes it hard to do things like take meaningful diffs.

That's the virtue of having a format which offers a canonical representation for data.

> No insignificant whitespace.

I.e., it's not human-readable. It also has no decent way to exchange binary data (there is no byte-sequence type: one must either use Base64 or an array of integers, neither of which is space-efficient).

It'd be nice to have a format which is both human-readable and has a canonical representation. Fortunately, such a thing already exists (and I've even linked to it once already today), and has since 1997: http://people.csail.mit.edu/rivest/Sexp.txt

Here's a JSON example (from http://json.org/example.html):

{
"glossary": {
"title": "example glossary",
"GlossDiv": {
"title": "S",
"GlossList": {
"GlossEntry": {
"ID": "SGML",
"SortAs": "SGML",
"GlossTerm": "Standard Generalized Markup Language",
"Acronym": "SGML",
"Abbrev": "ISO 8879:1986",
"GlossDef": {
"para": "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.",
"GlossSeeAlso": ["GML", "XML"]
},
"GlossSee": "markup"
}
}
}
}
}

Here it is in SON:

{"glossary":{"GlossDiv":{"GlossList":{"GlossEntry":{"Abbrev":"ISO 8879:1986","Acronym":"SGML","ID":"SGML","GlossDef":{"GlossSeeAlso":["GML","XML"],"para":"A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook."},"GlossSee":"markup","GlossTerm":"Standard Generalized Markup Language","SortAs":"SGML"}},"title":"S"},"title":"example glossary"}}

Here it is in an advanced S-expression representation:

(glossary "example glossary"
(div S
(entry SGML
(sort SGML)
(term "Standard Generalized Markup Language")
(acronym SGML)
(abbrev "ISO 8879:1986")
(def "A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook."
(see-also GML XML))
(see markup))))

And here it is in its canonical representation:

(8:glossary16:example glossary(3:div1:S(5:entry4:SGML(4:sort4:SGML)(4:term36:Standard Generalized Markup Language)(7:acronym4:SGML)(6:abbrev13:ISO 8879:1986)(3:def72:A meta-markup language, used to create markup languages such as DocBook.(8:see-also3:GML3:XML))(3:see6:markup))))

What, you'd like something which is immune to 7-bit/8-bit or email mangling? Here's the same data in transport format:

{KDg6Z2xvc3NhcnkxNjpleGFtcGxlIGdsb3NzYXJ5KDM6ZGl2MTpTKDU6ZW50cnk0OlNHTUwoNDpz

All three of those S-expression formats can be losslessly converted to one another. Ordering is exactly as specified (they are lists, not unordered or ordered dicts — although one can understand them as dicts, if desired).
Google and Facebook now run networks larger than most major ISPs -- among the largest on the planet.

>> Over the longer term, privacy is dead.

Privacy will die if we let it die. It's not an inevitability. We have the power to prevent it (through law imo, not tech). As for it being equitable I don't see how that could ever happen. Having access to everyone's private information would be of zero use to me but would be very useful for governments and companies.

I don't understand why it was less tedious to write a source-transforming module than to just make the static code changes once and be explicit about it.`b''` is supported in Python 2.7, so it's just redundant. I think people will be confused if they look at a nominally Python 3 codebase and find that string literals are being encoded as bytes.

It's certainly a clever hack, I just think you're more likely to introduce "subtle bugs" when you are doing something decidedly non-standard implicitly.

Why can't you be intellectual and educated, yet still "have a beer"?

I was born and grew up in Bakersfield, California - redneck central (well, oakie); while I don't have a real degree (due to bad choices as a younger individual, among other reasons), I don't consider myself unintelligent, and I hope that my posting history here also reflects this.

Like many here, I'm a self-learner, and a software developer. I enjoy electronics and robotics as hobbies. I'm currently working on a Udacity nanodegree in self-driving car technology. I have past experience in ML/AI tech. I could go on but I won't.

Yet - I enjoy wrenching on vehicles on occasion, visiting junkyards and pulling parts, plus having a beer and burger now and again. I'm not one for sports, but if a game is on and you want to watch it, I'll watch along with ya. Would I prefer reading something a bit more "intellectual" or pursuing similar things? Sure - but that's only one part of me.

Why does it have to be one or the other? Let's go out shooting at the range, then afterward I'll help escort some women into PP (not that I've done either - but I am both for 2A rights and a woman's right to choose).

I was actually just referring to the JavaScript, as you have supported JS in RN for some time now. Obviously now that ur doing the native combo u also gotta get native source mapping as well. But I would recommend taking what u started to 100% before getting bogged down by native integration.

In short an example using Code Push and Travis would go a long way for you guys and could be done in a weekend. Just use the above Code Push Travis Cli tool. I think a lot of developers would see the path toward RN sentry integration way more clearly if they could see that. Even if they are using other deployment and ci providers.

JS on its own is also more important. Tools like Crashyltics are already mature and automated for native stack traces. People don't mind mixing two solutions if they know they are using high quality solutions for what they specialize in. I want to use sentry for JS, but i need to know sentry is serious about integration with react native. Up until now it has felt like a shaky afterthought. Now it feels like ur taking it seriously but skipping a step. Make the original JavaScript integration on point and painless.
> the idea of government bureaucrats dictating network engineering standards to carriers and ISPs

I have to admit I read that and I completely discount the rest of your comment. Nobody who actually believes in even the concept of sensible government regulation uses phrasing like this. I'm surprised you didn't call out "three letter agencies" too.

And besides that I believe you're just trying to fool people too stupid to know what NN is when you say net neutrality "dictates network engineering standards". I don't think your comment is intellectually honest at all.
The example isn't base two. It's base 10. It just happens to be a number that only has 0s and 1s. Like eleven. Or 1000.
I do care personally. I'm just saying net neutrality policies implemented in the United States* effecting only companies that operate their networks in the US is not a great place to discuss whether or not an Iraqi citizen or the country if Iraq should implement net neutrality regulations

However the FCC of which the article speaks (which sets the tone of the conversation that is about what article I would naturally think) is based and regulating companies and is regulating institutions within ....you guessed it! The United States.

I don't believe Iraqis should have zero rated internet access. I also believe you aren't quoting me saying as such. Again I ask: how is what Iraqs telecom regulations are have an impact on the FCC?

And to be clear I believe strongly in net neutrality in the USA and abroad. It just holds no direct bearing on FCC policy.

I think zero rating in essence limits access, allows ISPs to pick winners and losers on the internet, and could threaten the next great platform for free speech.

I'm still awaiting a real factual rebuttal to net neutrality. I'd love to hash these ideas out. How does zero rating actually benefit anyone? How does the current changes and near term purposed structure of telecom regulations benefit the average consumer? How would you seek to increase competition specifically.

Not hide vagaries of "reduce regulation". What regulations exactly?

In this same thread I posted at length what I believe to be strong facts in favor of net neutrality. I can re post them here if you like.
What is shitty about DevOps?

Selling your entire internet history sounds very wrong to me.

Unless it's anonymized for like statistical purposes, sorta like saying Google.com is the #1 website like Alexa does.

I just wish instead of having 100's of pages of regulations scattered throughout a bunch of different acts where it's impossible for one person to know. Even if you are trying to not break the law, you probably will by accident. I know I heard a statistic the average American commits 3 felonies a day without knowing.

I feel like we should have more common sense, and have more straight to the point shorter regulations. It is impossible for someone in one life time to even read all the laws and regulations that exists.

It just seems like the laws, and even agreements for services are long and bloated. If people actually read their subscriber agreements they sign when getting cable installed, it seems like the cable guy would be waiting on you for quite a bit. I doubt anyone even reads the terms of service for Facebook.

But we even have PSA's to tell people to not text and drive, so maybe the world isn't smart enough to go by common sense.

Then not all regulations are even online. Maybe if everything was in markdown, categorized and formatted to be more digestible things would be better. I know we need some regulations, but it seems we have way too many and poor formatting. It just seems like insanity to me.
> The principle of charity demands when at first glance you want to attribute irrationality to an opponent you should instead seek to understand their motivations instead of simply dismissing them as 'irrational'

I'm speaking of the U.S.A. Foundations never go away and the U.S.A was founded on puritan values, i.e shameism. There is no motivation, it's a rooted tradition that hasn't been uprooted yet.

> There are good reasons for nuclear power but it's not irrational to say nuclear power poses risks. The public simply calculates a different expected value in the unlikely event of a problem because the outrage produced by such an event would be so high.

This topic, nuclear vs. similarly-outputting-source, has been beaten to death. Nuclear power is one of the less dangerous, yet high output, sources of energy. The public "eyeballs" their calculations with old data, anecdotes, and inconsistencies.

> Also, It doesn't have to be a conscious lens for it to have an effect on norms/behavior

Yes, but then it starts to sway towards irrationality. When you can no longer understand the basis for your actions, how can you figure out if they're rational or not?

If you don't know your reasons or logic, then by simplification your actions are irrational.
