Please note that Fiber is not meant to be a “big speed improvement”. (React is already pretty fast, and most speed improvements you can do in this space are marginal for most apps.)

Fiber is a rewrite that makes it easier for us to add new features to React (and it adds some). It also adds the foundation for enabling better perceived performance in the future releases thanks to async pre-rendering and more control over scheduling. That part is still work in progress and won't be enabled in React 16 by default.

So we do think eventually it’ll enable us to build more responsive apps, but we’re still working out the details and experimenting with what it can do. Don’t expect any drastic changes on this front in React 16.

I am pretty sure the project being open source and in the hand of a team in a big company instead of an independent developer has more to do with it.
I think they want to start their production environment on one node, and then scale as their product grows. I'm not saying that it's a particularly good approach, but I've seen situations where people frown when you say that your 10 user product needs at least 3 machines to function, just because it's run on cluster software that's designed to build products for millions of users on. It would be easier to sell if you could run it on 2 or even 1 server, and still grow the cluster to proper size when the circumstances demand it.

Of course, there are very good reasons for it to require 3 machines, and since machines are so cheap, it should be absolutely a no brainer to spawn a $5 node to get that quorum running, but that's I think the argument for it.
Hi, Lee from the GraphQL/Relay team here

You're not off base at all! It's very similar to that. I think it's important to extract what was good and bad about this old website pattern.

The good is that within a single PHP file you could see both the logic for requesting data (SQL) AND the logic for rendering that data. This colocation was part of what made the early web take off, it was a great developer experience.

The bad is that these interspersed SQL statements were immediately invoked and blocking, which led to utterly awful performance.

One of the core ideas of Relay is that we wanted to bring back that developer experience of colocation while not only retaining good network performance, but actually creating opportunities for network optimization. When you see GraphQL in your Relay code, that is not a blocking immediately invoked network request. It's a description of a part of data needed. Relay aggregates these GraphQL fragments together to submit in few network requests in a non-blocking way to achieve the network performance we expect from modern mobile applications.

Thanks - you have reminded me of it being mentioned in school that Maxwell came to his four equations through contemplation of a more concrete model that he later put aside - a sort of Wittgenstein's ladder.

I searched on "Maxwell spinning cells" and found [1], which includes this:

"Two courses seemed to be open. One was to desert Faraday and fields, and assume that all effects result from action at a distance between magnetic poles and electrical charges or currents...[This] was also the basis of an attempt at a complete theory by Wilhelm Weber, which was mathematically elegant and offered an explanation for most of the known effects. But Weber had made a critical assumption – that the force between two electrical charges depends not only on their distance apart but also on their relative velocity and acceleration along the straight line joining them."

Now I am wondering if that was a foretaste of special relativity.

Sorry guys, but voting his comments down do not change the laws of economics. If someone in Romania can do your job - with the same quality - at 1/10th the price, the market will find a way to move the work there.

In most cases, it really isn't equivalent and the price difference isn't that much for really qualified people, but shutting out lots of talented people might tilt things in that direction.
That's basically the premise of Scott Meyer's "Off to be the Wizard" (Magic 2.0) book series. It's a lot of fun, I recommend it.

Ask HN: Why are journal articles only available for 24 hours?
I've seen journal articles (for example http://www.ehbonline.org/article/S1090-5138(14)00024-5/fulltext) that cost like $30 and give you a DRM-free PDF but only 24 hours of online access.

What's the business case for only 24 hours of access? Do they think I'm going to lose the article and download it again? I doubt it's because they're paying through the nose for bandwidth.

There is, but you would need to do some job and compare your results with those of the paper. Here it is:

At least for the binary sequence and the random grid tests it would give you your results.
In any realistic scenario it's of course only possible to stay within some threshold around 1G. But why would it be theoretically impossible? If I drop the nose down slightly I reduce downward forces to say 0.95G. In the same manouver I accelerate left with 0.31G. Since 0.95^2 + 0.31^2 = 1^2, I still have a net force of 1G on the aircraft. In theory it should be possible to compute a path that keeps me at exactly 1G at all times.
I had a friend who worked at a company asking for people to be voluntarily laid off. They paid for grad school, and this got said person out of owing them years of service in repayment. Saved someone else from being laid off, and said person was able to find a job they liked much better.

Hi, Lee from the GraphQL/Relay team.

To clarify a bit: we've removed fields from and changed our database schema repeatedly over the years. In fact we've migrated between entire database technologies multiple times over.

What we haven't done is remove fields from our GraphQL API when those fields are still in use by shipped iOS, Android, or web apps.

GraphQL gives us a layer of abstraction to create consistency from the point of view of client apps while allowing iteration of backend services.
Basking in future billionaires could mean taxing them to fix US education systems (or a lifetime supply of mojitos, I don't care) so it's not all bad.

But there's a knock on effect -- if you go to the effort of sponsoring an H1-B with the intention of underpaying them, then changing the rules to allow visa holders to leave you for a job that pays job (or better work-life balance or has a mojito bar) would leave you holding all the processing expense and none of the profit from underpaying people.

> As someone who has worked on a truly large React project, I can assure you this is not true.

there's no such things as the best approach for all needs. React brings you load of advantage but it assumes stuff you might not be ok with:

- spend time maintaining your project over time fixing stuff on version change that won't bring any direct value to your project

- you're ok with the licence and with the company maintaining it.

- hard to debug stack trace

- ship code that you have no control over, increasing the payload size (at least for small to medium size projects)

> I cannot imagine the shitshow that project would be using jQuery to track the state.

First nobody force you to use jquery. Manipulating the Dom isn't what it was when people had to maintain stuff on ie6. Dealing with the Dom directly isn't a "shit show" anymore and if you understand the concept of redux you can use those general concept and apply it in your project to manage the state. Plain Js simply assume the Dom isn't a magical piece of software, it just has prototype and stuff people usually don't like around here but hey, if you're coding stuff for the web, it's better to know how to deal with it than denying it

Es6 brings lot of great features you can use today, you don't need react for that
To help people position your product in their heads effectively, points of parity (e.g. analogies) and points of difference are very useful.

The 'X for Y' is a way to express both at once "it's like X but it's different because it focuses on Y". However, as you say, it only works well in limited situations and can come off as very cliché.

During customer development, I recommend leading with the input / output description and then letting the recipient clarify using their own 'point of parity'.
You do auctions for 64k and 500 for startup founders.
Then you set up an extra pool of 10k for startup employees. The company has to be younger than 6 years, raise at least 1 mln from venture capital and only 30% of the workforce could be on visas. It will make pseudo startups expensive to run by outsourcing companies.

That's isnt the same thing. The pilot can be incorrect. Him ordering your removal can be a criminal act. Him ordering you off could see him put in jail. There were cases about this decades ago (think white captains refusing black passengers). That doesn't mean that a passenger can stay once ordered off. Whether the removal order is legal or not comes afterwards.
I mean, it's the Economist. Editorializing in favor of the global Capitalist order is kind of their premise.

So react-native is passé?
You are dogmatically defending Turing test which I think is the primary source of this confusion. Turing test says: if it fools humans into thinking its intelligent it is intelligent. That is fair. But once some other humans understand the inner workings of some simple "AI" mechanism it no longer fools humans, since they now know what adversarial questions to ask to uncover it. Therefore it consequently fails the Turing test and we have the AI effect. This test is just a bad idea and it impairs research (for a number of reasons stated in the post which you prematurely dismiss).

The coffee criterion for AGI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_general_intelligenc...) is much better, since it requires ability to creatively interact with unpredictable reality as a test for intelligence. It avoids all the philosophical bullshit and all the smoke and mirrors, since you cannot fool physics. Somehow the so called "AI researchers" avoid robotics like fire, sine there stuff actually needs to work (not just statistically) and outrageous BS claims cannot be made.

And yes, ultimately the human brain may be smoke and mirrors. But frankly, quite sophisticated smoke and mirrors, not anywhere close to the crap that is being put forward right now.

You see, sometimes one's perception of reality is just very different.

For example, you say that "I hear vastly more about the three male cofounders than I do about the one female cofounder."

I believe you - you hear what you hear. That said, I've been around HN for a while, yet I had to look up who the other male cofounders even were. Doing a search by their names, Jessica has easily three times more submissions about her than either Trevor or Robert.

And so when our perception is so different, many people will simply incorrectly assume dishonesty, because that's easier to picture. I find it unfortunate, but I don't think it can be avoided unless one's willing to be very detailed about the priors that led one to a certain conclusion rather than just state it and hope people will see it the same way.

I understand 1G as also requiring the vector to be pointing down on the aircraft. If you allow it to point in any direction as long as the vector has length 1 passengers will notice and not all mechanical parts will be guaranteed to work so the fact that it's technically 1G is not enough to guarantee any airplane can do it. I think that's not the usual definition of 1G either as we even talk about negative Gs (and airframes are particularly sensitive to them) which wouldn't make sense in that case.

But it would be cool to see if there's a theoretical path that we can recognize as a barrel roll than keeps exactly 1G of acceleration in any direction needed.

The point is that these Indian outsourcing firms would hire a white face as a sales person and use them to sell the exact same people on L1 visas (which are temporary work visas; but easy to get) at foreign rates and ship most of the work offshore.

It would cost a little more for the outsourcing firms, sure, but it would be a net drain on the US economy (especially since it would keep real job creating entrepreneurial talent from coming to the US).

Of course they ought to just increase the number of H1-B visas... They have always been a drop in the bucket on the technology market, even in the worst times (2001 and 2009). These are the future immigrants that we want in the US, highly educated, driven, mobile upwards and ready to buy a house. If you can't find a job or compete with H1-Bs in this economy you probably should consider another occupation. I work for a unicorn, and on on the inside we are 80% foreign born, most started as H1-B.

The whole narrative of low skilled and cheap foreign H1-Bs taking American jobs exists somewhere in a parallel universe. In reality, it is hard to find even simply qualified people, regardless of their origin.

So, stop whining and leave H1-B alone, or better increase the cap, like the article suggests. The real danger is your job simply going overseas and being done remotely.
