I don't contest that those sites feel laggy and clunky, whether by poor load time, poor UX/UI, or some larger dysfunction.

However, I would offer that the usage of React is not so much the cause of poor performance but rather a step taken to remedy scale lag. Large apps like the one you mention are big behemoths that take months to adopt new architectures and patterns, but those activities are required to ensure the scalability of the infrastructure and product development. During the time those apps are not fully transitioned to React (and Redux, and isomorphic rendering, and a fully-featured API, and webpack, and a litany of other tools), they might feel half-baked or sluggish, because you may have a page loaded with server-side template rendering, but half of your components on the page are upgraded to React, and take a second to initialize.

IMO, React is a tool that provides an appropriately rigorous rubric for component development and a structure for large-scale interplay of reusable/composable frontend components, which was required for it to have any viability for a large org like Facebook. A lot of web apps are on the long trek to avail that potential fully, but while they're in transition, the experience of those apps will be a little disjointed or degraded.
I think you'll find the only reference to v6 is where the register names are explained, e.g. <= v7: r0, r1, etc. This is another thing it gets wrong, i.e. A64 registers can be x0, X1, etc, but also the lower 32 bits can be addressed via w0, w1, etc. http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc....
> Will young Philippinos empathize with terrorist causes after reading too much?

I didn't say anything about terrorism. I was talking about "One ex-manager who helped recruit Facebook moderators said staff were often traumatised by material.". Sorry for not being more clear.

Stressful traumatizing jobs can have a worse impact in a poor country that in one where there is more help available.
Very interesting article. In my experience writing Scala for the past year or so this article does indeed hit on many warts. But, there are many more warts not mentioned. The biggest two are the tooling (sbt for example) and the nearly incomprehensible standard library.

I tried installing this on the latest VirtualBox release. It installed cleanly, but the VM would not fully boot.
It just hangs on the startup splash screen, with the progress bar about three-quarters of the way across.

I found a wiki page advising VirtualBox users to disable "I/O APIC", and to change the virtual network adapter to "PCnet-FAST III". But this made no difference.

Just to be thorough, I re-installed completely from scratch with these settings. Still no difference.

Just to be crazy thorough, I created a new VM profile that was set for a 32-bit guest. Reinstalled from scratch. Still no difference.

Gave up.

Nothing but respect for the ReactOS folks, and all they've done over the years. But I imagine that the overwhelming majority of people who try this out are doing so in a VirtualBox VM. So if you don't have an up-to-date and accurate list of instructions for installing ReactOS on VirtualBox, prominently displayed near the download page, then you might consider prioritizing that.
My random advice from the internet is to pick a different name, change the product to show the new name and launch. It might even be possible to launch without changing the name and then start changing the name, but I am not advising that just mentioning it as an option.

Mostly, nobody cares about the name 'chowder' unless your app is a soup or stew. It's not worth delaying launch or lawyering up over at the scale of a side project.

Good luck.

> These people don't make any individual decision.

Yes, they have. If it were possible to fully automate the task, Facebook will not hire humans. From the article: "The moderators have to check posts that have been flagged up and make a snap judgement on whether they should be taken down.". Some videos are probably easy to identify, but the world is a scale of grays.
In Google's case, maybe not.

When I worked with the police, yes. You needed every scrap of horrible information and context. Usually because it's much worse than you think initially. (Background voices tell you someone was forced to watch, etc).

In the Netherlands there is a program for exactly that, "slachtofferhulp" ("victim help"). I'm not entirely sure what it entails, but I've been offered it even after merely witnessing the shop on the corner of my street being robbed from a distance (the thief ran past me just as I stepped outside my house, so I made a statement to the police).

Well okay he did threaten me, raising the knife while saying "don't even think about it" [standing in his way/stopping him]. But he didn't come at me, and I was certain I could have outrun him if he did (by running towards the shop, which he was focused on getting away from, after all), I remained at distance. Of course, this being the Netherlands, there was about zero risk the guy would pull a gun (especially after brandishing a rather cheap looking chef's knife).

Most of the people I work with here absolutely love it (in engineering). However, I will admit that some of the teams have crappy managers. Good thing is they've started bringing on new managers over the past 6 months that are much more experienced (without outing myself, my new manager had run the data team at a fortune 100 company for several years).

I think there was just this notion that you can promote from within to get your leaders... but this only works in some cases. Those directors at "stuffy" corporations like Oracle/Cisco/Microsoft? Fact is, they know how to manage teams at scale and you need some of them in your organization as it gets bigger. Even if the environment gets a little more bureaucratic.

It is disturbing to see people standing on both ends of the spectrum and arguing. And assuming everyone belongs to either. Author claims clearly to have gone through difficulties his whole life for being so "accommodating". While he was so wrong if he were advising against being "good" to people in general, it is also not acceptable that someone who hasn't tasted any bitterness for being eternally "good" to outright negate author's views. I would expect more sense on HN.

My issues with Chrome and tab management is that the tabs become progressively smaller, to the point of being unusable. There's likely an add-on for that, but Firefox handles it nicely with the Tab Center feature in Test Pilot. Also, if I need to restart the browser, Chrome loads every tab at startup and that's far from ideal. Firefox will only load the active tabs.

Not to underplay the absolutely shitty stuff Pai is doing at the FCC, but I seriously hope this is a wake up call for other countries to stop relying on America to be the benevolent overseer of the internet.

America contributed enormously to the development of the internet as we know it today, but it's quite clear that American political interests are aligned against the consumer now. Couple this with the fact that you have countries like the UK who will likely heavily censor the internet should the conservatives win a majority (which seems likely) and I think we should all expect the global internet to change in the coming years.

China showed it's possible to censor the internet on a massive scale. America is about to show it's possible to sell out equality for money. UK will likely sell out privacy for "security"

The current model of internet governance is incompatible with freedom and privacy.

JSX is very close to HTML. Maybe the issue is expecting designers who have zero dev skills to build front ends in a time of responsive design and rich JS interfaces. You wouldn't hire a print designer with no Photoshop experience to design a site, and you shouldn't hire a graphic designer with no web dev skills to build front ends. If you're team is really well formed, you might have an experienced graphic designer, a UX expert, and a front end developer who does the actual building as well as making day-to-day design decisions. The design/interface experts would work at a higher level of creating an overarching design language and UX guidelines.
We should all be ashamed. How can there not be enough money to send children to school? What did we spend it on. Maybe we took that money and bought an estate tax break or a more powerful missile.

Even if these schools could stay open for 5 days, I doubt any state willing to do something so reckless with education can provide an education worth getting.

A bunch of adults did this by treating politics like a game, but children will be the ones who suffer.

Abstract: Literate programming was conceived by Donald Knuth in the 1970s. Live programming has its roots even earlier, but the classic examples date from that same time. Both live programming and literate programming are now experiencing a resurgence. While these ideas were introduced separately, the two were made for each other from the start. This talk celebrates their happy, literate and live marriage.

> It also runs contrary to the push in many parts of the country to provide more time for learning — and daily reinforcement — as a key way to improve achievement, especially among poor children.

Isn't this a mythical outcome though?

> But funding for classrooms has been shrinking for years in this deep-red state as lawmakers have cut taxes, slicing away hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue in what some Oklahomans consider a cautionary tale about the real-life consequences of the small-government approach favored by Republican majorities in Washington and statehouses nationwide.

And yet they managed to keep the schools open on a budget a small fraction of the size in the past. Suddenly it has become so expensive to run the schools as they're currently structured that they can't even operate them. I don't think that reflects as poorly on the budget as it does on the school boards and administrators.

> The four-day week is a “contagion,” said Paul Hill, a research professor at the University of Washington Bothell who has studied the phenomenon in Idaho and who worries that the consequences of the shift — particularly for poor kids — are unknown.

Somebody who has studied the effects of moving to a four-day school week says that his worst worries are that the outcome is "unknown". If he had observed negative consequences elsewhere, you might expect him to say that the consequences could be negative.

> Democrats helped pass bipartisan income tax cuts from 2004 to 2008. Republicans — who have controlled the legislature since 2009 and governorship since 2011 — have cut income taxes further and also significantly lowered taxes on oil and gas production.

Wonderful, I wish somebody were doing that job where I live.

And for what it's worth, I don't see how a four-day school week would lead to cost savings. The biggest recurring expense, to my knowledge, would be teacher, administrative, and custodial salaries; none of which would be reduced by a four-day week. Utility costs would probably only decrease slightly, if at all. I don't see the budgets they pass around at these schools, but I can't see it generating a considerable cost savings.
I built myself a somewhat fancy card table a couple of years back, and wanted to add an authentic built-in casino-style shuffler for it, and was blown away by how much these things go for. Additionally, it is very difficult to buy them second-hand: I would guess Shufflemaster may have some agreement with their customers that limits their availability in the after-market. The few you can actually find on eBay still go for multiple thousands of dollars! I chose to go without and just shuffle the old fashioned way.

The market for a reasonably priced (under $500) in-table shuffler is probably very niche, but it exists and is an opportunity. As far as I'm aware there is only one other company with a decent one, and I won't link to them because of their extremely poor (borderline scammy) service. If you're a poker table builder though you've heard of the company and probably read the horror stories in the forums. Ripe for 'disruption'.
It gives that children have nothing to do with the current economy. Education effects on the economy are only seen every 20-30 years? When they become adults. Right now, it doesn't look good.
>Things like interfaces and pointers to interfaces, structs vs slies and maps are not consistent.

Yeah, and inconsistencies are one of the things that make for a more complex language, not a simpler one. In fact, Go has generics, but they only work for magic, built-in types. I would argue that's less simple than just supporting generics, and building your standard library out of language features.
This makes me smile every time I read it, but it's interesting to see the recent activity, from IP6, to implementations and races between IPoAC and other media.

And just to say, people are often surprised at how readable the RFCs are. But they are intended to be understood, each one is explicitly intended to be the document you use to actually implement something.

There is value in learning how to read an RFC, and RFC1149 is as good a place to start as any. Others that are worth reading include:

* RFC 768 : User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

* RFC 793 : Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Every one of the listed features is also available in Vim. I fail to see how this is either Sublime-like besides the keybindings (since a file pane is available on both Emacs and Vim) or will cause me to leave Vim or Emacs behind. That said, I can definitely see this replacing Nano for some folks.

>Not only are our eyes far more versatile than the most sophisticated camera equipment,

This is inaccurate. You do need a fairly good camera to beat the human eye, but only a couple hundred dollars. Cameras not only beat the human eye in total resolution and color depth, they beat it in peak resolution over an area much, much larger.

One of the main things you hear about cameras is that they have inferior dynamic range, but that is also untrue. A camera with an actual aperture (like the eye has the iris) is far superior. Cinema cameras are more than an order of magnitude better than the human eye, but even small cameras can be as good or better than eyes.

Reports that the human eye can detect single photons are highly exaggerated. Technically true, but on a very different basis than a camera. Compared fairly the camera will come out ahead.

The biggest "real" difference between cameras and eyes is field of view. Personally I have a 220 degree field. Although technically with two circular fisheye lenses you can get almost to 360 degrees, even individual eyes can have fields of view greater than 180. We know how it works and could reproduce it, but it's still very impressive and I don't think normal lenses do it.

Even a cheap webcam has higher "fps" and less blur than a human eye. Cameras are also much better at estimating velocity even besides that.

Some people are more sensitive to colors- especially infrared, and a number of people are tetrochromats. Cameras can naturally see infrared far deeper than humans although tetrachromatic/hyperspectral cameras aren't exactly common.

>we constantly maintain a mental model of the world that allows us to focus only on the things that matter, and accurately infer state.

This is not an advantage. What this means is that we aren't paying attention elsewhere. This is a very coarse first order optimization- cut out a ton of data, only pay attention to what you're paying attention to. It's tautological and it means you don't get to apply optimization algorithmically. This is a huge advantage for computers.
