Ah! I see it now. Went into spam for some reason.
Yes, but if you don't avoid it, you might never get off the ground to the point where you have years of time and tons of money in the first place.
You can't legally use React without a patents license. The difference between the patents grant and the copyright license is mostly in the timeframe they cover (20 years for patents, 100+ years or whatever for copyright).
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

I'll come clean: A lot of what I've been writing in this thread has been practice for writing in general. None of it is untrue, none of it is exaggerated, and none of it is even different in tone to how I live my life. It's all there, laid bare, heart on my sleeve but written in a way that people will find engaging.

Why? Because I want to practice writing. Because I want what I write to be enjoyed. Because everything I write on the Internet, now and previously, has been the sort of hum-drum okay I've argued with you online garbage that every man and his dog has written.

And I want to be better than that.

I want to be better than that in the way that makes people think, or the way that makes people smile, or the way that makes people sad. I'm not trying to achieve any of those things, in and of themselves, I'm just trying to tell my story in a way that other people might end up commiserating, or empathising, or sympathising, or whatever it is that people do when they read something like this.

All of that said, though, to be honest I don't give a fuck what you think. Despite the fact that if I knew you I might love you, I don't know you, and so I don't. What you think, as an Internet guy, doesn't really make an impact to my life, except in the sort of butterfly-winged chaos theory sort of way.

So, y'know. You're great. Thanks for the compliment, but I don't care. Cognitive dissonance is a bitch.
I wouldn't think there's just one pendulum that governs how people view an issue either but there's certainly a continuum for how emotional people will get over certain issues. Obviously if you have no emotion over an issue you won't care one way or the other but if anyone gets too emotional they're much more likely to be irrational, cave to bias and tune out altering view points.

Most people on this site are aware that objectivity and not caving to their own bias isn't easy and, more or less, requires constant effort and that is the same kind of effort that should be promoted amongst the public at large.
As almost anybody here could tell you, just because something feels true certainly does not make it true but we seem to relish a culture that seems to believe that person's emotions should never be challenged and doing so is merely cruel rather than, at times, necessary.

Just because confronting bias is hard to do, and may hurt someone's feelings, doesn't mean that that bias should be ignored, or worse promoted. I'm not talking about whether or not conservatives, liberals, libertarians or whoever else is right but instead challenging the notion that what we need to promote more civic engagement is to tell people what is going on in the country and the world in a manner they want to hear it. What we should be doing is telling people what is going in the world and country in a manner that actually is and at the same time the public needs to be calling out demagogues for what they are and understanding why they are dangerous.
What did you use to make the GUI using Go?
Really, how do I remote into my Xbox One dev kit? How do I debug GPU blue screen drive bugs remotely?
My personal interpretation of this is that hypothetically you are likely to value your own patent(s) more than you value the time to re-write your application with something other than React. So if you need to sue Facebook, factor in that you’ll need a re-write as well.

My professional opinion is that if you use React and are concerned about this, talk to your attorney.
The public interest is harmed by Facebook eliminating all competitors.
"I assumed the license was OK considering its popularity."

I would have too. I'm getting into Clojure(Script) where React(Native) seems to be a popular choice for UI. I haven't touched it yet. I hope there's a good alternative when I get around to it because I really like Clojure but I never wanted to rely on anything made by Facebook.
I am most likely going to open source it, so you will be able to build your own version and control everything.

For now I guess you can only monitor the traffic with a tool like WireShark and see for yourself that eul only fetches current version for the autoupdates and submits error reports.
Some of the mobile carriers in the U.K. have provided the option to change the dialing tone when people call you for a good few years. I think it was limited to a preselected list of songs though.

Don't give them ideas please :-)
Yes, definitely. Pick up the early FRUiTS books by Phaidon for a great, enlivening and colorful overview of 90s street fashion and youth. These images of creativity are what first got me really interested in traveling to JP.
It's on the front page because it got voted there by the audience of readers on hacker news, thus it is relevant. QED.
But they will have "microservices architecture" which looks better on your resume than monolith.
Not to get all Buddhist or whatever on you, but yeah, I think the experience of going out and at least putting in the minimal effort of picking something out in a physical store and carting it home, increases your appreciation of that item. Letting yourself be whatevered by Amazon's whatevering algorithms and click-click-click, is this even the life that you thought you wanted, or is it just Amazon trying to sell you stuff?
I was considering adding IRC but I thought that almost no one uses it these days (sadly!)

Ideally yes, I'd like to implement it. It's a stable protocol that's not going to change, so there's not much cost in maintaining it.

What are you using IRC for?
I'm drawing it with OpenGL :)
I feel like the biggest hurdle these other tech companies see is a lack of "disruption" without automated driving. If a human is still driving then you can't really ever make the system more efficient.

Most tech companies have made their billions by automating processes and undercutting the old school competition. If you can't automate driving you can't build a strong competitive advantage against traditional taxi businesses.

Uber realizes this and they're willing to do anything, no matter how unethical, to get self driving vehicles first. That will be the true market disruption, and likely winner-take-all because you will instantly have such a gigantic cost advantage.

That's why you see Ubers competitors all working on self-driving. They're trying to leapfrog the next obvious evolution of the transport business.
The lines delimit the lanes, they are not a lane. And my drive time is not lower if they die in the middle of the freeway, that slows things way down, and then I have to look at flowers at that spot for the next several years.
Good for you.

This is, to be honest, the best way to enjoy alcohol. It gives you the social-glue that you need to network, it gives you the social-relaxant that might deepen your interpersonal relationships, and it gives you all the fun and enjoyment you can get from drinking a good drink.

What you're missing by the way, with regards to your drinking, is a complete and utter disregard for consequences. Do you think, while I'm getting drunk, that I don't know what might happen? What I might say to people I love and what I might reveal that I wish I hadn't? Of course I know. I know and I don't care, or alternatively I know and I care and I want the truth to come out instead of burning a hole in the pit of my stomach, because what I want to put out there doesn't fit with the neat little jigsaw puzzle picture of society I have in my head.

Maybe it's right and maybe it's wrong, but it's me.
IMHO I think one problem is ecommerce in general creating more convenient ways for us to spend money, first by optimizing our purchases on the web (Amazon 1-Click), bringing this optimizations back to brick & mortar (Amazon Go) and who knows what else.

But is increasing the quantity and frequency of consumer spending really necessary? These tactics may help businesses meet their end-of-quarter goals but along the way more people are drowning in debt and shit they don’t need.
Having visited the old light source building at SLAC, the inside is not an inspiring workspace. It was never intended to be a light source, so the beamlines (i.e. the business end) were crammed under the struts and widgets that kept the synchrotron working. Not an economic win. Also, no windows.

The newer buildings are probably nicer. I bet they have foosball tables, too.
Two data points:

I continue using a 2009 MacBook Pro, because for me its keyboard has a better feel than the more recent notebooks. Except for high-end Lenovos, I find notebook keyboards (and trackpads) very poor quality compared to the old Apple keyboards.

On my main desktop system I use an old Lexmark (aka IBM) clicky clacky keyboard from the PC/AT era. I have yet to wear it out. I tried using it in an open office setting but my co-workers complained about the noise. I grudgingly used a Logitech until I moved into a private office -- I just close the door.

I first became aware of these sorts of books through airport bookstores. There is a rack of bestsellers in each one that I have been to (I don't fly often). Easy reads, many of them written by reporters and a well fitting impulse buy for people who may have nothing to do but sit and wait for hours. As the sales ratchet up, Amazon will do the same as these bookstores. Premium eyeball space gets allocated to these books.

The books may or may not be junk. Your assessment of them is based on other objects which share certain characteristics. The books you feel are high quality share the characteristics of "book" but that doesn't mean they are in the same category to be judged together. If these books were instead called "magazines" (which have similar characteristics) then we wouldn't be comparing them to the higher quality books.

The internet enabled Amazon and it has also supercharged my ability to do further research to distinguish between good books and trash. I also prefer buying things shipped from out of sight warehouses rather than chains of big box stores.

Has Amazon really changed anything? Of every output from this world, probably most things are junk and a small percentage is valuable. The things I create is probably the same. Only rarely do I come up with something amazing. Note: we probably have to restrict this to idea space. The Iphone represents a huge ball of outputs from the army of people who are involved in creating them, but the idea space which created the Iphone was probably a drop in the ocean of bad ideas.
I suspect that it will be in a very long time.

For one thing, I've seen each generation of new managers forget or ignore the knowledge hard-won by their predecessors or the software body of knowledge. Oh, and ignore their current experts, too. I think it's a bug in the human wetware because it happens so often.

For another, it was explained to me when consulting at $giantcorp that sometimes - for example, regulatory compliance or competitive edge - it's more important to get a shitty monolith out there, bugs and all, by a drop-dead date than to save in the long run by doing a good job.

And as long as there are people out there willing to work for low wages fixing or rewriting the pile of crap, and it's profitable for $company, the practice will continue.

Or until someone can prove, with cost measurements on multiple large-scale projects implementing the same requirements, that the ROI - in bottom line $ terms - on a well-engineered system is much greater than the crappy equivalent.

I can't see that happening because of all the variables involved (team, skill, chance, cost, variance in interpretation of requirements, and so on), plus, who would pay for that?

EDIT - typo.
IMO the best part about OCaml is that it's just so fun to write code in. The type system is a million times more expressive and elegant than anything the world of Java/C# offers and more rigorous to boot. And unlike Haskell, you can cheat a little and write imperative code if you really need to. The library ecosystem could be better with OCaml though, but this is a chicken-egg problem and not an indictment of the language itself.
"Yes, provided they can read!"

I'm (nominally) a professional, and somewhat educated, but I honestly question whether I can actually read. There are plenty of things written in good English that I cannot read. Many articles in The Journal Nature, most prose written before about 1850, technical books written in other than encyclopedic form...
Probably any patent FB has on React. The point is, did FB enumerate the patents they have on React or they keep the list secret?
You (and I) are almost certainly going to get it wrong first time around. Which approach is most forgiving of errors? I'd say monolith.
Nice to see Facebook taking this feedback to heart. Thanks!
Coetzee wrote the best description of programming I've ever read : " The more he has to do with computing, the more it seems to him like chess: a tight little world defined by made-up rules, one that sucks in boys of a certain susceptible temperament and then turns them half-crazy, as he is half-crazy, so that all the time they deludedly think they are playing the game, the game is in fact playing them."

Asimov seems to have been sitting in a room with only TV and newspapers. How can he see anything else? So he wrote this column and i see a ladder to climb (assume effort required) to get the right to know.

But today he would spin on a sit n spin with his hands out where a web of bits bury his body. Slowly

What would he write now?
Business and entrepeneurship are a means to an end. Life is about relationships with people you love. Although trite, it's very true that nobody on their death bed wishes they spent more time at the office.
Was expecting more mentions of this wonderful utility. It seems to work well in conjunction with a sync service (use Gdrive personally).
Because as an individual, my vote doesn't matter. I know we like to tell ourselves that our vote counts, and voting is important, but mathematically, it just doesn't (again, as an individual)

Elections in cities are never decided by exactly one vote; if they were, they would certainly go to a court and the court would decide anyway.

That means that I know whether I choose to go to the polls or not, it won't affect the outcome. Now, of course, if a whole demographic realizes this and doesn't vote, it does swing the election. However, when I am sitting at home deciding whether to vote or not, I am not deciding for a whole demographic; I am just deciding whether I as an individual will vote.

I might get downvoted, because the idea that our individual vote doesn't really matter goes against everything we are taught in democracies. We REALLY want to believe our vote matters, and as a whole, it DOES. We want everyone to vote, it allows our democracy to function. So we tell ourselves little lies that our vote AS AN INDIVIDUAL matters.

Deep down, though, we know it doesn't, so many people decide to stay home.
Actually, that is exactly the point - Git can be used in ways that obscure history. That is why correct and uniform use are important in a project.
As for your question -look at the graph again. fixA was NOT necessarily committed on featureB. Very likely it was not. But it looks that way, due to the way Git manages branches.
I know this is kind of a joke comment but the community is tiny:

Would it be pithy to tell you, simply, that you're wrong?

If it is, I'll expand: I'm thirty and change years old. I don't have children because I don't want them, because for all I know about myself I think I'd be a terrible parent, short tempered, lacking in patience, and yes, it has to be said, an alcoholic.

So how will this hit me at 30? Well, how it will hit me is a group of great friends, people who I love, who will join me at the bar and join me in good health and bad, misery and happiness, excitement and ennui. All of them are people I would trust with my life, my darkest secrets, and my greatest hopes and dreams.

And you know where I meet them? I meet them at the bar.
This is one of the odder things I've read on the Internet... I think you're misunderstanding the nature of fundamental research.

Nobody knows in advance which ideas will be groundbreaking and what won't. Most people who have made big discoveries spend huge amounts of time on things that will go nowhere, or "toys". I'm pretty sure there's at least an entire chapter of one of Feynman's books devoted to this.

People who make big breakthroughs tend not to be the kind of people who are self-consciously trying to make big breakthroughs. They just do what they want, guided by their own curiosity.

The whole point of tenure is to insulate you from pressure on what to work on. Maybe some people at MIT were critical of Shannon; I have no idea.

But that's the nature of creativity. You can't manage it. If MIT wanted they could get rid of the tenure system, but that would be a horrible idea.

If he didn't want to work on things he was "supposed to", so be it. The entire theory of information wasn't something he was "supposed to" work on either.

Your idea of 'shipping' also seems to indicate a misunderstanding of the research process.

> As people realize the majority does not rule[1], they are choosing to not waste their time.

That points to a particularly brittle concept of democracy that needs to change.

Voters shouldn't have to gain a national consensus to feel like their party or idea actually matters.
Have you ever gone twelve months drinking and eating only the exact, blandest food required to sustain your life?

Have you ever gone twelve months spending time doing anything other than your favourite activity?

Have you ever gone twelve months spending time with people who aren't your friends, when you would rather be elsewhere?

Of course, physically and mentally, I could go without alcohol, in the same way that I could go without doing those other things. Will I, though? Would that be a good life choice? Will any of them make me better people who enjoys life more and more fully than otherwise?

Probably not.

I'm always amused at the Silicon Valley attitude towards "patent trolls". Figuring out some way to make people slave for below minimum wage - fine. Obtaining a monopoly and then raising prices - fine.
Using a monopoly in one area, such as an app store, to keep out competitors for your own products - fine.
Shipping crap that doesn't work - fine. But enforcing patent rights - that's bad.
i just heard him doing the podcast rounds. this guy has spent the last ten years being a "content creator" churning out thousands of words a day aimed at the mass market. You're shocked that it has mass market success? He's done his 10,000 hours. It doesn't cater to you but that's almost by design.
I don't understand how code with a bsd license without a patent grant is better for the apache foundation than facebook's bsd + patent license. With the former, the entity donating the source can sue you for patent infringement at any time.

Clearly the apache 2 license would be preferable (and what rocks db did), but I am puzzled the foundation accepts bsd code in their products, given their worry about patents.

How is it blackmail if it's a viable option they are going ahead with? Are you suggesting they are/were bluffing?

> home to uncontacted Waorani people

It is unconscionable we do not contact these people and bring them basics like modern medicine and education about proper hygiene. Basically they are animals in a zoo for our pleasure atm.
I'd call that a "distinction without a difference". Those are generally fallacious, and more often pedantic. Sure, you can still technically use React if, say, you're based somewhere that patents aren't particularly enforced. But if that's the case, why do you have patents in the first place?
>Has this ever happened?

Yes.

> I don't think so.

That doesn't make it any less true. What you think and feel have little to do with real facts.

Yes. Revostock, a small business that simply sold After Effects templates by independent artists was shut down by a patent troll:

Mattermost is the open source Slack alternative, right? I haven't considered these smaller projects yet, because there are a lot of them. Implementing new protocols takes time.

There are still a lot of crucial features I need to implement, but after eul is out of beta, Mattermost support should be there.
OCaml has many of the good qualities people attribute to Go (simplicity, speed, relatively low-latency GC, well-engineered compiler&runtime) and none of the downsides. Its weakness is terrible support for multithreading (like CPython it has a global lock, such that only one thread can execute OCaml code at a time), but there's work in progress to fix that. Personally I'm of the opinion that if the developers had taken multicore more seriously a decade ago, and improved Windows support, it would/could be used now for most of the things for which Go is used.
Edit: Caffe2 is similarly afflicted. Torch and PyTorch are not. Some of Torch modules are, however.
I don't think that the OP meant that it was so nice and simple that it was a breeze to read. I think OP meant that it felt like a bunch of r/im13andthisisdeep posts.
Well, yes, but you can change your name and usually avoid having to pay up a large sum.
My heuristic for this kind of thing is: Subject is "how to be happy" and "is for sale" then "complete bullshit". By selling something you are, by definition, giving a fuck, so how can anyone take this seriously? I think some people have some really good advice for being happy and I don't think those people have any interest in putting that advice behind a paywall. Problem is, it's harder to find because they don't have an advertising agent.

Well, Conway's Law states that code reflects the organization's bureaucracy... bad software means bad leadership and decision making, likely spread throughout the company. Companies will root out those inefficiencies if and only if they are doing poorly. Deep cultural changes are hard to drive if the company is doing relatively well, no one wants to take the "risk" of trying to improve.
Was about to say the same. My company explicitly forbids it for some stupid reason. One of the main drivers for my current job search.
