> React doesn't do routing. It's a view library.

and that's the problem. React itself solves a tiny subset and delegates the other responsibilities to different tools which may not align with each other. Most of the is spent is wiring making different choices and wiring them together.

On a side note what made you move away from Angular 2 to React?
I think version control is a good analogy (Subversion and Git). It enables whole classes of products and services to be built on top of it, but that only happens because the basic tool is unambigiously free and can be used everywhere. Trying to monetize the basic thing just damages what makes it valuable.
Nobody figured out how to implement it efficiently yet.
I think that's too simplistic of a connecting of dots.

You're conflating with overeating. I don't believe healthy people, that stay within a healthy caloric range, that aren't predisposed to diabetes need to fear that the "rise in blood sugar" from simple carbs is going to lead to diabetes. And I'm not aware of any study that shows that or even could (it'd be incredibly hard to study), correct me if wrong.

Most people eat simple carbs every day and don't get diabetes. Athletes eat a lot of carbs and don't get diabetes.

I think you're looking for the Tor Browser.

If you don't log in into websites, I don't see why you would leave yourself exposed and very easily hacked with Firefox or private browsing if there's Tor.

Private browsing is NOT secure. It's just a shortcut to avoid clearing your history manually. ANYONE can see who you are, and what sites you visit with easy-to-use tools that are available online for free.

Does it have an equivalent for Bundles (specifically bundles in the inbox) - the one feature that distinguishes Google Inbox ( https://inbox.google.com ) from every other client as far as I know.

I'd be very interested in a competitor for that feature as I couldn't do without it now and I'd like to know I have options if Google retires it or modify it beyond recognition.

(Brief summary - they are like smart folders but they appear as a single item in your inbox. It enables me to bundle up various newsletters, server alerts and more broadly themed collections of mail and decide which ones should appear in my inbox immediately, daily or never. If I used traditional folders or labels then they end up forgotten or ignored. It allows you to file/categorize but still maintains the "my inbox is my todo list" paradigm.)
> Instead he generously chose to engage someone who had already made their conclusion and just wanted to "debate" without actually ceding to any points (take a shot any time OP says "liberal" or "PC").

Chomsky was not prepared to cede any points either. In many places, he does not respond to the probing questions asked of him at all (this is assuming the poster didn't add them in afterwards) instead opting to insult the poster.

Poster:

1: By what mechanism do white supremacist elements impose American black culture on the American black community today?
2: For example, how is white supremacy responsible for single-parent families in the American black community? Allegedly single-parent rates have skyrocketed since the Civil Rights Movement.

Chomsky:

Racism is quite extreme today, and by many measures increasing. I don’t know what cocoon you live in.
Perhaps you are completely unfamiliar with racism and its impact, in particular, the extreme racism experienced constantly by African-Americans. If so, I would suggest that you learn something about the world, and then you will understand the mechanisms very well. If you don’t want to have direct experience – which is not that hard –then at least look at the literature.
Again, try following your own logic. It’s not genes, so it is circumstances. Do you perceive any circumstances beyond the extreme white racism that it takes real effort to be oblivious to?

> He even hints at OP's "intentional ignorance" many times too.

Hinting at ignorance is not helpful unless you show a path away from ignorance. Saying that something is obvious or trivial (as Mathematicians say) is not helpful. If it is truly obvious, just provide evidence.

Now this is not to criticize Chomsky, he is still replying rather than remaining silent. And with his limited time, it doesn't necessarily make sense for him to give a solid argument in that case, but his argument in that link wasn't convincing.
The problem is that Docker is effectively an OS-level facility that platform vendors have already integrated into their stacks to prevent that from happening. If you use Docker and want support for production instances, you still pay Red Hat (or Microsoft, or AWS, or Google Cloud), because RHEL, Windows Server, GKE etc. include Docker containerization. I genuinely don't understand why you would try to load Docker Enterprise on top of an OS and rely on two different vendors working together.
Yeah, and if Facebook DOES infringe on a patent you own, and it's a valid case? You then have to rewrite your frontend code base as fast as you can?

At it's best this is like some sort of warped "you infringe on my patents and I'll infringe on yours" kind of thing, assuming MAD means it doesn't become a very-uneven suing war. This case is also bad news, because larger companies are much more capable of infringing on your patents and competing with smaller companies in a conglomerate style.

Amazon is a conglomerate. Alphabet/Google is a conglomerate. Somehow, everyone in the government who manages anti-trust (whether that should be a thing is another debate), seems to be asleep at the wheel, literally everyday.

Also, guess who has lots of resources to rebuild a shitty copy of ingenuous software they found online? Big corporations do. All the starry eyed CS grads who want to go work for Big Conglomerate Co. are going to be rearing to re-implement Redis in 50K LOC, but it's harder for some small company (or just random open source project) to re-build the parts of their app that used react in some other framework.
That's why I take care that my OS doesn't know I'm French. But it's a luxury that most French people can't afford and they have to live with bugs. Ex: Having both a "Download" and a "Téléchargement" folder, with "Download" being sometimes translated.
Can this problem easily be solved by avoiding to sue Facebook?

If I understand the issue correctly, there's a clause in their license that says the license is revoked if you sue them.

How risky is this for regular usage?

> This sounds highly troubling to me. Imagine being persecuted in your life because some ggggm whom you never knew about was an extremist (racist and what not - let your imagination run wild on how despicable that person was during their time). Your craving to learn about your family decades or centuries ago must not become an overriding factor for the entire society to abide by. The "right to be forgotten" [1], though not perfect, has a lot of value for humans.

That's a really great point. I wonder though - if the archive is this thorough and the attitude for which the relative is now being persecuted was widespread at the time, won't the archive be able to prove the counterpoint that the hypothetical ggggm was similar to most other people?

Fedora, better Ryzen support back in June.

No, it isn't. The U.S. Constitution as originally written specifically to limit federal power.

The 10th amendment says: "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

It wasn't not written to be a general-purpose commentary about what laws should be.

Remember, it was also written to allow people to be property. It also says that there is freedom of religion, but that was at the federal level. Some states had official state churches for a few decades more.

Hennepzaad – Past dit zaad in een gezond eetpatroon ook om af te vallen
I've found that the book medium invites for a lot of opinions from an author and usually selective references to prove some point. Sort of the same reason that when you read scientific papers, you don't want to just read those written by a single lab.

When I want to find out how something works I usually read a meta analysis or a review in a highly rated journal in the field. That way you get to see everyone's opinions and arguments on the subject. They are usually written to be more or less accessible for people not in the field.
RocksDB too.

That really makes it seem like Facebooks stance is: "As long as we have a few really huge projects that infiltrate most companies' codebases, our 'smaller' projects can drop the patent clause".

> I'm inclined to say you're mistaken. The FSF hasn't published an analysis of the React terms, but if they did, it seems pretty much assured that they'd deem it a "free software license, but incompatible with the GPL".

ASF's license limits it's scope. ASF software cannot carry dependencies on licenses that have wider scope than their license. In addition to the scope, the FB license is very one-sided.

As such, ASF decided to disallow FB licensed dependencies. One particular ASF project did not have an alternative, so they asked FB to re-license. FB agreed to do so.

Because it was easy, and because the positive talk surrounding FB's license seemed to intimate that FB's intention was the same as ASF's license intention, they requested FB to relicense react so that it too could be included as a dependency on ASF projects.

Faced with making a decision, FB determined that their licensing strategy associated with litigation was more important than their ability to be included in ASF projects.

A lot of eyes were watching the request, many hopeful that the FB decision would justify and clarify their interpretation of the FB license and it's intentions. FB disappointed them though, and basically said "bugger off if you don't like it. We'll lose people, but we don't think it will be that many."

Judging from this discussion - and the fact that HN is one of the most pro-react communities around - this decision will not play out kindly and could be the death-knell of react's position as a major force in UI development.

In case someone is looking for a way to run and deploy this to a public cloud (in my case Azure), there is an extant pull request here that will set up a dynamically resizable Swarm cluster:

https://github.com/get-faas/labs-azure-scaling-template/pull...

This allows the FaaS runtime to dynamically allocate more Swarm nodes based on CPU load (indirectly, using Azure VM scale sets).

I've been meaning to see how I could tie in Azure Container Instances to FaaS, but currently lack the time (and to do that it would need to cleanly separate the admin UI from function endpoints, something that wasn't implemented yet a few weeks ago).
> Terror in the name of any [group of millions] should be called out by name.

It doesn't seem right and I doubt it does anything but spread more hate around. If you're American (good odds, on this site) and a group of Americans do terrorist attacks in the name of America, we shouldn't blame "the Americans" but whatever subgroup actually agrees with doing this.

I am really sad to see that even on this site, where people generally try to be rational, my post was still downvoted so presumably people agree with spreading the hate.

For the record, I'm Dutch, have never gone beyond western Europe, am Christian by birth and atheist by choice... so none of the groups that would traditionally defend the Islam... other than that we are all human. People are taught values (in part) by their parents, possibly in the name of some religion, after which they often believe 'religiously' in those and identify as being of that religion. Attacking the religion is attacking them, whereas I'm sure >99% of them would never agree with this attack.

There is never an absolute and total freedom of speech. That is, there is always speech of the kind than a society cannot and must not tolerate.

Either a country accepts this within its legal framework and has e.g hate speech laws (e.g Germany) or it doesn't (e.g US), but in the latter case as being "outside" the law - and it must be met with force outside the law.

There are benefits and drawbacks to both models (which is why both exist). But at the end of the day there is little practical difference between "if you carry a nazi flag you'll go to jail" and "if you carry a nazi flag you'll be punched in the face".

In both cases open society is judging and delivering the sentence.

The notion that all speech must be accepted and never met with violent protest is both unrealistic and dangerous.

So to get back on topic: 1st amendment protects the open society but doesn't function without an open society. Violent protestors at rallies and tech companies gagging fascists is what it needs, and not a problem.

That's a narrow view. It comes down to conflict versus cooperation. Both exist in nature and both are beneficial. The trick is in maintaining a balance -- homeostasis -- between the two that promotes healthy growth at large and not just for one group or individual.

I used to use Debian unstable because it had all the packages regular Debian was missing, but it was a bit, well, unstable.

> if a project's license is radioactive

It's not a copyright license. It's a patent grant/license which is completely independent. This matters for several reasons, including when just saying "license", this usually means a copyright license.

If this patent grant get's revoked, you are back to simply using the BSD license with no patent grant. I've read so many people say "you'd have to stop using react if you sued facebook", uh, no, you'd have a bsd license with no patent grant like you probably do with tons of other free software your company uses. Clearly, people should be complaining about that if they are complaining about this, but the misunderstanding and misinformation is really strong. If you believe software patents are universally bad, like many people including me, then it is clearly better using the MIT/BSD license alone, which gives you zero patent rights, you are simply infringing and waiting to be sued. I have no problem with it. https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/software-patents.en.html.

In a hypothetical future, if Facebook were able to exploit its network effect to the point of having near-100% market share on all private communications, would you still defend their right under the constitution to police all private speech in America at their sole discretion?

That's the question that's being asked.

And you can say people can vote with their feet, but what about when "voting with your feet" means permanently and significantly extricating yourself from your family and friends?

> They're more than free to start their own google/fb/apple competitors and gain market share...but good luck with that.

That's exactly the point. Through network effects, these companies have achieved monopolistic market positions on how American citizens communicate with each other.

If we're going by spirit of the law (as we often do with the law out of necessity, especially as technology advances), then clearly the spirit of the first amendment did not intend to nullify itself in a hypothetical future where all communications were privately owned by a handful of corporations.

If the telecoms all decided to put in speech recognition software that automatically terminated phone calls when it detected negative sentiment toward a particular political group or initiative, would you defend that?
