Well I'm sure there will be continuous improvement, but it'll be a case of shaving off miliseconds I think.

The current crop of athletes have already essentially devoted their entire lives to eating/training etc just right so I think any further advances will be marginal. These aren't enthusiasts doing stuff on weekends anymore - they've got state level backing and large scale selection from a young age (see China).

(Above excludes possibility of genetic engineering obv).
Are Nazism and fascism really right-wing?
Does it make that much of a difference? My applications are still on 1.x, I did migrate my components to hybrid though.
One other interesting libraries to look at are svelte or skatejs - haven't used them personally yet.
TIL that Noam Chomsky answers emails. It's always been my thing to reach out to personal heroes of mine. What's the best way to reach out to him?
We'll part of it is that what doping really let's you do is recover fast and thus train more. So in a lot of contexts it just reveals the limits of training more than the physical limits.
As in it leaves out any bad parts?
This^, plus, you shouldn't really have "null" or "undefined" variables which you treat as bool (if you do, then that's a bug)
>It's not any easier if you understand what !! does

which only applies if you're writing code for yourself. you can't expect everyone to know that idiom. same with using the + operator to cast to number, or an extreme case, the tadpole operator https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20150525-00/?p=...
it's just plain for(x in list){ .. }

v-for="item in list"

if you need idx:

v-for="(item, i) in list"

pretty standard stuffs
Xamarin is given as an example of a better alternative why exactly? You develop a single layout in React Native, while in Xamarin you just share the C# code, so separate platforms need separate UI code (unless you want to rely on their weak Xamarin.Forms API), and at that point you can just write common code in C or C++ and not rely on any third party. It's hardly comparable.
Interesting move given the hostile AZ political climate.
Hi!

My name is Igor Kroitor, I am a member of the team behind the ccxt library. Just noticed this thread and wanted to thank you for your interest in our work.

For those who don't know anything about it, ccxt is a cryptocurrency exchange trading library that provides quick access to market data for storage, analysis, visualization, indicator development, algorithmic trading, strategy backtesting, bot programming, webshop integration and related software engineering. It is intended to be used by coders, developers and financial analysts to build trading algorithms on top of it.

We started it this summer, and we are making consistent progress. We now have 70+ exchanges supported in 3 languages (JavaScript, Python and PHP), more to come! Our goal is to unify the industry standard for cryptocurrency exchange APIs.

For now the library unifies exchanges' REST interfaces. It is async in JS, sync in Python and PHP. Our biggest milestones so far:

- Async/await support with asyncio in Python3. We're almost there, hope to deliver very soon.

- Unified streaming APIs with WebSocket pub/sub interfaces for all exchanges. This is also a work in progress to be released in near future.

I'll hang here, ready to answer your questions, if any ) Your feedback and critique is welcome!
apology excepted
i think we all learned that a huge company backing has no bearing to the success of the project.

just ask any ex-angular devs.
I've always sort of thought about it as you get older and learn more about things you're interested in you lose the ability to misunderstand something and possibly come across something novel. Creativity becomes less of a coping mechanism as you begin to refine your mastery of your interests and have fewer chances of a misinterpretation taking you down a road of creative explosion.

Which is why I find it important to try and learn new things and find new interests when you can. But even then, "creativity" so often results in a dead end since the chance of discovering something new, effective and possibly better is slim in the first place. But hopefully experience helps in sussing out obvious bad ideas - like not eating vegetables to grow young again.
WAL-G looks like it should be able to talk to Minio (minio.io, S3 compatible thing, also written in go) as a backend instead of S3 itself.

Minio has an interesting feature where it can be a "gateway" to other cloud storage. Google Cloud Storage is one of their specific examples:

https://docs.minio.io/docs/minio-gateway-for-gcs

So WAL-G would talk to Minio, and Minio would transparently proxy that to GCS.
Proof of stake incentivizes low velocity of money - you have to stake to not have your funds diluted. This seems like the opposite of what the digital aspect of cryptocurrency should be bringing to the table.
Not by default as far as I know. There's more info here, it's doable but not pretty.

Even easier to use Ensure - just drink from the bottle and throw it away.
I think people should be paying more attention to the core concept of React Native, which is having a view layer that is completely native and a bridge that connects to a javascript engine. People bitch about electron which is essentially a browser in an app window (React Native is NOT that), the concepts of React Native solves a lot of the performance problems of Electron, which I think the electron team should seriously consider implementing.
Agreed, but you can't anticipate what another dev could write :)

Or if you pass down that `isConnected` down to a library where for some reason they assumed `null` should default to `true`

Of course it's very unlikely, but my point is you can't know all use cases of `this.state.isConnected` in advance on a large project so as you say it doesn't hurt to sanitize the input.
Want to see something like this for (Apple's) App Store. Downloads are fast, but the App Store experience itself is so, so slow. Takes maybe five seconds to load search results or reviews even on a wi-fi connection.
> Even the combination of an elite runner and anabolic steroids, though, was not enough to outcompete a genetic outlier.

This ignores the (very likely) possibility that Bolt is also doping, albeit with today's designer drugs and not anabolic steroids. When testing catches up to today's drugs, we will look back at Bolt differently. He is definitely a "genetic freak" as they say, but there's more to it than that.
It is a list of the various accounts I have that would need action. Mostly, I instruct her to decide for herself what she wants to do with my web sites and email addresses, but I give her enough info to gain access to it all, and recommend which accounts should be switched to her credit card instead of mine (Netflix, for example.) It doesn't list everything -- this HN account for example, is not mentioned, and would just go silent.

I also list out who needs to be informed -- who to contact directly by phone, who to email.

It isn't intended to be a will - it is more a list of the little details of my life that are not part of our shared existence, that would probably be forgotten in the turmoil, so I thought of them ahead of time.

I look at it a few times a year and keep it up to date. And I hope it is a wasted effort.
How did Chomsky respond to these developments? Did he downplay them or encourage Maduro's authoritarian reaction to the protest?
But, if you read the comments in the rules, it's not clear this play would constitute abandonment. Not clear it wouldn't either but you can find umpires on discussion boards who take the side that it's a legal play.
way simpler. it's just Redux down to it's core minimum, which is really just an abstraction layer to setting variables.
Same for swimming. Champion high school girls now routinely break the men's world records set decades ago.

I don't remember clicking a newyorker.com link until now, but apparently at some point I reached some limit.

Is it just me, or does this sort of article limit behavior train you to simply not click those links, knowing you won't be able to read them?
I agree with this. If we're talking about the same thing, many of these are "Machine learning for hackers" type articles and only give a superficial exposure of machine learning with the implicit promise of quick and easy mastery. The problem is, there's really only one way to master this stuff and it's to open up a textbook and study hard. You really need to get a rigorous treatment of the theory to understand machine learning.
Got to the section on Javascript and could no longer take the author seriously.
What's not to understand? If Facebook infringes on one of your software patents your choices are to rewrite your existing React code and sue them for damages or ignore it.

Once your 'professional lawyer' agrees that the license is enforceable it's up to you to decide whether giving Facebook an effective grant of all your patents it worth it.
I haven't used either extensively so take it with a grain of salt, but my anecdotal experience is that Polymer v1 at release vs. Polymer v2 in the latest Chrome is a massive world of difference.

I also think v2's switch to ES2015 classes instead of v1's prototypal inheritance is much better and cleaner, but that's more of a product of Web Components v0 vs. v1. :)
I'm guessing this offer is going to be extremely popular. The second you leave the bay area, it's like getting a million dollar signing bonus for a place to live.

I'm a little surprised more workers aren't leaving SF and the bay area peninsula. Even if you take 50% pay cut, your still getting paid a lot more, relative to you cost of living. I'm guessing the reason is: us engineers have a hard time understanding and thinking about compensation in terms of living costs, hence only the absolute $ value of a salary is taken into account.

Also, I think a lot of people don't want to move away from friends and family.
my sense of burnout (having been through it myself and watched closely about 10-12 people go through it) is that it's caused when there's a huge mismatch between an expected reward and a large amount of effort expended prior to the reward.

What was the event that caused you to burn out in the first place? It looks like you expected at least social (if not material) recognition for some herculean effort that you went through - it failed to arrive when you cliffed out, and you're not obtaining that due to the circumstances in the meantime?

If I'm right (I may not be). My suggestion would be to make sure you're on teams or a project where there is a direct relationship between effort and reward, or where you can work on small projects that don't come with a 'big payoff' but can rebuild your confidence that you can provide value to your org. You should also try to be under a manager that is good at recognizing (verbally if not anything else) your achievements.

If you don't think you can find that easily, take some time off and go drive for lyft. (Don't expect to make too much money off if it, so only plan to do it for a short bit). There's a direct relationship between effort and reward in that industry.
No probably not, but the overwhelming majority of developed world populations (USA leading in particular) are getting far less athletic and far more obese, which is certainly a limit on athletic performance.
I see it as being more along the lines of there have been entire books written on the subject by people with more expertise than me that can cover the matter in far greater detail than a mere email. If the questioner is truly curious, then he has a resource to indulge his curiousity. If the questioner is acting in bad faith, then all of the information in the world isn't going to change his mind.
Wasting space is a byproduct of having too much space. Just because it's bloated does not mean they didn't know it was bloated. They probably didn't care.

As time goes by, minimum hardware requirements for operating systems increase. This isn't because it is more difficult to write software, or the hardware stopped being capable of doing the same thing it used to do. It's because software design wastes more resources as those resources become increasingly available.

Today, people ship statically compiled binaries of tens to hundreds of megabytes in size because it is convenient to do so. That would have been absolutely insane before increased bandwidth and storage space made it practical. I have an internet connection so fast my wifi card can't use all the bandwidth.

What a time to be alive.
>However, you need to be able to fly supersonic over land.

that current restriction of supersonic overland looks to me the same as that 4 miles per hour restriction on the car speed during the second half of the 19th century in England. Had all the good sounding reasons too ... (note: i grew up in USSR at a navy base and supersonic booms were just a fun part of my childhood, so i don't share that animosity toward the boom :)
Openshift doesn't need docker though; it's an implementation detail. You see Dockerfiles, but you don't see docker itself.
I'm not a libertarian anymore, but I still don't really buy into this criticism, for a few reasons.

Taxes are a legal obligation. If taxes aren't high enough, it's the government's job to fix that. Paying more taxes than you are legally obligated to pay is a disservice to shareholders, which in the case of a YC company includes almost all of your investors and employees.

Corporate taxes in particular are economically inefficient. Corporations are just straw men. Any money that a corporation earns is either paid out as dividends (at which point it's taxable as individual income) or reinvested into growing the company (at which point it turns into things like "salary", which is taxable as individual income).

The US in particular has exceptionally high corporate tax rates--among the highest in the developed world. And if you're going to choose a tax to avoid paying, US federal corporate tax is pretty much an ideal choice. Very little of that money goes to things like schools (which are paid for on the local and state level) or Medicare (which is paid for with payroll taxes). The biggest chunk of it pays for the US military, and a huge chunk of US military spending is pork for defense contractors.

In other words, US federal corporate taxes are largely a mechanism to redistribute money from corporations like Dropbox towards corporations like Blackwater and Lockheed Martin. And you think it's nice and decent of Dropbox to play along with this scheme?

When i move to RN, Swift 3 is very slow on build time. Xamarin not support instant run. So i move to rn, although it feel not complete product
I'm not quite sure what exactly the author's point is.

Yes, you could embed images in ELFs, too, if you really wanted, but why? There's no standardized way to do it, and putting the images in separate files is easier.
You can use sodium hydroxyde as an echtant. It doesn't turn everything it touches into stickiness like cola does.

Show HN: DIY Intercom Replacement for React Apps
Oh, yeah. Health issues. For me, it got to the point where every morning I would wake up and vomit. It got to be part of my morning routine to just get it over with before heading straight to work. Otherwise it might happen in the car.

I think the apathy that accompanies depression and burnout is your body's way of telling you: "your current set of goals and priorities is really, REALLY not working for me, and you need to change something". What leads to burnout is ignoring these increasingly desperate signals from your body and brain.
Just so I understand, as I've never really mulled on how software patents mix with open source licenses, when you say "you'd have a bsd license with no patent grant", who are you waiting to be sued by? Facebook and/or others? Could you theoretically release an open source project under something like BSD that infringes on a patent you hold and then sue someone for patent infringement that uses your project?

I suppose mainly what I'm asking is that by having this patents clause, is Facebook asserting that some or all contents of react are patented by Facebook? Would they be able to sue you for using react if you did something to get your patent grant revoked?
To tell the truth I would be so much happier taking 3 days to cross the Atlantic on an airship with a cabin and a bar.
As I understand, their "machine learning" grep "stuff in arabic"| send to people in places like Tunis, Albania and Morocco (true, both Google and Facebook run their "AI flagging" shops there, blogs giving account of that are well known)
I personally view Soylant in the same way I do infant formula. It has changed drastically since it was first introduced as we learn more and more about what is in actual breastmilk and why it matters for development. Similarly there are probably many other components in whole foods that are important that we may not even quantify yet. Not to mention the importance of actualy chewing food so that the enzymes from saliva accompany the meal and assist in breaking down various components.

Imagine what Soylant would have looked like 50 years ago and how much it would have been missing. Now imagine how in 50 years we will learn just as much if not more and look back at our crude attempts in the same vain.
Ubuntu the community is very big and supportive, if I have an issue an answer is usually just a Google search or two away. On other distros, that is not always the case.

Yeah New Zealand is a fantastic country for raising a family... but I'm biased as someone who grew up there.

Having said that I personally think it is a low horizon trap for many entrepreneurs which is why I left.

In NZ there is a saying along the lines of, "entrepreneurs don't go further than the 3 B's: the Batch, the Beamer, and the Boat."
When someone characterizes someone else as being "driven by money", I think that in their mind they are seeing the other person as being interested in nothing but having as much money as possible for no apparent reason.

But to me and I think probably to most people who have an interest in creating a successful product or service, we the hackers and the makers don't want money just because we want money. We also don't want the money just so that we can have a private jet, ridiculously big mansion or other forms of luxury.

No doubt I would afford myself a higher living standard and some luxury on top if I had a lot of money but it's not my primary motivation, and again I think this is true of most of those who wish to create something.

I want my product to succeed because I believe in it. I believe that I can bring value to my customers. I believe that my solutions have properties that the products of my competitors don't. I believe that I can improve the lives of others, even if not in drastically new ways.

Now since I believe this it only makes sense that I want "unlimited" funds (i.e. there is no upper bound to the amount of money I would like for my business to have), so that I can grow a business that can reach as many people as possible and produce as many products as possible. I need money so that I can hire people, good people. I need money for everything that my business needs to do because without money I can't do it.
Not really. More and more people know how to avoid getting fat, thanks to the internet. I'm 21 years old in a western European country and barely anyone my age is overweight, and a sizable minority even has a professional athletes body from working out.
What the OP described is removing talented people from the labor pool and directing them towards efforts which have no expected application in the market. I'm not suggesting it's the individuals who choose this arrangement who are losing out, it's society at large.
Mathematica has several representations for the code the main one is the inputForm, the thing that users type in, and there is a fullForm which is the full ast, and there is a way to manipulate it to create new functions on the fly (or really any other objects, like graphic or sound, since everything in Mathematica is represented in a uniform way)

For instance if in input form you have {1 + 1, 2 *3 }, in fullForm this becomes List[Plus[1,1], Times[2, 3]], which is the readable version of lisp and internally represented the same way [List [Plus 1 1] [Times 2 3]].

The fullForm is accessible from the language, and can be manipulated using standard language feature, kind of like eval but better.

It would be really cool to have something like this in javascript, but unfortunately looks like javascript tools tend to create nonuniform ast, that is hard to traverse and manipulate
My opinion on why this could now become a practical problem for people who still want to continue with React:

1) This will deter people and organizations from using such libraries. For example :- WordPress.com and many other companies have said that they will no longer use React.

2) Lower usage and application of such libraries means that lesser people will find bugs in them, lesser people will fork these libraries, lesser people will contribute to these libraries.

3) Facebook may itself lose interest in continuing to open source the library. Or add any new features to the open source version.

4) People may get stuck with bugs in such libraries and with no functionality being added to such libraries for years.
I wouldn't quite go that far.

In 1936, Jesse Owens won the Olympics with a 10.3. Athletic.net[1] (which is not perfectly complete but close enough for reference) shows 33 high schoolers who ran 10.39 or better in 2017. So yes some are faster, but that's almost zero and 80 years later. None of these high schoolers have matched the 9.55 at the 1968 Olympics.

NaN !== NaN is not a JavaScript thing, it's a IEEE754 standard thing.

The bulk of the gripes about JavaScript are entirely fair, but I'd think that most people who use React Native would be aware of them already?
The unsuspecting investors. Crypto scammers are now targeting retirees, for example. e-Toro have ads on the tube. I think it's actually unethical to be marketing cryptos to the general public.
I had just finished the writing exams after my two years of preparatory class (a specific program we have in France to join the best business and engineering schools). During the 2 weeks of exams, I was sleeping 3 hours a night on average.

When I woke up one morning, everything seemed really blurred. I could not precisely get where I was in the room and, when I tried to talk to my parents, they seemed really far away. I was also deeply tired and just wanted to sleep.

After 2 scary days like this, we went to a neurologist. He looked at me and asked my parents to leave the room. Looking at me, he told me: "I know you take hard drugs. Tell me anything about it so I can help you". I have never taken any drug. When he realized this, he did a lot of tests but found nothing. He just asked me to rest.

After 2 long weeks, I slowly got better and finally fully recovered. The neurologist told us it was probably some kind of burnout. It happened 2 other times few years after but it was less intense and I am now able to feel more precisely when I work too hard or sleep too little and that there are some risks.
what? vue does all that. i don't think the op tried vue at all, lol.
> Does anyone seriously doubt FB's commitment to RN? When they themselves dogfood it?

After the shutdown of Parse, I don't see how anyone could avoid having doubt about Facebook's commitment to React Native, or to anything else outside of their core business.
