In part, it is because of a Rust component. A new CSS engine, Stylo, is shipping with 57 and that brought a noticeable performance improvement. In the foreseeable future there will also be WebRender, which should give an even bigger improvement, but that wasn't ready for 57.

Another big part is that they recently switched Firefox over to a multiprocess architecture (Firefox 48) and these performance improvements are now mostly optimizations that are now possible due to this architecture. Basically offloading all kinds of slower operations into a background thread. The optimizations are all over the place, mostly of smaller nature, but taken together they make a big difference.

And a third point is the new UI. It is partially really just more efficient, partially uses animations and such to trick your brain into thinking that things are faster, and then it also now has "tab warm-up", which basically means that when you hover with your mouse over a tab, it already starts loading in that tab, so that it's instantly there when you click.

I wouldn't say it's more for logging, it's most likely for analytics purposes. A/B tests, funnels (how many people who install the app launch it, how many create an account, how many swipe right, how many swipe right a bunch, how many write a message, how many write a bunch of messages, how many buy the subscription, what page did they click it off of, how 'attractive' (some arbitrary number based on how many swipe rights, possibly) was the person they decided to buy the subscription for, etc.

Note, most sites that do analytics don't really care about who you are, individually, as a person, just how can they categorize you and your activities so they can generalize it and find ways to "improve the user experience" (read: improve how many users spend mucho dinero on our services).

And it's gotten to the point that they're never satisfied and want as much data as they can get away with so they can analyze it from a billion angles and tell the developers to change everything about the app every other week in the chase for better numbers.

It never even occurred to me to look up 99% of the useless facts I now can't help but look up on the Internet. The questions slipped out of my mind before they were fully formed, but now I think "who was that one guy in that one show?" and because I know I can find out in 30 seconds or less, I look it up.

This ability adds almost no actual value to my life, while taking time. But each individual thing is so quick to find.

It's also much easier to get lost trying to find the very best resource(s) for something, wasting time on that rather than digging into what's at hand. Because it's possible to refine one's selection now, it's so tempting to do so, even if a few hours' head start on lesser works would have been a better use of time. The same extends to entertainment.

What's lost is peace of mind, focus, serendipity, and contentment. I'm not sure the benefit's really been worth it, for me. Libraries were actually a pretty good solution for finding useful-enough information, fast enough, in most cases. How much would I pay for a mini-OED-style IMDB? TVtropes? Zero dollars, probably. I might not even keep them around if I received them for free. Not worth the fraction of a cubic foot each takes up. But I've got this Internet connection and all these devices anyway, so....

[EDIT] OECD corrected to OED. I've clearly wasted too much time arguing politics on the Internet.

The core problem is ambiguity, and so any step towards reducing it is good.
Basically I have a dataset and I train my model with 70% and then evaluate its guesses against the remaining 30%. Hence a baseline is created and I can see if my model performs better.

It took some doing to get this model to perform well. I did this by adding features that help recognize patterns in the time series data.

The features I created are not specific to QM as they are technical (eg. numbers, not news), and time-series related. So the models should work with any historical dataset with the same fields.

My goal is to add another future at some point.

Possibly the emails contain information that could harm a third party? In that case they would maybe have an incentive to investigate and be sure that the information was destroyed.
Actually that would put the onus on the sender to include extra pieces of data, and the exchanges would have to deal with errors from people who send without the hash.

So I'm pretty certain even if it were supported, individual addresses would still be the better choice due to ease of use.
I haven't seen any evidence of mass intention to defraud. Are you just speculating or is there some evidence you can link me to?

If someone intends to run away with the cryptocurrency, they've already decided to break the law, with or without regulations. So I don't think adding regulations will dissuade them. I think instead of putting up some kind blanket barrier to entry, which ultimately centralizes an industry, a better track would be to put more resources into enforcing basic fraud laws, to deter would be criminals. Criminals have been putting ads to phishing sites mimicking www.myetherwallet.com on Google for two years. Surely these people can be tracked down.
Can you explain how you came up with these numbers? Intuitively I have always thought they were low, due to the small incidence of terrorist attacks, but I am curious to where you come up with your base numbers.
Thank you FB React team. Along with the new license I can't be happier to see your good work and improvements on React.

Before the license change I was looking around for other options, but now I can continue to enjoy front-end development with this awesome library for at least a few years more. For me this definitely helps fighting JS fatigue not having to change to another framework.
I don't meditate traditionally, but I think that motorcycle riding has a meditative effect; it draws my mind squarely into the present moment, giving me something intense enough to focus on that the noise around the edges of my brain just has to shut up for a while. It's a whole-body experience, too, especially when the road has some twists in it. I feel like I function better as a human being, generally, when I am using a motorcycle as my normal form of transportation.

Downhill skiing, bouldering, and sea kayaking are other activities which have offered enough of a rush to draw my enthusiastic participation, but which, once I'm in them, have tended to produce a calm, clear, present-focused mental state. I suppose that adrenaline functions as a pretty powerful "BE HERE NOW" signal.

Also, I've had experiences which felt like meditation in conjunction with psychedelics. At a campout last spring I remember spending most of an hour giggling to myself as I attempted to clear my mind of all words... I was just sitting there looking at the moon, "shoosh"ing my brain whenever words popped up, trying to just be in the moment, and see what "wordless thoughts" might feel like.

> most bikers observe the traffic laws

Why the fixation with traffic laws whenever bikes come up?

I bike to work and I don't follow the rules, I run reds, blow stop signs, ride on the sidewalks and so on.

However, I am courteous and polite to everyone. My goal is to not startle or inconvenience any other user of the road (or sidewalk).

Why should I stop at stop signs like a boyscout? That's just false piety.

The rules don't keep us safe, because the rules weren't designed in a perfect world.

What would help is if everyone just paid attention-texting while driving creates a huge hazard.
It's optional, and also not optional. Nobody is using React without JSX in practice, because it's ugly and verbose.

No i was only arguing it's not as easy as you think. Just like your solution you suggested can easily be hacked, any technological solution a human being comes up with is vulnerable to hacks.

The only thing I was criticizing was you seem to think it's easy to simply create a secure system. It's not. That's why there are tons of smart people in security but hacks still happen.

Fair enough, a big component of the quality of a fact is how much context and related facts are bundled with it. A book in a library is one extreme, browsing Reddit r/popular is the other extreme. Perhaps the cost per-fact is similar, and what's different is the cost per context-switch.

Vue is as easy to learn as Angular was. Saying that Vue is less complex - this line gets thrown around as if anyone would easily agree. It is a traditional templating framework, it ships its own javascript emulator and scripting engine, you re-learn everything. Composition is not natural to it. Every single structure is arbitrary. It has an API documentation that spans 70 pages. The cognitive overhead is large.

If you know plain javascript you know half of what makes react. The API surface usually consists of a single function: render. The rest are 3-4 class lifecycles, setState, a few jsx semantics and that's it. You solve problems in the same way you always solved them, there is nothing to re-learn and you don't bend to the framework.

Go ahead and re-create this in Vue, tell me what you're doing is easier:

import timestamp from 'time-stamp'

const Header = props => <h1>{props.text}</h1>

const Main = () => <Header text={timestamp()} />

ReactDom.render(<Main />, document.querySelector('#app'))

A beginner could blink at this once and start making simple apps blindfolded. A Vue beginner would be stuck even trying to create components, not to mention compose them, or pass props, or access the import. Every single step on top of this has to be fished out of the documentation: children, conditions, loops, filters, etc.

I don't understand your baseline.

Never hurts to give it a try again! Three months ago, .NET Core 2.0 hadn't actually shipped yet. Although it was certainly possible to write these sorts of things on .NET Core 1.0, there was a significant lack of APIs which prevented many people from using .NET Core. Now that 2.0 has been released, I figured it was as good a time as any to push the use of F# for web services.

I'll also be posting next month about using Fable to write "full stack" F# with .NET Core (Fable compiling to JS, F# with the Suave library on the backend). It'll be a bit more involved (docker, deploying to Azure, etc.), so I hope that it's useful to folks. Perhaps after that's posted, you'd be interested in giving it another go?
Small nitpick: the reduced file size appears to be, in part, due to depending on Map and Set. Polyfilling these will, in turn, increase file size so there's no real file size impact in practice. IMO the blog post could've been more honest about that.

Fantastic release nevertheless!
The portal API sounds great for modals and dropdowns. It looks like a good fit for react-float-anchor[0] (used by the more interesting to look at react-menu-list[1]). I'm currently abusing `componentWillReceiveProps` to get portal-like behavior, but it means that test code has to do react-float-anchor -specific things in certain situations to see elements rendered in it.

This is great. My only two issues with Rancher were related to the UI (it was a bit clunky) and Kubernetes being a second class citizen so it's good to see that these are the issues which were addressed in this release. I look forward to upgrading.
He's saying after the 90 days is up, you'll still be vulnerable (because your SSN/DOB won't change). Better to just freeze indefinitely and lift when necessary unless you know you're going to be opening a new account soon.

Great question. It applies to the variant of the spec as it exists today when the license was applied. Currently found at http://facebook.github.io/graphql/draft/

GraphQL's reference implementation (GraphQL.js) intends on not just being a great implementation, but also very closely following the spec, so you're in good shape.

Also, GraphQL.js has had a BSD3+PATENTS license until today, which meant you've always had that patent license. Later today I'll be releasing a version of GraphQL.js that is MIT license instead, understanding that the OWFa1.0 applies to all implementations including the reference implementation.

This will not work while the cost of identifying and stopping bad ads is higher than that of creating new ads. The same reason robocalls and Nigerian email scams still exist.

Google is in the best position to stop it, albeit with the spectre of a chilling effect. However even if Google completely cleaned house the bad ads would still exist because there are ad networks other than Google.

I would suggesting holding website owners liable for the ads that appear on their sites. It makes it easier to identify who needs to be sued. The buck stops at the name in the URL bar.

To what problem?

To block ads offering something that is illegal? Illegal based on what laws?

To block ads based on offering something that is immoral? Even more subjective.

To block ads on offering something harmful? Still subjective, and it brings up other questions about things that are moral, legal, but harmful being blocked. Take a country which is running an add campaign to encourage its citizens to have more kids. Pregnancy is harmful to the body, so should such adds be blocked?

To block ads that not blocking will result in outrage (internet only or not) that costs more in value than the ads bring in? That's a pretty hard problem to create a general solution, and even attempting to could be an issue because it can be interpreted to mean that they are more focused on making money that stopping illegal, immoral, or harmful things. I mean, I think they are more concerned with money making, but that is just one of those things one doesn't freely admit regardless of how true it may be.
