I'll copy a recent comment I made on Reddit [0]:

Fiber is ultimately not about raw rendering speed. The initial improvement is about splitting up the rendering process into bite-size chunks so that the determination of what does need to change doesn't block the main thread. The rewrite of the internals also made the codebase more maintainable, and gave them a chance to implement often-requested features like returning strings or arrays from render(), as well as implementing error boundaries.

Beyond that, the React team is still experimenting with ideas to better understand what "async rendering" might actually mean, and how that might be useful. I know Andrew Clark showed off a strawman syntax called componentDidBlock that would allow a component to indicate it shouldn't render at all until a promise resolves. The "priority levels" aspect will also come into play later, so they can determine that updates from things like user input events ought to be processed first before updates from network requests.

It's more that Americans do not necessarily consider open criticism of government leaders and policy to be "disparaging our country". Many consider it unpatriotic to not voice such criticism if you honestly believe that something is wrong.

I think a huge pain point is timestamping notes. So you generally start a pentest and it would be helpful to add a timestamp at each place you take a note. If you could then export it as a timeline of when events occurred that'd be awesome. The reason why you want to see the timeline is so you can hand it to the blue team and be like this is when we were doing bad stuff.

> The best way to drive in the snow is to get out and do it

In Sweden, before you can get your driving license you have to take a course where you spend an hour on a skid pan, taking corners too fast and emergency braking (a "moose" shows up out of nowhere) so you know how it feels and what kinds of distances and reaction periods are involved.

Also in winter, snow tires are legally required between december and march (and this is enforced with random DUI-checkpoint-style stops)

Because colors with components that result in the same intensity will be identical. Think a shade of red and a shade of blue that wined up the same shad of gray. The fact that both were distinct colors is lost.

By limiting the transformed colors to those a person is blind to, you limit the amount of information loss.

I think the ideal place to tackle this issue is as near to the display as possible. A screen purpose-built for the color-blind would be best, but redshift-esque software would do the job just as well.

It's a mystery to me why people assume that California car companies don't test their cars in Tahoe, which has snow. Where we go skiing. Does Detroit not have areas within driving distance that have radically different climates? California does.

The article even says it: "But it won’t be Waymo’s first foray on dangerously snowy streets: the company has previously tested its vehicles in winter conditions outside Lake Tahoe."

Let me put it this way: I think it's arrogant that management consulting companies think they can send in a couple recent ivy league grads to learn about a company for a few weeks and then suggest a bunch of changes. This is like that, but without even bothering to go in and learn about the company at all.

They do not have editorial control. Do they have considerable indirect means to try to influence the media? Of course. But they hardly have a monopoly on that, which is the key point. When you say "the government controls the media" one has to assume you are saying editorial control, otherwise it's a rather meaningless statement (e.g. "advertisers control the media" or "owners control the media" or "PR firms control the media" etc.). And it certainly not the case that the government has editorial control over the media. If that were the case, would the NY Times have published the Snowden leaks?

Ah, I thought Detroit would be colder than that mid-winter.

As for traction on ice, if the vehicle is already on the ice, it’s too late to slow down. I wonder how the cars could know when they are coming up to ice. Humans can rarely know, but have some complicated ways of identifying, I think from glossiness? And ice is much more rare than snow/slush but both can be present side by side. Either way, I think they will figure it out. Sand can be awful to clean up in urban areas when too muh is used.
Those type of executives will be going to jail soon enough.

There is a theory, I think first proposed by Arthur Schlesinger Jr (who won two Pulitzer prizes, had an equally renowned father, and was one of Kennedy’s top advisors) that American history tends to move in 80 year cycles divided into two forty year periods or so. Every 40 years US society shifts from capitalism and individualism to community and strong federal government. Neither period is inherently bad, but it’s just that capitalism and democracy don’t coexist as much as rule independently, taking turns.

Schlesinger dated the capitalism period to 1980 starting with Ronald Reagan. That means it should end in 2020 or so.

For all the crimes that fall out of the statue of limitations, I can imagine, not necessarily in a good way and probably will be frowned upon by later historians, that McCarthy-style commissions will be set up and these executives blacklisted from business.

Microbrewing is very different than normal hot water brewing and steeping. Teforia also applies a pressure which has a different effect.

Not to say tea is hard to make but if you want that extra bit of flavor, the pressure driven microbrew really makes a difference.

There have been some very interesting comments made in these comments. Having used COBOL to write communications and networking programs, I found the version we used to be useful in the context of the work being done. I know of people who so hate the language that you could offer them $1,000,000 an hour to work on a project and they would refuse. Others would just as happily take up the offer.

What I do find interesting is the attitude of some who classify COBOL as ancient (etc) and have not yet realised that there are a number of major modern languages that are the spiritual descendants of COBOL. These being ADA, Java, C#, C++ and the rest of their ilk.

They each have a place to play in the computing world, but they each are the wrong language for many purposes. Too oft I find, many programmers know one or two languages and they are the worse off for that. Different languages give different insights into specific problem domains. Every language allows some things to be done easily and other things to be done hard.

Decades ago now, as CompSci undergraduates, we were expected to learn (or at least use) every available language, from Fortran to COBOL, Algol 60 to Lisp, assembler to Simula, Snobol to Pascal, Basic to Algol 68, etc., etc., etc.

These days, undergraduates seem to be taught one or two languages and that's it. It shows up in their later inability to solve certain kinds of problems in a problem space specific way.

Which is why I personally find a few topics of interest to me, and work on them till I can boil them down into a few lines and share them with friends.

That’s what I can do easily, and that’s my ability and time others can leverage.

As the other poster said - not having enough time in this day and age is not a barrier.

You don’t have to do everything in one day, and often many of these topic are just interesting on their own.

It’s doable by your lonesome. But with the internet it’s quite easy to find others who’ve done a lot of the searching or other heavy lifting for you.
Keep in mind this requires a smartphone. Some seniors don't have them. They may not even have dumb cell phones. Some don't use computers at all. Some are using the old CRT TV they bought ten years ago because it still works fine.

There's a point where your life works fine and you don't particularly need to change it or learn radically new things unless you have no other option at all. In some ways, the old actions have their own benefits. The senior goes to cash her paper check at the bank because it gets her out of the house and in front of people; she saves the money on a cell phone that she doesn't use much because she stays home more than travels at her age.

Even with computers...she doesn't feel helpless or at the mercy of technology she doesn't understand. She might even reduce her vulnerability some that way; a little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

The rules for driving in snow are pretty simple. Go slow, pump the brakes, give a bigger safety cushion for obstacles.

The problem is likely around vision. A lot of winter driving is done at an unsafe level of visibility.

It is probably better having non static rules for roads. Snow should reduce speed limits, and white out conditions should be used for emergency travel only.

Unless you can utilize radar to obtain better visibility than human drivers, in which case you could probably drastically reduce the number of winter accidents.
Realizing that other people aren't way more intelligent than me and i'm stupid. It's just a perception based on nothing more then them acting more confidently, because they had an upbringing that gave them more self esteem. When the time came to perform I always exceeded the expectations of those around me because I always beat myself up and told myself I was stupid and not good enough. The insecurity pushed me to always try harder but in the end I was better than I realized. I just one day had to let it go and realize those thoughts of not being good enough weren't real.

Another thing is stopping relationships with people that would belittle, insult or use me. I instead paid close attention to who was there for me and built me up. I gave those people 5x the attention and built a stronger relationship with them because thats who you want in your life. Quality friends > Quantity. If someone keeps blowing you off you aren't a priority in their life, and you should treat them the same.

Oo last one.

Ask that cute girl out, if you're reading this, I know you are more than good enough.
The answer is no, but the sad part is, there's no real reason why not.

An FPGA isn't really a "gate array," but a huge ensemble of small lookup tables that are made with what amounts to very fast static RAM. If major FPGA manufacturers didn't guard their bitfile formats with their lives, it's possible that entirely new fields of research would have emerged to find new ways to take advantage of the existing hardware in these chips, much like what GPGPU researchers have done with graphics cards.
Yup. I think one big issue is that a E2E or an integration test is useful on its own, while a single unit test is almost totally worthless. You don't have confidence of anything until at least 50% (and at 80% you have almost perfect confidence).

So when people get started, especially on an old code base, they feel its pointless and doesn't pay off. Can't blame them, I suppose.

Good that you bring up build time. I forgot to mention that. We have repos with thousands of tests where the whole suite runs in <1 minute and gives us very high confidence (actually the only other tests we run on that repo are visual regression tests for CSS, and even E2E tests don't catch those issues...). During that time I'm watching other teams waiting 20 minutes on their integration test suite. Nope nope nope.

1. Mentors should be people much older than you. There generational knowledge, much of which has been lost, is a value unmeasurable and you will not find on the internet or in almost any book still in print. This also means they are retired, their kids have gone to college, etc. and this they have more time.

2. If you work for a big large company that’s been around for a while, find one of the old-timers. Someone who started in 1990 or earlier. What are the fads they’ve seen? What trends have turned out to be pure intellectual charlantry? Who really turned out to be a success?

3. If you don’t, consider looking at something SCORE, a program with a good reputation specifically set up for mentors.

4. Being a mentor and having a mentee is such a deeply rewarding experience you’re almost doing them a favor, at the very least the exchange is 50-50. Keep this in mind.
I agree with you for content sites or primarily consumption driven apps but I haven't written one of those in 8 years. I'm currently working on an application that we are having to purposefully keep features out of, not because they are slowing the page down, or increasing TTI, but because we risk offending our business partners by building a one for one replacement of their multi-thousand dollar per seat desktop software. There's just no getting around the MB of JavaScript we need for this app. And for this type of application, we are much more concerned about the speed of individual actions on the page than page load. The site still loads faster than the desktop application opens.
> Can you fault him for that?

Yes; while the attitude is extremely common, and not just when it comes to nations, it's an attitude that serves as a powerful enabler of evil in every context in which it is found, whether national, family, corporate, partisan, religious, or otherwise, and it should emphatically be condemned every time it rears its ugly head.

> Perhaps it is the American standard that is wrong.

Americans are no less prone to this than others.
I have a mentor. We met through a talk he gave at my church. He's got a lot of altitude with me. Sometimes when I'm not sure I will talk to him and it helps me to pick the course of action and to be sure about it. He also pushes me and ask me questions that help me to confront areas of my life that I would normally shy away from. We make a good team and I'm happy I found him. I help others to pay it back.

He is older than me. In fact, he recently retired. This adds to the altitude.

Plus he is extremely knowledgeable and capable and an amazing public speaker. And really fun too! One of the things I've learned from him it's how to enjoy life more. Very valuable!
That's how I heard of them referred to since at least the early 90's, as processor-in-memory. I didn't know memristor was referring to the same concept.
> Democracy is supposed to be more involved then showing up every 4-5 years.

Representative democracy is just oligarchy of a political class.

Classic Athenian democracy had been based on taking most of decision by direct vote of 30-40 thousand (and sometimes 100 thousand) citizens. That had been impractical for administering larger states hence only cities could have been republic in Greek world and later in Middle Ages.

Luckily in XXI century we have the tools that could enable return to direct democracy for larger organism.
>What I absolutely love is the freedom to be independent. As an independent voter, I can vote in the primary for any of the political parties, as long as I only vote once. I don't need to pre-register for that party to be eligible.

This was added last year and there hasn't been a presidential primary where this has happened yet. The republican party might even skip the caucus/primary again and appoint their own candidate.
This tells more about the journalists than Facebook. Facebook has always been the same. It's journalists who sold their soul so that they can make money.

Furthermore, it's funny hearing this hypocrisy coming from journalists, since they are the ones who are throwing away their "journalistic integrity" to make money. It's impossible to come across a mainstream publication with unbiased point of view nowadays.

They have to write polarizing articles to gain more eyeballs since otherwise no one will have enough attention to read their articles. They should realize there's a bigger opportunity here but instead all they're focused on is short therm revenue and complaining about how Facebook (who focuses obsessively on long term value) is being unfair.

- Handles small numbers of candidates correctly.

- Agrees with the table on Wikipedia [1], and with the 1/e limit.

- Calculates hiring frequency for all candidates, not just the best one.

The same way Lisp is a functional language. It has to do with how both languages are built from only a few basic primitives, and how both are based on Lambda calculus.

You say "overly babysitting", but which part of pushing the "170F" button on the $50 temperature controlled electric kettle with easy single-press presets and then twisting an egg timer is so hard that it needs another $950 and then special multi-dollar packets and, omfg, internet access to a cloud service?
