typo in the title - its Abramov not Ambramov

It's interesting that Lin Clark basically demoed Time Slicing a -year- ago at ReactConf: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCuYPiUIONs and in the first 10 mins of Dan's talk you see basically the same thing with user interaction applied.

createFetcher is brand new and here's the metaconversation on Twitter/Github: https://twitter.com/acdlite/status/969168681644179456 and https://github.com/facebook/react/pull/12279/files#diff-50d8...

with a couple implementations here (https://twitter.com/jamiebuilds/status/969169357094842368) and here (https://twitter.com/actualhypercrab/status/94131894239559680...)

// style discussion below

one thing I really appreciate about this talk is hard it is to even communicate asynchronous problems and the solutions to them. Personally the lagging animationFrame clock display (for time slicing) and the loading state devtools (for "react suspense") were actually the bigger "wow" moments. (Yes I know this talk is not about the tools or the charts)

he does another thing I'm a fan of - starting with a question. this helps frame the rest of the talk: explaining why the question is a big deal, breaking the question down, proposing some solutions, showing how the solutions answer the question.

bottom line - there's more to learn from this talk than just React.
Black cats rock. I think there is a correlation between cat color and their personality. Black cats always have gentle disposition, orange cats not so much :D. Plus I like their ninja, black panther look.

I agree except with the "most". I see far too many people driving new BMWs and Mercedes that I know on average make sub $100k salaries. I'd say most are in the treadmill, but definitely "many" are happy living within their means.
Stack Overflow jobs specify if they will pay for relocation and visa applications which is really useful.
Snapsheet | Fullstack/Data/Mobile Developers and UI/UX/Product Designers | Full-time | ONSITE | Chicago, IL

At Snapsheet, we work with the auto insurance industry to provide a better claims process for drivers, repair shops, and carriers. If you've seen a commercial where someone takes out their phone and opens an app after a car accident, they're probably one of our clients. Many of our clients are fortune 500 companies, but we're still relatively small with around 300 employees, half of which work at our office in downtown Chicago.

In 2018, our goal is to build new products and make our existing products better. To do that, we need engineers of all backgrounds and experience levels to join our team.

Our core stack is React+Rails hosted on AWS/Heroku, but there are other projects in various languages. Our primary product is an internal CRM, which is supported by tools we've created for body shops or car rental services and of course our mobile apps.

Worth highlighting: We have bi-weekly hack days, where we actually produce new products - nothing is left sitting on a local branch gathering dust. We have good benefits/pay, unlimited PTO, and a team of smart people that genuinely enjoy each other.

For more information email me directly robert.goetz@snapsheet.me. You can also check out our company or see/apply to open positions at www.snapsheetapp.com.
I enjoyed my sociology classes when I had to take them but I still haven't been able to get over the premise that asians sort've get hand-waved out of a lot of statistics and it's okay because "they're a model minority in this country". I've got to assume that the theory which justifies it goes deeper than my intro level courses covered but it just seemed lazy and a bit racist when I learned it.

https://blog.g2crowd.com/careers/

Dev team stuff:

* Small team with mix of jr/mid/senior people
* Everyone codes in all parts of the applications
* Lots of pair programming and peer review
* No QA or ops staff (developers all code, review, deploy)
* Rails 5 with ES6
* Heroku hosting

Looking for mid/senior now but will hire junior later once we can properly support.
+1 for the blind application process.
This could be early investors/founders/employees taking the opportunity to sell equity. Its possible that DoorDash itself is getting little or nothing from this deal.
In particular, worrying about not being able to reproduce something and then proposing to use a web app for it seems... counterproductive.

Chronic existential crisis can be accidental too. I'm barely out ot a clinical critical one and it was the sum very long time factors that just exploded at the same time in ways that were near impossible for me to predict.

Anyway, drug can be very helpful (coming from someone who refrained to use them) to smooth the bad peaks. It's impossible to fight that.. kinda like a bleeding. Then you can work on other aspects. Also depression has some absurd side, because as long as your brain is tilted nothing works, the day it starts to balance again, for no special reason, you'll start to have mental energy and pleasure you forgot you could have.
One key think to remember is that the people at the top or bottom aren't necessarily the same people year over year.

Not sure where to find the data, but I'd love to see the churn rate by different income quintiles.
... and then you replaced the battery
There is none. Performance doesn't matter at all. It's weird.
Someone should make some sort of web service for collecting and organizing links.
Not eliminate, but we should compensate service workers fairly to the point that they have basic health coverage and aren’t one paycheck away from being homeless.

How to Craft the Perfect SEO Title Tag
> Congrats you aren't losing money on every order!

I think this misunderstands how marketplaces are built. Traditional economics would agree with you and say that selling $1 at $0.90 is insanity. Traditional economics have been slow to catch up with marketplace economics although there have been some recent papers that start explaining a better framework.

If you know that a marketplace has strong network efforts and improved performance at scale. The right strategy is to understand the trade-off between time and $ required to get to scale in your marketplace.

The optimal strategy often means subsidizing a market at a price below your actual cost for early markets. The fact that Door Dash talks about their business in terms of early vs. late markets with different economics means that they are using this playbook.

There are of course many companies that think they are building a marketplace with a network effect when they are actually just losing money. I don't know DoorDash specifically.
A concrete example of what?
Centosette | Remote | Entry Level Data Analyst | Salary $65K

There are over 800,000 miles of waste water pipes in the US(4.2B feet). Much of this infrastructure has reached the end of its planned life and must be inspected, repaired and replaced.

Centosette is a profitable startup that is tackling these problems in the wastewater industry. For decades the wastewater industry has been inspecting sewers with remotely controlled cameras and human analysts. We are working with the leading camera manufacturer and the largest inspection companies in the world to disrupt this with AI and automation.

We are looking to hire an entry level data analyst to help improve our throughput. The job will entail keeping our existing processing pipeline running, labeling data for machine learning and general maintenance to improve the codebase.

We are looking for a nimble engineer that isn’t afraid to jump in with a small team and make a big impact.

As a Guix person, I pretty much disagree with Joey's conclusion that some things—essentially QA and license checks—may “need to be jettisoned”. Those things, to me as a user, are one of the big pluses of Debian (and hopefully Guix).

Yet, it’s pretty obvious that today, traditional distros can no longer pretend to provide every single free software package that’s out there—let alone providing them with the level of QA and polishing that Debian, Fedora, Guix, and others provide.

In Guix we currently semi-automatically import package definitions from third-party repos like Hackage, PyPI, and the likes, for which we do some additional QA: https://gnu.org/s/guix/manual/html_node/Invoking-guix-import... .

One idea we discussed would be to offer as an option the ability to to “live imports”: users could install packages imported on the fly from these repos, while still taking advantage of the Guix user interface, transactional upgrades and rollback, and other goodies.

That could be a way to address user needs without throwing the baby with the water. There are technical challenges before we can get there, though…
Ultimately the key point is predictability. Being able to plan when your meeting will be. Even if congestion doesn't change or gets worse, the point is that it will be easier to plan as trip times become more predictable thanks to machines. That way you won't be late for meetings. as the OP inmplied.

Selfing driving + fleet cars will most certainly reduce the average car size. People buy 4-5 seats for the edge cases when they might need to pick up some friends or more than one child at a time, or merely because it's the most common type of vehicle available, which people buy out of habit or whatever social reason.

But looking at car on any highway and you'll only find more then 1-2 drivers a minority of the time.

When we eliminate the need to buy a single car for all general use-cases, and have a high quantity of self-driving Uber style cars available, then 1-2 seater cars with become the most popular size. Which in itself with reduce climate damage and increase capacities on roads.

Especially as self-driving cars can drive at higher speeds and closer together, potentially linking up like trains for long-distance rides.
If you look at the effective tax rate for the highest earns it's higher now than in the 50-70's.

Sure the rates were higher, but the tax code closed a ton of "loopholes" since then.
"Bad Actors" in the tech field tend to flock together. Comodo has been at the center of several really ugly stories, this one being the latest. The CEO of Comodo attempted to sue Lets Encrypt before they launched, in order to kill the project because of the threat it represented to their business model. after 24 hours of backlash from the internet public he backed down and said it was all a misunderstanding. Of course.

Cloudflare uses Comodo for their SSL. They could use some other cert authority, but they chose to use Comodo. This is on topic, in a general sense of CAs and trust. It bears repeating: Bad actors tend to flock together.
I bought a new iMac 2 years ago to replace my 2006 Mac Pro; unfortunately even with 9GB of RAM it's simply too slow to edit the monster 20MP images coming off pocket cameras these days. It was a great machine for me, though. The old Mac Pros are stuck back on Snow Leopard or something; it hasn't been eligible for a software update in quite a few release cycles, although I think the SLIGHTLY newer Mac Pros are still supported.

I use to be a high level Age of Kings player (Even got an invite to the first World Cyber Olympics in NYC).

The pathing was ALWAYS horrible but the PATCHING by the developer was even worse. There were times when the community just banned certain things because they were just broken (Teuten's Town halls were only costing wood but did more damage than high costing resource units and buildings).

As a high level player a broken pathing allowed me to micro my troops and get an advantage over other players. Most players play with the speed of a 4X and there were few of us who played by trying to make 150+ commands a minute.

So this horrible pathing was seen as an advantage by faster players.

Australia is part of the "citizens of the crown" in that we are part of the Commonwealth.

The reason we travel far easier, is that Australia is an incredibly young country (1901), so most people are < 2 generations away from European ancestors. This makes visa's quite easy.

We also have a pretty great deal with the US, with the E3 visa, which is basically a private pool of visas only available to Australians.

Re: US citizens travelling to the UK, I don't think there are very good systems in place for that. I think you would be better off with the wider EU (Swizterland, Germany, France, Netherlands, Denmark are pretty decent from a tech perspective)
And they're probably not wrong. In other words, I suspect that if there were two identical competing services, the convenient one would win. If one only supported client certs, and one only supported 2FA, I have a (unsupported) feeling that the client cert company would not survive long.
> #1 is absolutely important. You can't just take valuable time and money from people to do "testing" that, in my opinion, wouldn't tell you anything anyway.

If you used this argument against something like TDD (in which a 15% extra upfront cost is more than paid for by a 60-90% reduction in produced bugs, according to the Nagappan paper), it would fall flat.

If you do it enough times you will get a picture of precision and recall, which IMHO would be an important determinant of effectiveness. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_and_recall

While my criticism is of a more technical nature than this, you do have a good point that this can be used as a comparative metric. This certainly has value to the marketer, but then again any number that goes up has value to a marketer, so I suppose it should go without saying...
Well, you might look at the fuzzier OECD Better life index. You can weight a set of broader category indicies.

I agree with GP, but it's a hard point to prove.

I only have my (and my brothers) anecdotal experience: We weren't baptised, nobody ever pushed or even talked religion with us, we went to church with grandma a couple times a year, and lived in a regular Catholic country (Italy).

I recall the first time I thought about God and afterlife and my spirituality I was around 14, old enough to entertain these kind of thoughts, and old enough not to care. God wasn't just a concept I felt I needed in my life.

We're 3 brothers (and a sister), and only she wanted to be baptised when we was younger, around 8, because her grandmother (which wasn't MY grandmother) was somewhat religious, and often talked about it with her. Now she's 12, and she's not interested anymore, probably after the influence of the three older brothers who go through life without any consideration about spirituality.

Again, this is just a N=4 experience, but living in Europe, where most modern families are not religious anymore, it's most apparent. Only one person in my 50 closest acquaintances believes in God, and goes to church. Yet everybody is baptised, all families have a crucifix in the house, and everybody goes through a couple months reading the Bible with their priest (catechism) when they're 10 or 11 years old. I doubt many of their sons and grandsons will find any interest in religion.
Is this supposed be an argument for infantile religions indoctrination? "If we didn't cram this down the throats of captive audiences with undeveloped critical thinking skills, no one would believe it!". There's a popular meme going around describing the correct reaction to such a claim: "Then perish".
