> Having state management (axios)

Axios is a http client library, not state management library, you're thinking of Vuex. That being said, I don't know why the author associates Axios with React ecosystem, it's just a library you can use with any of the client frameworks.
Code highlighting would be also a nice feature to add.

Having the sensibility to consistently understand humor and satire is something a lot of HN readers probably take for granted. When I was 10 years old I probably only understood half the jokes on the simpsons - it makes re-watching those old episodes entertaining.

They aren't similar. GitHub's terms clearly restrict their license for use within the service. Sketch.systems grants an unlimited right to use and distribute AND gives the same rights to all of their customers. That is incredibly broad.
> ARM itself is not very nice design from contemporary point of view. [...] they decided to use that ARM thing

ARM CPUs are the de-facto standard in the embedded world (except for simple 8-bit MCUs), so what should Xilinx have done? Design their own, proprietary CPU architecture and ISA? Choose some other architecture with 2% market share? Both paths would have led to the immediate death of the whole product line.

> 1) ARM is not RISC (multiregister load/store execute in several clocks)

So? Who cares?

> 2) too much of initial design of first ARM (which was not planned for longterm evolution) is visible in ISA.

Ah, yes, technological purism – the quickest way to practical irrelevance.
I completely agree. It seems immoral that we start short one house when we aren’t allowed to camp and hunt freely anywhere.
Yes, I'm kind of surprised by this too, but I guess that the whole industry has been moving away from desktop applications for quite some time.

Satire and sarcasm are best used in the company of people who will understand it. It is not for use with the masses.

When someone is sarcastic or uses satire on you, you should take it as a complement, as it means they believe you have the intellectual capacity to grasp the joke, enough to take the risk in telling it to you.

When you respond with sarcasm or satire of your own, it confirms to them that you have found common ground, and that your satire/sarcasm can slowly lift into even higher levels of wit, almost trying to outdo each other.

When someone doesn’t get my satirical jokes, I write them off as a simpleton and use only small, safe jokes with them, if at all.

If you are going to make a sarcastic joke publicly, it is best to also make sure there is some sort of external approval in the form of laughing or upvotes to go along with it, otherwise it can easily be misinterpreted as your own serious opinion.
> In a moment of somewhat poor judgement, he said, essentially, "I've always hated gay people." But he was joking.

I wouldn't say it was a joke, it was a form of humor.

> The joke was that gay haters are often so over the top that they will sound completely ridiculous

No this wasn't the humor as far as I can see.

He's rubbing his nose in the fact many people no longer get humor in its many forms and is using a type of humor that's not commonly done these days. Even things like the Daily Show have to "Explain the joke" these days.

FYI Australians (He's Australian) consider this an a lower class American trait, right or wrong it's a common meme in Australia, Americans audiences are so bad the joke has to be explained. (And notice I have to include the "Right or Wrong" when it wasn't needed, cause it's another form of infection were you can't report on things without saying your moral stance no matter how outrageous)

> Now, to be clear, if you watch the original video, there's probably no way for you to tell it was a joke.

This is simply not true, it's incredibly obvious.

And no he wasn't trolling, a best he was thumbing his nose at the outrage machine that kicks into action without regard to why, for them it's all about forming their mob whenever possible, they use mobs for adrenaline rather than humor.

Did he win a round for humor over the lynch mob, two mortal enemies. Hard to say.
Yep. But I'm asking about consequences. Ukraine was very poor after collapse of socialism, so USA had worries that Ukraine may sold or lost some of their nuclear bombs, ballistic missiles, or supersonic bomber to an enemy of USA, so USA (with Russia and Britain) promised security to Ukraine in exchange of promise to demolish all that, and to stop development of any new weapons which can harm USA. So we dropped our weapons and stayed unarmed in front of Russia. I personally, counter-attacked Russians with pneumatic pistole, which I then exchanged on field to hand-made grenade, so other few, with real hunter riffles, had chance against AK's and BTR.

Is my example bad for you?
If you're talking about the US today, it's hard to say for sure. We don't know what people are using them for with much accuracy or precision.

A major use seems to be to commit fraud or as a risky speculation vehicle. We also know they've replaced cash in a tiny portion of the black-market economy.

Like everyone else, I have almost no data, but my guess is that it's net "bad" right now.

As for the future, anyone who says they know for sure is very naive. We just don't know what could happen. Perhaps crypto will save us all from a corrupt government.

the only question i have: such worse performance by nn is strange, it should be similar to logistic regression..
Luckily I have a skewed and narrow mind.

More seriously, it's a jumping off point - things of interest that have happened. It's a way of getting a decent view on overall trends. Honestly though I don't think I can manage any more news aggregators - that's kind of why I have defaulted to weekly satire. I have actual work to do, and keeping uptodate is more and more a full

I really dislike the Swift/Scala/Rust/Dart/Kotlin etc. style, heavy and centralised syntax. ObjC is not very beautiful, but it has an elegant way of combining composable primitives (functions and objects). The same kinda sorta goes for Perl too, which I think is a nicer alternative to C in this stack.
This is a really massive undertaking, and the UI space is really crowded and moving in all sorts of directions.
It's not that it would be without value, but it's really risky and a lot of work, so not very surprising.

I really like the concept, though I think the initial stage might benefit from surfacing content from "top" websites as opposed to just votes. It's much more important to catch misinformation in larger, well known media sources, than it is to catch it on a random forum, for example. That's just my opinion, though.
If you want simplicity as your #1 objective then I would recommend Flask and Python. If speed is your #1 objective then you can try Go.

Maintaining a C webapp is terrible.

You don't have any primitives, you need to manage your own memory which is extremely dangerous, and the amount of best practices you need to learn so you won't shoot yourself in n the foot and create an exploitable/unstable application is immense.

I believe this is also to do with political power (as is much of this play). The car dealship issue/ selling direct, was about power.

The reasons the seats were delayed was because they also contract with other car companies - so, priorities. This political mechanism applies to ever aspect of the car. If you build it all yourself, your competitors have 0 power over what you do.

"Step one, learn how to use punctuation correctly:
This: "college ,any" - incorrect, the correct usage is "collage, any".

This: "collage,ran" - also incorrect, the correct usage is "collage, ran" (space after the comma, comma adjacent to the previous word).

This: "coding.Freshman" - incorrect, the correct usage is "coding. Freshman" (you sometimes find two spaces after the period, that is also acceptable).

The rest of your post is riddled with errors of these kinds. That and spelling/grammar errors, all of which make you appear sloppy. And a sloppy language using programmer is often a poor programmer. So step one is to begin correcting these issues."

Unity was the first Linux desktop that was polished and had the just works feel about it.

I remember struggling with Linux GUIs since the earliest days of Redhat and we are talking 15 years ago. Unity is comparable to my retina macbook and Win10 desktop. This is not a small achievement. Your grandmother could use it.

Internet opinion tends to be loud but may not be representative when you mix in the vested interests pushing their own desktops, astroturfers and a certain community who think they should control Linux and everyone needs their approval and blessings.

In Unity's case it was this last group with the most vicious reactions. No one can be so bitter about a desktop unless they are vested in something else. I wish Ubuntu hadn't abandoned it.
FWIW, it's fine to try submitting it again, as long as you don't do it over and over.

Speaking as someone in the military: yes. There are a great many weapons i dont want. Because by me (and everyone else in uniform) not wanting them they dont exist. Top of that list: plastic schrapnel. I dont want. It isnt manufactured. Therefore even ISIS cannot use it.

Also on the list: direct-energy blinding weapons design to destroy the retina. Easily biult, but happily not a thing.

You don't have to misinterpret things to do satire.
Fair, I was looking at US market, where they hold 35%.
Saw this bit from Bill Maher's show yesterday:

“I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point, and by the way, I’m hoping for it because I think one way you get rid of Trump is a crashing economy. So please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people but it’s either root for a recession, or you lose your democracy.”

I understand it's supposed to be comedy, but this sounded way too serious and not at all well-meaning.
The uncomfortable truth is that a large proportion of the population that would formerly have been peripherally interested in current affairs, perhaps watching the news on TV once in a while, and rarely reading newspapers (which had a massive barrier to entry) are now being force-fed information. Many don’t have well-developed critical thinking skills, and rarely needed them before the current era.

The idea that the answer to bad speech online, is more speech, is BS, because a truly unfiltered medium would be overwhelmed with spam, as USENET was, so there have always been algorithms on social media curating and controlling what people saw. If these algorithms can’t distinguish satire from reality, neither will many who who consume their outputs.

So we’re at the mercy of ignoramuses, fed garbage by algorithms programmed by people with (ahem) limited people skills, and being gamed by sophisticated propagandists. God help us.
I learned about all this from Starship Troopers, with my friends and I noticing the satire immediately while watching it at the theatre.

It was basically Colbert Report before Colbert Report, literally making fun of its source material. The thing is, very few people got it, including professional reviewers. A reviewer from the Washington Post even mentioned how nothing made sense and seemed way more fascist than intended, noticing the similarities between Doogie Howser's uniform and a Nazi SS uniform.

It really was privilege to know satire, and we have to tread carefully when using satire to make a case, because very few people will actually get it.

I understand the temptation to “just use code”, but I’ve experienced this going wrong at even small team scales:

- Our programming languages just don’t give us an efficient abstraction to think about user flow. This tool shows in one diagram what it might take 10 React component files to capture in production.

- This would make hiring good designers near impossible for most teams, or at least shift the hiring criteria away from user experience and craft into code ability (which means your design will be bad).

- Putting designers in production code is a waste of time because they then have to “own” the parts of engineering that aren’t code too (style, test coverage, deployment, interrupting design to fix bugs they created a year ago, etc).

- Even if you hired a great designer for cheap who could see all this logic easily on your web app, for ex, this kind of logic often need to be spec’d for multiple products/platforms simultaneously.

- For medium and large companies with complex logic (many companies), a spec of how the app works is used beyond product teams that need answers in a document fast. For ex, by support teams who are trying to figure out if behavior a user is seeing is a bug or part of the design so they can file a ticket correctly.

This strikes me of Ireland's version of Snowden, in that we essentially knew about it all along, but it's taken the arrival of wide-spread evidence for anything to actually happen.

The good news is that it is actually happening. I don't actually think we're going to see anyone punished, but we are seeing change, which is much more important. Ireland's progressed a long way from so narrowly accepting divorce, in an astonishingly short amount of time. It's become quite clear that the current generation aren't going to allow the Church free reign anymore.

As a history buff, sometimes people ask me: what's the most accurate history movie? (It gets asked on the reddit History forum a lot also)

The answer: none of them. If you see it on a screen, it's been modified somehow for the medium of movies and to make movie audiences happy. That's not history, that's entertainment.

We saw the first "fake" documentaries pop up in the late 80s. They looked like documentaries, sure, but really they were advocacy pieces disguised as documentaries. They weren't documenting something. They had an agenda.

Eventually they also became entertainment. Now you can turn on the TV and see dozens of different documentaries about all sorts of topics. They churn them out like popcorn. It looks like a documentary, they say it's a documentary, but it's not.

Back in the 70s and 80s, satire was just that: satire. It was humor first and foremost. Comedians picked on anybody and everybody. Don Rickles would famously insult anybody in the crowd. Don loved people, but he was a comedian. Because he loved people, audiences let him practice his craft: insult comedy.

That changed, probably with the advent of political talk radio in the late 80s, although I'm not an expert. Humor became a way of solidifying whatever clan you were in. The art didn't come first any more, the clan did. This wasn't humor as fun, this was humor as a weapon, a social signal. The common use of satire now isn't to make fun of life, it's a form of ritualized mocking. It looks like humor, they say it's humor, but it's not. It's the same thing kids used to do when they made jokes and picked on disabled kids at school, only it's okay because it's somebody of the other political party. It's gotten so bad that many comedians don't do college appearances. Students are much more interested in belonging to a clan than simply enjoying art that joyfully makes fun of the world around us. You throw any kind of satire at them and they're much more interested in which side is this guy on, anyway? than whether it was funny or not. That's what they've been taught that satire is: signaling. That sucks.

My point is this: everything is misinformation. Life is complex. We use art and narrative to take that complexity and make something cartoonish out of it so we can make sense of it. You have to be extremely careful using satire online because so many people view it is simply more of the same; it fits into some simplified narrative they have in their heads. There's no sense of making-fun-of-yourself humor. Instead it's misrepresenting people in the "other group" in order to get a few laughs at how superior you are. When others use satire, you can quite easily view it as confirmation that you were right all along instead of just being fun.

I may be young and dumb, but C programming seems very simple and straightforward to me. With abstraction comes lack of knowledge of implementation in favor of ease of use; but in C you can build your own abstractions quickly and reach a level close to even JS (opaque types, function pointers). At least in C you know exactly what is going on.

Can someone briefly summarize the security issues in C? If you manage memory properly and take a conservative approach to handling input, where is the risk?

Like I said, I'm young and have only be programming in C for ~3 years.
