It's not just a baby step. For lots of people who are doing more involved work than a thin, straightforward frontend for a server, there are things that are just worse or practically impossible to implement with React Native/JS alone, meaning you'll have to keep falling back on native code. A 100% RN app is simply not feasible for a lot of teams.
> Then why was the photo that sparked the latest outrage reported as being recent, when it was taken during the previous administration?

There was no one photo that sparked the recent outrage. I don't even know what photo you are referring to.

> And what do you do with children at the border when they're not accompanied by a parent or even a relative, such as child traffickers?

Those children aren't with their parents to start with, so a change in policy on separating children from their parents does not affect them.
People apparently don't know this but being undocumented is not a criminal offense in that it's not even a misdemenor, it is a civil offense, like getting a speeding ticket. We do not separate speeding people from their children.

It is a criminal offense to illegally cross the border, a misdemeanor, but undocumented => illegally crossed is not always true or obvious. For example, one could overstay their visa.
I believe pretty strongly that all automation should have a manual override, form the POS system at a store to the interconnected HR systems the author describes.

A store chain that comes to mind as getting this right is Publix, a grocery store chain in the southeastern US. Aside from a policy of giving the customer any item that rings up at a higher price than is shown on the shelf free of charge, the cashier can generally overrule the computer if something is unreasonable. I'm sure these things get flagged for review by a manager, but in the moment, the cashier is empowered to fix the problem for the customer. I've had other stores tell me they couldn't sell me an item at all because the computer said it was a two-pack and the store only had a single item in stock.

Every one of the systems in the cascade that terminated the author's employment in practice should have an override or undo button. For security reasons, it should probably set off alarm bells pretty high up, but a director was already involved, which should have been sufficient approval.
Unfortunately, the library you describe wouldn't be Redux at all. Part of the core point of Redux is to separate out the act of describing some event or update that needs to occur, from the process of applying that update. That's what makes time-travel debugging possible, and it allows middleware to modify the actions that are passing through the store. In all honesty, if you want objects with methods, MobX is what you're looking for.

Not quite sure what that "single object" sentence is trying to say, but that also sorta sounds like MobX's wrapping up of components with `observe()` (which ultimately does the same kind of thing `connect` is doing, just in a rather different way).

(Also, fwiw, Redux is completely separate from the React team. Dan Abramov and Andrew Clark, the creators of Redux, _do_ work on React at Facebook now, but Redux is not a Facebook project, and Dan and Andrew are no longer active maintainers. We talk with them a lot, and they obviously have a vested interest in Redux, but it's separate.)

And thanks, appreciate the compliment.

Ask HN: Should I Leave Google Engineering Residency?
I’m currently a SWE in Google’s engineering residency program. This is a one year fixed term engineering rotational program. At the end of the year, most residents are given conversion offers to start immediately as a regular SWE. I like the team I’m on, but there is no headcount, so if I convert, I’ll likely go through the match process and be placed on some other team. I’m not excited about going through this process and essentially starting over at google.

I’m wondering if I should just interview elsewhere and, if I get an offer I like, just take it, even before the program ends. Google has given me no guarantee to stay beyond the program, so I feel it is reasonable to look for, and take, another offer. With a year of Google SWE on my resume, I should have better options than I did when I first looked for jobs.

How's FB's RN team reacted to Airbnb's decision to move away from RN?
> that they can just get "web" technology and speedup mobile development.

RN isn't really web technology. It is a JS engine along side a cross platform API translates API calls to the appropriate underlying native platform code. UI components rendered by RN do not use web tech at all.

It is no different than Xamarine in that regard, and has many of the same drawbacks.

> AirBNB's app is barely usable on two-year-old androids.

I never had problems with it on my Nexus 5x, and everything was a lag fest on that phone. (Lag in daily use got so bad after moving to Android 8 that I had to get a new phone just for my sanity.)

For a large # of apps, RN works just fine. Its real promise is not "web technology", so far as it is 99% code sharing across platforms.

The other players in this market don't have the same community drive that RN does, so people gravitate towards RN.
Thanks for the link, however the sub-sections are very important because subsection (a) and (e) are exactly what the Attorney General are arguing on top of if I understand correctly.

In this case the Atty General could claim that it is in the public interest to take in every unaccompanied alien child (defined as such by law [1]) - however that means that every child would basically go to the foster system while their parents were deported. Perhaps that is what is happening, I'm not sure.

In either case, the unaccompanied child and the adult in this case have different processes that the DOJ and in the case of children Health and Human Services, have guidelines to follow.

In the case of classical music, there are two things that need to be clarified:

1) Classical music is still being composed today, and there’s a huge volume of post-1927 work that is very much under copyright in the US (excessive though that may be IMO).

2) Even if a composition is PD, the recording is absolutely copyrightable if it’s post-1927, and the arrangement may be as well. This isn’t a matter of confusion; it’s an actual piece of intellectual property.

Not to say that any of this is right; I believe fair use protections need to go much, much farther than they do.
What even are rights anymore.

I recently underwent surgery and radiation treatment for cancer at the base of my tongue (left side) which was noticed by me because it formed a lump on the left side of my neck. They took about half a golf ball out of the base of my tongue and scooped out a bunch of neck stuff but my neck never bothered me at all. Tongue surgery recovery plus 2 months of mouth and neck radiation treatment is something I wouldn't wish on anyone.

I was on morphine for 5 months and my only complaint is that they told me at refill time that I should be done with it now and they didn't want to renew my monthly prescription. I told them I agreed with them but I needed another month of pills to allow myself to wean off of them over time. They were very reluctant but after a few hours and a few different doctors talked to me they went along with it. I did a 4 one week reductions and that first week without was almost worse than the cancer recovery.

I fear the return of the cancer more because of the need to have to go through the morphine withdrawal week than the cancer itself.

This was at the West Palm Beach VA Medical Center where I received absolutely first class treatment throughout the entire experience.

But that's assuming that improvements can't be made. In the case of cheddar in particular, it certainly can.

FWIW, I note https://github.com/mncharity/node-webvr-alt-stack . It's an old abandoned WebVR-1.0-like Vive-on-linux browser-as-compositor stack. Official WebVR support for linux was so completely unusable, that I rolled my own on top of Valve's low-level OpenVR lighthouse device driver. It was a hack, but that made it easy to get working.

Some Three.js WebVR demos worked. A-Frame didn't (wasn't a priority). No lens correction. Old WebVR 1.0. The repo may well still work, but you'd likely need to pin all the node.js module versions. No predictive pose, so lag but no judder. The few people who tried it, including some highly sensitized devs, were fine with that. 90 fps on down towards 40. I still use a similar stack around 30 fps with camera passthru AR. It just worked. I didn't plan to deploy on it, but it was nice to have a WebVR dev environment where things just worked. Which at the time, was far from true even on Windows. And given your description of current state... fyi fwiw.

I wondered at the time if Mozilla might be making a strategic error by so blowing off linux. The linux VR community was, and is, negligibly small compared to Windows. But a more diverse development community might have yielded a more robust development effort.

(BTW, my thanks - I'd managed to not notice the project has a long open issue. Eep.)
Fixing it is hard. The biggest hurdle is just admitting to yourself where you're at and how you got there. As much as you can blame your previous employer for your situation, it's ultimately your responsibility and you need to own that.

From a hiring manager perspective, I wouldn't say that it's game over, however. I've had plenty of devs get to the interview stage that have an experience vs skill mismatch, maybe 5 years instead of 10, but I consider them for maintenance work or our QA team that's less code heavy. For someone in this position, those roles might be a better fit or the candidate would have a place to prove themselves. Of course, you'd have to take a pay cut and take a mid-level or possibly a junior position. If I offered someone with 5 years of experience a junior position, it would probably be communicated that a bump could happen in 6 months to a mid-level role. A trial period of sorts.

The key is to be upfront. I've had devs try to bullshit their experience into something it obviously wasn't and it never works. I'd be blown away if a candidate came in, acknowledged their deficiencies, and said "I'm doing XYZ to figure it out and I really just need a chance to prove myself". Don't underestimate the importance of attitude and industry experience.

> What companies are most willing to give the "one year experience over many years" worker a fighting chance and get them up to speed?

Something about this question rubs me the wrong way. If you've fallen into the 1x10 pattern, no company is responsible for giving you a fighting chance. The burden is now on you. The advice I can give you is the same as any other dev, but probably more important, find a way to show me your skills and that you're working on improving. Open source work, code tests, side projects, anything and be able to discuss them.

The 1x10 devs that I already have are the ones who reject the opportunities given to them, who don't want extra responsibilities, and who aren't interested in learning new things. You need to give me confidence that that isn't you.

Then don't be a taxi driver. Supply will return to a more sustainable level and then suddenly it will be profitable again to be a taxi driver.

Instead now we have an artificially restricted supply of taxi drivers so that the state and its cronies can profit off the sale of taxi medallions.

I believe a ledger is the account balances that are computed from a transaction log. So a block on the Bitcoin network is a collection of transactions, whereas a block on the Stellar network is a ledger of the account balances for all "accounts" on the Stellar network.
This is the problem of imperative/functional programming languages, instead of using provers/verifiers.

Edit:

In "The Count of MonteCristo" by Alexandre Dumas, the protagonist was accused of aiding Bonaparte, and in the French island prison meets the priest who was accused (under Bonaparte) of aiding royalty. (I may have switched that around, it's been a while since reading). So even though switches in power occur, once incarcerated the evolving machine does not correct its past decisions.

When you automate corporate decisions with code, there is no real judicial branch (arbitrator, judges, ...), only an executive branch (computers) and a legislative branch (programmers). Hence there is no appeal mechanism.

In theory one could formalize our natural language concepts so that a verifier (for example MetaMath verifier) can act as a neutral judge. Then the automated corporate decisions would not just compute the decision to be taken, but also the proof that this is follows from the axiomatic corporate rules. Of course there is no guarantee that such a set of axioms actually encode what the corporation truly wishes, so even in the system I describe Ibrahim would get fired, BUT with the difference that he (and any superiors all the way up to the director) can see the "proof" of why this "should" happen, at which point they will understand which rule(s) were misformalized, which rule(s) did not accurately convey their intention. At this point they could fix the rule(s) and verify all the previously generated decisions with proofs, and possibly identify other individuals who where a bit meeker, and after the 3rd signal something was wrong simply went home never showing up again...

> What companies are most willing to give the "one year experience over many years" worker a fighting chance and get them up to speed?

The simple answer is none.

The company would need to not only figure out why an individual was behind, but then make a call if they were a worth while investment to get up to speed. Too many variables too much room for dishonesty or it not working out. No need to make that sort of investment when there are other people out there, who will likely cost the same amount (all in) and be productive.

> I rarely see it come up with solutions to fix it once you're waist-deep into this problem.

Individual problems require individual solutions - Change what area one works in (frontend vs backend vs embedded) and make a radical language change. Basically start over and then work like a starving student (be hungry for knowledge).

The best resource for dispassionate, objective and accurate information regarding international politics that I know of is actually a YouTube channel called Caspian Report.

Hackernews is very bad in this respect and it has gotten really bad recently. I've been on this website for years and years so it's not the illusion mentioned by the moderators -- I'm pretty sure that there has been a large influx of people who used to be on Reddit exclusively. Refugees who were driven out by reddits own disasterous decline in quality. This website can in fact be found when Google searching "Reddit alternatives."

Should any substance which enhances the risk of schizophrenia be legalized? https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/317170.php It appears to me that if cannabis was a food additive with the same risk profile, no one would think it should be legal.

I understand that the counter-argument is "What about tobacco/alcohol?" But those substances are already legal and there are no "equal opportunities" rights for drugs. Like if artificial sweeteners were invented today, they would either be banned or there would be harsh restrictions on how food producers could use them.

Yes, tobacco kills a lot of people. But as many health experts think letting the tobacco companies sell cigarettes was one of the greatest mistakes of the 20th century, I fail to see how that is an argument. We fucked up once, so we need to do it again?
