Research is inconclusive, but there are indications that UV light (although not required for photosynthesis) can have effects on yields and either on resistance against pests (insects/molds/fungi) or directly attack/kill/weaken those pests. So basically 'it depends', and people do their own tests and then determine if, in their specific circumstances, it is a net positive (economically) to add UV lights to their setups.

I think this is the main message. People in this thread are talking in absolutes about 'agriculture', but the reality is that there are many, many things that we don't understand well enough at the above-micro-level scale to be able to say 'you need to measure x, y and z and then we can calculate/model the optimal setup to grow something'. People are basically relying on (informed) trial and error, with feedback cycles measures in months or years, so it just takes a long long time for progress to be made - and even then, we usually don't know exactly why something works in a specific case. It's not like 'oh let's run an A/B test for the best color of our 'buy' button for a few days'.

Not sure why you would throw Ansible into your pod.

Someone has to build your docker images Jenkins, Kafka and Grafana + Prometheus.

I also like Kubernetes but i don't think Kubernetes is necessary for small controlled environments.

Ansible just works with help of galaxy. I set up Jenkins, Kafka, Grafana + Prometheus faster with ansible than with kubernetes with more/easier control, specificly when i take care of stuff inside those services which are not yet thought of in the docker container.

Also the scaling thing, small companies just don't need.

There is a level of complexity to kubernetes.

I should say its very easy to construct synthetic datasets on which it is very clear that the only role of large layers is to supply more opportunities for the initialization to get it right.

Well that all depends on the exact numbers, doesn't it? But someone going to the farmers market twice as often as they'd need to go to the supermarket (because that produce doesn't last as long, although that mostly because of less efficient processing methods in small farms) is already almost surely polluting more than the person going to the supermarket.

That's not even mentioning the savings that can be had from home delivery. Although I had a local organic pig farmer deliver meat at home just yesterday, so that's not an advantage exclusive to large players (provided he has enough customers to do multiple drops on one tour - I should've asked him, come to think of it).
"It's almost a little strange why marketers and advertisers are so apprehensive" about Reddit, said Amanda Parker, an account supervisor for digital marketing agency PMG. "Marketers chase scale, and Reddit has it. I think they have an old-fashioned view of who Redditors are."

Pretty obvious I would have thought: as long as reddit remains the platform of choice for all the worst hate groups in America, the harder it will be for them to attract advertisers.

If reddit insists on turning a blind eye to open and unchecked racism, calls for genocide, threats of physical violence, and bucketloads of other abhorrent content its co-founder describes as "valuable discussion", then that's the price they have to pay.

> In my experience, the fact that React is a simple view library makes it the perfect choice for small shops.

Vue is also a simple view library.

You keep bringing up Angular, as if Vue has something to do with it. Vue is so much closer to React than to Angular.

> You're taking on considerable risk when you use a technology without a vested backer (Facebook is heavily vested in React, look at Angular 1 for an example of a framework with a big backer than is not vested, the API was completely broken in a rewrite). Smaller frameworks also suffer from a lack of sustained development.

Sorry, but that sounds a lot like rationalization and wishful thinking, written purely to make React look good and anything else look bad.

Vue also has backers that contribute financially, a large community using it and sustained development. The fact that it isn't as big as React doesn't make it unworthy of existing or unable to provide the same technical benefits as React.

Having done this in the wild a while ago, it seemed to be hard for most of the other developers to do anything complex with it.

You either really got it and then could do wonderful things, or you sorta muddled along with it and it was ok but it was like they were wearing a straitjacket.

I made a pivot table control out of it, with almost all the logic inside the XLST, it was amazingly fast compared to IE6's javascript at the time. I remember that Blizzard used it for the WoW online character viewer which was streets ahead of what anyone else was doing.

Also there's a DailyWTF about someone doing this on a large app, which brought the developer out of the woodwork to defend it who said in fact it wasn't a WTF, it was deliberate, it worked, loads of people loved it. Which prompted a huge debate about how it was actually kinda good, but just too high a learning curve (which is the death knell of many a tech).

Personally I don't miss it. The best way I can sum up XML/XLST up is that it made me feel clever, and now I know that when I start feeling clever about my code that's a sure sign I'm making something that's going to be a nightmare to maintain.

As someone one who rewrote a React/Redux project with bare React : Everything in your post is true, I made the same observations and I reached the same conclusions.

Right now with a few devs it is going very well but I do worry about on-boarding people who are not proficient in functional programming.

React code without a global state management library is very pleasant and easy to read/understand for many, but for some it is not always obvious to write. You may have to spend more time code reviewing and training newcomers who will sometimes feel like their task is impossible without Redux. I have yet to see if those requirements can still hold for a big team but I think it is possible.

My current opinion on Redux is that it is best suited for existing project migrating to React because you may inherit very odd relationships between the view and the data and Redux will avoid you a lot of pain on this regard. A new project should avoid Redux & co as long as it can.

1) Depends where you live. In a lot of the world's biggest cities in terms of population you've got to travel really far to find land. Probably still cheaper to transport the goods into town than grow it locally, but that comes at the expense of freshness, time, and taxing a freight network that could be used to transport other things. Not to mention places like the Vatican, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc, which don't really have land to use.

2) Sure, it's ironic to harness solar energy to give light to plants, but it might well be more effective. Plants can in a theoretic perfect world collect 11% of the sun's energy for use in photosynthesis according to Wikipedia. In effect the figure is more like 3% to 6%. A majority of solar panels have an efficiency of between 15-17%. The building's owner might actually be able to sell surplus energy to the market after lighting and warming/cooling their plants. That's not mentioning wind power which is readily available at the top of tall structures. As for the lighting, I'm not sure where your claim that you're losing 90% of energy comes from... LEDs are quite effective.

3) As I've pointed out above, your dismissal of this idea rests on quite a few incorrect assumptions. Shipping is cheap..ish.. but there's an opportunity cost associated with it. Hong Kong, for example, is extremely reliant on imports of food. 47% of the city's fruit go through one market, 317,000 tonnes of it in 2014. If just a portion of that, by weight, was taken off the streets by urban farming on brownfield plots, rooftops, or property that for regulatory reasons can be neither residential or industrial (noise/safety) the cost of shipping other goods would drop.

I'm glad you mention the water. By 2050 the World Bank estimates the number of urban dwellers with seasonal water shortages will reach 1.9bn people. If urban farming can help this issue, even if all the other benefits weren't present, it would be worth it.

> The amount of special cases in Vue templating syntax is comparable to the special cases and gotchas of JSX

This is patently not so.

Vue has:

- three different html-like attributes

- three different scripting languages in templates (two Javascript-like, one Javascript, but only expressions)

- one scripting language for controller/model which actually breaks JS assumptions (about what `this` is, for example) by magiacally hoisting some (but not all) properties of an object

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DbVEoKOX0AEEen6.jpg:large
Those are 3 options, and have different nuance. They also were added to the language in later versions but you can use what you what works, I find it hard to see how that makes the language incoherent as if multiple options are bad.

What exactly changed with a for loop?

The runtime is different from the c# programming language. Originally when this all started, Windows was the focus and Linux/open-source were not an option, so saying it should be there from v1 doesn't fit when there was only one OS that it was planned to run on.
Higher Order Components are like Aspect Oriented Programming - it takes a component and adds some stuff to it. It can add that stuff to any kind of component. That's all you really need to know.

Examples of HOC are the connect() call from Redux, or the withNavigation() from React Navigation, or injectIntl() from React-Intl. These respectively add Redux functionality, navigation functionality, and internationalization functionality to your component.

I think the name "Higher Order Component", like many things in the React world, is poorly chosen and actually obscures what it is, how it works, and makes it look more intimidating than it really is. It's technically correct (like 'reducer' is), but communicates nothing.

Dude, sometimes people are in a financial stretch and the increase in compensation is the only reason to search for alternatives.

Especially in big corps there can be a policy of being stingy with the wages unless there is some scenario like a need for counteroffer for a high performing individual contributor.

Now, you can think the company is cheap and does not really earn you contribution.

However, the psychological reality is that people don't work in their companies - they work inside teams within companies, and the duties and the culture of the team can be great even if the company policy (likely sculpted out of feeling of ficudiary duty towards stockholders among other things) feels cheap.

Great teams and great managers are far more important for a great job than "great companies". Yes, the latent company culture affects team as well, but that's only one aspect of the whole.
