Ask HN: React Native or Not
Hello HN,

There has been a few threads in the past on the same question. But considering the current status of the project, do you think React Native is good to develop an app? It's not a super complex app but with decent functionality (Think like coursera app). I'm not sure how well Native supports video playback.

Also thinking in business perspective, i assume most startups cannot afford to develop both Android and iOS when they hit the market. What is the approach you follow? If not react native, Is it better to start with the iOS app and if there is traction, think about Android?

Nobody is coercing you to go, but people will gladly claim that if you are poorer as a result then it is surely because you was lazy or less talented then those who went. And they will celebrate those who went and virtuous and if you dare to point out dark side, you are lazy and jealous.

I used to believe that people dont have right to try to change rules of the game, but not anymore. Rules are tilted towards those who are willing to change them and this ideology equals ideology of passivity and submission.

Certainly, people are entitled to try to change rules, because current rules are result of human activity - someone else setting rules in his favor in the past.
From the article:

> 200% speed up in training! “Overall, we found Adam to be robust and well-suited to a wide range of non-convex optimization problems in the field machine learning” concluded the paper. Ah yes, those were the days, over three years ago now, a life-time in deep-learning-years. But it started to become clear that all was not as we hoped. Few research articles used it to train their models, new studies began to clearly discourage to apply it and showed on several experiments that plain ole SGD with momentum was performing better.

This is not true for all domains. In machine translation Adam is used in all top results papers I can think of.

At initial stage, when you do not have complex thing happening inside your app. It's fine to start with react native, but as soon as user grows, Native is best especially in terms of performance.

>I'm not aware the barbaric culture of billionaires using tax payers money to build a stadium and then keeping the profits from it anywhere outside US.

You'd be surprised.

"Taxpayers have criticised a "ridiculous" deal which means West Ham United will pay just a fraction of the £2.3m annual business rates bill on its London Stadium home.Owners E20 Stadium revealed the Hammers will only pay additional rates on the retail and office space in the 66,000-capacity ground after they secured the lease for just £2.5m a year in rent last year. Costs for the rest of the arena will have to be covered by E20, a joint venture between publicly funded London Legacy Development Corporation and Newham Council."

"English club Manchester City received more than $170 million in public funds for its Etihad Stadium, where it moved in 2002, because the grounds were built to host the Commonwealth Games. Tottenham Hotspur, another English club, will reportedly receive some sort of public aid, whether through tax breaks or other forms of relief, to build a new version of its White Hart Lane. West Ham is moving into London’s Olympic stadium, also built with public funds, though the club will pay a small amount of the conversion costs and will also pay annual rent (in two of these instances, you’ll notice, the stadiums were built for other events and are being utilized by clubs, which isn’t altogether a bad thing). And in Spain, Barça, Real Madrid, the world’s second most valuable franchise, and other clubs are under a European Union investigation for receiving improper tax breaks."

"When Juventus inaugurated the Juventus Arena in 2011 instead of the old Delle Alpi it became the first club in Italy to have stadium ownership while other clubs in Italy still rent a stadium from the local council. The main reason is for municipally owned stadiums is regulation and financial power of Italian clubs but this is starting to change now".

Even when you read about "renting" it, the deals are more than generous (nowhere near the costs), and accompanied with huge tax breaks and easy state or municipally-supported loans in tons of cases.

You seem to have a better perspective on this than me, but isn't it also a question of how much people talk about race issues in the US vs. Europe? To me it seems like a bit of a mixed bag:

* US Americans are generally very sensitive to the issue and try to be PC as much as possible.

* Europeans are rather insensitive to it, which shows in two ways: A lot of people seem to be more color-blind, which IMO is the upside, and a smaller but very visible bunch of people are more openly racist.

* This also applies to public discussions - the skin color of immigrants or inhabitants is rarely mentioned, people and the media rather just differentiate between natives, people with immigration background and immigrants - here in Switzerland maybe with special mentioning of Germans, French and Italians, as those three originating countries tend to be the most prevalent. Thus, it seems much less a race-, than a nationality issue.

* On the topic of numbers, I gotta say I think it depends. Here in Switzerland roughtly 30% of inhabitants don't hold Swiss nationality, tendency rising rather quickly. Of those, roughly half come from neighboring countries (i.e. culturally close), the other half is mostly from Ex-Yugoslavia, Middle East and Northern/Central Africa. Switzerland today seems much more like a melting pot than it was a decade ago, which is something I actually appreciate (I married an Asian immigrant myself and my son has two nationalities, which is actually a majority phenomenon in the whole greater Zurich area now).

That describes exactly what is happening. An individual's nuanced stance and well reasoned argument doesn't matter so much as their use of a hashtag does. Anyone on the fence is fraternizing with the enemy. The sides are ill-defined, but certainly delimited by what the self-ascribed gatekeepers at the top of the social jenga tower consider personally "deplorable", through blacklisting and social pressure.

I don't think they can really avoid touching on this, because a lot of this really is more about those tribes than about any particular underlying principle. For instance, a while back there was a controversy over a US Nintendo employee who worked with kids calling for it to be legal to own photos and videos of actual kids being raped. She was blue tribe and the people who discovered this red tribe, so the entire blue tribe insisted that anyone who was with them must side with her. There was even this narrative that she wasn't really calling for this, just defending Japanese culture, and anyone who claimed otherwise was lying. (Which didn't hold up - she'd used this as one flimsy justification as to why this should be legal, but hadn't even backed this with any evidence that any Japanese people supported this, and she was calling for it to be legal in the US and everywhere else too.) The idea that Japanese works shouldn't be policed by Western cultural standards is, in general, very strongly rejected by blue tribe folks, but that changed the moment an American of the right tribe needed defending.

I was around during the controversy you refer to, and it was largely manufactured.

You say "you can feel the lack of competition", but Dublin bikes are 20EUR for a year. The issue isn't competition.
Your views (liberal/socialist,....) can change over time too as some of them are age related. As the saying goes "If you're a conservative as a youngster, you don't have a heart, if you're not a conservative at middle age, you don't have a brain.".

Also, you can be exposed to a different culture and learn to like things, for example, most Europeans don't understand why on earth someone would like to watch baseball, but some learned to like it due to prolonged exposure.

Another example: I think most Europeans have their guards up talking to Americans about politics, as they know the other side would probably just consider them to be a 'pink commie bastard'(TM).

> Nobody is coercing you to go, but people will gladly claim that if you are poorer as a result then it is surely because you was lazy or less talented then those who went. And they will celebrate those who went and virtuous and if you dare to point out dark side, you are lazy and jealous.

Again, you make your own choices. If it is more important what people 'claim' about you, instead of how you feel about urself then it seems to me like somebody needs to readjust his moral compass and drop the 'what they are doing is not fair and just'. The hard truth is that people are not really complaining about the morality of the game, but about the fact that they don't get to play it because they have to keep their politically correct appearances.

> I used to believe that people dont have right to try to change rules of the game, but not anymore. Rules are tilted towards those who are willing to change them and this ideology equals ideology of passivity and submission.

You are absolutely right, I expressed myself poorly. What I meant is that that's the game they are playing. You are welcome to try and change it, but don't go crying (and claiming the moral high ground) when you are kicked out and defeated anyway.
I think that 'red' and 'blue' are just plain confusing because the US has relatively recently taken its own bindings of these labels to political positions that are completely arse-backwards to the long term historical uses of these colours in the entire rest of the world.

All sorts of cloud hosting things would benefit from this. The ability to swap in and out very fast allows you to run more containers or vms on the same machine in cases where only a percentage of those instances are utilized at any given time but even if one is swapped out it must be able to swap in and respond with reasonable latency.

Any kind of "serverless" hosting or any architecture where you have a container per user would benefit from this kind of development.

> Didn't finde the filesystem stuff too limiting

I don't understand. You don't need file system access? Then of course that's not a problem, does that need to be mentioned? Or you do need it, use a 3rd party app, and have not found the many issues of having to rely on a 3rd party module, such as when RNFB's maintainer disappeared (plus numerous code issues)? Since I care about future maintenance and I know that unpaid volunteers fed up with the demands placed on them by more and more users of their free packages I am not satisfied when at the time of use the package happens to work, I always look ahead and fear the future. When you have to unravel the whole thing a year later, when you have long moved on and have other things to do but now have a big maintenance issue on your hands because of some 3rd party package that you now have to maintain your own fork of, it's no fun.

> And FB mentioned the native bridge will be overhauled.

That is a plan for the possibly far-away future. In the recent HN thread about RN plans the RN person who responded to questions ("spicyj") said "likely yes", so it's not a done deal yet even as far as plans go. Reference: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17314315

What advantage would the 10nm process have for base stations?
Possibly in the micro-cell stuff for 5G, but none of this runs on battery. Established 16 or 28nm processes are cheap and run smoothly.

I read an interview with GlobalFoundries which talked about different process node characteristics. [1]

Who would really benefit from the 10nm process? Mobile SoCs, basebands/modems and AI chips. There has to be a high performance and low power requirement to justify being an early adopter of a new process.

Or intel aggressively misled fab customers about the progress of their 10nm efforts.

RNFB and RN-fs are the main two 3rd party modules that provide filesystem access. I chose one of the two after checking the code, the API, and the user base and commits (at that time the RNFB maintainer still was very active and had plans) to see which one looked more promising for my use case. I'm pretty familiar with both those modules down to the code (out of necessity, had to provide a lot of patches, I'm still using my own fork because when the maintainer disappeared there was no chance to get anything merged).

GBP are a nonprofit community-owned team:

The Packers are owned by the fans, making them the only publicly owned, not-for-profit, major professional team in the United States. The Pack have been a fan-owned operation since the primitive pro football days of the nineteen-twenties, when N.F.L. teams could be won in card games and no one foresaw the awesome power this sport would hold over both the American imagination and the American wallet.... The Packers’ unique setup has created a relationship between team and community unlike any in the N.F.L. Wisconsin fans get to enjoy the team with the confidence that their owner won’t threaten to move to Los Angeles unless the team gets a new mega-dome.

Make Your Agile ‘WAIT’ Visible and Worthwhile
Just a question, since you appear to be using email as your primary communication medium, what software/workflows do you use? On my side I always use Slack, and while I understand its drawbacks it seems to be the best for me so curious to know about other approaches.
My cable is very asymmetric 150/5 nominal, 170/6 best case.

I just now experimented with creating only the outgoing queue on my external interface. That's the slow direction. I went from a D in bufferbloat to an A, with just that one line addition.

Can you live with reducing just your upload speed? I sure can, I rarely upload much. But even if I were doing large amounts of cloud backup, it might not matter. If I go from 5000K to 4500K, is that really such a loss? Am I going to cry over 10%?

And if there is congestion such that my actual upload speed falls below 4500K, it's possible, maybe even likely, that I'm no worse off than before I created my upload queue.

Unfortunately the DSL Reports speedtest only tests one direction at a time. So maybe my fix doesn't work well if there is significant bidirectional simultaneous traffic?

Fortunately I'm running OpenBSD on my firewall, so it was very easy to experiment with this.

Doesn't this have to be done on the sending computer? Doing it on your computer would make a difference only when uploading; when downloading, the server you're downloading from would also need this setting.
Those would suffer even if they were forced to have "normal" (i.e. non-rough) sex. (IMO legalisation is the best solution for that, but it's an orthogonal issue to the one parent was pointing out.)
