I think, the most important aspect I tell my developers is to not define functions inline during render.
So, do not do this:

<button onClick={ () => this.smth() }></button>

This creates a new function every time the rendering happens and mutates the prop onClick on every render. Once you have a component with a lot of elements (e.g. inputs) and child components that check for changes props to determine whether to render, this will get you in performance trouble.

We do not use class arrow functions but instead have helpers to bind specific functions to the component's context or generate setter functions.

PC manufacturers lost any perceived brand difference the minute they decided to take marketing dollars from Intel and add an “Intel Inside” sticker on their computers and add it to their ads and when they decided to co Rand with Windows even to the point of including a Windows logo to their keyboards. The only thing most consumers know and care about is that it’s a computer running Windows with an Intel chip.
Guess we better outlaw the term "peanut butter" too then..
None of what you said addresses the fact that Trump directly appealed to a foreign power to hack his opponent, all you've done is thrown out a few whataboutisms. Not interested, sorry.
I think that would mean only a dyson hemisphere, since Earth is illumnated by the entire hemisphere of the sun that faces us, due to the sun's sheer size.

To see the kinds of effects this would have on the gas giants would be fascinating. It would probably drastically alter the coriolis banding and spots on Jupiter and Saturn.

Venus would probably be the only other planet affected, and perhaps comet behavior might change. In fact, I wonder if planets would become so cold, that they might produce visible comas as they warm up, when they enter the sun's (now hemispherical) light cone. That's probably the most prominent effect I can see happening.
Meh. Competitive race to dehumanization, ruthless proggressivism, are not physical laws. If there are sufficiently many actors unwilling to make accords, sure, it's inevitable. But there is enough structure and organizations, and interested humans, such that we can alter society to give a little more weight to basic human values than surrender to the endless march of domination.

We needn't halt it -- after all, if we can create a good desirable society, a billion more societies would be welcome.

But we have, and should continue to, what's truly valuable and worthwhile to pursue. An universe filled with automatons (even if scientific or mathematics god-like savants) is boring -- and I love mathematics -- but in general problem-solving ability is certainly not the whole story of cognitive experience, even general problem-solving ability. The life experience of Lee Sedol is more interesting than the synthetic "experience" of AlphaGo, even if it is superior at his life's work. If we had an AGI strictly geared towards solving technological problems the same might be said, even if ultimately other aspects of human experience are "wasteful", unnecessary for conquest and dominion.
When the tomography method is well developed, couldn’t this be use to scan the neural structure of a live brain? (i.e., to upload a brain)

People use to always talk about the “Windows tax” and say that computers would cost less if they didn’t come with Windows. Actually the opposite is true. With all of the deals they can make preinstalling bloat on their computers, OEMs could make more than enough to offset the cost of a Windows license. They couldn’t do that with alternative OS’s.
if you play it on voobly versus steam, there is almost no lag and plays super smooth

It is not free. Your users pay for that with their privacy and Google gets your user's browsing history for free. It is unfair and you should not have used it in the first place.

Of course firearms were made in pre-industrial times, and it's fascinating to see how: (just how do you chamber a gun accurately by hand?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTy3uQFsirk

But how would a technologically savvy first world person do it? These days you can buy a "gunsmithing" lathe for your garage workshop. Check out this video by Shiraz Balolia, CEO of Grizzly Industrial (they sell Chinese made industrial equipment to home shop machinists):

I was going to link to Joe Pieczynski's excellent machining videos on how to make an AR-15, but it looks like there are new YouTube guidelines:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZAYMzAMwEI

In any case, the information is widely available (and check out his other videos if you want improve your machining skills).

Does anyone know of an ES6 variant of this?
the unreliable gameplay is mainly on steam. if you go play aoe2 on voobly, the lag basically disappears and feels smooth as butter.

If you own the hd version, there is a patch to freely convert it to voobly.
The saving grace, such as it is, is that these firearms are single-shot, and the rounds themselves are still metal and explosive-residue-detectable. While 3D printing has changed manufacturing methods, it's not like the method of deposition changes the strength of the material that much, so it's improbable that these plastic firearms will ever be able to withstand more than one or two shots.

It strikes me as likely that a 3D-printed gun will not be the most effective way to accomplish almost any kind of harm for almost any kind of perpetrator, no matter how situated. And that gives me a little comfort, even if I wish my countrymen were less fascinated with weapons.
They also make bikes with wide tires now that perform admirably in snow. With the right gear, it's not too bad unless you are trying to ride through a foot of snow.
Couldn't that be subpixel anti-aliasing?

Besides that, there's nothing difficult to believe about that experience with google.

And besides THAT, there's a far more trivial method of 'forging' an email - using the devtools to modify the DOM. No need to bust out photoshop at all.

Your accusation makes no sense and is based on almost nothing.
What is wrong with white blood cells [0] and T cells [1] and the already existing immune system?

It isn't flashy. It doesn't make headlines. Doctors and scientists can't get rich off it.

It's also incredibly hard to explain the point of view you have.

I'm actually very sympathetic to your position, having pursued diet and lifestyle changes to manage a dread disease. But I will say that your comments here read as rather snarky, not good faith efforts to explain.

Edit: Having read through more of the article, it is (at least in part) research into helping patients with cystic fibrosis, who actually have a seriously impaired immune system.

It's actually what I have. And I'm quite sure you are wholly unqualified to tell people with CF what they need to eat to restore the functioning of their immune system in spite of a defective cell channel permanently impairing their functioning at the cellular level in all systems, but especially so in epithelial tissues, which includes both the lungs and gut.
For anyone complaining about aoe2 lag, it is mainly just the version on steam.

if you apply the compatibility patch, you can load your steam copy onto voobly for free and play with next to no lag. The difference is night and day plus better features with Voobly.
It's also broken in Firefox Nightly (on Windows), and on Microsoft's own Edge.
This is one of the reasons why Brood War exists.
Uber with car seats for 4 kids is a pain. With kids, a car provides a “base” for when you go out — you can carry everything you need without having to tote it all around once you arrive at the destination. Public transport for older kids is fine, but with small kids, it’s a nightmare, especially in NY where apparently only a few subway stops have elevators and they’re generally filled with piss.
I don't often talk about my politics on HN, but.... I am a republican, which puts me in line to be a Trump supporter naturally. However, if you watch closely---although Trump espouses Republican goals, his reasons for doing so are usually 'odd'. There's no considered logic behind his decision making.

It is hard to praise him, even when he is on your side, because doing so is tethering your ideology to a crazy fellow and you never know what he might do next, because his reason does not rely on any wider principle.
I can run 1 mile much faster than I can run 3 miles. And that holds true day after day.

Another way to look at things is to use the 4-day week as the baseline. Add another day of work and people can only consistently perform at 80% without burning out.

Now, I'm not saying that I believe this is the case--that most companies can cut down to a 4-day week without hurting productivity long-term. Just that your argument isn't intuitive or obvious on its face, and I could see the data going both ways, or simply being a mixed bag.
But I think should admit that open-source 3D-printing/CNC does makes it even easier and harder to stop.
It was working but now I'm getting "Server Not Found" when I click the link.

I find the content very helpful. How do you plan to keep producing such good quality content in the long term? I've seen many Show HNs like this with meteoric launch getting abandoned after some months.
The 3-D printed guns are single shot, but the new ghost gunner machine is a CNC mill and I believe uses an aluminum alloy which can handle multiple shots.

This has been such an authentic and relevant art movement. I think it’s among the most intriguing art movements of our age because it’s comprehensive to us but it’s far from inevitable from context. Nobody could have predicted how succinct and expressive it would have been. The medium doesn’t favor it, history didn’t suggest it, the market didn’t reward it, but society somehow demanded it.

American art institutions will pretend to celebrate it eventually, but they will never acknowledge it for what it truly means.

For the record, I never had anything to do with this movement. I’m strait and don’t game. I just admire tremendously the humanity that abounds from this movement.
Yeah, there are a few nuances to latency numbers.

The 250ms pure read-react time deals with arbitrary events, but when we can chunk reactions into a practiced technique our precision goes way up, to nearly the individual millisecond: thus musicians can play rapid passages with unusual rhythms in time if they have time to plan and prepare, but they lose this ability if dealing with unusually high latency(extreme reverb, amp across the stage, digital audio with huge buffer sizes). The technique, after all, is based on fast confirming feedback that your execution is correct.

And like you say, "bouncy" latency is even more disruptive. We can adjust to a small and consistent lag, but inconsistency will degrade any level of skill.
speaking as an engine mechanic for a small chain of auto repair shops, it feels like americans have grown outright apathetic to the commute offered by cars --any car-- in this age.

How do i figure? Maintenance. My most common customer comes in complaining about a noise or a smell and stares at her shoes when asked when the last major service was, what the mileage is, or when the last oil change was. Its almost like drivers have learned to internalize their hatred of the commute into the car itself. Like they just dont want to think about any of it.

Bare brake pads, scored rotors, and boiled oil are all so common it hurts. I once had to spend two weeks rebuilding most of a partially seized engine because a customer couldnt understand why his two year old car idled so rough. a $40 oil change could have prevented what ended up being $8000 in parts and service.
You think it is free to have that building, that staff, the parking lot, the electricity??
Cubits it is then!

On a side note I always thought AUs were a bit silly and self centered....
The pricing change is understandably very frustrating for users of Google Maps who are affected, but it seems like a big win to me for everyone in the mapping market. Google is trading away a monopoly position (and related regulatory risk) in exchange for increased revenue so it's a win for them. It's a win for other mappers because now they can compete on price. It's a win for users because they are getting more choice.
> 'unmitigated success'

Lol, this was a eight week trial, how can that count as a 'unmitigated success' ('Resounding Success' from the researchers)

Data here -
https://www.4dayweek.co.nz/

An NZ employee already has 20 + 10 holidays a year. Increasing it by 25% (+8 days, 30 -> 38)the company won't change much.

Try 30 days -> 82 days and see about productivity.

We know it's healthier, we know productivity per hour will go up, we know people over a short period can keep productivity at levels at 125%.

Long term though?

What might work is letting people take a paycut and work 4 days a week and hiring more people. It's not as efficient (More management) but because of happiness levels increase people and retention is better, it might be average for the company.

This is what we need to normalise, more free time over more TV's.

It will likely effect Google more than anyone else. Microsoft and Amazon generally don't make (much) money from data collection. So as far as cloud providers, those two should be safe.
Scalable, too
Ironically, the fundaments of why computers even work were established 70 years before the 70s and haven't really changed a bit. I think his quote is definitely tongue-in-cheek.
It's even sillier because "radioactive water" isn't a measurement of the amount of radiation or a description of the decay process that reduces the danger over time
AWS Cost Savings with awsrightsizer
Aarch64 support will show up as soon as I can get a Linux distro running on it to test the implementation with. My understanding is the ARM ABI isn't as well defined, and you tend to need slightly different implementations per device, so it may not be as useful as simply using the setjmp version.

You can set -DLIBCO_MP to get the co_active handle to be multi-threaded. Each preemptive thread would then have its own set of cooperative threads.
Don’t all of the package managers use the web?
I've gone down a similar line of thinking when writing a lot of SQL over
timeseries or otherwise ordered datasets recently. Going in a more functional
and composable direction while keeping it limited so that hopefully the query
execution engine can still make good optimizations seems like the right
idea.

Making it a separate and open language outside of Influx is also a great
approach - I'd love to see other databases try adopting this. I'll definitely
be keeping an eye on this project.
I suspect when your kids become older, your life will become more dictated by your kids activities that you don’t control as much. Sports practices and games, school, etc. These will be unlikely be centered around walking distance from home. And, then, I will welcome you back to the fold of parent indenturedness. :)
funny... I knew a guy that had a penpal in another country, who asked him if it was the same moon that he saw when he looked up at night, as the one she saw...
> "Partial refund". That's a very low standard for a service level agreement, but typical of Google. Your whole business is down, it's their fault, and all you get a partial refund on the service.

The SLA is the contract. While this may not be possible, you'd normally have to negotiate a higher payout for a higher service cost, but otherwise it's fixed based on the amount you pay, not on the amount your business makes.
With MUNI and BART you always have to make sure you and whoever is with you wash their hands after you get off. They are constantly filthy and you never know who sat in the seat you're in before you, but knowing the kinds of people who hop on, you know the potential for pathogens is considerable.

Of course, hygiene is important any place, but specially the city. Now, on the other hand, maybe it does strengthen your immunity... but it's also not fun getting sick cuz you forgot about washing after MUNI.

Kids are prone to go from dirty surface to face without thinking.

At least in Japan, while vomit in the late evenings is an issue, you know those systems get washed --not so for MUNI.
I've tried using Bing Maps for clients and they always complain and want Google. Maybe with the pricing increases that will begin to change. Google Maps lacks any real competition. Sure there's Here, and Apple Maps, and Bing...but none of them are -serious- competitors.
>And you shouldn't need to use either daily in a civilized society.

This is either some next-level elitism or a false argument. Does the recluse have no place in society? What about the logger, or the Tractor operator? What about the surgeon who is on call, do you want them to bike to the hospital at 2 AM? I sure as hell don't.

If your argument is that no individual should have to own a car, we already live in that America. If your argument is that no one should have to own in a car, get real.
SQL definitely has weaknesses, but I wish people wouldn't use "straw man" examples to crap all over it. The flux example from his blog post would look something like this:

select
lag(value, 0) over recent * 1 +
lag(value, 1) over recent * 0.5 +
lag(value, 2) over recent * 0.25 +
... as exp_moving_avg
from telegraph
where time > datetime_sub(current_datetime(), interval 1 hour)
and measurement = 'foo'
window recent as (order by time rows 10 preceding)

Here, the main difference between flux is that flux has a built-in exponential moving average function, whereas in SQL we have to actually write out the formula.
Yes, thank you I love getting to the bottom of things. I tried disabling mine though and it still works. I think that's it for me though right now- could be a number of different things but I'm working on something else at the moment heh.
Yeah, they would have forced me to take it, but I was the only person who knew how to keep all their legacy systems stable. I eventually managed to upgrade all of them, and resigned a week later after only taking about two weeks of leave over 5 years. I got a very nice final check out of it.
Yes, lived in urban environments. When I was young and single I didn't mind density and the resulting loss of personal space. Now that I am older I want as much space between me and my neighbors as possible. Short of a trip to the hospital, I have no plans on sharing a wall with a stranger ever again.

I live in the Midwest and have 3 young kids. We do have a minivan, but more and more we refuse to drive when we can almost as easily walk to parks, farmers market, library, museums, etc. Our oldest can easily walk for a few miles, and we have a stroller for the younger ones. After getting our weekly farmers market loot into the stroller, one of the younger ones walks part of the way, and the other one gets worn in a carrier.

We do this year round: snow, rain, or sunshine.
Fuschia is well-known (in tech circles); he's not breaking a new story.

It's mostly about driving in cities / commuting to work, not driving across America and living in the rural countryside.
Actually "We had a problem, we fixed it, we made sure it won't happen again."

That last bit would be more marketing except that it's true - I've used Google Appengine for years, and the rare outages are always unique issues.

I'd love to see comparative numbers, but my impression is that this focus on improvement has lead to Google's uptime being a lot better than AWS or Azure.

The bigger problem is when people comment and even discuss the title without reading the article. It's extremely common on Reddit but luckily less prevalent on Hacker News .
LA is almost entirely car-focused.

SF only has a population of one million.

Basically the US has NYC and parts of Chicago as emblems of urban density.
Totally agree with you on this one. While they keep absolute technical details to themselves and not on the page, at least give a link or something where interested people can read what went on.

Also, if I give similar root cause in my environment, I'd be laughed off. We need to absolutely provide what went wrong, what was the immediate fix and what's the permanent fix and is it done (or does it require downtime / restart).
Forgive my ignorance as I really don't know anything about this but would it not be possible, when using post WW2 steel, to take before and after readings and diff them?
I'm glad for the light on the dash that blinks when my car needs an oil change. And I'm lucky to have an honest mechanic who keeps me up to date on issues without gouging me.

I've become apathetic about driving too. It's become mostly unpleasant due to congestion. What you say cuts pretty close for me: A car is an appliance.

But also, cars have gotten so reliable that it's easy to stop thinking about what's going on under the hood.
I can second that. I’ve ordered 3 TVs from Amazon over the past two years - all relatively cheap TCL Roku TVs ( < $350), a 32, 49, and 55. One was lost in transit and I ended up cancelling the order. Another didn’t arrive when they said it should so I ended up picking it up from UPS. I had to unbox it to get it in my car. I probably wouldn’t trust Amazon for a more expensive purchase.

I don't know what "breakthroughs" you are talking about, but there are examples and comparisons between Flux and SQL just below that sentence.

If you used the same amount of time to finish the article that you used to write this rant, you wouldn't have to write that in the first place.

Unfortunately I think you're underestimated how uneducated some of the population is. I think everyone knows it's not dairy, the confusion comes in if it's nurturing like milk. When people say "milk" the first thing that comes to mind (usually) is a mother's milk (any mammal.) So when they see "almond" and "soy" milk they probably think they are equal alternatives which just isn't true.
Wow, they’re even pulling bitcoin into this witch hunt!

None of this changes the fact that Bitcoin is the real occupy wallstreet movement. The world needs a money which can protect us from central banks. Bitcoin is it.
I’m not so sure. As noted in the article, key iOS features were basically nonfunctional or nonexistent. My impression is that most users would detect this device to be fraudulent quite quickly.

Do you mean that the increased availability of these fakes could tarnish Apple’s brand? I suppose we’d wind up in a situation where folks can only buy Apple devices from Apple authorized dealers. “Exclusivity” seems already thoroughly baked into Apple’s brand so I’m not sure this would actually hurt them. Is this not how it already is?
