I like how it makes it possible to re-use behaviour among components, but I also really liked how classes encouraged structure and readability.

My hunch is it's only a matter of time before someone creates a helper that would enable `useState` to take complex objects rather than calling it multiple times.

Also, custom hooks seem almost too powerful - easy to build multiple abstraction layers and make the API feel magical at the point of use.
Or maybe they're nerds with zero game and they don't get out much.
Exactly. Low inflation doesn't help much if your salary increases get eaten up by housing, education hand healthcare. Rent, health care and education should be counted into inflation numbers.
I doubt this. It is more likely just a very wealthy person wanting to buy the first artwork completely done by an AI that hit a major auction house.

That is news, the fact that it is in the news automatically adds to the cache around the piece. That makes for a solid art investment.
As the owner of a very heavily modified muscle car, I wholeheartedly agree with this. Half the fun of a muscle car is modifying it. This was easy to do with the older ones, there's an entire industry catering to it.

With modern cars, manufacturers only make parts for them for 10 years or so. What are you going to do after that when the computer system in it fails? Aftermarket parts would be illegal, etc. The whole car just becomes trash.
Developers only need to know React if they're building editor components. I'd imagine the overwhelming majority of WP developers won't need to touch it.

Why couldn't one just pass in `this` to useState, a key, or something similar?

"But I don't think it's safe to assume that someone who sets a dark UI also wants web pages displayed like that."

I don't think it's safe to assume they don't. I can't stand web pages in general that are white background/black text.

I've coded in black background / white (or coloured) text for about two decades now, and I'm so glad Apple is making the dark theme a standard at this point. There's literally thousands of articles about the eye strain that's caused from the poor decision to present information this way. We don't need literally at this point millions of photons screaming light at our faces at more than 300 nits every moment.

As usual the media gets this a bit wrong and is obscuring the truth. Star knew more about Burning Man than this harassing interviewer.

I was a couple years ahead of Star in school and know she was a long time fan of burning man, even going while in undergrad. No way this guy was the first person to tell her about it as this article implies. (but doesn’t explicitly state) Maybe meeting a fellow burner is what brought out his extra creepy side but that’s no excuse.

She was probably going to be there anyway. She might make plans with a weeks notice but really doubt a mom living in another state would have.

though also Star is a amazing famous person in her own right! She deserves more attention than Mr. DoucheVaul

nVidia's drivers cover a pretty wide swath of cards. I've had decent luck in Ubuntu just going to the proprietary drivers section and clicking on the binary blob. The only downside is that it locks you into one version of the driver until you do a full OS upgrade, and that driver gets pretty out of date by the time the next LTS is ready.

Nearly all GMO plants out there are engineered to resist some kind of poison (herbicide or pesticide) so people can spray more of it.

The one rare GMO plant engineered to require less poison spraying nearly always does that by producing the poison itself, and having it in large amounts on every tissue. I wouldn't want to eat that stuff pretending that it's an improvement, thank you.

There exist some odd research GMO that resist bugs or require less herbicides due to some effect that does not involve producing poison. I haven't heard of any that left the lab, but I imagine it's possible there is some commercial crop of something like that somewhere.

Then I'm not sure what answer you're hoping for.

> You're just saying their entitled to the passive returns from ownership because they owned something else.

Not sure what you mean here, but I agree that investors are entitled to the returns stipulated in the investment agreement. Hopefully this isn't a controversial position.

> Anyone could take a risk with the funds if given access to them, even the janitors and line workers.

Yes, janitors and line workers can (and regularly do) invest their finances as well, frequently for the very company for which they work (although they are very likely not investing enough to be principal owners, because even very small companies tend to be very expensive relative to the average salary of a janitor or line worker).

I think the height of metoo power was temporary. When #metoo fades out, reactions will regress to the mean (or a slightly heightened mean).

Blacks rioted all over LA for Rodney King. Then that died off, and police killed unarmed blacks here and there without any major reaction for almost 30 years -- until black lives matter erupted. No this has faded again.

I know a guy who built an elevator system single board computer to control it. The big problem was the power to the board - the motor turning on and off and the old electrical system made it very spiky, which would cause the computer to glitch. He built in a lot of self-checking in the computer, but it would still fail once a day or so. He eventually fixed that by having the computer just hardware reset itself regularly.

What to do with your ESPPs
Retraining might equalize things enough to prevent violent insurrection. However, if a fair share of profit increases only go to executives/shareholders, then I'm not sure we can train people for jobs high enough up the hierarchy to actually reach a just system.
Yep, no doubt. The problem is they aren't getting rid of old foot guns, just adding new ones. And the new way with hooks isn't obviously superior to the old way (debatable to be sure, but with all the constraints hooks are not a broadly applicable solution to many problems). So now you've got two separate but equally powerful guns pointed at your feet.

Is that progress? I'm too old to think so.

This is my thought. Turn off wifi and you're no longer running the cpu and memory monster that is a web browser.

But this is something Apple does right. My wife noticed that she can get around 50% more battery life out of her Macbook using Safari instead of Firefox. (7-8 hours instead of 4-5).
But this isn't wage growth. When you switch between different socioeconomic profession groups, the wage of your previous socioeconomic group doesn't change because your wages have changed. Socioeconomic group isn't for life, you know. Once you become rich, you stop being poor.

Except that wage growth debate isn't about opportunity. He's trying to argue about oranges, when the initial issue is about apples.

Arguments about wage growth are about costs, productivity and compensation.

As in - if you're 2x more productive at doing the same job, then the gains are deposited somewhere.

The argument in the end is that productivity gains are not distributed at a fair level. Equal isn't ever a requirement for a stable society, fair is enough.
If the court wants to give it all to her I doubt she'll refuse.
> Who's the unreasonable party, here?

I don't know; that has to be negotiated through dialogue.

This problem can't be limited only to pronouns, unless you're okay with people saying things like "she's a man". Otherwise you're expecting people to falsify their opinions.

EDIT: It may be that trans individuals will simply always encounter friction on this issue, since transgenderism presents such big challenges to entrenched ideas on both sides of the political spectrum. (If it's not obvious where the friction is on the left, consider that the legitimacy of transgenderism depends on gender having a biological basis. If gender is socially constructed then conservatives have a straightforward case against transgenderism, along the same lines as "just choose not to be gay.")

All this article says to me is that no matter how hard I work or what decisions I make or what my life experiences are, I'll never be good enough for progressives. I'll fall "lower" than others on some arbitrary and ever-changing grading scale which puts value to my experiences.
>“I read it as the ability to reset to factory settings,”

OK so what if the factory default is "does not work" and it requires an authenticated command to put it in the non-default mode of "working"?

I do not put it past any manufacturer to work around such a ruling, not least of all Apple whose entire history has been: we do not sell hardware, we sell experiences. And they have always insisted they have the exclusive right to repair (or not, and you just have to buy a new one, but here's a $10 credit toward a new purchase, thanks).
and it's ugly.
It's not stupid. Think about large families with inherent power dynamics- everyone's either been in or knows at least one. It's just a human thing. We know what's right and wrong, but acting according to what we /know/ is a lot harder said than done when human nature is factored in.

Now make the assumption that a group of human beings were doing the right things at the right time in the right place to become mega rich, and then apply the same rules.

People aren't terribly different from one another on the fundamental level- the only different things are circumstances which determine 1) the number of restrictions, and conversely 2) the number of privileges.

The only valuable question is how to minimize this human dynamic as the size of the group grows, because leaving a 5-person group behind to find something different is a lot easier and a lot less consequential than leaving a 5000-person group.
If I were the judge, I'd rule that if the software is required to make the hardware fit for its advertised purpose, the license to the software is attached to the device rather than the consumer. Claims of non-transferability or not, possession of the device is de facto license to possess and use the firmware.

Worth noting that (as pointed out in the article) the head of Google's lawyers is himself a beneficiary of the very different context he's operating in in 2014. This imagined recommendation/risk assessment isn't made in a vacuum, independent of biases.
The phrase "to kill herself" often implies suicide, but the story says it's unclear what happened -- she may have slipped on the balcony trying to escape. Whatever her mindset at the time, it doesn't absolve the police of their role in the circumstances leading to her death.
I'm convinced most successful mechanics could be successful programmers. The skill set of looking at a problem and debugging until you really understand the architecture and design of what you're looking at is very similar in both fields.

It tells me that I really shouldn't buy a Ford car, since apparently billing for repair parts is more important to them than building a robust and repairable car.

Reading between the lines of [1], bioluminescence is used to detect bacteria/fungi/other organisms in food, but only by adding luciferase to a sample and measuring the light emitted when luciferase reacts with ATP. Because living organisms contain ATP, the ATP content can be used as a proxy for contamination by microorganisms.

But I didn't find anything on bioluminescence occurring naturally in the kinds of bacteria you'd want to be warned about. Did you ever personally see glowing food?

Yes and I'll concede that Gutenberg has a lot of room to grow and will even make plenty of people happy straight away. But I wouldn't call this about user happiness outweighing developer happiness, I'd say it's the other way around. It's based on asserting that we know what the future user wants, not the actual users. Right now user happiness is skewing negative.

And Gutenberg's development is precisely characterised by developers/designers prioritising their own happiness. It's a small group of people working mostly at agencies and companies doing enterprise level work who took Matt's idea around blocks and feverishly adopted the tools they personally wanted to use while developing and making decisions at a pace more rapid than other contributors could cope with. That is in part why we lost the accessibility lead.

Aren't the people running the new machines creating more value because the machines make them more productive?

Is this true? There are mechanics everywhere, so why would every one need to learn to program something that could be made by one and sold as a commercial (or open source) project? Sure, there are many types of cars and situations that need handling, but there are far more mechanics than that.

I'm genuinely asking this because I often question whether it's true that "everyone should learn to program", or it's more like, "we have a programmer shortage".

It's only niche until the price comes down, like for computers, cars, air travel, aluminum, coffee, etc.
Can anyone comment on how this compares to KiCad? That's been the best open source EDA tool for me so far.
I think the largest issue with this is it is currently a Safari-only, and an early Safari-only release at that. And that the latest MacOS right now is the only major commercial OS offering a dark theme to the extent that it does.

A quick look at Safari's desktop browser market share reveals it to be about 4% right now. When this kind of standard makes its way into Chrome and/or FF, it'll be relevant.

Until then, it's a toy, and nothing more. Nobody could ever realistically expect this kind of thing. It doesn't increase the complexity of web design by that much. If you think adding CSS exceptions for inverted colours is the straw that broke the camel's back on web complexity for you, perhaps you just feel like we should've stuck with the late 90's or worse, early 00's web standards?

Many websites, even YouTube, already have a 'night' or 'dark' switch. It makes a lot of sense, and genuinely is not that hard to implement.
