The thing that got me excited about React was (and please correct me if my vocabulary is incorrect) the virtual Dom and the algorithm to detect changes and only update the dom that changes. Does Cycle.js save that same work and reduce bugs, or is there a hidden cost without that kind of feature?

To be specific, this reference criticises setState because it does a bunch of implicit updates to subcomponents. I've seen how in practice this does make things hard, but I've also seen the power of it when it works well. Cycle.js looks like it requires me to do a lot more to manage that re-rendering with the benefit of knowing exactly how it is happening.

It is a myth that what I've described above actually saves time and reduces bugs?

I've loved reading Andre Staltz's posts on reactive programming, they are so good. This is an amazing project.

Edit: clarified my comment to add example.
Never used it standalone but I'd think that is what "ed" is?
Facebook is not only a sketchy company, but the FB product itself has also gotten continually worse. It's now a bloated mess absolutely plastered in ads and viral/scammy/politics-as-sports trash. Even the annoying autoplay "facebook trash" videos in the feed have interstitial ads now - i.e. ads inside of ads. The whole site has become a down-market cesspool that I have very little desire to use. That's ironic because I feel like FB got it's start because MySpace became a cesspool of trash and FB felt like the upscale alternative.

But all that being said, I still have a FB account so I can check in on family members who don't (yet) use something else. But even among that unhip group of older people, they are quickly drifting away to instagram and I barely ever check in on Facebook anymore.
It's an easy way to see what people are up to. Especially once you have kids it's not often you get to catch up with friends. And they aren't going to another service en masse.

It's also a way to see some random content, much like my LinkedIn. Just a bunch of articles and memes. I do find that it's low quality, often very political on the articles side. But the memes and jokes are okay.

It's gotten a lot less addictive over the years. Maybe I'll end up using it less and less naturally.
I am all for vertical build but this idea is scary. The standards for maintaining tall buildings are especially high. There is a high chance this ends up being Kowloon city or going down in flames like Grenfell Tower.

Let alone the political optics of putting a lot of poor people into a very limited space.
If Leela and AlphaZero have anything to say, it's that there is such a thing as being overly materialistic.

I deleted my account over a year ago, and I periodically consider rejoining for a few reasons:

a) My social life has suffered considerably. I've heard that if your friendships are so shallow that they vanish when you're not on facebook they weren't worth much anyhow. That may be so, but at least when I was on facebook I would know when my "friends" (read: casual acquaintances that I met once) were throwing a party or going out somewhere that I could join. I'm single and I moved to my current city a few years ago and don't have old friendships. If I want any hope of meeting new people, making friends, dating, etc I need to be present enough to get opportunities. Leaving facebook cut off the most valuable tool I had to expand my social circle, and I now rarely go out or meet new people. I'm lonely, but I'm really uncomfortable creating a facebook account so I haven't done much about it.

b) Meetup was a nice idea, but other than tech talks, nobody seems to use it where I am. If you like $hobby and want to find other local ${hobby}ists to share your activity with, you need to be on facebook. Do you like riding dirt bikes, but know that going to the desert with a bike without a buddy is dangerous...well, if you don't have facebook how are you going to find a buddy? You won't, instead you'll ride alone and hope you won't break a leg somewhere there isn't cell reception.

b) Groups have replaced Craigslist. Where I live, not being on facebook costs money. Want to buy used furniture? Facebook. Interested in a cordless drill that costs $$$? Buy second-hand on facebook. Or just pay retail and buy new. Looking for an apartment? You can find a roommate on...wait for it...Facebook.
thats true whether there are subsidies or not.

these are higher paying jobs than current averages no matter how the average is done, using less space than average, and the subsidies pay for themselves.

so............... thats why the model can exist in a vacuum

Actually there are a couple of companies doing it, but they have commited the capital crime of asking for money, as such they remain a niche product.

WebFlow and OutSystems are two examples that come to my mind.

5 reads per second - yeah that’s kind of low. At maximum scale up. I am processing 80 messages simultaneously on 8 instances - each instance is running 10 (I/O bound) asynchronous threads. I could push it higher but the database starts screaming.

But with Kinesis, it’s true that you can do only 5 reads per second, but each read can have up to 10,000 records. With SQS, you can only get 10 records per call. I would think you could get much higher throughout with Kinesis, you would just have to handle storing your iterator/sequence number per shard somewhere to know where you left off in case of crash.

Kinesis is much better for higher throughput and you can always scale up instead of out if you need consistent throughout. It depends on your use case.

I posted similar math on reddit several days ago too, and didn't receive a response when I asked to counterpoints to that specifically

Most people's counterpoints are about what ifs related to corporate and human welfare, and will go on a tangent about that, emboldened by headlines about the dollar amount each new york tax payer would have contributed to the subsidy.

Taxpayers got a good deal.

Their corporate and human welfare argument will hold true whether there were subsidies or not, at any arbitrary salary figure, at any arbitrary number of jobs. So it is a total red herring to this deal, which is profitable whether 24,999 people get minimum wage and 1 person gets $100,000,000 annually, as long as they are taxed by New York in some capacity. (income, sales tax, property tax via direct ownership or rent paid to someone else that pays income and property tax)

See "The E-Myth Principle is Still Alive and Flourishing" at https://www.forbes.com/sites/martinzwilling/2013/04/25/the-e...

"The E-Myth ('Entrepreneurial Myth') is the mistaken belief that most businesses are started by people with tangible business skills, when in fact most are started by 'technicians' who know nothing about running a business. Hence most fail...Let me assure you that in my experience, ...I still see too many businesses started by technicians who haven’t acquired the basic skills or knowledge, or still assume that business acumen is a minor part of the new business equation."
Isn't that what the "towers in a park" style of public housing from the 60s and 70s are? From that we've found that it isn't a good solution, eg Cabrini–Green Homes or Robert Taylor Homes

Rent control being bad for the housing market is one of the few generally agreed upon conclusions across the political spectrum of economists

https://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/RentControl.html

> Economists are virtually unanimous in concluding that rent controls are destructive. In a 1990 poll of 464 economists published in the May 1992 issue of the American Economic Review, 93 percent of U.S. respondents agreed, either completely or with provisos, that “a ceiling on rents reduces the quantity and quality of housing available.”

Your gut instinct, like most on this issue, is incorrect. When removing rent control, it is going to take time for things to finally settle to the real prices as well as actual development to get started, but its certainly good for the long run to do away with it.

The notable difference is that the market distribution causes greater incentives for construction in high demand areas, so it doesn't just affect who gets the apartments, it affects how many apartments there are to get.

And only one of them makes it possible for both you and the person with more money than you to have an apartment.
It's how you practice thinking about fewer things. For people who have a chaotic life (inner or outer), "thinking too much" is a common refrain, and it touches on "doing too much" restlessness as well.
You can still get that benefit with the lower tier. I would definitely raise the prices for your higher tiers, because those are going to be for businesses, and they have money to spare. You might see your ARPU go up considerably. :)
And aren’t most of those deed restrictions for perpetuity so, unlike zoning, the property can never be used for something else?
That is not a problem of population density, that problem is inadequate peak capacity in transportation infrastructure. For example if you stack subway lines one under the other simalar to those described by Elon Musk, or increase the capacity of the existing public transport system through through faster & more frequent trains, you can resolve such issues. You just need to commit to spending on the infrastructure to support the population density.

Interestingly, it is policies like prop 13 in California that restrict the revenue needed to invest in the infrastructure to support higher population densities.
right but how do you factor in longer commutes for existing residents? or current residents having to move or have their children go to different schools? What is your dollar value on that? and before you say that isn't relevant, thats the exact mindset that brought us trump. valuing the dollar value over quality of life of existing people. it also outsources alot of the quality of life to visa holders instead of residents.
You're correct, it might be too soon to say mastered. But they are striking a balance that has not been seen in the modern world, the fact that their economy is so strong and so central to the global economy is a very big advantage.

It's one thing to try to balance authorities and free market policies in Venezuela, or even Russia, but China has a massive advantage in population and strength of the economy. The USSR was no where near where China is even at the height of its powers. China is moving more into a service based economy and has plans to become a major importer. Xi honestly IS the biggest threat but relatively speaking, there have been really successful nation-states that have similar consolidated power and have been historically successful.

I think we are way to sure of ourselves that China will fail with this model, but so far they are doing an excellent job all things considered.

Tokyo has one of the best land-use regimes in the world, the way they have kept housing prices down is a miracle compared to other cities.

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2016/08/th...

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2016/08/la...

> Here is a startling fact: in 2014 there were 142,417 housing starts in the city of Tokyo (population 13.3m, no empty land), more than the 83,657 housing permits issued in the state of California (population 38.7m), or the 137,010 houses started in the entire country of England (population 54.3m).

> Tokyo’s steady construction is linked to a still more startling fact. In contrast to the enormous house price booms that have distorted western cities — setting young against old, redistributing wealth to the already wealthy, and denying others the chance to move to where the good jobs are — the cost of property in Japan’s capital has hardly budged.

> This is not the result of a falling population. Japan has experienced the same “return to the city” wave as other nations.

Allow me to digress a tiny bit. After failing health, I had to find ways to calm my mind. So meditation~ was a ritual of mine for a while. It did help a bit, so I kept talking about it online.

I went on a caribean island for 3 weeks. The climate, vegetation and loose rhythm of their lifestyle did more than meditation ever did (now I'm not trained so ..). But there's a deep deep thing that happen when you live in a highly green place. We sat down near a tiny river, just watching animals around and watching the flow of water.. it was blissful.

It will improve your craft and you don’t need to allocate time away from the latter to do so. You can do both at the same time.

Put more simply; when you’re doing the dishes, do the dishes. Focus on the sensation of the water on your hands and the movement of your muscles as you scrub and dry them. When your mind wanders away from that as it tends to do, acknowledge that your mind has wandered and gently bring it back to what you’re doing. That’s meditation.

Likewise, when you’re working on honing your craft, notice when your mind wanders away from the task at hand and gently bring it back in focus when that happens without judgement.

You’ll find that doing this will help you hone your craft in ways you’ve never considered.
Don't get excited.

The thing that this demo shows in minutes could've been typed up in text in seconds. It is not a productive way to do things. There's a reason that these systems never catched on, they are unnecessary.

You may say, but "non-programmers" will use it! No, they won't. Designers will use real design tools to create (non-functional) visual designs. Programmers will bring those visual designs to functionality. That procedure works. It'll keep working. These systems are diversions, not improvements. Worthy of investigation, but not practical.
Destitution was not "imposed" to them

I'd contend it absolutely was, this is why I gave examples of measures imposed by the troika like firing cleaners.

Austerity is the wrong solution at the wrong time and is especially galling given the central bank's largesse to other sectors/countries at the same time.

They should have imposed a large haircut on creditors and given long term loans to Greece, instead they imposed drastic budget cuts (aka destitution for the people of Greece) and sold it as justice. It was unfair, cruel, and fundamentally wrong.

You could argue that stealing IP is necessary fuel for any striving world power. As bad as China is with respect to IP abuse we need to realize that they are ready to turn the corner and start developing IP of their own. China is too self-reliant to continue to rely on US/EU based semiconductors and aerospace technology for long. I honestly think it's too late to halt China's growth from the outside.

Watching the game live with this open in another tab is cool. On Friday, it showed that Caruana had a winning position with a mate in around 30 moves. It was so non-intuitive that no chess player would have ever found it. But it is cool to see that the game "could have been" won.
It's taken a few years of on and off meditation to start feeling like it is useful. I still don't do it very often. Nothing for me is as blissful as watching the waves of a big body of water though.
I knew this was going to happen, because I read it on the internet. If the government had censored it, then as far as I know it didnt happen, never even existed. There could be people trying to organise similar things in Australia right now, and the message isn't getting through the censors. 1 passionate activist cant shut down a bridge. Governments inherintly fear any disruption to the status quo, but its how virtually all social progress is made.

This is an unnecessarily absolutist position. If HTML, CSS and JavaScript are a "near-perfect solution to a very complex, graphically interactive problem", then why did people come up with front-end frameworks in the first place?

Because they're useful! Frontend developers aren't just cargo culting their architecture decisions; they're trying to finding that the benefits outweigh the downsides, particularly with complex apps and large teams.

This article [1] by Tom Dale (one of the authors of Ember) puts it well:

> I have heard from many developers who have told me that they accepted the argument that vanilla JavaScript or microlibraries would let them write leaner, meaner, faster apps. After a year or two, however, what they found themselves with was a slower, bigger, less documented and unmaintained in-house framework with no community. As apps grow, you tend to need the abstractions that a framework offers. Either you or the community write the code.

Do all web apps need JavaScript frameworks? Of course not! But let's not pretend that apps like Trello don't benefit from them.

However they still ask for details because it’s more accurate and faster to ask and while they can get your location if the location is in a building with 200 apartments it doesn’t really help but denying they have the info when it’s an FCC mandate is a bit silly.
Not long ago I closed my Linkedin account because where I live, far eastern India, recruiters hardly use linkedin for anything & the rest did not find me employable either. I had been using Facebook in the hope of staying in touch with friends but of late I feel that my friends posting their lives not to connect, but to gather likes & comments. I shall close it too! Instagram, I use to follow interesting people, but is connected to my Facebook. I don't need that addiction too & hope to close all cyber social nuisance in near future!
Simple: I like looking at my friends’ posts and don’t value my privacy.
> Sure, tenant protection is, but “especially rent control” is wrong

It depends how you're measuring. If you mean by "amount of net cost / lost income to property owners" then sure, it's not especially anything because it's exactly anything to the degree that it does that.

But if you measure in terms of value for money, rent control sucks. Requiring landlords to have functioning clean water costs them money, but it also makes them money -- tenants are willing to pay more for an apartment that isn't falling apart. Some things may cost more than they benefit the landlord in making the apartment more valuable, but at least they may come closer to break-even, and the cost in incentive is only the difference between the two. Rent control is pure dead weight loss.

Of course, this is also the argument for why most of the other regulations aren't needed, because anything above break-even would get done anyway -- you don't need a law requiring someone to improve their building in a way that results in a net profit. The apartments that become unmaintained slums are the rent controlled ones, because the rent is sufficiently below market that the tenants would suffer the flaws rather than moving out.
People using meditation for therapeutic purposes generally establish a half to one-hour daily habit. They're not aspiring to becoming experts. Those with such aspirations (supposedly requiring 1000s of practice hours) have different motivations, which would are pretty opaque from a productivity-tweaking point of view.
One could argue that while you were sitting st that tiny river watching the animals and the flow of the water you were meditating.

I believe, personally, this is likely how meditation was “discovered” in the first place.
That's actually pretty smart. Even though it's much easier to remove a laptop cover than to repaint a car, a laptop thief is less likely to target the most brightly coloured, attention-grabbing laptop in the room.
