I've seen the FB / Soros story so much in the past couple of weeks that I wanted to point out a funny double-standard: Facebook isn't allowed to hire someone else to mention a famous Jewish person, but NYT is allowed to pin blame on Israel for the assassination of a journalist. Both seem trivial to me, but one is an anti-semitic dog-whistle and the other is, meh, let's pretend it's n.b.d. to involve Israel (i.e. Jews).

Personally, I'm saying it's roughly as anti-semitic as Sheryl Sandberg hiring someone to say something true about George Soros -- as in, neither is anti-semitic. But I think the bigger issue is the double-standard.

I understand and agree with the sentiment. I worry, though, about placing too many administrative hurdles in front of a fundamental right. ID is already required; but I assume you mean photo ID. But photo IDs aren't free, and neither is transportation or time off work. Some part of me is concerned that photo ID laws amount to a poll tax. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on that.

I'm a Redux maintainer. I'm really excited about the changes in this release. They're primarily internal, but it should help React-Redux work a lot better with React's changes down the road.

In case anyone's wondering, this _should_ be a drop-in release for most users. Just bump your package version and update. If you do run into any problems, please file an issue!

I recently wrote a blog post that goes into more details on how the implementation has evolved over time, and why we changed several aspects of behavior for this release:

SEEKING WORK AND FREELANCER(S). React, React Native, iOS & Android. Turtle is reinventing remote software dev for Startups and Freelancers.

100% remote. Startups can hire a vetted, high-end dev on Turtle for as little as $2K/mo. Freelancers say what tech stacks & hours they prefer. The magic is in our app (task manager + chat apps) and how we're able to help freelancers split their time between teams.

At this time, Turtle is geared towards Software Startups (mostly in the US) working with Freelancer Devs (mostly in South America and Europe). We will expand over time.

To be fair, this appears to be the work of a rogue candidate, Mark Harris, and his supporters, not the GOP establishment. The Republican incumbent, Rep. Pittenger, was also targeted, when Harris challenged and narrowly defeated Pittenger in the Republican primary earlier this year.

https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/what-the-heck-is-happen...

> It turns out that the data irregularities in Bladen County extend to past elections, too. The 9th District saw a contentious and razor-close Republican primary in May 2018, when Harris ousted incumbent Rep. Robert Pittenger by 828 votes. Bladen accounted for 56 percent of the absentee-by-mail ballots (456 of 811) cast in that primary despite being home to just 6 percent of those who voted — and Harris won 437 of those absentee-by-mail votes to Pittenger’s 17, a massive gap nowhere near either the absentee-by-mail results in other counties or the other results in Bladen. And in the 9th District’s 2016 Republican primary, 22 percent of the race’s absentee-by-mail ballots were cast in Bladen County. That time, they went disproportionately to Pittenger challenger Todd Johnson — he won a whopping 221 of Bladen’s 226 absentee-by-mail votes.

https://www.rollcall.com/news/politics/rep-pittenger-fully-a...

> “We were fully aware of it. There’s some pretty unsavory people out, particularly in Bladen County. And I didn’t have anything to do with them,” Pittenger said in an interview with Spectrum News in Raleigh.

> Pittenger, who lost his GOP primary to Baptist minister Mark Harris by 828 votes earlier this year, said he did not know what would happen to the general election results. Harris holds a 905-vote lead over Democrat Dan McCready in the election that has now been cast in doubt.

> “I don’t have a clue. I have my feelings about what’s right or wrong, but let’s leave that to those who’re [leading the investigation into the irregularities],” Pittenger said.

If the North Carolina Republican party were smart they'd support the bipartisan ethics panel and wash their hands of Harris.

When will Redux have its cache ?
The excuse for a limited copyright in the United States is that an author who has produced a book and has had the benefit of it for that term has had the profit of it long enough, and therefore the Government takes the property, which does not belong to it, and generously gives it to the eighty-eight millions. That is the idea. If it did that, that would be one thing. But it does not do anything of the kind. It merely takes the author’s property, merely takes from his children the bread and profit of that book, and gives the publisher double profit. The publisher, and some of his confederates who are in the conspiracy, rear families in affluence, and they continue the enjoyment of these ill-gotten gains generation after generation. They live forever, the publishers do. -Mark Twain

All the arguments against ID requirements, poll taxes and other measures used to disenfranchise poor people can be turned right around and used to argue against licensing requirements, fees and other typical tactics used to keep (mostly poor) people from exercising their right to keep and bear arms.

Kinda hard to beat Whittaker's "A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity" -the more recent things tell a rather more linear story than the actual history. There were some crazy ideas, most of which were quasi-mechanical or fluid mechanical.
You would think, but that's exactly what tons of people do. Many people who do not include the cost of running a service in the cost. It's very easy when the install is nice and easy to just say "sweet it's running" and pat hands "it's done". Then you realize you have no idea what's going on when it's totes on fire. At least with hashi products they're open source so you have a chance. And there's enterprise support, but you're still bleeding till you can get them in to help you out and understand what insanity you did with their product.

This is why saas is preferable in a lot of situations. If you're not great at ops and make bad decisions, hopefully the SAAS folks are better at this than you. If you're really good at ops and think a ton about this stuff, then running it yourself makes sense a lot of time. And yes with SAAS now you have lockin and other problems which has their own set of solutions you should make sure you are doing, like layers of abstraction.

Then you get into the self-fulfilling-infrastructure scenario. We're a vault shop, everyone use vault even for stuff that makes no sense to use vault for. Then rinse and repeat.

Or you get into the sunk cost fallacy with your ops team... "what will they do if we replace this with a SAAS", so you keep services around just to not fire people, not because they're the best solution anymore.

Lots of places to make bad decisions.

Nash Motors
I assume you're talking about in relation to React's upcoming "Suspense" capabilities?

No specific timeline for that, largely because Suspense itself is still very much in development. The React team recently published a roadmap for features like Hooks and Suspense [0], and the data fetching aspects aren't expected until sometime next year. So, there's not a lot we can do on our end until there's a lot more clarity on how to actually work with this stuff in React itself.

Having said that, I don't immediately see anything that would prevent us from having a React Suspense cache that is backed by a Redux store. I've seen a couple people playing around with hacky prototypes that look intriguing.

There's some other concerns we'll need to figure out around React's upcoming "Concurrent" rendering capabilities as well. I wrote up some thoughts in a Reddit comment recently [1].

At this point I look at Word and Excel the same way I look at bash, gcc, grep, sed, awk, et cetera: there is so much iniertia that even when different and arguably better tools come along, it still never truly goes away.

A lot of people still use emacs, vim, BBEdit and so on, but a lot of people also use IntelliJ, VSCode and Atom or whatever is in vogue this year. Vim and emacs will never truly go away no matter how many CPU architectures or operating systems come along this century, and neither will Word. At some point software is just infrastructure. We can build better bridges than we could a century ago, but there isn’t an incentive to replace a bridge until it falls down, and it isn’t like Word prevented Markdown and TeX and HTML from finding their niches.
I'd speculate labor, testing, and other quality assurance cost more than the materials. The fairings have to handle ridiculous thermal and mechanical stresses, then have to separate reliably and cleanly before payload deployment. There can't be flaws.

Nah mate, what you need is a federal level election handling organisation which sets consistent procedures in place across all states for federal elections.

Take the Australian Electorally Commission as a model of something that isn’t totally broken by design, and work from there. There are strict controls over who is or is not allowed to do what with a ballot at every stage of its life.

You need a single federal body handling federal elections, and consistent procedures in place for state level elections.

You also need to get rid of gerrymandering, perhaps having electorate boundaries set by the electoral commission independent of the state.

This is an orthogonal issue, to do with whether instantiations of parameterized types/functions are monomorphised or not. I would say the big issue with templates is that they are slow and produce hard-to decipher compile-time stack traces, because they are not checked at the instantiation site.

It seems to me that the hardproblem here is reliably measuring breasts, and then reliably (and repeatably!) manufacturing the perfect bra.

It is not a question of designing the perfect bra given a set of measurements. It’s more “can we make it perfectly?” And “are the measurements accurate?”

as any seamstress or seamster would tell you, it takes a life time to sew perfectly. It’s a CNC mill where you need to tension the materials and threads just perfectly while you move the x/y table.

And if you’ve ever had a suit measured, you know the person taking measurements needs to be in sync with the manufacturer, otherwise it’s a waste of time.

And for what it’s worth, my partner would not pay $350 for a perfect bra (and I mean perfect!).

> GEOS would run on systems three orders of magnitude smaller than the ones you describe.

Let's not get carried away... I remember running Linux on machines as small as 4MB.... not to mention embedded versions that were materially smaller still.

While it's true that PC/GEOS was small and efficient, it's also a product of its time (early 90's), as well as the fact it basically didn't follow any backwards compatibility constraints.

> demonstrate just what you can do with a tiny, tiny amount of code.... Oh yeah, GEOS also had virtual memory and preemptive multitasking.)

My first professional software job involved writing software on a custom OS that had at least the preemptive multitasking in four C source files. (Handle based VM would've been an easy addition.) It was also portable across X86 real and protected modes, and MC68K...
