I am stealing this thread as it seems to have a lot of really knowledgable people in here.

I understand basic javascript but I am not an expert and I had a discussion with a developer I want to hire for a new app I am doing, who said that there is no open source components (like quill) which easily allow you to have textformating (bulleted lists, bold, text size etc) and that it would have to be done from scratch) which sounded weird to me since I found a quill component.

But I am not a developer so I need to educate myself a little better. What's a good tutorial to get my head around how React works.

Yup. The stick came attached to a human hand? Leopard seals can be deceptively cute.
There are still many places on a planet where kids are not burdened by depression and sadness. It happens to them as well, of course, but not in any extraordinary amounts.
Hooks make a lot more sense from a traditional FRP perspective. The code you write with hooks is basically identical to the code you'd write with early FRP systems. For instance, useState is called newWire in FranTk. The difference is that hooks have various limitations about where you can create them and how you can pass them around, which those FRP systems don't have. That's the result of React using plain old data as state, instead of having a signal abstraction as in FRP. In React the component function gets re-executed every time the state changes, whereas with FRP the component function gets executed once and builds up a dataflow graph that deals with the changes. That makes hooks very natural because they're just nodes in the dataflow graph.
Based on the consistent supply of comments sharing hesitation/confusion whenever hooks are talked about, I'm curious. Is this a normal reaction to a new thing that ends up being a very good idea? Are there past examples of this? I can't quite tell if it's a sign that something's off or if this is just normal.
The promotion of STEM and demotion of humanities is deeply linked to the promotion of college generally, to the majority of people.

Going back a generation or two, most people didn't go to college. Most of those that did tended to be relatively wealthy, with better careers.

Education proponents argues that education made people wealthy/successful. College was an investment, and the education paid for itself in later successes... Human capital theory.

It turned out that lower-middle class kids who gave to college tend to make lower-middle adults. Earning potential increases somewhat, but nothing like human capital theory predicts.

Re-thinking, it seems more that philosophy and history are/were upper class pursuits. They didn't make people wealthy. Wealthy people could afford it.

It just does not make sense for most average people to study history. Its a luxury.

STEM really means focus on employability. I agree that education is not just about jobs. But, the premise of "everyone go to college" policies is jobs. Hence the dissonance.
Not only that - memory isn't getting much faster either. If you need more memory bandwidth, you need more memory controllers, better NUMA access, more logic dedicated to keeping caches coherent and so on. In many applications, memory is the bottleneck and all that FP64 capacity will be begging for numbers to crunch.

Besides, not all problems are embarrassingly parallel.
> One thing which I really don't like here is instead of giving kids free time to experience life themselves they will add one more boring official class.

Being perpetually 'busy' and treating life as a collection of planned activities, like homework, classes, courses, workshops, appointments, etc. is something that runs deep in our entire (Western?) society, whether school-going or working age.

Mindfulness as yet another one of those activities feels uncomfortably like a band-aid solution that is dangerous precisely because it works.

It's a bit like taking aspirin to deal with headaches when really you should just stop drinking so much coffee and working so much.

I do think mindfulness can be more than that. I've experienced how beneficial it can be to make it part of life rather than just (or only) another planned activity, especially when it's a part or underpinning of a larger 'framework' (in my case I lean towards Zen Buddhism).
As a researcher, I've always loved this 1946 one-paragraph short story by Borges about the blind obsession some people develops for models:

. . . In that Empire, the Art of Cartography attained such Perfection that the map of a single Province occupied the entirety of a City, and the map of the Empire, the entirety of a Province. In time, those Unconscionable Maps no longer satisfied, and the Cartographers Guilds struck a Map of the Empire whose size was that of the Empire, and which coincided point for point with it. The following Generations, who were not so fond of the Study of Cartography as their Forebears had been, saw that that vast map was Useless, and not without some Pitilessness was it, that they delivered it up to the Inclemencies of Sun and Winters. In the Deserts of the West, still today, there are Tattered Ruins of that Map, inhabited by Animals and Beggars; in all the Land there is no other Relic of the Disciplines of Geography.
Setting up a fraudulent product or service just to collect crypto and run away with the funds is not social hacking. I believe the government calls that online fraud.
Why refactoring? It might be marginally better, but it doesnt mean what has been written in the past is wrong. Plus unless you have very robust test coverage, refractoring at this scale is going to introduce more bugs than the marginal benefits it will bring.
You will meet all kinds of people that's true, but it worth decreasing the amount.
I miss the days of uncensored content on Reddit. This is what drew me to using it in the first place. Nowadays it's the place I get my porn fix from sometimes.
Society has become intolerant and totalitarian. Everything causes outrage and lynching on social media.
I would see it the other way around: To me the real issue is that our minds have a tendency to create a lot of unnecessary stress for ourselves and make us focus on goals that are unlikely to produce any lasting happiness, like constantly striving for new achievements.

Meditation, at least some forms of it, are attacking this particular problem at the source and try to help people let go of these mental habits. I get the converse feeling that hobbies / meeting up with friends / putting a lot of effort into work are engaging, but they also feel like pleasant distractions instead of addressing what I see as the real underlying issue. This is highly subjective and depends on on what ones wants to do with one's life, but meditation certainly isn't a surrogate solution to me.

> consider a window of (say) 6 keys and ask if any of the 6! permutations of them are better

I imagined something similar - since we can reasonably assume that XJQZKV are doing to be at the outer edges, we can take it from 26! to 6!20!. But even constraining it as much as possible, we still end up with 6!6!6!8! and 29 years of searching.

But I'll definitely give the sliding window approach a go, yeah.
I second this, after 4 years with Android, I found system-level adware and analytics components in my Xiaomi and switched to iPhone XR the same day. Couldn't be happier. Everything is just nicer
The whole initiative is targeting the growth of machine-to-machine interactions without human effort.

Will be glad to hear your thoughts on this.
I haven't checked, but it was my understanding that – outside of the UX – these are all very shallow forks.

Does anyone know more about this?
Soo, why couldn't this be implemented as:

class ToggleButton extends React.Component {
flag = useState(this, true)
count = useState(this, 0)
other = useEffect(this, () => {
...
})

render() {
return <button onClick={() => this.flag.set(!this.flag.current)>{this.flag.current}</button>
}
}

Then it's very clear that we have two separate sections: initialization and rendering. There's no longer a hidden state stored somewhere else, but you know that if you have the same `this` then you have the same state.
Or perhaps implementing a Canadian/European style parental leave program paid by taxes would mean this woman wouldn't have to act like this to get some support before/after having a child.
While HN wasn’t convinced last time I posted this, here’s a few posts or sections that explain the static call order thing:

https://overreacted.io/why-do-hooks-rely-on-call-order/

https://overreacted.io/react-as-a-ui-runtime/#static-use-ord...

https://github.com/reactjs/rfcs/pull/68#issuecomment-4393148... (Persistent Call Index section)

Hope this helps, happy to answer questions. We’ve been using Hooks for several months at FB and haven’t seen confusion caused by the call order reliance.

(Note Hooks don’t rely on specific call order but just on it being static between renders. Which is pretty easy to understand and reasonably enforce in practice.)
Yes, it gets a bit tedious seeing 90% of comments on HN being from people who clearly haven't tried the thing, or even given it any thought or consideration beyond an initial "this is not familiar to me so therefore bad!" kneejerk reaction. It's not a great look for a developer and I don't know why they seem so proud of their close-minded attitude.
Japan has bunch of different rail providers that run parts of the network. I wonder how the interoperability problems are solved over there.
How does this work in line with your views on registration systems? I'm about to be releasing a product which also is a one-time digital purchase and I plan on just having a generous guarantee. I was planning on having no licensing system because frankly it's more headache than it's worth - the target audience will be happy to pay for the product and people who don't want to pay won't be paying anyway. Do you think this is a fair assessment? Do you think it's worth having a very basic registration system or none at all?
And in California (where this happened), all private sales must go through the DROS system

... and end up in the state DOJ database, searchable by serial number or by owner. During a traffic stop, when an officer calls in your ID, they can instantly know whether you legally own hand it"assault weapons", and how many.

At the time it made me deliriously happy. After I was at my new job for a month I amused my new coworkers by commenting "It still feels like I'm on vacation from my previous job. I just can't get it in to my head that I don't have to go back there!"

Looking back on it 20 years later, still one of the best moves I've ever done.
Depending on a situation I can do that as well. I do not exclude any possibility, what will work - I will do. Whatever "kinds" of people you invented - this is only your own problem.
That was my first thought as well after reading the first few sentences. I actually gave up on reading the article because of it.

Though I've noticed this to be more common in the blockchain/cryptocurrency sphere, perhaps that's just because I tend to read those kinds of articles more often.
Although they do appear to "coordinate" quite effectively.

Ask HN: Is it important to know backpropogation when studying ML/ Deep Learning?
I could understand how in an earlier age, knowing backprop was quite important. But is there any real world use for this now that most of these aspects have been hidden from a practitioners view via tools and frameworks like Tensorflow, Fast.ai etc
I've had a lot of experience with schools and mental health issues. I have a daughter under an EHCP due to a genetic problem that causes learning difficulties and the competence is simply not there to handle even basic care in this aspect. This isn't budgetary or process related, but individual human competence is beyond terrible. This spans three "Ofsted outstanding" rated schools and two local authorities. It has got to the point that there are actually specialist charities set up to whack the schools back into place legally when they screw up over and over again.

And we're trusting them with handling general mental health? What could possibly go wrong?

Mindfulness is such a vague concept that it detatches the responsibility from mental health as well.
> Children have no problems with happiness or well-being

How about children who are repeatedly raped by their parent? Are they happy?

How about children who's parent has died? Are they happy?

What about the children who are grappling with gender indentity or sexuality (and maybe with parents who are not supportive)? Are they happy?

What about children living with disability and who are being bullied because of it? Are they happy?
I think he was referring more to the idea {in the grandparent comment) that Hamilton presented the founding fathers as "whitewashed heroes", not it's historical accuracy.

One could say many things about Hamilton's characters. "Whitewashed heroes" is not one of them.

They've managed selling $1000 devices that many found of questionable value for a lot longer than Ahrendts' reign, so this argument doesn't quite hold. Meanwhile, the competition manages the exact same feat, so your comment feels like more of a swipe at Apple's products rather than a discussion of the actual intrigue of O'Brien's sudden appointment.

The culture in the midwest is something you personally dislike. That doesn't make it any less relevant, and simply amplifies how unaware you are of the diversity that exists throughout the midwest, west, and south in the non-coastal regions.

And it was the rest of the non-flyover states that voted for him that put him over the top to win, so your point is moot. There are Trump voters everywhere except your echo chambers, and even there it's likely there are many of them you don't know about.
But why does Hooks need to be implemented on top of functions and not classes? The way I see it is that Hooks today implements two distinct things: (1) a composable way to handle lifecycle and (2) a custom way to store state. Why can't we have the composable hooks available on React.Component like this?

class Foo extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props)

this.useEffect(…);
this.useState(…);

// or maybe even a top-level API:
useState(this, …);
}
}
Google's QUIC (GQUIC) is used on this 7% of sites

The IETF QUIC remains a work in progress, perhaps to be published in 2019. HTTP/3 is an application layer on top of (IETF) QUIC, it might also be published in 2019 or later. There are implementations of current drafts, and the rough shape is settled but they're a long way from being truly set in stone and aren't in anything ordinary people use.

So unsurprisingly nobody is already doing a thing that isn't even standardised yet, but people are, as you see, writing about it.
When I see people use phrases like "toxic masculinity" I always inject the idea of "toxic Muslim faith". It maps so directly to the language people use around masculinity, and yet most people who would use the phrase "toxic masculinity" want to see themselves as tolerant.

There are a lot of negative aspects of Muslim faith, terrorism being one, that are reinforced by cultural pressures and stereotypes associated with Muslim faith. To simply focus on individual bad behaviors by people who happen to be Muslims is to ignore the societal and cultural weight of Muslim faith and the negative feedback loops a Muslim can feed upon when finding their identity. They persist in part because they signal conformity to an outdated template of Muslim faith.

But there is a big problem if we use the phrase "toxic Muslim faith". It does not spur moral progress, common understanding, or empathy. It is impossible to use the phrase without Muslims getting triggered by it, even if they agree that terrorism is a real problem among Muslims. A Muslim that hears the word "toxic Muslim faith" will uncritically, and not unjustifiably so in my view, see it as an attack on all Muslims and Islam and not just the subset of negative Muslim behavior and culture among Islam practitioners.

I've seen the comparison shots - that's what I'm basing my comment on. The medium format film shots don't resolve the lines either - except the CMS 20, which is not a practical film for normal photography. These black and white line pair charts make film look more impressive than it really is, since film has a long "very fine detail at very low contrast" tail. A more instructive comparison would be medium contrast line pairs.

As I said in my other comment, the easy way to prove that a medium format negative can resolve 80MP worth of detail is to provide an 80MP scan which loses detail when downsampled to, say, 40MP. I've asked a bunch of people for examples of such a scan over the years and never received one.

For some reason, the comparison site you link to doesn't provide any of the original files, so it's difficult to draw any conclusions.
PyCon 2019 Reminders and Information
Most people won't have as many children as you though. Even among people for whom having a family is a priority, they probably won't have more than two or three.
That is a tragic event. Healthy people bounce back from trauma after a healing period. Healthy people aren't the ones in need of institutional self-awareness.

Conversely, do you have chronic income insecurity? Are you dodging bullets and bombs daily as some people do? Were you ever a victim of child slavery in a third-world nation? I suspect if you have internet access you probably have reliable shelter and don't stress over food insecurity. Those are real problems, and yet the people who live through those stressors typically aren't the ones needing mindfulness. The difference is a matter of perspective from perseverance. The lack of perseverance in normal childhood development is certainly a first-world problem.
I try to study it in my off hours. The more I do the more I think my goodness we can not afford not to study it. But then I wind up studying JavaScript because skills pay the bills.
I'm econ undergrad -> DS -> Machine learning. Econ is very useful for data science if you focus on the right subjects: statistics, math, and experimental design. You get all the hard skills you need to interact with data that a statistician or computer scientist gets, with the (significant, unique) benefit of learning how to ask the right question or design the right experiment given what is likely a messy, weird, social scientific question.

On the other hand, if you don't do any quantitative, empirical, or experimental economics -- i.e. you only do theory or political econ -- then you won't pick up these skills (as much).
