Of course, but what you're requesting is science. It's a meta-analysis. A work that studies other studies and tries to provide aggregate data while controlling for whatever the meta-analysis creators determine to be relevant. What I was pointing out here is how studies like this would generally be considered high-reliability studies for these meta-analyses. It ticks all the right boxes, probably by design. Yet at the same time when you look at it, it's something I think few would find worthy of basing their decisions on.

But qualifying exactly which studies you should, or should not, give weight to is a task that's ultimately going to also involve substantial bias. If I want to argue that digitech is good for kids, I'm going to be able to create very reasonable sounding criteria that would include studies such as this. If I want to argue that digitech is bad for kids, I'm still going to be able to create very reasonable sounding criteria yet one that would exclude studies such as this. The same problem inherent in the individual studies also ends up emerging in the meta-analyses as well.

Aggregating data in some ways takes you even further away from the truth. Here you can reasonably show that this study is not so great, yet imagine this was part of hundreds of different studies all packed together with a sample size aggregate of hundreds of thousands. It may very well be that that meta-analysis was also loaded with dubious work, such as this, yet it becomes vastly more tedious to illustrate such. And as the rate of publication continues to exponentially increase, then going forward into the future we will eventually be faced with things such as meta-analyses of meta-analyses. Meta-meta-analysis I suppose?
This is neither secret, nor a backdoor (in the malicious sense). It's a officially documented[0] debug mode.

Imagine how hard it is to stop an addiction.

Now imagine how much harder it is if you're living on the street. It makes simple things (eg attend an appointment on $DAY at $TIME at $PLACE) much much harder.

I've never had a problem with alcohol or drugs, but I know I'd be an addict if I lived on the streets just to make it tolerable.
This isn't relevant to your question, and not to question your life choices, but why on earth would you want to move to the UK now? We're about to put ourselves through possibily the most traumatic political upheaval for years which, with the best will in the world, I can't imagine will go particularly smoothly.

I'd give it at least a year before you decide to come here!

By "over redux" do you mean "with redux" or "instead of redux"?
I haven't used hooks yet but if you are using hooks instead of redux, it confuses me on how hooks work. To me they seems to be replacing the need for a class with local state, not replacing a redux architecture?

> Save all the events and you can always get to the latest state

This isn't actually true and good event sourcing guides will point out why this isn't true. Event based systems are naturally racey, on a rerun of a stream of events the order in which the events is processed may change and you might therefore get a different result than the first time.

For example, if you have 1 item remaining in inventory but two people attempt to purchase it at the same time, that is a natural race and only 1 of them can succeed. If you are operating at the sort of scale where you require this kind of horizontal scaling, you may be in the territory where these sorts of conflicts become common.
There are also related works from a few Marxian anthropologists covering the topic of how demographic changes underpin social and cultural changes.

Perhaps. So? Just because an observation is condescending doesn't mean that it's false.
You sell a small portion, for the same smaller price tag. Then when the deadline comes, the customer checks to see if you delivered, and decides to continue the contract or find somebody else.

So the customer can have assurances that they aint gonna be bogged down with sunk costs. The developer can have more frequent deliveries.

Hmm. You are both right?

If LMAX fits your problem, and you're fine with the distribution aspects, and you can adopt a homogeneous architecture etc, then it works well.

But the way Event Sourcing is normally sold and implemented is you emit events in some components, written in some mix of languages and half of them probably already legacy, into some 'event bus' thing that you adopt and is probably written internally in some other paradigm, and then you consume these events in several different programs all implemented in other languages by other teams at other times, and you probably do all this across the atlantic!

I live in a gazillion-events-per-second world, perhaps not as hectic as finance, but sadly bigger events and sadly globally distributed, and sadly running on amazon (which will be orders of magnitude slower overall than if you have dedicated hardware once you're at this scale because of, aha, aws's complete lack of 'mechanical sympathy' ;) ). It sucks. Oh I wish I had an LMAX-shaped problem.
I have no experience with moving to the UK. My first thought though is, why should the UK be interested in letting you do this?

If your kids go to school then will you be paying for it, or do you expect the same sort of free public education you get from the US? If the latter, that's at least $10,000 per child, so at least $20,000.

Are you going to pay UK taxes for the year?

Who will cover your medical?

It sounds like a net-negative for the UK, from a financial sense.

It's certainly possible to move to another country as a self-employed person, but that requires showing funding, and likely a business plan, marketing plan, etc. to show it is viable. See https://www.expatica.com/uk/employment/employment-law/the-uk... .

Calling the class component a "jumbled mess" is nothing short of hyperbole. It could be simplified quite a bit however. The problem is an inappropriate use of "setInterval" here. If the author used a recursive "setTimeout" function instead, the entire "componentDidUpdate" function can be deleted. Alternatively, keep the setInterval and all the logic in componentDidUpdate could just be moved to the tick function.

This contrived example hasn't sold me on hooks at all.

Soldigo - The easiest way to create a store and sell on multiple channels
> Building it after it's been promised is one of the best ways to limit scope.

only if those doing the promising knows what's within bounds and what's wildly off bounds!

If the sales person makes wild promises because his commission depends on making the sale, but not the delivery, then the whole organization's interests are not aligned properly, thus fail.

If the salesman's commission comes from successful delivery, then he can bring in an engineer who can at least balance the promises. Who knows, may be different departments can cross-contaminate, leading to a better, more well rounded organization.

I'm a Westerner in the Philippines now, and just the other day I went out to a restaurant and there were a group of young people having dinner at the next table. As they ate, they all were staring at their phones and not conversing, just eating. I thought, "oh well, after they finish eating they'll probably be social over drinks." Nope, I was wrong. After the plates were cleared away, they all remained zombies glued to Facebook. Not a word was passed between any of them. It's really sad to behold what Facebook is doing to the Philippines. Or maybe it would be more accurate to say what people are doing to themselves via Facebook.
Rationally, fictional evidence is useless.

Imaginatively, fiction and imagination are the only things that stimulate to push the boundaries in science and tech.

Good for them -- it's their town after all!

My grandmother's house (in Australia) was assigned a house number (in the 70s?) but she refused to use it, continuing to give her address as the house name and insisting that we grandkids address letters to her by name. As far as I know they always arrived. There was no number on the house or letterbox. I went by a few months ago (somebody else lives there now) and there's a number on the letterbox.

My in-laws live in a village in Germany (a little south of the town in this article) with only two streets, referred to as "am Berge" and "im Dorf" (on the hill and in the village) and though the house numbers are not unified as in this article's case, there is no actual street sign -- but by "name" it's pretty obvious which is which.
How can we challenge the biggest insurers to be better?
I'll keep this short and sweet. 70% of people aren't satisfied with their current insurance provider (no surprises there) and 40% of millennials don't even buy travel insurance when they go abroad!

It's because it's difficult to know what you're buying, whether you need it and whether you can or should trust your insurer.

There are so many problems to fix. We're a team of technologists and designs and strongly think that tech and design can play a huge role in fixing some of these issues.

We created 'travel insurance for people who don't like insurance' (http://pluto.insure).

We're pretty new in town and we're up against some of the biggest companies. But we love feedback and would love to hear from you and about YOU think we could topple the big players.

This is actually quite common around here. In Austria you have e.g. Schlitters and Alpbach that also don't have street names and they are even bigger than Hilgermissen.

Related: use caution with Google Maps in Austria. Here e.g. it suggests you to go through a steep mountain road (in current weather it's likely not passable without chains) instead of taking a normal street: http://imgur.com/a/If4aMI7
Seems they don't see adequate value in the change.
Classes aren't really that great in React. You typically need do a lot of juggling to co-ordinate lifecycle hooks. Trying to do something like register, update and unregister a listener feels very verbose with classes because you don't truely control the instance lifecycle – React does.
From the article:

> On safety: In the year or so that scooters hit the mainstream in the U.S., there were casualties. Moreover, many — kids included — realized just how easy it is to get away with scootering sans helmet, while others rode throughout the night. Bird, to keep children off scooters, at least, requires customers to provide a driver’s license when they sign up. Given the number of issues that have arisen as scooters become increasingly popular, improved safety measures are bound to be in the news in the year ahead.

Apparently it's for a reason colinear to needing licenses to drive cars, ie, to limit irresponsible scooterers and minors who tend to disregard rules and be the most brash riders.

It just so happens it's also conveniently a great way to keep poor people and homeless people from making use of this even if they had the money for a ride, but then again maybe that's for their own good.

I don't know about Lithium batteries, but lead-acid ones have an interesting thing where their freezing point is much lower if they are fully charged. The acid concentration is higher and works like antifreeze. If you let it go flat the concentration drops, and the physical expansion from the water freezing just destroys the thing.
That article is masterwork, thank you. It seems like having a "hub and spokes" architecture is key to getting event sourcing right. LMAX's Business Logic Processor is the only thing sourcing outputs, so you don't hit dependency hell. Also, your business process is literally a process, rather than living on the ledger.

It reminds me of well-designed Paxos control systems like Borg, where the journal serves as the ledger and all business logic lives in one scheduler thread.

React didn't even start out with classes — React.createClass came first. It allowed you to define lifecycle hooks for a component, but wasn't supposed to be a generic class implementation.
I've worked in a couple of ES based trading system (matching engines and algo trading both) and it was definitely the way to go, especially on the equity side were you can restart or snapshot the system every day. In my startup, I've designed the core transactional system and it's serving us well for 2 years now. It comes with its own challenges and you need more senior devs than your average crud system hence you use it only for parts which are better specified and less subject to change. As everything it's a trade off.

There should be 1 point in the system that said "user x has ordered item a". That then becomes an event.
The command from user x and y to order item a might be a race condition to see which command gets processed first, but once it has been turned into an event it's immutable and without race conditions. You should never replay commands.
The source frames the issue as merely "street names, or not."

That glosses over the question of how to name the streets, a question quite conductive to nasty political fighting. Maybe that already happened.
People on visas pay a health surcharge which means they're covered by the NHS. Visitors who are not normally resident and who haven't paid the surcharge will have to pay for some (but not all) treatment at 150% the standard tariff.

The list of services exampt from charging are here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/... (It's more complex than the list I'm including here)

---begin quote---

Exempt services

The following services are free at the point of use for all patients. A charge cannot be made or recovered from any overseas visitor for:

• accident and emergency (A&E) services, this includes all A&E services provided at an NHS hospital, e.g. those provided at an accident & emergency department, walk-in centre, minor injuries unit or urgent care centre 2 . This does not include those emergency services provided after the overseas visitor has been accepted as an inpatient, or at a follow-up outpatient appointment, for which charges must be levied unless the overseas visitor is exempt from charge in their own right;

• family planning services (does not include termination of pregnancy);

• diagnosis and treatment of specified infectious diseases (listed at Chapter 4);

• diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted infections;

• palliative care services provided by a registered palliative care charity or a community interest company;

• services that are provided as part of the NHS111 telephone advice line;

• treatment required for a physical or mental condition caused by:
- torture;
- female genital mutilation;
- domestic violence; or
- sexual violence,

except where the overseas visitor has travelled to the UK for the purpose of seeking that treatment.

This is a problem with a lot of security people. They want to forbid everything to make it safe. But you need to let people do what they want to do, otherwise they will find way more unsafe ways to do it.

A friend of mine works in industrial safety. He sees this a lot. He told me the rule "Jedes Verbot braucht ein Gebot", which roughly translated means "Every thing that is forbidden should be accompanied by a permission". So you can't just forbid people to smoke somewhere, you have to find a place where they can smoke. Otherwise they might find one themselves.
