This model is definitely better at serving niche markets.

For example there are phone manufacturers in China that don't follow the silly trend of making phones slimmer, more fragile and with smaller batteries. Another example are mini notebooks like the GPD Pocket and its many clones which you can (could? haven't looked in a while) only get from china.

I'm a happy user of both product categories and don't think any western company could have been convinced to build these. The market is just too small.

Since I find myself in these small markets quite often (I love robust/rugged devices, phones with hardware keyboards, open hardware, ...) that's a super useful development for me. And I think there are more people like me, maybe with different wishes, but in similarly small markets, that would profit from more product diversity and easier customization of products.

Here's something that could be relatively easy (there may be a good library out there already, I haven't looked to hard for it though). Create a node.js module that takes as input the results of an SQL one-to-many join, along with a description of the key fields in each level, and outputs the results in a nested JSON object. So for an example, an output of a customer <= invoices <= invoice_detail would have an array of objects containing customer info, each which has an array of child objects one for each invoice, and the invoice objects have a child object array for each line item.

Would be nice if it was abstracted enough to work with any database driver, and also have bindings for the node Oracle, Postgres, and MySQL drivers.
Yep! Even now it's not quite as bad as identical program structure. I mean, the high-level is fairly similar, but even now individual functions can look significantly different.

Emacs' C is already largely written in a high-level, macro-rich style to deal with Lisp objects (tagged pointers). So Rust already gives wins there w.r.t. more explicit types and From/Into impls over macros.

And over the last couple weeks there has been discussion about replacing xml.c with a native Rust backend for XML parsing.
Battery failures can also be caused by manufacturing/design defects in the cells (as in the Boeing batteries) or malfunctioning components of the active cooling system in the Model 3 like fans/pumps/coolant (like the Tesla club owner).

Having a coolant temperature gauge in front of you could show you a trending problem, before the car announces to you that it is shutting down as you attempt to merge into 75 MPH traffic.
Interesting. I had a VC Lyft driver once too.
This. Their posted fees mask exchange rates that are horrendous.
>Hong Kong was not the logistics hub of an empire after WWII. It was the remnant of one, a place that had never been important before and wasn’t a priority to anyone in the metropole.

Hong Kong is situated at the mouth of the Pearl River Valley, one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Important enough that the UK fought two wars to maintain the territory, and it benefited tremendously from being a border city during the Cold War.
Meh. Firefly was a decent show, but I didn't feel much arc going on, although it's possible that it would have been amazing with 5 seasons. I felt it was more cowboys in dystopian outer space than B5 which was about politics, military strategy, philosophy, love, hatred, revenge, technology, society, war, and thus grand space opera.

There is also clearly a peak and decline, even with exercise. The article does seem to cover this given the wide error bars for some of the cognitive tasks.
I wanted to start waking up very early to pursue a creative hobby before work rather than after when I'm wiped out from the day.

It actually works really well for me. I feel great in the morning and the rest of the day too. I did not have very healthy hours before, though.
Overall, I find Discourse really annoying. It has some good stuff in it, but it just tries to be too clever, replacing standard techniques that play well with web browsers with its own magic that is simply nowhere near as good. Its lazy loading story, for example, is extremely weak. (I don’t know if it’s better with 25ms latency rather than the 250–350ms an Australian will always get on such things which are invariably hosted in the US, but I don’t expect it’ll be good even there.) Just load and render the entire thread, please, and then don’t hijack Ctrl+F.

Discourse is also very wasteful of space for anything but long-form prose: a single line of text is 180px high (in other words, a typical screen will never under any circumstances fit more than five comments on the screen at a time), and a single-line quote from someone else adds 80px. Compare discussions here on HN with Discourse. I’d much, much rather work here. (Yes, their purposes are somewhat different, especially as regards ordering; and applying the HN structure to longer-term discussion would require changes of some form, because it wouldn’t work if you just took it verbatim.)

If I had infinite time, I’d write a leaner frontend for Discourse with much less magic and much less wasted space.
Yeah, I'm guessing I will underperform until I get fired anyway. I was hoping it would work out, since the company is so large and stable that it could have been my final job over the last 20 years of my career. I have a non-verbal offer from another company who would pay me close to the same, with the option of moving to Austin. I'm just not sure the company(a well known manufacturer of set-top boxes and TV middleware) will be around for the long haul. I met their team though and really felt at home.
I was going to say, unfortunately this probably came at the personal expense of the employees who probably needed the work.

Great to hear that this actually led to them getting better treatment.
(Nearly) all of Facebook exists in a single repository, so all dependencies are building against other dependencies at ~master. Things do break, but extensive automated testing goes a long way.
That’s not how I read it. What I read is that the entire story is wrong, no one’s pay is cut, and the reason these signs were posted is unclear. What am I missing?
There's nothing preventing drivers from driving for multiple apps, though. Most Lyft/Uber drivers I see these days have both stickers in their windshield.
That makes very little sense. They have use for it because it results in new features which are contributing to their business which would otherwise be both built and QCd by employees
I would hardly say we have peaked. I think there’s plenty left to discover. I think the web was vastly behind other user interface systems and just took a decent jump with Angular and React. There’s a lot left to discover though.
I remember an interview with Jean-Louis Gassée that mentioned after he'd been fired from Apple but before he'd gone on to start Be Inc., Gould actually approached him to lead Commodore before he hired Ali. Gassée said he'd only do it if he got a guarantee of non-interference for a specific amount of time (three years, maybe), and Gould wouldn't go for it.

I don't know how that would have changed things -- Be came to a sad end itself, after all. But it's hard not to wonder.
What I read was that the franchisee who made the labor decision has lost their franchises, the ownership of which has been transferred to a preferred corporate partner.

“Thank you for your inquiry about the about the eight Sonic Drive-Ins in the Columbus, Ohio market that have changed ownership from a franchisee to Sonic’s operating affiliate, SRI Holding Company (SRI) as of Monday, February 25.”

It’s effectively a contractual death penalty for a franchisee (not an uncommon component of franchise agreements as it relates to bad PR or egregious business practices).
We used React Native back then when it first came out. Surprisingly the problems that exists back then, still exists today like red error screen, slow TableView scroll, upgrading RN problems.

It is too late for Facebook because a lot of high profile startups are moving away from it. When you release something like this and then have the OSS deal with it and not responed to PRs for several months and years, it leaves a bad taste.
Transforming Data with Azure Data Factory Data Flow
I'm not sure about Ohio but I thought the rule was that you were obligated to pay out the difference if tips don't make them go to minimum wage.

So was this policy from the new owners just a way to slightly reduce costs. From any tips the employees got? Do fast food workers get tips? It seems.... so cheap.
I teach high school. There are ways to hold students accountable if their actions outside of school affect what's happening in school. But you need staff and administration who are all on the same page and working together, and it helps to have a group of people who are focused on what's best for the learning environment, not just a group focused on winning against kids and families. Unfortunately, that is not always a given.

> Under international law, crews of merchant ships aren't allowed to carry weapons

That isn't true. It's perfectly legal for an American ship in international waters to carry weapons aboard. Shipping companies hire armed security to protect their ships even though it's not common.

Depending on the country, a very heavily armed ship may have a problem in certain ports, but small arms kept aboard aren't a problem in most places. If you want larger weapons, companies could hire escort boats.

>Are companies legally bound to stay vulnerable? No. Most choose to do so - consciously or not - because to date they've gotten away with a weak security posture. This is just the nature of business. An appropriate mitigation would be for Congress to pass legislation requiring companies to safeguard their systems.

Sure companies need better security, but no security policy will stop a sufficiently motivated attacker. Expecting private citizens to be solely responsible for protecting themselves from foreign militaries is absurd.

>Retaliation in this case would involve the American Navy sending landing parties ashore to Somalia, or attacking Somalian cargo ships in a tit-for-tat fashion.

Retaliation in this case would be the US launching cyber attacks and stealing trade secrets from private foreign companies. Instead they are directly attacking cyber combatants.

I'm fascinated that the only source for the 4$/hour + tips is a tweet. As far as I can tell, that's it. In fact, the article doesn't even make the claim, just republishes the tweet.

The Sonic statements says no wage have decreased, but this is not pointed out, fact-checked or commented on.

Real good journalistic work.

And to be honest, the strategy works. The fact that it (hopefully temporarily) cracked HN's frontpage is testament to that.
Discord is slack for not-work with far better voice chat.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but using webcomponents as an alternative to a hypothetical version of react native for desktop apps would require loading said web components into a webview, say via Electron; am I correct in that? If so, then I'd d strongly disagree that that is a better way of doing things. While I'm not an electron hater like many around here, react native's approach seems far superior.
> the rule was that you were obligated to pay out the difference if tips don't make them go to minimum wage

That is the rule but, practically speaking, the fastest way to get permanently fired and more-or-less blackballed from ever working in foodservice again is to complain to management (and, worse, the government) about getting shorted on wages due to low tips. So few people do it if they need the job.
The source article linked to in the op says different

“One anonymous source close to management stated: “Circleville, Lancaster, and Grove City crews have all walked out and quit after the franchise was bought out by corporate. The regional director, two district managers and four general managers have all been let go. All of which have been working for the company in management for 7+ years.”

Sonics updated statement was that pay was actually not changed
You called out the red error screen and that's something that they explicitly called out as fixed in this version of React Native.

And it looks like they are a lot faster about responding to PRs now.

Tt seems to me like they are doing a good job improving React Native!
I downloaded this to see if VoiceOver support is still as broken as it used to be and its surprisingly functional. And it really is fast. I can still "feel" that it‘s not native, but it actually might be close enough.

You should put labels on your image buttons though.
For a brief moment I thought this article will talk about the point where humanity itself peaks in intelligence and knowledge.

On the other hand looking at the USA, I'd definitely say it already happened.
Good stuff. I seem to remember the installation around the time Zulip was first open-sourced was pretty fiddly. I'm glad you've made progress.
> Can you keep skin youthful through exercising it

No but you certainly can by avoiding excessive sunlight exposure and staying hydrated!
Pretty fucked up if you think about it. In order to circumvent minimum wage laws, they reclassified their employees as tipped employees, thus exempting them from having to pay state minimum wage. These types of practices are common in third world countries. It would seem the US has dropped from a developed nation to a developing one. This is also further proof that a minimum wage doesn’t work. The free market should decide the fair market value of a laborer.

To be fair, this was published 20 minutes ago on a Friday after work for US. Not hard to get some magic promotion in that fashion.
I was with you until the last sentence.

You are correct but I obviously disagree on not mature enough for production, I’m in production with paying users. :)
When the people have nothing left to lose, they will make the right choice and strike.

The key is to give the working class the slightest bit of hope to cling onto.

People will accept lots of abuse if they think there is still a chance of making it in life if they obey their masters.
UI redesigns are mostly a waste of time
If this cut to $4/hr is indeed true and documented act by the management - they'll soon be using their savings to pay for own legal bills.

However - better wait for the full and well-researched story to follow ...
It's not clear, but I think what happened may be:

1. Restaurant ownership changed
2. New owners set wages at min(4 + tips, 8) instead of 8 + tips.
3. Staff quit

Technically, the minimum amount earned didn't change, but they'd be making less if they got any tips?
It looks like they reclassified their employees. The Ohio state min wage is $8.55/hr for employees, but if your employees can get tips, you only need to pay $4.30/hr.[0]

I was aware, but I don't recall those projects being very active. Additionally, IIRC they're both implementing their UI widgets differently rather than trying to build a common API that is desktop agnostic. There also is this project: https://github.com/status-im/react-native-desktop which seems somewhat more active, and also supports linux (which is much more important to me than windows support).
I read it the same way as you, but on closer examination, if you look at the dates the letter was posted and the date of when the policy/acquisition is effective, it seems that Sonic corp did step in after the fact to acquire these and reinstate old policies. But it is amazing how unclear that was.
> The software model that's closest to what Bunnie describes in Shenzhen is the plain old open-source model

My point is, that model only exists if you respect the rule of law and specifically conventional copyright. So the thing we can point to as a successful (in some conventional sense, as opposed to idiosyncratically "pro-artisanal" Bunnie Huang sense) demo of his theory exists because of, not in spite of Western IP law!

Firefly had some good ideas, but its whole "space western" (or more accurately, "space American Civil War") motif was in my (admittedly unpopular) opinion slapdash and awkwardly executed. I cannot take a show seriously that expects us to believe, in the far flung future, in an entirely different solar system, anyone will actually utter the phrase "twixt my nethers" in common parlance.

I mean... that's just stupid.

Compare it to the anime Cowboy Bebop, which in my opinion did it correctly, blending the themes of the Western genre without forcing in the tropes and idioms in ways that threaten to break immersion.
now go learn how the minimum wage laws work with tips. it’s not a “get out of paying employees free” card
> why don't we use any software that comes out of east Asia?

Ruby Language is driven by Matz from Japan. I'm sure there are other projects from East Asia as well that I can't name at the moment.

If you're using a Nintendo Switch or a Playstation, those are also developed by Japanese companies in East ASia.

If you want to look at smartphone apps developed in East Asia, there are many that are very influential such as Line in Japan, Kakao in Korea, WeChat and Alipay in China, etc. Granted these smartphone apps use either Java or Objective-C but they are 'made in East Asia."

In fact, for the China smartphone market, because China blocks most non-Chinese Internet services via the Great Firewall (i.e. Google, Twitter, Facebook, etc.) the vast majority of Chinese apps are made in China. If you don't live in China or Japan or Korea, you probably don't use the apps that are made for those markets.

Every job I’ve had in the past 15 years has had exactly the same office workspace:

- horrid open plan layout with no quiet or privacy.

- comically stupid budget wasted on boutique cafeteria and presentation spaces, catered lunches, coffee, snacks.

- corporate slogans and motivational gimmicks painted on the walls.

Why do you need to research office space for a new job? It’s always exactly the same.

My first exposure to computers was an A1200 — which my father bought in 1994. Now that I have a son, I’m desperately in search for something that could influence him as much as that Amiga did to me.

Seriously, what is the Amiga of the current market? What is that product that fosters creativity and is so futurist?
It hits them twice. Counting tips means higher taxes. It shouldn't, but the reality is tipped employees underreport if they can, mostly.
I went to a talk at Oak Ridge National Lab soon after the discovery of Ununseptium (element 117 that is now called Tennessine) and it was really interesting the international collaboration needed to make the discovery happen.

Basically, at Oak Ridge they produced radioactive isotopes with the appropriate number of neutrons and protons to match the theoretical ratio of the atom. Then, those isotopes needed to be shipped to Russia so they could be smashed together in a particle accelerator to briefly create the atom which we know existed from its specific decay and gamma ray emission.

But there was a lot of political hurdles in the way of shipping the isotopes to Russia in the first place, and it almost didn't happen because the isotopes were decaying while paperwork was floundering between state departments.

You are probably the smartest at around 5 to 10 years old. At least when it comes to creativity and learning. Peak performance of brain capacity is probably around 20 to 25. After that you aren't getting particular less intelligent per see but stress and lack of sleep are deterrent. The risk of stroke also increases as you get older. There are probably a peak of intelligence at around age 50 when your brain is still healthy and you have acquired experience and knowledge.
Some things align w internal priorities and get done, others are issues FB people have not run into and they ask for contributions from whoever is affected.
