"The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist." --verbal kint, the usual suspects (paraphrasing baudelaire, apparently)

wealth worship (underlying certain strains of capitalism, but not all) relies on an economic misdirection that disassociates people's labor from money (and therefore wealth) and instead associates money/wealth with things. this way, we don't feel nearly as bad when a person accumulates wealth, because it's just things they're accumulating. but really, they're accumulating (the value created by people through their) labor.

for example, you could say that gold is intrinsically valuable, but that value derives from our desire to put it to use (via human labor) and its relative scarcity. if a person never unlocks that value with their labor by digging the gold up, then it effectively has no value.

so we should remember that money represents someone's labor (in many cases, it just represents our own labor). accumulating money is accumulating people's labor. (with enough force behind the this, and it becomes slavery.)

that isn't to argue entirely against wealth. some people (but not as many as the wealth disparity might indicate) are truly capable of being more productive with our labor than we ourselves can be. it's reasonable to let them accumulate some of that additional production unlocked by their labor investing in us. it's why we look to, and follow, leaders. (tangentially, this is why legacy wealth through inheritance is generally a net negative because it's almost never as productive as it initially was.)

but underlying a stable social structure is a delicate balance between our own freedom to apply our labor to create value and giving up some freedom by lending our labor to others. wealth disparity increasingly takes away that choice. backing people into a corner is dangerous indeed.
I would argue that you should indeed hoist your data to the highest point, but definitely not your logic. Otherwise you end up with a big mega-component at the top level that contains fragments of business logic for many unrelated features, and coupling your business logic to your view component hierarchy is not a good idea. Changing your page layout should never break your application. I don't advocate any particular solution to this problem but I do believe that you need some kind of architecture that allows you to decouple your UI code from your application code.

If you have the RAM, wouldn't you rather the software use it? Is there some benefit to having memory sitting around empty and idle?

As long as the software doesn't require all that memory, but can work OK with less and then scale up to use more if you've got it, I guess I don't see what the problem is.

Just going to nitpick a bit here and point out that Apple has never used ARM's graphics. They started with imgtec and then Apple took over at some point, using largely the same architecture though.

Meanwhile your Mac Mini was using some form of Intel's integrated, which is notoriously trash tier. The very newest ones are OK sort of, but when push came to shove even Intel opted to ship AMD's Vega graphics in their own NUC instead.
> Many of them say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings by US officials that anyone found entering the country illegally will face arrest, prosecution and deportation.

I assume you're talking about this quote, because it's the closest thing I can find to saying that? I would suggest a closer reading, because nowhere does it have anyone saying they plan to do something illegally. It say that they plan to do something (that there are, in fact, legal ways to do), and have been threatened over doing it illegally.

Mendix Announces Global Adventurer Bear Grylls as Mendix World Headline Speaker
Uber and Lyft compete for drivers using a rewards system based on ratings and number of rides completed. If I look at my own dashboard right now (I drive for Lyft) I see a small fuel subsidy from Shell ($0.05/gallon), discounted roadside assistance from Allstate, a discounted Turbotax subscription, and a handful of other discounted services.

I'm only at Silver, the first tier. Rewards improve slightly at Gold and Platinum tiers but honestly they're so insubstantial that I don't think I would redeem any of them except maybe the Turbotax discount because I was already going to use it.

If Lyft started offering heavily discounted auto maintenance, however, I would 100% redeem those rewards. And I have a strong feeling other drivers would switch from Uber in order to redeem them, too.

Smart move.

Wow, you’ve drank more Kool Aid than the Kool Aid Man.

I would strongly encourage placing less of your view of self worth outside of your “velocity”. That’s not the real world. Products will fail and it won’t be because you weren’t agile enough, it’ll be because the market is a jerk.
More often than not you should have a general feel for how complex your app will grow in the medium / near term. If it's going to get beyond "toy" you might as well take the plunge with Redux up front. Starting your design with it is much easier than trying to shoe-horn it in later, even if the cost at the outset feels heavy.

If you're fairly confident your app won't get too over the top, then by all means go the easy route!

No one is arguing that people should be harassed "literally all the time" (or ever).

Some of the more egregious deployments of "safe spaces" in universities happened in response to controversial campus speakers who were deemed to have views that were threatening to some students. According to some campus radical leftists, the very presence of such speakers was "violence" and a literal "threat" to marginalized students.

Of course, the students could simply refuse to attend the talks of speakers they didn't like, but that wouldn't make as dramatic a statement as creating an explicit "safe space" where they could congregate.

What's the minimum number of words you'd need to define all other words? (2012)
No, it really isn't... but it's a level of complexity that once inherited doesn't get much more complicated as you add more features. It's also imho one of the best options for separating state management.

In general, prop drilling is simpler to start with, but quickly turns into spaghetti... you can use the new context options, but they aren't much easier than using Redux at that point, and can become much more complicated.
I think you're talking about context, which isn't specific to hooks. Hooks give functional components features that only existed for classes.

First of all, context is slow, at least currently.
Secondly, it's just a vehicle for delivering deep updates. It should be used when local state is not enough, but it's only an intermediate step before needing redux-like state Management and all the convenience it provides.
The tax evasion argument doesn't seem to follow. It's not the scarcity that you want hard to measure it's the value. Scarcity in modern art is always assured by one of a kind or limited runs. If it's photorealistic it's much easier to judge the value than an abstract composition. How much should a shark in formaldehyde be worth? If it's in a natural history museum, then the price of the shark, the tank and the formaldehyde and any labor to prepare it. If it's in an art museum, who knows? Whatever someone paid for it.

Suddenly? No. This is the inevitable result of the normalization of authoritarianism, militarism and mass surveillance that began after 9/11.

I mean, we have a President who outright calls the press enemies of the people, and half the country agrees with him, and most of the rest just dismiss it as Trump being an angry crazy man. That's how far the Overton window has been pushed towards protofascism in the US.

The obsession with biases is a form of bias, you not only have to check what fake name you are submitting, you must make sure the people reading it are the same, that the mood of the people reading its the same and that their way of thinking hasn't changed much; such psychological uncertainties are the same reason psychology experiments are hard to replicate. Not to mention the randomness of things like if your resume was the first one thew saw or the last one, and many other things you have no knowledge or control over.
Yep. I've settled on a "feature folder" approach myself. When we finally get around to revamping the Redux docs content, I plan on having a "Style Guide" page similar to the one in the Vue docs, which would offer opinionated suggestions with an indication of how important each one is. One of the items I definitely plan to include in there is a suggestion to use feature folders. I also want to reorganize our example apps based on that structure as well.

See this issue for details on the docs rewrite:

> The HotelTonight app and website will continue to operate as they do today

I really hope that's the case, I love Hotel Tonight but will absolutely stop using it if I end up getting someone's condo. Regardless, I'm worried that hotel selection will go way down. They keep emphasizing boutique hotels, but that's not people go to Hotel Tonight for. I could definitely see large hotel chains not wanting to do business with Airbnb though...
I have both a bank account and a credit union account (for various reasons, I actually have accounts with several local credit unions). My bank (USAA) will refund nearly any fee if you ask. My credit union will tell me to pound sand. I otherwise like them, but they are super strict. My bank also has zero-fee overdraft protection as well. But I have a credit card with them, so that probably is why.

It's pretty easy to find sources on this, although I'm sure that you can find conservative media sources that would support a contrary opinion (as is the case for most things). Maybe try using DuckDuckGo to ensure that you're not stuck in a bubble: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=net+neutrality+poll

> Anyone with no skill can do random things with random items and call it art.

Others have mentioned this, but I think the key here is that the "skill" you are referring to is what art theorists would call "craft." There is a degree of technical skill that goes into a work of art (e.g. sculpting realistic bodies in marble or being able to draw consistent shapes or human anatomy, etc), but theorists would say that the truth of the art is about what emotions and ideas it expresses in the viewer. In this way, since contemporary art often eschews craft, it can (in one sense of the term), be considered the most pure kind of art.

> How can you judge a category of art for which there are no rules?

Keeping the above in mind, art isn't about rules or judgement, but about the personal message it sends to the viewer. Because, after all, what are the "rules" you are ascribing to The David? Realism? If so, then what would you say about impressionist works by, say, Claude Monet?

I say this also as a humble engineer (even if I come off as standoffish, which I hope I'm not), who happened to take a few art theory courses at school, which by no means makes me an expert: so this is just my own experience and perspective.

The most powerful experience I've had with a work of art was with one of Mark Rothko's paintings. Sure, you can look at it as a plain wall of one or two colors in a plain square shape, but when I really got a good look at it for a prolonged period of time, I began to get lost in the colors and appreciated the nuances of the brushstrokes (it also helped that I had read John Logan's play "Red," which is a psychological profile about Rothko's method, which I recommend highly)

All of this to say that, yes, anyone with no skill can do random things with random items and call it art. Because the skill, the things, and the items are not the true characteristics of what art is. I don't think that "Fountain" should necessarily be marked as a masterpiece or objectively hailed as brilliant or anything, but I think to label it as "not art" misses the point (the point that it's trying to make a statement about art as a whole). Art is not about skill/craft, but about communication between the artist and viewer.

That's my perspective on it at least!
I've not figured out how to organize all files on my filesystem, but at least for my notes, I found that trees just don't cut it. I ended up writing a visual studio code plugin called vscode-nested-tags that allows you to add arbitrary tags to any markdown files. These tags can also be nested ala Bear's and Notable's tag system.

I've found that this helps a lot for organization and allows me to not be constrained to the file system for organizational purposes. I found that often times, tickets for specific features turned into useful writeups about the systems that the feature touched and I wasn't able to capture that with a file tree.

The plugin can be found here: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vscode-n...

> It's the worst prediction that we already know is NOT happening. That stands on it's own.

False.

All observations are between “business as usual” emissions — which we are not in fact producing, in part because of these models — and the second most extreme model.

What you’re doing is the equivalent of slowing your car from 90 to 80, saying that disproves fuel consumption estimates based on going at 90, and then saying that you should burn fuel even faster because — oh, I don’t know, let’s say because it makes more jobs for the oil industry or something to keep with the analogy.

> My prediction by looking at the eocene period is that we will have long term climate changes. Except they will change for the better.

Nobody is denying the existence of long term climate changes. Congratulations on your straw man. Or nut picking, if you can find a counter example of someone.

You have not demonstrated why anyone else should believe such changes (let alone ones occurring 100,000 times faster) are “better”, given how much the world has changed since then.

Given this temperature change is caused by CO2 rather than, say, giant space mirrors, we have a further problem. CO2 levels corresponding to “burn all the fossil fuels” (timeframes practically irrelevant) cause demonstrable cognitive impairment:

Of course, I give 3:1 odds that you will dismiss this claim without making a serious attempt to refute it.

I’m not going to bother listing all the other things that need to be handled to prevent various civilisation existential risks as you ask for later. The fact you’re calling it “doomsaying” proves to me that you already understand the severity, you’re just refusing to believe it. Of course, given who you cite as examples, perhaps you’re looking in all the wrong places for knowledge, which brings me to my next point…

Most people don't know what templates and MVC pattern means. But that's basically what you do in PHP, maybe in a more simple form, but still. Basically how all traditional web apps are built whether its Java perl or cgi. React is pretty much the same, like all other web frameworks, but more powerful as it can rerender parts of the view - instead of the whole view. But if you use it server side I really see no benefit, as you would have to render the whole view. Does this make any sense ?

Not at all; just that of the possible initiatives one of the least effective options was chosen.

By analogy, if you were trying to help someone get out of debt, would you advocate they take unpaid time off work to walk along the roadside collecting cans for the deposit, or work overtime hours at $50/hr?

There's limited energy and funds available for these initiatives; by advocating ineffective ones more harm than good is done.
