On the other hand. If your code base has become so big that you need something like TypeScript to make your life bearable, you're probably doing it wrong.

Having strongly typed languages has much more to do with those developers who can't live without the autocomplete feature in their IDE. Especially the army of ASP.NET developers who are used to working with Visual Studio.

We'll probably be seeing more of those code generator patterns with TypeScript soon.

Not saying TypeScript is a bad thing. But strongly typed languages do come with their pitfalls. Massive amounts of code providing a simple CRUD interface. An entire team working on their complex microservice solution which is just wrapping some already existing API. Things that can easily be achieved with a couple of lines of cough PHP cough.

> How is this any different from Facebook?

Primarily because we’ve been telling them they need to do a better job about this for years, so “could not reasonably have been predicted“ absolutely does not apply. They have literally been condemned by a United Nations investigator for what happened in Myanmar [1]. Multiple government have been unhappy with their attitude problem [2]. In this report, one of the problems is they “continue to host and publish the mosque attack video”, which they absolutely don’t have any excuse for not being aware of, not any more.

If this is the best that the state of the art can manage, then the state of the art is not good enough for Facebook to continue to exist. If Facebook were a human, it would have been fired for gross negligence.

Actually, this might exactly be why the industry pays so well.

Facebook's biggest threat is not dying on its own, but the possibility of future programmers disrupting it. They're fine with paying billions for companies like Instagram and WhatsApp, because of the possibility that these companies would target the same market and hurt their profit margins. They pay very high amounts to poach employees from other large companies as well.

The ifixit Pro toolkit really is a necessity for anyone even remotely interested in taking things apart.

I've used mine to take apart every conceivable consumer electronic, and through social bits for Nintendo, Apple, etc are priceless.

I also got the magnetic mat, a Christmas gift from my wife, and when disassembling things with lots of screws is useful for drawing out the device for their location.

It's true that we haven't focussed on a mobile experience for the docs so far (assuming a primary use case for the docs is when being used on your computer as you're using Prisma). However, we see that many people like to browse docs on their phones to learn about the tool, so we are now making it a priority to make our docs responsive! Thanks for the feedback.

Facebook has "no clue what kind of stuff gets posted" because they conveniently have decided to have no clue.

Facebook enjoys the protection of its IPR and the right to sell advertisement overseas in places like New Zealand or Europe. Why should New Zealand or Europe allow their business model of close to zero oversight of content? Facebook is not a startup. It's a huge company making billions showing ads to billions.
I've had my share of sleep problems in the past. Fixed it by reading "Why We Sleep" and "Circadian Code" and borrowing a lot of ideas and suggestions there.

I immediately gave up coffee, at first, a long with a bunch of other things (details at [0]).

Anyway, recently I started experimenting with coffee again and it turns out it didn't have any impact on my sleep, whatsoever. I started drinking coffee again (albeit, little less than what I drank before) and I still sleep 8+ hours daily.

I eat very cleanly, in general, and exercise daily.

I think that trying to fit my last meal 4-5 hours before sleeping has had the biggest impact on my sleep!

It's extremely important for your physical and mental health to eat clean, sleep well (8+ hours minimum) and exercise (strength training preferred). Optionally try to include time restriction on the eating window (say, eat within 8 hours period in each 24 hours). That's all there is to it, really. The rest is probably genetic lottery.

I'm pretty sure that's the core of the idea. What you're doing in an afternoon looks just like being able to code without thinking to someone who would still take a week on it.

That's not quite true. No one blames the US postal service for death threats sent in the mail. Facebook is not the USPS, but it's not a traditional publisher either — and just like the USPS it simply couldn't work if you wanted the same level of editorial oversight as a publisher.

edit: typo
You seem to be missing a few things:
- data usage is correlated with battery usage, which is important on mobile
- the http2 prioritization point is only half valid. Two big assumptions that probably don't hold in practice: whether the implementations actually implement priority correctly, all the way through the stack (e.g. perhaps some servers have a suboptimal implementation?), And whether having a bazillion low priority image requests can hit some slowness - e.g. I would expect there to be some limit on how many streams http2 implementations will allow simultaneously. And lastly, http2 is based on tcp so even if the prioritization is good, changing the priorities as the user scrolls means that the bytes currently transferring are likely less important and holding up the more important response - which is probably not a big deal on a good network but with any amount of packet loss will introduce lots of extra delay.

Tragedies happen, but why can't we live with them and try solve the causes instead of results? How many people read the manifesto written by the killer? I don't agree with any brutality but there are some points to think about.

If they ban one service, they will use another one next time. Or people will watch it from an archive. Or they won't watch the it at all and trust news blindly.

But the censorship will harm everyone. It will force people to post positive, optimistic posts only. It will control what is good and what is bad. It will present a fake ideal reality.
> “Refactoring code” would be something left to the apprentice, not something that I, the master who has churned out enough ceramic pots, would be bothered with.

The master potter does not churn out pots that need to be fixed. He focuses on quantity to get to quality faster, that is the whole point of that story in my opinion.

Also, "refactoring code" should not be seen as such a separate activity that it can (or should) be done by other people.
As for 5: men get richer after divorce on average, women poorer. However, women report higher happiness after divorce while men lower. Then again, men are more likely to find new partner faster. Not surprisingly, women who have jobs are more likely to ask for divorce and women who depend on husbands salary less so.

For all the stories about large alimony, such situation not the norm.

This is not news to anyone who has been following the changes in gender dynamics in the past ~15 years.

Without giving an opinion on any side: there is (and will continue to be) growing instability when inequalities (relationship, wealth, or otherwise) result in a large portion of the population disaffected. Historically the solution to this particular problem has been enforced monogamy + the risk of pregnancy. Clearly that is no longer an option in the West, as sexual attitudes have become more open and birth control is widely available. It remains to be seen what the end result will be this time around.

Personally I think that technology will try (and largely fail) to address this imbalance. Think of K's "girlfriend" in Blade Runner 2049. This seems to be the route we as a society are heading toward. A civilization of hyper-individuals that attempt to fulfill all social and human needs through market-based product solutions.

I think HBO just made it way easier. Once I heard the series would be a show, I knew we'd never get any more books because the lull between A Feast for Crows and Dance with Dragons was something like 5 years. At that rate, he'd need another 15 to be done while gallivanting on other fantasy titles/collections/anthologies/wtf and endorsing everything under the sun once the first three books gave him clout.

I'm definitely a little bitter about it, but I've accepted it. Parris needs the royalties.

/salt: Somehow, within that time, Robin Hobb managed to spit out a trilogy seemingly once a quarter. Thankfully, Steven Erikson came along and wrote The Malazan Book of the Fallen, which, if you like books, honestly puts ASoIaF to shame on numerous levels (and has the benefit of being done).

I developed a pretty bad pollen allergy around the age of 30. Every spring I had to take antihistamines that helped a bit (not completely), but they made me either anxious or sleepy.

Then just for fun I made a bet with a friend of mine -- I tried to do a half-distance amateur tri race (1.9k swim, 90k cycle, 21k running) without any carb intake. So I dramatically decreased my carb intake for 3 months or so from February to May.

My allergy has completely disappeared and didn't come back for 2 years (despite me having switched back to eating carbs). Then it came back, and I cut back on carbs again. It subsided.

Very strange.

The problem is that I can't figure out what is helping. Carbs in general? Gluten? Something else? I don't know because it takes 1-2 weeks at least before the effects kick in, so I can't just simply A/B test.
I'm not positive, but I feel there might be a misunderstanding here. This article isn't trying to say dark matter and/or black holes don't exist, just that they aren't the same thing.

While I wouldn't have described myself as a beginner 3 years into my dev career, I certainly wouldn't have described myself as "expert" either - perhaps "advanced beginner" or "competent" would have been more appropriate.

For me, part of being "expert" is having broad experience, and that takes time. I think I would have used "expert" to describe my abilities after somewhere between 5 and 10 years.

I work at Prisma and this is one of the questions we're currently hearing the most (we'll actually publish a blog post about this exact question soon).

Generally, think of Prisma as a suite of database tools that simplify workflows in three different areas:

● Database access / ORM (lightweight, auto-generated and type-safe database client for various languages)

● Declarative data modelling and migrations

● Data management with modern admin UI

I think it also differs from traditional ORMs in that it supports multiple databases. We see a trend that many modern apps are built on top of a variety of databases, it might use Posgtres, Elastic, Mongo and Neo4j all at the same time for different purposes. We are embracing this and with the Prisma client it will be possible in the future to access all these data sources in a single, coherent and type-safe API.

Feel free to check out our roadmap to get an idea of what we're working on: https://github.com/prisma/prisma/blob/master/ROADMAP.md
I contacted MSI about my then new laptop back in 2015. I wanted to add an additional two SSDs (it had an empty m.2 slot and a spinning 2.5" and the OS on a single m.2 SSD).

The problem was that to remove the bottom, I'd have to destroy a warranty void sticker.

I emailed them and they replied in no time at all confirming that removing the sticker to perform the upgrade was not an issue and would not affect my warranty.

I'm in the UK.

It is my understanding that here in Europe, the same rules will be honoured with respect to warranty void stickers so long as you don't cause damage while voiding the sticker to perform whatever it is you're doing.
There is so many things wrong with this statement man where to start.

Laws are fundamentally enforced by ya know force. Taxes are enforced by taking your money by force, taking your freedom by force if you disagree strenuously enough, and taking your life if you fail to submit to losing your freedom.

You can't legally force someone to associate with others because we put that in the constitution centuries ago. It's also codified in the European Convention on Human Rights, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Your idea pisses on rights fundamental enough and universal enough that the entire free world agrees they are a good idea.

If it didn't you would still have to deal with people with social anxiety, people with other obligations including unplanned ones.

Would we have to go to the doctor (if we can afford to go to one) to avoid having our medical or mental safety taken from us? Perhaps go to a government office to plead our case for an exemption or excuse for not going to a party within the right time frame.

But the harshest criticism and the must fundamental is that this solution is a solution to a wholly imaginary problem. It's not substantially harder to interact with the feminine half of the species than it ever was.

In fact its always sucked if you didn't have much social status. Its worse to be low status than it is to be ugly or stupid or both.

This isn't new or shocking. If you want a mate find an individual with shared interests and use that to springboard into dating -> relationship -> partnership. If you don't like where you are at improve your position rather than asking society to fix imaginary problems with the dating and mating game.

Any claim reg anonymity is hard to uphold. The tor project makes it clear that using tor-as-a-proxy is suicide for anonymity [0], so there's nothing VPNs could do that tor doesn't do better. Also, anything stupid one might do at the application layer can absolutely make tor useless in protecting your identity let alone the VPNs (like updating OS over tor, or accessing email, WebRTC apps and the like). So, the author is right on all accounts, but one needs VPN for similar reason one needs IPSec and TLS-- there are multiple levels to it.

Here's why I think using a VPN makes sense:

1. ISPs cannot track and mitm you. ISPs have MiTMd https [1].

2. Circumvent censorship, esp DNS manipulation attacks.

3. Prevent use profiling: traffic meta-data analysis (what IPs you connect to, what protocols you're using and so on) [2].

4. A lot of propaganda is targeted at a demography in a particular location. Tunneling traffic through a VPN might mask your location unless the app or website had access to it prior, and fingerprinted you already [3].

Sophisticated actors can still do all of the above VPNs or not.

The trackers have it too easy and use IP addresses as a signal. Masking IP address is one signal less. Then, up the stack at the application layer, it's up to the end user to make saner choices. That isn't on a VPN provider or Tor.

VPNs could def do better:

1. Firewall known trackers server-side. Similar to how how browsers today block known rouge websites that have been caught phishing or spreading malware.

2. Stripe traffic over multiple exit IPs. Much like Firefox's multi-account containers.

3. Let the end user analyse their traffic client-side, and help them take control over what the client should send and not send.

4. Open-source their stack, and provide ability to inspect what's running on the servers.

5. Provide technically better internet experience by accelerating traffic over uncongested paths, provide better connectivity over lossy networks [4][5].

If VPNs aren't improving the experience and if IP masking is all you need, then remember, Tor is free [6], and is pretty decent in terms of speed and latency these days.

I loved "Why We Sleep" (was a HN recommendation, I think!). One of my biggest takeaways was learning to not feel guilty about it. I think the constant 'hustle mentality' ends up making a lot of this community (in particular) demonise sleep in an "I'll sleep when I'm dead" and "if I'm not working 22 hours a day I'm being out hustled!" When I 'forgave' myself for sleeping (which sounds mental, but bear with) and started to get a consistent 7.5 hours a day, I found that I was just working _better_. Smarter not harder, I guess? Focussed work is definitely > unfocussed work!
