> As React webapps get large and start to contain a lot of complex components, they often do not perform well and manifest low FPS in browser.

Is this something you have actually experienced? Can you cite an example of running into this issue? I've built fairly complex UIs with React (tables with nested dropdowns, financial statements with a lot of data points, dynamic charts / graphs, elements with animations, etc. and haven't run into this issue.

The only time I've seen people have trouble w/ performance is when they use something like Redux or Apollo on top of React. The problem in those cases of course is Redux or Apollo, not React itself.
You are correct. Browser fills in missing tags, closes elements, etc. Try opening blank page in any browser and inspect it: you'll find html, head and body tags already placed in DOM.

Saying that "this is not true", doesn't make it not true. And repeating it wont make it untrue either. Slow clap for your logic.

Also, if this would be so untrue, we wouldn't have studies like these in the first place.

But please, tell me whom would you believe sooner in a case where a man is being accused of sexual harassment, or even rape? Even if it turns out that the woman was falsely accusing him, the damage is already done. He lost his job, he receives death threats, he's being doxed, etc...

At that stage it really doesn't matter what the outcome of the court rule will be, that man has no life anymore. And what will the accuser get? One year? Maybe two?

It is the same as a father rarely wins a court case over who can take custody of the child. The mother needs to be a drug user and a very bad person for even being considered to be unfit for parenting. And I know, I have friends who lost their kids to their abusive wives.

"However, independent contractors, who can have limited liability corporations or other incorporated entities in their own right, do not have many of those rights, including the right to collectively bargain."

I am not inclined to believe this is correct. As a hobby, I am a musician and a member of The American Federation of Musicians. Through them, I have done quite a few gigs where I was not an employee of the place I played, but they did the collective bargaining.

I imagine if Uber/Lyft drivers want to form such a union, that would be an extremely powerful way of doing such.
Then it follows you'll want to stop making critical and naïve comments of those that need and want the choice to protect themselves.
Apologize if this is not the right place to ask for help.

Two days ago when I began to develop a web site backend, a strange thing happened. Visiting "mydomainname.com" in Firefox v66 gave me back error message saying site not found, but visiting "mydomainname.com/index.html" (or index.php) would be fine, the content of that page was returned.

After one hour struggle, I used another browser (and my phone) to open "mydomainname.com", and it worked fine! It returned the index.html page. So it's not the issue of the default file setup.

Did I miss something obvious? I felt stupid. I am now using Chrome but I would like to come back to Firefox. Thanks for any help.
"Uber is effectively trying to have it both ways,". I realize people here are not going to want to hear this, so maybe a "trigger warning" is supposed to be provided here, because folks may have dreams of unicorns they don't want shattered. That phrase pretty much sums up the whole tech/startup sector that has been pumping out abusive "disruptors" that are simply exploiting unfair competition as they ignore laws and regulations, let alone even fundamental principles of social compact that keep the peace that law and regulation abiding companies stick to at their own peril.

Uber is a great example of this process, even though Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and all others are equally guilty of this abuse. As Uber was "competing" against a taxi industry that has been hogtied with regulations, Uber just simply ignored the regulations and laws and used corruption to hoodwink corrupt officials into ignoring violations of law and regulations by claiming they don't apply.

The "having it both ways mindset" ... a kind of ultimate entitlement ... that drives the tech industry is not really all that different actually than the "sovereign citizen" argument ... "i'm immune to laws, but I have the right to use the commons to my heart's extent". The only difference being that the unfortunate sovereign citizen psychopaths don't have the money to corrupt the system that the tech industry has accumulated.

It's interesting that they bring up the CAP theorem, because they've chosen to go for the two prongs of it that generally not preferred. Data consistency in my opinion is of utmost importance.

Though I may add it still looks pretty interesting
A single analytics loading script and the tracking payload is larger than the gains from the removal of these tags. Most pages have more than one script and payload too.
Yeah, or if people returned to using HTML the way it was meant to be used instead of using a JavaScript framework on every page.
> We're talking about gifts and donations they have no rights to and that Facebook has no obligation to give.

I'm not a lawyer, but I'm not sure this is true (everywhere or anywhere in particular). A donation has to be a donation, free of stipulations. If you say you intend to give a donation and you say that if you don't get certain policies then you won't give the donation; then its clear that you intend to receive a service for your donation, making it a business transaction (and potentially an illegal one).

As I said before, there are easy ways to accomplish the same thing. You're just not supposed to explicitly say "if you don't give me what I want, the money stops".
> Facebook is not necessary because it's owned by a private corporation

I didn't say it's not necessary because it's owned by a private corporation, I described its private ownership status to emphasize the fact that Facebook is private property that users don't pay for, not something that anyone is entitled to use. I'll accept that my wording did not communicate that idea clearly.

> Even if we assume that there is indeed a correlation and it's Facebook that tends to cause bad mental health, it does not mean that Facebook is bad for the mental health of everyone in every situation.

You are correct. My point is to illustrate the commonly accepted understanding within our society that time spent on social media is generally considered unproductive and correlates (not necessarily causes) mental health problems; your reasoning is akin to suggesting that Fortnite is a necessity because its the most popular online game in the world. It's not.

> Or do you have higher standards for "need"? If by "need" you mean that it's impossible to live without Facebook: Same for electricity. If you just mean that it doesn't cross your personal threshold of what constitutes "need", then you're of course right, but why should anyone care?

Sigh. So you really are going to make me explain why "electricity" is a need but "Facebook" isn't. I'll use the same example I used down thread. If you were to shut down the electrical grid tomorrow, hundreds of thousands would be dead within 24 hours, if you were to shut off Facebook tomorrow, it would be a moderate inconvenience to a lot of people but everyone would survive and most would move on within a month. That's why one is a "need" (electricity) and the other isn't (social media website).
Wolfram is looking for publicity on hackernews isn’t new but getting very tired of this spam .
Yes, that's what they worked around in this release and you can now register a U2F device with Firefox for Google Accounts. See their announcement blog post https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/04/04/shipping-fido-u... and the mozilla.dev.platform Intent-to-Ship post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/mozilla.dev.platform/q...

tl;dr (as I understand it): existing Android phones using NFC/Bluetooth U2F devices only speak the old U2F protocol, not WebAuthn, so if Google switched to WebAuthn registration, then you wouldn't be able to log into your account on Android, and they want to wait until all those Android devices die off. (Apparently it's in the part of Android that needs vendor updates, not in Google Play Services, so this reduces to the previously unsolved problem of Android OS updates on old devices.)
The world does not need Facebook. If Facebook went away, people would use another service to find and communicate with businesses. Businesses would use another service to be found and be communicated with.

But today, people need Facebook because businesses (and other people) use Facebook and businesses need Facebook because people use Facebook. Facebook is completely replaceable for society, but that doesn't make it less critical for many individuals.
How would they build an aqua farm? They can only hunt (or fish)

Farming arose in response to scarcity. Dolphins live in abundance and only take what they need. Humans horde.

How could they paint? They can only nudge.

In the sand.

How could they do sign language? They can only squeak and flap.

Why do they need to? Are any dolphins deaf? Regardless we don't know they can't. Perhaps they can see many details in their physical movements than we think are relevant.
This is exactly the same argument with Apple making a Phone. You can read what Palm, and Blackberry have said during the iPhone revolution era. And we all know how that turns out.

Your Phone isn't really a phone anymore. When was the last time you actually make or receive a call on it? Vs doing something else, Gaming, Content Consumption, Taking Photos etc. Despite using the name Smartphone, your iPhone is more like a Pocket Computer, or what Apple envision Newton in the 90s. A pocket computer that can also make a call when it needs to.

It is the same with Cars, AV ( autonomous vehicle ) will be nothing but a massive Computer with Batteries running on Wheels. Having said that, I think we now know Full AV isn't coming any time soon, at least not in the next 3 - 4 years. But there will be lots of R&D between now and then. Apple had lots of pieces of iPhone tech even before they started, and they still need 4 years to make it work. The Apple Car, or Project Titan will likely take a lot more time .
Here's a quote about Mark Antony from "Caesar, Life of a Colossus" by Adrian Goldsworthy. Good book.

"Antony returned to Italy after Pharsalus and was effectively the supreme authority there from January 47 BC until Caesar's return in the autumn. He was a gifted subordinate, but his behaviour became less and less restrained during these months when he was largely left to his own devices. He feasted often, both lavishly and very publicly. His drinking was on a staggering scale — later in life he wrote a book on the subject, which seems to have contained many boasts about his prowess — and he is supposed to have conducted much public business while only partly sober or at the very least suffering from a hangover. On at least one occasion he had to interrupt a meeting in the Forum in order to vomit in sight of all. At times he processed around the country in a great caravan, riding himself in a Gallic — presumably British — chariot, followed by carriages containing a famous actress who was currently his mistress, while another carried his mother. The whole column was incongruously preceded by his lictors. Apart from dressing up as Hercules, some sources even claim that he experimented with a chariot pulled by a team of lions. Apart from this mistress, he had a number of scandalously public affairs with senators' wives. Mark Antony revelled in power, and his conduct was scarcely likely to convince moderate opinion that Caesar's victory would bring anything other than tyranny in the long run."

I don't understand why everybody is dismissing any chance of retaliation against for instance Apple. With this they're killing a major player outside China, that's about half of their smartphone sales ($52B revenue). I don't think China is going to take it just like that.
The current administration sees China as a huge threat, the previous several administrations (republican and democrat) did not. Or if they did, they thought the way to deal with the threat was through economic cooperation.
They held off for a very long time, and I'm glad they did that. I'm also glad they switched, because the alternative is that either you don't use the most effective security option available or you stop using Firefox, both of which seem like even bigger long-term problems.
I tried this for a summer, it really did lead to easier to read HTML... although now when I go back I’m not sure which tags can be omitted and which might be errors. I think it’s probably a net negative trade off but still not certain.

The thing you're describing is almost exactly a university medical center: a non-profit staffed with doctors and researchers running research projects. They also have the technical and administrative staff to run them properly.

Most professors at a medical school don't lecture very much, but are instead responsible for running research programs like the one you're describing. They either do this on their own, or as part of bigger consortiums. I'm mostly interested in brain stuff, where there are some big imaging+analysis collaborations. The Human Connectome Project collected about 1200 subjects' MRIs, plus a bunch of related health data. The Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initative is doing something similar, with a focus on neurodegeneration. I would imagine there are similar ones for the rest of the body.

Most people start on these projects as grad students, coming from biomedical programs (Neuro, Bio, Psych), engineering, physics, CS, or even math, depending on exactly what you want to do. There are other career tracks though--some people get hired on as research assistants or staff programmers, either attached to large programs or as permanent staff at big universities or institutes. These positions are a little harder to find, especially since RA can mean anything from "will train" to "needs PhD + 5 years experience". They often pay a bit better (though not tech industry levels), but have a bit less freedom.

The US actually funds a ton of biomedical research through the NIH (and NSF and DARPA), and is probably one of the better bets for running large, expensive studies.

Ah yes, you're right. I forget a lot of those browser behaviors that haven't much consequence on my work.
Thanks. Your revised syntax looks so much cleaner. I'm interested in learning Guix because I was hoping the syntax would be cleaner than Nix's. From a dev ops perspective Nix/Guix is the way to go. To me, the syntax plays a great part in coming up to speed and trying new stuff without going back to the manual.

My understanding is that Guix is 7 years in the making (at least) so is there even a remote possibility that syntax revisions like the one above will be considered?
The difference is Jobs' obsession was limited to consumer electronics, more or less, and he pushed the company to focus heavily on a very limited range of products.

Is there a rash of poor people destroying their lives by trying and failing to build a startup? I don't see any. Worst case scenario seems to be they fail and get a regular job with the new skills they built while creating the startup.

If you are in india the emotional blackmail and the pressure to marry before 30 is a huge hindrance. In india a graduate has no real world knowledge when he gets out of college. It takes about 6 to 8 years to get the confidence in coding and creating something. But by the time the marriage is done and no way to take risk. To be honest the salary earned by women is like an additional income and never considered primary income in 99 percent marriages.

I agree. Plus, you can't peer into the layers underneath your software – if I'm writing code in Python or R, everything underneath me is there for inspection, if needed.

The only real problem she identifies is "noise". (I'm not sure what the "bad externalities for the environment" you point to are). You trade the inconvenience of noise (noise when you don't want it) for the convenience of noise (ability to hear/see/be involved with what's going on outside of the kitchen). That's one unintended consequence (or was it intended?)

>She draws attention to the richer people escaping to their man caves and sculleries, they wouldn't need to do that if their house wasn't a cacophony of noise and smell to begin with.

I don't buy this. All homes have private spaces. Man caves would not go away if we all just closed off our kitchens. It implies that the "man cave" only exists because of the open concept, but for that to be true, it would have to mean that it's replacing the living room, which I think you can hardly conclude from the available evidence. When was an "enclosed" living room a paragon of privacy?

It seems so utterly bizarre to go from "combine kitchen and dining and living room" to "complete and total loss of privacy". Again, we still have private bedrooms and offices, those with more space in their homes have still more separate spaces.

There are implications here that we had to build bigger houses to replace the lost 'private' space, but I hardly see the evidence. The closed-off houses of yore, with their formal dining rooms and walled-off kitchens, were hardly tiny.

>The open floor plan coincides with the decline of cooking and the replacement of hosting with entertaining. Kitchens are fake anyway. Of the families who I know who actually cook meals, who host their friends and relatives as if they were honored guest to be waited upon, none of those prefer an open kitchen.

Again, thin. Plenty of folks have chimed in here who prefer an open concept, and plenty of folks who prefer a closed-off one. Like my own household, we cook every single night, and prefer the open space.

>It's a value shift in what it means to prepare meals, she prefers the old fashioned values, most people no longer do.

This is an unsupported conclusion. Again, it's a quasi-pejorative that making your own meals means you prefer a closed off kitchen. That's just not the case. Different people have different preferences, but this condescending attitude that real people who really cook hate all this new fangled nonsense is just not based in fact.
