That's part of what I was getting at, and what I talk about in the first couple links.

Lots of folks have used Redux because they were _told_ they "need" to use it. That's always been overkill. And, yes, there are plenty of other viable alternatives that overlap Redux's capabilities in various ways (Apollo, MobX, React context, etc).

So sure, it's not a "must-have", because you should _always_ evaluate tools and determine what's really appropriate for your use case rather than just blindly using something.

But, at the same time, Redux is still very widely used (~50% of React apps), and not going away. So, there's a big difference between "not an automatic must-have" (which is true) and "dead/dying" (which is not).
I remember a journalist did a story on webvan and how ridiculous it’s biz model was. They ordered a snickers bar, which was delivered by itself. The cost to deliver that snickers bar was multiple times the cost of the product.

How does this work for the claimants, do they get ~$50,000 each (it says more than 200 people but doesn't quantify it) or do the legal costs swallow up most of that
`docker volume prune` is specifically there to remove volumes, so backing up before using it seems to be mandatory, just in case. But yeah, if this is a bug, it's a nasty one.
> It's everyone's right to shoot themselves in the foot with dumb financial decisions.

The industry regulations would indicate otherwise. Generally, the “dumber” the money, the more regulatory protections that will apply. At their core, financial regulators are consumer protection entities.
5. how can I make $$$ from spending a few months writing a native client? Slack can cut me off anytime they get annoyed with me. So even if my client is better, they can decide i am a threat and cut me off.

Never build your future on someone else's platform.
It's not about the fakes, it's about trust. I don't expect perfect fake detection from a vendor. I can't perfectly detect fakes myself. I expect vendors to develop trust with their own sources like I'm trying to develop it with the vendor. I expect fakes to be non-existent or rare-enough in their inventory and for them to respond appropriately in case a fake does make it through. An appropriate response is not just to coldly refund my money and continue to allow the item to be sold in their store. An appropriate response is to refund my money, be truly mortified, and at the very least stop selling the item; if not stop doing business entirely with whichever distributor or seller sold them the item. (Also, my time is valuable; so I'd expect some recompense for the inconvenience which could act as a proxy for 'truly mortified' since I can't actually know their internal state.)
how can you measure the performance difference between an app that exists and one that doesn't?
They make it abundantly clear that options are risky.
OP here: they're the same article. This one is just under Slack's own domain name instead of medium.com.
Teams is winning because it's being bundled with Office 365. The business model and distribution lets them compete effectively with an inferior product. Slack doesn't have that luxury.
Filling in a from about what is important is just a proxy for voting.

I don't think an AI would help the Left/Right divide in this way because certain news outlets would still have the same incentives to manipulate what people desire in a more extreme directions.
More of just putting a bead of solder on a soldering iron tip and fixing that pin (best with a microscope setup). If you get the technique just so, you can do a form of "drag soldering" to fix a missing pin or two. Otherwise you can do a quick dab with a bead of solder since with most QFN's you can still see the side of the pin but you may need to rotate the board. I think there are a bunch of great youtube videos on doing that.

Getting a proper solders for QFN's really does best with a proper metal stencil. If you use JCL PCB, use their "electropolishing" option otherwise on fine pins the paste sticks more.

Removing and reflowing the part is tricky and often damages the part. Also to not ruin other parts of the board, a heat gun is often easier. We've never really tried reflowing parts unless a board didn't "bake" properly.
If you call them concentration camps, if you call them private prisons, if you call them anything besides detention facilities, you likely haven't thought about it much, because only a detention center will allow you to sign up to be let go back at the border. "Hey, I've decided this sucks, I'd like to head back home," is something you only say when being processed at the border in a queue.

I’m not a doctor, this is very much not medical advice, and I’ve only been looking into these recently, but it does appear that the Benzimidazole class of medications from that recent cured-by-dog-dewormer post [0] like Albendazole and Mebendazole, both FDA approved as antihelmintics, do pass through the blood-brain barrier [1][2], and is currently used to that effect as a standard treatment for neurocysticercosis.

It appears a neurosurgery professor at Johns Hopkins that independently discovered the link was interested in it for that very reason [3].

That's the present situation and I've used it before. Some recent Pis can boot directly from a USB drive without the need for a bootloader on the SD card. That's still in the works for the Pi 4 as I understand, but network boot (PXE?) will come before that.
I agree with the first of what you're saying but just wanted to add to others: Structured Code was a software engineer paradigm that didn't just mean "well organized" aka structured well; it was about specific constructs and conventions. Just as Functional Programming isn't just about having functions or being functional as in useful.

Also, I always think Turing Completeness is a red herring in conversations about Software Engineering. Turing Completeness is such a low bar, that it hardly factors into most conversations about the expression problem. It's most notable when the goal is to actively restrict completeness.

It's kinda like starting a conversation about birds and first establishing they have mass.

My belief has always been foreign capital (speculation) is bad, but immigration is good. So if you want to move here and bring all that foreign capital great! If you want to speculate or park money in Canadian real estate (empty houses and condos) that's really bad for the locals. It never should have been allowed.
> The PRC has never governed Taiwan yet essentially no governments call their imperialism what it is and tacitly accept their “unification” language.

Taiwan is internationally recognised as being part of China. What happened is that the Chinese government of the time fled there during the civil war.

The communists founded the PRC and the ROC government kept control of Taiwan.

Since then the question has been who to recognise as legitimate government. And this has changed over time.

What you're saying is like saying that South Korea never governed the North (or vice versa) or that East Germany never governed West Germany (or vice versa). While obviously factually true this does not diminish the fact that they are part of Korea or Germany as a whole. 'reunification' is the correct term, it's nothing to do with colonisation (what imperialism relates to).
Lisps are not in this camp by default, but in Clojure it's idiomatic to use the threading function to achieve a similar effect. For example,

(inc (inc (inc 1)))

can be written

(`inc` increments a number by one)

There are also several languages that allow method chaining. I.e.,

thing.inc().inc().inc()

The best response to this that I can give is a link to our blog post about this, where we break down why we pay local rates:https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/28/why-we-pay-local-rates/

So disclaimer, I work for GitLab. But the draw to working here isn't the possibility of making an SF salary, it's to work remotely for the same salary as working for a local company. I don't really care if I'm making less than a colleague in SF, because the benefit of working remotely while not taking a pay cut is already worth it. It's not for everyone though, so if you don't see working from home as a big enough benefit then that's valid.

> Their sync is top-notch.

Not really, occasional merge conflicts are par for the course with Dropbox. Never seen one after switching to Google drive with Insync. Dropbox is very inflexible, for example doesn't even let you choose your own folder name, doesn't work well when syncing across case-sensitive (Linux) and case-insensitive (Windows) file systems. It was a sucky experience overall. I am relieved I don't have to use it at work anymore.

That's not knowing China. There is a public opinion and a strong one on these issues.

It's not faked. As mentioned Chinese nationalism is what created today's China, not the other way round. The very existence of Hong Kong as a British colony is partly responsible for today's China.
>> "all this really shows is that processed diet was leaving participants more hungry so they ate more. "

This is 99.9% of the reason why people are overweight.

Every biological being eats until they're full(the body stops sending hunger signals). this is true for human, as it is ducks, monkeys, dogs or pretty much any other animal. For many, eating junk food/processed foods, breaks this satiety mechanism (and not just in the short run, there may be long term effects that prevent people from going back to normal).

Not being hungry, having satiety is the holy grail of weight management. Unfortunately, we don't have the means to produce satiety without calories. Yes, fiber/protein/micronutrients densities do help a little, but it does not help enough.

And there hasn't been enough studies on it. Other than the Holtz studies I haven't found much done on this subject.
Feds can't and won't do anything about it. It's etched on "Canada Québec accord". That's why Québec is infamous for bad immigration practices like QIIP.

Québec is indirectly responsible for BC housing bubble.
Amid Box Office Woes, Momentum Grows for Variable Pricing at Movie Theaters
The subtitle sums up the smugness of the article pretty well:
"What Happens When Mental Illness Becomes Coordinated".

Later in the article:
"For example, people who believe they are being gangstalked point to the many verified extensive surveillance forces that institutions use on the general public.
These can range from the collecting and selling of internet data to the NSA’s overzealousness that was exposed by Edward Snowden.
Conspiracy theory believers are not wrong to have concerns about these issues.
They cross the line, however, when they think their thoughts are being read or that the car they saw with the tinted windows was sent specifically to monitor them".
So the author thinks that anyone who is paranoid of the government is a "conspiracy theorist", more or less. The author obviously knows that mind-reading is a myth, because if mind-reading were possible, the author would have already known about it. Anybody practicing mind-reading would have published their protocols, and because the author has not heard about such protocols, they do not exist. Further, if you believe that a car is following you, you are apparently a conspiracy theorist, because cars do not follow people.

Here's another bit from the article:
"For instance, “Psy-Ops” refers to a type of surveillance operation that supposedly remotely transfers information to the brains of targeted individuals to affect their emotions and logic — in other words, mind-control".

This is simply false. The author didn't even bother to read the wikipedia article on the subject https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_warfare .

In conclusion, this is a bunch of drivel and just another useless hit piece on people who distrust their government, who the author claims are mentally-ill conspiracy theorists.
Phobia is a strong label meaning irrational fear or hatred. Skepticism of mainstream assumptions does not always involve irrational fear or hatred.

Multi-Queue Fair Queuing
I think the article makes the assumption that modern NiMHs are all of the Eneloop type. I think that's fair -- it seems like almost all the NiMHs I see for sale these days are the same type. The longer Wirecutter test article it references does go into a bit more about the history of the Eneloops and all the batteries it tested are the same type (which it calls "Low Self-Discharge NiMH").

Also, despite the title, I think the article is really "rechargeable" vs. "single-use". It doesn't explicitly say that the 10-year smoke alarm batteries are alkaline. The ones I've seen are actually lithium.
CCP see themselves as the guardian of the CCP, I'd say.

I think that there are other mechanisms apart from computation; the question is - are they operant in our universe? The implication of the answer being "no" is that we are automaton, free will does not exist (it isn't even an illusion, you are as much a puppet thinking about it as you are trying to change your fate. Well, moving on from there we can dismantle all of the morality and humanity of our lives and not change one jot becuase we have no choice. I don't believe that any one has observered anything that isn't reducable to computation, but then again, perhaps our cognitive capabilities simply can't do that.

Look you’re just repeating the same nonsense they are. I don’t even blame you. You’ve heard it so often so that it must be true. The PRC has never governed Taiwan. The ROC hasn’t governed the mainland for close to 70 years. They have separate militaries, currencies, and separate international relations. Hell they even trade with each other. They are two separate countries regardless of what either sides political claims.

Regardless you’re basically proving my point. People can argue anything if they want to. And when money’s involved people will argue whatever you want.
Gotcha, makes sense.
Everything I’ve learned about Nixon tells me he would have kept it to avoid losing to the USSR. This is exactly why he escalated Vietnam despite campaigning on withdrawal - they weren’t going to lose on his watch.
