> Well here's the issue, because if the project docs are unnecessarily complex then what hope does anyone have of learning the correct way?

The same way one learns about anything the correct way; the Tao that can be told is not the true Tao.

> No–the official documentation needs to speak for itself and be judged on its own merits.

Sure the documentation needs to stand on its own merits, as does he code itself. That's different than judging the code by the (de)merits of the documentation though.

“Redux is too complex” and “Redux has less-than-ideal documentation from an introductory perspective” are both potential problems, but they are distinct problems.
PEP-3136 was proposed and discussed more than 10 years ago in the 2->3 process. The python community was very different then. As an example, Python 3 was also the language that removed the function argument tuple packing, to which my reaction is basically WTF.

You definitely haven't been in China. Even when they blocked some VPNs, Apple devices are a million times better in China because it has the official app store.

You cannot begin to understand what it means to be forced to use one of those non-Google Play stores. Even if you set your device to English, Firefox will be in Chinese and you get a weird Skype version as well.

I mean it is a pretty interesting experience living Google-free on Android, and you could resort to APKPure to install some stuff like Whatsapp. But honestly, unless you get a Xiaomi phone or equivalent that you can switch to an international ROM, the whole experience is pretty annoying. Spam calls and text blockers on Android are the main highlight though.
I'll disagree with you on that last point. We specifically encourage that pattern - treating actions as "events" that any part of the reducer logic can respond to independently, rather than "setters".

Now, it's certainly true that _most_ actions will only be handled by a single slice reducer, but having many slice reducers responding to the same action is an incredibly useful pattern:

So I have had a very similar experience, with some unique flavoring. I was also quite overweight when I was young, so I experienced a lot of bullying. I missed most classes and graduated high school with truancy, and a 3.8. Ultimately, the thing that installed some hard work and discipline for me was Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.

After years of just understanding things with no effort and easily outpacing most peers, I was the worst (by far) person in the room at a mostly intellectual pursuit. I was lucky that this stuck, because a lot of people describe it as decreasing depression (there is a lot of physical content and group dynamic), you meet a lot of people so it helps with enhancing social skills, and the physical exercise goes a long way. Beyond that, knowing how to protect yourself gives you a lot of confidence with strangers, for better and worse.

I hate being the guy that shouts my religion to people who aren’t asking for it, but I really think a lot of people would benefit from this. It’s had such an impact that I donate to some charity that gives free lessons and uniforms to under privileged kids in Oakland. Check out a martial art, it’s a more thoughtful way of exercising, and you may hate being the worst person in the room enough to learn how to get better.

> Seriously, say I am building a company worth 100m on paper. You think if I marry someone she should be entitled to a large fraction of that? Why? Let’s assume she doesn’t do anything with the business. Say she was an accountant when we met and continues to be one after. Sure, she can’t tell me what mansion to buy, etc, but those are things to work out. Am I a guy to totally ignore her desires? If so, she shouldn’t marry me.

Alternatively, say you are building a company worth 100m on paper, and as a result, when she ends up pregnant with kids, you insist that she should work less hours, or maybe stop working altogether, in order to take care of them. (After all, you are busy building a company worth 100m on paper).

You don't think she is entitled to a large fraction of that? Why not?

Marriage isn't meant for you to protect your winnings from the Silicon Valley startup lottery; it's meant to allow for partnership, which includes earning your way in the world together and making choices together, to benefit the family, with security for both partners in the worst-case event of a divorce.
I think we're very similar. I've been pretty successful in my life (I'm only 29 so there's plenty of time for critical failure), but the way I observe the value that I add to my workplace and peers is totally different from what I see others doing. I know that I'm smart, that I'm creative, and that I can solve complex problems. I struggle with a lot of "basic" things, like reading a whole paragraph before diving into solving a (the wrong) problem, or speaking so fast I mix up or jam words together.

I also have just a crippling fear of failure, so bad that I just never do anything that really tests my abilities. I failed an Amazon interview 10 years ago and I can't bring myself to give a fair shot to most tech companies.

It's also rough knowing as I type these words on this website that they may come back to haunt me, but I suppose in this moment I'm willing to commit to being honest.
I too worked in France. I hated the long lunches, since it meant you left work at 6 or 7 in the evening. I’d rather be out the door at 5 (like I do now in the US) or 3-4 (like I did in some previous Swedish jobs) than spend the entire evening in the office.
I will gladly take any suggestions on how we can improve the docs in general, and the tutorials specifically :)
“I am the only Burns allowed in this facility.”
I think that is specifically the point. The copycats automate and improve, then dominate.
Local variables aren’t stored in a dict, likewise when a class has defined __slots__. Globals, modules and usual classes do use dicts internally, but locals do not. So from the efficiency standpoint it’s (almost?) the same. I haven’t checked the bytecode, maybe there is some slight difference.
so i should write a whole other function that iterates over a list instead of being happy that := exists?
"It's just metadata."
Sideloading would not fix built-in malware that cannot be removed. You would have to flash the device with a ROM like LineageOS, at which point you would have a FOSS (excluding drivers/firmware) system which you can (mostly) trust. F-Droid is a repository / app store of good free Android software apps that you can also mostly trust, which you could then use to add functionality.

But just sideloading would not do much.

Killing Kafka: The Pitfalls of Over-Architecting
While not official, doesn't conda solve this problem? (Except for not containing the latest versions).
I was in gifted classes growing up, but it felt like a big fraud. I never really did any of the work, so my grades were always mediocre at best. But then testing came around and I'd score in the top %s, and continue to get placed in classes I wasn't willing to work hard enough to succeed at. It was this treadmill of failure and shame. It was really really awful, but my mom always said if I placed that high I had to take those classes, so I just kept going. It was definitely a pretty damaging process.
It's not just me. It's 100+ years of psychological evidence. It is the strongest psychological test we have. The military uses similar concepts in the AFQT to determine suitability for recruitment and advancement for certain positions. The military has been using concepts like this since World War I, where it was important to scale up a military quickly. Our survival depended on having smart people with disparate educational backgrounds (remember the U.S. was much more rural and less educated than today) in the right places, rapidly. How do you do this without IQ tests?

'One study on nine groups of soldiers differing in job and reading ability found a correlation of .96 between the AFQT and reading achievement (Sticht, Caylor, Kern, & Fox, 1972)... Another study obtained reading scores for 17-year olds for those same ethnic groups and dates (Campbell et al., 2000) and found a correlation of .997 between reading scores and AFQT scores.' [1]

'Cognitive ability tests taken at age 11 correlate 0.81 with national school examinations taken at age 16.' [2]

Note that .96 and .81 are huge correlations. These results have been replicated across 100+ years of psychological research across cultural boundaries and across multiple disciplines.

Can you make up for lower IQ with higher work ethic? Yes, but like a shorter than average NBA player, you're going to be at a disadvantage. By no means does the existence of shorter than average NBA players suggest that you should expect shorter than average men to be just as likely to succeed as taller than average men.

Buffett's strength is in downturns - when stocks are "on sale". He needs ready cash for that. He dissolved his first firm because times were too good.

He might be increasingly at a disadvantage for web companies - OTOH, I don't think anyone really knows how to value them long term. YC does well picking "stocks" pre-IPO, pre-revenue, pre-product, but an utterly different model (and long-term still unknown).

YC startups passed $100B last year, are $155B this year. 7% ownership is $10.85B. How long before YC overtakes Berkshire ($348.7B)?
Good catch. This actually seems like a reasonable revenue model tbh, probably increases the barrier for people to just host random meetups (although iirc to actually "run a meetup" group you have to pay something like $50 as a recurring membership fee, so maybe not), and actually making meetups more cohesive in the sense that you actually paid SOMETHING to show up. But I might be overthinking it.

This is spot on, and I'm going to call it for what it is. Just another way of Google creeping on user data to improve their products. The same way they do with fonts, email, ads, etc etc etc.

Tech Ethics Issues We Should All Be Thinking About
Well, currently switching off JS entirely is the single best way to block abusive web site behaviors, but there's obviously room for improvement. There are valid use cases for ordinary websites (as opposed to full-featured web apps) to use JavaScript, but that shouldn't by default extend to sensor APIs, messing with scrolling behavior, using unrestricted CPU time, or loading third-party scripts.

This is what confuses me the most: the pronouns usually listed by people who insist on listing them are third person pronouns. How do you use a third person pronoun when talking to somebody to reference the very same person? Or are "he/him/his" etc actually second person pronouns? I.e. if somebody listed pronouns as "they/them/their" should I say "Hi, how are they doing? Can I offer them something to drink?". I hope this is not the case and these are really third person pronouns but then I fail to see how you can use them when addressing that person in a one-on-one interview (since it's "the interviewer" it was a one-on-one, right?).

PS. In Russian there are two second person pronouns and sometimes people will ask if it's appropriate to use a less-formal singular "you" instead of default plural "you" but this makes no sense in English. There is just one second person pronoun.
It's obvious you're not naming the company out of self preservation. It's also obvious the people running these companies have no shame or fear of legal repercussion. Whatever social norm/political system is allowing both of those things needs to be attacked with full force.
I think if I were going to be diagnosed with a mental disorder it would most appropriately be GAD, though it's said to be a common comorbidity of ADHD so who knows. I practice mindfulness, which helps a little when things get bad.

I go back and forth on it, though, because (as I mentioned) I've been successful in "real life" without any kind of psych treatment and looking back on my childhood "bad" decisions that were held up as evidence of my badness and the necessity of medicating me, e.g. neglecting my summer homework in favor of playing outside every day, I have to say that a lot of them (including that one) were great decisions. The worst thing was that the world was unwilling to let me be a child, and the best thing was that I said fuck you to the world and was a child anyway. Big thanks to mom and dad for not normalizing me with psychotropic drugs—I truly believe a lot of people can benefit from them, and I also believe they would have stolen something from me that could never be repaid.

What if the world had simply accepted me for the person I was? There would have been no need, then, to engineer some misguided praise in the hope of turning me into something that I wasn't. I don't practically expect the world to be fair, nor to supply a weirdly-shaped hole for every weirdly-shaped peg, but I'm not sure it's best to reach for the DSM-5 whenever such a peg appears.

I’m going to take this as tips for working effectively with others remotely because that’s the main problem that needs overcome. So...

Buys real over/on ear headset. No one wants to hear your bad audio through some AirPods.

Use zoom and get a (silly and cheap) team domain and everyone forward their name as a sub domain to their slack meeting room so you can get in a video chat with zero friction.

If one person is remote then all team activities are remote even if everyone else is in the office (remote first team). That means everyone needs a real headset at their desk.

Both of those things. It's a horrifying feeling. Your arms and legs go numb almost immediately. Every time you move your arms and legs it feels like they weigh a ton. I was only in the water about 5 minutes then around 0-1°C. I couldn't imagine swimming a kilometer like that.

I've also done swift water rescue training in freezing rivers. We wore dry suits for that. But you feel it even in the dry suit.

- yes, it's server side.

- Most FUD about the AGPL is about the urban legend that suddenly you will have to publish the source code of all your other services: it's dawn wrong.

Can you name three such sites?

As a non-US nor Chinese national, I find it interesting how the US keeps creating these artificial enemies. Of course the Chinese are not pro-America but they are very much self-contained and just interested in making money. Aside from internal old and new revolutions, China have also had a long history of not invading other countries.

I can understand that the US feels threatened by the massive competition created on the other side, but this is very rapidly leading to a similar situation like the anti-Japanese mentality that ended up stigmatizing a whole swath of people based on ethnicity alone.
