Yes, basically all frameworks became React-like after the success of React.

In my opinion, the only one that got a really interesting take on components was Cycle.js, the rest simply tried to bend their APIs to look more Reactish.

It made me think about those hoarder reality TV shows and how there is a digital equivalent of that.

As a third generation hoarder this is how I tried to tame it - I started hoarding data instead of things.

After a few major losses(a social network local to my country shut down without providing any option to export the data, I accidentally started formatting my backup drive after I just formatted my main drive) I developed a healthier relationship with my data.

I'm still reluctant to delete things, but now I can at least bring myself to do it.
Yes, it is true. The modern web really is becoming an unusable, user-hostile wasteland, and also is very slow, very complicated, very messy, etc. The web developer tools help a bit, at least, but not quite. But better configuration for web browser should also be better. (Of course, there are also some good web pages too, but they are making a lot of bad ones too.)

But (as another comment says) documents should not be apps; they are should be separate. (Although there is the case where sometimes you want to embed apps in documents, such as to make an interactive demonstration of some algorithm, or to include inline currency conversion, to validate or autocalculate a form, or whatever. But the document needs to be readable even if the code doesn't run, and the code probably shouldn't run by default. Also, I think such embedded apps should perhaps be separate frames even if enabled, and do not need to do as much stuff as is now exposed to JavaScript interfaces.)

The modern web is also overused. Often, there are better file formats (e.g. plain text), protocols (e.g. IRC, NNTP, Gopher), etc, that can do as well, or better. Or even existing features of HTML and so on, which you can use but they use worse ones instead.
> Even early calc instruction tends to be broken-- we make things complicated over various historical analytic crises, but then we take enough shortcuts in explanation that we still need to relearn half of everything when we take an actual analysis class.

Take a look at Calculus Made Easy. It's non-rigorous - it uses infinitesimals without the machinery of non-standard analysis, instead of limits - but it presents the material in a clear and concise way such that just about anyone who can do basic algebra and computations can learn the material and develop an intuition for how calculus works. Once the intimidation factor is gone, they can go back and learn about epsilon-delta etc.

This is just using GANs to generate fake profiles. It does scale better than making up fake people by hand, but to what end? I'm not sure if there's a direct relationship between the ease of creating fake accounts and their cultural influence. And it seems like facebook doesn't have trouble detecting them.

The people with the controls in their hand aren't the people deciding what to put the controls at. They're told where to set them, and they do it or report that the mechanisms have failed.

The reason for this is that the people making the decisions have more important shit to worry about. Things are different when your primary concerns are getting shot at and shooting back. In war time it's not atypical to get your engine or rudder shot out, and if you have someone who has one job - to set the rudder - he'll notice and diagnose it a lot faster than someone who's tasked with avoiding incoming fire, bearing weapons on the enemy, etc. Distribution of responsibilities is incredibly important in war. Combat tends to break down careful, considered decision making.

Also keep in mind most of these people aren't seasoned. This dude was just out of high school. Information overload is a thing.

I stopped all use of cannabis vape pens after reading a study that found lead often leaches into the oil cartridge over time (I believe from the pen and/or the metal contact on the cartridge). I imagine there could be other risks, as well.

Vaping is definitely safer if implemented ideally, but it looks like the ultra-portable solutions are mostly still pretty sketchy.
We are on a site which is not. And there are lots of other sites which are not. And Ublock Origin makes much of the rest of the web quite usuable.
From my reactive, emotional side, I would argue yes.

From my rational, informed side, I would argue no. Here's my rationale.

The data stolen from Equifax has not shown up on the black market and hasn't been actively used, which suggests this was a nation-state using the data for something other than profiting from fraud. This also suggests that the hack could easily be considered an "act of war", so given enough time+effort+resources, no company would likely be able to resist that breach (although I know Equifax could have done FAR better than they did).

Technically I don't "own" the data that Equifax has about me. Equifax owns the collection of it, their reporters (ex retailers, landlords, bank/mortgage companies) each own a shard, and other data aggregators who contract with any one of these actors can own part/all of it.

I am not Equifax's customer. They are required to deal with me based on a few rules defined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act, but the FCRA also provides some protections for credit reporting agencies who don't violate those rules. I'm sure they minimize the effort/resources they devote to helping credit consumers because that is the profit motive of every company.

I'm sure Equifax has a ridiculous EULA/ToS that I probably implicitly agreed to when I used the AnnualCreditReport website, and probably additionally when I deal with any retailer that pulled credit reports from Equifax (including the IRS after the breach was revealed). It likely involved me signing away my rights to a class action litigation or my rights to a trial by jury, because that is par for large contemporary corporations.

The standard for "protecting consumer data" is remarkably low except in a few sectors (ex. healthcare, retailers storing credit card data), and even in those it's still disheartening. The problem here is that companies can easily argue to {regulators, judges/juries, their BoD, cybersecurity vendors} that they can't be expected to spend more than the industry average because that hurts them more than the competitors. This just becomes a Prisoner's Dilemma where our data's security becomes the victim to corporate (in this case credit reporting bureau) self-interested decision making.
It was a democracy, but it was not what is known in political philosophy as a liberal democracy. A liberal democracy is one that respects human rights. So India under the rule of the BJP is transforming from a liberal democracy to an illiberal democracy.

This is not surprising, since liberal democracy is a modern western concept, but the BJP holds that traditional Hindu culture is best.
In this case it doesn't seem all that mystifying why they are shadowbanned: they have a history of inflammatory, low-quality comments.
i’d say that multiprocessing probably covers 90% of “do it in the background” tasks, and asyncio covers 90% of async networking tasks

futures, uvloop, tornado, twisted, coros, gevent, etc are kinda just all related to, or do similar to asyncio

threading is kinda not as useful as you might like in python because of the GIL (simplistically, assume that python can only do 1 thing at once regardless of having multiple threads available or not until you know why that’s not always the case)

> Pages are just documents and should not contain any code. Apps are fine to contain code. The problem is that we now have pages that believe they are code and apps that have to be styled using the mechanisms for pages.

Javascript was intended to script HTML pages long before the concept of a "web app" was a thing. A divide between static documents and "apps" never even existed in theory, and with very few bleeding-edge exceptions, apps are also documents.

> Even having that object is state.

There is mutable state on the conceptual level, i.e. what is modelled, but not on the language level abstraction of an object.

There is no mutable data/state on the language level, at least how things are understood in pure functional programming.
But of course mutable state in the real world (for lack of a better term) can still be modeled there.

Equifax: YOU NEED THIS PROTECTION. PAY US... or else maybe there will be an ACCIDENT with your data

Me: No, I don't, think so. Shit, sounds illegal to me

Equifax: WHOOPS. We had an accident.

Me: WTF? [calls authorities]

Equifax: Well, let us make this right, how about we now give you some _free_ protection as a sign of our goodwill... you know to try it out... just in case that WHOOPS ends up being a problem for you.

Me: [looks at response from authorities] This is okay? This is fucked.

I wish this were true, but unfortunately cheaters win and growth (of money, power, or both) trumps all other motivations for some people.

Competing is hard. Why compete when you can buy elected officials and change laws in your favor?

The sad truth is that lots of value-destroying and/or cheating companies succeed for decades.

- all of the heavily subsidized US industries like corn and oil
- Nestle, Coca-Cola, and other companies monopolizing and selling public water
- many grad school programs
- Mercola
- countless Chinese knockoff brands on Amazon
- the House of Saud
- Susan G. Komen Foundation
- Intuit/TurboTax
- Amway
- almost all fund managers
- HerbaLife
- Donald Trump
- most ISPs, cable companies, and mobile carriers
- many (if not all) major defense contractors
It takes a lot to move an average by even one percent across millions of people. Look at a chart of say life expectancy across these countries and it seems almost flat by comparison. The wide spread here represents significant differences that have huge impacts on people’s lives.

Also, 1 minute * 261 work days a year * 40+ working years = 174 hours extra commute time per person. Thus, are talking well past 3,000 hours longer than the best country on this list. Or every walking hour for more than six months for the average working American over the average Portugal worker. So, I am not saying every EU country is doing ok, just by comparison it’s clear the US huge issues in this area.
Agreed! I picked one up and learned about ADSB protocol and usage, and now have a live view of the air traffic in my vicinity. Sure, I could use one of the websites that tracks that info, but there's something about viewing it on your own equipment.
One particular annoyance (present in this post) is the FB pages.

Many business only have online presence in FB and nowadays I think you can’t even check reviews or e.g. the lunch menu (perhaps depends on the A/B test part you fall in).

I left FB many years ago and no way I’m creating a dummy account for the same reason shown in the post (requires a phone).

So I just give up and can’t blame the business owner since the person probably went for the straight forward free choice and didn’t have to learn anything new but FB, I truly hate it nowadays.
Some additional bit of trivia: in Portuguese, you capitalize every letter for any acronyms of length <= 3 or those which you pronounce each letter separately like HTML. Having said that, for foreign names like NASA, you follow the original country's grammar rules so we'd never write Nasa

Google should not fire people for this. If they are paying a good wage they should simply offer that wage. If the workers strike, they lose pay, and google loses their work product.
Workers should rely on their savings and not be able to use the cash of other workers at other places, unless google can also draw on other funds to buy in the work not being done.

As someone who has web apps in production written in backbone.js, Angular, and React, I can say selectors with Reselect to transform all the data being passed into props, Sagas to manage all async workflows, and Ramda with Redux reducers is pure fire. There is no business logic in components or containers unless it is tied directly to the view and layout, not for the data. It is such an easy way to reason about huge amounts of data coming into the system from lots of different places. For performance, everything gets memoized based on object references. Using the immutable data structures in the store, Reselect keeps the transformed data cached with memoization until the object reference is changed in the store.

If you don't understand how having several times as much code as needed, reproducing features also provided by thoroughly-tested Standard libraries, creates reliability risks, this probably will not be the place you learn it. But you could try.

People promoting "safe" languages that don't support encapsulating powerful semantics in libraries prefer to downplay the risks in not having access to such libraries. Needing to open-code the same features, or rely on less well-encapsulated semantics is a fertile source of real-world bugs.

In the race to reliable systems, access to and use of sound, well-tested, usable libraries multiplies efforts.

Downvoting people because you don't understand their argument is disgraceful. Ask.

I don't vape or use cannabis so am ignorant. In what way is lead used? I would have thought that a metal with a low melting point out not be found near a heating element.
Backside processing is standard in the CMOS image sensor industry. Turns out all the metal on the front-side makes it very difficult to get light down to the silicon where the actual photon-electron transduction takes place. Backside imagine (BSI) has been standard for quite a few years.

Wafer thinning is used extensively in stacked-die products which have become common in recent years.

This looks like an incremental change applying the tech from image sensor/memory technology to standard silicon. Although, I'm not sure why they chose ruthenium.
Among other things including DOM scripting, yes... but there was never any historical intent to consider HTML pages which used javascript at all as being something fundamentally separate to pages which didn't, or something other than documents.

Smith's attachment to the LTV was not really misguided - it was arguably the foundation of thought about value and price.

Lead still doesn’t melt that easily. 470 celcius is really hot.

You might be thinking of solder which is easily melted by resistive heating. But that is because its alloyed with Tin and the combination has a much lower melting point than either metals.
