My local bank has a native app as far as I can tell and it regularly takes over 10 seconds to get past the login page. My credit card (Discover) app somehow won an award for best UX in the industry and still takes over 5 seconds to log in (both of these are with Face ID by the way).

Contrast this to Robinhood, which jumps from cold boot to main screen in about a second.

The problem is not the frameworks, it is poor development practices. Until the big guys learn that outsourcing critical software is a stupid idea, the next generation cool kid apps will continue to eat at their customer base (until they become relevant enough to be bought out by the big guys, and the cycle repeats).

This paper does a weird thing by introducing complex numbers and then presenting a code solution that effectively implements dual numbers [0] while still calling them complex:

"The new version of the complexify module has
been improved by using the new function definitons discussed in the previous section, i.e., definitions that use the original real function for the real
part and the derivative of the function multiplied by
h for the imaginary part, rather than the complex
function definition." (emphasis mine)

Dual numbers ( "a + bE", where E [usually small epsilon] is a symbol defined by E^2=0, but E itself doesn't equal 0) are perfectly suited for automatic differentiation [1,2], so this paper is accurate. I just think it's confusing, probably especially for someone new to the topic, to kind of conflate dual and complex numbers in this way.

Cross training. It's easy to lose institutional knowledge when someone leaves if they are one of the only people that has worked on their projects. Much harder to lose that if you do even minimal cross training. Even if it's only once a quarter, have each person sit with someone else, have that someone else explain their job, their major projects, their details, pitfalls, strengths, etc. Lots of notes should be taken. A knowledge base should be a given, but that will only take you so far. A side benefit is such a wider picture of what's going on will better inform the work of everyone, keeping people not only on the same page, but understanding all the details of how those pages interact.

Edit: Yes, they'll hate it, but this should include a tour of duty Sales. Poor relationships & acrimony between sales & dev are based on a failure of understanding each other's jobs. And sales are the closest to the needs of customers, short of sitting with customers themselves.
Have the key personnel fully participate in knowledge capture. As far as the tool to be used for capturing said knowledge, don't waste time...Just use the fastest-to-set-up and the easiest-to-set-up wiki (or something similarly fast and easy). After the key knowledge has been captured, and likely after the key people are gone, you can look to see if you even need to migrate to a different platform than the original wiki. Knowledge transfer can get tricky in general...but since you're on a time constraint (key people leaving), don't waste time with UI or prettiness, etc. Just capture all the things!

Your point is well-taken with Hangul, but what about, say, English?

Does the string-reversing function receive "English" and output "hsilgnE" or "lishEng"? What if the string matches no known words (e.g. alphanumeric passphrase)? What if the string represents a single syllable (e.g. "was")?

Thinking of strings as connected to vocalized syllables only makes sense with strings meant to represent syllables, sure, but even that can lead to counterintuitive results.

I know you weren't defending the idea of a string-reversing function, but your objection is not exactly grounded in principle, either. That is, when you ask

> Why would reversing 겁 into 벅 make sense?

one could easily say, why wouldn't that literal reversal of the phoneme make sense? I understand it doesn't, but that's the problem with Unicode reversing-functions.

An occasional 1 bit correction is very common compared to chipkill, so there is a huge benefit to ECC without chipkill. In fact, with 1000s of servers, I've never had chipkill give me any benefit. I guess I'm too small to see the effect from chipkill. But yes, I do see 1-bit corrections.
@alexbakker: could you please make code in the snippets wrap at least when viewed on a phone? I gain nothing from them being non-wrapping, while having to scroll back and forth to read. In each editor I've used, code soft-wraps at screen edge, so I don't even understand where this trend came from.

What's the story behind this? The author is Rachel Kroll who was a production engineer at Facebook. Based on the post it's clear she left Facebook for another opportunity and has been there just over a year (just enough to vest) and left because the company's culture is irreparably broken. The only hint about what company it may be is the title, which suggests she's referring to Lyft. That said, I couldn't find any LinkedIn or other reference via Google to suggest that that is where she went after Facebook.

> It is highly unlikely that anyone will build this and attempt to treat a patient at home without reading anything.

I’m not going to pretend that 0% of the human population could manage a ventilated patient with nothing but the appropriate texts, but it’s pretty damn close to 0%. Hell, a fresh third year med student would almost certainly kill a patient in that situation, and they’re at least supposed to understand the relevant physiology and drugs.

The vent is a tool for adjusting a couple of physiologic parameters, in the context of what is usually severe and complicated disease. It doesn’t manage anything by itself, and it’s not a RTFM situation.

Like you I've also instinctively always been opposed to task private companies with civic duties but in particular seeing the direction both the US and China are heading in terms of privacy I'm begrudingly almost feeling better with companies taking on stakeholder roles.

I don't really have any illusions that most of the entrepreneurs aren't full of it when they talk about values but nonetheless it's incredibly sad to see how strongly the very largest governments fail in advocating for civil liberties.
It does not favorably compare to SARS-CoV-2003.

15%-25% have severe symptoms. 5%+ critical. Of the first 100 cohorts in Wuhan with critical symptoms, 49 died (2.5% mortality rate). Patient-1 in Italy is a 38-year-old marathon runner. He is unconscious, intubated, and fighting for life. Doctors say they need "luck".

Doctors and nurses are dying from this. They did not die from treating patients with the garden variety flu. Conservative estimates put the mortality rate at 2.3%, with only room to grow as people die years later.

If you have severe symptoms, but are send home to self-quarantine, because the hospitals are over capacity, death rate is estimated at 80%-85%.

From the article:

> A remarkable 57 percent of people who owned their own home supported Johnson compared to barely 22 percent for Labour.

This analysis is deeply superficial. Let me suggest a trivial alternative to the suggested interpretation: that people are more likely to own a home as they grow older, and that the primary division between Conservative and Labour voters in the last election was by age.

e.g. https://twitter.com/drmuig/status/1205796472194830336

Now, my writing this doesn't prove my claim, but I've already demonstrated an alternative take on political "allegiance" that seems at least as likely as the groupings suggested in the article.

It's lovely to wave one's hands around like this Quillette article does, painting broad strokes and telling big stories. But the handful of citations at the end do almost nothing to prop up his story, which while not implausible, really needs more substantial evidence to make it believable.

Almost all of the students are going to be somewhere between 17 and 23 years old, so you first do one pass as a bucket sort for each of those seven values. Then sort the remaining students however you want. While it's technically still O(n log n), almost everyone is sorted in that first pass, so it's practically indistinguishable from O(n).
discovery != bringing a drug to market
I know how hard that can be. It's all about quinoa or potatoes, and then building a meal around those. Eg, fish or a meat and mashed potatoes with a side of veggies is super healthy, gluten free, and super good. Or, if you like more Asian tasting foods, you can make a curry and instead of over rice do it over quinoa. Quinoa is cooked the exact same way as white rice, in a rice cooker, but it can be cooked with broth, not just water, which allows the quinoa to be paired to the meal. Eg, beef broth quinoa + thai yellow curry chicken can taste better than with rice.

In the US there are tons of gluten free options in super markets, from gluten free hamburger and hotdog bus to gluten free dinner roles, and within the last 5 years or so some of the new gluten free breads are shocking. You wouldn't know they're gluten free. Out here they tend to be in the freezer section instead of with the normal bread because they'll go bad quickly.

I'm not sure if there is any Whole Foods or similar in Luthuania but you can probably find supermarkets with the same mentality. Basically, find the most expensive grocery store in the nearest decent sized city near you and you can start there to see what kind of options exist in that area. There are good gluten free bread options, at least on this side of the world.

My great grandmother had Celiac's, so I grew up on a lot of gluten free home cooking. After decades of being on a safe diet (she never cared to eat out to begin with) her Celiac's died down and towards the end of her life she started to be able to eat gluten again, but we limited it to one meal a week, just in case.

Back then, all gluten free bread was home made. This is always an option if super markets are limited. If companies can make absurdly good gluten free bread today, then there are probably recipes out there just as good, but they may be hard to find.

So that covers the three basics: rice alternative, non-gluten by default meals (potato or similar is usually involved), and gluten free breads.

If you've got fresh cod (or similar) around you, I'd recommend starting with gluten free beer battered fish 'n chips. Making home made french fries is a lot of fun too, but can be a bit of work. There are some gluten free meals you can't go wrong with, often better tasting than you can get at a high end restaurant.

Every day it will get easier. You'll get into a routine and before you know it you'll have more great recipes than you'll know what to do with.
Wow. Ok Thank you. This morning looking at it I was blind to those widgets.

One of the corollaries to this is that if you are basing your decisions on analytics, you are probably under-representing people who block them, who often tend to be a non-representative subset of your users. I have seen multiple projects do things like stop supporting features that their analytics “showed nobody was using” but failed to realize that a significant portion of their (often technical and very vocal) userbase did in fact use the feature.

Oh, and by the way, responding to these kinds of issues with “if you wanted your voice to be heard, you should have turned on analytics” is inexcusable.

Of course the motivation for your comment is easy to deduce. It's okay, WalterBright gets downvoted sometimes too.

I assume I am being downvoted because I didn't read far enough to hear the author pivot into a tangent about green energy (which was apparently wrong, and which seems to be everyone else's focus). While Quillette's mission to highlight well-formed ideas that are unpopular may seem admirable, it cannot escape the fact that most people simply don't like to make public statements — which means that people who want to talk for the wrong reason are over-represented, no matter your ideology.

I just had a serious case of "read this one before" syndrome and I think both of those links are enlightening (and less distracted).

A few reasons.

1) Fear of Indian sponsored proxies and being squeezed from both sides. An India friendly Afghanistan presents an existential danger to Pakistan's interests. Pakistan does not want to be encircled by hostile powers.

2) An unstable Afghanistan means possible anti-Pakistan elements taking root. Better to sponsor known "pakistan friendly" elements like the Taliban instead of unknowns.

3) Defense in depth. Pakistani military and political doctrine would use Afghanistan as a redoubt. Most of Pakistan is extremely flat until you get to the Hindu Kush/Pamir mountains. The idea would be, let India steamroll the flat lands, retreat into the mountains and cross the durand line, coordinate the response from Afghanistan.

I know almost no JavaScript. I know C and asm and python. So... looking at the two, guess which one looked better to me?

The code for Dart just makes sense. It’s not beholden to JS or XML or HTML or CSS. It just does it’s own thing.

If you are heavily invested in JS, I bet there are aspects of Flutter that are still appealing, but if your aren’t invested in JS, I see no reason to get in just for React sake.

I simply don’t agree. It’s not Apple’s responsibility to make products that compensate for bad national governments.

And I reject the claim that the scale of the issue is different between a phone and a games console. Who are you to say that a games console can’t be used for secure communications by protesters? That is equivalent to saying that we should be more concerned about crackdowns against journalists than against political satirists.

Can you cite a source for this claim?
Even in the developed world, governments have an enormous amount of process overheads and forgo optimizations that are otherwise obvious in places like a startup. This is for a reason aka very high functional guarantees which require extensive peer-reviews and associated approvals by a long hierarchy of authority in order to avoid corruption and abuse of its monopoly. This is the stuff free markets don't have to worry about. This is not a myth and no need to pull any strings. Anyone trying to prove that governments are economically efficient agency has a far harder task in theory and practice. This is why countries that limit government functions to things like defense and infrastructure often achieve faster and better economic efficiency. The countries which have expected the government to function like business to provide any and all services in return of payment called taxes have performed much worse.
