Great theory (and love the reference mp4!) but I suspect it's not fov. GoPros have a fish eye'd lens on them, and a high field of view.

I think you are on to something with the amount of stimulus though. I ride a One Wheel which... has one wheel, and the nearer I get to top speed the less speed it has to balance me.

The sensation is different. The wind is blowing harder on my face, I have to scan and process each ridge and change in the road, my balance is different, is that car opening it's door? is it going to turn, that drain cover is bad need to lean to avoid it, car behind me can't go left, does my front foot have too much force, intersection coming up slow down, speed up no cars, turn signal are they going to cut my lane... etc.

Meanwhile if I'm sitting in a car, well... 20mph is nothing, I'd barely notice it. The wind sensation is gone, I'll go straight if I don't touch anything, people respect my area since I weigh 2000 plus pounds.

The perspective is different, the level of sensation is different. It's similar how a go kart feels a lot different then a car in regards to speed despite the fact both are four wheeled motorized vehicles.

React itself is written in Flow, but the React team doesn't make any official recommendations as for language or static type syntax to use.

That said, a recent survey of /r/reactjs readers [0] showed 50% using plain JS, 48% TS, and only 2% using Flow . Given that the React ecosystem probably has the most Flow users, I'd say it's safe to describe Flow as dead.

From my viewpoint, TS has more than hit enough critical mass to survive for the long term:

- Microsoft is heavily invested in its ongoing development

- The Angular community requires use of TS

- Per that stat, it's reached solid adoption in the React community (see guides like the React+TS Cheatsheet [1])

- Where CoffeeScript introduced new syntax entirely, TS's focus on being a superset of standardized JS means that there's both less to worry about compat-wise _and_ it can be seen as a way to use new language features instead of Babel.

So, seems like it's going to be around for a while.

I wrote up my thoughts last year on my own experience learning and using TS from both an app dev and library maintainer's perspective [2].

Sadly Microsoft is still terrible with naming developer products. There are 2 Blazors, the server-side blazor (which works like Phoenix LiveView, and then there's the version of Blazor that will target WebAssembly and run completely client-side.) The WebAssembly 'version' of Blazor is still experimental. Server-side Blazor is production-ready as far as Microsoft is concerned (I believe.)
I liked the options API...

what I found is the composition API is actually nicer to deal with not even considering mixins. Because things are grouped together you don't end up moving around your files so much so it ends up being quicker.
> He’s given $38 billion to his foundation so far, on track to eventually give close to $100 billion.

In other words, he gave himself the money via a tax protected vehicle? How noble.

> What, exactly, is he getting in PR that’s possibly worth $38+ billion?

He's not paying $38 billion. He still has it. That's the point. He's paying nothing for good press. Getting people to defend him for moving his money from one place to a tax protected sheltered and being praised for it. Kinda like how you are doing it.

> And his foundation’s charter even specifies that the money needs to be spent within 30 or so years of his death, meaning he doesn’t get the sort of immortality Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford/Lilly did.

"Spent". You mean setting up other charities, scholarships, etc are set up.
Interesting as I would of thought fitness video's would need tighter latency due to the beat, but then, that can actually work in your favour as the beat will be way less than a second, so could always sync upon that for what would appear to be perfect sync, yet 1-3 beats offset beat out of sync and yet the illusion of perfect sync.

With workout videos usually 120-140 BPM, sub second, let's say 1 second for ease on 120 BPM would be 2 beats per second and so a sync of 2 beat offset would be spot on. Now a 140 BPM would be 3 beats, but you get the idea. By syncing the beats with an offset to cater for the latency and the BPM, you can give the illusion of perfect video sync. More so when doing repetitive motion to that beat, just seems like it would work really well. Certainly makes management of latency a much more easier task and allow for buffering as well depending upon how many beats you want to offset, so could handle latency spikes and brief drops. Which again, makes the things easier when you can control and fix latency , though as you can't do that, planning it out of the equation is always a treat. Food for thought perhaps.

But it is your baby, you pick the formula you want to feed it. But hope you do well whatever direction as certainly has potential in many avenues. Remote rave anybody :).

You're right the tooling could be better and that TS trips up beginners. Promises trip up beginners as well though but that doesn't mean they're not standard.

TS is very, very close to being standard practice. It's already being used by over 50% of JS developers [0]. It doesn't have to be beginner/tooling friendly to be widespread.

I cannot, as it was for a past employer and the code is not open-source.

I used TamperMonkey to include https://www.papaparse.com/, then injected a button into a web page. The user would navigate to the "start" page, and a button would appear, it was just a normal form button. They would upload a CSV, which I slurped into a cookie, webdb... and something else. That would then walk a known set of URLs to scrape the unknown URLs and click the required buttons to trigger javascript calls by the website itself, before building a further set of URLs to navigate. It would visit the "final" set of URLs, gather the info into a secondary CSV, then walk back up to the entrypoint before going to the second entry.

At the end, it would download the secondary CSV to the users disk in a format that was uploadable to another system.

The entire thing was in a single if statement because I was just learning JavaScript and did not know any other way to get around async problems at the time. :)

It was ugly, but worked awesome and since writing it several years ago has probably saved 10s of thousands of hours.

I think very highly of elixir and Jose. After 3 months of using .NET Blazor in production, I can say that LiveView and Blazor have some trade offs that people don’t talk about.

For those that don’t know what they are, they basically keep a websocket connection open between the client and server to allow the client to call Elixir and C# functions instead of javascript frameworks that call some rest api endpoint. You can write HTML click listeners that are in the server language rather than js.

It’s powerful, but there is a latency trade off since most UI events end up being handled by the server, the client might notice this latency in the UI. Blazor specifically has issues with connectivity, which means your client is completely locked out of the UI until a manual refresh.

It’s true that this is certainly a paradigm shift, and maybe just a stepping stone to web assembly web apps written in a server language.

I haven’t used LiveView, but I can imagine it’s better than .NET at scaling since it runs on BEAM rather than the CLR, which means it’s likely the better choice if you will need to maintain a lot of client connections in your app.
USPS’s New “Premium” Tracking
But they shouldn't have to have heard of ACME to use it. If they're hosting your software on a publicly-accessible server, the UX should be roughly:

- user checks box that says they want certs issued automatically.

- your software handles the rest.

Of course there are plenty of details for the engineers to work out, but the end user shouldn't need to know any of them.
There's considerable evidence that Amazon lost this because the President doesn't like The Washington Post.

Even assuming the accusations against Amazon are true as well: what's worse? (a) A vendor gaining unfair advantage and overcharging by 10%? Or, (b), the President using the power of the federal government to punish journalists for criticising him?

The Washington Post was, by the way, the newspaper that uncovered that the Trump Foundation had spent their complete budget at Trump properties or for personal expenditures such as the famous painting.

This was several million $, all donated by members of the public, ostensibly intended to help veterans. These accusations lead to a court case, which the foundation lost, requiring it to be shut down and his children being barred from serving on non-profit boards in the future.

So, to answer the choice from the beginning: if you choose (b) and allow the WashPo and other media to be pressured into silence, you'll lose the free press and still get the corruption.

JEDI aside, I feel like Azure has grown in leaps and bounds... meanwhile AWS has rested on its laurels because they were the first major cloud and so many people adopted them early and either are stuck or in denial about where Azure is at. Even Microsoft shops that would benefit from tighter integrations and quicker feature releases seem to only really consider Azure an afterthought and will use GCP for specialty cases in lieu of AWS.

I'm not trying to be a fanboy for MS, but I've found Azure much easier to adopt personally, and their tooling especially around databases can work really well. With AWS I feel like with every service I have to try out 3 or 4 third party tools for development which causes a ton of overhead and risk of using a tool that changes direction or stops meaningful development. Whenever I try to challenge the status quo people at work react like I'm an idiot. Although, I'm not suggesting to a heavily-invested org that they should switch clouds, but just asking questions like why we are heavily using RDS SQL Server when Azure SQL-whatever-version-you-want would work even better and often cheaper.

I wouldn't get too excited about a PR letter from a Microsoft lawyer.

IBM and Oracle made early protests that were dismissed, but Amazon's was sustained. Note, Oracle is appealing the dismissal of its protest.

This is regarding the injunction that is in place now:

In the ruling, the judge said Amazon was likely to show that Microsoft offered a “noncompliant storage solution” to reduce the costs of its JEDI bid and that the Pentagon “erred” by not issuing a “deficiency” to Microsoft’s proposal. The judge concluded that Amazon’s “chances of receiving the award would have increased absent [the Pentagon’s] evaluation error.”

IBM and Oracle also protested the bidding/RFP process. Their protests were dismissed twice so far. Once by the agency and again by a judge. Oracle has appealed the judge's dismissal of their protest.

In contrast, Amazon's protest resulted in an injunction because the judge determined it was likely Amazon would prevail in trial.

A Ridiculously Long Chain Reaction Brings Social Distancing to the Dinner Table

No, they don't have enough microcode space for this, and the data paths in the CPU that Spectre and Meltdown affect are not programmable with microcode. The microcode updates have been hamfisted, usually amounting to a massive hammer. E.g. the first "hardware fix" for variant 2 (branch target injection) was to make the BTB not shareable across hyperthreads. The fix worked. It was to completely disable the BTB for indirect branch predictions altogether. Ha! That'll confound any sharing of it!
