That document does not itself follow their own advice (perhaps due to being part of another web site with their own CSS stuff), although a few web pages do, The example they give, like below (although I entered different text), is good way to make a web page, although a rather simple one. It is also rather readable even if you do not have a web browser (or won't open it just to view one document).

"You can build a robust, reliable, and fully responsive web application today using only semantic HTML on the front-end. No images. No CSS. No JavaScript. It’s entirely possible. It will work in every modern browser. It will be straightforward to maintain. It may not fit the standard definition of beauty as far as web experiences go, but it will work. In many cases, it will be more usable and accessible than those built with modern front-end frameworks." I agree with this. But, they say it is not the best approach; well, sometimes it is, I think (not always, but perhaps usually, especially for documents which are not "apps"). It is much more usable and accessible, and I also think it actually does look better too (especially considering, if the user configured their browser with the fonts and colours they want it, then the user will be satisfied, I think).
However what about the USC and the NYC studies? Are they wrong too?
The Postgres git repo doesn't make it easy to discover the employer of the commit authors, but yes, they do send patches to Postgres, here is a search of commits referencing mailing list discussions started by Amazon, plus a couple of examples of where they sent patches:

Barring a miracle, mass production of a vaccine is at least 9 months away. Likely more like a year+

There's no better treatments coming. We've been fighting viral pneumonia since the dawn of medicine and the tool kit is pretty sparse. Finding anything nearing a cure or even a 20% improvement is wishful thinking.

Our health care capacity is adequate. NYC got to ~30% infected and while I'm sure none of the medical workers want to repeat the experience the level of care remained good. Any capacity increase is going to come with only marginally improved outcomes.

There's no purpose in extending the lockdown. Either we can get back to something resembling normal life and control the spread or we can't and everyone gets infected. Extending the lockdown is just delaying that day of reckoning.
How much has Amazon really decimated "Main Street?"

Wasn't it already decimated by the big box retailers and Wal-Mart?
But those doctors clearly don't have a good grasp of basic statistics. You cannot extrapolate cases for a whole state based on test results from a non-random sampling of people. They are making a basic error and claiming to be experts, that deserves some shaming in my book.
I converted a medium-sized React codebase from classes to hooks. In most cases it simplified the components and eliminated boilerplate. But it also introduced more than a few very tricky bugs and serious performance regressions that were not trivial to fix.

Copyright is abused, yes. People want to write anyway, yes. But you need time and resources and space to write, review, edit.

Some novelists spent years collecting rejection slips (e.g. Stephen King; Larry Niven did it full time with a trust fund), which is probably irrational. But with no pot of gold at the end, only the properly delusional or wealthy could justify that investment.

OTOH copyright enforcement isn't that effective, so publishers meaninglessly vary textbook editions yearly, with expiring access to essential online content.
I for one preferred the diplomacy.

The 'magic' involved in hooks is a tradeoff; there are real benefits in the way you can consolidate logic, or mix in behaviors. Personally, I strongly prefer hooks to HOCs.

Many technologies have magical behaviors and are still very popular and useful (Rails comes to mind). I'm really liking the pros and cons being brought up in the rest of this thread.
But who would host the workshops for her? Who would pay her to write more? She was rejected multiple times from multiple publishers.
It's like "Let's buy something not made in China"... Amazon is very convenient and at some point addictive (same day or 2 days delivery) way of online shopping. They got big enough that now they can dictate rules. So unless some other company with really great customer service, delivery speed, and return policy comes up, Amazon will be dominant in the US and Europe. Alibaba/AliExpress is an asian amazon.
Your neighbours must be incredibly shitty people, then. I think the problem in this case are not the rules, but the neighbours.

As for against the rules, so is going over 60 on an interstate... Yet four fifths of my regular morning commute would be doing it. Back when I had one.
Being a parent, simply put, changes your priorities. It’s not about you anymore.

Just be patient - in a couple of years you’ll be checking on them to see if they’re still alive - because they won’t need you as much.

Being close to extended family helps - getting a weekend off from time to time to recharge does wonders.
Do you have any examples of projects destroyed by Amazon? Or a definition of what you mean by "strip mine"?
>> If the serological studies coming out are accurate

That's a BIG optimistic assumption to make. And every optimistic assumption that's been made relative to COVID has only fucked us over further. I'm not sure I'm ready to buy into that yet, cuz if it's off and the CFR is tipped the other way, we could be talking up to 30M deaths, not just 250k...
>It's interesting that the original appeal of React was that it was "just a view library", but now apparently it's more like a "language".

I feel like that "appeal" was part of the marketing but the designers always wanted to create a new language. I switched a fairly large webapp from Angular to React pretty early on and I remember thinking that Flux (the design) was designed by someone that wished they were programming in OCaml instead. The whole "constants.js" for actions felt like a kind of defeat that they couldn't have unions and pattern matching in JS.

I agree with you. I don't like copyright either. I think it should be abolished, but would also accept to greatly reduce the duration and scope of copyright. That is why I write stuff to be public domain instead.
You think it is acceptable that our government either: A. Has no plan behind what they are doing or B. Has a plan, but is refusing to share? Because that's my reading their press release. Please enlighten me why you feel that the current state of affairs in disclosure and planning regarding the future of the lock-down represents leadership on the correct side of competent?
And I think that the major cause of this is parents' pressure. I experience it myself (also 16yo) and I see my classmates experience it to.
Example: A group of us are doing a CAS project (required for the IB diploma) and we'd formed a group of boys. Before we finalised our group, one of the guys said (I kid you not) that his parents told him that having a girl on the group would help him on college apps. I wasn't opposed to the idea, but the motivation was clear: he didn't want to do it for diversity of opinion, he wanted to do it because his parents said so.
And the attitude of the kids extends to how they perceive others. There's almost a hierarchy of students in my school: the ones that aspire to first-tier, second-tier, and so forth, to community college at the lowest step on the ladder. Students in the higher steps have internalised what they've been told about the college apps process, and scoff when someone suggests that maybe the community college or state college route is best, so that you're not saddled with student loan debt.

With regards to smartphones, I find that I have almost the opposite experience. My high school has the same three tiers as yours: IB/AP, Honors, regular classes. I find that smartphone use is generally the same across classes, yet it is done more openly in regular classes, under the table in Honors, and in the IB/AP classes, they resort to using their smartwatches to type (generally because the IB/AP kids are richer, another bad part of high schools in the US).

Also, wow. Your school doesn't have anyone dating? In my school there are many carnal relationships among students who take the regular classes.

>When major decisions must be made amid high scientific uncertainty, as is the case with Covid-19, we can’t afford to silence or demonize professional colleagues with heterodox views.

How much scientific uncertainty actually exists when it comes to climate change and its causes?
That's due to differences in your workload - in e.g. Ruby on Rails, the total uncertainty of which objects are going to survive a request means that jemalloc does a much better job at packing.
Going to try and build this one out. Parcel looks like it makes a lot of the heavy lifting easy. Nice one OP.
From the WHO link, 4 people died, and they were tracking 300 contacts.

So a million times less severe.

Conspiracy Theorists will rant about the WHO being a China shill though, you can never win.
Thanks. By the way, the STAT article links to https://undark.org/2020/04/24/john-ioannidis-covid-19-death-... in which Ioannidis is quoted:

> “We have been working very hard to address all the comments raised by many colleagues and I am always grateful to receive constructive criticism,” he said. “While we received thousands of congratulations for this work, I cherish far more the comments of the scientists who criticized our work and I thank them deeply for their comments.”
The names of the institutions will be shared while you're alive.
We have partner institutions for monitoring deaths and if that doesn't work, other family members can notify us via the dashboard. We then validate the death report and assist the family members in accessing the estate.
That paragraph is questioning the conclusion: how deadly the virus is, not the data: how many people died and how.

Seeking an alternate explanation for the data, which is what scientists do, is not the same as denying the data, which is what zealots do.
>Why are we the only country that is begging to reopen?

Because as time goes on we learn that the virus is not as bad as first feared. And more people are being negatively impacted by the varied costs of the lockdown.

Do you think that a continued lockdown will have a significant effect on the final death rate from this disease? As long as the hospitals are not overwhelmed, what will be the difference in the end?
For some reason Salt Lake City has (or had? I haven't been there in ~8 years) a fantastic cafe culture. Lots of art and culture centered around places like 9th and 9th and Greenhouse Effect (before the current dickhead owner bought it). Last I saw though, places like The Rose Establishment are doing their best to squash the culture and bring in SF coffee culture, meaning pretentious drinks, rude waitstaff, and a sea of dudes at their own tables with laptops covered in <company they work for> stickers.
I thought the purpose of SIP orders was to prevent overwhelming hospital ICUs. Covid case numbers are upstream of that but it's not 1-1.
Covid-19: Only 268 cases and no deaths. How did Vietnam with 97M people do it?
I’m sure the protocol is fully privacy preserving, now. But if we give an inch, the government will take a mile. This is about normalizing self-surveillance and isolating ourselves in response to notifications on our phone. Sure, the tech is privacy-preserving now. But who’s to say an emphasis will remain on privacy in future iterations of the technology?

Personally, I will not opt-in to this technology, and if forced to use it, I will leave my phone at home. It’s a small act of civil disobedience but it’s a necessary one IMO.

It’s alarming to me how so many in tech seem welcoming of, even excited for, this technology. I say this as someone who wrote my senior thesis on a subject related to privacy enhancing technology, so I’m familiar with the ideas.
I’m confused. Isn’t this already true without Disney having to antagonize anyone? Similar to the Instagram/Mashable court case?

I feel a strong division of producer/corporate vs consumer in Reddit today. Every sub is more or less a “fan community” defined by something external, something its userbase only communicate with over the counter, and that doesn’t happen elsewhere.

Amazon doesn't distribute Linux on server hardware (just consumer hardware like the Kindle) so they don't have to give back for server aspects of Linux like KVM, yet in the Linux kernel code, the Amazon employees are mostly submitting patches for things like KVM, not for Kindle hardware support.

It would surprise me if Amazon use FreeBSD, I thought they use Xen & Linux KVM exclusively?
What about false reporting?
Graph databases are efficient in exploring multi-hop relationships which are common in many business scenarios. So basically if your application needs to query n-hop relationships all the time, then graph database is a better choice. Some main use cases include real-time recommendation (product/content/shop), risk management like fraud detection in the financial services industry, knowledge graph and machine learning, etc.

Newegg was purchased by a Chinese company in 2016 (https://www.techpowerup.com/226777/newegg-now-owned-by-chine...). I've been told their customer service has went down significantly after being acquired.
I didn't want to mix topics, but if you're gonna go there...

As a European, I wholeheartedly agree.

It's not a new sentiment either. The US has grown increasingly hostile towards the world since the turn of the century, Bush Jr.

Needless to say, 45 made things way, way worse, but the US made that choice and is poised to double down come November, despite the criticality of current events. The why and how does not matter to the outside. Dems/GOP blablabla, corruption blablabla, Biden blablabla, Hillary blablabla... who cares? Get your shit together!

It's worrying (at an all-time high as we speak) for foreign states and companies. For many around the world, being too tied to the US has become a liability indeed, adding too much uncertainty (risk) to their bottom line or stability. This is no more acceptable than China's lies and deceit. Humbling reminder that hostility is not without consequence, and pretty much always results in lose-lose outcomes.

Losing the US as a dependable, reliable world leader has been the most tragic loss of this century, in my opinion.
What’s mind-boggling is that Bezos is still a billionaire after all of the suggested changes. The amount this affects his day-to-day life is slim to none. He’d still get to be proud of his wealth in the new system!

I have a hard time feeling like large-scale preventable deaths of six figures of real human children is worth Jeff Bezos’ warm tummy fuzzies he gets when he thinks about being unfathomably rich. Instead of thinking about whether innovations like Amazon would have materialized in this brave new world where people can actually get their malaria treated and have access to clean drinking water, consider: how many people might have made something just as game-changing as Amazon, but died a preventable death, or lived on, but weren’t given the same resources to survive and thrive as someone like Bezos?
That is not how science advents, not currently. Collaboration takes a backseat in science when your name, reputation, career prospects are in the line.

If you advance an argument that lack proper and vigorous proof, I have no reason to hear you. I will however tear your work to pieces. As many pieces as I can, so I can ride that train as long as I can.

That's how science advents currently. Otherwise all of us academics would be building our work on top of each others' collaboratively and productively. Minorities and women would not have been shunned out; graduate slave labor, and adjunct faculty would have been unthinkable.
Students Have a Constitutional Right to Literacy, Court Rules
The part I found non-obvious is how to snapshot the unbounded vectors of immutable registers, which is a requirement for any real system. But I never gave it a whole lot of thought either.

To snapshot, I either need to find an epoch such that no older epoch could ever have relevant information for the current node, or I need the nodes to agree on a snapshot. Both seem complicated.
This. So much this. You are 100% correct. Hooks are incredibly stupid. No, your component is not "functional" because you don't use the word "this". You still have a "this", it's just fucking secret now so your debugging is harder. I could go on about all the other reasons hooks are stupid, but JavaScript is largely a cargo cult and I'm a nobody so I'd just be wasting my breath.
If the boy who cried wolf was fined by the townsfolk, he'd be incentivized sooner to stop, and they'd still be motivated to turn up. This doesn't work for impecunious boys, who under this theory should be left to the wolves.
> But I think a world in which proprietary content must be totally vertically integrated with a non-owned proprietary device is at least an honest way to enforce artificial scarcity.

In addition to all of the other objections, the biggest failure here is of the technical measures to actually prevent copying. Even when it's prohibited by law and the pirates are a bunch of hobbyists, DRM gets broken time and again. You can imagine what would happen if copyright didn't exist and then breaking the DRM allowed for-profit businesses to legally distribute any of the content they extracted.

Copyright without DRM >>> DRM without copyright.

Though it should definitely be one or the other and not both. If copyright exists then DRM is not only useless, its existence is pure harm because all it adds to copyright is restricting things the copyright doesn't give the copyright holder a right to restrict, like free speech and fair use.
You're pointing to an information problem that has little to do with non-excludability. A prospective funder faces the exact same issue anyway! And crowdfunding has been used to fund many sorts of good/service provision where non-rivalry is an issue. It does appear to work quite a bit better than other market-based options.
I've always wanted to see what could be done to unify all sources of temperature change in a house to a central compressor.

fridge, dryer, water heater, forced air.

Bonus points, bring the sewage line into the fold, heat exchangers can extract heat off of hot water in the line from showers/baths in the winter, and dump heat into the line in the summer from the hot side of the compressor.

While true, and I am willing to work with (and contribute to) software licensed by GPL and other free software licenses, my own programs are all under the public domain, because I am against copyright. I believe in reducing rather than increasing legislation, in general, so that would mean is better to abolish copyright. Even so, if copyright is abolished and then someone does copy it and won't release the source code, someone can legally reverse engineer it anyways, give them a bad reputation, or whatever else it may be. Furthermore, abolishing copyright would not mean abolishing trademarks, so you can still refuse to grant permission to use your trademark. (I also think that in addition to abolishing copyright, patents should also be abolished. Trademarks should not be abolished, but perhaps its scope should be reduced.)
Yeah the Digg migration is what killed the site, IMO.

Now that I see this comment thread, I really need to stop visiting that site. It was clearly dead by 2016 and it's only getting worse now. Even subs like /r/ExperiencedDevs and /r/CSCareerQuestions are terrible.

I don't think this is true? Also for what it's worth I've spent time on the roofs of a lot of apartment buildings in the bay area and seen many solar water heaters. Newer buildings and homes tend to just have solar panels if anything, though.
It's been a decade, but a friend in a college town just north of Dallas had an off campus apt for $300 a month. I had an off campus apt much closer to everything for under $500, similarly a friend even closer had an apt for $500.

The prices are a lot cheaper in a lot of US metros than the tech centers.
Running Tmux for Termux on a Chromebook (2018)
I win a contract to deliver mail to the moon. $5B per delivery. 1 per week. My costs are $25B + $1B per delivery (we're making this up). 6 weeks, I'm making 80% margin per delivery.

Suddenly a bunch of people want to live on the moon. Rebid, win contract that says I now have 10 deliveries per day. I don't have enough rockets to support 10 deliveries per day, so I need to build a lot.

I also need to do it extremely quickly. Instead of $5B per rocket, I need to pay $10B (expedite, overtime, shortages, etc) in order to meet my contract's deadlines. My capacity also means, I can no longer rely on existing launch sites, $100B to build my own launch site plus an additional $1B per launch.

As long as I can keep my position on this contract, I'll make mega bucks in the long run, but short term I'm hemorrhaging cash.
