I would bet Uber has created wealth, a lot of it. Uber didn't just sway rides from Medallions, i would imagine it increased rides by manifold. Note: Not considering environmental impact. (E) I'm not saying it's a flawless model, but you can't discount how it led to more people taking ride shares in contrast to car ownership. I think this is obvious in urban areas.

Genuinely curious about this cycle of opinion on Hacker news. It's trendy to shit on these companies until it's not.
Nothing you've brought up in the article is actually optimization though? "Use const" and "reuse code" aren't optimizations, they're simply programming.

The submitted article is fairly similar in some sense. You address optimization but skip out on the most important step of optimizing - measuring what you need to optimize. Tacking memo, ref and key onto everything isn't free and if those parts of your application weren't the problem you're actually making it slower.
I have a dedicated server at Hetzner for 25 euro a month. I get an i7, 16 GB of RAM and 2x3 TB in RAID 1, which is nice since I'm hosting large media files.

I'm currently sitting at 4.2 TB of outbound traffic for the last 30 days, so I still have plenty of room to scale up my outbound traffic before I hit any limits. But most importantly my costs are fixed.
Why monitoring website performance is important?
I really wish there was a C/C++ implementation of IPFS that could be dropped in to a Linux, Windows, MacOS, or iOS cross platform app.

I already ported the Go code to iOS once, and it wasn't that painful, but functionally it would be a lot more useful as a C++ code base. I don't build browser apps - I feel there is still a need for native apps especially in this particular space.

The new BMW ad actually speaks to me more than the old ones. I find the old ones too blunt, whereas the new one is trying to be poetic and smooth, purposefully contrasting with the old design and trying to create this utopic vision of the future where everything is smooth and efficient.

Its reaching the point where it is becoming standardised, and therefore not interesting, and so it must pass, and a new framework will become the one to use for web development. It's axiomatic that web development must be cool and new and therefore no framework can ever become a standard.

Hi Mantanrubin,

I am an English teacher to foreign students and have a few at your level of fluency. With these students I usually do custom classes using content from literature, poetry and current affairs, mainly to get them using advanced vocabulary and grammar, and then applying it to their own lives so that they can discuss topics in detail in a variety of ways. Making sure to know when to use colourful language, when not to, the perfect phrasal verb or idiom and so on.

One of the other comments in this thread also mentions good fiction (Conrad). I'd second that, as well as adding variety with more modern writers as well as those of the classics. For example, a book like Satchmo (story of Louis Armstrong's life written in his own vernacular - it's brilliant) is as useful to your advancement of English fluency as is Conrad, Wharton, Louis Stevenson. The thing to note with the classics is to find one or two you really enjoy (I don't particularly enjoy Austin but I love others).

Additionally to literature you could read scientific material, listen to and interpret hip hop and explain it to someone else, try to write poetry, speak with young native speakers, speak with older native speakers and so on.

If you'd like to do a class any time you can also contact me if you'd like. My vety basic website is teacherross dot com.

Good luck and keep going.

Ross.

The show, set in occupied WW2 France, represents different languages by using English in different accents.

A character to particularly look out for is the British secret agent disguised as a French gendarmes. He is able to “blend in” because he “spokes prefect Fronch”.

It’s a great illustration of how much you can mangle English and still be understood ...and is also quite funny.
ofc you shouldn´t trust experts wtf!!! Blindly trusting someone because they have a piece of paper on their wall? are you nuts? What is it with people and willingly accept argument from authority just because there is a PhD or MD next to the name?

Make your arguments, present your data, and let us peel through it and see if all works out as it should or if it is all just a bunch of bullshit. I don´t give a fuck if you are an expert or not. I care about ideas and results. Experts can go fuck themselves for all I care. I care about truth not some stupidly mind numbing notion of imbued institutional authority!

Looking at it from my consumer perspective Uber is net positive - even if it ends up being unsustainable and goes bust eventually. The prices in the local taxi market didn't go down a few % it got fractionally cheaper - it went from being barely affordable and only used in exceptional cases to a substitute for car ownership and not having to think about using it (depending on your daily commute). The market expanded incredibly around here.

Also traveling around with Uber is a great experience (in countries that didn't ban it) - the service has been consistent across Europe and it's another thing I don't have to worry about when travelling - not having to navigate public transport or roads in a foreign country while also being relatively sure you're not getting ripped off by the local taxi service is amazing.
Huh. That's not the response I expected.

You're not arguing with the Spectator, they're just acting as a publisher. You're arguing with in his words, "a recently-retired Professor of Pathology and NHS consultant pathologist". So you're claiming a professional British pathologist doesn't understand how British death certificates work, and you know better. Bold move.

Especially so because you seem to actually be agreeing with what he wrote, which is weird. For instance your claim (3) exactly matches his claim that:

"the vast majority of respiratory deaths in the UK are recorded as bronchopneumonia, pneumonia, old age or a similar designation. We don’t really test for flu, or other seasonal infections."

You say flu appears on many death certificates. Yes and he never argued otherwise. He said despite that it's sometimes mentioned it's actually under-reported because testing isn't really done much for it - as you agreed with!

That leaves the question of notifiability. The rules say that COVID-19 must be mentioned on a death certificate if testing was done at all, even if negative (which is new to me, I wonder what that does to the widely cited stat of "number of certificates that mention COVID"). But the point is that relative to flu, testing deaths for COVID is enormous, practically blanket at this point. If you test a lot and you insist that every case is reported to central government it will cause a flood of reports to arrive on the desks of decision makers, who will then feel it's much worse than flu. But it's not, it's just a reporting artifact.
The stack machine is a model for the semantics of wasm, in the sense that the safety properties of wasm are defined in terms of stack types rather than SSA of register properties (for those that are unfamiliar with stack machines, this stack is a different type of concept from the call stack, that in wasm is used store the local variables). Whether during execution it is better implemented as a register machine or a stack machine is an implementation detail.

These are the de facto rules of living in society. You may criticise the rules themselves but you can't really criticise teaching the rules, you have to give kids the tools they need to navigate in a society, once they know what the default rules are they're free to expand and/or break them.

School is, for the vast majority of kids, a good framework for life.
That‘s a misconception. Apple added the progressive web apps feature to early iphones because people asked to develop custom apps. But rolling out a complete custom app platform is a heavy task so web apps was a very easy target to implement. Maybe the early iOS didnt even have a sandbox to run untrusted apps, who knows.
I’d love to see it :). Actually, I gave a presentation once that had some Hacker News stuff in it almost exactly a year ago so I’ll see if I still have the scripts for that, so I’d have at least a spreadsheet to play around with.

In most countries you are required to keep payment records for tax purposes for 5 years or more. As this is a business necessity this trumps the GDPR. And since most business involves some kind of payment it's likely most businesses will not actually fully delete the information they have on file for you.

If I understand you correctly, you have it backwards.

If a component renders in React, that is, the render function is called, then ALL children's render() function are also called, unless you do specific optimizations such as React.memo.

So the whole tree is rerendered.

When it comes time to apply those changes to the DOM, that is, generating HTML on the page, wherever your render() functions returned the same result as before, the DOM is not touched.
If you can manage the upfront capital costs, physical servers are an order of magnitude cheaper than virtual servers for services that run continuously.
FWIW, I got the 10 I ordered. About 14 months late (and by which time I'd already ordered practically identical camera covers for less money on Amazon). So it wasn't an outright scam.

All up - this guy got ~$200k(usd) - about 25 times his initial goal, then totally blew the fulfullment - with many people still screaming for delivery or refunds while he's got them for sale on through his new company (set up with the Kickstarter money presumably) on their website, leaving some (most? many? a few?) backers angrily waiting.

Pretty much what I'm expecting to be a 50% likely outcome every time I back something there, and set my expectations accordingly.

I've been burnt there before, and will be again, and haven't actually regretted any of them. My biggest fail was the ZPM Espresso machine, about $300 which never succeeded. Again a stupidly over subscribed Kickstarter, and at least they had the grace and transparency to fail publicly in their attempts to manufacture 50 or 100 times as many as they'd planned...

My take away is to never do a Kickstarter-like physical good project and accept 10x or more "orders" that your initial plan had in it. Sure, if you're making software or art which can be duplicated at tu=iny fractional costs, let the orders go wild. If you have to hammer things together (or even put easy-to-reproduce things into boxes and ship them), stick to your initial small batch size and defer new orders when you hit that for a future run. Don't commit to making 100,000 when you'd done your planning/pricing around being realistically capable of making and shipping 1000.
Calling it "sharing economy" is doublespeak. Most AirBnB hosts and Uber drivers are not just occasionally letting spare space in their homes or picking up strangers who happen to be going the same direction.

AirBnB hosts are short-let landlords, same as any other operator of holiday lets.

Uber drivers are minicab drivers, same as any other minicab driver.

They like to pretend otherwise in an attempt to bypass laws designed for consumer and worker protection.
The clojure one to reverse a string makes it a sequence of characters, then reverses that sequence and puts it back together again as a string..

Why not jsut:

(require '[clojure.string :as str])
(let [s "hello"]
(str/reverse s))
=> "olleh"

Reversing a string is in the core library...
This is my first compiler, so I expect there to be several things I can improve :)

it's definitely down from normal numbers of kids playing here. but those parents who allow going to playgrounds are usually OK if kids play with some distance. what I found works well is ball passing with soccer - no touch needed. badminton is also reasonable safe distance. with 'neighborhood' I meant the immediate housing project here, we have a couple of boys who are inseparable and I find the risk tolerable if those same kids play together daily. Should be simple to trace also in case the housing gets cases.
An article that gives some insight into why these tech companies seem to have a bloated workforce is https://danluu.com/sounds-easy/.

Part of it is that the MVP might be easy to create, but scalability and edge cases add a lot of extra complexity. The other part of it is that it's not so much that a company _needs_ every employee it has, but it will keep hiring until the marginal benefit of an employee is no longer positive.

The debt gets sold to local companies that can attempt to enforce it in that province/town, probably for cents on the dollar. It probably gets sold to an aggregate and then collectors bid on it.

Most web developers should be more concerned with performance than they are. In the wild, on a fairly recent MacBook Pro, I frequently run into sites where I deal with 100ms+ input lag. And every time I check, it’s always React (sometimes Angular) under the hood. These are sites with great dev teams too. Stripe, Airbnb, Squarespace to name a few, suffer from severe performance problems on modern hardware. And those issues stem more from the diffing and reconciling stages than the actual DOM itself, whose updates are minimal for things like entering text into an input.
If you don't have a dev, how are you collecting any data to begin with?
The OP wasn't clear, but I think I know what they mean.

Years ago they offered Google Apps For Your Domain (GAFYD) - this was a normal Google account, but with your domain on it. I had one, probably for around 15 years or so, as did many other adopters and fanboys.

GSuite came around, paid, and the GAFYD stuff became free GSuite account. This is where the problems started - we didn't want GSuite, we wanted a Google account on our domain with the same services. Hell, I didn't even mind paying GSuite prices, but what I did mind was services didn't work.

So a few months ago I spent 3 days moving stuff from my GAFYD account to a normal Google one. Plenty of stuff is lost - photo metadata and free Pixel storage, Assistant functionality, tonnes of these things. All could have been avoided had Google bothered to write a conversion for this, but they didn't bother as usual.

So, yeah, your GSuite clients may not want that - understood. However some of us were grandfathered into the GSuite limitations without a route to getting back out.

Correction in your last para:

"If you spot out..." should be "If you spot anything you might have..."

"Articulated" doesn't quite work because the past tense shades towards meaning "movable with joints" instead of "express." I'd have gone with the simpler "said differently."

Honestly, it gets really tough at this level, because native speakers learn these shades of meaning - if they learn them at all - through years of exposure and practice. A lot of them are just conventions. There's no dictionary or textbook for them. They're just standardised language quirks which everyone knows and copies.

I would not suggest you learn by reading the great English prose stylists, because a lot of the stylings are archaic. It's great writing and can be entertaining and enjoyable, but it's not a prose style you want to emulate because it will sound stuffy and pompous in a modern context.

See also: "social register." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Register_(sociolinguistics)

Instead I'd buy a shelf full of novels by 20th century and later writers. Orwell is always good, but also Margaret Atwood, Robertson Davies, Don DeLillo, Iain Banks, maybe Thomas Pynchon at a stretch. Definitely Terry Pratchett and JK Rowling. Among many others.

Don't just read them, see if you can understand how they use social register to set tone and define character in different social contexts.

For day to day English your best bet is probably the magazine industry. Regular reading of tech magazines and wider cultural and political commentary will help a lot.

In Haskell your code doesn't "do IO", you write (and compose) IO actions which describe what IO will be done at runtime. Only at runtime do the side effects occur. The code itself is still pure and referentially transparent.
