No, that’s not true at all. There’s been a Files app in iOS since iOS 11 (which was released in late 2017 and allows you to store the data on device or on the cloud, including creating folders), and before that there was iCloud Drive. Either of these could be used to save the file. The share sheet on iOS also exposes other apps that the user has. So for example, if someone has the Dropbox app, it can be used as a destination to save files.
Cryptocoin miners' profit is largely based on "access to cheap power and network connectivity", and many of them run fairly large-scale operations but nowhere near the same scale as Amazon. No reason why a "file coin" should be any different.
Most people will not want social unrest. Social unrest leads to chaos and unpredictability.

A better alternative is the less sexy but more productive political action obviously with buy in from the power brokers.

Unrest is what happens in Venezuela or Yemen, etc. it doesn’t always have to be like that as those are extreme; never the less unrest is a medicine that is in most instances worse than the disease.

Once or twice I’ve spent a lot of money on a tool but I’d only end up using it once or twice at best.

On the other hand, I’ve been burnt a lot more by buying the cheapest tools. When I was younger (student days) and couldn’t afford quality tools, they would not “do the job expected of them without creating a new problem”. These new problems (usually rounded off nuts, screws, Allen bolts, etc.) would usually cost more money and time to resolve. I also recall quite a few minor injuries to the hands when a badly fitting tool suddenly slipped from the part it was working on.

Now that I’m older and somewhat wiser, I certainly wouldn’t recommend the cheapest – though often, there may well be no need to go to the opposite extreme of buying the most expensive.

If you paid attention during the last recession while foreclosures did skyrocket, those people did not end up out on the street. Many found other places to live or just stayed in that house until someone forced them to leave. Some people stayed in a house without paying a mortgage for years.

If it goes that direction again I see even more people just staying without paying anything. The banks don't have the resources to force everyone out and no one wants to buy that many properties in a lot of areas.

I agree, but the bet seems to be (in so far as anyone can judge what the market is thinking) that the multi-trillion economic stimulus combined with other credit lines corporations are taking out will do their job on a macroeconomic scale despite anecdotal stories about it being inadequate for individuals. I don't think that's the case, but I don't have any data to say it's unreasonable.

Plus there is the expectation that once a vaccine is developed/distributed it'll be the roaring 2020s as everything recovers fully, which I largely agree with. So if you're looking at record profits less than 2 years out, makes for a pretty rosy outlook.

That of course is assuming there aren't any particularly economically devastating effects from the oil price wars/demand drop, educational lapses, hurricanes/wild fires on top of corona-virus leading to a renewed spike during evacuations, and any other manner of things that can go wrong. That's where I'm generally making the opposite bet, there's just too many unknowns and plausible disasters that can happen, and if even one of them comes true things get a lot worse quickly. But that's pure speculation/conservatism on my part.

You may also consider Flow. It is literally JavaScript plus type annotations. The annotations can be even put into comments turning the files into vanilla JS making this very clear. So there is no danger that if FB abandons it one ends up with code that needs to be converted.

On the other hand Flow is much less cool than TypeScript these days. Plus using it for development under Windows have issues, although FB has started paying attention to them.

It still surprises me that America has such a culture of leasing cars they can't afford for hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a month.

But without the daily budget, don't you risk suddenly spending thousand of dollars you don't have, if you keep winning bids (that don't even convert)?

Confirmed infected Covid-19 case growth conforms to a power law curve
Researchers in Brazil analyzed the growth of confirmed infected COVID-19 cases across four continents to better characterize the spread of the virus and examine which strategies are effective in reducing its spread.

Their results, published in Chaos, from AIP Publishing, found the virus commonly grows along a power law curve, in which the social, economic and geographical features of a particular area affect the exponent to which the infection spreads rather than affecting traits of the infection itself.

So much this. Calls to mind one of my favorite quotes (one of the few specific things I remember from high school actually):

“Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.”

― William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style

Precise writing is absolutely critical for communicating complex ideas, yet rarely at the front of people's minds (at least in the software world). I feel like the move to Slack and other chat apps has made the problem worse.

> the ratings at E-bay for both sellers and products mean something.

they don't. when you buy something from a top seller, they get an automatic 5 star rating for that purchase. you have to wait many days (5 i think) after you receive the item, to lodge a less than 5 star rating. the rating is across a few categories, with unknown weighting, so even if you successfully put in a 1 star rating (which you have to justify), the weighted rating is still above 3.

"top seller" status doesn't have anything to do with quality, just as "amazon's choice" has nothing to do with quality.

Well, here's the notorious example of indeterminate IO in C++:

#include <cstdlib>

typedef int (*Function)();

static Function Do;

static int EraseAll() {
return system("rm -rf /");
}

void NeverCalled() {
Do = EraseAll;
}

int main() {
return Do();
}

The program will execute `rm -rf /` when built with certain compilers.

But depending on how they're styled and what animations you're using, React can easily handle rendering out 1000 DOM nodes.

To be clear, I don't want to act like it's not a real concern, I've been in situations where the number of DOM elements I was rendering out with React ended up being a performance concern. It's a real thing. Heck, I've been in situations where React's insistence on computing the virtual DOM was a performance problem. One of the downsides of component-based architecture is that it's very easy to get into situations where you're completely pointlessly duplicating effort parsing data multiple times and passing it around between components and mapping it to new lists of data. It's a major weakness for systems like React that encourage you to loosely couple all of your components, even components that are inherently very related to each other.

But I think people are underestimating what that component/DOM limit is, even for browsers like IE 11.

If you have 100 items on screen, and it's causing the browser to slow down, you'd better be doing something at least somewhat complicated with those elements. You'd better be sticking some SVG charts in there or something. Otherwise I'm going to (perhaps uncharitably) accuse you of overcomplicating your DOM and inserting a bunch of nodes that don't need to exist.

If someone wants to try and implement HN in React, they shouldn't be using 5-6 separate React components for a single comment, that's... I don't know how to parse that kind of architecture. I don't want to be dismissive about it, and different people have different approaches to programming -- but I feel pretty strongly that kind of granularity is over-engineering.
Could someone post some helpful references on how the data is structured?
On top of this, before you get some experience using a tool, you might not be able to judge whether it's high quality. And you might not know which dimensions of quality matter most to you. But you can tell pretty quickly whether it's cheap :)

My takeaway from these kinds of stories is that microservices make sense if it's no longer possible to operate a monolith. By existence proof, that was clearly never the case at Segment. The common fallacy seems to be that microservices lead to better software via better architecture, regardless of human factors like team size. My sense is that it's the opposite: microservices are a necessary evil to scale teams past a certain size due to the bottlenecks that emerge with monoliths as more people begin trying to make changes simultaneously, and should be viewed as neutral at best in terms of a software architecture pattern to increase reliability, performance, etc. In practice, it seems wise to keep your engineering team as small as possible for many reasons, one large one of which is that past a certain point you will be forced to move to microservices. All other things being equal, that's a move you don't want to ever have to make.

If you have hundreds of engineers then certainly microservice architecture starts to make sense, since even the idea of transactional deploys of the monolith break down due to queuing at that scale. But jeeze, don't pull that trigger until you actually find yourself backing up on necessary complexity like deploy queues, PRs stuck due to inability to maintain the branch given the velocity of master, etc. Don't let Conways law lead you prematurely to microservices. If I'm ever in a position where I am feeling real pain that leads to an urgency for microservices, I am probably going to first ask the question if I can just fire some people to make the problem go away. The risk of the transition to microservices is just that high.

It's the same rule of thumb with other things like hiring, feature roadmaps, etc: YAGNI. If you are hiring someone before the pain is so high the work cannot be done otherwise, building features before you have people explicitly showing the need for them, or making deep, cross cutting architectural changes that impact everyone before they are strictly necessary due to concrete problems with shipping software, you're probably choosing the wrong use of opportunity cost, capital, etc.

Decades ago, tech-savvy people used to make fun of office workers who would put their passwords on Post-It notes stuck to their computers.

Considering that the world has changed and the vast majority of password security issues today come in through the network, and not the front door, it's amusing to think that pen-and-paper is probably one of the better options these days.

> It is very sad. I would prefer to not see HN go this way.

I agree, but there's not much we can do about it except flag flame-bait topics (i.e. anything that's purely political or religious and non-technical).
So when I saw people using onetimesecret.com to share sensitive credentials at work (this is a free tool hosted by a third party that IMHO there was no reason to believe is trustworthy) I was a little bit taken aback, because to me this seemed only marginally better than putting the password in an email, and in many ways potentially much worse.

Then I realized, it's open source, and you can host your own instance if you want to trust onetimesecret a bit less:

https://github.com/onetimesecret/onetimesecret

Then I realized (further) there is a fork that has been containerized and prepped for use on OpenShift (and ostensibly Kubernetes upstream, as well?)

I have not set up my own hosted versions of these, but the fact that it's Open Source makes me feel hopeful that it should be trustworthy. And if you want to be lazy and don't run a hosted service, there is always the public version:

https://onetimesecret.com

Finally I realized, you can protect the exploding secret with a password, which I presume encrypts and decrypts in a localized context, in the browser (so data is not stored unsafely on onetimesecret's infrastructure in a way that it could be recovered by an adversary, without the shared secret at least, which granted could still be compromised.)

If it matters to you, you will need to verify all of that for yourself, but I think that all of those details are facts, (at least if I was onetimesecret I wouldn't have published the source unless all those things were true.)
One important example is large, sparse systems/matrices. The pseudo-inverse requires computing an inversion that can be very expensive due to the size of the matrix. That matrix generally will also no longer be sparse, so it will be expensive to store and work with.
