React native code re-use is possible just not in the way people imagined. You can reuse your Redux code, you can reuse higher order components you just can't reuse the atomic UI elements.

React native performance is good too it just doesn't come for free. You need to know how to do native animations and you need to do late binding and all the other performance optimisations you should be doing with React anyway.

The only thing that lets React Native down is the tooling. I've had the debugger repeatedly push stale code on refreshes, the source mapping is atrocious and sometimes the network debugger just refuses to work. Also sometimes the app fails to load and you need to reload the app and or restart the debugger and or restart the packager in the right order.
I'm curious if you could name some examples of "fluff that went away" in this particular genre, that was mainstream? By mainstream I mean either charted or got radio play, during that era? I mean also, please don't rattle off a list of bands no ones ever heard of :)

IMO: as long as they’re organized well verbosity is good. Ever tried to read a theology book? They’re just walls of text, no nice theorem: and def: to guide you; that’s when verbosity makes things hard. On the other hand very concise books that force you to think in order to pull meaning out of them can be a lot of fun if you have the time.

Also (another opinion) you get intuition doing practice problems and playing with the idea(s), it’s almost impossible to get intuition just by reading.
Me too, but they recently let me down with their managed Redis . They clearly mention that their offering has daily backups, but it actually doesn't (had to contact support to find out, though). Had to migrate away from them because of that.

Server rendering is trivial to set up with Parcel, but I don't see the point of your remark - you don't have any option of server side rendering with Jquery.
Why do you believe, or what evidence do you have, for elementary educators spending most of their time keeping children on task? I have asked elementary teachers about this trope and pleasantly surprised to learn that most students do not require constant redirection. Likewise, their classes not much different from higher level classes excepting for the rigor of the subject matter. So, I'd love to read any evidence you have for your statement in case these teachers and their schools were an exception instead of the norm.

This phenomenon can be described as "excessive factoring" and it can easily happen under any paradigm.

Perhaps it's more prevalent with OOP programmers, but perhaps it just appears that way because the boilerplate for classes is a bit larger than the boilerplate for functions and structs.

The sum of the national unemployment systems, generally built prior to cloud scale out architecture, were able to handle 25x normal traffic load (5M claims vs. 200,000 in a normal week, even 2008-2010 peak was 700,000 claims).

Dislike Oracle all you want, even many cloud architected applications would fall over with a 25x traffic increase in a single week (remember Fail Whales?).

>A disguise for what? I'm not sure I get what they mean by this. I'm guessing the author is advising that you don't let yourself be rushed into agreeing to something over the phone, think about it and take your time, don't be pressured

Most of the time when someone pressures you into making a decision quickly, it's for their benefit not yours. Think "if you make this decision now, you'll get a 10% discount!". You don't have the time to decide whether you really need this or not, but that discount sure sounds nice.
> I am not so up to date with frontend dev but what's with the hate towards React these days?

I don't use React day to day in a big team so I can't comment on the maintainability gains, but as a user all I see is websites degrading the experience when migrating to SPA. If state of the art front end engineering with React is Facebook or Reddit then it's hugely disappointing.
Don't get me wrong. I love OOP, and have been using it since before it was cool. It's been a standard wrench in my toolbox for decades.

In fact, I have been running into folks, these days, that don't understand it, as, apparently, OOP is becoming "uncool."

I've always been a "right tool for the right job" kind of guy. I started off with ML (Machine Language, not Machine Learning). I am quite comfortable, sitting down with a breadboard, and flashing an OS.

But I remember the old days of OOP, where "classic" structured programmers didn't "get" OOP, and designed these horrific chimeras.

I always make it a point to understand my methodology and drivers "to the bone." Just because someone at a conference said it, doesn't mean that I should use it for everything.
The business model of SMTP is that e-mail providers leverage their compliance with SMTP to draw users in but then derive value some other way (either by luring users into their ad-powered ecosystem like most consumer e-mail providers or making them pay like business e-mail providers).

A protocol by itself indeed doesn't need a business model but clients for the protocol do need one.

I think caring is the most important first step, and much of the "decline" (it's debatable) is due to people not caring and disregarding linguistic standards.

By the way, in the sentence you wrote, people used to use the subjunctive mood, "I wish there were"; this "rule" seems to have gone the way of the dinosaur and "was" in place of the conditional "were" sounds so terribly wrong to me (probably because of the German "wäre").

AIUI by some convention people in war are divided into combatants and noncombatants. To remain in the latter group you have to maintain a non-hostile position.

> That's your belief because "legitimate opinions". What is "legitimate opinions"? That is the crux.

I'd say this was a poor choice of words. All opinions are "legitimate" in that people actually hold them and believe in them.

> What's simply stupid vs outright dangerous?

I don't think this is hard to measure, especially since we already have tests for what is protected speech and what is not in the US. For instance, we have federal laws that stop employers or landlords from exercizing their right to free speech when it involves discrimination against certain protected classes of people. Or slander/libel, or inciting violence.

> FWIW, that's a contradictory statement. You cannot have a net-surplus of free speech by censoring. They're mutually exclusive ideas.

This is not the case, as explained above and in an earlier comment. In the US we already have laws that limit free speech, yet result in a more free society.

> But what is "good done"? More lives? More freedom?

Yes, both of these things are good and would be considered good under just about any normative ethical framework.

> All I'm trying to get you to see is that censorship is one of the most powerful tools that exist for a society. A concrete example is Singapore's fake news law.

I agree with this fully, and would condemn anyone using censorship to remove free speech that isn't harmful. I advocate for similar positions in that I am generally ok with the government jailing people (which is an act of violence) that commit crimes. The right to jail people is an even more powerful tool than censorship, but most people are ok with this being done.
The headline might be accidentally understating this, with its reference to "skin". The piece actually discusses a number of conditions, possibly triggered by or related to covid-19; for example, shock, blood pressure and heart problems are mentioned.

JavaScript vs. Unix Tools (part 2)
I appreciate the article, OP.

I have a similar relationship with album "The '59 Sound" by The Gaslight Anthem and especially with the title track. My younger sister took her own life on Memorial Day weekend of 2014. If you've never had the misfortune of losing a loved one to suicide, everyone around you will speak about it in a way that erases their agency as much as possible ("they were sick, they weren't perceiving reality," etc). And this is helpful, to avoid blaming oneself, and also in a wider, civic-duty sense, to help people view suicidal ideation as a syndrome that responds to treatment, since it so often does.

This did not help me grieve her, though, since the young woman I lost was not demented, as my grandparents were before they passed, but sensitive and insightful. Fallon's lyrics (written in response to the passing of a loved one of his own) are so respectful of the deceased, expressing only his hope that the moment of death was peaceful and not regretful, contextualized through their shared experience. I really needed this perspective at the time, and six years later listening to the song without crying my eyes out is still touch-and-go for me.
I'm still hoping for those platforms to eventually get displaced by ones run by foundations or coops. Sure, those have a hard time initially competing against platforms powered by infinite greed, but in the end being trustable by the vendor side of platform users should be an unbeatable advantage.
> people will think that this is what remote work is like

Oh man, this is the truest thing I've heard since the quarantine started.

I loved that my team had a flexible WFH policy year round. On days with chores, I could stay at home and get some work done. I could travel while working. If I work up late or on the wrong side of the bed, I could avoid the trouble of dressing up and just login while brewing myself a coffee.

But now, I hate it. I've realized, I love remote work precisely because I can work from the office the rest of the time. The loss of productivity, communication and socialization doesn't feel like much if it is 1 day a week.

But, all the time. God No!

I'm referring to having the same testing, deployment,packaging,versioning policies etc being consistently applied across projects within the same repository not deploying, testing and releasing together.

It's the drift and inconsistencies across these concerns across projects that makes deployment and operations less predictable.
I would argue against the boom mic style headsets because then you have something in front of your face which you can hit (BOOM) or brush if you happen to have a beard (WOOOOSH) and annoy the living hell out of everyone else on the call.
A single speed test is fun- hundreds of them may be accurate
Sharing code or reinventing the wheel repeatedly is inevitable once you have more than one concern by which you can divide services.

For example: let's say you have lots of integrations, and you need to scale compute, and parse and generate common data sent to and from the integrations.

You can either have a monolithic integration service which you scale out on load; or you can have integration-specific services that scale out on load and share your data parsing & generation library. Due to multiple concerns, there's no "best slice".

FWIW, scaling out compute is a stronger argument to me for a service boundary than responsibility segregation. Scaling out requires distribution; scaling up complexity doesn't, though it can help for other reasons, like CI/CD. I prefer FaaS architectural patterns with the freedom to share libraries in different functions (images) to services, especially if long-running state is not needed.
That's the economic flaw in all of this - Amazon have economies of scale and access to cheap power and network connectivity and that means smaller competitors will be locked out of the market.

You're not going to be running a node on your spare capacity that brings in more than your costs, in fact unless you're a datacentre operator, you're going to be making a loss.

In the end it favours big centralised services, and IPFS (if it ever takes off) just becomes a rival API to S3.

We’re approaching the same thing from opposite sides.

My only point is to consider here: is BMW default wrong or is BMW default correct?

My default is to understand why a system behaves how it does before using my own value system to say why it’s wrong.

Part of this progression of thought is there’s usually very good reasons as to why things are how they are. It’s really hard to outsmart lots of time, money, and people.

It’s my belief that until we understand the thought, theory, and progression of events that led the system’s current state, we’ll probably make similar path-dependent mistakes when we propose solutions so I assume the system is default correct until it’s fully understood.

> If there's enough enthusiasts using spare disks at home to offer enough disk capacity for everyone, then that means Filecoin hosting will be available cheaper than cloud hosts.

Only if these enthusiasts are willing to take a loss on power.

> If the price hits the price of cloud hosts, then people will just run tons of Filecoin nodes on cloud hosts

Or the cloud hosts themselves will enter the market. The upper bound on the market will be their costs, which will always be lower than the costs of enthusiasts using spare disks at home.

40 y.o. here as well.

My life has improved after I started getting up extremely early (0400) four or so years ago. And that doesn't happen without an alarm clock.

My point is not to say that you are wrong but that we might be better off trying different solution for ourselves instead of believing in authorities here or elsewhere.

(I'm not saying you shouldn't listen to normal advice like getting good sleep etc, but don't think that getting up at 0400 will solve your problems because eitland says so and don't think that waking up naturally will solve all your problems. Instead try one, then the other if the first didn't work.)

This older "breaking up the monolith" GraphQL talk from Prisma is interesting: https://invidio.us/watch?v=_MmyTahR9ok

Especially if you consider RedwoodJS, a new full stack JS framework that's build on Prisma technology (their stuff is an alternative to Rails Active Record ORM). My takeaway is that they provide a similar monolith like experience by acting as a glue between different services.

The problem is that the people who made this video are by definition experts. Experts are often wrong and disagree, so if the public listens to the wrong experts and silence the right experts we have a problem. Therefore it is better to not try to decide which experts are right or wrong so we can silence them, since chances are that the people doing the evaluation are the ones in the wrong.

One obvious benefit of home schooling is that it protects children from pandemics. Mark my words, there will be more pandemics in the coming years. Maybe the next disease will hit children harder, and the quality of a child's education doesn't matter so much if they're dead. (Even if it hits adults harder, your family dying is often a serious distraction from education.)

If this flailing response from the US gov't is typical, we can expect incompetence and denial to make coordinated response to outbreaks impossible. Even a sane administration would have limited options without universal healthcare, a strong social safety net so that people can survive without jobs, and dare I say a Green New Deal to drive the economy and avoid the next catastrophe.

Antibiotic resistance is a looming threat to modern healthcare, and covid-19 may worsen it: https://www.wired.com/story/covid-19-may-worsen-the-antibiot... If antibiotics lose their effectiveness, the world will not be the same.

It's also not possible to understate the threat of the potential spread of anti-science sentiment, including anti-vaxxers. Good policies could be defeated by enough people simply refusing to follow them.

TL;DR: The benefit of home schooling protecting people from disease will remain relevant.
To me a more likely explanation is that non-Turing-complete languages are easier to understand overall, but among Turing-complete languages, imperative is easier to understand. The popularity data seems to bear it out.

I took an evidence-based teaching course in grad school, and one of the things that really stuck with me was this idea that teaching should be continually framed around clear learning goals and a growth-oriented mindset.

I think a clear value proposition is something that’s really lacking for students at all levels. I remember a lot of vague “you’ll need this later” sentiment from my time in school, which is just not motivating.

That and counteracting the “I’m just not good at math (or whatever subject)” mentality would go a long way to addressing this self-learning issue

There are a lot of problems with how we discuss suicide. It's a tough subject and it's often not done well.
