I can call ‘setTimeout’ from the component?

I honestly don’t see the issue with your example.

I’d use an event handler to work out when something happened. This would set the timeout, and the handle would be stored as a ref. I’d have a use effect hook to clean up the timer, so when the component is unmounted the timeout is cleared.

What’s the issue here?
Sounds like a viable workaround if the automation app route doesn't work out for me, thanks!
I'm actually happy about living in Europe with GDPR implemented. It was (and still is to some extent) a big hassle (me working in IT) and it was also filling up the news and inboxes for some time. Kind of like Covid-19 is now.

It's possible to just send a company an email, ask them to delete all the data they have related to you that aren't required to archive for legal/accounting reasons and it will happen. I've tried.

I'm also a bit surprised that "Covid-19"-apps is seen as a silver bullet to help solve the crisis. It's like the governments and big companies feel the need to fit the phrase "there's and app for that". Also, what will the actual value be? It's hard to see it as a consumer (semi-)quarantining in his/her home. Easy to conspiracy theorise on them finding a reason to just start watching everyone's step.

Back in the day I disliked MS because I've felt they tried to lock people down and because some of their products I've felt were subpar.

Now I mostly like them.

I use Windows 10 and I think is nice. I use Edge on Android because it has built in Ad Block and I find it rather nice.

I do like Github.

I love Visual Studio which has made my life easier.

I enjoy using Visual Studio Code.

I do enjoy greatly working with .NET Core.

Sometimes I use Bing when Google annoys me too much, and that is often.
I looked at you post carefully (I do some copy editing, so I'm used to looking for errors), I couldn't find any. I'd not believe someone who said they could tell that you weren't a native speaker. The only thing, very slight, I'd probably say that "I'm also aware that my grammar is not perfect" would be a little more idiomatic, but that could be an AmE/BrE thing.
Cloud Firewall, VPC, glad to see useful features added.

Personal experience with DO: I've been a happy DO customer for the past [7 years](1). Linux VM [uptime](2) record has been amazing for personal use case.

This week I migrate the droplet hosting my personal website (5/m) from DigitalOcean to Amazon Lightsail (3.5/m plan) this week. Trigger being Ubuntu LTS upgrade to 20.04 again failed to boot on first few attempts again (wasted quite sometime chroot trying to fix to no avail without access to the hypervisor - IaaS...), mainly because of the way DO's flavour of KVM (hypervisor) works (I am not the only one), my other VPS (e.g. 123Systems - KVM) worked well and never had the same problem, let alone Xen powered VMs (EC2, self-hosted XenServer, etc. - I know hypervisor well because I've worked for XenSource/Citrix on XenServer for several years).

Customer (technical) support quality has dropped over the last few years, I can tell the difference by comparing the last 2 support tickets, I don't want to guess the root cause, sigh...

Finally I have had enough (4th time down with upgrade), it's time to move on to something better without paying more, migration is made easy due to the way workloads are deployed (most containerized, thanks to Docker/Docker Compose). With Lightsail, in addition to the AWS name/brand, has the advantage to move the Lightsail VMs into AWS EC2 instances so as to leverage full-fledged AWS infra (e.g. VPC, etc.) seamlessly.

Over the years, low end VPS competition has becoming much tougher (DO, Linode, Vultr, Amazon Lightsail late to the game but powerful strike, etc.) DO has lots its key competencies for bang for the buck, without offering 2.5~3.5/m plan on par with competitors.

Last but not least, I'll definitely consider DO as an option when Cloud Infrastructure is need, still ;-)

BTW: On Oracle, my Oracle Cloud free tier trial ended miserably, 2 weeks after provisioning the VMs, Cockpit (I run it on my home NAS - managing/monitoring a small group of cloud VPS using the web UI) reported connection failed, only to find that my account has been terminated without any warning or notification along with my 2 free VMs based in Phoenix, lucky that I didn't actually put any workload on it (left them running only - feeling something's gonna happen...), contacted support and was told account deleted, no reason, redirected me to customer support (my oracle support, I couldn't figure out how that works, so give up...). I still don't understand how Oracle Cloud login works...

It's just using "fat pointer" to refer to the concept of passing around a pointer with extra information concerning the data it points to. I agree that generally people would expect "fat pointer" to imply a larger pointer itself, but I don't think the label is misused egregiously enough to warrant picking at this.
Would you mind sharing how much you’re spending at Scaleway each month (a ballpark would be enough)? I’m just generally wary of claims of unmetered resources at oversubscribed cloud providers — I mean if I’m paying $5/mo and transferring 150TB they probably have every incentive to cut me off. A clearly defined quota with moderate overage fees actually gives me peace of mind.

> Imperative programming is the most natural thing for people. "Do this, then that, then that, in that order."

No way. Have you ever mentored technical people who aren't specifically trained programmers by education?

These kinds of people will have no problem writing huge SQL queries with joins nested four levels deep, or pages and pages of declarative Pandas or R code using weird transformation and filter logic, but they'll have humongous problems understanding simple loops or variable assignment.

Another data point to consider: Excel is the most popular programming environment in the world, and it's also declarative, not imperative.

If you are going to continue to attack a complete straw man of my arguments, I’m not sure how productive continuing this chain will be.

Your entire argument is predicated on 1) Damien, at almost 18 years of age, having absolutely no culpability for his actions, and 2) that he has shown genuine remorse for his actions, despite receiving essentially no punishment for a premeditated murder attempt and having shown no signs of remorse until he was asked to comment on the story. In other words, an entirely speculative argument that relies on your own personal character projections.

I would encourage you to extend the same level of generosity and charitableness you seem to show Damien Patton to the next person who challenges your worldview.

No, and I was looking hard. IPFS is a slower, no-SLA version of S3 at this stage. People try to sell it with this planetary-scale marketing phrase just like they were trying to sell MongoDB with the web-scale phrase. Once you understand that the use cases for asymmetric uplink powered file sharing are latency and availability you also understand that the use cases are very limited for such storage.

I should be more clear. I mean the dichotomy between a web site that is only rendered on the server (which is not more difficult to build now than it was 10 years ago), and web sites that have significant client-side interactivity (which are usually and understandably more difficult to build than the former).

Of course, there are different versions of the latter: you can have an entirely client-rendered site, or a site that runs largely the same client-side code on the server for initial HTML renders (like React SSR), or a site that renders HTML from the server and then has separate client-side code to enhance interactivity, or any number of combinations of these and other approaches.
What do you read in English? I would suggest that achieving deep fluency in a language requires experience with the greatest and formative literature of that language.

Agreed with this - I think it all stems from the browser standards issue, which to me is a general issue about distributing control. It’s design by consensus, which naturally takes a long time, and forces updates to web standards to be conservative and backwards compatible in perpetuity to support every random stakeholder, which is a great recipe for a bloated and abused platform.

So at the core I chalk the situation up to people problems, not technical ones.
Yes, Google Scholar. But that only finds things that look like academic papers.
Is it really copyright? Based on what I know of it, it doesn't seem like copyright would apply. Trademark I could sorta see, if they registered their likeness.
I think I'm at a similar level as you, I can speak and write fluently but I suspect that I'm not always using the right words in the right context.

In my experience, the only way to really get a feel for that is to have conversations with native speakers. I had some native (Canadian, British) speaking colleagues in the past, at a time when I falsely believed that my English was near perfect, and it was amazing how much I noticed that I still had to learn.
I bought an used Xperia and installed Sailfish on it. LOVE IT! The gestures feel so natural way to use phone, ambients make it look badass and the program management is really creative.

Android app support is what allowed me to transition because of banking apps etc. It's not 100% polished (especially the Android app usage) but at its worst works well enough and at it's best, the experience IMO tops any other phone OS that i've used.

Wish it had more native apps though.

Not to mention the learning curve. For junior developers to be productive it takes forever. I can teach F# to a junior in a week, Rust maybe a month. Even for senior devs, it is hard to decipher what is the actual meaning of the code sometimes. There is a lot of noise in Rust that makes it harder to grasp what is happening.

Maybe don't take pictures of your secret government opposition meeting and post them on the Internet?

Traffickers would need to post photos to advertise their trafficking. Those photos could then be matched and traced. Secret government opposition meetings have no need to post photos. Indeed, if you are taking photos at all at your secret government opposition meeting, you are doing it wrong.

I'm also a 'non native' speaker of English and it has been my second language from childhood.

For me the question is - for a global or a widespread language like that of English, is there any characteristic which can be defined as 'native'. English speaker from Scotland would sound very 'non-native' in Australia and vice versa.

I would imagine for a languages like Mandarin or Russian which is spoken in a particular geographical region with homogeneous population can have that characteristic - "Spoken like a true native". But for languages like English not so, same could be true for languages like Spanish and Hindi (3rd most widely spoken - contained in a geographical region but spoken among very diverse and non-homogenous population).

What I understood is that when you die, the only thing about you that will stay is your reputation. I agree it could have been worded better
I also like that it exists. It's interesting if nothing else.

> Imperative programming is the most natural thing for people. "Do this, then that, then that, in that order."

I think back to the sandwich example most of us had in CS class. Step by step, how do you make a sandwich? And then the teacher will always trip us up with a step we forgot.

The problem is that with current computer programming, you can't just say "Make me a sandwich" you have to specify it in excruciating detail. Naturally, an imperative form suits this.

But if we could in fact get sandwich making right, roll it out via code-reuse, and collapse that into one command, a more functional style might suit. Say what you want to achieve, instead of how to achieve it, and suddenly the order matters a bit less. Let the computer care about that.

Maybe that's not possible with current architectures or programming languages, I don't know. It would be nice though.
It's no longer declarative as soon as you've done that though; it's still a break in the declarative paradigm.
> The only option I could think of is living in an English speaking country, but that currently not an option.

Speaking from personal experience, I think all this will do is change your speech patterns and modulate your accent ever so slightly.

You likely read/write English better than a native English speaker already. Some of the language/grammar I've encountered from my English colleagues in both formal and informal written communication is absolutely terrible, and I attribute that to them "learning" English by way of speaking and "incorrect" colloquial usage before perfunctorily running through their English lessons at school.
It's weird, because it's not very good at understanding the need of the users. If you are Chinese and want to learn English, you have to show the contrast between the grammar-points from a Chinese perspective in an meaningful way.

It really feels like: how can I, as an english developer, teach language? Instead of: -How can I, as an elite teacher, create an app to teach language?

Now that I think about it... is there any teachers with SF-developer-salary? Is there any language-teachers that talk about being the 10x teacher?

Could you explain to a junior what Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync + 'static> does and how should a person who is starting to learn Rust come up with something like this?

Second minor example. I have a configuration string like let's say timeout for a certain type of connection. What is the recommended way to have that as a string that is accessible to all functions without fighting with the borrow checker?

In Elixir, I would use @timeout in the module for example. In Rust, I am not sure. Cloning the value to every place it needs it as a workaround.

Hah - I kid you not, I have the reverse problem! I work a lot with both C and Python (embedded interpreter & CPython extensions) and whenever I switch from a stretch of C coding to doing some Python, I catch myself typing "&&" and "||" instead of "and" and "or" :D

(C is my "native" language, so it doesn't really happen the other way around, but that's just me)

The issue is that those are usually two separate books. Students need intuition and a broader overview, but experienced professionals usually want rigor, unambiguity and completeness. In my experience there are actually very few books that do both, and I've also had professors that don't seem to find it too important to convey intuition (or even think it's counterproductive as intuition breaks down at some point).

To an extent, I have some trouble too. Even after decades primarily reading in English, my speed remains excruciatingly low. Reading the average fiction novel, I can't do more than 20-30 pages per hour in English where I average 150-200 in my native language (Hungarian). Sigh.
The SSR data fetching story really isn’t much different than the story for managing global state in React on the client.

It’s true than a client-side React application could just do AJAX requests on component mounts (or in a useEffect hook) to keep that data in local React component state, and that wouldn’t easily translate to React SSR (because the server renderer can’t know when your component tree is “ready”).

But most complex app-style web sites are already going to need some global state management similar to Redux, where data fetched from the network is stored not in local React component state but in a global store, and when you have that (as well as a JS router, something else you’ll probably be needing anyway), the React SSR story really isn’t that crazy at all.
>> When you die you take absolutely nothing with you except your reputation.

>Is this saying that your reputation dies with you? I don't get this, surely people will remember how you acted when you were alive. I'm probably taking it too literally.

I interpret this the other way around: nothing you gain in life matters/retains value/sticks (to you?) after you die except your reputation
