I wonder what the Mobile App versus Mobile Browser versus Desktop Browser usage percentages look like.

Generally speaking, how important is it to actually update the desktop version other than for the sake of updating tech? I only use desktop as part of my marketing work, if I do it use it at all.

>We addressed this by generating atomic CSS at build time. Atomic CSS has a logarithmic growth curve because it’s proportional to the number of unique style declarations rather than to the number of styles and features we write.

I've always wondered... has anyone checked to see if this strategy of CSS (which AFAICT is slowly growing in popularity, since it's a super simple minification trick) ends up costing more in bandwidth?

It seems like it would, because 1) you frequently need multiple classes per html element, and 2) those html classes need to be sent on every page load, where CSS caches well if used "normally". I can see it being smaller on any individual page, especially with class-name minifying, but across many? And infinite scrolling loading many more elements?
Oh, agreed. I am fairly anti-Christian, and I don't mean to say that cops should be held to higher standards when they're pastors, but more that it is despicable that a single person should both claim to be a source of moral guidance and also a tool of state violence. It reeks of theocracy.

That’s the whole point. If esp is now say 100k or so below bsp, but the stack expansion detection pages maybe don’t extend very far below, say 8k, and you call another function that requires pushing args at esp, presumably you’ll miss the stack expansion. Unless the compiler inserts intentional dead reads to force a stack expansion.
As a sidenote, it does look worse with bilinear upscaling, sadly. This is why both Windows 10 in recent versions as well as new GPU driver offer the option for nearest-neighbor integer scaling where possible.

For example my laptop has a 1080p monitor - not exactly hidpi, but the monitor is small enough for Windows to suggest a 150% scale. But this makes anything that doesn't support scaling look blurry (and also break several games, but that is another matter) so i prefer to use 100% even though it makes things a bit harder to see.
So they -- like macros -- rewrite the source code into something different before the compilation, but -- unlike macros -- only do that under certain circumstances. Would this be a sensible approximation? I'm just trying to understand what they're doing, not why or how. Thank you!

I run a business. Why is it reasonable to assume the use of legacy phone numbers?
I’m sorry, but as I have proven the two are not equal in complexity (among other things) then any future inference based on that assumption is void, most especially your assertion that the only reason people aren’t using LocalStorage over Cookies is because they’re somehow “afraid” of JavaScript.

It’s like saying “the reason people don’t use apple juice to make mimosas and continue to use obsolete oranges is because they’re irrationally afraid of apple peelers.”

Considering that 27k residents of NYC alone (not counting the rest of the state included in that chart) died[1] between March 11 and April 25 (not counting the 10 days before included in that chart), I'm going to go out on a limb and say you're working with a made-up chart there.

This depends on which stock index you're looking at. If it's the S&P 500, it's a cap-weighted index. 20% is made up of 5 companies: Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook [0].

These 5 companies are doing, by and large, incredibly well right now. Even if ad revenue is down, the lock-in is sticky at least to some extend beyond the very near term. So now if you look at the Dow Jones (which is not weighted-cap), it's up 2.2% in the past month, compared with the 4.8% of the S&P.

That said, the market is not rational, and I'd be wary of thoughtful statements like "investors think...". With the Fed pumping so much money into corporates (via banks), the cost of capital falls. If the government tells you, you can borrow up to your eyeballs at near zero rates, and we'll probably find a way to bail you out if you're big enough (=too big to fail), that's exactly what you'll do.

Once you've borrowed, you're not just sitting on these piles of cash, you'll invest some in operations, but ultimately what your board of directors wants to see is your stock, so you're going to use the money to buy back your shares. Your company is not materially better in any way, it operates pretty much as before but with lots of debt, but its stock price has gone up-up-up: execs get their bonuses, the board is happy, shareholders are happy.

This can go on for a long time. We've had the longest bull run in history - over a decade long - propped up this way.

The idea with this is that the employer is holding back money that would otherwise be remitted as tax dollars, IE: helps with employer cash flow. Those funds then become available to pay out as salary. So it’s a rob-Peter-to-pay-Paul scheme to hopefully keep the employer solvent just a little longer and thus keeping those employees from needing to file unemployment.

I've used react for internal administrative tools for configuring UI, and the ability to do a real-time preview of what the UI will look like based on how you've configured it is pretty useful. Also used it a number of times to build form inputs that aren't natively supported ("list of objects all with the same properties where you can select and make a change to a bunch at once" sort of thing).

Basically I've found that if you're doing something useful which could be done with jquery but would probably have had subtle bugs due to a combinatorial explosion of possible states, you can usually use react in that context to make a cleaner, faster, and less buggy version of that same UI that is faster to develop and easier to reason about (and thus better for the end user, since software that works consistently is more valuable than software that mostly works as long as you don't breathe wrong near it).

If you're looking for examples where a single-page app is better than server-side-rendered HTML with some javascript sprinkled in to make certain components more interactive, though, I can't help you. The successful use cases I've seen for react are of the "use it as the way you sprinkle additional functionality into your server-side-rendered HTML" type.

Allegation: Suspect wanders into yard where six children are playing. Coffee County, Ga. police order everyone to ground, press guns against the children’s backs. One officer shoots twice at nonthreatening dog. He misses but does hit a 10-year-old, who was lying face down an arm’s length from the officer. Excessive force? Eleventh Circuit (over a dissent): Qualified immunity. No prior cases telling officers not to unintentionally shoot innocent bystanders. (Nor does this decision establish such a precedent.)

First, that's just wrong.

"Geeks", as a class, will tend to focus on technical issues before aesthetic ones. Looking at that fact and immediately equating it to an absurd extreme is a fun game, if you don't care about describing reality. I know some accomplished engineers who are also good designers, and vice-versa.

Second, if my professional opinions are not being taken seriously, that usually means one of two things: I'm too far out over my skis, or am in the wrong place with the wrong people. Especially so if you feel like a chef making burgers.

Of course, if "in total control" and "irrelevant" are the only two states of being one sees, I suppose I see how you get there.

The whole notion of priorities in safety vs. revenue never works for me. (And you can s/safety/security/ or s/safety/privacy/.)

In a very limited scope, it could work. If a team has a sprint or something, they can work on the safety tasks first.

But that's not really how a company operates. You have a whole mess of tradeoffs and often the costs and benefits can't be clearly quantified.

What they do is work out an operational model, some people work exclusively on examining safety, and they put out guidelines to management and employees who then have to practice safety themselves. Generally, you only know if it works after the fact by examining the results, maybe even tally up the costs of lawsuits or bad PR.

But it's meaningless to say "safety is job #1" because you're doing all the jobs 2 and on or you're going out of business. And that means all of them; no one says "taking out the trash is job #1" or "sending out W2s is job #1" but a company grinds to a halt pretty quickly if they aren't done.

Are you going to do a one time sell based on your contact and then move on from that client or will you be the one doing customer support and maintenance going forward ? If the former, then ask for a percentage of the sale for say first 12 months. If latter, then the SAAS company could charge you a subsidized price and you add your own markup to sell to your client.

I run a SAAS company and thinking about introducing a reseller program so this is an interesting topic for me as well. As a SAAS founder, I would love to connect with resellers and if they just want to send us clients after initial demo and sell, I don't mind giving up to 30% of the recurring revenue for first 12 months.

But you need to think about the legalities as well and some other stuff like will you have access to the SAAS directly that you can install/host yourself or will it be installed/hosted for you per client etc ?

You’re taking the sum of my comment, extracting a singular phrase, and changing it’s meaning.

I clearly define the scope of what “humans” & “future” means via “humans lack the will collectively to avoid certain types of systemic multigenerational issues“ — and cherry picking examples beyond that to me is irrelevant unless there a clear reasoning linking those examples to the topic.

Yes, it is entirely possible for multiple things to be true at the same time.

1) the US has unique protections of individual liberties (free speech, associations, arms)

2) the US has systematic repression of certain minorities, especially among the police (the vast majority of which is illegal and just inadequately prosecuted)

> Since I know that someone is going to reply “like what?!?” here’s an example I recently learned about: it wasn’t until 1963 that public defenders were widely available as a result of a supreme court ruling. So equal protection under the law was clearly not available before 1963. We all know the rich Can afford better defense to this day, but can you call it justice if you don’t even get a lawyer?

Right, at the risk of diving into a rabbit-hole of negative vs positive freedoms — the US was never ever the land of positive freedom. It has always been the land of negative freedom, and uniquely so. You can dislike the implications of that all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that the US truly is the land of negative freedom — and that's not a normative statement.

This has nothing to do with notation. It's perfectly possible to define infinite sequences without using dots. In particular if they are constant. In the above case:

a_i = 0 for i \in \IZ and i >= 0

Where \IZ are the integers.

Two reasons:

First:

The S&P crashed from ~3300 in Feb to ~2200 in Mar.

Now it's at ~2900.

But 2900 is less than 3300.

So why do people keep acting like it's gone up? It hasn't.

Second:

The stock market is all about what (people think) tomorrow/next month/next year will be like. So it should crash on bad news ABOUT THE FUTURE and go up on good news ABOUT THE FUTURE.

But economic indicators are all ABOUT THE PAST.

It's generally best to BUY stocks when a recession is declared because a recession isn't declared until the economy has shrunk for 2 quarters. Since it takes time to get those numbers ready, that means when a recession is declared, you've been in a recession for 8+ months already (2m for the figures plus 6 months of shrinking GDP). So you're most of the way through it.

When a commentator says "we're in a recession", the market says "yeah, we know, we knew 7.95months ago, but we're going to return to normal in ~3months so either buy now or be priced out later".

This is pretty much it.

Common sense tells me that you can't expect a bench of octagenarians to normally function as the top legal institute of a country. It is not a sacred cow beyond all reason and doubt, and its judges are not the 9 holy sages.

Why can't your put some effort, and replace them?
The two blockchain papers are so ridiculous on their face that I find it amazing that the authors were able to work on them at all (Intel funding may have helped in that regard).

The gist of them is that instead of using hard computational work to secure a chain against sybil attacks, they use timeouts enforced by Intel. To get more mining power in proof of work, one has to buy a lot of hashing chips, and feed a lot of power into them. To get more mining power in these "proof of Intel" schemes, one must buy more SGX chips from Intel. The supposed benefit here is that the SGX chips consume much less power than the hashing chips.

That's all well and good, except- both of the schemes in the linked papers have the same security properties as if Intel simply set up a centralized timestamping server. Intel's timestamping server would also perform a lot faster than any of these blockchains.

Moreover, the point of the shutdown was to keep the virus from spreading, and yet the number of cases is still rising in most places in spite of it. As states are talking about reopening, it's just going to rise faster. The article notes that the field hospitals aren't being taken down, in case we need them. Since the spread seems likely to accelerate soon, it seems to early to say "we didn't use these field hospitals."

Anytime you need to stream data to or from a client, like audio/video or data. Single page apps have a much better experience.

From an architecture standpoint, it does also allow a much simpler separation of concerns.

That said, it does it get used more often that it should and can take more time to build than a multi-page app.
You’re not getting it. You don’t need any intermediary framework or library to store state in cookies from the backend. You can do it without executing anything on the client. With LS, you are forced architecturally to execute code on the backend and in the browser just to accomplish the same thing. They’re incomparable.
