Hi nend, co-author of the blog post here. I had blazor/webassembly in mind for quite some time, we will try to have it in on the next update :thumbsup:

IMHO Web Component is the opposite of fractured because whatever "helper" you use to make a Web Components, they sit on the same Custom Element standard. Somehow it's more convergence then having components in Vue and components in React that can't (without massive cost) be used together.
All lovely features, the killer for me is support for playback speed adjustment (percent), pitch adjustment, and skipping silence in audio!

Perfect for podcasts: run playlist in background at x2 with "skip silences" on.
The problem there is more that they chose researchers to do engineering tasks. There are plenty of people inclined to build, just not those people.
Afaik it was 1 person claiming it, with no screenshots if the emails he claimed he got (although if he did lose access to his GMail, it'd be hard to see the emails).

Besides, does Google/YT even specify the reason for bans? Don't they just write something vague?
amygdala, dopamine reward.

it's a feedback loop of reinforcement.

The Chainlink Fraud Exposed
There's a difference between being grumpy and being an abusive asshole. Unfortunately, this article seems to conflate the two and seems to be rationalizing bullshit behavior from CEOs as being indicative of success rather than being too-big-to-fail.

I've worked with plenty of grumpy people that had a no-nonsense attitude but never let it get in the way of being genuinely helpful or used it to put down people.

I've also worked with assholes that were bad at their jobs and pretended that their no-nonsense attitude was helpful when it was not. It's a very fine line to walk.
The Away's CEO behavior sounds exactly like Steve Jobs' legendary quality-obsessive behavior, except that he would fire the responsible persons without giving them a second chance.
Shhh, he cannot reveal that he’s reviewer #2!
All I could think of was Wallace and Gromit.
Presumably a reference to the "temporary insanity" defenses used by criminal defendants to try to evade responsibility (without much success in general).

The asymmetry obviously being that arguing you shouldn't be responsible for what happens when the pharmacy runs out of your anti-psychotic medication is very different then arguing that you shouldn't be responsible for beating down some distressed mentally ill civilian when the pharmacy runs out of their anti-psychotic medication.
> They could be one of the biggest solar players

But what's their advantage in solar? Lots of countries have plenty of sunlight, and some are closer to big markets. The pipeline infrastructure is useless. They don't have a manufacturing base, and most of their labor for it is foreign anyway, so could be more cheaply hired by putting the factory near the people. They don't have any home-grown high-tech.
Not all public repositories, all active public repositories. The homepage[0] clarifies that this means "every repo with any commits between the announcement at GitHub Universe on November 13th and 02/02/2020, every repo with at least 1 star and any commits from the year before the snapshot (02/03/2019 - 02/02/2020), and every repo with at least 250 stars"

I think that would be fine - but if that would be true, they could easily check for proof of Premium subscription to provide features that are paid.

But they're not - they're like one of those re-released Android Play Store apps which are hacked to provide paid features for free.
And you have not refuted the explanation I gave for why there was not a deployment yet. That explanation is why the argument you are sticking to there is nonsense.

Your last question there has the answer "because the cost of CO2 in Europe is not high enough yet." Hydrogen doesn't make sense until natural gas is quite expensive, but even then a renewable system with hydrogen will be cheaper than a CO2-free system with fully costed nuclear.

Are you employed by the nuclear industry, by any chance? If so, if you aren't too old, run do not walk to another career.
Assuming this is true(that there's a clause against viewing YouTube with a third party client), then they're free to ban users like me from their service(and suffer the PR backlash),
that doesn't mean that breaking that clause is unethical or illegal(I'm not from the US, we don't have draconian internet laws here)

Well, yeah, because 16 shifts is already way too long.

How to create accountability with your remote team
Background: https://time.com/5017111/gop-tax-plan-teacher-tax-credit/
I've been working on project with Blazor for a few months. I still find myself feeling a little dread when I need to start work on a new big component and then I remember, not only will it not be painful, it will be pleasantly supersizing how easy it was compared to the 5 other time I built something similar in various JS frameworks over the years.

Only Clojure(Script) with Reagent gives me a similar good feeling, better actually, but I've never had a chance to use it at work. If Razor markup could somehow also be C# instead of HTML, like how Reagent markup is just Clojure, that would be neat, but I'm not sure that could be done in a pleasant way.
I wouldn't call it junk science. I am not a scientist but I do know of times I've gotten so emotional (and really, pick an emotion here) that I've lost myself. IMO there is a breakpoint for most people when we either get too depressed, or too manic, to fully appreciate and control our behavior. With the fight or flight response kicking in, I think we can find ample evidence of people under extreme stress or duress just...losing themselves and going on autopilot.
I’d argue that has little to do with Disney as a corporation/organization and because humans are innately driven to create

Look around the web at the content being generated by people at home?

It used to take warehouse size buildings of people at tables sketching page after page of what were really long flipbooks, with huge machines churning to get it all together on reels.

Now 4-5 people, some nVidia cards can make something that artistically is miles beyond Steamboat Mickey and Snow White.

My kids don’t even know those movies exist. Precisely because of the points raised by OP you would look passed. Though I think you’d quickly see it’s mostly just people driven to create.

Disney is a draw to creatives that grew up on a lot of non-Disney created works Disney owns these days. A nice paycheck, not a source of creativity and inspiration.

How many more decades of Mickey, Marvel and Star Wars people doing the same old Mickey, Marvel and Star Wars looking things do we need? How creative.
> it's definitely very possible to be a quiet nerd who also has not the best attitude towards women

Of course, but that doesn't mean that "sexist quiet software engineer nerd" is a common personality type. In my experience the "quiet nerds" tend to be the most kind people.

Also I've found in America that most women seem to prefer dating outgoing men, so I'd guess that most of these women aren't dating these "quiet nerds".

> As an aside, calling women 'females' is definitely something that can set off alarms

Never realized the word had that connotation to some people. Sounds overly sensitive, but I'll use "women" if that's preferred.
It happens, appreciate the friendly response
Inside Johnson & Johnson's Nonstop Hunt for a Coronavirus Vaccine
Some of the precautions (particularly masks) are primarily around not giving it to others, so you really need _other people_ to be taking the precautions, too.
Thanks, Abe.
Good point. Although when it comes to deciding which repositories to show on the badge, I think I'd like a balance between the amount of my contribution and the importance of the repository.
The first thing that comes to mind isn't the virus, but defending one's body, home, or business from rioters.
NewPipe is fantastic, but worth mentioning since I don't see it so far, that the one killer downside is "no support for Chromecasting/DLNA" [1] [2], which means I continue to keep the official YouTube app around for occasional use when I want a bigger screen.

Classically trained CEO's don't use the language of makers. They use language that describes cashflow, savings, and debt. They are accountants at heart (who are beholden to shareholders -- not their employees).

Just look at the language used to describe a successful CEO 'sprinter' by Harvard Business Review (https://hbr.org/2018/01/the-fastest-path-to-the-ceo-job-acco...) :

"In his late twenties, “James” was hired in a strategy and business development role inside a multibillion-dollar marketing and communications business. Early in his career, he was offered the chance to build out one of the new businesses. It felt like a demotion, or at best a lateral move, to be handed a blank org chart and a highly uncertain future. “It was zero revenue when I stepped in, and we built that business to $250 million,” he says. By building a new business from scratch, he picked up essential management skills, such as running a P&L, managing a budget, and setting a strategic vision — all critical prerequisites to becoming a CEO (over 90% of the CEOs we studied had general management experience). Thirteen years later, he found himself the CEO of a $1.5 billion education and training business."
Even so, people give a lot of credence to the title, which is obviously very clickbaity.
I'd really love if we could just start over with the PHP base library design. There's just a lot of cruft that could be neatly packed into classes.

For instance, the arguments for array_map and array_reduce are reversed, one takes the function as first argument, one the array.
That's the whole point of the article - immigration is no longer the solution, the ratio of working:retired is falling.
Saying that Python 2 & 3 use a completely different syntax is a pretty gross overstatement.
Show HN: The only PHP library you miss
It is curious that the section you identified was added June 17th, 2020.
> Nit: Not sure what this is supposed to mean. Is this an attempt to mimic how you speak aloud?

It's to add condescension.
I could say the same of every monotheistic religion. For example, one of the most famous Church Fathers, one still recognized as a saint by most Christian denominations, wrote as early as 4th century:

"Should you hear any one in the public thoroughfare, or in the midst of the forum, blaspheming God; go up to him and rebuke him; and should it be necessary to inflict blows, spare not to do so. Smite him on the face; strike his mouth; sanctify your hand with the blow, and if any should accuse you, and drag you to the place of justice, follow them, and when the judge ... calls you to account, say boldly that the man blasphemed the King of angels!"

But we don't judge all Christians based on that. Neither should all Muslims be judged on the basis of a particular interpretation of their scriptures, especially when the vast majority of them do not subscribe to it at all.
> I'd rather be with Grumpy people who are factual, realistic and capable

It's possible to be positive and also be factual, realistic, and capable. Being positive doesn't mean ignoring reality and glossing over everything negative. I'm a fairly positive person, but I definitely still have conversations where I say, "Yeah, this totally sucks, I'm not happy with it, and I think it needs to be fixed".

Approaching things in a positive, friendly, and collaborative manner has always served me and my teams far better than being grumpy and pessimistic about everything.
>not constantly changing equals it's end-of-life

No, it just means that its stable. I understand that it's probably habit to justify constant changes to your software projects, but in my experience, it's a good thing to be conservative, and a very good thing to maintain compatibility over a very long span of time.

EDIT: I swear, what is it with people opportunistically virtue-signalling on HN comments? Masks? Really?

It should be positive dialog. I try my best but slip when I'm tired and frustrated, mea culpa.

Could we try this again with an explicit goal of finding common ground?

For example, I'm not a supporter of rioting (but there's some compelling thoughts that in some cases it effectively becomes necessary because the system has failed those involved). I throw that last part in to acknowledge that the topic of "civil unrest" is complicated and can't be reduced demonizing every instance and participant (e.g., the Boston Tea Party is celebrated in our annals of American History).

Likewise, I'm not for eliminating all policing, but I do think the current structure we have does not serve society well. You can't fix what ain't broke, and it ain't broke until it's noticed.

Thoughts?
They also paid for the private lab to be setup. So if you really stretch it, you could come to the conclusion that they're taking testing capacity away from the public. But I think that's an unreasonable conclusion, since they created the testing capacity themselves.
It is a fair criticism, is it not? My go-to for this issue is my Kindle Paperwhite for which I did not spend the extra $20 to turn off the ads. Amazon has over ten years of my reading habits, which mainly consist of sci-fi, philosophical/religious non-fiction, and miscellaneous dregs. You know what I have never, ever read in my life? Some along the lines of the "Witches of Paragrene Point" series of books. Or the "Defending $POPULAR_90S_GIRL_NAME" series (which I take to be "manly hunk is bodyguard for a female has to rescue her at some point"). But those show up on my Kindle, at which point I assume Amazon just isn't even trying.

After about ten years or so of Kindle ownership, I recall clicking the ad and buying the book exactly once. Yup, a sci-fi book, and it was pretty damned good as I recall. The title, you ask? Hell if I know, Amazon never showed me another book from that author ever again. And I wish they would, because I can't remember which one in my "stacks" of sci-fi is the one I want.

I always read comments about how Twitter is not profitable. Any ideas as to how much of their revenue comes from ads vs. businesses paying for API usage?
What did they think was going to happen when everyone on TV started screaming "DEFUND POLICE!" ?

Did they really expect people to just accept that they're now completely defenseless. (Not that dialing 911 and waiting an avg of 15 minutes for a response is much of a defense, of course)
I hope you get into it, and if you do, you should consider going to some classes. Doing it by yourself in front of a screen is good, but nothing beats the environment of a class with others. It's hard to describe, since you don't really interact with everyone, but there's a certain energy you get - you can stretch a bit farther and relax a bit more deeply. Plus, you may think you're doing things correctly, but a good instructor can spot even the smallest misalignments.
Fair enough, I was focused on the first part of that sentence to the exclusion of the rest of it, which is my mistake.

In most cases (my experience comes from working in broadcast industry but not specifically YouTube), those restrictions are there due to creators wanting to be paid for background playback (this is in 99% cases for music, where not adding this restriction would essentially make creators and the might copyright holders unpaid).

So bypassing the wishes of copyright holder / creator and getting the content for free is pretty much textbook definition of piracy.

Now, we can debate whether piracy is ethical in some cases (and I think it is in many cases, especially due to how cancerous the copyright lobby is these days). But let's not pretend that having a service provider say "hey, pay us 10$ a month for this feature" and then making an app that gives that paid feature for free is some kind of right.
Yes, that would have made for a much better article+title I think. They would also make a better case by mentioning cases where the substances involved do not have such effects (for example, weed) rather than methamphetamine. But with such a poor clickbait title it's too much to expect.
It is worth watching Jocko Willink’s video on how he holds his team accountable.

It may be that what your team needs is:

- clarity on the priority of something, like in Jocko’s example

- Comraderie

- A sense of Purpose

- Diagrams that they used to draw on a whiteboard

- A way to know that someone’s not desperately trying to get their attention over Slack (without keeping slack open)

Donald Arthur Norman coined the term User Experience (UX) when he was in Apple.

He defined it as: ‘User experience’ encompasses all aspects of the end-user’s interaction with the company, its services, and its products.
Might save everyone some time with a generic template:

________, used by police to justify ________, is junk science.
Ah yes, the "new world" that the developers like and that ultimately complicates things for end-users, and obsoletes 30+ years of software in the process.

I prefer stability.
I downvoted this because these are (in my opinion) entirely theoretical and not practical answers. This reminds me of the "React is better than Angular(js) because look how compact and clean the API is compared to Angular!" type arguments. This implies that "React apps" are going to be less complex than Angularjs apps but the reality is anything but: large React applications tend to be just as heavyweight and hard to understand as Angular ones once you need a router, state manager, and 20 or 30 other "compact" libraries to do what you're trying to do.

Likewise "When you have a stable component boundary you can upgrade libraries a component at a time, rather than needing to upgrade the whole application at once. Yes, you might have some overhead during the transition" I'll believe this when I see it, but I suspect you're making this sound way less painful than it actually would be. More likely each dev adds a new framework, they all move on to other teams/companies, no one is interested in painstakingly updating everything, and you have perpetual lock-in until you do the "JavaScript Shuffle" i.e. scrap it and rewrite in a new framework.

I'd love what you're saying to be true but my experiences tell me it probably is not.
Is webrtc not p2p? I will check out SRTP! Thanks for letting me know!
Most front-page threads mentioning China lately were actually about Zoom and yes there was a lot of criticism of Zoom's actions and there were many people angrily attributing that to xenophobia. Was it? Or is that your perception? People here tend to generally be very supportive of Hong Kong protesters. Is that also just xenophobia? Beyond that I've very rarely seen openly xenophobic or racist posts and when they happen they get downvoted into oblivion immediately which I think is a better representation of the HN community.
most people have moved to techniques that produce longer reads with higher error rates. good coverage + longer reads overcomes the higher error rate. You can read the DALIGN paper by Myers to learn more. Or read https://dazzlerblog.wordpress.com/author/thegenemyers/
While nature is creative, and deserves a lot of credit, we know that it doesn't always find the "best" solutions. If we can build jet planes faster than birds, and solar panels more efficient than plants, why not greyer goo than natural bacteria?
Accessibility is key IMO. And why it's sad the standard components don't get more love. Like why in 2020 can't select dropdowns do basic matching on any part of optiond instead of only leading characters? Or show filtered results as one types?

Wow, that's so much cleaner - why don't they just do it like this in the example? I'd be much happier learning standard web components if they were all a breath of fresh air like this.

Personally I'd miss the JSX syntax, but this more than makes up for it by removing the entire whacky state vs. props thing. Although- how do you represent custom props here - arguments to the constructor? That'd be really elegant.

Do those styles and query selectors leak out of the component? I'm assuming they don't since that's the entire point of the idea of a component, but just want to be sure.
I understand how forced positivity might seem fake, but studies have shown that forcing a smile or forcing a group activity, can actually improve people's moods (both the giver and the recipient).

It is a cultural shift though that seems alien initially, but then you really get used to it, and it really does make people feel better when they encounter it literally at every store. Positivity also disarms people and makes them more likely to purchase goods.
Just look at a mirror. :)
> Masks became political the moment the CDC, WHO, and US Surgeon General

Ah, I see you take the Trumpian line of "it's everybody else's fault except me!". It became political in your country because the dozy muppet you elected as president can't actually deal with anything.

> "People are actually dying" isn't the adult conversation.

It's the reality on the ground. Other countries are gradually opening up their "draconian measures" and are managing to contain the virus. If you can't do that, it's your own failure.
Some of this stuff is bleeding edge and not every possible use case has been addressed. Web components bring a valuable contribution to what browsers are capable of, and everything will catch up in time. For example, there's already talk about a declarative shadow DOM [1].
You're pretending that all killing is OFFENSIVE.

If someone comes at you or your family with the intent to harm them, and you kill them for it, that's DEFENSIVE.

It's enshrined in the 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution for a reason. The founding fathers didn't just get back from some sweet hunting trip when they wrote it; They just overthrew an oppressive tyrannical government to defend their homes and families.
Pretty poor analogy, since rather than just being slow to "catch up" to the fraud, the German government actively abetted it by jailing a short seller and halting any short selling of Wirecard.

Additionally, Madoff's fraud was of a private investment fund only open to higher networth SEC-accredited investors (who presumably need less protection), whereas Wirecard was publicly traded on a major exchange, where anyone could buy shares of it.
