The point about frameworks is something all developers and software engineers need to realise, about all programming languages and domains.

Use what you need to use, in a way that makes the code easier to read, shorter, etc. A simple brochure site with little in the way of interactivity doesn't need to be built in React or Angular. A one page portfolio site doesn't need Bootstrap, and even many bigger ones don't need to import the entire framework.

What's best practice for Google and what's best practice for a small widget manufacturer in the middle of nowhere are likely not the same.

That's basically the lesson behind all of these points to be honest. Use what's right for the project instead of taking a list of rules as gospel and overcomplicating things to hell.
According to my estimate the Beirut explosion was about one quarter the explosive force of the Hiroshima bomb. Does anyone concur with this?
Turns out it wasn’t voluntary - an unscrupulous ship owner abandoned their crew, vessel and cargo when the vessel was deemed unseaworthy - they’ve been trying to get rid of it for years.

It’s not the most stable stuff, but with wet nitrate you’ll usually just get a fierce fire, not a detonation - but if a percussive shell from the fireworks landed in it and then detonated, that would be enough to make it go bang.

There is a lot of negativity in your response without even deluding to what's really wrong with the advice. There are tons of very successful founders recommending focusing on adoption instead of revenue in initial period. Freemium is very well adopted all over. Literally entire app industry worth billions of dollars use this model. Again, I'm not claiming to be expert in this domain. You are entitled to your opinion and frankly we are all armchair pundits here, however, it's bad form to spew out so much negativity without any reasoning or even alternative.

This is $32/mth for fewer features than iMovie - which isn't exactly a difficult tool to learn. And is also free. And works on your phone/tablet with no separate content upload step.

This reminds me of those canned Flash and js animation sites from 10-15 years ago - where people who couldn't learn ActionScript or js would pay $$$$$ for a basic text explode or image carousel.

It's a perfectly viable business model, but it is rather literally aiming at the Dummies part of the market.

The best part of this is the marketing and the site design, not the actual product.
This seems to be mostly a rant against OO and frameworks, which is fine but also geared towards developers who are already familiar with these concepts and have enough experience to assess them.
Being informed is great. Everyone should have enough of an idea to be able to make informed decisions about the world and engage with it usefully.

But that's not what Doomscrolling does for people. If you already know that X is wrong, reading 500 more instances of how X is going on doesn't add to your knowledge. It doesn't allow you to do anything more about it. It doesn't change anything meaningful.

Gather enough knowledge to be useful. Beyond that point it's just going to make you miserable without adding anything to you or the world.

(You probably want to gather a little more than that, to be sure you're not missing anything key. But learn to spot when you're just pointlessly bathing in horror.)
It is an advantage that priors must be explicitly chosen.

The 1st seller was aware there was a big chance for the stock to grow, but was in need of liquidity for other ventures or needs.
And the second buyer, know that it was bought much cheaply, but he is bullish on that stock.
If the trade happened that means it was the best possible trade on those moments, but there will always be external factors because we are all humans, we all have different reasons, different needs and different experience and knowledge.

So generic libraries can be built and abstracting frequently used operations over many different data types. I've never implemented a monad myself outside of a toy project and am by no means an expert, but it's quite nice to be able to transfer certain knowledge on lists to options or futures. Similar to generic interfaces like a collection interface, so whether you are working on a set or a list you know that 'get' or 'exists' can be used.

I've taken a non-technical lesson from these blog posts. It's a simple one - their very existence has made the rust compilation time less of an issue to me.

For most people, knowing that the relevant people (in this case the Rust team) agree with your problem and are doing something about it significantly reduces the pain of the problem, because you know it's getting better. You need both parts though - the Rust team could be quietly working on performance for years and double compile speed and I probably wouldn't notice. This blog series is excellent marketing for some forward progress, and means that I do notice, and feel better about it.

That's my worry too. A lot of us are very defensive now even to be reasonable. However it is hard to buy these videos if you were born and raised in China, simply because you understand the culture around it. For example there are a lot of Vloggers in Xinjiang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dRXnF42z1oM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P3VGz4HFs_A

If you understand the language and culture the locals talk a similar way to the responses from the BBC video. And in the Vice video the locals even spoke for the secret journalists.

Also for mainland china everyone refers people from any ethnic background from Xinjiang a 'Xinjianger' not a singled out 维族人. I'm sure there are a lot of injustice but ethnic minorities are known to entitle a few 'privileges' such as carrying knives and not subject to one-child policy. Hence the cause of the inevitable unfair treatment and conflict (to be honest many policies are not up to modern liberal views). I'm not defending ccp ever, but I'm also shocked people knew very little about everything else.
Has anyone heard of good resources that teach you "when to use X" instead of "why you should use X"?

It's somewhat understandable that the official websites of frameworks/tools/libraries/languages/services tend towards espousing the advantages of the thing and leaving out most of the drawbacks. That's just how the incentives are aligned. But even the average blog article about a tool posted on HN rarely talks about what situations it is most effective, and what situations it should potentially be avoided. I suppose it's a natural consequence of blog authors only knowing so many tools, no single person knows them all.

I'm not saying this information isn't out there – just that it seems like the exception rather than the rule.
Here's a clearer version of the paper[0].

This paper[1] is a good way for object-oriented programmers to understand why functional programmers care about these higher order abstractions. The goal is not so different from OOP, which is about structuring programs as reusable components (AKA design patterns). The difference of course is that one doesn't need to resort to diagrams and prose, instead they can be written directly in the programming language.

Relatedly, one of my favorite books in functional programming is Algebra of Programming[2], which is about treating programs as an algebra that can be manipulated as easy (with practice) as algebraic expressions in math. The book solves various problems through program derivation, for instance solving the maximum subsegment problem by refining a naïve spec, deriving sorting algorithms, greedy algorithms, dynamic programming and thinning algorithms.

This draft book[3] has similar content to the earlier chapters of AoP but is far more accessible. The downside of AoP is that I had to resort to reading it with a math professor to understand it.

Yeah I understand where you’re coming from, and maybe my reply broke my own rule of giving advice without a personal story.

Where i’m coming from is having listened to advice from people who I looked up to, but who did it to get rid of me (because I was ignorant of protocols/etiquette), rather than being genuinely interested in my project. I’ve learned that the SV world has a high rate of failure and many are hungry, and they try to also carve out a role for themselves, or try to get involved somehow, even if that means they’ll claim competence in an area they’re not competent in. I was more naive then, compared to today, but believing these ‘gurus’ was a painful learning experience for me, because their advice often left me stranded in the end.

I’m not negative, it’s more just sharing my disappointments and struggles. Thanks again for your comment, which made me see I kinda broke my own rule
> Again, I'm not claiming to be expert in this domain.

Actually nowhere in your original post do you include this "not claiming to be an expert" disclaimer.

As a result, when I read your original post, I assumed that perhaps you were an expert as there was no self-doubt at all evident.

I think perhaps that's what the allegedly negative post that you are responding to is getting at.

There are even more improvements (in some regard) to this, e.g. Affine Arithmetic[0, 1]. Here, error terms from different operations are accumulated symbolically so that in the case where they would cancel out (as could be useful for numerical algorithms), tighter bounds can be obtained.
There are several research groups working on improving such analyses.

That would mean that rich people could just do non-violent crime without any real consequences. The risk to be caught is way too small to outweigh the rewards of those crimes. It would still be a benefit for them in the long term.
I don't understand why i'm being downvoted or why there's anything wrong with analytical speculation of this type, even about a tragedy.

If anything, this very site and its comments are loaded with exactly that kind of commentary, done mostly in good spirit and tolerance for those who do it. No, i'm not an explosives expert or professional with detailed knowledge of blast yields, but like many of you, I have something of a strong curiosity in a topic irrelevant to my professional occupation. So, based on educated guesstimating, I decided to share a polite opinion about it, like so many others regularly do on HN. Chill.
Last time I checked, USA did have corporate tax. Just like we got in Europe.
I've been enjoying using both of these a lot.

Alpine has replaced situations where I would previously use vanilla JS or jQuery (i.e. simple UI interactivity, but Vue would be overkill), but is far nicer to use.

LiveWire is perfect for things like data tables—it's not really interactive per se, but a full page refresh to change filtering or sorting sucks, and implementing it as a purely JavaScript component makes it harder to use all the cool Laravel stuff I have on the backend. With LiveWire I can just pass in the path to a Blade partial to use as the table row template, and use all the back-end stuff I like.

That just leaves the complex, high interactivity stuff, which I continue to use Vue for.

LiveWire is missing a couple of features that's stopping me using it in production (namely the ability to apply different middleware to different components), but V2 is out soon so hopefully that will include it. If not I'll probably look at contributing it myself.
No problem. You're absolutely right. I did have fun making it and learned a lot in the process. No regrets.

Goals change over time. Even now I'm making new goals that will no doubt be a bit different in years to come.
> There is always a prior. The question is how aware you are of it.

Very well said. Not to mention that being able to tune the prior shows how much you are depending on those assumptions.
I agree with the sentiment but I don't agree with the language/runtime that is PHP.

There are many, many more superior options when it comes to general purpose 'no-framework' styles.
I made a comment elsewhere about page load time not being the only dimension of performance. Page load time’s importance gets amortized across the length of the whole session. You should always try and minimize it, but in an application like Gmail you’ll be using it for minutes at a time. Each subsequent interaction is now quicker because there doesn’t need a page refresh.

Page load time is one dimension. We get really hung up on it.

Tip: you don't have to be pro-CCP to realize that (mainstream) Western reporting on China is frequently very focused on a handful of stories and discards a lot of information that doesn't fit.

Introduction, related works, methods, OK, but writing the conclusion before doing experiments sounds like an integrity issue (assuming you re-write the conclusion after the experiments -- else I'd label it fraud). What is the idea behind it?
I believed the idea was originally popularised by the slogan “La propriété, c'est le vol”, where vol does translate to theft. But violence would certainly be quite similar to Proudhon‘s original meaning for the phrase.

Marx didn’t like the idea because he said it presupposes that property exists, which he obviously had a problem with. Fun fact, this disagreement was the primary conflict that split the IWA into seperate anarchist and Marxist movements. With the anarchists later going on to adopt national socialism, which at the time was known as fascism.
