Unless you do gross misconduct, Google is one of the hardest companies to get fired from. Don't worry much about that. Even if you are a bad engineer, there are people worse than you in Google, and they keep their jobs.

The thing with those books is, they are 100% based on faith. There are no underlying facts that they're based on. They're independently constructed origin myths and allegorical morality tales.

With an article in the NYT, it's a narrative representation of objective facts as filtered through the lens of a reporter. If you think it's B.S. check Reuters, check WaPo, check NPR, hell check Fox reporting on the same core set of facts.

If the story is important, it's going to be out on the wire feeds, and other major outlets. The narratives average out, the facts (mostly) stay the same.

That's the whole point of college. So we can learn to think about complicated things and draw on multiple sources to paint a cohesive picture.
> Why is wasm necessarily slower

Usually wasm is twice slower than native code:
https://www.usenix.org/conference/atc19/presentation/jangda

WebAssembly is essentially a bytecode that needs to be JITted before running. That's pretty much the same situation as with Java, you may have comparable performance but usually comparable Java code runs slower that native.

The standard for lead in drinking water is set where it is so a kid can drink the tap water from day 1 and not suffer any ill effects. There are municipalities all over the country delivering water that meets these standards through some amount of lead or leaded fittings.

In light of that it seems disingenuous to complain that a hose (as opposed to the water coming out of the hose) has 18x that much lead. If the lead has no reasonably means by which it will get into someone then what's the big deal?

I'm not saying I want more lead but you gotta pick your battles when it comes to chemically. Anything is bad if you have enough exposure. If the amount of lead people are exposed to is not gonna have any effect in their lifetime then lets check that box and move on to the next chemical.

I find Kotlin more readable than Java in most cases -- less noise to drown out the actual logic. Could you provide an example of a language feature which requires you to "hold context in your head"? It's possible that you have just worked in bad codebases abusing Kotlin sugar. Inferred types for example can improve readability, but only if the variables are named appropriately.
> Most importantly, it impersonates the Game Boy processor. Although this solution requires a lot of computational power, and therefore energy, it allows any popular retro game to be played straight from its original cartridge.

It's not clear whether they're emulating the Game Boy in software and this is just running on an ARM or something, or if this is an FPGA-based hardware recreation (or even custom silicon, since schools can have the resources), or if they actually harvested the hardware from an old Game Boy. Aside from the custom silicon, none of these would be maximally energy efficient (the real GB would've been done on ancient processes), so it's exciting to think about what a battery-less gaming system could be if the market demanded it.

What you've said is accurate, but one thing that's different in this case compared to the web is Apple's walled garden.

The walled garden certainly has problems but in this case a real benefit is that Apple forbids these kinds of technical workarounds. You can implement them, but do you want to run the risk of your app being banned from the only distribution channel on iOS because of it?
2x VC-backed founder looking for co-founder
Hi HN,

My co-founder (currently Managing Director @ prominent VC fund) and myself (2x technical founder) are looking for a third technical co-founder (15%+ equity) to help us build a CRM for CEOs. This is a full-time role. You will code, hire and lead a lean engineering team along myself. We've bootstrapped so far but have a VC round ready to go when we put together the right team. We're fully remote and are working closely with users to build our V1. The technical stack is Rails/React.

> There is also a proclivity to accidentally introduce infinite loops with hooks, which was a rare problem when dealing with classes.

That makes me quirk an eyebrow. Somebody's doing something fundamentally wrong in how they're writing the component if they're making an infinite loop happen with hooks.
this is a pointless example. it doesn't render anything, and therefore doesn't have to deal with React's render cycle.

also, you shouldn't use useState unless you want it to rerender, which you don't because you're printing to console. use a ref instead for myNumber.

the problem you are trying to solve, updating a number if someone clicks on something, is already solved in React:

const HelloComponent => React.forwardRef((props, forwardRef) => {
const myNumber = useRef(0)
const printToConsole = () => {
myNumber.current = myNumber.current + 1
console.log("My Number:", myNumber.current)
}
render (
<div ref={forwardRef} onClick={printToConsole}>click me</div>
)
}

then you can simply trigger a click by calling .click() on the forwarded ref wherever you happen to mount it.

The literature states 1000-2000 is safe for basically anyone, but you really shouldn't be taking more than that without actually going to a doctor and getting your deficiency confirmed. Just because you have darker skin, it doesn't mean taking a higher oral dose won't cause other issues.

IIRC daily doses above 2000 over a longer timespan can (infrequently) cause your vitamin B12 levels to fall off, and/or the amount of calcium in your blood to build up, so your doctor might want to schedule a follow-up appointment after some time has passed to make sure those levels still look okay, and adjust supplements for those variables accordingly.

IMO these walled-garden app stores that are supposed to be "so good for the users" should require quality release notes that describe the exact "performance improvements and bug fixes" that the respective apps apparently receive.

What is it that makes you think this is caused by "walled gardens?" Do you have a link to a policy that requires this, or is it your own biases showing through?
The police and the general population have very different flavors of bad apple.

The "good" protestors have no ability nor obligation to remove or control the "bad" ones. It's shameful that some see fit to dismiss the message of them all for the actions of a few. And anyway, the goodness or badness of violent or riotous protests through the lens of history is more than a little bit complicated.

The police do have such an ability and obligation. They are organized and they are in a position of power. It is shameful that some see fit to excuse the entire enterprise because not all cops are bad.

Neither is as simple as that.
There are quite a few reasons to have release notes like this:

1. Major apps often do phased rollouts of features in order to react to potential production issues, or to make certain features available to a limited subset of users or regions without having to do an emergency binary release if things go wrong.

2. The new build contains an A/B experiment, and you don't want to tell users that feature X was revamped because the experiment might not even go anywhere and only a small number of users will see it, anyways.

3. Your app is stable enough to have a regular release cadence e.g. monthly or biweekly, and you actually are just shipping whatever bugfixes made it into master since the last release with the major feature changes hidden behind feature flags until they are ready for 1. or 2.

4. The vast, vast, majority of users never read the update notes on the app store. They have automatic updates enabled, and your app updates at 3AM when their phone is plugged in on wifi and they are fast asleep.

5. Building on 4, if you actually want to advertise new features to users, it is better to build a native experience into the app either building a UI highlighting what has changed in the new version, or just popping up a dialog to show the patch notes (can be coupled with 1. and 2. to only show the dialog to users who have gotten the new feature enabled in the phased rollout or experiment). Discord is an example of an app that does this well.

6. Also building on 4., the changes are so minor that they are not worth paying a translation service to translate your patch notes if you are offering your app in multiple languages.

> It’s not unreasonable to hold a leader somewhat responsible - it’s not like Trump isn’t criticised (rightly) for things done by other people on his watch.

Clearly you could decide that you will hold a leader to be (somewhat) responsible simply by virtue of them being the leader, as a matter of principle. However, it seems quite possible to at least _imagine_ situations where a leader is "fatally" undermined by people within their own organisation. Given that, it is worth considering whether that may have been the situation for Corbyn, and if so where culpability lies.

To complete your point, I would contend that this isn't the key issue with Trump - it isn't obvious to me that generalising over these situations is really that useful.
I was gonna say, the outlay of capital for a building-wide hydronic system and an evaporative tower, versus each owner be responsible for their AC, I can see why that would be possible.

Particularly if the building is older.

Also, I am curious why there are multiple single condensor units in lieu of multizone units...I guess it is financially easier to purchase one unit at a time.

I worked at Optimizely for 4 years and can tell you that pivoting to Enterprise has been one of the best company decisions.

One of the important distinctions between Optimizely and most developer-first platforms is that experimentation is a hard practice to pick up. Most companies have difficulties getting their programs off the ground and keeping them funded, let alone grow or scale them. Small digital businesses struggle more for several reasons: 1) they have few resources, so teams are understaffed and resources are pulled easily, 2) they have little money, so the percentage uplifts are rarely motivating, 3) they have little traffic, so it is harder to get a statistically significant measure in their experiments

Because of these issues, Optimizely always had really poor retention in the SMB space. Nonetheless, the SMB customers helped Optimizely build up a brand name, build up legions of practitioners, and get the skills and experience to go after the Enterprise market. When Optimizely started acquiring enterprise customers, retention improved substantially.

This isn't to say that there aren't lots of problems with Enterprise sales and that Optimizely didn't make tons of cultural mistakes in that pivot. But on the core financials, Enterprise kept Optimizely afloat. The problem wasn't the pivot to enterprise, but the trade-offs that were mismanaged along the way. The path to enterprise was inevitable and correct.
That reads like a post-hoc justification to me. Most people practice ignoring people by, well, ignoring them. If they don't, they will explain what's "really going on" by just explaining it, not with prolonged fits of unwarranted and uncharitable apoplexy.

As I described elsewhere, Graeber is also lying when he said he made any serious attempt to ignore DeLong at all.

That's not actually a lot is it?

Also, all commercial reactors already pay a fee for nuclear waste disposal. There is tons and tons of money available that has been stored for 50+ years.

The problem is that the government is totally incompetent and instead of developing a solution the money accumulates and politicians are in deadlock.

Both the solution for long term storage for the US has basically been known since the 50 (not Nevada) and the way to reduce the 'waste' has also been known since the 60s. That noting is actually done is not a technical issue.

However, commercial 'waste' is actually valuable material that we can easily store for 100 of years without much trouble or cost, and its not very dangerous either. This 'waste' will actually serve as a fuel for future reactors. Even if you believe that the whole nuclear energy industry will totally collapse and go away. The fees collected would allow for the development of a waste destroying reactor.
Most of the comments here are missing a big part of the context: newspapers in the early 1800s didn't do journalism as we know it today. Most relied entirely on rumors and letters that crossed their desk, combined with cribbing old stories from the foreign press. Newspaper staff was often just one or two people doing the writing, marketing, and distribution (and often the typesetting too). There wasn't this idea that a journalist should be conducting interviews or investigating stories or even arriving at the scene of anything. Most papers were funded largely by political patronage as well.

For a great book on the history of American journalism I recommend "Infamous Scribblers" by Eric Burns.
> Is there anyone who would argue that React Hooks are "intuitive", or at least become that way after you've used them for long enough?

In my experience, they make life much, much easier than using class components as soon as you have any complicated amount of lifecycle management. A lot of componentDidMount, componentDidUpdate, componentWillUnmount, etc stuff collapses down into single useEffect statements, which you can then turn into your own hook wrapper if you're reusing functionality.
>> Ignoring the world around them is how so many Americans still think Iraq had something to do with 9/11.

Consider that maybe them ingesting news from the President and other "news sources" are the reason they think this. Not because they are ignoring the world. If they ignored the world around them, they wouldn't have an opinion at all.

So in that case, how good is the consumption of information?

This is a lot like people saying that the people from thousands of years ago thought the world was flat. Then there is a rebuttal saying "no, Eratosthenes proved it was round forever ago, people knew that." The reality is people didn't think about if the world was round or not and it had zero impact on their life and vice versa.

People consume so much news information thinking it makes them a good citizen or something. But our power to change what happens 7000 miles away is basically nil; the power to change the lives of people within 7 miles of you is massive. And if we all did that... the people 7000 miles away would probably get a lot better results than us whining and wringing our hands about it while hoping politicians did something.

OK, let me rephrase my comment:

The number of add-ons that used to work before, was exponentially bigger than 9. Can we agree on that?

One example of add-ons that will stop working, is the Google container. Mozilla keeps making choices on behalf of its users by releasing an official Facebook container but not an official Google container (or an Amazon or a Twitter one) even though it would be trivial to fork the Fb container to achieve that [1].

This is problematic because we know that the largest share of Mozilla's revenue is from Google.

That's like a smoking cessation products company that is funded by Philip Morris.

So, you will excuse me if I think that some or recent Mozilla's choices are not in the interest of its users.

[1] and no, the multi-account container is not the answer because it's non-trivial to set up for less technical users

> However, I struggle with things like a suicide pill given to air force pilots.

it does raise an interesting, if morbid question. personally, I think it is fine for someone to kill themselves (or receive assistance in doing so) if they are facing a near certainty of terrible suffering for the rest of their life. the tricky part is the "certainty" bit. many people experience varying degrees of suffering at some point in their lives, but it is uncommon for it to persist throughout their entire lives.

if you are interested in a way to sidestep this specific question, I would point out that the pills are not only for the benefit of the pilots. the measure is also to protect others who might be harmed by information divulged under interrogation.
