Which template engine? Then what if you realize you need a router? Then the developer who glued those together leaves, and all you can hire is juniors.

There are benefits to using the industry standard (which today I consider Vue, React, Angular and slowly Svelte), you can learn it quickly, as it has ton of resources and you can hire easily, as you aren't forcing someone to use some obscure, home baked js framework.

That's my take at least.
This is very well put

Not sure why someone is assuming Facebook did this for an honest reason when Facebook is the best example of an extremely dishonest large tech company

*

The founder Zucker berg literally wrote - They trust me, the dumb fucks

He wrote this in college

He has shown a pattern of treating his users as 'dumb fucks'

Again and again more and more data comes up that Facebook is a dishonest company. not a 'by mistake' dishonest, but a fundamentally dishonest company

And always White Knights like this guy show up claiming 'it is to optimize loading speed)

*

Now Facebook is finally getting into trouble with even the left, because instead of helping Obama get elected it seems now they are helping Trump get elected

So their own dishonesty is so extreme that they are trying to help both Democrats and Republicans thinking both sides are dumb fucks that will forget what Facebook did to screw them over in past elections
UV light wouldn't help you much if you are already infected.
What I find really interesting in this debate is how the same story can be spun two ways. Here, the headline is listed as "Apple Ending "Fortnite Save the World" Updates for Mac" which is a word for word title from Epic's blog post. Fair enough.

The same story on Techmeme linked to an article about the blog post has the title "Epic says it will shut down Fortnite: Save the World on macOS on September 23rd".

Notice the tone shift from "Apple is shutting this down" to "Epic is shutting this down". I guess I don't really have a point here other than the title is not enough to draw a conclusion. Even reading a single source's take on a story is not enough context to draw a balanced conclusion. There is bias and nuance to every side and a healthy dose of skepticism is needed.
Um, it is simply very expensive to create a good VR experience. It's not expensive BECAUSE of network effects and economies of scale and corporations. It is only POSSIBLE and AFFORDABLE because of those things.

For another example, to make a modern movie can cost hundreds of millions of dollars. It is only possible to make them because there are many people who will possibly watch it and pay for it. Nobody would be able to film the Lord of The Rings trilogy in their own basement just for their own entertainment. Not yet, anyway - tools of the future may make it possible ("GPT-300, make me a good movie based on the LOTR books").
Correct. The difference between Facebook and Tiktok is who can apply pressure and in what ways. For example many people believe that Trump's antitrust moves against Google are also political, different situation different techniques but same goal, a battle over the control of social networks.
In scripts, I usually do stuff like this

or

arg
So they clearly don't do what you are suggesting! They do it because social logins are so prevalent. The issue, which seems to be evading those who argue against this policy, is that organisations such as Facebook use these logins to track users. I work in security, if you want to talk risk, I'm more than happy too. But suggesting this is a greater risk to developers, when their actions are often causing greater risks to end users? That's insanity.

>with such sensitivity to UV light

I don't think the sensitivity is specific to COVID-19. I believe it extends to all coronaviruses, if not all flu viruses.
No it totally works, it's not bad. The one big broken thing in August was that the type for components (RenderContext) thought component props should be passed as "props={ myprop: 1 }" instead of "myprop={1}".

See:

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/568037134968160256/73...

Comment I made about this I dug up:

"The issue seems to be that the definition for RenderContext<Props> puts the props under the key "props", so when trying to define them on your JSX/TSX element, it expects you to put them under <MyComponent props={ } />. If you do this though, it breaks in another way because it's missing the other properties of RenderContext and it's not a great API =/"

This is fixed now though I am pretty sure.
You could ask how humans evolved in a world that is mostly water and humans drown so easily. They are also present in regions surrounded by water? How did they get there?

They developed in places that are not water and moved to other places through water by occupying small spots of non-water while in transit.

Same with the virus. It developed in places that UV doesn't reach, like insides of larger living things, and travel to other habitable places by exposing themselves to UV only very briefly while being somewhat shielded by water in breathed out droplets.
> For Example, Mike wants to plant a tree for you, it cost $5, we plant a tree on your behalf. (operational cost 1 dollar).

This part is very confusing. I had to read it like 3 times to understand it. What costs $5?

You are mixing here a donation to the content author and a donation to plant a tree. In the "buy me a coffee/beer" links, after removing any fixed and proportional fee, all the money goes to the content author, and nobody verifies that the money is used to buy a coffee/beer.

Unless you cut and remove the old trees, the new trees will be in another area and will not suppress the wildfires.

This seems like Amazon trying to make excuses for being the only cloud provider who thinks they can pursue HPC workloads without Infiniband. I can't help but notice that this paper consists of nothing but network bandwidth testing, and their latency testing was bulk-only. Also, IEEE Micro is a weird place to publish real supercomputing work.

Does Amazon have a plan for tightly-coupled large-scale software on AWS? Is there an exascale team at AWS?

edit: I found a thread on Twitter[1] where it is explained to us that the protocol in question will remain proprietary because nobody is smart enough to keep up with Amazon engineering, and Amazon engineers' convenience is more important than standards.

This is extremely disappointing -- it turns the entire fabric into a black box and slams the door on meaningful repeatability for large-scale modeling efforts. It's so frustrating to see all this effort fenced off behind 90s Business Dude mindsets.

Okay guys, this may be off-topic, not sure as I've not finished the article yet.

What (wiki?)books can I purchase that would help me bridge my mental understanding of computer circuitry from 'this is a circuit with a resistor and a power source and a lightbulb, while this is a CPU that has wires to memory and magic happens to make em talk' to 'I know the difference between TTL logic and a microprocessor and can fuzzily trace where the electrical signals go'?

I don't own but am aware of things called logic analyzers, 'progammers', and the difference between a microcontroler and a microprocessor (ish, the former is vaguely a system on a chip?), but I'm not sure where to start to fill in the many gaps in the bits of knowledge I have so far.

Wikipedia feeds me articles about logic gates, programmable logic, and Algorithmic Logical Units used in things like the Xerox Alto, but I don't know if this means I should try for electrical engineering courses or something simpler?
One example is building an application like minesweeper. Would you really want to tackle that with jQuery and templating engine? I'd rather break everything into components, have them talk to each other through a state manger like vuex or redux, and only phone home to my API for important things, like the final game score.
Well, it makes sense that this story's headline would favor Epic - it's a headline on epicgames.com. They're the only ones still pretending like they're the victim.
It will become harmful for the Internet because it sets a precedent and other countries might follow with similar actions protecting their markets from foreign apps. For example, here in Russia Yandex would be very happy if Google had been banned from Russian market.

> Having to write two type definitions for Component Props: one TS interface/type, and one as the JS object sucks.

Uh, you don't have to? TS inference works with the JS objects. There's no need to provide the generic argument here.

It's almost a necessity for complicated apps. Right now I'm building an app which involves a reporting screen with all the following features on a single page:

- 10+ breakdowns for report
- 10+ filters for report
- Each filter has an include/exclude dropdown list which then has multiple features within even a single filter (so some filters are EQUALS/NOT EQUALS) others are INCLUDES/DOESNT INCLUDE/EMPTY/NOT EMPTY and all the appropriate options for each filter, not to mention clearing filters, etc
- column sorting
- column hiding
- filtering with search
- pagination on both client and server side (50K rows batching into sub pagination groups which client side takes over on server batches)
- a dropdown at the top which re-initializes EVERY piece of data with a different account and changes quite literally re-initializes 50+ "states" of the UI on the page

Thinks of google analytics

First of all, we can assume doing this on the front end is 100% required. Imagine using google analytics where every single option you change is a backend request. Impossible, so now that weve gotten past that...

Imagine using something like jquery or custom JS where you try to manage the incredibly complicated input/output nature of each component of the page.

Component based design is required because you can keep all your logic for the entire app for a single TINY piece of the app in its own file. So something like a dropdown menu can get its own component called `<DropdownMenu>`, and within that you define all "outer state" that component can use as a prop, or input state (so for example, you want the items that appear in the list to be defined OUTSIDE the component so the component can be re-used). However, that component also has its own internal state, such as whether its open or not, whether its animating or not, what item is selected etc, so if a component has internal state, then you store it IN the component itself. So now the 'state' of EVERY component on the page is defined in 2 places... the originator of the state (such as the component which holds your API calls), or in the component itself. When any change takes place in ANY of those states, all components related to that state "update" automatically to use that new state. This means by simply making a new API call, the outer component state changes, and every single component that relies on that state updates accordingly, even for the most complex UI imaginable its trivial to think about 95% of the logic because all the state is exactly where you expect it to be, and when there are infinite numbers of nuanced side effects, you usually program them IN the component and you dont have to clutter your actual logic (say for instance the api updates your base state, you want the dropdown to reset to zero, so you would code this into the component itself, so that everywhere on the page that uses this component it would all follow suit).
This could be a disconnect between engineers who wanted to make a smooth experience on all devices and PR manager who does not want anything that could be construed as unethical behavior. IMO if this does affect performance it should probably be an option.

> Now electro-mechanical clocks are making the comeback, in the form of MEMS oscillators in consumer electronics

Note that quartz crystals are also electro-mechanical devices, as the quartz crystal is physically vibrating. This is particularly easy to see in lower-frequency quartz oscillators, such as the common 32.768KHz ones, that physically look and act just like tuning forks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2By2ane2I4

This also means that mechanical vibration/shock can throw off quartz crystals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4Z7CjxfUU8

> Unfortunately, this is a weird stance to take in the Vue community, almost nobody uses JSX/TSX.

Typed components is 200% of why I'm writing React these days. Angular has typed components too (they went in on TypeScript early), but the Angular Language Service / IDE integration didn't come to later-- so for a period, no intellisense.

But having intellisense while writing TSX is so wonderful, especially when you're working with complex or deeply nested object structures.
You can use vue-class-component and vue-property-decorator as described here:

https://class-component.vuejs.org/

You get to define your components as classes with their methods and properties, and can declare props and watchers via decorators. Overall a good typescript experience.
I watched the whole thing and I don't understand how you arrived at him having a growing pessimism for the future of VR?

I had the opposite impression. He did seem to care about VR as a general purpose system (alternative to traditional monitors), even if it's not quite there yet, both due to hardware and software limitations. He also seemed proud that they were actually shipping stuff.

Lesser genetic diversity is always bad for survival: with clonal species like the bananas we cultivate, for instance, a single pathogen can endanger the whole population.

The less diverse the population, the less likely timely mutations will help protect it. Incidentally, our modern society is pretty diverse, especially as we protect those who couldn't otherwise survive without modern medicine.

I beat Google ReCaptcha, this is my Captcha: Touch and I-am-not-a-Racist Captcha
Over two weeks ago I announced I beat Google's Recaptcha using AWS Rekognition (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24271979) and I mentioned I did it because I designed my own Captcha but I didn't more details.

Well, here is the full story: my new Captcha will detect whether you are human based on how you play and lose a twisted game of "follow the dots." It exploits the limitations of visual focus. It is a very simple game, perhaps the simplest of games, but it is hard. I made an actual game version you can try for free(https://apps.apple.com/us/app/two-finger-game/id1526964426?ign-mpt=uo%3D2)

These days the biggest problem are not just bots, but people who use the Internet to spread hate so I created this idea of an anti-hate captcha that forces racist and ass*s to acknowledge that everyone is equal using images of people of all races generated with a Generative Adversarial network. It just sends a message and should also be able to block those who refuse to solve the anti-hate Captcha

Everyone serious about gaming is going to have a console too.

Most AAAAs are exclusive to consoles for a year or more (GTA V, RDR 2, FF7RM, Bloodborne, and many others). Even if you had the most tweaked out PC you'd still be waiting for some of the latest and hottest to get ported.

There is only a single source that can determine if it was the Russians that hackced the DNC: CrowdStrike. The servers were never made available to any government body or intelligence agency. The entirety of this narrative falls under the opinion of potentially a single unnamed, unaccountable person at some security consultancy. A single person who is working for a consultancy getting paid millions of dollars to serve a customer, and to make that customer happy, and to potentially deliver results that the customer wants.

Additionally, CrowdStrike admitted in sworn testimony that it didn't have any concrete proof. That their findings were based on appearances and estimations and assumptions.
