Ah yea I haven't run into the state restoration thing. Fabric[0] is fairly exciting though, and seems like it will have a sync API.

I think they've improved quite a bit on animations, the Animated library has worked well for me with PanResponder, I was able to get a pretty complex bottom drawer interaction working (much like Apple Maps) where you need to handle bubbling events with multiple nested scrollable areas and dragging that inits only when scrolled to top, etc, all came together very smoothly. In SwiftUI it was a similar API, but far more work to get to behave and in the end I was doing some hacky stuff to get it finally fully behaving. Granted, SwiftUI is early stage, so perhaps in a year or so it will also have figured all this out.

As for testing, we've tested on a $100 two year old Android device with success, but nothing truly old.

Why is it bizarre and inhuman?

A maid working in Singapore will earn 3-4x what she will make in Indonesia with generally better working conditions.

In addition because expenses are minimal (food+accommodation provided) you can save in 3-5 years what a typical lower class family living in Indonesia will save over 20.

I don't know how far you are into your career, but think about the people you have worked with that you would like to work with again. Then, think about the people you would avoid working with again at all costs.

Now, think about the people you would hire to work for you, and the people you wouldn't even give an interview to.

The people you don't enjoy working with - what side of the equation do they fall on? Some of them will be because they are incompetent, and some of them will be because they are terrible people.

Now what about about the people you did enjoy working with? What side of the equation are they on? Some of them will be because they were great at their jobs and some of them will be cause they are great people. I'm willing to bet that the vast majority are both competent and people that you enjoy being around. I'm also willing to bet that the people you would be happy to work with again, are genuine in the way they treat other people. The "Fake Niceness" is easy to sniff out.

As always, YMMV.

I saw this in my inbox today too. I remember being very excited by IFTTT early in its existence but it never quite became the "universal plumbing" solution in my life. Now that I think about it Shortcuts on Apple is something I was very excited about but have found very little utility for.

> The film is absolutely critical of the pointlessness of the war. Its most famous scene is of the PLA getting slaughtered in an ambush.

That description seems like description of any war movie in general. While you are right about not everything has to be a documentary, my example was related to critical content like that.

To give an example which would be possibly more clear is, look at the current protests in HK. Do media in PRC cover the HKers side fairly on what they are demanding, the magnitude of ground support for the movement in HK, the excesses committed by the HK police daily? Contrast this with BLM protests where most coverage is anti establishment.

Calorie restriction during childhood has catastrophic effects on health, height, cognitive ability, and general mortality. Many of the detrimental effects are permanent, and calorie loss during childhood also explains a lot of the childhood fatalities during the Middle Ages, as a hungry person is much more likely to succumb from disease or a mid-level injury.

So, it depends on what you mean by “youth”. If you include anything below the 20s or so, then the answer is a strong, emphatic no.

Using a language on Windows that is intended for writing software for Apple products is as ridiculous as using C# on macOS.
That's really helpful to hear, thanks for the examples. I definitely agree that there's potential for supporting use cases beyond just simple work tracking, and into more advanced workflows, and I'm hoping that we'll be able to make Tables useful for some of those use cases in the future too.

Thanks for the kind words, and I hope Tables will help people and businesses in positive ways as well! From my perspective, we just want to offer a decent option for users who want to track team work within the Google ecosystem, especially during this time with covid forcing many businesses to digitize and work remotely.

Thanks for sharing those use cases and we'll take that feedback on the limits back to the team.
Out of curiosity, why do you prefer JSX to nesting functions? I understand that for HTML you want to meet developers where they are, but that doesn't necessarily apply to other use cases...

Nice

I worked on a Pdf with inbuilt tracking solution that updated the form layout using ActionScript based on the workflow status and the role of the user (ie the line manager had a different group of fields in the form to complete like their signature while viewing what the initial requestor had entered) Lots of callbacks to the server saving in progress data and updating the status of who had the form, who was next based on department and emailing it to that person if it passed validation.

An initial fun discovery was that you could force the form to download and replace itself with the latest version even if they had just opened some old file they had on their pc.
It's open source. Don't blame the developers that cannot read Cyrillic or Japanese. Blame those who can read it but don't contribute.

I think the phrase you extracted seems a bit misleading. Only accepting patches from known maintainers is actually a perfectly valid way to operate in my opinion. It's not like it is not maintained anymore.

Social pressure can play a role in the demise of regional accents.

As someone who grew up in Appalachia, there are certain biases that come with that accent. It's is one of the reasons some professionals from the region try very hard to "talk normally." There is even training you can undergo to lose your accent.

I learned early in my career that people make certain assumptions about you based on your accent. Over the years I have unconsciously developed a "public speaking accent" that is quite a bit different from how I normally talk. I've been told I sound generically Midwestern when traveling or giving a conference presentation (one person even said Canadian.) I didn't even realize I was doing it until one conference when someone pointed it out to me at a bar-track later in the evening.
That's a fair distinction. Maybe it would be better to say it's far left backlash.
I'm torn between it probably being a good thing to have some more competition if Facebook's market dominance were lessened, but also wondering how it can be replaced.

If they were to pull out of Europe (which I can't see happening), then who would replace them - you would have to either be a Euro-only social network or just a more privacy focussed global social network, both of which have questionable profitability I imagine.
Caloric restriction (beyond staying at a healthy weight) has never been shown to actually extend the lifespan of humans, or any primate.
I agree with the subtitle, there's a lot of bad and deprecated software in the medical industry. The comparison between climate modeling using Fortran and shiny IDEs with easy to use interfaces is completely wrong though.
Climate modeling, like most compute intensive fields, uses Fortran because it's fast and that's what the software needs to be. It doesn't need a shiny interface because all its meant to do is take in a set of numbers and produce another set of numbers as efficiently as possible. There's is no need for a front-end or for user interactions.

It's like saying that a road bike is "bad" because it isn't as comfortable as your city bike. Different beasts for different needs.
A recent study[0] found that the Republican party is three times worse than the Democrats in terms of respecting the norms, principles, and practices of democratic countries. (The data was based on a survey of 2000 experts from around the world.)

I'm not saying this proves that the Democrats are better, but I do think it's too simplistic to say that every single party in the world is exactly as corrupt/authoritarian as every other party in the world.

Potentially misunderstanding the question here, but what would it mean for the react team to not be employed by FB? FB owns the repo, and so short of someone forking it and the community deciding the fork is the new source of Truth the react team will always be at FB, right? Or am I misunderstanding the question?
My experience with simplicity is that it requires greater effort. Simple is not easy.

As such, people dedicated to the task of effort avoidance will find a way to avoid increased simplicity. The justifications and qualifiers are creative and elaborate often themselves taking great effort, often greater effort than that they originally sought to avoid. I see this behavior repeated so frequently in software and with such profound conviction.

A brief example is a single method call from a language or platform supplied API used to solve a problem instead of the entirety of a large framework. The heresy of such a disgusting travesty.
I regret using the term toy. Please forgive me :) From my perspective I just can't see investing my precious time in a commercial tool.
Short in span, but about 30k deaths in those 3 weeks and being humbled by a much smaller opponent.

> If you would like to make a suggested change, and include a patch as a proof-of-concept, that would be great. However please do not be offended if we rewrite your patch from scratch.

I guess the full picture is, they do not want to have code included in the codebase from random people due to potential copyright issues. The title in my opinion implies that SQLite is not getting any patches.
This is awesome!

Whilst we were in lockdown the first time, I wrote a small Logo interpreter for my son with almost exactly the same commands: https://freememory.github.io/azlogo/ (https://github.com/freememory/azlogo)

My code isn't nearly as elegant, not at all animated, and my parsing is awful but I had a lot of fun doing it.

There's something magical about Logo, and even now as an adult of almost 40 I continue to enjoy playing with it and making pretty line graphics.
They never do. And the person they are downvoting is much too polite to point it out!
> It’s ironic that you think any political party is above doing every last possible thing to win.

Political parties don't do anything, people in them do. The people in those parties, for the most part, do indeed have limits to what they will do to win. The ones that don't are sociopaths who unfortunately sometimes amass undeserved power. But I see no evidence for the kind of universal assertion of amorality you're making here.

> No political party anywhere on earth has principles above getting elected.

That just treats politics as some kind of nihilistic team sport, which I reject and it's unsupported by any evidence. Parties have platforms. According to https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/trust-us-politicians-ke... politicians do try to keep most of their platform promises.

> If you believe the democrats are any better, perhaps research machine politics.

I don't understand your point here. It appears that you're defending Republicans doing... something? By saying that the Democrats did... something?

> It is a naked power struggle from top to bottom on all sides.

That stance seems in direct contradiction to the enlightenment principles upon which the United States was founded. The peaceful transition of power between opposing parties has been very much a hallmark of the US republic for many decades, and a principle to which most of us adhere.
> So the software people get amazing tools that let them build amazing apps, and the climate people get lots of Fortran.

My guess is this is because of priorities and low hanging fruit. Our economy hasn't priced in climate change but does follow easy money just like the lazy path making rivers crooked. (Ad and gadget money being easier than preserving a habitable world in the face of distant and abstract threats.)

Fortran also has some historical momentum in science.
What are the current applications of these languages? Is there anything besides educational one (I remember we had a class at the middle school).
Nah, it must have been the exorcism of body thetans that kept him looking young.
Also pure test based admission ends up being something around 75% asian, 15% white, and 10% others. See Stuyvesant for example[1]. For some reason Harvard feels like being 75-80% Asian would be bad for their brand so they got sued for discrimination. But Harvard is Harvard and it's hard to win a lawsuit against an institution that is that well connected.

Isn’t Joe Rohan a libertarian rather than a liberal? The article lost me on that in the very beginning. Not saying anything against Rogan (or for Rogan for that matter), but I’ fairly certain his ideals align with libertarianism, not liberalism.
As someone who uses all three of the editors you named, I think that each serves a pretty different purpose in practice. Each aspires to be the be-all, end-all editor/IDE, but that's just unrealistic to me.

For me, I use VIM all day, every day at work (C++), because while it doesn't have the full IDE experience out of the box, it's close enough, and can be brought much closer with various plugins and knowledgeable adjustments. I've stuck with it because "it just works" and I'm use to it. A previous colleague was a big VIM evangelist, so got a running start from him, and now I've tweaked it enough that it works well for me.

VSCode is my general purpose text editor at home. If I'm writing markdown, or fixing some script, or I just need to see what's in that file, I'll use VSCode. It is the obvious, far superior replacement for Notepad, and has plenty of niceties to make it that much easier to use.

But if I'm building something with a lot of moving parts in one of its supported languages, I'll use IntelliJ. I don't often write Java these days, but PyCharm is just a reskin for Python and I think it's great. It does so much junk for you, and it makes testing and debugging so easy. It does trip up my muscle-memory occasionally, but for the most part it's a powerful tool that's great at what it does.

Just wondering why no one talks about shaving the fat - reducing the budget, lowering costs, being smarter with spend, etc?

Is it like some unwritten rule that the price we pay right now is exactly how much we need to pay for the quality of service we are getting? I know that countries like Taiwan have a 4-10x lower level of income as places like New York City and have the same quality of living. Can't we make the argument, in times of prosperity we all paid ourselves a little too much and now we just need to pay ourselves less? Companies do that all the time - they cut the fat in hard times. Why can't cities and societies do that as well?

Cutting the fat isn't letting poor people starve on the streets. It's an admittance that we feasted during the times of boom, and at that we can't feast at the same level in times of famine, from all levels of society.

Instead, the narrative is always we need to raise taxes, like our over-indulgence, inflated standard of living in times of abundance, and padding our pockets is some sacred right that can never be questioned.
I can understand that concern. But it leaves price changes in the future open (including perhaps making it free at some point) without having to delete and upload an edited video.
