while another insulted a female politician online

The list of countries where you can be arrested for insulting a politician is generally not good company. It is generally fascinating, however, to watch us hit this end of the horseshoe.

> Nuclear powered ION engines however would be ejecting far more of their reaction mass of say xenon per KG of fuel that leftover fuel is basically irrelevant.

Wait, if that is true, then the ION engine has a lower ISP than direct explosions, not higher. Unless the reactor is orders of magnitude more efficient than the bombs.
There's no receipt if it's a bank, for example.
With corresponding higher amount of people to do the cabling. (Which is still irrelevant, nobody complains about the lack of gigabit ISPs in the Rockies or the Wyoming countryside, they complain that you can't get it in coastal or midwestern suburbia where the vast majority of Americans live.
Ah yeah, that confused a lot of people. It's just me at the moment. Planning to scale up a little bit next year once I have a solid plan of how to get to product-market fit.
I get your point, but there’s still plenty of web-related concerns that don’t go away when you’re using React. Many aspects of accessibility, layout and styling, browser compatibility, performance, security, and more are largely unchanged whether you’re developing a React web app or a static HTML+CSS site.

Any time you encounter a website where the back button doesn’t work, or with a “link” that works when you click it but can’t be right-clicked to open in a new tab, that’s probably the work of a React dev who falsely believes they are not a web dev!

My sense is that the folks buying $2M+ homes in the Bay Area or $1M+ homes in Tahoe have enough money in the bank that they could just rebuild in cash on the off chance that their home gets burned down. At that price point you're largely paying for the land. Cheap structures (which abound in Tahoe) can be built for ~$250K, while even a really fancy 4000+ square foot mansion in Los Altos can be built for < $1M. Most of the mid-level FAANG employees and ex-startup/growth folks easily have that much in liquid assets.

This article is way too sanguine about this. Scientists putting forth a hypothesis, getting peer reviewed, getting published, and then having others fail to replicate their findings is absolutely a normal part of science.

However, touting very surprising, very unsure results using the megaphone of media, is not science. It is clickbait. It is BS. And it is intensely damaging to science.

What happens is there is a selection effect. The most surprising findings are the ones that are most likely to be touted by the media. However, the most surprising results are the most likely to be wrong. So over time, you end up with the result that much of the "science" touted by the mainstream media ends up being wrong.

And we cannot just blame this phenomenon on the media. Many times it is the institutions that are supporting the research that are contacting the media and putting out press releases and getting on twitter with very clickbaity summaries of the research.

It is great for the scientist. It makes them famous for a day. And as with most stories, the original story gets a lot more play than the correction.

However, it is very damaging to our society. The regular person sees science as a stream of exciting results that are later proven wrong. All the while people are shouting, "This is fine, because this is how science works." And it damages trust.

Imagine if you went to your doctor for a routine blood test and the doctor came back and said, "You have an elevated white blood cell count. This could mean you have cancer." Then a couple of days later, you got called back in to be told, "Well actually, the count was increased because you likely had a cold. But this is how medicine works. One test can suggest something, but different tests can give a different explanation."

If this scenario happened on a regular basis, your confidence in medicine would really be messed up.

If we present science as this ever changing, always being proven wrong entity, then how can we ask people to depend on "science" and make potentially very expensive and inconvenient adjustments to their lives such as with COVID or climate change?
Imagine a smaller less developed religious country having a viral video of their religious leader having sex with another man.

It can be used to destabilize small countries rapidly to provoke a ethnic or religious conflict. In conjunction with other tactics and a prepared military effort.

Imagine if ISIS did this to Assad just before their main offensive? Or if Hezbollah did it to the Prime Minister or Lebanon before a renewed military offensive? Or if China did it to the mayor of Hong Kong just before sending in troops.

It has a lot of potential when used together with other tactics.

> You'd be constantly fighting the type checker for memory issues.

I think you mean borrow checker for ownership issues...

> why doesn't Haskell take the same route as Rust and ditch its garbage collector?

The Rust language was designed in a way (with ownership) that doesn't need a GC, while Haskell have many different properties (such as lazy evaluate everything) that I don't think would work well without a GC.

The borrow checker is usually a nuisance when you're writing highly mutable code, which isn't a problem for functional code. If you need to store the same data in multiple structures, the sibling is right, .clone() and .to_owned() will usually fix your problem with a very small overhead.

However, significantly more accepted it, and used it.

There were several breakthrough innovations. The other one was unidirectional data flow. For some reason, you oppose it.

> > its original API of `React.createClass` was really no different from hundreds of similar APIs.

> Yes, this is the API that I am talking about.

1. This API is nowhere even close to "provide classes, the whole bells and whistles."

2. This API was very similar to nearly every other API that existed at the time

> There was never a need to combine state handling into the first virtual DOM engine.

Why? Why wasn't the need there? What value its absence would bring?

You are complaining now that "Some people even throw Redux at the junior programmer at the same time". And Redux exists precisely because React doesn't provide a solution in this space.

Now imagine if React only released the DOM diffing library. How many Reduxes there would be trying to fix the actual rendering of data? You would complain now that "Some people even throw <rendering> and Redux and novice programmers".

The beauty and simplicity of React was that it very neatly solved the rendering and re-rendering of data in very few concepts that you could learn in under an hour.

> If there are hundreds of similar APIs, why create another one?

Because those different APIs work in the context of a different framework with completely different semantics

> Why not let the developer choose their own favourite Class implementation?

There were no classes. React was released before classes where even standardised in the language. There were non "favorite class implementations". All these APIs where doing an equivalent of `Object.extend`. But since they needed to do different things, they provided different APIs.

Why is it so hard to understand?

- Backbone has Backbone.Collection.extend({...})

- Knockout has ko.components.register('...', {...})

- Ember had DS.Model.extend({...})

- React had React.createClass({...})

They are all similar APIs in the sense that they extend some objects with custom definitions for specific parts of the API. APIs that are specific to the frameworks that define them.

What "favorite class implementation" are you even talking about?

> Some people (such as myself) try to distance themselves from OOP as much as possible, so the class API was quite worthless.

You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
Since the topic touches law, it's more complex to some people than you might think. To us it's obvious, but someone else might think that they better be safe than sorry and not get sued for accidentally setting a (non-essential) cookie somewhere without letting the user know. I definitely know some people who'd rather implement such "unnecessary" things than exposing themselves to a potential legal trap.

I got my company's HP9000 workstation after they dumped all that for x86 and Linux. It was fully decked-out, very heavy and was so loud I eventually had to get rid of it. Fun times – I learned assembler on it. Later I got one of the faster UltraSpac-II workstations. It was pretty cool that you could drop into the OpenFirmware and pretend to be a Forth programmer whenever you liked.

Sorry maybe I wasn't clear - it is a mechanical system with gear ratios directly coupled from the wheel to the engine. The maximum RPM of the engine, propagated through the lowest gear ratio, gives a hard limit regardless of the "real world" variables like wind resistance and friction.

The point was really if the mechanical system can only "turn" to a maximum theoretical speed of e.g. 300mph, then they clearly and obviously didn't exceed it, no matter what, unless the car transforms into an airplane at some point.
Sun/Solaris peaked with the dot-com boom. They did put the dot in dot-com, after all. Linux was often seen as too immature, so many startups (at least the ones I am personally familiar with...) went with Sun hardware.

By the late 00's, Linux was much more solid and Sun didn't stand a chance.
One question I have, since the JVM, Flash VM, and also Javascript VM seems to have occasional security issues - how confident are we that rustc bugs wont undermine the security of correctly written rust programs?

Getting ridiculed early on and then quickly becoming by far the most prominent and popular library in your category doesn’t sound so bad. It’s not something I would criticize React for.
Everyone's talking about EU law
It wasn't too subtle. It was a bad comparison.
I don't see anything on that page given as a percentage of GDP, just percentage of federal budget, and inflation adjusted. And while the inflation adjusted numbers have been on the decrease since the early 90s (when shuttle production ramped down) they are still a little higher than they were in the 70s.

I'd love to see NASA's budget increased, but not now - it would just get funneled into dead-end pork projects like SLS. I'd much rather wait till Starship is successfully operating (New Glenn would be a plus), and it is political viable to end the SLS entirely, and redirect all that money and some into missions (both science and exploration) rather than hardware development.

Or to put it another way, it isn't worth it to me to spend 1960's era money if we are only going to get 1960's era results. If we ever want to move on to bigger things in space, like colonization, we can't just throw money at the problem, we need to find ways to bring the cost down first.
Its useless. Most of the time Earth is closer to the Voyager spacecraft than Pluto (or Saturn or...) is! In addition, we can build and maintain much better equipment here on Earth than we can ship to Pluto.

If you wanted to do this "for real", the better option is to send a train of repeaters after the Voyager spacecraft in roughly the same flightpath. More effective, and vastly easier.

Small correction, but the video in the main post was indeed created by a production studio of deep fake artists.

From the NY Times article:

> The “Sassy Justice” creators said they had spent “millions” of dollars to make the video, including the initial investments to produce the halted movie and set up the Deep Voodoo studio, though they declined to specify the exact cost. “It’s probably the single most expensive YouTube video ever made,” Parker said.

They should have AMT for companies like they do for people. After all, corporations are people too!

The mechanics would be different, of course, as e.g. the whole point of AMT is to disallow some deductions, and many businesses would be bankrupt without (totally reasonable) deductions.

The problem in collecting these taxes is not the ability to do so, it is rather the will to do so.

Is lock-in that big of a concern for people who are using serverless? I have no direct experience here, but my understanding was that all the major serverless platforms are built on proprietary APIs.

We hit them with our CI processes. Actually, I was a bit surprised that it happened because we only do 10-15 builds a day which shouldn't have triggered the throttle. Maybe there are some background checks that are happening in CircleCI that we don't know about or something.
Reminds me of the case of Mark Meechan a.k.a. Count Dankula:

>Mark Meechan, 30, recorded his girlfriend's pug, Buddha, responding to statements such as "Sieg Heil" by raising its paw.

>The clip was viewed more than three million times on YouTube.

>Meechan, of Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, was sentenced at Airdrie Sheriff Court after being found guilty of committing a hate crime last month.

>He had denied any wrong-doing and insisted he made the video, which was posted in April 2016, to annoy his girlfriend.

>But Sheriff Derek O'Carroll found him guilty of a charge under the Communications Act that he posted a video on social media and YouTube which was grossly offensive because it was "anti-Semitic and racist in nature" and was aggravated by religious prejudice.

Cases like these are an absolute waste of the police and prosecutor's time, in my American opinion.

As a free-speech absolutist, while I have nothing but sympathy for the poor folks that were caught up in this, I can't help but see a silver lining here. The reason truly anonymous communication like Freenet, I2P and Tor never really caught on with the mainstream is because too many people bought into the "I have nothing to hide, so I have nothing to fear". Untraceable communication is technically feasible, but it requires a critical mass. This sort of thing might provide the kick-in-the-pants that the larger populace needs to finally take anonymity seriously.
And they're configured to redownload it every single time? No local caching whatsoever?
This is why we need free speech reform throughout europe to match the american standards. Freedom of expression (nonviolent) cuts both ways and raids like these are contemptible. Unfortunately germany leads this anti free speech stance and they re not likely to change.

Large teams/communities can build good software but I'd argue that great software is created by small teams and by massively talented and motivated individuals. Those are the contexts where people are more open to seeing beyond the incremental improvements towards new paradigms and previously unimagined possibilities.

Dark definitely is ambitious and you're entitled to be skeptical. Personally, I'm really glad this isn't just a fancy IDE on top of a conventional stack. I think we should be doing everything we can to support loonshots and crazy new ideas like this because these are the kinds of things that could change the game for all of us.
The US is spending $9 billion on a COVID19 vaccine. ITER is expected to cost around $65 billion total. Fusion is just a REALLY hard nut to crack. I think estimates put research costs on the order of $5-10 trillion dollars. That's with no guarantee of positive results either. It could be as much as $30 trillion dollars before we see commercially viable reactors.

For that amount of money we can tap the planet's mantle for geothermal energy, build liquid salt thorium reactors, and pay for everyone's health care with some left over to fund a nice 6th generation fighter jet.

Fusion energy is a worthy goal for humanity. However, barring some synergistic results from super conduction and plasma research causing a spot breakthrough, I doubt we will see commercial fusion this century.
I've been a (sometimes leading) member of multiple groups with "counter bad speech with good speech" ideals and have often wondered whether it really is the best way. As time goes on it feels ever more futile? I guess the groups are still around, so it's not impossible.

I found myself rewatching "Hated in the Nation" recently which gave me shivers. Obviously we're not there yet but I feel there's an argument to be made that "targets" lose livelihoods these days, not lives? Somehow I doubt the "twist" will ever come close to reality.
If everything is just run as a canvas then you also loose everything that is good about a platform like accessibility, index-ability (at least on the web), integration with platform tools like copy, selecting text and so, so much more.

I can see canvas rendering as a good target for games and for individual components such as a drawing surface or a chart but using it for a whole app is just throwing out the baby with the bathwater.
Yes but if you do the "obvious" thing of adding a maximum price then not only did you fail to accomplish anything (messing with prices doesn't create more masks out of thin air), you even declared the problem solved so nobody else can attempt a solution!
