I'm working on a simple state library for React. It will 1) allow you to have a "global" state that doesn't require context [1], and 2) allow you let you set state imperatively [2].

The links below are the two separate parts that I want to combine together so that you can have that imperative state setting apply to all components depending on the generated hooks. That's the easy part.

`useStructure` allows you to have a class that your component uses for state (and be able to use any methods on that class). The hard part will be having async functions on those classes that update your state correctly. Not sure if it's even possible.

There's definitely some truth to that joke.

Though it must be said that global lockdowns could end up doubling world poverty, according to the WHO.

So by trying to mitigate the virus through global lockdowns, we may have inadvertently doubled the size of the most at risk demographic group (aside from the very elderly).
During lockdown I was able to have music jams with high quality uncompressed audio at 10ms (effectively real time), using Jamulus for the audio, and Zoom for the video. Then the whole thing was live streamed to Twitch.
This is the key. The license doesn't say what layers have to be shown. AWS isn't going to open source all of AWS. They'll take their hundreds (probably thousands) of java developers, make a proprietary fork instead.

And it's ES that's forcing AWS to do this.
If you'd install ES via deb or rpm or whatever packages from your Distro, this will affect you, as they will be sooner than later removed.

If there's a policy for open source-only usage, you will definitely be affected.

If there will be a diminished number of contributors (which won't like to contribute if it is not open source) and ecosystem (that will stop developing/growing being a proprietary project), you will be affected too.

And you're not AWS in either them.

If you are gaining 7 pounds in 3 days, I imagine the vast majority is just water weight, which can probably be attributed to the salt levels in the junk food more than anything else.
Genuine question: do you have biscuits, confectionery or ice cream in your home normally?

The most shocking thing to me when I first moved alone was how easy it was too eat a ton of sugar, without realising it till after.

My solution these days is to just ensure its not there, and commit to not getting takeaway (easy if I think about all the money I save).

Even doing all that, I still have habits I need to keep up: eating toast too often is a problem, for example. I've eliminated peanut butter entirely. Don't eat lunch when I'm at a desk job and replace it with just mid afternoon coffee to keep me going.

The human body is stupidly efficient, unfortunately.
I would suggest that quality is much more important than quantity/breadth here. I would use such a service to save me time, but it will only save me time if it's rock solid and very actively maintained. Otherwise I'd much rather just build my own.

>but if they want to bring their car they need to ship it down

This is why the helicopter flights are so popular. They're literally just flying across the border with the shortest possible thing that could be called a flight, because air travel is allowed. And they're getting their car (or more often, RV) towed across the border, because cross-border towing is also allowed. The shortest possible flight means the shortest possible tow.

levels.fyi is not really a good representation of income for even the Bay area, let alone the industry as a whole.

I don't know why people get confused by this; most people working SWE in the bay area will never see a vaunted Levels.fyi equivalent salary (although most of them will exceed national averages for software).

Basing your understanding of software salaries across the industry on levels.fyi is a bit like basing an understanding of national lawyer salaries on a sampling from top NYC corporate law firms.

(NB there is some sprinkling of other useful salary info on levels.fyi, but people focus on the FAANG and similar companies, and the data is much better there)

I used to think so too. But then look at all the recently successful companies that IPOed and mega billion dollar companies. There is absolutely nothing great about their tech or their business model or their intelligence.

Lyft is just smaller uber clone. Doordash is just another food delivery service. Pinterest is just a spammy link aggregation service. Faster and better home sharing services existed before AirBnb (VRBO is more than 10 years older than airbnb). And the list is endless. They are all successful because they got the right network, got the money, early investors, early users from network.

Business models, tech, intelligence, smartness, timing all means jackshit. The only thing that matters is networking (and persistence)
I'm not confusing the two. I don't think "toxic masculinity" is a meaningful concept.

I would agree that following source-changes is better then any writeups if there is time and dedication. I like the culture you describe and it could fit very well with the way I like to do things. I use those “how to” just as quick tutorial to get into the new topics and then I go deeper. It is easier to learn when you actually do something and if there is no person around who can introduce me into the topic properly which is much faster and better of course then I use some “how-to” for that. Writeups can help too so if you know some good ones it’s worth mentioning.

I raise you the slightly hidden world of "tits on toast" from Australia. In regional cities/towns, you can go to certain local pubs early in the day (10AM - 12PM) and get a cheap breakfast served by topless waitresses.

If the waitresses get enough tips, they allegedly remove everything.

The breakfast is usually terrible (cold canned beans on toast with an egg).

It could be that I've blocked ads in my network or my extreme hate for ads lead to have unpopular opinion about it.

Every company uses my data for analytic purposes.
Ads that I do see in google play are almost same as I see in apple store. Both take my data and try to serve me the best. In fact, I don't think it's necessary evil but what bothers me is pretending that one company save my data better or make me believe they don't analyse my data.

Everybody does it, who says it does not analyse your data, he is lying.

You know apple has news-advertising and searchads that is based on iAds[1] ? Trust me, they need your data to work properly!

> It has been some years since I read about the original document leak, but as I recall, she shared documents from her workplace that either had printer steganography ID codes embedded into them (images in a raster scan of a paper document), or some form of digital stego IDs in electronic documents.

All modern printers have this steganography feature.

"In October 2004, consumers first heard of the hidden feature, when it was used by Dutch authorities to track down counterfeiters who had used a Canon color laser printer." [1]

This is written in "PC World" in 2004 by journalist Wilbert de Vries. He now works for Tweakers, back then he worked for Webwereld. 2004 was mid-end heydays of Webwereld. I'm quite sure I read about this technology on Webwereld back then.

Later on, this got covered on CCC as well, not sure which years.

Yes, and your expected return remains the same. Reducing variability isn’t “reducing returns”, because, as you note, what you lose from reducing the 50+nth percentile returns is made up for by increasing the 50-nth percentile returns.

Self-hosted and scalable search engine that indexes every character (not just words) and offers a complex query language (regex, document metadata filtering, etc.)

Core idea is that you can chuck unstructured documents (JSON, Protobuf messages, etc.) into it and perform rudimentary querying/filtering/correlation based on arbitrary fields and values in those documents, without writing a proper DB schema / answering "what will my queries look like?" ahead of time (as you might with Postgres jsonb support for example) and still have substantial portions of your query be indexed.

Example use case: chuck Hacker News comments, Stackoverflow comments, and GitHub issues into it. Then you can search over those and correlate arbitrary metadata across them, e.g. search for some regex that across github issues only where it is referenced elsewhere on HN/SO.

Primarily interesting for exploring/querying across structured documents in complex ways that you can't anticipate before-hand.

Ideas are so cheap and easy.

Implementation is a long hard road. And where you learn your idea was vague enough that it had almost no value. And only through painstaking iteration can you turn it into something with value.
I'd say that similarly to Common Law where rights always come paired with counterpart obligations; the "restrictions" added by GPL vs Apache come with counterpart advantages: they keep forks open source (vs proprietary) and favor contributions feeding back to the OS Community. I believe we should consider them altogether: disadvantages and advantages.

Both permissive and copyleft licenses play important roles in the Open Source ecosystem. Different story are proprietary licenses.
> 411 grams CO₂ … per mile

At first glance I thought that that can't possibly be right.

Some quick calculations for my Toyota Camry (non-hybrid): It gets about 7.8L/100 km, which is 62 miles, which is 126 mL per mile. A litre of petrol produces 2.3 kg of CO2, so that's 290 grams per mile.

Shit. Cars are worse than I thought!
If health has declined and testosterone levels have declined then absent any other information I am going to assume that the decline in testosterone is at best uncorrelated with health.

Any time China accuses another country of some sort of misdeed, just assume they're thinking that everyone acts the same way they themselves do.

You can fill in "pretty much any country" for "China" when it comes to trade disputes like this. The vast majority of between-nation dumping accusations seem to be unfounded or extremely thinly founded -- e.g. US accusing China of solar "dumping" when solar equipment manufacturers get state support by tax credits or low interest loans. US states pay to attract manufacturing too [1].

China can make t-shirts and tea cups cheaper than western producers. This has been known since before China joined the WTO. Objections to China also producing sophisticated goods cheaper seem to be mostly post-hoc regret. They weren't supposed to climb the value chain like that. Our countries were supposed to keep the sophisticated production while they just make trinkets!

I actually think that it is a problem that the western world has lost so much domestic productive capacity, but countering that with hollow accusations of dumping is dishonest. Countries should formally alter trade obligations to reinvigorate domestic production instead of fabricating rationalizations to match the text of old treaties.

>However, most of the downstream refinement of the downstream for actual battery materials actually happens in Korea. So a lot of lithium is mined in West Australia, transported to China and then the Korea/Japan until it is shipped to Nevada where it turns into a battery.

As a formerly obese American, I need to say you are both right.

The food ingredients in this country are, on average, garbage. With careful shopping you can get around this but it does take effort and vigilence.

Cultural expectations around both diet (especially portion size) and exercise (I cite the walking thing a lot too) are also bad. It takes effort to avoid those hazards.

I think both of these and probably a few other factors are a terrible combination that compliment each other in a bad way.
This is 100% my experience. I got hired as a ML engineer to bring a data scientists models into production. I did the same as you by tearing the whole thing apart and engineering it properly. I also look at the models, and oh boy... that data scientist had no idea what he was doing. Couldn't explain why he chose the model, didn't have any performance metrics (or even knew what metric to use to measure the performance) and just generally did not understand the basic concepts of his fields. I had to try really hard to drag answers out of him, but in the end I came out dissatisfied.
