The only concern I generally have with microphones for the vast majority of my life is music. Only recently have I concerned myself with the sound quality of online meetings. :) Meaning I'm not the best to ask, but maybe better than anyone else you know. But again, I think anything that's wired with microphone that doesn't have to deal with what comes out of speakers (feedback) is going to be a big improvement, even headsets. And moving around is a factor, as I'm leashed to my desk (though with a long enough headphone cable extension that I can work the resistance bands during long meetings). If I were worried about background noise, I could switch to a dynamic microphone.

Anyway, if you've got a headset you're happy with and no one complains, I'd just use that if it were me. Again, I've got the "good stuff" lying around already, so I just use that. I would not recommend anyone else go that road unless they have other uses for the gear.

a completely different story:

when steam engines were replaced with the otto motor and cars became available to the general population, people were able to repair and understand the engines themselves. they had an understanding of mechanical principles. a few generations later, and only car nerds understand cars.

everyone else has to go to a mechanic to understand why their car's engine won't start or why it sounds so strange. and those weird mechanics will fix the car for them.

nowadays people are mechanically illiterate.

/s

my point is, when a technology becomes convenient enough so we don't have to think about it while it fulfills it's purpose, then you don't have to understand it to use it.

this creates the need for specialists. is that a bad thing? i say no. who defines what should be basic knowledge and what not? we don't all need to be a mechanic, a chemist, a doctor and an ITC pro.
> Think historically - would you really want the tyranny of the majority in the 1960s? 1920s? It's my opinion that minorities deserve a place at the table.

Do you think we didn't have that? It took a LOT of protesting and lobbying and effort to get changes made in the US, more than in many other nations which, say, didn't need civil wars to end slavery.

We had to change the majority to get those things, and while it's sad that the majority didn't move faster (and that's a different problem), now we have problems created by groups that can't even command a majority of the population being able to set policy.
The author makes it pretty clear this isn't a comparison of ARM vs. x86 but with the specs being nearly identical, I'm finding it very hard not to draw that conclusion. The difference is even larger when you factor in the cost difference.

Are there other factors that could explain the large performance gap?
You don’t need to ask a GP for blood work, just order it online and go to the lab, then get your results via the lab’s portal (e.g. Quest).

I’m not sure these tests are good for diagnosing triggers though, compared to quarterly or biannual management of a disease (to make sure you’re not headed off the rails). The range for CRP, for instance, is relatively broad. What’s serious is when you’re exceeding the reference high.

In these cases (like maxed out SED rate) chronic inflammation is a thing and more than “feeling bad”. It does lasting damage so the quicker you can respond to it the better, and IME that kind of inflammation sneaks up on a person and often goes undiagnosed until other downstream problems start to present themselves.

There’s a bit of fashion to talking about “cytokine storms” and inflammation that is partly healthy to be aware of (and interesting to the seriously curious) but also a lot of faddish health nuttery lately. Be careful of the snake oil salesmen out there, folks.

Diets, supplements, exercise equipment, OTC meds, are as often nets to harvest disposable income more than they are serious approaches to managing disease.

For people suffering autoimmune disorders, much can be done with simple balanced diets and regular low stress body weight exercising. The key is avoiding things like excessive drinking, high mental stress levels, sleep dep. All the good advice for Puritan living that really applies to all of us, just that they have far, far lower tolerances for deviation. Response to NSAIDs may indicate what you’re fighting but if you’re there you’ve already failed upstream from where you are now. Chronic NSAID use isn’t all that great either but is often an unavoidable supplement for those trying to hold a normal career these days. This kind of internal feedback loop is more cost effective and probably more accurate for behavior correction than looking at daily blood work.

Exactly - I once used a more full stack provider, and we checked to make sure their stack was open source for key areas we spent time on, so if we wanted to switch to another HOSTED provider, all our config files, etc etc would still work - but the other providers also HOSTED this software - that wasn't considered a violation by anyone. This was before the days of the mega providers like AWS - where now I think you just have to accept lock-in - but AWS has never raised rates so it's not as scary as doing an oracle lock-in as an example.
> they are terrible for long distance cross-country drives as you have to wait for hours for it to charge

That's mostly untrue. I use to drive from Atlanta to Jelico and back a couple times a year and in my Model 3 it added probably 20-30 minutes to the trip time compared to an ICE vehicle.

The rate at which an EV charges slows down as the battery gets closer to 100%. The time to charge an EV from 5-55% is faster than the time to charge from 55-100%. If you only charge up to 80% or 90% you will cut a significant amount of time off your charge times. The Tesla trip planner will plan routes with this in mind automatically.

We moved cross country last year (~2200 miles) from GA to CA and it took us 4 days. I drove a diesel box truck and my partner drove the Model 3, we took the same route but didn't stick together. We stopped at the same overnight stops and our arrival departure times were with in 30 minutes of one another.

What you don't realize on long road trips is that stops for fuel rarely consist of just filling up. You use the restroom, stretch, buy a snack, etc. That all adds up to 15-25 minute stops, where as the Model 3 would stop to charge for 20-30 minutes.

The alternative to search snippets is a world where I have to be bombarded with cookie consent popups and advertisement and then scroll through paragraphs of nonsense to get the two word answer to a trivial question. Google adds enormous value in synthesizing this information and presenting it only when it is relevant.

> I pay my ISP for bandwidth. WHAT I choose to download with that bandwidth has no impact on their bottom line

This isn't true in reality. For example, it's significantly more expensive to deliver video traffic from say, my computer to yours, than it would be to deliver from Netflix to your computer.

If you're using Linux, the only thing to be sure of is that the device is described as either (1) "class compliant" or (2) "works on iPads" or (3) both. Linux users have much to be grateful towards the iPad for, in particular the ban on drivers meant that USB audio interface makers really had to get their act together to ensure that their devices worked with a generic USB audio driver (just like the one on Linux).

You're making many assumptions here.

1st, you're assuming people can charge at home - assuming they have a garage and access to power. This isn't true for a huge portion of the population.

> Replace people with people in general, and reread - maybe you don't qualify, maybe you do - people's self-awareness and ability to orient is pretty bad in general too when it comes to health. However you've done nothing to prove your point other than taking what I said literally and taking offense to it, instead of arguing the point as to if my point has merit or not.

A) You're clearly not writing nor addressing anything in this thread that is germane to carbon capture, spaceflight, Mr. Musk, or any other aspect of the article.

B) The simple fact that you're talking about me and my relationship to my peers and family is evidence that you have focused the conversation on the qualities of a speaker rather than the merits of his speech. Please re-evaluate the thread and see how you arrived at this juncture.
And thus we arrive at the underlying problem. How about we address the root instead of the symptoms?
I never recall it doing that, you may be thinking of the `package-lock.json` which does get created still. It basically creates/records hashes of the packages that get installed when `npm install` runs. Shouldn't always be changes there but depending on how version flags are set in `package.json` an `npm install` could create new `package-lock.json` values if there's a newer version in the repo that gets upgraded/installed.
Unsatisfying read. It wasn't React's fault. PM was looking for blood. Dumping a bunch of devs who have little experience with the tech onto the project. Little notion of process and conventions for the app. Only reason I'm commenting is that the three questions posed by the CTO are entirely valid questions and I wished they'd been answered.
Well said. I went through the whole article and it just seems to me that instead of asking .NET devs to build a react app, you could have just hired react devs and none of the problems would've existed. Or have the entire team go through a proper react bootcamp. As a dev, I can say for sure, devs not learning new things and keeping up to date are the worst. The ones you need are the ones who try new things and then create solutions that are best fit for the problem with a rational mindset. Pretty much everything else will slow your development eventually, be it react or something else.
It used to do XMPP federation too; they might still be exposing XMPP C2S but federation is long gone.

Fun fact: if you were on a non-Google server talking to someone on Google Talk and they clicked the button to "upgrade" to Hangouts, on your end they would show up as perpetually "away" and any messages you sent them would be blackholed. Yes, that was as frustrating as it sounds.
No, Linux. I think I have found out how to use gphoto2 and a direct usb link instead of the capture card, which may fix it, but that'll have to run on my main computer, not my slow laptop.

I'd love to be able to tell the v4l driver for the usb capture card to just not offer the 640*480 resolution. That would fix it in a better way. Anyone have any ideas how to do that?
This is again so dismissive of the author. He seems to have a substantial amount of experience with React. He isn't just some noob who jumped on some bandwagon and picked the latest sexiest thing for reasons. If anything, the entire team seemed to do far more due diligence in decision making than pretty much 90% of the move-fast and break things (TM) SV startups.

> It's a feature, not a bug.

Yes, a small, light-weight framework can be a good thing. No one called it a bug. But like everything in life, there are trade-offs involved. And I'm not entirely convinced that it is a good tradeoff in the crazy JS ecosystem where everything is changing and breaking all the time, especially if you are building more complex things and don't have an army of web-devs to keep the house of cards from falling down.

Elaborate on Telegram being "very shady", please? With links, if possible.
That was a very interesting read and described a lot of interesting, very valid, and very realistic challenges that I could see myself running into in a similar situation. However I don't agree with the conclusion that React shouldn't be recommended for enterprise... instead I found myself thinking, gee, there just happen to be other mindsets, skillsets, management styles, and general ways of doing things, and they collided poorly here. Enjoyed reading this but a bit offput by the FUDdy punchline.
Thanks. I was about to try to make a similar point, but couldn't quite find the words and saw this when I refreshed.
Starlink is going to make low-cost internet connectivity ubiquitous. Though I would agree that we don't need to say "Elon Musk SpaceX" every time we bring up SpaceX. In fact, I'd rather we just leave him out of the conversation since he's mostly embarrassing.
I did, and understand your frustration with my comment (I've been in a similar startup before and I empathize with the denial). Here are a few pointers to help as a litmus test, that I wish I had back then:

- How many self serve customers have built a business on top of your platform? (this is where good documentation helps)

- Is your leadership excessively concerned about the branding and how the company comes across, or do they actually talk to customers and developers?

- Have the founders raised excessive capital relative to business maturity?

- Is there cultish behaviour, where bad decisions are not questioned? how vulnerable is the broader leadership?

- Where do engineers spend their time? Making cool stuff or building towards clear customer outcomes?

As I said, genuinely friendly comment. I really hope I am wrong, but sharing as someone who has gone through something similar who was triggered after I saw this.

All the best, hope this takes off!
Sure, but we use relatively dangerous liquid fuel transports to deliver that 5Mj to the stations, which manage to fit (albeit with some real risk) onto regular roads.

You can't deliver that kind of power to a charging station easily based on the electrical infrastructure we currently have.

At least this my understanding.
The Greens actually had little parliamentary influence then: the CDU could have counted on the support of their coalition partners, the pro-nuclear FDP, at the time. Merkel went with massive anti-nuclear sentiment post-Fukushima to pass legislation with over 80% Bundestag support to phase out nuclear power.
Accounting, transaction reversibility, and taxation.

In real life if you want to give somebody a dime, you just do it. But online you have to query your account to make sure you have enough money to make the payment, reserve the funds so the payment can go through without stopping other pending transactions, pass it the amount through some infrastructure where you can dispute the charge at a later date (if needed), and you also have to make sure the government is able to track your transactions for tax and anti-money laundering purposes.

For Amazon it's a different situation because they're charging you for a service based on usage. They have given you an account number and they handle all the accounting on their end. It's not a general payments system.

> Why did someone decide for that specific case and not the numerous others by ex. Twitter that are still there.

1.) Twitter was not there and is not there yet. They will be there tho.

2.) Twitter was literally closing accounts and deleting tweets that called for violence. There was quite a lot of complaining where twitter done it in ambiguous situations. Twitter was not perfect. But twitter was definitely at least trying. Twitter would not had issue to delete clear calls for violence that Amazon would point to them for weeks - the way Parler acted.

The fact is, it is simply not true that twitter would be acting as parler regarding censorship of calls for violence. In fact, it is a lie.

Parler did not done even token pretend you are trying to effort. Twitter does much more then that.

3.) Parler is not little guy, they have Mercer money.
ironically, what you describe today happened because those central points were the ones producing the content (portals) that everyone wanted.

Now that users produce the content, they kept the distribution and revenue model (i.e. you go to the central places and they sell you to advertisers) but they have zero cost for content since everyone is a producer and consumer, which was the use case for the non-centralized portals in the first place.

Good point. Imagine the developers of Postgres or Mongo would do CD to your database.

IMO, the idea of CD only works for companies that control the production environment and basically offer a service, not a product. If that's you, you may get a great deal out of CD.

But if you have a product and if that product manages your customer's data, is integrated with your customer's scripts, and runs on an environment that you don't completely control, you better think twice before permanently updating the system. You can still do it, but it will be expensive to get it right.

> React now looks completely different from React from 1-2 years ago. Libraries fall in and out of favor.

Is that true? Can you give me an example of what you're thinking of? I've used React since pretty much the beginning and the only "completely different" looks I can recall is class-based components -> functional components + hooks. And even that evolution was pretty comfortable and backwards-compatible.

I gave it an honest try this morning. Managed to get Facebook and Slack integrated. The Mattermost plugin did not work, and is not actively maintained.

In the end I did not like the experience. inline images/web-previews, etc were not enabled (possible by plugin?), ui was a bit clunky and disorganized. Not sure if that is pidgin or the plugins fault.
