The main effect of terror is destabilisation, which is also what breeds terrorism. Islamic terrorism in Europe turns people against their muslim demographics, and most importantly promotes populism and right-wing politics in general. Those are all pretty auto-destructive things. Some normal reactions to terrorism is to alienate some demographics or to exact revenge on some countries, both of which just create more recruits for the terrorist. It makes sense if you don't take that universal-islamic-state narrative too seriously.

I personally think there's a more interesting point about the United States contained within the Wikipedia article. The concept of various rules, procedures, and laws dependent on celebrity, status, or wealth seems to show up everywhere.

At the courthouse, witnesses would normally remain outside of the room during a citizenship examination, but because Einstein, a celebrity, was involved, and because the judge, Phillip Forman, had administered the oath of citizenship to Einstein, all three men were invited in [0]

These giant monstrosities are really easy to avoid. Redux Actions make locating a state change a breeze. I have worked on giant applications that did not use a redux-like approach to state and it was a horrendous mess.
I totally disagree, people go to work at least partly to get away from friends or family.
Why would X11 on a phone mean Linux? X works on many operating systems, it was never designed specifically for Linux.
I think the co-working space could grow in some really interesting ways. However, in traditional companies the budget for office space tends to be out of the control of normal employees. People will have to choose between the official office or paying out of pocket. I am not sure how many people will want to do that. Giving employees more choice could save lots of money. But only if managers are prepared to lose some control.
Oh yes, also that! My colleague was rather frustrated with apartment repair crew he had to deal with. Everything was handled via phone calls, none of the construction folk kept any papertrail whatsoever on who agreed to what (obviously), as a result >70% of things agreed either were completely forgotten, or mis-implemented, or implemented weeks later than they should have.
It sounds like you are describing co-working spaces that have already existed for a few years. Some are subscription, others are drop in (e.g. if you work from home but want to book a nice room for a meeting). I assume each has their own culture depending on their clientele.
Perhaps this use of “fractal” is technically incorrect, which could spawn another, smaller, yet similar discussion in response...
What perf issue have you spotted with hooks? My biggest bugbear with them is just the sheer cognitive exhaustion that comes with figuring out "when" stuff is happening -- especially if you're implementing a bunch of your own useEffects. I remember just sitting there bemused by the complexity -- and the difficulty of debugging ostensibly simple state changes. I (truly!) miss the good old days of intuitely doing count+=1 in a mess of procedural DHTML... so for that reason alone Svelte is a breath of fresh air.

Work ends when you say goodbye in the chat and switch off the vpn.
I was with you on this topic, and I have rants about this elsewhere.

But with Svelte 3 I actually agree with their choice now:

1. The extra templating syntax is rather small and concise. And explicit.

- There are very few directives, and they follow the same rules: `{# start block }{: alternative branch}{/end block}`

- external data that comes from Javascript is always `{data}`

- properties of html components that can be bound are always `prop:name|modifiers={data}`

This is in contrast to, say, Vue, where the syntax can never decide where it's going.

And compared to React, this isn't Javascript either if we think about it:

{
svelte.each(cats, ({ id, name }) => <p>Hello {name}</p>)
}

That's a specific extension that compiles to Javascript

2. Your work becomes MVC-ish

Your template/html becomes "I have some data, let's display it". And since the template syntax doesn't allow arbitrary logic, you end up collocating transformations of your data with the code that's fetching it. Instead of doing some weird logic inside the template like `data.map.filter.map`

3. But to each their own :)

What really turned me towards Svelte is going through the tutorial and then trying it. It really is good :)
I'm in a similar solution - 1br, 1 living room, 1 kitchen, 2 people - so while everyone's been showing off their fortress of solitude, I've spent 12 months at the kitchen table. Watching people on youtube build stylish and spacious home offices has become our new fantasy porn.

I've heard a lot of people saying that companies are going to realise this means they can cut down on their property costs, but far, far fewer mentioning that they're moving the costs for us. We're looking for somewhere with 2-3br so we can dedicate WFH space, and it's going to mean 2-3x our current rent.
I wish there was a desktop operating system that worked as good as IOS. And, no, Mac OS is a joke.
Definitely. But I can understand why not everything is added yet: Addon configuration pages are mostly broken, downloads are broken, and some other APIs.

Once those are implemented, which is expected soon (only in october did they implement the majority of the APIs so far) all addons should work, and it'll be open again.

The big issue with just opening it now is that it'd lead to dozens of complaints due to broken addons, so I can easily understand limiting it to people with enough understanding to go through these steps.

Besides, the chromium workaround used to be the official installation instructions for AdNauseam for Chrome, until Google markef it as malware. And Chromium doesn't even support addons at all on mobile devices
It's because react works with immutable state.

Svelte instead opts for compile-time magicks to handle state.

Angular uses decorators to manage state. This has turned out to be an unwise descision because javascript decorators have changed in spec since then.
We write most of our backend web services in Go, not really the frontend parts though.
I want a Linux phone, but :

- I want it to be fast (as fast as last year's flagships), because

- I want to use it as my only computer. Mobile when it's in my hand, desktop when it's connected to my monitor or mobile lapdock

- I want the mobile experience to be good enough (phone, message, very good browser, and support for apps that run on Ubuntu) for daily use, but not on par with e.g. Android

That's already quite a planning. Thanks for your efforts on the camera app.

Just like every other human being you can socialise with the people around you (unless you live in the middle of the desert with nobody around, in which case I apologise). If that's pathologically impossible due to fear or something along those lines, you need therapy. Working from home isn't taking a toll on you, it's the problems that already existed but that you have ignored.
I've spent 10 minutes looking through this page and I still could not describe to someone what this project actually is.
So what. I've been a backend dev before I turned to front-end and web stuff. React has like a dozen top level functions and approaches. No backend project I have ever seen was this simple to program. How much more simple does it have to get before people stop complaining?
It might really be a liberating moment for people (and economies, but let's care about people first). I don't know the future but I've seen way too much absurd friction in too many workplaces not to believe this can be a good step.
Fair enough. This really replaces the Notebook experience of Databricks and gives you the option to self host and as it is dockerised it is easy to deploy on Kubernetes (with JupyterHub) or other container hosts. If you want to do low-level RDD operations you can easily build a plugin.

I think previously Spark was difficult to run, now with Docker and supported Kubernetes it is fairly easy.

Edit: I forgot to link to the Deploy repo which does have some scripts to easily deploy to cloud environments (but needs some work): https://github.com/tripl-ai/deploy
> Whats worse is diffusion of responsibility - someone could be on the critical path to essential suppliers for millions of people, but at the same time have no obligations to ensure their job is done, and perhaps not enough profit margin to plan for the shit time.

There are interesting parallels to unpaid volunteers maintaining open source projects.
Well right now you can't because of the virus..
You don't even need those. React itself will warn you directly in the browser console

Not necessarily. Imagine the traits are distributed uniformly and independently in [-1 1]. There is no correlation:

******

If you select people with at least one positive trait you will find negative correlation in the group + but the correlation will still be zero in the group -.

// People should lose their jobs over things like sexual or any type of harassment //

It's not just the Minsky issue that makes people don't want RMS to be in power. It's also a pattern of sexual harassment towards women, since long back, in conferences and MIT. They can be found online, idk whether there is an article that details everything. I think most just want him not to be in a position of power. Just copying another comment from a flagged HN post below:

This is nothing Frontend or JS specific. I've been around in BE (c#) long enough, and the "new shit" adds also terminologies that have nothing todo with C#/.NET itself and were basically "unknown" to any C# developer (or Java for that sake) 10 years ago:

- Dependency Injection/IoC - Containers, Resolvers, Scopes
- Microservices (Circuit Breaker anyone?)
- DDD + CQRS (i could fill a whole page with terms coined by those)
- Mediator Pattern
etc.

If you buy into a certain techstack, it will always bring associated patterns that have nothing to do with the original language/idiom.
I find the AWS docs too verbose, however it’s quite possible that doing something in AWS is just more complicated than doing it in GCP. In that case the issue is not with the docs, but with the complexity of AWS vs GCP. Either way GCP has an advantage here.
I don’t think this is fair or helpful to OP. Isolation is not fun for a lot of people, myself among them.
If you work at a bank that's basically impossible. Most people will deal with data to some degree, anyone else in the room needs to be cleared for that data (i.e. employee of the same company).

And banks aren't the only companies where that applies, anyone dealing with customer data cannot just use a shared office with people of other companies. If you deal with code that can also apply to some degree.

I've often enough seen confidential data on trains/planes because people were working on the go and not using proper screen protectors (in the past those were mostly consultants). Luckily that never included sensitive customer data. The more people work in public places, the higher the risk for data breaches.

I love working from home but I think it has to be either home or office for many, cafes or co-working spaces aren't a viable solution and a nightmare for anyone in IT security.
I'm close to 100% disagreeing with you

> About a year ago I switched from Windows to Linux for my home media PC, and it's such a relaxing experience. My computer just does what I tell it to do, and nothing changes unless I want it to.

My experience with Linux on the Desktop is that it wants to install updates. It doesn't force me to install updates, which I appreciate. However, eventually I also want to install updates. Unfortunately, on numerous occasions these updates have rendered the system unbootable. This is not a worthwhile tradeoff.

This has never happened to me with Windows. I'm aware that it does happen to some users, but I have trouble believing that I'm just really unlucky with Ubuntu/Debian/PopOS and Fedora.
Realistically this is more akin to a physicist hearing from a non-physicist they have a design for a perpetual motion machine and declining to pursue it.

Gödel was clearly a giant in his field but here he is completely outside of the rubric of things he was familiar with. Specifically the constitution describes a political system not a logical one and while logic is important for the law, it does not describe anything like a formal system of logic (in the mathematical sense).

Judges are also incredibly busy and they probably had a huge caseload to deal with and little time right then for a detailed constitutional debate.

While there‘s truth to that, it doesn‘t bring home my own issue with WFH: It might be okay to much better for individual contributors, but it‘s harsh for me as a manager.

Zoom (fatigue) meetings all day, staring at the screen instead of real people and any form of "managing by walking around" and watercooler chats are gone.

This might not make a difference if my job was a corporate mess and sucked before already, but for people like me who actually enjoy their peers, it‘s a net negative.

I feel completely out of touch with what happens in the company and everything feels super transactional.

I mean, nobody opens a Zoom call to just chit-chat about mundane stuff. Well, some do but I‘m sick of taking any additional video call beyond the 4h I’m enduring every day.

Sure, we could adjust to an even more asynchronous workflow like the poster child remote companies, but to me it would make this issue even worse.

I can see how this benefits introverts and people with social anxiety, but as for extroverts me, I‘m getting more depressed every day.
> Just like every other human being you can socialise with the people around you (unless you live in the middle of the desert with nobody around, in which case I apologise)

Or, you know, if we’re in the middle of a global pandemic.
nop, my experience trying to buy a hard drive back then with a very small budget. I just noticed the grandparent comment now tho, thanks.
The problem with social media is that it is very easy to find many "like-minded" people throughout the world, regardless of how insane their collective opinion is.

The fact that we have flat-earth groups and so many anti-vaxxers is a good example.
I was talking about angularjs. not angular.

And like I said, react promised immutable state would solve a lot of problems, but it turns out you lose a lot of convenience as a developer while not gaining that much.

Yeah tell that to my teaching assistant wife who works at a Lincolnshire village primary school and is now 'always on' to the whims of the go getting headmistress 24/7.

She feels she can't practically ignore out of hours requests and she doesn't want to challenge the practice for fear of rocking the boat.
I don't think WFH during a pandemic is a good point of comparison to regular WFH. It'd be like me judging it by my current situation where we just upgraded our lockdown again very severely. I've got a 7 year old and a 4 year old playing Twister next to my desk right now at 0842! All the things I like doing during the day are closed or extremely restricted. I know this is going to suck! Some of my friends have been stuck at home trying to keep kids on remote learning going whilst working in open plan houses for over a year. This is just not a normal situation.
Only mid-sized towns, really. At least currently, very rural areas often lack the infrastructure to allow several people in the household to use video streaming (calls for the parents, youtube etc for kids) simultaneously. Starlink could change that, let's see. But unless you get at least 50mbit/s to every household, remote work won't really be possible for many. And sadly, many countries are far from having 50mbit/s available in rural areas.

I personally love the Scottish Highlands but internet is unbearably slow anywhere but in a few major cities. Let's hope Starlink can meet demand of those areas.
I'm not seeing the benefit. Being "in the field" is imaginary. If a good point is raised, does it matter where it comes from?
The very important difference is that we do distributed systems now (admitted, X originally was also distributed, but only the drawing/events parts, not on the data level). A SPA is a distributed system, with all its drawbacks & pitfalls.

If you ever did VB development in the 90s, you will know how easy it was to get a basic app running with those fancy Drag'n'Drop RAD tools. But there was no networking, everything worked offline. But then came the web and the networks, and now everything has to be a distributed system.
Anticipating major industry collapse, the Carrier Alliances showed remarkable discipline in aligning supply with demand as early as February; removing trade capacity from the seas by halting vessels and shipments. By doing so, the erosion of ocean rates was kept to a minimum. Basing their reaction on potential worst case scenarios, shipping carriers artificially created under-capacity. This made available space come at a premium and therefore significantly raised the cost of container shipping, stabilizing revenues for carriers.

If I'm reading this right, container shipping is an oligopoly similar to OPEC and they all banded together to reduce supply enough to raise prices, while in a competitive environment prices would have gone down due to reduced demand?
Latin also has no articles, neither definite or indefinite, they were later derived from personal pronouns in Romance languages. Same for lower/upper case and punctuation marks, it's all (relatively) late invention - after the Classical period at least.
Where I live physical mail, as well as land (fixed? wired?) phone, is just an outlet for marketers and hardly has enough legitimate use.
I am currently memorizing Hiragana (~100% done) and Katagana (~10% done), before venturing into learning some basic Japanese. It's incredibly and unnecessarily complicated, from the perspective of a "westerner" (Italian roots, fluent in English, some Spanish, bits of French). I'm still fascinated by it, and still want to learn some, primarily because I like visiting Japan and I plan to spend several weeks per year there. Kyoto is my favorite city. Last year I was fortunate enough to spend 3 months there, at the beginning of the pandemic (March to June 2020).

It would be great if languages could be "upgraded" to remove the hardest parts, both for native speakers and for foreigners willing to learn.

I remember reading that a famous poet/literate (can't remember who) tried to propose that for the Spanish language, decades ago.

Otherwise, it would be nice to have a universal language that everyone can learn and speak. Obviously, English is now occupying that spot, but I'd bet that English is certainly not the easiest, nor the most complete, language we could use.

Attempts such as Esperanto and others were never carried out with enough skills or resources. I'm wondering if it could be possible to do so today.

Coincidentally, I wrote a novel ~20 years ago, in which the protagonist is a language professor that invents a new universal language, called Galatico, and "open sources" it for the benefit of humanity. I even ventured as far as designing the basic concepts of this artificial language. It was really fun. Without knowing it, I used an alphabet system (base 64, in my case) similar to the one used in the Cistercian numerals [0]. I discovered this just two months ago, when visiting a Cistercian monastery in Italy, and then reading more about these monks.

Truly fascinating, for me.

Redux Toolkit is great and removes most of the usual Redux boilerplate which seems to be the most often used argument against Redux. Additionally, I usually use a function which uses createEntityAdapter, createSlice and createAsyncThunk methods to create Ducks bundles for each REST API resource automatically. As a result I get all async action creators, reducers and basic selectors for some REST API resource with a couple of lines of code.
