kragen says "People won't suddenly forget how to use their shortwave radios, smelt iron, and make gunpowder just because it's radioactive outside. "

shortwave radios? With no electrical power, no batteries?

"smelt iron" with coal, maybe! Now you've got wrought iron, which is good for what, horseshoes? Hedge your bets and buy a couple of horses tomorrow. [Bad news: I can imagine your neighbors' queries: "Hey, Bing, what's with the sudden interest in horses, eh? You aren't worried about some crazy sort of apocalypse, are ya? Whaddaya gonna do - ride off into the sunset or sumthin'?" Good news: you can eat a horse!]

"Make gunpowder" - for what, other than to blow up any remaining local CCP leaders. But it would be easier and more satisfying to kill them by hand.

"surveillance satellites"? where do you download data? Why? Where are the encryption codes? Most CCP command structures would be smoked.

"Semi-articulated trucks with tank escorts" is a laugh - with no diesel/gas, no repair facilities and no roads.

"to battlefields"? What battlefields? Oh, of course, so they can fight the Chinese living in the next valley. But before they do that, how about getting something to eat? Maybe you could roll up to the local Kentucky Fried Chicken in your 'semi-articulated truck'!8-))

"The whole scenario is just nonsense." - finally you got one right! What you envision _is_ nonsense.

The point of my post was that for a post-apocalyptic China, geography is destiny. The country would be fragmented socially and politically out of necessity. The most likely political structure to result is one that supports a more primitive infrastructure. China would fall into a number of separate independent regions. The CCP might survive somewhere but more likely would be snuffed out by the people, who would not appreciate the war the CCP had brought upon them.

>saying things like that with no consequences.

Should I be allowed to deny the sanctity of Christ in public without consequences? You would be hard pressed to find in all of Tudor England a man to defend such an outrageous proposition.

In all seriousness, this new religious struggle will probably tear the US apart over the next two decades. Hopefully it wont be as bad as the reformation was in Europe.
I guess it depends on your culture what the "standard" diet is. I don't think my diet is particularly extreme.

RN is better from the business point of view. I have noticed that some devs don't like RN, because they can't write native code or they only can write native code to Android/iOS. So they can't do everything and are disappointed.
If at all possible, I can't recommend Expo enough. I hated building RN apps prior to it, and now I hate building apps without it.
such unimportant things.
So, your argument is that no matter what choices were made about tuning, Autopilot isn't ready for real use?
Probably not quite what you're looking for but there was an interesting social network where the posts were forced into a kind of logical structure. For example, if you posted a conjecture you had to list supporting points that had to be individual. Then if someone wanted to reply to any point, they had to address that point specifically. I can't remember it's name and am totally unsure of how successful it was at staying on principle. But it was an interesting idea.

The cause for recent concern is that China is close to credibly "winning" the next Taiwan straight crises in almost all scenarios. Unlike Berlin in the cold war, there isn't a convincing trigger for MAD and it may become impractical for the US Navy to maintain the status quo.

With regards to UI elements and layouts nothing beats React and Flexbox CSS on mobile. Also, when it works correctly Expo is a pure bliss.

If I'm going to have my DNA modified by something and shed contagion to others, I'd rather it be a vaccine than a virus.
Best: be open to the proposed solutions of those under you. They aren't tainted by your own preconceived notions of how things should be.

Worst: be open to integrating the solutions of other teams, that may conflict with your own. Purity of your solution is irrelevant if others have gone in different directions already.

Kicker: these lessons were learned from the same person.

Having just finished an 8 month Expo RN contract I'm excited to never touch it again. For personal projects keen to see how far I can go with Svelte PWA + Capacitor.

Google + Microsoft should really double-down on PWA apps. I think at one point Microsoft was crawling the web and automatically listing any PWA in their app store. If that became the norm then maybe Apple will make their PWA install UX less deliberately clunky.

You are right. I just quickly googled a number. But it is still a substantial price for some people in the US.
There was a very good book, Being Mortal, where one of the points is that from the point of view of a doctor working with old people our bodies slowly but surely degrade until we are no longer to get on with our lives. So one aspect of life expectancy that gets missed very often is that my life expectancy is not the only thing that's important. During those extra years of life I also want to not be stuck in my bed, I would like to be able to go do stuff that I consider to make up my life. Exercise especially, among the other good things, doesn't just raise the life expectancy, it also makes sure you can do things yourself independently during those extra years. You don't even need to be forty for being sedentary to affect your life, it just comes to the fore as you age. It was a very motivating, slightly scary, interesting book, by Atul Gawande.

The total amount of time recommended as the minimum is something like 90min cardio + 90min strength training per week, that's like 30min/day. I spend more time watching Youtube than that.

Clearly he's got some issues given the reaction. However, was he informed of the bug? Was there an expectation he would fix his own mistakes?

I don't work in IT/Software Engineering - I work in law. But when I find fault in other's work, it's a courtesy to let them know and give them an opportunity to address it. It's part of being a team player. I am not trying to be critical of you. It's just reading this reminded me of similar experiences where I was in a similar position to you. They were important experiences. People can feel bad when other people fix their mistakes when they aren't given the opportunity to be heard about it. It's so tempting to just say 'I will just do it myself' but you might find other people react poorly to this.

Of course, maybe things are different in the IT world where it may be challenging to identify who committed a buggy change to the code repository, or perhaps just a radically different culture of work. But at the end of the day we are all human.

It does appear you have developed an awareness of this, given what you noted in your reply to him (and props to you for that!). From there on, his behaviour was misguided and not appropriate.
Have you worked with React Native or done other mobile development?
Many comments here are comparing this transition to the one Airbnb did a few years back. These two transitions could not be more different.

Coinbase decided to greenfield their new apps, Airbnb (attempted) to brownfield it. I've worked with a number of clients that have gone down the same path that Airbnb did, from a business perspective it makes perfect sense, keep what you have and slowly move over, but the technical reality is this will be a complete dumpster fire and you will probably fail.

When you try to convert a native app to React Native everything that makes React Native wonderful to work with just seems to break. Hot reloading either barely works or not at all, load up times increase exponentially, the app just becomes a pain in the ass to work with because nothing seems to work like it should.

Whenever companies propose this I always shoot down the idea and recommended a rebuild in React Native from the ground up. Doing so will take just as much time as browfielding because when you try to do a native -> react-native conversion it always seems to go south somewhere, either slowness, having to write 3x the code, or other problems.
Obligatory PSA: If you have any backups of community ZZT game worlds from the 90s and early 00s, please let us know! The past year has brought hundreds of rediscovered worlds, previously lost or not known about, particularly from the AOL era. Unfortunately, we also know there were more worlds on AOL which we don't have backups of, as well as poor coverage of the Prodigy, CompuServe, and other BBS-era communities.

If you have anything, let us know!

I'd say that an important part of mathematics aims at understanding structures and relations between entities in order to avoid inefficient computations. Maybe a trivial example would be multiplication algorithms that allow to bypass costly iterated sums while preserving confidence in the result.

Complexity (and entropy) have surely a crucial importance and can't be totally avoided but I think that mathematics precisely work at minimizing their impact.
I think it's possible to go native -> RN -> native without the whole being a failure. You may have a product that hasn't gained the traction that it should have because you have to build everything twice and just don't have the engineering resources to support that adequately. You move to RN, build out a whole new suite of features, gain momentum (and lots of revenue), and are then able to switch back to native now that you can afford to hire enough engineers to fully support each team.

Might Coinbase be rich enough to support native iOS and Android teams? Probably. I'm not trying to litigate Coinbase's decision.
tl;dr: The Amiga was created by a company Commodore bought, then Commodore ran itself into the ground, ESCOM bought up the corpse, then ran themselves into the ground, Gateway bought up ESCOM and sold/spun off the Amiga assets into Amiga Inc, Amiga Inc licensed their OS to Hyperion. Meanwhile Cloanto has been working on AmigaOS since 1993 and Amiga Inc also licensed their OS to Cloanto. Hyperion spends more of it's time shipping litigation rather than software.

The financial value of the AmigaOS is nil. Zero. Nothing. At best you could maybe sell copies to enthusiasts, but even tens of thousands of sales wouldn't be enough to hire even a single full-time developer unless you priced it way too high. This would be a poster child for relicensing as Free Software if it weren't for the fact that the OS was tied up in litigation and license double-dealing.

TBH, is the way pretty much all proprietary software dies. Companies holding onto their software through bankruptcy are legally obligated to sell it to whoever will recoup the most money for creditors; but usually their software is already outdated or unusable. So it will almost always get sold to sketchy companies or wind up sitting in some bank's junk assets portfolio for the end of time. Even if that wasn't the case, most proprietary software is actually very much not legally Freeable, because it has other non-Free dependencies. Occasionally, you get an outright miracle like Blender, where the whole app is owned by one bankrupt company and you can crowdsource enough capital to pay off creditors.

(Examples of other abandoned software whose owners' hands are tied would include things like Adobe Flash Player or IBM OS/2.)
It's not clear to me that this is an insightful framing of the situation. Certainly it is true that in China, as anywhere else, the degree of political autonomy accorded to regions of different sizes varies; at times governance is more centralized, and at other times it is less so. Borders shift over time, as do the particular powers accorded to local leaders.

Similarly, when the strong central government in Mycenaean Greece collapsed in the Bronze Age Collapse, Greece fractured into "regions controlled by warlords." Then one of those warlords, Alexandros, conquered Persia, most of the Mediterranean, Turkey, much what is now Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, and part of India. Then he died, and his empire fractured into regions controlled by warlords. Then the Roman Republic conquered most of the same region (not coincidentally becoming a Greek-speaking empire in the process), plus part of Britain and most of Western Europe, and fractured into regions controlled by warlords. Then the Holy Roman Empire arose and reunified a lot of those regions, at least in name (arguably, much like the later Zhou) and then fractured into regions controlled by warlords. Then Napoleon arose and reunified a lot of those regions, including parts of Russia that Rome and the Holy Roman Empire had never reached, but that didn't last long, and the warlords retook control from Napoleon pretty quickly. Even the Bourbons got restored! Then Hitler arose and reunified a lot of those regions, but his "country" fractured into regions controlled by warlords even more quickly. Then the European Union arose and reunified a lot of those same regions again by winning the loyalty of local warlords like Charles de Gaulle, Paul-Henri Spaak, and Joseph Luns. Or, alternatively, NATO did. Or the UN.

And you can tell a similar story about Russia.

You could reasonably object that NATO, the EU, the UN, and the Holy Roman Empire aren't or weren't "strong central governments" as we know them today. Well, they weren't Westphalian states, it's true. But neither were any of the reigns of Chinese emperors we're talking about here. And, although if you go to overseas Chinese school you might be taught a simple linear succession of dynasties, the truth in China is much more complicated, just as the truth about western Europe is much more complicated than my linear version above.

What does that have to do with what Russia would do if the nukes started flying? Does the collapse of the Kievan Rus' in the face of the Golden Horde mean that Russia's command structure would collapse in the 20 minutes needed to launch a counterattack? The Scythian king Ateas, from what is now Russia, fought in his dotage and fell in battle with Philip of Macedon in 00339 BCE, and his empire collapsed. Should we thus infer that his successor Vladimir Putin will remain in power too long and make Russia weak, easy pickings for a new conqueror?

Such inferences are obviously ridiculous.

On the other hand, I find the integration between Atlassian tools to be pretty barebones. It feels very clear to me that Atlassian tools are really developed separately, with a separate jira task to integrate specific parts. There's no "coherency" to them.

You are right that it's difficult to replace the entire Atlassian suite. The thing about Atlassian is that when there's if there's a box to check on a feature list, they've made sure to check it. If you go around the office asking everyone what features they want, Atlassian is going to check all those boxes. That's pretty hard to compete with.

> Apple being actively hostile with the default coreutils requiring you to layer multiple third party tools just to get a modern version of awk and grep

This makes no sense. Apple's Unix CLI tools are largely derived from FreeBSD, not GNU coreutils. I've seen no evidence that Apple is actively holding those back.

That you prefer the GNU version is an entirely different matter from Apple not shipping "a modern version." Frankly I'd prefer the GNU version too, but still.
The EU exported over 200 million doses. If the EU wanted, they could've issued an export ban like the US did. People tend to forget that 3* (with Curevac soon to be 4) of the most effective vaccines are actually from the EU.

The same goes for knowing when to pay attention to Stack Overflow or GitHub and when not to. ;-)

In fact, it would probably be funnier if it were $1 to implement a new feature with an npm package and $1999 for knowing which npm package to use.

That said, usually when I search HN and stick to recent posts/comments within the last year, the advice often proves useful to some degree, as when experts share their direct experiences. For less technical concerns the same can be true of Reddit.

Right on point. I have done a lot of React Native but never tried to mix native + React Native (with the exception of the occasional native feature in a mostly RN project).

Mixing an old native project with RN, doing a so called "slow transition" sounds like a really bad idea. Data communication between the native part and React Native will become an issue, you're effectively going to be running a mini distributed system within your device. There's probably 100 other problems that I can't even start to imagine. Perhaps a super experienced, world class expert in both JS and mobile development + runtimes can pull it off but I wouldn't be comfortable trying to do it (been doing mobile development directly since 2016 and have been close to mobile dev since ~2011). Re-write is a better option.
