I wouldn't call it angrily, but yes, a big focus has been on equity and eliminating different levels for students.

Some elements make sense or I think would do little harm. I was high achieving in math - but the push to calc in high school does feel overdone I think - it's often a shallow understanding.

They are very focused particularly on issues like 30%+ of Asian students and only 3-4% of other minorities being in advanced tracks of math education so they are trying to reduce those.

Some neat ideas around doing more open ended tasks (cool!) in make that integration work better.

That said, will likely be some tough corners because there are can be some pretty significant skill differences across a student body in a given grade. They are going to try and do more group work, and also one of the 5 new principles is to teach towards social justice in math as well as other areas which may provide more opportunity for engagement by all students.

i recommend you use your technical skills to get a corporate remote job for 5 years. You can make some good coin in that time and honestly you won't have to work much. Definitely not cattle. You can probably spend the majority of your mindpower on your own interests and projects but still collect big corporate checks, bonuses, and stock.

I agree it grates on the soul. But it's a net win and only a temporary fleecing.

I am getting close to homeless, and know people who never thought they would be without a home very scared.

I wish Biden realized how hard homeliness can be. Cities, and towns, need to stop ticketing vechicles that are parked overnight, and used as residences. I would like to see any federal, state, or local land, set aside for the homeless.

Hang in there.
if i remember correctly, Airbnb had many issues with RN that were not related to their incremental migration, such as the issues they had with things like debugging, where it was almost impossible to fix certain bugs due to RN using different JS engines depending on platform and context (for ex running with a debugger causes RN to use V8 whereas running locally on iOS / Android it uses JavaScriptCore or Hermes, respectively). RN is awesome but imo has some pretty serious pain points.
What a trope that AirBnB story has become. They mixed their gigantic native codebase with React Native code.

Mixing native and React Native = bad.

Doing pure React Native (for everything but ultra high-performance and apps that interact tightly with hardware) = good.
> The moderation is a definite net positive.

Their moderation was effective at growing the platform, but pretty horrific in its own right.

Yes because the lander will melt quickly.
The USSR did back in the day. It is much more harder, not to necessary land, but for your lander to survive more than a couple of hours.

It is hot like an oven, with 400F temperatures, and multiple ATM pressures. It is much a more challenging environment.

One of the interesting things I have encountered with Linux vs Mac users is that Mac users tend to blame faults much more on tools than on the system, while Linux users blame things more on the system and often try to workaround it or fix it.

To give an example, I've tried to convert colleagues to use meet.jit.si instead of zoom. On macs to share your screen you apparently have restart safari and give it some permission (I think you even need to do it every time? ). The people who were using macs were quick to dismiss jit.si because of this, even though it's completely an apple problem.

A few days ago, someone shared his drum sequencer and I got encouraged to also share a similar website that I'm building. I'm not a musician nor a pianist but I decided to make something similar to Synthesia as a coding practice.

Eventually, I ended up building more features than I initially planned. Apart from the midi visualizer, I added synths, samplers, effectors and key bindings. You can even use your midi keyboard of you have one.

Ultimately, this is just a hobby project. But I would be lying if I said I didn't want real users.

Please feel free to give suggestions and criticisms. I know the UI UX is pretty bad. I've built most of the features I wanted so I will be focusing on them next.
My team's anecdotal experience: In February of last year we moved from RN to Flutter. We are super happy with the switch. Our app in Flutter is used by around 1.3M users in 3 different countries. Our Flutter app is more stable (less crashlytics bugs), faster (performance wise) and keeps our mobile team happy (better developer experience). We also use Flutter Web for one app used by around 25k users, even though it is cool reusing some things from the mobiles apps, it still needs to improve in performance and stability.

The phone numbers on that page is a hotline for general questions. It is absolutely not the same thing as the point mrtksn's Murdoch quote mentioned.

A media magnate like Murdoch has the phone number to the White House central switchboard and can get the President on the phone. Maybe not immediately, but probably within an hour. He might even have the President's personal cell phone number.[1] In turn, the President can either do what Murdoch requests, or transfer him to someone who can.

What is the EU equivalent to this sort of access? Murdoch can probably get Ursula von der Leyen on the phone more easily than he can Biden. But is she the right person for what Murdoch needs? Even if she is, her position certainly does not have the breadth of authority, or depth of command structures, that a US president can call upon. If Murdoch learns from a reliable source that Russia is going to full-on invade western Ukraine tomorrow, would calling von der Leyen to warn her be of any particular help for Ukraine, or for Europe? No; calling Biden, Merkel, Macron, and Johnson would be more effective.[2] That's the sort of thing Murdoch meant.

Oh, I have.

My setup is now Remote VS Code to a Linux NUC that sits on my desk. All code lives on the NUC and all tests run on the NUC, but I can use my MacBook Pro as I move around the house, work outside, etc.

It's pretty seamless, I'm impressed.
I drive a Kia e-Soul myself, and while I keep the lane keeping assist/alarm on most of the time, I definitely disable it on narrow, twisty roads. Otherwise, the alarm goes too often, especially when I move out closer to the shoulder to make room for meeting traffic.
Given the choices that were made, I don't think it can do the job it's marketed as doing, and I don't think I could safely and reliably supervise a car that's expected to partially drive itself.

I much prefer to drive a vehicle where I'm clearly responsible, but the (on by default) assistance features might help me out from time to time if I screw up. A computer doesn't get bored of checking if there's a slowing vehicle or (if it checks for them) stationary object in the path; but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't stay alert enough to jump in. OTOH, I also don't like using cruise control either, but that's not because I want to stay alert, but because without radar cruise control it's too much work to use, and I don't like the following distance options for the radar cruise control I have access to.

"European chip and auto companies, for their part, are mostly lined up against the idea. They would prefer subsidies for the older-generation chips that are heavily used by car manufacturers and are in short supply.

Many of TSMC's most lucrative customers, such as Apple, are U.S.-based, while its European customer base is made up of mostly of automakers buying less-advanced chips."

Oh boy... This is exactly why EU will always stay third behind USA, China...

"We don't need e mobility, we have the best combustion engines!" Tesla owns VW now.

You misunderstand me. I'm not referring to the virulence nor the deadliness of Covid-19. More to the tangential "scientific discoveries" that were credulously reported as they were published by doctors with little review or time to coroborate. Some examples

-claims of a new covid related inflammatory disease in children

-claims about transmissibility to animals from humans

Just to name a few.
No offense taken. Your questions are valid.

1. Would he be informed of the/a bug(s)? Absolutely. We monitor bug tickets submitted to our team throughout the day. It's a main part of our job.

2. Was there a strict code ownership per individual contributor? No. This team's culture was such that once one contributor's code was committed to the main repository, it is part of the team's responsibility, not just the original contributor. In fact, any kind of don't-touch-my-code attitude was heavily frowned upon, worthy of a warning. I understand other teams may have different cultures.

I was too young to know the office dynamics back then, but in hindsight from more life experiences since then, I now see that he was just a very insecure person. His former colleagues were advancing ahead of him, making 4x his salary, and the last thing he wanted was a young team member outperforming him. This observation itself is a life lesson for me.

We do a lot of RN but recently had a large project that required Flutter. We were all curious because you hear good things about Flutter but, in the end, no one thought the dev experience of Flutter was better than Typescript+RN. One data point.
this is an interesting experiment in "web ui". If you can do common business operations by invoking CLI-esque or programming-esque commands into your address bar, I'd say Stripe's mission of "raising the GDP of the internet" is pretty damn near. Imagine:

- business.new (create a US-based C or S corp)

- equity.plan.new (create an equity plan for above corp)

- employment.contract.new (get your first hires on above corp)

or, if you want to dive more into the product-y world:

- api.new (create a new API backed by the serverless provider of your choice)

- saas.new (create a new saas with a landing page and default layout, maybe backed by a low-code platform like Bubble)

Essentially, turn the URL bar into a general "command bar for productivity on the web".

There are some long term trends that should work in React Native’s favor.

The pace of mobile changes is slowing and will probably slow further. This is the usual case of an initial innovation transitioning to incremental improvements. This means that React will eventually catch up or come close to catching up with mobile developments (if they have enough technical expertise to do so).

Competition has consolidated the market into two platforms. This means that only two platforms need to be supported.

Due to competition between iOS and Android, the two platforms are undergoing convergent evolution. This will also make it easier to support the two platforms since new features will be similar.
Not that I know of, Venus is kinda crazy. 90 ATM pressure, -1 pH acid rain, about 700 K temperatures at night, it's pretty absurd. Unless you want to make a probe out of solid Tungsten, you're probably out of luck. And good luck getting that out of low earth orbit, that would be stupidly heavy.
>Ransoming itself is already illegal and yet people still have the choice to do it.

You mean the attackers? They're not in the US, so US law doesn't matter to them.

>Why would making paying the ransom illegal remove the choice to do it?

The attackers don't care about the law. For 2 reasons: (1) they live in countries without much enforcement, (2) they use online anonymity tools. Most US businesses care about following the law to a reasonable degree so they don't get in trouble. They are in the US where there is better law enforcement and since they're legitimate businesses with known addresses and employees, they cannot be anonymous.

>It's something that's trivial to automate which produces positive cash flow, which makes it something approaching a thermodynamic impossibility to prevent from happening.

There are many aspects that need human effort. People actively communicating for spear phishing and vishing. Negotiators to negotiate the amount. Customer support to help with payments. Customer support to help with decryption. Constantly updating the malware to avoid new detections from antivirus. Constantly updating the malware to take advantage of new vulnerabilities.

>We made spamming illegal. Most of what is spammed is already illegal. So there's no spam anymore, right?

I never said making ransomware illegal would make it disappear.
They are pretty angry that asians are outperforming other groups, and the intention is to suppress the accomplishments of groups they feel are doing "too well", literally making Harrison Bergeron a real thing. In terms of calculus in high school being too overdone it's not too early at all for smart students. Many countries have a gymnasium style system and you can do much more than calculus in high school. In fact, this was even done in the U.S. in the past. Russia, Germany, France, and most Eastern European countries have math gymnasiums where you learn much more than calculus. The graduates of these are the ones that go on to be world changing mathematicians and scientists.

The problem is that the racial distribution of those students who are good at math upsets the blank slate world-view of the teachers, and the very notion that some students are smarter than others and that these discrepencies have consistent ethnic patterns fills them with a lot of rage due to their politics/religion. Trying to infuse the same dysfunctional beliefs into the math curriculum will serve to spread what crippled the teachers' analytical abilities to the students. That type of denial isn't going to help train engineers either. Bridges can't fall down, processors need to work, theorems require proofs. These are objective things that students need to master, not comfortable delusions about everyone having the same abilities in every subject.

So you can only deny reality for so long before you start losing your competitive edge and this affects your ability to be a leader in chip production. By suppressing opportunities for groups they don't like, the teachers are preventing students from achieving their potential. Wealthy parents will withdraw their students and either home school if they have the education to do it, or place them in private schools that try to maximize the potential of every student, regardless of whether those outcomes are racially balanced. But that's a minority, the middle class and poor will be denied a good education.

Taiwan and China are under no such illusions. They are happy to identify smart students and give them challenging topics in order to help them achieve their potential, rather than trying to slow down the best students in order to pretend that everyone has the same talent for math.
I don't think I am.

If I'm testing a react app on localhost:3000, and it normally calls out to an api of mine also, I may want to feed it some dummy data. Let's say I use python http.serve on port 5000 in a directory with files in a subdirectory `api` with files `users` and `posts` (which contain JSON data representative of the API response). I then set my react app to use localhost:5000 as the api.

The react app will then make the requests to the api such as `localhost:5000/api/users` and `localhost:5000/api/posts`. The server will respond with the data; however, if the header `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: http://localhost:3000` isn't set, the browser will block this data (probably? unless there are exceptions for localhost)

Is TikTok just for funniness, or does it have content that conveys information?
RN used to have a lot of issues years ago (~2015-2016 or so) with different layout rendering between iOS and Android. Since they re-wrote their layout engine to be the same codebase across Android and iOS this has been 99% fixed in my experience. You might very occasionally run into a difference of some sort but it will most likely be minor. Of course, I would say if you've never done a RN project before and you plan to release both iOS and Android, please DO test your app frequently on both as you code along. If you complete 90% of the code on, say, iOS only and then try to run it on Android, chances are you'll run into more WTH problems than if you were checking along the way.
