The chilling implication behind some Taiwanese downplaying the threat is that they think it'll be relatively bloodless. That is, they plan to surrender once China feels comfortable enough about its naval balance against the US to pull the trigger. Taiwan under new management doesn't affect their retirement. The king is dead, long live the king. After all, its their lives they'll be needlessly throwing away if America doesn't come through with an overwhelming navy.
What if Taiwan and China are the same entity, with two faces? Then it would make sense to hype the threat, and hype how different they were and how "Western-valued" Taiwan was. But why do this? Control. "Good cop, bad cop". I can come at you from two angels, control what you see as a threat, and control who you see as a friend, but I control both those. Why else? Maybe China can get Western tech back-channeled through Taiwan. Defense contractors can't sell to China, but they can to Taiwan. A few TW based "China spy" show trials don't a summer make. Why else? Maybe China can push the US into a "Moon race" style resource depletion/distraction race using South China Sea / Taiwan as a bait and vanguard. Why else? Media control. Threat of war narrative trumps many others. Slightest provocation triggers explosion of media interest. China can deploy this narrative countermeasure any time it likes. Why else? Why did NI prolong the "troubles" for such a long time, and maintain the narrative of persistent threat? Kept the foreign money flowing. TW is uniquely position to capture both Western and Chinese investment. Could this situation be as "innocent" as the media narrative would have you believe about: "big bad China", "poor innocent Taiwaness", and "noble heroic America"? Or could there be more too it? Think about it, or not, invasion not gonna happen in the 2020s.

It's not common but all of these aspects are within your control. Luck is surely involved too, but it's not like FAANG uses random() to pick senior engineers.

If you get your foot in the door into FAANG and work very hard, you have a decent shot. If you don't want to relocate, that's your problem. There are trade off's in life. If you can't relocate, that's unfortunate.

AirBnb went exactly through this transition and back... Coinbase is just behind by a couple of years. Perhaps Coinbase' engineers, are better, or a different breed from Airbnb' ones, or perhaps React Native has matured more since 2019. Can't give you an answer.

Linkedin had the exact iteration years ago. They had one of the first NodeJS Apps, driven mobile apps, and made some glossy block posts, praising it. Then quietly went back to native. Facebook went back and forth with HTML 5 sound the same time, etc.. etc..

It is like seeing the same movie over and over, with just some minor plot twists, they tend to play out the same. Since the Java's Applets promise 'write once, run everywhere', this story instead has been always the 'write once, debug everywhere'.

Not to mention the power supplies with many laptops don't even provide enough watts to power the system at max load (including macbooks pros). They just use the battery to provide bursts at full speed. Generally that's good enough for a lot of uses.

Gaming laptops do try and provide enough power and thermals to run full tilt. For work I chose an Alienware m15 because of this, and I wanted fast over thinnest. The m15's offer an i9 and probably could run one near full thermal load. In my case a desktop wouldn't do since I need to move around (doing IoT stuff, so I goto different parts of the lab). But, I do miss the macbook pro build quality. The first m15 died, and the replacement has a dead pixel.
You’re the one being utterly dismissive with your condescending tone and failure to acknowledge any points that op made. Sounds like they’ve been around long enough to have seen this cycle a few times. Used to be Ruby on Rails was the next coming of Christ.
The moderation is a definite net positive. Though those with political viewpoints opposite a given user and anti-vaxxers have abused the stringent moderation to wantonly get videos taken down or users’ live stream disabled. Growing pains.
What then do you think is the “correct state” that they should skip all the experimentation and jump straight to?

Personally, I suspect the reason that big teams are experimenting (and finding successes despite some failures and trade offs) is because this is a difficult problem that isn’t solved and requires ongoing creativity and experimentation.
Also Germany, the "made in..." Label was invented in the UK to distinguish their products from the cheap German knock-offs. Later "made in Germany" became a sign of quality.
That integration piece is key. The people who want to replace Atlassian tools usually focus one part of the suite (usually Jira or Confluence), but to replace them you all you need a set of tools that work together.

It's not just issue tracking, but alerting, issue management ITSM tools, source control, CI/CD, release management, documentation and I don't know what else that all need talk to each other and provide traceability from any point to another. You can do the integration yourself, but it's a gigantic PITA, and as the number of tools rises, the number of integrations you need to set up is going to rise terrifyingly fast.

I have a litany of complaints about the Atlassian suite, but none of the competitors have even have the services we need.

I did not (yet) deep-dive into the article, but this:

> This was observed in a specific table, that had ~20000000 rows and 23 indexes.

The DB will update all the indizes before committing its transaction and that could be one of the reason why it‘s still „slow“. Many indexes and many rows is not always a good option. Indexes makes insert slow and select fast.
You linked to a site that is linking to another site that is actually hosting the content? Both times you've posted on HN in the 4 days you've had an account, you've done the same thing. Linked to somewhere that links to the same domain.

I'm never touching mobile development and especially React Native again!

I'm a web developer and a few years ago, I had the opportunity to develop a mobile app. What a nightmare...

Among the new versions of React Native or Gradle breaking everything, all the npm packages suddenly not maintained anymore, the virtual phones not always starting or refreshing, the custom code you add to do in Java and Objective C because RN cannot do everything, and certainly the worst, the deployment on the app store.
Sure, let's make a list:

* Russia built a rocket that almost put its enormous core stage in orbit -- Energia -- but were careful that it didn't. 2 launches total.

* The Space Shuttle was careful to not put its enormous external tank into orbit. 100+ launches.

It's one thing to lose control of a space station before it re-enters, numerous countries have had that happen. It's another to design a launch system that's intended to have a large thing re-enter uncontrolled. Russia? Never. US? Never.
I'm skeptical of most "we switched from X to Y" posts, but the thought process here seems pretty solid.

* They had a much harder time hiring mobile developers than web developers, and per-person productivity was also lower

* They prototyped an app before committing to a new technology

* Similarly, they tested a change to the existing app before switching

* They specifically invested time to cross-train people, and tested how long it took web developers to get productive on React Native

* They interviewed Airbnb, who had also invested a lot of effort into React Native before dropping it

* At each step, they considered whether to rewrite from scratch or incrementally switch that part of the codebase

This makes a lot of sense. It shows the kind of careful consideration we should apply when seriously considering switching to a new technology.

I’ve been scammed a few times already and I’m very apprehensive about paying for a service without at least some proof work is actually being done for me. I’ve had so many excuses about my credit report needing verification from a USA hacker because I’m in Canada. That is different for me. They needed to buy a software because the Canadian credit bureaus had updated their security protocol. And then there was money I had to send by Western Union only to find out the receiver names were flagged and then leaving me being questioned for sending funds. They told me my capital one credit card could not be worked on or prepaid card I bought was actually used for some other means and that someone gained access to the prepaid card. I had then lost money again. It goes on and on. However, my story changed to a happy ever after when I contacted him creditrepairmannetwork@gmail.com. These were my exact statement to him; “reassure me I’m not been had then it’s a win-win for both of us! Prove the positive reviews about you that I’ve read are actually true. Trust is something gained and if you are on board with this, let’s proceed ASAP”. He replied with a beautiful proposal which was just what I wanted. We immediately got started with the project of fixing my credit and within 7 days, he performed a miracle on my report and brought an everlasting smiles on my face again by removing all negative items on my report including inquiries, credit card debts, an eviction, medical bills and student loans thereby making me qualify for everything, God bless him. Contact him with the above info and he will make you smile too irrespective of your location.
AirBnB tried to mix their big native codebase with React Native and end up with a Frankenstein.
I disagree that a higher price will dissuade hoarders from hoarding; you've just validated their notion that gas is getting more valuable and more scarce. See: deflation.
I am not dismissing React Native, and saying it is a bad technology, (it is pretty good for a certain type of apps) and it can work for some.

If you see my end note, "to more junior engineers", don't use React Native in your project because X company is using it, and it must be trendy.

Use it only if you do enjoy using it. If you are already good/skilled at building native apps, then you might not need it at all.
Your comment reminds me of http://boringtechnology.club/ :)
Rejected from APA ? Need to check what APA is - American Psychological Association's LOL. You know psychology is barely science becose they keep ignoring some sources. And American PA is well known to be political organization - whatever president you guys have there that pseudo-science PA acts accordingly. Example ? Obama and gender, Biden
and same... Guys you seriously have problems with science there !

And I'm afraid yours so precious "national security" is secondary to money making too...

Dropbox supports xattr transparently and fully AFAIK (Finder icons, Finder comments, Finder tags, legacy Mac fonts… all sync fine from my experience).

Resilio Sync says it does partially [0] but IMHO not to an acceptable level (it keeps Finder tags for instance but loses Finder icons and completely cripples legacy Mac Fonts).

Note that .DS_Store files are another different thing altogether. They are standard files storing the view state of their parent folder (and, incidentally, Dropbox does not sync them [1] and Resilio Sync is set to not sync them by default).

The article specifically mentions that they spent a lot of time interviewing AirBnB about their experience and links to the same post.

"If you’ve read Airbnb’s excellent Sunsetting React Native article, these challenges may sound familiar. We spent many hours speaking with engineers from Airbnb and trying to learn from their experiences. We’re grateful to the team for sharing the details of their journey, as the information was invaluable in deciding the best path for Coinbase. One of our key takeaways was that the brownfield approach seemed to be core to many of the challenges they faced. While the idea of incrementally migrating is at first glance appealing — leveraging the benefits of React native for new features without the upfront cost of a full rewrite — it introduces significant technical and cultural migration risk over the long term."

There's the common adage that sarcasm needs a "tell", otherwise people might take you seriously. A group of previous colleagues taught me you actually have to go one level deeper:

Not only does your sarcasm need a tell, you need to have previously provided enough evidence that you're not actually an asshole. Otherwise, someone can be sarcastic all day, but no-one's really sure whether they're trying to be funny, or actually offering genuine asshole views coated in the plausible deniability of "sarcasm" for those who don't agree.

"I really can't tell if you're joking" is the first warning flag.
From my worst colleague: This man thought things were funny, and they weren't. I bicycle commuted to work, and he thought it funny to buzz me, passing just a few inches away from me, doing about 60mph on his street motorcycle. Another time, I was a bit stressed and needed some downtime so on my way out of the office, I said as much and added "so don't call me unless something is on fire." So, he called me, on my lunch, to tell me the building was on fire. I panicked, thinking all my coworkers lives were in danger, and told him to call 911 and get out of there now. He started laughing.

What did he teach me? He taught me that when I'm sufficiently pissed off, I can be vindictive. I retaliated more than once by doing mostly harmless things like sticking a floppy disk in his PC so it wouldn't boot, and then not helping him fix it so he could do his job (that should date this for ya...). He wasn't computer savvy, and I let him stew in it. That made me ashamed of myself later, and I have never taken the low road again. So he taught me something about myself, and I changed for the better because of it. I still vehemently dislike him and what he did, but that was a long time ago.
It may be based on testimony but this does not mean there is no metric for quality. There are tools which can help hint to us about the quality of some information: double blind controlled trials, reproduction, systemic reviews, longitudinal studies, published pre-study methodology, multiple lines of evidence. And some are considered as better than others. For example, a double blind controlled experiment is considered more indicitive of causal effect than an observational study. Which is still better than a self reported survey.

I don't think it's entirely a bad idea. It would be hard because it would be an elitist endeavor. As in, criteria and protocol would have to be established by a small group ahead of time rather than democratically. Such institutions are vulnerable to capture or stagnation. But they can be really useful while they are true to their mission.
Except they are in English. I’m sure there are heaps of positive forums in Chinese on this topic.
Anecdotally, in my home, my wife had chills and general ickyness from about 12-36 hours post 2nd dose. Myself and my teenager had no side effects at all. Even the soreness at the injection site was less after shot #2 than it was for the first.

Don't let fear of side effects drive you away from getting the necessary booster. As of today, Fauci says I can ditch the mask. I'll still be keeping one in my pocket just in case though.
I’d be interested how important these are in the “real world”. I spent a few years working in Asia. I would agree that volume matters (reminds me of hard science PhDs from Russia and Eastern Europe). That said, I’ve heard from more than a few folks that the Western educated folks tend to be more flexible and independent. But I guess it depends on what you need? If it’s just entry level engineers who follow instructions then I could see Asia being a better source just due to shear numbers.

I have no idea how true it is, but I’ve heard that from a few folks.

> The US would start a nuclear war, in response to a North Korean first-strike.

US will possibly do a limited retaliation, but not a full scale war.

Norko is effectively China's 24th province. US generals are not onblivious to that fact.
Hundreds of comments and no one mentions that if the three gorges dam goes it's 30%+ of china gone. A literal single ton warhead ( ballistically delivered torpedo ) would accomplish this. More likely to be a nuke but...
Right. But also: I'm not trying to be dismissive. We both know that we're looking at this through different lenses. I'm genuinely curious how your lens could inform mine; like, is there something I'm missing? Where, by deploying a much more conventional Prometheus architecture, I could somehow make our users happier? I don't see it, but I'm a dummy; if there's something for me to learn, I'm happy to learn it.
Gin indexes aren't "plain" indexes - they're used for things like full text search. Depending on the specific types/opclasses that can mean that a lot of work has to be done for a single inserted/updated row.
This makes me think about the way we define “harsh”.

What’s actually so harsh about Mars?

Let’s imagine some alien civilization tries to send a probe to Earth, they’d be saying things like:

“Dude, that atmosphere is gonna burn our shit up before it even touches ground, if we’re not careful.”

“Holy shit, what are these huge animals with long noses and big ears? They’re gonna destroy our probe if they walk over it.”

“Let’s avoid landing in that area where those bipedals are still waging war.”

“The rain is acidic! WT bloody F?”

“Ugh, those black-and-white swimming things seem like assholes who like to play with their food, let’s steer clear of them.”
Being dabbling in custom keyboards a while now, and these were exactly my thoughts as well.
does it cover build systems/makefiles? I usually spend some time fighting them, on the other hand there are so many different build systems, so that i can't blame them for not choosing any particular build system. Correction: there is some coverage of makefiles in https://missing.csail.mit.edu/2020/metaprogramming/
If anyone were to actually do that, China would retaliate - no rational actor would do that. And I don't think any irrational actor (ISIS?) is interested in going after China right now though...
