Suspense, itself, is somewhere in the range of “uninteresting” to “neutral”, in my opinion. Its direct use case would probably have been better solved by:

1. Providing a general signal to reuse the existing DOM node (or subtree, but that’s less useful) without performing any render logic.

2. Allowing components to use built-in suspension semantics (generators, async/await).

The former would have other really useful applications, like partial/selective hydration. The latter is closer to both the language and the original spirit of React, which embraced being close to the language. (Who ever thought “throw a Promise” for meaningful control flow before this?)

That said, it’s pretty clear from what React team has discussed since Suspense was introduced that it’s part of a larger strategy. Specifically: React Server Components. They’re laying the groundwork for that now, in stabilizing Suspense SSR.

I’m more interested in a less sophisticated solution, but it’s pretty clear RSC is both where React is heading and requires a more opinionated foundation like Suspense.

> difficult-to-track-down ways because of how errors are propagated with suspense

I suspect this has more to do with concurrent rendering generally, than with Suspense itself. Debugging concurrency is harder in general. React's simplistic top-down rendering model was successful in part because it was simplistic and top-down.

- - -

All of that may not be justified for your needs! React is positioned for a very specific set of use cases (even if it’s over-used for similar-looking ones). You may find you’re more comfortable in a more simplistic VDOM (and that’s okay!) or a library based on reactivity (if so, and if you’re coming from familiarity with React, I’d suggest giving SolidJS[1] a look; its rendering model is much closer to the DOM).

I’ll also mention that I’ve spent more time with Preact than React, and have found its Suspense implementation much easier to work with and debug.

Asymptomatic spreader: Person with an active infection that exhibits symptoms under their own personal threshold for self quarantine.

Core vaccines observable effect: Reduce manifestation of symptoms in infected persons.

It is possible that the vaccinated population has a larger rate and/or absolute numbers of people with no/low symptoms, aka 'asymptomatic spreaders'. It is also possible the other way around. I don't have hard data, nobody else seems to do.

Given that I don't actually know, I'm happy to refrain from speculation. I wish I could say the same from the 'any measure that may have some conceivable effect of reducing R0 must be mandated yesterday, or else you are personally responsible for the death of 4M people worldwide, and counting' crowd.
> Switzerland and Luxembourg are way WAY richer per capita than the US, and have much robust employee rights.

When you say per capita, are you referring to median or mean figures?

Hong Kong is richer per capita than Switzerland at the median and does not have nearly as robust of employee rights.

The US is richer at the median than Germany and does not have nearly the worker protections. The US also has vastly more low skill labor immigration (for 40+ years now), which persistently debases its median figures. Why are German workers so relatively poor, if the claims about worker rights is accurate? Surely the dynamo of Europe, the German economy, combined with such potent worker protections, should lead to enormous median wealth.

Luxembourg has 613,000 people. That's a pretty ridiculous comparison. You're comparing a giant country of 330 million to a modest size city like San Francisco.

I gave notices (verbal) twice during my employment in the 90s (On my own since 2000). In neither case I was eager to leave but I've felt that my remuneration had fallen too much comparatively to a market rate. In both cases I first went and got an offer for much better money and then asked my CEO to match it (we both understood what will happen if he will not). In both cases the offer was matched and the case settled.
People are not little machines that accept information as input, apply impartial rules of logic, and then spit out a correct answer. People are social-emotional animals with a carefully guarded sense of self, a basic need to belong, and all kinds of nervous system structures that, when activated, prevent rational thought.

This is not as simple as putting more information out there.
Apple did revolutionize power supplies, but not in the way that is claimed: They made it a marketing stratjey to ship utter garbage, like the Appple III, and the "Hindenbook" along with the most inexpensive, cost cutting, garbage known in the industry, until Dell and eMachines decided to use the same model:

Just look up "Apple PowerSupply Recall" and you will see they are just repeating their cost saving success/failure.

I tried something similar and the results are a mixed bag at best. When the algorithm decides to recommend a video from a creator that I don't follow, it is usually something worth my time. However I cannot seem to stop getting recommendations for videos I have already watched despite diligently clicking the "not interested because already watched" boxes.

A lesser issue is that if I don't watch the videos from a certain channel or genre for a while, the algorithm decides that I must have lost interest and stops recommending those content altogether when that's not really the case. And the "related videos" on the side bar never goes beyond a list of videos from the same channel.
> The difference I see is that there has been extensive, proven, unconstitutional surveillance of Americans by US intelligence agencies, but there is, to date, no evidence that Huawei has spied on Americans.

I can't tell if you are hopelessly native or arguing with typical cynical flippancy. Huawei is a global tool for Chinese espionage. And while global espionage occurs in the US, they don't compel US companies to help them. In China, there is literal legislation that compels every Chinese company to treat their data as property of the state. Either you don't understand that difference, or you are so hopelessly partisan in the matter you'll argue the cultural revolution was fake news.

Yes it was a giant scandal and they have since stopped. Just a story wouldn't even be a story in China, and such actions continue today, legally.

It's not a deficit because everyday users can use a service that handles private keys for them. Managing private keys and signing transactions is not the level of the tech stack that nontechnical folks were ever meant to be on.

It's like complaining that REST APIs aren't user friendly.

My point is for someone who understand how keys work a bit better (like a lot of people here) there are better ways to set things up.
Gradients are higher contrast than flat colours.

To try and put it another way, imagine, for a moment, that you are incapable of perceiving edges. Every single one of your flat tabs now looks like the same part of the same blob.

Now, realise that for a pretty high number of low-vision people, that is reality. The slight blur we experience makes most edges disappear.

(WinXP's high contrast overcame this by tripling the size of all edges).
No, that’s completely flawed. Beethoven’s style of music is not about liking it or not, it’s about his way of understanding and composing music.

If you wanted to know if they liked the music more, you could play any modern song and it would probably score higher, and I say that as a classical music fan.

To give an example, I would always go to a Mozart concert if the chance comes up, despite me not really liking his music a lot, there’s still no denying that they’re musical masterpieces and provide more than nice sounding tunes.

Google v. Oracle seems to suggest that you could do that, potentially? (IANAL.)

On the other hand, the fact that Arm doesn't produce chips might be an important factor, if there's an argument that the Java API is incidental to Java IP but the ARM ISA is the substance of the IP.

I think this would also depend on the extent to which the ARM ISA specifically is protected by Arm's patents, since Google v. Oracle was strictly related to copyright. It might be the case that what you're suggesting is plainly illegal, or I could see it being a kind of grey area where it's fine per se, so long as no one actually puts it into practice without purchasing a patent license from Arm.

Somewhat more true of Luxembourg than of Switzerland.

As a manager, one of the great joys of my job is watching people I've trained and mentored grow and outgrow my organisation, and leave to take on far better roles that are more exciting and challenging that anything I can offer them if they stay.

It's also one of the biggest challenges to me, replacing those people, who are often top performers on my teams. But that's my job. It's what I do for this organisation. "As an engineer" I hope you never consider holding your own career progress back just to make that part of my job easier. If that's a serious problem for me, then that's because I failed at _my_ job. I need to have contingency plans and succession plans and we both need you to not be irreplaceable. When I've got my ducks in a row, my reaction is "Right, time to accelerate $otherDev's seniority, temporarily move those @responsibilies to @colleagues with a handover, and call up HR/recruiting to hire in someone with @skillset. Let's plan some celebratory drinks."

When you're ready, and when a great opportunity presents itself, do not spend a second worrying about how I'll need to deal with you leaving. While you've probably just made a whole bunch more work for me as I scrabble to fill the gap you're leaving, I will genuinely be happy for you and proud of you for getting there.

(And I will try my hardest to communicate that pride and happiness much better than I show my frustration and stress as I do the hard parts of my job.)

1) It's not talked about much but this is an AMA so let's do it. Having to change our management team as we scaled. You have so much loyalty to people who made you successful it is brutal to have to hire a different set of people as you change as a company. This is true for almost every founder CEO scaling a fast growing business. Here's Larry Ellison talking about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HzZOfoHzju4

2) Set your life up so that you can stick with building a startup for a very long period of time. If you're not ready to make that level of life commitment then I recommend you don't do a startup! One of the things I found when I was researching what it took to be successful was almost every great startup would go through a period in the first few years where rationally they should give up (eg Airbnb founders selling cereal). For whatever reason they didn't and went on to find massive success as through sheer persistence. We spent a year on voice recognition app Sonalight and it didn't work out. There was no question though that we would keep going with Amplitude. It doesn't matter where you start out as a founder, by sticking around enough you end up learning so much and getting more formidable over time. Eventually you outlast most other founders who quit and go on to find success.

3) I need to think more about this one. Most of the stuff I agree with, the challenge comes in understanding what it means in practice. What mantras are you curious about?

I love the idea. I just wish the extension didn't require permission to "read and change all your data on all websites". I severely restrict the number of extensions I install with that permission. If any one of them is sold to unscrupulous people, or has a vulnerability, or just has their developer account hijacked, the extension can be silently updated to do anything, including for example stealing all of my money, or taking over any online account I use. It's a really scary permission when combined with silent automatic background updates.

It seems like it ought to be possible to do some or most of this functionality with more restrictive permissions.
A vaccine with currently no long-term studies being touted as having "no chronic health effects" surely qualifies as misinformation, no? Without 3, 5, 10 etc year studies, there's no way of knowing that there are no long term negative side effects. I highly doubt that legitimate misinformation that favors these vaccines and the pharma companies that produce them will be moderated at all, or at least anywhere near at the same rate as anti-vaccine (or even vaccine questioning) content.

Note this is not a claim that there are issues with the vaxes, just skepticism of sweeping claims about a relatively novel virus and novel vaccines, and the standards that are applied to moderation.

> GDocs, for one. Every time you share a link

I’ve never heard anyone complain about granular permissions for potentially sensitive documents. However, your “issue” is entirely made-up, because you can easily generate an “Everyone” link in gDocs.

> Slack and Jira ALREADY LET YOU PASTE IN RICH MEDIA and handle permissions and sharing internally

Slack & Jira are for different use cases/audiences, and handle significantly less rich media than gDocs can. However, if your company is shoehorning gDocs into situations where you could type into these other tools, that’s a social problem, not a technical one.

I would (and have) kept my cards close to my chest when searching for a new job. I think the employee/manager relationship is a delicate one because on the one hand you're human beings and you develop a relationship as human beings working together. There might be some friendship there. On the other hand, your boss represents the company and will do what's best for the company.

When you're looking for a new job, you're doing what's best for you; what's best for the company is secondary. If you let your employer know you're searching, they'll start prying and trying to make changes to make you happy. That's reasonable, but at this point they may make promises they can't keep. Obviously, if you are unhappy and think they can change things, share those concerns, but if they aren't doing enough for you that you want to look for a new job, then you've sort of given up on them.
