Doing anything halfway complicated with React, such as implementing browser fingerprinting, means building a complex stack of components that you then have to constantly maintain and manage.

The alternative to building a complex stack of components in your framework is to build the thing you want in vanilla JS (exactly as you would with plain ES6) and then call it using a hook. The maintenance overhead for complicated things that don't integrate in to the framework well will be exactly the same, but you also get to use the framework for things that do integrate well.

So no, ES6 isn't going to replace anything. It will augment framework use in some edge cases with high complexity. That's exactly how things work now.

The problem with the article is that the author thinks overcoming the difficulty in building a complex application is a matter of writing better code. That is wrong. The way to build a complex application is to be more organised. That's what frameworks make easier, even if the code ends up being pretty horrible.
I think both Visa and Mastercard are increasing their fees like that, but only for payments between the UK and EU (and pretty much simultaneously too - aren't duopolies great?)
What are these paragraphs in response to?

> I claim that with ivermectin, even the people who don’t usually lie were saying it was ineffective, and they were saying it more directly and decisively than liars usually do. But most people can’t translate Pharma → English fluently enough to know where the space of “things people routinely lie about and nobody worries about it too much” ends. So they incredibly reasonably assume anything could be a lie. And if you don’t know which statements about pharmaceuticals are lies, “the one that has dozens of studies contradicting it” is a pretty good heuristic!"

We currently have a unique situation. Never in the world have scientists, experts or doctors been as pressured to direct people to current vaccines. There's a clear risk to losing your credibility and your job if you were to contradict. Even if you were to think that something may be wrong, it would be a herculean task for you to prove it and is it really worth it to sacrifice your career and everything else? Maybe you are just 50/50 or 80% sure, and incase of that 20% uncertainty you definitely don't want to risk your life work.

Also chicken and an egg problem. Anyone who claims current vaccines are unsafe or ineffective are discredited, so after they have made their claim you can just call them misinformation spreaders and tell again "no credible scientist has said X" and if that credible scientist says X, you will just stop considering them as credible.

But my point is more oriented towards vaccines than Ivermectin honestly. I'm not a proponent of Ivermectin, but I'm just trying to discuss what results might current motivations in the world yield, and I believe it's definitely possible that Ivermectin COULD be improperly discredited in current ecosystem of everything.

With all the social pressures, dire situation, debates being blocked, people labelled immediately misinformation spreaders if their conclusions don't fit the mainstream narrative, I would say very many untruths are possible.

I myself can't trust MSM at all any longer, and I am 95% sure that vaccines are not as safe and effective as MSM is trying to portray them as. I don't know exactly how unsafe or how ineffective they are, but that's mostly because proper debate is not allowed. Until this clears up, I'm going to skip on vaccines.

Yeah for a server/embedded solution those are probably better to use for simple setup?

But desktop usecase, OBS is pretty much a gold standard.
I haven't seen an option to set a payment limit, but all banks give you the ability to cancel a direct debit authorisation at any time. For that reason alone I'd say it's always better to use direct debit than give a merchant your credit/debit card for subscription services.

In any case, the banks seem to be very good at refunding direct debits in cases where the merchants appear to be abusing them. My ex once noticed after several months that her gym was still charging her even after she'd cancelled - the bank made it very quick and easy to claim back all the extra payments!
A leftist can be an authoritarian. In 2021, people are forced from employment over authoritarian (and bad) vaccine mandate, created in secret in 2021 by so-called leftists.

Additionally, we should be careful not to conflate Roman Catholic with Christian values (which appear to be more left leaning).

Roman Catholic values can shift abruptly because of how the power is structured. Right now we have a Pope who I do not agree with. His philosophy is flawed and not anything I agree with.

Please look up Jesuit Oath, that isn't Christian at all and yet the pope is a Jesuit.
This article makes no sense. ES6 allows you to express things more succinctly, but it's not a React killer. You'd still be missing a declarative UI renderer if you were starting out framework-free, armed only with ES6.

And it's not a killer of other frameworks, either. ES6 doesn't give me the wings I need to ditch Winston for logging or Redux for managing state. Not sure how this article got to the front page, but it certainly shouldn't stay here :P
That's why we need science and not opinions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'd say npm itself probably use npm packages internally? What if they were already compromised through this flaw to avoid these red flags from popping up?

The attacker might be monitoring their logs, selectively silencing version clashes. Heck, it's even possible they now have backdoor access to do whatever they want to any package.

I know it's cynical thinking, but this vulnerability was unbelievable and the way they're handling is definitely not reassuring, from my personal standpoint.
I don't see how ES6' features remove the need for frameworks. And the "implementing fingerprinting in React is hard" point makes little sense. That's wholly independent of the view layer.

New browser APIs do remove the need for libs for DOM manipulation, date, time, and price formatting, etc.

ES6 makes many things so much nicer to write.

But beyond those primitives, there's little there to replace a framework.
There is coverage in other national media https://news.sky.com/story/amazon-to-reject-customer-payment...

But additionally I use the +servicename trick on Amazon, and the email was delivered to me at jack+amazon@myemail. If it’s phishing it’s incredibly well done as it came from the source to the recipients used by the source
I had to resort to cancelling a card once too, but it didn’t fix the problem. My Credit Card Provider (Barclaycard) implemented the Visa Account Updater service with no way to turn it off so my new card details went straight to the merchant.

Ended up cancelling the account I was so frustrated, lost a customer of 10 years.

> Instead of giving someone just enough permissions to spend my money, I give them permissions to spend all of it

A peeve of mine is that the trust-until-a-screwup system is used in far more critical places than with a credit card. For instance, "DOT certification" of tires has no paper trail until people die.

If a tire fails while operating within its speed regime and before five years from manufacture, then it is to be reported to the DOT (US Department of Transportation). This usually only happens if the police are reporting on a fatal accident - most common citizens neither know that this option exists nor how to report it. If enough reports of a specific brand or type of tire come in, then the manufacturer (or importer) must provide proof of the testing done and pay some fines.

Many of the cheap Chinese tires are out of business (read: have changed business names) far before this critical last step could ever be reached, assuming that any reports were filed at all.
Nah it’s not. Most big tech companies optimize for having multiple devs be able to work simultaneously on different projects, which usually is orthogonal to build time (lots of potentially redundant code, lots of libraries that are split up). Is it slow for a single dev project? 100%, but it’s pretty reasonable for a larger company. Last I heard FB’s app took like 30+ minutes to cold start build.
I think like he said, it is all trust. Without trust, people are wary of your motivations. When you are in that position, having the people you don't trust do things like promote the narrative of "trust science" just looks like they are using scientists as mouthpieces to co-opt their trust to push a narrative. Moderating misinformation looks like censorship, mandates look like coercion, etc.

Overall it was just a colossal failure of communication by policy makers, who had already eroded most of their trust before the pandemic, which then got exacerbated by contemporary journalism that felt like it had no qualms about making everything as divisive as possible for engagement.

I don't think people have lost trust in science, but politicians using "science" in this way of communication are doing a pretty good job of trying to erode that trust.
ES6 was specified years ago, but it's not available everywhere. That's why we still use bundlers/transpilers. We're getting to the point now in browsers and Node where all of ES6 works without a compile step. Mainly because IE is finally, properly dead.
Thanks for sharing, looks really nice.

As someone noted, the ability to export is essential, in my view. After all, it's your tool, but the data/info is mine.

Speaking of data, I often share notes between devices using Pushbullet. I imagine Luckynote can act as a replacement in this sense. However, Pushbullet is E2E encrypted -- again, something essential for me since some of these notes are rather private -- but I didn't see any information about this on your site.

EDIT: I stand corrected, there is some info here: https://luckynote.io/privacy

"Both AWS and Cloudinary encrypt your data in transit using HTTPS and encrypts your data at rest."

One should expect nothing less than HTTPS, but encrypting data at rest is not as good as end-to-end encryption, as much as I understand about it. With E2E encryption, the server never has access to decrypted data, for example.
Hm the main content of a scientists life in my experience is really not measured by mainstream media appearances. And if anything, he is probably more known now than before [0], so even in the sense of crude 'celebrity status', he saw a net gain.

No, if you are not a doctor your opinion on any of this doesn't matter at all, it's that simple.

Probability dictates that any doctor - let alone most doctors' - opinion trumps yours and everybody else that parrots you, because they will be right far more often than you about medical things.

You may be better at interpreting the statistics than your doctor friends but you are not better at medicine, are not wired into their world as much as they are and in fact are most likely blabbing nonsense.

You can stand by your comments but that just proves my original point: that you consider your own opinion to be a higher one than someone trained in the field that you have an opinion on. See your other comment in this thread regarding how medicine prescription works, it doesn't but that isn't going to stop you from being convinced and it would not surprise me if you felt that that doctor is making an argument from authority.

Suggestion: assume that you are a layperson in medicine, act accordingly. And go get vaccinated if you haven't been already, and ask your doctor if they thinks that's a good idea, rather than to believe me, yet another stranger on the internet.
It’s not just the “jumping between files” that takes longer.

It is also mentally computing the “CSS cascade” to determine the final rules for a given DOM element, and keeping in mind all classes that apply.

The dev tools often cannot save styles back to your source code when you use a build step.

Even if I get my file switch down to 16ms, it is 16ms more than 0.

If I can view the JSX and see all the final styles on the element or on a nearby parent, it results in a faster feedback loop.

I am not for or against Tailwind, as I have mentioned this directness causes a lot of classes on single elements which can be hard to read later, but is often faster to edit whilst you are writing it.
This is the trouble with submitting to OS conferences. Their networking knowledge is typically limited. I’ve seen the same thing happen in the past.
there are movements in place for both. the Temporal proposal will add date libraries to the language. and Type Syntax ignoring (types are just skipped at runtime so you dont have to transpile) is in the works.

what you need to consider is what qualifies for being in the language in the first place. Having a small core lets JS be usable in all sorts of contexts, like embedded devices and "stored procedures" of auth and database systems. every thing you add is irreversible and globally piles on requirements to everywhere JS is used.

the solution you ACTUALLY need to solve the OP's question is to add to the DOM/Browser APIs, not to JavaScript. Aka, web components (which have their own problems but i dont have the energy to get into right now)
If I understand your scenario, it is pretty silly anyways and probably meant as a checkbox to tick for procurement to agree to purchase Office 365.

It does not make sense to me to say I can view a document but not download it. If I can view a document, I can do screen capture. I think this used to be called the analog hole or something.
Absolutely not. Ivermectin, like other antiparasitic drugs has a wealth of metabolic side effects making uncontrolled administration quite dangerous.
Yeah, I live in Sweden now too.

I think Sweden is the exception here really though (and the other Scandinavian countries, and possibly the UK).

>Everyone I know, me included, just uses debit cards for purchases everywhere including Amazon.

This is just as anecdotal as GP or indeed myself. I never use a debit card and don't know anybody that uses them other than for getting cash out of an ATM
When I'm writing a C program I can somehow depend on only one library for password hashing and one for oauth (maybe two if it also needs curl). In javascript land it's probably a couple dozen, probably from a couple dozen different people.
I mean I live in the lower mainland and I know exactly 0 people who have personally experienced any damage or loss. Given that I have friends all over the Lower Mainland and Interior BC and family up and down Vancouver Island it’s a decent sample size.

I have empathy for those who are going through hell right now but I’m just pointing out that your assessment of “nearly everyone” is way off base.
I haven't read the whole doc but does it take into account stress or factors that lead to stress?

For example, money problems, dangerous job, working in toxic environments etc.

I reckon we don't put enough "science" into working out the life-extending properties of a non-toxic job and a health bank balance.

FWIW I was diagnosed in September as having stable angina. I eat really healthy, don't smoke or drink, no family history of heart issues, and all my blood work was great. However, I have been under immense stress for the last two years to the point of sleepless nights etc (won't go into the details).

I am convinced it's stress that did it!

Edit: I'm fixed now btw :)
This is not an improvement, it's basically saying you don't need to worry about Mothra because Godzilla will turn up to save us. Ignoring those who get trampled under the fighting behemoths.
It would be a fallacy to say "this argument is necessarily true because an authority claimed it was so", but it isn't a fallacy to say "this authority in this subject claimed it was so and it far more probable that they know what they are talking about than you, who are not an authority in this subject."
Maybe they are storing it plain-text and it causes them issues like variable substitution in some database backup or management scripts.
Is this just clickbait? In what way does syntactic sugar and and a few language features replace a full fledged framework that unifies teams around project structure, data handling, routing, caching strategies, any many more elements.
I subscribe to Der Spiegel (German weekly news magazine) and as far as I can tell it can’t be cancelled without e-mailing them.

This is unfortunate because although I can read German, I can’t write or speak it, so figuring out how to write that e-mail would be a headache.

Edit: Thanks to aboalarm.de, which I learned about from this thread, I have learned the correct formula to use:

> Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

>

> hiermit kündige ich mein oben genanntes Abonnement Ihrer Zeitschrift fristgerecht zum nächstmöglichen Zeitpunkt.

so if I do ever decide to cancel, this thread has been quite useful.
>In turn I tried to keep the code as simple as possible, with only necessary abstractions.

I always talked the talk and walked the walk for the interviews. I know people love Solid, design patterns, Dry, OOP, Restful, Clean Code, complicated architectures. So I am always willing to talk about these and even sprinkle the discussion with the most obscure design patterns they may never heard of.

Yes, I do consider some of these being fads or even detrimental to good software but my goal was to be employed, not to convince people that there is not only one True Way.
I’m a bit “on the spectrum.”

That means that, while writing code, I can go into what I term a “fugue state.” Hours can pass, and I barely notice.

This has one fairly visible artifact: My GH Activity Graph is almost solid green.

When I come out of this state, I am done. Totally exhausted. Not sore, like I was working out, but definitely physically tired.

I sleep well, those nights.
Well, I think the “line of thinking” against frameworks and framework-y libraries is presented fairly well in the article: bloat, performance issues, debugging difficulties, steep learning curve, niche use, deprecation, and maintainability. You may disagree with one or more of those points, but I don’t think you’ve offered a strong rebuttal.
Yeah, the browser fingerprinting example told a lot about the knowledge this person has on React. Doesn't make any sense as an example.

I'd also like to know how they imagine rendering complex DOM structures. It's still a nightmare to do with just Javascript. Without at least Preact or Vue, as the smallest options, it's just tedious and complex.
This article makes a pretty poor case. My company uses and loves Ember.js. We're not using it because classes or modules are hard without it. Ember offers great built-in solutions for routing, writing componentized reusable code, and robust testing. It has its infamous "learning curve", but we've hired numerous developers with React and Angular experience who have been able to start instantly working with it while learning Ember specific features along the way.

Frameworks are quite sensible things to use in a large variety of situations. If you're building a large enterprise application, a framework can provide a lot of stability, a large ecosystem and resources that rolling your own can't provide.
Portugal is logical on some stuff.

Another example is prostitution is legal but you can only advertise yourself. I wonder what other countries have prostitution set up like this.

Or the speed traps that just trigger a red light.

Decriminalization of all drugs obviously too.
This is a blogger who took time out of their day to do this. Why do you have to be catered to to be convinced? The blogger didn't produce any new data, it was already there, you chose to ignore it, or rather, picked something else to be convinced by.

It's not bullying or "talking down to" to simply ignore bullshit, it's effective use of your time.
This was 10 years ago, it definitely wasn't possible by phone call back then.

Hopefully it'll get better. I also had a terrible experience with Vodafone in the UK, charging the higher rates for data usage with no warning.
If you think ivermectin works then you are essentially disqualified because as the article linked here nicely explains there are some hypothesis about how it might work if it works but there is no proof, in which case the medical establishment would be all over it, because they too want this pandemic to end asap.

Whether they could make more profit off this probably factors for some people but on the whole the medical profession is result driven.
That's not outrageous at all. Your failure to pay doesn't invalidate your contract that you will pay for their services.

It's definitely frustrating to cancel, and this is a good ruling that will help make it easier, but it's still your responsibility to do so.
Can you give more details? What area are you looking in? What experience level? Remote/in person? Do you have any networks?
> I asked him about his decision-making, and he listed a combination of serious statistical errors and small red flags adding up. I was pretty uncomfortable with most of these studies myself, so I will err on the side of severity, and remove all studies that either I or Dr. Meyerowitz-Katz disliked

From further up, though we don't _quite_ know the details, but it's not like he went "Oh well some random person disagrees with them so better throw them out"
Where do I get other ppls configs? Maybe my problem is I do not know any Emacs power users.

Why WireGuard? (2020)
> Perhaps because bank transfer is very developed in the UK, and wire transfers could totally replace credit cards, with lower fees?

Or, you know, Visa debit cards? Amazon don't actually let you pay with Faster Payments or direct debit AFAIK? And you can't wire transfer money you don't have, which is the whole point of a credit card in the first place.

No, this is going to be something weird about credit.
Ask HN: Will Invoicing mobile app and Netsuite integration work?
We built an Invoicing & Inventory app for Small Businesses. I'm aware Netsuite is usually preferred by large businesses. Do startups or small businesses use Netsuite? If we could integrate our mobile app to netsuite will it be helpful for SMB? Please share your thoughts.
Those have existed in Germany for a long time. I got one, but canceled it after using up the 50€ they gave me because the banking interface of their partner was atrocious.
"Listen to science!" is ironically a profoundly unscientific statement.
That's only for cross-border transactions between the EU and UK, and as the article says Mastercard is doing the same thing as well. I know there was a lot of speculation on social media that this was to blame but there's a lot of social media misinformation whenever someone finds a way to blame anything on Brexit... (Also, in practice people were getting ripped off by banks on the exchange rates for those cross-border transactiopns anyway. A lot of these EU measures require being part of the Euro to get the full benefit, and the UK isn't because we'd likely have gone the way of Italy and Greece if we joined.)
You mean you believe that a widespread administration of ivermectin would lead to development of ivermectin resistance in parasites?
I've always had it included in the BRF or rental agreement. Only 28 Mb/s mind...
It is mind blowing that in 2021 we have a payment system collecting a fairly big percentage of the economy's output.

I don't know for sure, but 2% over revenue could easily be about what the government collects in corporate taxes derived from that revenue.
Yes, but it is hard to find teams who are not into abstracting for abstracting sake.

Same with American Express. I couldn't believe that such a well known brand whose entire value proposition is great customer service has a "call to cancel" process. I hope it dies.
