> hooks and functional components have become the standard

Now if only the React ecosystem settled on standards too, that would be wonderful.

But alas. There is flux, redux, mobx, hooks, routes, sagas, thunk, observable, styled components, emotion, tailwind, react-antd, axios, fetch and so on and so forth. Edit: on top of, obviously, webpacker, grunt, npm, yarn etc.

Contrary to e.g. Rails, none of these come with React. You'll need to organize it all yourself (or go with something as react-boilerplate). You'll need at least some of these pieces to have something workable very early on. Things like redux or saga are not some "we've grown out of vanilla React and need additional tooling", they are essential to do things that practically every app needs: pages, communication with a backend, some styling, some consistency and deploying it to a public server.
In the case of the shoes, you'd be free to resale the shoes, its the reservation getting resold, kind of like ticket scalping. But your point still stands, it could be abused to where you own nothing.
Somehow managed to avoid like 5 of these memecoin rugpulls last year. Memecoins are a clown casino, but the memetic dynamics fascinate me.

The right core meme can be a catalyst for compounding user generated content growth. Look for memecoins with community growth metrics that look exponential, make sure the tokenomics are safe, and hold on for dear life.

For me, DogeBonk and perhaps one or two other memecoins have the community growth and memetic qualities to be exponential. So long as there’s no rug.

I think the core point isn't about coherence, but tradeoffs. Some tests are not worth holding onto: ones that are slow, flaky, and test code that is of marginal importance. In those cases, the ideal tradeoff can be to delete the test. Perhaps to rewrite a better one, or perhaps to just 'eat' the risk incurred by removing it in favor of improved iteration times and the other long term benefits of not having to maintain it.
This is it, right here. No one gets a pass, even something that is largely a hobby.
How could Smooth Love Potion have failed us?

Which brings up my other point, that people know the risks they are taking. Casinos are still legal. Someone that yolos their life savings into Smooth Love Potion was going to lose it some other way. If you don’t know your 100% apy isn’t sustainable in a DeFi ponzi, that’s on you.
It's a big tradeoff for maintenance complexity and cognitive load though, and people often don't realize how big that tradeoff is. Chasing bugs and maintaining the spiderweb of network connections between all your services can quickly become a nightmare. A distributed ball of mud instead of a monolithic ball of mud, but a ball of mud nonetheless.

Personally I lean towards building a monolith first, then breaking out features into separate services if you need it. But I've worked on teams that advocated for microservices needlessly, and it was 100% cargo cult behavior: "Netflix does it, so we should too."

Another anecdote: my current company, a startup, could've launched its product a year earlier than it did, but our engineering lead insisted on pre-engineering a Rube Goldberg machine of a microservices backend before we even had any prospective customers. Took months of engineering time and headaches to grok all of it, when in reality, one monolith and a basic database could've done the job for years before we'd ever have to scale past that.

But microservices architecture looks great on a resume, so /shrug
I am of the opinion that high birthrates are almost entirely a function of women’s financial independence. Childbirth/breastfeeding is such a costly experience for most women that I doubt many would opt for it more than 2 or 3 times if they had an option by not being dependent on men and/or access to easy and effective birth control.

Andrew Yang has the right idea. We need to break the duopoly by implementing Ranked-Choice Voting and Nonpartisan Primaries.

No, it is not trustless, it simply shifts trust from central authorities to more nebulous entities such as anonymous developers, shady mining cartels, unregulated exchanges, and even yourself to not lose your private keys. Which you consider to be better is essentially a political decision.

What I hadn't realised (due to not having thought heavily about it) is that it's NOT just about the amount of ice melting that threatens sea levels, but the weight and location of the ice before it melts.

The Antarctic landmass is weighed down by millions of tons of ice, and when (if?) that melts in significant amounts, the land will rise up due to no longer having that frozen mass on top of it. This will cause even more water to be displaced as Antarctica becomes much bigger, and higher than the current 'sea level'. Like throwing pebbles in a cup, this causes the overall sea-level to rise, in addition to the impact the melted ice has.

There is no such thing as Level-3 Autonomy, the car can either drive itself safely or not.

A slow moving lane of cars is a dangerous environment where things can turn catastrophic in an instant, with zero time to react for a human driver reading their news. Bikes and motorcycles come out of nowhere and pass you between the lanes. Pedestrians and children will attempt to cross the road, encouraged by the apparent slow speed. You will not see them since your view is blocked by close large vehicles. The same for essential signs and signaling. Slow moving can turn to fast moving intermittently and frustrated drivers will unexpectedly go full throttle to cut in front of you. You might find yourself suddenly stranded in the middle of an intersection with lateral trafic. Trafic is slow because your lane is blocked by construction, which requires carefully observing the human readable cues of the drivers in the other lanes, which might yield to you or not. All manner of bad things can and will happen with a scary probability.

If an automated car can handle all that safely without reverting to human assistance, what exactly can't it handle, and why is it not full self driving?

The 3 and 4 SAE levels were always a dangerous fiction, they imply you can bring to market uncomplete products that take some part of the human effort. This is simply not how the minds of human drivers works: if drivers lose focus to the road they can't regain it instantly in a fraction of a second when prompted by the failing AI algorithm. A half- self driving car is a defective product that is bound to kill someone, regulators should reject any products short of real self driving.

There's so much to it that it's easy to get lost. I don't even care for the "deep math" parts of it, it has _so many_ APIs for real-world data that "plain old exploration" is super-fun with it.

It'll also be great for anyone looking for "creative coding" (typically Processing.js etc is used for this), since the Graphics abilities are so quick and easy.

It has "a different shape" w.r.t. the languages and tools that are commonly used for programming, but it is a beast.

Symbolic math in matlab is vastly inferior to Mathematica, and the deep learning and reinforcement learning toolboxes are vastly inferior to the offerings in python.

However for control system design or digital signal processing I think matlab is superior to both, I also think the matlab IDE is severely underated.

These are just from my experiences, I’m sure each of these languages have other applications where they are superior to the other too.

I also speak with privilege as someone who has access to all these packages for free so..

You are judging a response that is motivated by "abundance of caution" with zero limiting principle. They don't trust the South African data (in my opinion this is old fashioned bigotry by rich governments towards government agencies they view as being inferior in poorer countries) even though everything the South Africans has said for weeks has turned out be correct.

Bureaucrats aren't incentivized to do anything but minimize their own risk, with no regard to other factors like creating a panic.

It was blatantly obvious to those of us who give a shit about India (not the myopic, inward focused US media) in February that the delta variant was horribly dangerous based on what the doctors in India were saying. But in South Africa, we're ignoring their doctors and pretending like we're superior, and are the only ones capable of collecting and analyzing data in Excel.

My prediction:

Omicron will turn out to not increase hospitalizations (only cases, which don't really matter anymore with 90% of senior citizens being vaccinated), the media will focus on the cases, and the percentage of people who think the authorities/media are untrustworthy will go up even more than it already has. This is really really bad. I live in a county in Colorado with a mask mandate. It's a suburban, blue county. Heavily blue. And the mask mandate is universally ignored. That wasn't happening earlier in 2021. It is now, and it's very noticeable. They don't trust the authorities anymore, and this will make that worse.
>> Do you have valid reasons for thinking corruption of Senators or Representatives would be less with term limits?

I like to think people's terms limit would be reached before they get jaded and cynical..

Someone that might think $100K in lobbyist money isn't worth the risk of repercussions, might think $1M (over time) is.

Unless there are more pandemics and wars that intervene. This pandemic has killed an estimated 10-12 million people, according to the Economist. I think we are perhaps 80% of the way to an endemic with successive mutations becoming less and less lethal, so perhaps the true death toll is in the 15-20 million range. Any large scale war between nation-states can have a pretty high death toll if things escalate out of control. How much could that be? And how would that affect future population growth?

This is without taking into account decreasing sperm counts of men in developed countries and excess deaths due to air pollution in developing countries.
Well for certain cultures 1 and I were literally the same.

That same culture also I believe didn't have lower case. Some brief searching brings me to some articles that show Latin lowercase came from monks/scholars under early French King Charlemagne.

I guess if you're a monk manually recopying texts, simpler forms are better, even if some forms look like other forms.

And it's definitely simpler/quicker to rout out a single stroke for I rather than give it the top and bottom lines.

Agreed on Axie. Disagree on NFT.

NFT is art (VERY LOOSE COMPARISON). If you believe that then of course there is TONS of art that not only has zero bids but also never gets sold. I think NFTs are overhyped now but there is clearly a market for them. Speculating on them is similar to art collecting, all speculative.

In this case, I definitely interpreted it as "baked into PinePhone" like the commenter.

There's multiple dialects of CSV. Besides the more standardish dialect there are some weird ones that prevent some types of optimization. I remember Apple's "Enterprise Partner Feed" had a dialect I've never seen elsewhere so far. Columns were separated by 0x01, rows were separated by 0x02 0x0A.

The row separator being two bytes throws a wrench in most parsers.
Some time ago I was working as first mate on a ship ostensibly for civilian transportation, but most of the business was spent as a shipping company. The long haul freighter that was the core of the business was maybe 60-70 years old, and we rode it hard. Often it would break down in transit, and we'd have to make unscheduled stops for repair. The ship used analog computers to control propulsion and navigation, and the damn compressor was constantly on the fritz. Once we took on a ragged pair of passengers at a backwater port, an old man with a snot-nosed kid. When they got to the hanger, the boy says, "what a piece of junk," and the captain explained "she may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid."
This just sounds like you defined “value” to mean “something only living things do and that machines don’t do”, and then said the reason machines can’t learn is because they can’t value. Seems like circular reasoning. I think if you’re putting humans, chimps, ducks, and caterpillars in the category “can value”, machines still belong on that axis. They’re far below caterpillar for now, but they’re there.
It’s easy not to have sympathy because these folks are the ones railing against the banks and the government and the establishment and police - confident they don’t need them because they’re all in on a system the vast majority doesn’t understand the first thing about. But they’ll demean and criticize anyone who suggests their magic free money machine might not be all it’s cracked up to be. They’ve been warned so many times. Like the anti-vaxxers turning to ivermectin. It’s honestly just an episode of r/WinStupidPrizes.

Even now they’re rationalizing - US banks offer 0% interest and took $12B in overdraft! See how much worse that is? Well except the $12B is out of $18T in assets so DeFi hacks cost 1400X as much per user.

In fact 10% of all TVL in DeFi was stolen this year. That means if you’re not making a 7% return for inflation and a 10% return for risk loss, you’re losing money in real risk adjusted dollar terms invested in DeFi. 17% APR in DeFi is equal to 0% in real dollar terms.
That's what we're thinking about currently, but we lack capital and ideas.
