Neither worse nor better. Just different form of corruption. Term limits is not a good way to fight corruption.

The Democrats held the House of Representatives for something like 40 years straight until 1994. You had famous scandals involving entrenched Democratic Congressmen. In 1994 Republicans made term limits a rallying point and they took over the House. Both parties have since jostled for control of the House. But when Republicans had the power they did not impose term limits. It’s just a rallying point and will do nothing to stop corruption. There may be good reasons for term limits but anti-corruption isn’t one of them.
A few more mass shootings? HA! A few more at this point would be like a raindrop in the ocean. It's obvious that's not a factor for anyone with any real political/legislative power here.
Surprised at the negative comments already. I'm not sure half of the commenters use React on a daily basis. I've re-written these same hooks in various ways, as well as used ones written by others. This look great to me, personally! I've been using a weird implementation of useReducer() (most commonly suggested on SO) but extendState() is a more elegant solution.

Couple suggestions:

* the repetition of "read" `const [ readRequest, requestRead ] = usePromise(read)` makes it hard for me to keep these things separate. It would be easier if you had a real life example, like "get users" or something but even somethin like `const [ apiState, fetchApiState ] = usePromise( apiRequest )` would be better IMO.

* `readRequest.cancel` - sometimes I've wanted to cancel a request but it's not an error to show the user, but it looks like the view wouldn't be able to tell the difference from a regular http error

* `readRequest.reset(`error`)` could be another way to just reset a single property, instead of having to use brackets

* uh where is the code for the hooks? A direct link to code or even a library would be great
> Public space alcohol consumption is one of the weirdest metrics I’ve seen to gauge freedom.

How so? It seems to me that the people's ability to use and enjoy public spaces as they fit (of course unless they intrude on other people's freedom) is at the very heart of what I consider freedom.

> And of course, you’re free to drink privately.

And of course you're free to express your opinion privately, at home, when no one's listening. See the problem with that kind of 'freedom'?
The sad faсt is that given Apple' track record even not interfering might be considered by some as help, let alone adding specific features for people who reverse engineer their hardware.

I'd say harassment falls into this category, so no proof of collusion with the CCP is needed.
centralizing as in when you setState({ a: true }), you also think "wait a minute is having a `state.b` still makes sense, now that "a" is `true`", maybe it should be setState({ a: true, b: null })

> It's not mutable during the render function

I don't think that's the point at all when people talk about mutability. To me mutability is just a proxy for "lacking access control", which again goes back to the point about centralizing state updates. So arguing about the technicality of what is mutable and what is not is pointless.
I mean if they provide you with separate laptop and all required software I don't see much harm in this.
I think there are absolutely a list of things that I don't want the company doing on my hardware, but I'm okay with on their hardware.

Off the top of my head, remote wipes/resets make sense. Frankly, I prefer the company has that option, just in case I lose my work laptop. Encryption should cover it, but I'll take the backup.

Compliance agents also have a legitimate reason to exist, but I don't want them on my personal PC. Some places maintain lists of allowed software (I think in part so they can track/inventory them for compliance stuff). I respect that they have the right to restrict what I install on my work laptop, but I reserve the right to install whatever I please on my own computer.

It would also not be insane for a company to do automated backups of company laptops to company servers. You want a way for Joe in marketing to get his data back when his cat pees on his laptop. I do not want all my personal documents on company servers.
Because it's a ponzi scheme that will probably end up getting to the "too big to fail" stage before the music stops. All of these new blockchain schemes like ICOs, NFTs and web3 are just a way to recruit new segments of the population into the crypto universe in order to pump up the value of crypto currencies.

I have friends who are artists and musicians who completely drank the koolaid and are convinced that NFTs and web3 will liberate them from poverty. They will repeat all of the talking points about blockchains but have no idea what a database is. I ask them to show me a web3 website and they can't name one, show me someone they know who buys NFTs and they can't name any.

Here are some recent quotes from one of my friends:

"crypto is fairly new it’s quantum mechanics as well."

"NFTs make you a shareholder"

"yeah the Internet didn’t exist until people applied concepts to it as well. blockchain is a system where new concepts can exist on the Internet. "

"the meta data you're able to embed can be anything now so creators can make any type of art. whereas before it was just mp3 or MP4 but now u can monetize any type of digital content"

"You can protect your music or visual via an NFT and control the royalty split "

"Having the ability to retain royalties to creators is a feature we’ve never had we can sell links to exclusive bonus content, recipes, any idea whereas u post it on reg social media and it’s unprotected w no protection "

When I was younger and lived in California, people had Thomas Guide maps. These were the best. As a pizza delivery dude in college, it made it pretty simple to find a house/apartment. And it didn't require batteries etc. Now it wasn't as easy as an iPhone with maps built in, but it wasn't like it was impossible.
I haven't had any scams, and I've done maybe 100 orders from there. I've had some things that are crap, and not worth the effort of returning, but that's significantly true with Amazon too. I originally started using them for ordering electronic parts, and eventually also started getting household goods there. Things do often take a few weeks to arrive though.

Have you actually read and thought about these bills, beyond the anti-anti-CRT hysteria? There's a difference between teaching about the history of racism/slavery in the US and doing so in a way that singles out and blames modern white people and white culture. These bills are effectively a response to the overt demonization of "whiteness" that has been increasingly en vogue in our academic (and other) institutions over the last few years. They absolutely do not prevent teaching of history, and are anti-discriminatory - because people have suddenly decided that belonging to an arbitrarily defined majority or "dominant" culture somehow makes you immune from discrimination.

No one should be made to feel guilty for the color of their skin, for the sins of others who looked like them in the past, and that includes white people. The hysteria over these bills is ironically steeped in anti-white racism. It comes from the same place as the diversity seminars where whites are explicitly being asked to apologize for their whiteness.

This is a silly, shamefully obvious straw man. No one is saying “Americans uniquely shouldn’t have to parse other countries’ laws”, the argument is “it’s ruggedly impractical for ordinary citizens of any country to parse the laws of other countries”.
Perhaps the answer is more ignorance. I doubt most of the political groups any of us worries about is actually as large and as ill-intentioned as we imagine, but rather than have no idea we always know just enough to feel in danger. Feeling in danger, we seek to control first and understand later, and that makes our political neighbours feel threatened, and so it goes until the centre cannot hold.

Perhaps the paradox of tolerance requires a deliberate agnosticism about how people unlike us live, a turning away from information that would turn us reactionary if we only had part of it. That used to be the default in an era of slow communication, but it could be cultivated deliberately if it's what's needed.

> The Asahi Linux project is basically free labor that makes the M1 Macs more appealing to consumers.

Nope. The number of people who would buy an M1 Mac solely if they can run Linux on it is tiny. Incredibly so. Apple sells over 20 million of these things a year, they’re not looking at a few thousand people who want native asahi Linux as a product center.
You know what sucks is that I'm currently with a similar midsize tech company. Love the work, the company and the people; but, I also know that I'm probably only getting a 2-5% bump at the end of this year and if I want anything more I have to go looking for another gig.

It sucks that every job has a "lifespan" of only 2-3 years before it would be foolish not to go get another job for a massive pay bump. As much as I love my current employer I'll probably leave sometime in 22"

She was not visiting from China, she literally had been in Europe for more than a decade, and still.

Everyone is like how having Asahi makes Apple more profit, so it makes sense in a business sense, e.g... but am I the only person thinking that this is probably just one or two core kernel engineers just feeling good someday and decided to provide this to Asahi? I don't think the high-level people would really know that these changes even existed...
Hopefully the exposure to foreign professionals will lead to a decrease in xenophobia. So I think it's the other way around. It's not that there are fewer foreigners there because of right wing politics, but the right wing politics are flourishing because there are fewer foreigners (add to that the economic after-effects of the GDR that are still lingering more than 30 years later).
This is what-about-ism. I am surprised you didn't mention that we are less free to smoke in public places!

Here's the thing: Laws about where you can smoke and drink vary from place to place in the US but in every part of them you are free to complain about them. The laws were passed by elected officials. You can start a petition to change them. You can run for mayor on the platform of changing the rules about where you can smoke or drink.

I agree that it is a sad commentary that many Americans don't know about the Tulsa race riot. Yet here we are discussing it. A popular TV show in the US (The Watchmen) depicted it quite graphically. Could those things happen with Tiananmen Square in China?
I like Redux because it's portable—you can easily rip it out of a React project and use it anywhere—and because it provides a really nice way to separate backend-talking-stuff from frontend-rendering-stuff, if you're dividing up dev tasks. Nice clean place to split off a library for whatever service(s) you're consuming.

And with Typescript, it's not a bit unpleasant to work with.

Thanks, the text below is consistent with BMJ article:

> He said private hospitals reported that most patients were unvaccinated and many were initially admitted for non-covid-related illnesses. There was less evidence of respiratory infections in omicron-infected patients, compared with the other variants, with fewer patients requiring oxygen, Noach added.

and hospitalization is down across the board, even before the additional benefit of vaccination:

> Adults are experiencing a 29% lower admission risk relative to South Africa’s first wave of infection, dominated by D614G, in early 2020. Furthermore, hospitalised adults currently have a lower propensity to be admitted to high-care and intensive-care units, relative to prior waves.”
OBS is willing to work with TikTok to get them into compliance. That would either mean open-sourcing the software or paying for a license.
People expecting OBS to get millions from this are naïve. Almost certainly TikTok will change the software to just use OBS independently to avoid the issue.

If OBS wants money they should use a dual license.
Sorry, I didn't mean to imply that the branch is named for the JIRA ticket. I personally like to have the ticket number in the branch name along with a description though. It was more that each ticket branch is for a small chunk of work that can be merged and deployed when a single ticket is complete not when the whole feature is complete.

You're getting to a fundamental issue that separates Bitcoin from other chains which strive to push and hold more data on chain: there is no efficient pricing mechanism to host data. What this means is that putting any data on chain at all is either expensive, or limited by hard code. The issue is that the data stays on chain forever yet without any 'rent' associated to it, therefore space is limited or cost is poorly estimated up front (or compromises on decentralization like sharding occur).

Bitcoin doesn't technically solve this either, its just that its data growth rate is small enough to be trivial in comparison to storage costs. Ethereum and other classical distributed ledger systems cannot fulfill the true vision of Web3 (it can and will continue to do a fraction of that vision) because they have no affectual economic functions for data rent or data handling in general. Mining/staking is paid for and everything else is an economic after-thought. Ethereum's Infura Problem is a quick way to see the consequences of these poorly suited economic incentives.

Bitcoin is about stability, but Web3 is about data, so I believe its fair to say that a distributed ledger technology built for "Web3" (which is quickly becoming a dirty word) will have its economic components focused on data. This is different from keeping the traditional Nakamoto Consensus (which judges value based on somewhat arbitrary measures) but deriving tricks to push more data - this means maintaining or exceeding the security guarantees of Nakamoto Consensus while incentivizing data routing-work and storage rather than number crunching.
Maybe overwhelming was too strong, but I don't see many people getting excited about building new projects with Redux any more. Presumably some proportion of that 1/3 are stuck on Redux, unwillingly?

I like (and use) Redux on a daily basis, and I don't think it's a sensible choice for lots of React apps. Maybe the overwhelming rejection that I've witnessed is people discovering that they used it for stuff they shouldn't have.

They wouldn't want that if they knew how the cloud works, true. But it seems marketing did a great job at convincing people their new shiny tech product is trustworthy and pure magic.

A lot of people already use their phone/tablet as their "PC". I don't think it'll be the majority in the foreseeable future, but appstores cover a lot of use-cases and are supported by all mainstream services. And for some the smartphone/tablet is the first and maybe only contact with a computer. It runs Fortnite, so what more do you need? ;)

That’s a feature, which rhymes with the author’s argument: that there are politics and that people decide norms, and whether or not you agree with the decisions, having immutable code just go ahead and enforce/permit/control whatever is a dystopia that we should not want.

The school district where we reside announced there have been no credible threats according to local law enforcement and thus are continuing business as usual.

Personally, I think it's less that children are learning to organize at scale and more that districts and teachers are put in powerless positions to effectively deal with the problems as they arise. While I'm not advocating, at all, for physical retaliation, it seems that districts are far more tolerant of abhorrent behavior than they should be. Expulsion should be a readily available tool for those who commit property damage, physical intimidation and/or harm, and other serious violations. Too often districts have to resort to in-house suspensions to deal with behavioral issues and we all know how effective that has become.

The many should not suffer the consequences for the few.
Also, CRT has probably never been taught in an American K-12 public school. It's an academic subject you would only encounter at a university in a very specific field of study.
