I believe React is inherently terrible, rather than your reason. I think all libraries that try to abstract an underlying technology into something that it is not, and then also have to provide escape clauses for the abstraction because the user actually has to know how the underlying stuff works, are inherently broken. I also think state-based reactivity is a terrible way to reason about things because sometimes you don't want a certain part of the state to participate in the reactivity, and then at another time you do, so you have to add another state variable to say when it is OK for the other state variable to start participating in the state. It just isn't a good way to create algorithms.

The whole idea of React performing a bunch of tasks in the background and updating everything when it feels like is just all a bunch of silly magic. In fact, my state of JavaScript 2021 would be pretty damning, but because of the libraries used instead of JavaScript (like React and TypeScript), not because of JavaScript.

React presents a simple view of the world, but in doing so, you now have no idea what is actually happening, and you need to know that. This isn't like an array in JavaScript that is abstraction of an array in c that needs memory allocated and new arrays created and so on. You don't need to know how that works other than that the JavaScript version is a bit slower and you accept that. You need to know how all of the stuff React hides actually works to create your program.

In terms of hooks, there are so many "rules". Instead of seeing an API, the API is moved into the documentation and not visible in the code until run-time when you get one of the many errors like not adding a dependency to a hook, using a hook outside of some specific area, etc, etc. It isn't JavaScript at all, so you no longer have the tools of the language to freely use to make your life easier.
It depends. Most famous people in tech aren't going to answer easily Googleable questions from a 20-year-old (or a 40 year old) But if you've got a genuine reason to be asking them, they respond more frequently than you'd think.

I wanted to use a purported quote from Maurice Wilkes that I couldn't track down a citation for in the introduction to my PhD thesis, so I emailed him. He must have been well into his eighties by that point. I got a very helpful reply and was able to use the quotation, properly cited (as well as add a "Wilkes, personal communication" to my citation list, which still makes me smile).
React by itself is quite simple, but precisely because it's so simple a lot of third-party libraries have cropped up to fill out the gaps. I'm not sure if other ecosystems are really simpler, or if the complexity is just spread out differently… At least with React you have the option of not buying into Redux/GraphQL/etc. if you don't want to.
It's quickly becoming Papa Musk at this point in time though. Jobs was 5-10 years ago.
If you ran a simulation, the kingdoms in a region can constantly plunder each other or cooperate (trade).

A region where only plundering dominated would be perpetually reset to square 1.

The wealth of ancient India or China can be attributed to the fact that trade was a dominant force, though that does not rule out conflicts between kingdoms.

The Hindu rules of war explicitly rules out destruction of civilian assets or scorched earth strategies, something quite the norm in other parts of the world. This is true in modern warfare, a big difference between modern states and the likes of ISIS.

It's always driven by hype, or maybe groupthink. Every year I feel bad for the Ember contributors when this thing comes out cuz the respondents boldly claim Ember's bad while also admitting they've never used it and have no interest trying it. The clear mark of a popularity contest.
Name calling is not acceptable on this forum.
The lab leak hypothesis is still a hypothesis.

As for the best of the list - you’re being hyperbolic. I wasn’t never locked down for years, forced to get a vaccine to keep my job or go into a restaurant. Likewise, I have no idea what a “green” pass is and assuredly don’t have one. Maybe all of these things are happening to someone somewhere, but it has never been my situation. Where do you live that all of these things have happened to you?
The lightweight-ness argument is enticing, but I'm wondering if the fact that now you have to give these VMs enough RAM to run the app won't mean that you end up with worse flatpacking in terms of RAM than if you used containers?

Also other tools like hotjar have an explicit option to override DNT (do not track). Feels like it should be illegal.
No I think it's helpful in these cases where I'm just trying to learn about the community.

Heh, we probably ought to avoid continuing to talk about and make a thread about it here :)

But maybe there's some useful distinctions to be made. I think the times where's it's bad is if I go, "Don't downvote..." or "Downvotes are idiots" or whatever...Here I'm just honestly being like, I think this will be a "low value" comment and I'm happy to remove it, but I'm not entirely sure so I want to check. I think that's useful to make it clear and transparent.

Actually I'm surprised it got upvoted. I thought people would take issue with me saying "I was there first"...but anyway, I learned something. Yay :)
> Wouldn't "imitate then innovate" just lead us to very efficient horse carriages instead of cars?

But early cars WERE based on horse carriages; they literally did NOT reinvent the wheel, but instead strapped a combustion engine onto a horse carriage. Then did they start - or continue - innovation with things like suspension, tires, brakes, and later on safety systems etc.

Angular has its pros and cons. The biggest con would be slow builds. They also feel even slower if you try react/vue/svelte/solid on vite.
On Linux you have another problem though: you can have several files with the exact same name, just encoded differently.

> Please correct me if I’m overreacting but I feel like Unicode in most cases is just a giant security flaw and the only reason we tolerate it is because it does tremendous good making things more equitable for other languages and cultures.

Well, that's a lot like saying "software, in general, is just a giant security flaw we tolerate because it does useful things". It's kinda the point aint it?

In 21st century, even Americans aren't able to write their own names and place names with pure ASCII anymore. So Unicode is there from necessity, not as an addon.
Great! I share your feeling: sometimes we just got to get out of this contemporary age and take refuge in some kind of classics. Refreshing :)
I’m not arguing that both systems (PoW and PoS) don’t have their issues with some measure of aggregated power, but it’s just a false narrative to say that staking and mining aren’t equally decentralized.

The migration to PoS isn’t some rug-pull on miners, they’ve known about it for years. If there was legitimate protest, they’d refuse to adopt new versions that incorporated the ETH kill switch. The reason they haven’t? They have no skin in the game - most are mercenaries for hire, operating through centralized pools, cashing out whatever they mine.

PoS is a superior system - more flexibility for decentralized participation (only benefit to pooling is convenience), and dramatically better for the environment at scale. Everyone who holds the asset (I.e. the people who should have the most say in platform operations) have invested in PoS, and want it. It’s widely supported.

Unwillingness to accept anything other than “bitcoin is the way” is just baseless faith in modern garb.

I am incentivized by the software that is to be built and not by the money offered. I feel that if someone is motivated by money to create software we will just end up with more Microsoft and less Linux.
Instead of trying to stop the climate changes (which is probably impossible), we should focus on adapting to what will inevitably become the new normals.
This is the first of these kinds of products that supports customer portal as a use case. In my opinion, this a HUGE differentiator from the rest of the retool/appsmith type tools and surprised no one has mentioned it yet.

I use retool as a client-facing frontend for a niche data ETL product and I’m getting killed on their enterprise pricing.
Actually it is incomplete destruction of habitats that cause pandemics. If all the bats had been killed, then Covid would not have developed.

If we can kill all the disease causing mosquitoes as well, then we will remove another huge cause of human disease.
If you’re that good pick a niche and go consulting. No doubt you have a professional network that can attest to your ability. Go to conferences and share war stories.

If you like that you can just keep going. There are people who charge $50,000 a week. Or you could make it known you want to confound a startup. With lots of management experience and well out of the ordinary programming skills that’s a plausible use v of your time.

Why not try FAANG/MAGMA if you haven’t before?
The length of the second is irrelevant. 432 makes the math easier by virtue of being more easily factorable, with no incidence as to what's heard.

No, it is not. Unless you are planning to use your experience for getting a job, it is not worth it.

I would advise you to use vue or svelte.
To be honest, I think there are strong alternatives now, but obviously none of them have the infrastructure necessary to sustain the entire Reddit community migrating overnight. Reddit's servers were flaky for years after the exodus, but we just lived with it because Digg sucked more. These days we have Kubernetes and commoditised hosting, so the infrastructure piece is largely solved. The question mark is around funding. Thankfully I'm seeing a lot more interest in funding for social platforms these days. VCs smell blood since Facebook signalled they're in decline. Twitter has decided any right leaning political views will be banned, so they're actively purging double digits from their user base. Alternative news and discussion channels like Substack are flourishing. This is the first real opportunity social has had for competition in at least a decade.

The forums do not ban people like r/bitcoin does. In fact, plenty of ETH-hating Bitcoiners show up on r/ethereum, and even get a few upvotes.

For the DAO fork at least there was controversy. There was a little bit of controversy on 1559, but it was mostly from miners or people who had clear misunderstandings about how it worked. It ended up improving the user experience and, according to Coinbase, saving users a little money. Proof of stake has no noticeable pushback except in the mining subreddits, and has been part of the plan since 2014. If it had no support then the beacon chain wouldn't have 9 million ETH deposited.

For the DAO fork, people made the same claim, that the visible community actually misrepresented people's real feelings. But in the end, both sides got a chain of their own, and oddly enough, the side that had appeared more popular before the fork ended up having vastly more market value.

I get your point. But pollution is completely unnatural, too. We got to a point where few things are still natural in this world. I don't know if masks are effective against this kind of diseases, but I guess those 9M who die prematurely every year would have chosen to use them.
I do wonder if a lot of companies reached peak growth in a legitimate way, but because the organisation's existential need to grow larger never goes away, they start turning to less legit methods to make it happen.
Not quite the end... since a lot of shareholder value was created due to the move, others followed their lead (even without the threat of lawsuits). Now we argue about capitalism, globalization, human rights, etc. but can't seem to reconcile the fact that our world simply _cannot_ be perfect and we should focus on compromises and balances instead; this is exceptionally difficult in such a polarized environment.

It will be interesting to see where the "end" really is.
Initially I also had the impression that Next.JS/Remix/SvelteKit shouldn't be considered as backend frameworks but, after using it for a little while, noticed that it, indeed, replaces the use of something else even if you just want to create API routes.

Overall, I find the experience similar to something like Ruby-on-Rails/Django, which I usually also consider as "backend frameworks".

For me, these new frameworks are one of the reasons that, for me, React has never been better.
I believe Archie of Riverdale's car was originally depicted as one of those!
I've taken a look and a lot of this single send/marketing stuff seems new (to me – it could well be a few years old!). I don't think it was in place when we started using Sendgrid several years ago. Sendgrid has only been an email "pipe" to us – no campaign or list management, email designing, etc. I think they've added that stuff on top of their traditional offering in recent years.

Google started occasionally showing me Quora results where I would have expected Stack Overflow ones instead. (There is absolutely no way I'm touching Quora for anything technical. Or anything, for that matter. At most I might use a Quora post to find links to something actually useful).

We will never know since we can't measure the magnitude of an outcome that never happened. Adverse effects from fearmongering, however, did happen.
Calves are already a natural byproduct of the production of all dairy. On a dairy farm, they're effectively a waste product.

While working in ag research, I was surprised to learn of this when a dairy farmer who knew I'd been in the restaurant business pulled me aside and asked what a man might want with their dead calves, which she'd been letting him haul away for $50. I asked how old and if they'd been freshly slaughtered, she said a few months and yes, and I told her how much she should be charging him for naturally raised veal.

I worked on media development for similar projects, and once you get here, you realize the biggest barrier is that there's practically no one doing this, and fluff pieces like this are supposed to encourage hopeful investors there is a market to fund. There's not much someone with no experience couldn't do at home today with a few months of lab training and scientific literacy, all for less than the price of a Disney vacation. It's not like anyone asks for your Science License to buy cell cultures or read the literature, especially with sci-hub today.
Of course this should be an individual choice. Nobody cares about decisions which only affect yourself. It's different from the use of masks for, e.g., covid, where you can harm other people by not wearing yours.
One point I completely forgot was Gigabit Home Network, (G.hn) as a alternative to 1000BASE-T1. It essentially does the same thing and can achieve long ranges. Ultimately this technology is designed to pump 1000Mbps down nasty home wiring, so using it on a single pair of wires is probably going to result in a very good range.

The encoding scheme here is OFDM, aka, break the signal down into multiple signals at different frequencies, and send it down the wire.

It's more robust than SPE, but it requires more costly and larger ICs than SPE. When you can define a connector and cable, SPE is still better in terms of cost and size I believe.

G.hn could have its uses in retrofitting older wiring systems.
Love can be many things. Love is lust, is the desire for company, the yearning for friendship; it's a single word used for a plethora of emotions.

We would do better to differentiate these and make it clear what we mean when we say 'I love you'. Someone looking for a partner does not mean the same as someone under the spells of passion and desire.
Yes, if you convinced a lot of people to transact in cans of beans, you would be undermining the control of the government. Just look at countries that don't have a (viable) currency. They are using dollars or euros and are subject to a foreign powers monetary policy.

Also no country defines sovereignty through voluntary consent. Laws applies to you whether you agree or not.

Things like permafrost melting and releasing more methane?
Given the virality and case fatality rate we knew at the time, we were on track to lose hundreds of millions of lives from covid back then (assuming no vaccines and hospital infrastructure collapse).

Even with those worst case scenarios, there was still significant pushback to taking immediate global actions.

That's exactly where this 'symmetry' or 'mathematical' argument falls apart. A second is pretty much arbitrary - it's 1/60 of 1/60th of 1/24th of a day, but how long is a day?. And the scientific description ("the time duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the fundamental unperturbed ground-state of the caesium-133 atom.") has no 'magic resonance' with anything either.
Even on desktop you run into people with weird configs. For example my router will not allow mDNS to work but my ISP NAT is pretty good so I can connect two machines as long as they’re not on the same network! In the end you almost always will need a relay to guarantee connectivity for any random pairing of participants in a large enough population.

The good news is that WebRTC is perfectly straightforward if all you want to do is to connect to a server on the open internet.

> District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a progressive prosecutor, faces a recall election in June

There should not be something like a "progressive" prosecutor. I am in favor of rehabilitative justice because it simply provides better results but I would expect something worse than following the law to the letter in this case. I am not from the US, but I believe by now that such a prosecutor would favor people by race to live up to a blurred ideal and I suspect Asian parents had the same impression and some might even know where such ideals can lead to.

This sounds like the institutional racism progressives allegedly want to fight. But currently it looks more that they want to implement it in the first place. Equality before the law is very valuable. I don't know Chesa Boudin and maybe my judgement is completely wrong.

For the author of the article to dismiss the concerns as pandemic angst is a bit rich in my opinion, although even parents should not be exempt from criticism when they try to influence education. But the author cannot really establish any reason for such a judgement. But that it required if you call it angst and anger, especially if they want their kids back in school because they don't believe diseases pose a significant risk to pupils.

Sometimes other people are the problem and sometimes you are the problem yourself.

It is different though, because with LTR RTL LTR:

1) once you've read the first LTR you end in the right place for the RTL

2) even if you consider the LTRs to be two distinct documents it doesn't change the order. I can imagine the LTR 'breaking' the RTL text such that the sections are treated separately.

But I understand what you were saying, so thanks for the answer!

The average investment (as per RBI) in crypto assets is 3000 INR or so, the vast majority of which is via crypto exchanges.

The earlier bans were indirect (RBI asking Banks asking Payment processors to close down exchange ramps) and didn't stand up to legal scrutiny. A direct ban via legislation ought to work in practice. Exchanges (and other companies offering crypto in India) have already de-risked against this by getting registered in Singapore.

A ban doesn't have to work perfectly, it just has to dissuade enough users.
