That's bizarre; I've spent a lot of time spot-optimizing React apps and never had something like that happen

The VDOM definitely carried overhead in my case, but it was easy to profile and optimize (with the React tools). In many cases, reflowing the sheer size of the DOM we were generating was a bigger bottleneck than the time it took React to render it in the first place

I'm really curious what was going on in your app
Exactly, this part of the agreement may not void the warranty. Just like stickers on the outside of a product that say "Warranty void if broken" don't void the warranty.

Inflaming political division to sell T-shirts
Might I suggest that even on occasions when the Daily Mail (/ Mail Online) has accurate content, they still don't deserve page views or advert impressions and that when not too hard other links would be better. I'm not sure how the exact content stacks up, but this Smithsonian Mag link was high in my search results https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/clarence-dally-the-ma...

Anyway, thanks for the story that I hadn't heard before!
Also, I would think most people actually do care they are being recorded on CCTV but there's not much they can do about it. It's always an eerie feeling knowing you are being recorded.
Thanks for the link to the downloadable versions. I have the Feynman Lectures loaded on an old iPod and I find them to be an amazing sleep aid. This is not a criticism, they are engaging enough to take my mind off of whatever is keeping me up while also being baffling enough that I fall asleep during the extended sections of blackboard writing sounds. My current set of files is not as good as the recently re-edited Caltech set but I don't want an active Internet device by my bed. Unfortunately they occasionally lead to somewhat stressful dreams of being in college again. It's a risk I am generally willing to take.

> Open source (and by extension a large chunk of software industry) runs on the expectation that people won't do random disruptive things even if it is plainly stated in the license that there is no such guarantee.

Counterpoint: much of our industry is often described as being in the business of disruptive technology.

It's been educational for me to watch how developers are reacting when they're on the receiving end of the disruption.
You could also experiment in shifting negative self-talk into positive one. Like with all changes, this won't be easy, but I believe it is doable.

Use reason, different angles, perspectives, whatever the means to shift the negative tone of the self-talk?
Personally, I want a "human" option to be on the first menu of every phone robot menu. A site that only supports a web-based chat option would have to have humans at the other side rather than some crappy chatbot. 'Contact Us' pages should include email addresses that are monitored by humans. It would be a huge improvement if contact a human via any means was available at every company.

But, having the last resort option to speak to a human even when there is the ability to reach a human via other modalities can be useful.

There is a large "enterprise" company where the support folks always ignore everything I submit to the ticket, and then ask for all the things already provided. The only way to make progress with them is to get on a call. You are correct, it shouldn't be necessary-- but it is. And, if you do not have that last resort method, good luck. You may be stuck having to reply with the same information to a series of support folks without making progress on the case for weeks.
https://github.com/graphhopper/open-traffic-collection may be of help.

I would think it would be a challenge to get useful data from such a source even if resolution were high enough. That nice low traffic road may have been photographed in the weekend, outside traffic hours, on a national holiday, because of a road black a kilometer away, etc.

> If "time to ship" is actually important, than why do most companies go to the work of making three separate codebases for their applications - Android, iOS, and web?

In my experience at a FANG company, it turns out that building and supporting three separate code bases is (counterintuitively) faster and more productive than a unified code base.

We took a stab at this using Reactive Native and C++. It’s been a couple years at least since we did this, and so disclaimer: this might not be the case today. I am also no longer with that company.

The developers hated using RN. In 80% of the use cases, everything worked ok. The other 20% of the use cases consumed 90% of the teams time, and we effectively had to hire engineers who were experts in iOS, android, AND now react native. Meanwhile, the total amount of time to launch a new feature did not decrease.

Our C++ path had its own problems. Building dependencies across different architectures was a nightmare at times. My organization didn’t really have C++ developers. Surprisingly this didn’t really slow us down, and we quickly worked around the learning curve. This worked for us because we weren’t writing low level system code but just business logic.

When it came time to integrate into our iOS applications and several android applications, we again ran into build issues. We had many copy and pasted CMake scripts, which no one really understood and no one really wanted to maintain and own. This was frustrating enough that we experienced significant turnover, and we lost very valuable teammates.

In hindsight, we took both of these paths inorganically. These decisions were made by senior staff engineers and upper level management. It pissed off a lot of developers and lead to a lot of turnover. I have friends at that company, and they are again thinking about going back in the same direction.
I believe we had another interesting thread on this recently here on HN

I think the main reason is that mobile apps often provide a more immediate return on investment - especially on apps designed for the consumer space. You can potentially track much more and then sell that data, ping people with notifications wherever they are, and there is a huge userbase of both technically savvy and less technically savvy
> My claim is that BigPharma doesn't research new drugs or treatments unless they're going to be profitable

If that's your claim then fine, that's pretty true.

But what you originally said was that a cure would not be developed. Which means by anyone, not just big pharma (why are you making it one word with intercaps?).

And while studies tend to be expensive, the better something works the smaller of a study you can use.
Too many paper cuts with a desktop app.

TJ Maxx has been under a PBX hack for more than a month
A while back my wife called their main customer service number and got a gift card scamming operation. On their site they have this number 1 833-888-0776 listed for online customer service https://imgur.com/56WctZu. If you call it you either get the normal TJ Maxx welcome message and number tree but sometimes you hear a message like "please wait because the number may have changed" and then either a message about a gift card or press 1 for English and then it forwards to a credit scam call center. I called some of their technical staff last night and this morning but it is still happening as of me writing this post so I figure I need to post it publicly as well to get some publicity since this is really not ok.

It seems probable that someone managed to put a number in the load balancing of their system and is shunting off a subset of calls out to another call center.
React still rocks, as it keeps "magic" to the minimal (Hook introduces a little magic for a tradeoff).

Obviously, you are not very familiar Ukraine, Ukrainian people, or Ukrainian history.

I'm guessing you were not present in 1991 when Ukraine declared itself independent. I am guessing you are oblivious to the very significant Russian casualty figures that are putting this as high as 50,000: 10,000 dead and 40,000 injured.

Ukraine will not cede any land, and is getting significant war material and support from the west.

Putin, quite clearly, is a modern Kaiser Wilhelm II. And I have every suspicion that he was egged on Xi because for China there is no downside. China will basically take control of Eastern Russia over the next 50 years and Russia will be China's vassle state in Europe.

Think of it this way. Russia is like IBM, and their war is like OS/2. China gave Putin tacit permission and support, but China actually has its own objectives which are served by the success or failure. And probably failure even more so.

Objective-C? Are you hiring?
Svelte changes the semantics of your code. It's great to show off to-do apps and simple examples. But I'd be very wary of buying into a framework that relied on compiler modifications to the semantics of code to make it work. I'm also not a fan of pub-sub style change notifications. It's hard to reason about what a change in state is going to cause since you don't know what's subscribed.

With hooks at least I am able to have a mental model around what happens when I call a change function since it flows top down (instead of bottom up).
"Great question, we would love to crush carbon in South America! Our 14 year old road is in Heart Valley in Norway. All of our experience is from Norway so far and our current binder works well in similiar climates around the globe.

Our goal is to have a sustainable binder tailor made for all environments

IMVHO sooner or later cities will switch from being "the richest part of the nation" to "internment camps/factories for modern slaves" where people living in live in a hierarchy capsule-hotel and Chinese level surveillance style just to work, while wealthy will be outside in modern homes benefiting from cities slave's work.

In mere territorial terms though I'm talking about a not that small administrative subdivision of a country, like a region/department and the design in terms of mere territory-wide planning like "here we will not allow new constructions anymore and we skyrocket some costs to push some out, there we allow new residential constructions, and there new factories/farms".

Something similar essentially already exists in all the developed world, only it's mostly tailored to satisfy some wealthy and political interests more than really wight territorial resources.

The idea that medical bankruptcy is the leading cause of bankruptcy is a carefully engineered fiction. The claim is normally worded something like "2/3 of bankruptcies are caused by medical bills" and includes a reference to an academic study[0], so it sounds super legit! But not only does the study not support the claim--it clearly contradicts the idea that Medicare For All would improve the situation.

You're probably rolling your eyes right around now, so I'll dispense with the characterizations and move on to the proof.

First of all, here's the actual main takeaway from the study:

> 62.1% of all bankruptcies have a medical cause.

Huh. "having a medical cause" is far from "caused by medical bills", right?. I wonder what "a medical cause" means?

> We included debtors who either
(1) cited illness or injury as a specific reason for bankruptcy (27%), or
(2) reported uncovered medical bills exceeding $1,000 in the past [two] years (27%), or
(3) lost at least two weeks of work-related income because of illness/injury,(27%) or
(4) mortgaged a home to pay medical bills. (2%)

So if I had a $1000 dollar operation two years ago, paid it off, then filed bankruptcy when my small business tanked last month, mine would be a "Medical bankruptcy".

Further down in the article, it gets better:

Only 35% of debtors had medical bills >$5000, while 92% of the 62% ("medical bankruptcies") had medical bills >$5000. But the average net worth for "medical bankruptcies" was -$44,000 (negative $44,000), while the average annual income was $31,000. In other words, these are people who, even in the absence of their medical debt, would almost certainly have been filing for bankruptcy anyway.

BTW--the median income of one of these bankruptcies, in conjunction with their median household size of 2.79, makes it clear that the vast majority of them were be eligible for Medicaid! Would a rebranding of their state-run healthcare leave them any better off?

It is surprising. I suspect there are many millions of planets in our galaxy where intelligent life evolved and even invented radio, and I suspect that all but one or two of those civilizations ended disaster within about 100 years. It seems to be quite a challenge for a technological civilization to survive its own side-effects.

The Putin war of aggression violates all of Ukrainian's human rights. Just saying.

Putin forcing russian teens to die while bombing and destroying Ukraine and Ukrainian civil infrastructure violates Ukrainian human rights.

Conscription sucks and there's been some other problems on the Ukrainian side but they absolutely pales in comparison to what Putin's servile russians have done. It's not even comparable because the violations Russia are committing are so so off the scale horrific.

I think the emphasis on "in production" doesn't make sense for a lot of languages. Not everything has to be part of a highly engineered, user facing system to be useful.

For example, I would never use R "in production", however I have used R to make many important internal decisions, and generate recurring reports, etc. Very few people use Excel "in production" but there are plenty of very important companies using Excel.

Likewise I can imagine there are a few people out there using APL for something meaningful and important, even if that code is never truly "in production".

There are plenty of useful, wonderful programs written in the world that were never destined to be part of a production system. The code I've enjoyed writing the most and learned the most about the world from writing typically falls into this category.
Perhaps after winning the war in Ukraine, Zelenskyy needs to go "de-Nazify" Moscow.

(To be clear, this is not a serious suggestion and I'm certainly not advocating for Ukraine to invade Russia, which would be a bad idea even if Russia didn't nukes. However, if Russia managed to free itself from Putin and have free and fair elections, maybe a decade from now, it would be uplifting to see Zelenskyy compete as a candidate and win).

Curious, what are those definitions of “real” you speak of? Preferably non-circular.
Unabomber is a worse example because while the ideas of his manifesto have taken root, he can't solely be credited for them, and his acolytes (both people pushing back on tech, and pundits screeching about woke politics ruining society) tend to condemn him (Again, because he wasn't the only person raising these ideas.)

The long and short of it is - just about any destructive, devious, and murderous form of protest is considered acceptable, as long as you can convince a large enough segment of society that it's end justifies the means.

It's circular logic, of course, but that's all there is to it. There are no involatile, unbreakable taboos when it comes to seeking political ends - you just have a harder time convincing some people that your cause is worthwhile, when you are using more extreme ones. And even if you win, you might still be condemned by history for your methods.

On the scale of extremes of methods, this thread's subject is notable, novel, interesting, but is more on the 'misdemeanour hooliganism' side of that spectrum.

- I would not be able to afford rent

- I would not be able to afford food
