> React went from class to function components to hooks as preferred practices

Hooks work with function components, and are how component state and the equivalent of lifecycle methods are implemented in function components.

For a while with function components, higher-order components were a common complementary approach to hooks, which have themselves largely had their function subsumed by hooks, so you could maybe describe the trend as:

class components => function components + hooks + HOC => function components + hooks.
Nobody is exposing double standards here. It's simply not hypocrisy to care about the war in Europe, and not care about Saudis killing Yemenis somewhere far away.

This is very obviously not a double standard, as the first one directly affects Europeans in a way which the second one does not.
wouldn't that bias the conflict strongly in favour of russia, who would simply continue the invasion during the 240 hours?
> Gas prices are nearly 50% taxed, are they willing to lower it for lower income families? No.

Lowering gas taxes is an effective subsidy for Russia.

They should do something to offset the impact. Something like Canada's carbon tax rebate, for instance. Give the money to consumers rather than indirectly to Russia.
Emphasis on "lightweight". My impression is that Americans in ww2 used up all their slurs and disrespect on the Japanese and acted towards Germans almost as if they ("we", I'm German) were civilised people, politely agreeing to disagree. Even American caricatures of Hitler himself seem strangely benign compared to those about ww1's Kaiser.
> Given that Apple devices already have 2-3x premium

You're suggesting Apple devices cost between two and three times as much as the competition? I'd like to see that competition, so please show us those $280 Mac Mini and iPhone 13 Mini killers. Or, conversely, show us a superior device for the same price. Remember to match point for point all features of whatever Apple device you somehow believe costs 2-3x as much as it's third party clone.
No, the pitch is:

Which is to say "things no one else cares about or thinks are important enohgh to spend time automating."

RPA isn't for major corporate priorities.

RPA is for that thing that takes up 25% of a 3-person team's week. Or 15% of every contact center agent's time. Neither of which are ever going to be prioritized.

Or, to put it another way, RPA is the answer to "That has value, but it isn't important enough to spend software developers' time on."

Which is why "but these people aren't software developers" or "but they didn't use git" or etc simplify to "If we had more software developers, this wouldn't be needed."

Yes.

But that's not true. Nor will likely ever be true. So it is needed.

PS: And fundamentally, it's taking corporate computing back from the "ask IT for anything" to "do it yourself" hacker ethos. Computers exist to do work for you. When did we forget that?

That's the attention-share majority, and it's the majority that gets the most press largely because it's so relevant to the press and to people who read a lot of press (investors, other media), but it's an overstatement to say it's the entirety.

Just looking at some quick stats, a little more than half of all STEM occupations are outside of "Computer Occupations", though that one chunk is by far the largest single chunk. And far from the entirety of "Computer Occupations" is ad-supported web apps.

Haven’t Samsung’s flagship phones favored over (or more than normal) saturated photos over the years? I think the key to liking a phone camera is to get one that takes photos you like (I know this is tautological). Or play with apps that will allow you to change from the defaults. This may not help as much on iOS since the default camera app that can be launched quickest from the Lock Screen is Apple’s camera app.

I feel like it is inevitable that consumers gravitate towards cameras that make them look the prettiest, if that is not already where manufactures are going.

Samsung absolutely does not want someone to switch, and then find out that they "look worse" on their new samsung phone.

I guess its just a matter of whether or not they implement options for post-processing.
We know from Lisp that, for instance, you can write a while loop like this.

(defmacro while (condition &rest body)
`(let ((cond-fun (lambda () ,condition))
(body-fun (lambda () ,@body))
(while-macro-run-time-function cond-fun body-fun)))

Then we have a run-time support function:

(defun while-macro-run-time-function (cond-function body-function)
(loop while (funcall cond-function)
do (funcall body-function)))

Closures allow macros to parcel off expressions or bodies of expressions into functions, so that control structures can then be made "remote": put into a function.

This has the benefit of keeping expansions small. Another benefit is that since the core logic is in the run-time function(s), those can be updated to fix something without having to recompile the macro invocations.

Somehow, the sky doesn't fall in Lisp land; we don't need articles like, OMG I learned about this in 2018 and it's so dangerous.

I respect the opinion that JavaScript can be an unintuitive language to write in. The concurrent existence of abstract and strict equality operators, the former's lack of predictability, as well as their performing shallow comparison are all a fount of problems.

While I can't vouch for the relevancy of the book nowadays, reading "JavaScript: The Good Parts" when I was starting out myself a) conferred a decent knowledge of the gotchas and b) helped me understand that paying the cost in decreased concision to fence off the dangerous parts of the language (e.g., the abstract "==" comparison operator) was very much worth it. Nowadays, with the abundance of linters and the existence of TypeScript, hopefully the better part of JavaScript programmers get to code in a safer, stricter subset of the language — nevertheless, as the author points out, one can trip anywhere.

That being said, how do any of the above deficiencies constitute an unique indictment of React Hooks, and not, say, that of other UI frameworks or the language in general? React Hooks have introduced neither closures nor shallow comparison to the language. Most of the author's grievances are addressed fairly clearly in their comprehensive official documentation[0] (people still read manuals, right?) or quickly become self-evident through practical usage. Owing to the framework's popularity, linter support for hooks is also extensive, with one's code already being automatically verified against the majority of the documentation's commandments. There's probably not much more than a handful of classes of errors that a developer has to manually watch out for.

I don't mean to say that there's nothing wrong with hooks, but a comparative review that pits them against other frameworks would have been more constructive.

Lastly, the use of the "considered harmful" moniker in the title in spite of the relative scantness of constructive criticism in the article lies somewhere between clickbait, scaremongering and false expertise. It's to be considered harmful[1].

>Hooks benefit from closures because they can “see” and retain information from their scope, for instance, in the example above, user. However, with closure dependencies being implicit, it is impossible to know when to run the side-effect.

The frequency at which an effect is to run is wholly orthogonal to whether the associated function accesses any variables in its environment; it is decided by the developer through setting the dependency array, which is passed as a separate argument to the useEffect function. No relation whatsoever.

Good Honest deal you got em.
I sort of doubt that will make enough of a difference in this case. If they plan to go to MIT or similar for grad school, they might as well take the free undergrad. The opportunity cost of spending $100k vs free is pretty big in my view when the horizon to the graduate degree is short.
Also IANAL, but as I understand it, the HDL would compile down to a sequence of gates, and presumably we'd treat that the same way as a binary - a "Non-Source Form" as the GPL calls it. So anyone that receives a copy of those gates (either as a binary blob for a FPGA, or pre-flashed on a FPGA, or made on actual silicon) would be entitled to the source as per GPL3 section 6 "Conveying Non-Source Forms".

I don't think the GPL anti-tivoization clause has much bearing there other than presumably you'd have to provide the full tool chain that resulted in the final gates - presumably this would affect companies producing actual chips the most since you couldn't have any propriety optimization or layout steps in producing the actual chip design, though also no DRM for FPGAs (is that even a thing?)

Six million Jews didn't sign up for a war either.

Nor did everybody on the 'allied' side in WWII.

Nor did millions of Koreans, Vietnamese, Iraqis, Afghanis and so on.

Millions of Ukrainians did not sign up for it.

In fact: almost nobody except for the aggressors signed up for a war and even there that's debatable, usually it's only a few people at the top and then 100's of enablers and thousands to millions of conscripts, who didn't sign up for it either.

But that doesn't mean that you won't end up in a war. The question is how much control you will have over the location of the battlefield. That's why the Americans had this 'fight them over there rather than here' doctrine going. Which given their lack of proximity always was a bit of misdirection, but that doesn't mean that the idea by itself does not have merit.
How Big Tech lost the antitrust battle with Europe
"Effectively disproven" with regard to religion. I'll take a stab at this, because it's a personal grievance of mine. As a result of the Enlightenment, empiricism became the de facto standard for verifying or justifying what is "real" or "true". But empiricism is blind to many things that we still interact with in our everyday lives, and consider "real" and that we have ongoing beliefs about.

Numbers are an example. Numbers are a strictly metaphysical set of categories and rules, and they can relate to physicality, but there is no physical evidence for the idea of "seven", for example. Logic is another example. Cities are another example.

Ok, cities might need a little explaining to show what I mean, because you say "A city is physical!" and I say yes, but it's also metaphysical. I'll reduce it from city to a mayor to explain more clearly. Does the mayor exist? If you walk into the city office, you can meet with the mayor. So the mayor is real. However, if you go to the bar with the mayor and he starts talking about his car insurance or his marriage after a couple of drinks, you're no longer talking to the mayor. You're talking to Steve, who acts as the mayor during the day, but is also a person with a private life. Now, if Steve dies that night on his way home from the bar, does the mayor cease to exist? Well, in a way, yes, but in a few days, a new mayor will be appointed and in the meantime there will be an "acting mayor". So is the mayor real?

We could say the same for a city. It has physical boundaries, and if you don't pay your water bill "to the city", then the "city will turn off your water". Is it some entity called "city" who comes to your house and turns the valve? No. It is a member of the city's "body" that comes and turns off your water. So is the city "real"?

Marriage is another example. A couple that is married acts differently than a couple who is not married, and if the marriage ends, that can have drastic, real effects on the people in the marriage. So is marriage "real"?

Fundamentals and Deployment
If NATO were genuinely a threat to Russia, I'd expect NATO jets to "stray" into Russian airspace as often as the Russian planes stray into UK airspace north of Scotland, or China flies over Taiwan.

NATO doesn't do this. Or at least if it does, it's remarkably poorly reported by some of the press in the UK that I would expect to gleefully report if it were true.

Also, if you want 'second order consequences' take a moment to think about the brain drain of many under-30 Russians (I'm picking an arbitrary age), that have grown up with the Internet and western food. They're leaving as we type.

1/300 seconds is an odd one for sure. In the case of DateTime however, I'd say it is designed to hit as many use cases as possible with a 64 bit data structure. Using a 1970 epoch as is (logically) used for Unix system times naturally misses even basic use cases like capturing a birthdate.

It is quite hard actually to disagree with the 100ns tick size that they did use. 1 microsecond may have also been reasonable as it would have provided a larger range but there are not many use cases for microsecond accurate times very far in the past or in the future. Similarly using 1 nanosecond may have increased the applicability to higher precision use cases but would have reduced the range to 100 years. Alternately, they could have used a 128 bit structure providing picosecond precision precision from big bang to solar system flame out with the resultant size/performance implications.

We do that with a lot of nature disasters, earthquakes, volcanos, we simply don't know when they gonna happen, and build according (no buildings near volcanos, better and better buildings earthquake resistant, instead of trying to predict when and where they happen and evacuate people, that we can't).

I would be more happy if a economist said right now:
"I don't know what's gonna happen, I have no idea what to do".

Than: "We should not raise minimum salary, etc, etc.." And it turns out to be wrong.
