More important than the raw performance numbers my computer comes with a three year parts and service warrantee and I can even pay a small premium to cover accidents and spills. I’m basically guaranteed my computer works for three years or they replace it. What happens if my used workstation breaks down two weeks after I buy it? Why should I take that risk?
I have over a decade of experience in iOS dev and I’ve learned that all of the architectures you mentioned except for MVVM are bad advice.

Clean Architecture is a terribly written book with generic, inactionable advice, and where it makes sense, it makes sense for server-side environments in Java, but would result in over-engineering for mobile OSes which have only become more and more tightly integrated over time, therefore encouraging necessary tight couplings in code (e.g. lifecycles of applications, views, and background and concurrent tasks). I’m afraid I don’t think that mobile developers who are advocating this approach are thinking very critically, and are instead imposing a silver-bullet architecture on problems, instead of letting the right solution or architecture emerge from the right problem.

MVVM is also just an augmentation of MVC but it is still inherently MVC—and especially in iOS, the “view model” is really just a model- instead of a view-controller—so I really don’t understand why there are ever programmers who talk about MVVM as if it is different from MVC.
Try adding an M.D. to the research team. Scully always kept Mulder grounded to reality, even when reality was fluid and contradictory to facts. When will this become a movie?
I ran a current gen (at the time) Xeon-D microATX for a while, for ECC support. Biggest downside was it didn’t have a soundcard. Now I use AMD for ECC and it has all the consumer niceties.
Startup stock options calculator. Feedback wanted
I'm looking for feedback on the stock options calculator (https://www.cashable.app/) I've built. It's been inspired by my experience of several UK startups. But I wonder if other people find it useful, too. I'm also curious if it's flexible enough to support non-UK startups.

In my experience I've found that tools like Carta are not sufficient. They are good at telling you a number of options you have vested, but they don't give a monetary value. You can't use them for a what-if analysis (what if the valuation goes up or down?). And if you move around between companies it won't give you a valuation of your combined portfolio.

So I appreciate any feedback.
Haswell Xeon is way too outdated in 2022, but there are loads of newer ones. There's a fair inventory of Skylake and Cascade Lake Xeon on ebay, like HP Z4 G4 w/ 32GB and a GPU for ~$750. It's a pretty square deal considering. Since Ice Lake Xeon workstations are so thin on the ground, this is the most recent Xeon you can get second-hand.

The Ryzen story is a joke if you are actually in the market for a workstation, meaning you want ECC that works. The only way to get it is to buy integrated OEM workstations with the TR Pro.
> I would think anyone with the means to fake an attack like that would be able to do so without making such trivial mistakes

But once you’re agreeing to go along with conspiracy theory epistemology, you can keep looping forever. Anything that you provide as reasons that you believe it’s not a conspiracy could have been placed there by the conspirators to convince you there’s no conspiracy! If you see no evidence of conspiracy, well then clearly that’s what the conspirators wanted! If you see some small mistakes or inconsistencies, and you take that as evidence that it wasn’t a conspiracy (because of course competent conspirators would never allow small mistakes or inconsistencies), well then clearly the conspirators were so competent that they allowed a few small mistakes and inconsistencies to throw you off the scent!
Looking good can make an impression that you don't want.
It depends on the degree to which their religion biases their judgement. I wouldn't trust a Christian doctor who believes in faith healing for a medical diagnosis, for example. Likewise, I wouldn't expect someone who already believes in the UFO narrative to be skeptical enough not to begin with the premise that confirms their biases and work backwards.
I have similar Cyberpower UPS' and started doing research finding a good alternative. I thought since I got it from Costco I was getting a decently quality item but searching on Amazon and their sponsored ads made me realize I made a mistake buying it. I'm always leery when a product is "sponsored" on Amazon.

Looking through reddit and other forums, seems like APC Prosumer highend versions are okay (so not all APCs) and Eaton/TrippLite UPS'. Some say Tripp Lite isn't as good.

I just went to CDW and bought x2 Eaton 5SC model that is sine-wave. They are much more expensive, 1500VA was $420 vs the CyberPower I got for about $180. Eaton has cheaper versions but I dont see sine-wave as a feature so I assume it might be more simulated sine.
Yeah I looked at old Xeon workstations a while back because they were dirt cheap for what seemed like a ton of compute, but they were incomparable to just getting a good Ryzen or something. Newer Xeons might be better but I'm not paying for that.

You're technically right but you must be aware that the colloquial usage of the term means that the unjustified selection has negative consequences. Shielding is positive. I can't tell how you could've missed that...

Oh no India did away with the solicitor - barrister distinction. There's only one category now - advocates. So you'll find people who will use the title ``solicitor'' to describe themselves and the work they do, which is akin to what UK solicitors do - but every lawyer in India can go officially go to court and fight cases. The solicitor types are mostly seen in specialised fields like patents and revenue law, and these lawyers prefer to just do the legwork and not go to court (because as you rightly observed, some lawyers have more knowledge about the court and the systems that come with it). Generally such `solicitors' keep a couple of lawyers with them in a retainer-type arrangement - "whatever cases I get, I'll do the paperwork, and you go stand in court, and we split the fee a certain way".

Your causation is reversed.

People demanded more interactive web apps, which led to more stateful UI, which led to React.

In the case of Facebook, the motivating app was Ads Manager — an enormous, highly interactive single page app for advertisers. You couldn’t build something like it with HTML + server endpoints; in the pre-web days, apps with this kind of complexity would be desktop apps.

Google Docs, Google Sheets, Maps, Spotify — these all have a huge amount of client-side state. You can’t represent that state on the server without making the UI unusably slow. The need to build these kinds of apps in a portable way led to complex state, which React tried to address (so did Angular, Ember, Backbone, etc.).

Quite a shock to see Niels Bohr staring at me from that page. He's a towering figure in atomic theory.
The existence of an "active" God as portrayed in most religions would complicate things tremendously though. If an entity can inject energy into the system or can alter system properties at will then the fundamental assumptions about the way the universe works go out the window.
I have no words other than "absolutely disgusting and abhorrent."
Thanks. I feel I have gotten tons more done over the years by having GC. It's just so much more productive. For the really nitty-gritty low-level details of a particular platform, like directly calling the kernel to set up signal-handling and memory protection, do I/O, etc Virgil has unsafe pointers. On targets like the JVM or the built-in interpreter where there are no pointers, there is no Pointer type.

I am also working on a new Wasm engine and I have a neat trick (TM) where the implementation of the proposed Wasm GC features are implemented by just reusing the Virgil GC. So the engine is really a lot simpler, doesn't need a handle mechanism, doesn't have a GC itself, and the one Virgil GC has a complete view of the entire heap, instead of independent collectors that need to cooperate.
I used to think the same thing until I considered that single page app development is really just a reinvention of thick clients.

When you look at an SPA as a thick client state management is a natural thing as it was in Java swing and WPF and Windows forms and other stacks beyond my knowledge

Exactly, the detachable towboat on the ocean-going barges classifies the vessel as non-self-propelled similarly to the less-seaworthy inland barges.
Yahoo's latest tactic is just to insist on complete DMARC alignment to even stand a chance of being delivered. We have no problems with pretty much any other provider apart from them. And of course, they won't help you understand what is wrong with a particular message and how to avoid spam traps because "that would help phishing", which of course is patently nonsense since GMail pretty much tell you how to keep you mail acceptable.
Well now.

Glass in between the light has absolutely no relation to taste or other properties. My own best veggies are grown in a greenhouse. It's about the soil and what you grow - commercial strains are not selected for taste but durability/good looks. If you grew the same commercial strain """naturally""" you'd still get bad taste.
If your computers produce so much heat that they heat your house during winter you should also factor in the extra AC costs in summer.
The headline may oversimplify the article (a little).

The article isn't explicit, but I think this guy is seen (by some) as gullible for supernatural explanations.

I.e., his reports would only be informative if they concluded that there were not UFOs.
also, if an Indian lawyer writes ``Barrister'' on their letterhead / business card, it means they've gone through training + been called to the Bar in the UK.
I agree with you up until the part where we can be pretty sure the people going away for murder right now did it. This very thread is on an article about how, when a forensic gunshot analysis tool was found to be fabricating evidence, they sued for defamation instead of fixing it. Police still lie and plant evidence all the time, and our carceral system is set up to coerce those suspects into guilty pleas to avoid going to trial.

Here’s a Twitter thread with the clearance rate details, if you’re interested [1]. Another damning trend: since the 90s, the decrease in clearance rate has been driven disproportionately by failure to solve murders with Black victims.

This is because UI programming is inherently extremely complex, especially compared to something like a stateless API tier running in AWS. It’s stateful software deployed to countless different runtimes on hardware you don’t control. Instead of a smattering of API routes handling well-structured semantic datatypes like `POST /burgers?pickles=false`, input comes in the form of arbitrary UI events from various input devices like pens, keyboards, mice, etc that must be interpreted to have a semantic meaning. Often there are hundreds of API routes (event handling elements) on screen at once in a complex application. UI engineers are perpetually frustrated by this complexity, and so some small percentage look for better ways to handle these issues.

Of course it’s best to avoid UI programming entirely, but in many domains it’s necessary.
People fail to grasp that a thing drawing power at idle is the memory, which doesn't have a useful idle state. It must be refreshed constantly. 16GB is pretty reasonable. 8GB would be more efficient if you can get away with it. If you lard up a workstation with tons of RAM you don't need, you pay for it on your power bill.
I just picked up clojure as a hobby project outside of work and I’m enjoying the language in general so far. I have to say that reading this rant gives me a bit of doubt about continuing.

I actually agree with most of what this guy is saying, but the delivery is not good.

God I've been here for years, and haven't figured it out let. I don't like big meals, and I don't like standard schedule. I'd prefer just to snack throughout the day, but that's somewhat difficult to do in a way that's both healthy and appealing. My hunger occurs at random often extremely inconvenient times. I also just don't have the motivation, especially reading these other comments. Life if already boring enough without eating the same thing day after day.

Another neat aspect of this sort of setup is that you can even use locked down devices like iPads, as long as the device has an SSH client (which iPads do).
Uhmm, I read it more as an interesting history of the origins of the 'No Trespass' signs rather than an article written specifically against yourself and whatever signs you have on your property. Unless you were alive in the 1800's I'm pretty sure that you (and all the other properties that display No Trespassing signs) have absolutely zero racial bigotry motivations for putting them up.

(Sorry, and just to be clear - I've seen your submission and comment history so I'm pretty sure you aren't racist, I’m just not sure why this article touched a nerve for you)

Thanks for this great feedback. You are correct that currently BrainTool is more focused on active curation than passive recording. My personal #1 use case is being able to quickly open and close the, say, 5 tabs associated with a project, with #2 being to capture and file away useful resources. However it is on my roadmap to add a representation of the browsers open windows and tabs as you describe, i've had similar feedback from other TO users.

BTW I believe TabsOutliner is completely abandoned at this point. I've reached out to the developer several times, most recently here: https://groups.google.com/g/tabs-outliner-support-group/c/-1... asking about collaboration or open sourcing - crickets. As I noted in that message the extension will completely stop working in Jan '23 based on Googles forced migration to Manifest V3.

Keep tabs (haha) on BrainTool and see if it evolves in the right direction for you.
This sounds like a nothing-burger.

> Taylor was “informally referred to... as the chief scientist as efforts to assemble a larger team were underway," and it was not a full-time position.

It's a meaningless title he received while only having a part-time participatory role, during the process of gathering together a team.

Taylor is obviously a stakeholder on the issue; any investigation into the alleged phenomenon is going to need to involve those who claim to have experienced it, lest their absence be taken for evidence of a lack of credibility on the part of believers.
As someone who's a similar age, I wonder if that's a bit of rose colored nolstagia? Sure, these days the JS ecosystem is incredibly fragmented.

Back then it was CSS that was so rapidly evolving nobody could keep up. Remember the ACID tests? And that was even before flexboxes made things both simpler and more complicated.

Then there was the streaming wars, where RealPlayer and Flash and ActiveX and whoever else competed to be able to deliver <video>.

And what we solve now with CSS layouts and React components used to require frames and iframes and sprinkled JS drop downs that spoke to ColdFusion templates served from a single old Apache instance shared between a thousand users and constantly crashed, and https cost like a thousand dollars and couldn't be used internationally...

The web was never simple. We were just younger then and our neurons weren't so degraded yet. /sigh
Isn't reality made out of facts?
ahah, true.

That's why I generally don't give much weight to those types of "evidence." What you're describing is usually what happens when you talk to them.
It's a bit annoying to go through that post without knowing the context of why he's so pissed... Honestly, Open Source is a great source of frustration exactly because they're managed by benevolent dictators that are more often the latter while forgetting the former.

Yeah sure that's their piece of code and you're free to fork if you don't like it, but why open sourcing your project in the first place if it is not to have a benevolent ear to potential contributors, in other terms to create a community? An Open Source project without the community is just futile.
Well they maybe thought leader. Its up to others to implement their greatest ideas.
I ask this in every UFO thread.

An alien civilization that has achieved FTL or let's say even a generational ship:

WTF would they give a damn about earth and be "buzzing" it in little ships like we would do with fighter planes? Imagine how advanced sensors would have to be to travel FTL and avoid destruction.

Why would they even be occupied by living creatures when we ourselves already use automated drones and interplanetary probes?

All our projections are from the limitations of our own technology and how we would deal with something. They aren't going to be that backwards/limited. And I think they would be very bored with earth, at best observe us like we observe primates and move on.
On the other side, I’m selling all of my guitar pedals and going fully digital with plugins. I believe the future of guitar effects is digital. Some reasons why:

• Pedals are expensive, plug-ins are much cheaper in comparison. Often, you can get a collection of pedal and even amp plugin effects for less than a quarter of the price of a single amp or pedal.
• Once you have a certain number pedals, connecting them is a huge mess of cables.
• If something in your sound chain is failing, good luck at finding what it is. Could be any of the cables or pedals.
• Want to swap one pedal for another? Well, it may be not that easy, as there is no standard, input, output and power may be on a different position, forcing you to re-cable large parts of your board.
• If you want to experiment with more complex signal processing like multiple paths , frequency splitting, etc. Again it’s a huge mess of cables and super expensive.
• Technology has advanced to a point where plug-ins sound as good as the real equipment, you can even use them live, as more and more people and bands are doing everyday.

So, in summary, as much as I love the design and feel of real pedals, they are no match for the possibilities that the digital realm offers for a fraction of the price, space and headaches.

You just need a computer and an interface or something like the Line-6 Helix or the Kemper Profiler and the world is yours.
I'm reminded a bit of Michael Flynn - who rose to a high rank despite being a bit of a nut. Hard to know though, since I don't know anything apart from this article - but it's at least possible for unhinged or extremely gullible people to rise to high positions at the Pentagon.

The repeal of Roe v Wade was a gut punch for me, but I’ve known it was entirely possible for quite a long time. Plus some states have had trigger laws forever so that’s hardly surprising.

Yes, there will be instability, but it’s not the chaotic out-of-the-blue kind, unless you’re wilfully ignorant of the anti abortion movement, or extremely naive to the motivations of that bloc.
How do changes to that cache get displayed? Your cache emits events that each UI element has to listen to? Congrats you’re using redux!

(It would perhaps be more accurate to say that React folks had to reinvent these patterns, but the problems were definitely present in the postback era)
I'm pretty sad this is the point we are at with React frontend development, the library is becoming much larger than it's original scope and it's getting bloated while not solving the essential problems that happen. In my opinion the best solution we have right now for frontend JS development is to not use JS or JSX at all and instead use a DSL such as Svelte, this way the compiler abstracts all complication and there is no application bundle size bloat. Obviously we have Preact (which solves react-dom bloat), MobX (which solves state management), etc. which are all great tools but the problem is that every tech stack is different and the more the core technology can do without getting more bloated the easier it is to introduce new developers to a codebase and keep up with changes.

I’ve been toying around with the idea of building self-censorship software. These comments are good for demonstrating that there’s a market of people who would eagerly engage in blinding themselves.
At this point, we should probably acknowledge that "shitake" is a common accepted variant of "shiitake", just like how most of the world uses "Tokyo" even though it should be "Toukyou".
It makes sense, but it sounds a bit too radical. As one children's book says, "you become responsible forever for what you’ve tamed."
Technically true, and practically questionable because of the psychological way the jury system operates? Which is to say, in the face of that absolutely correct power, the system has developed unfortunately clever ways to make this not seem like the case, see e.g. the undeniable truth, and yet incredibly powerful taboo of even mentioning, "jury nullification."
