Good question!

The really short answer is: mostly looking at NPM download stats, Github "depended by" numbers, and random polls on Twitter.

Which are all _horribly_ flawed metrics, but they're also all we have to go by.

I wrote a couple longer comments on Reddit a while back that went into more details on some of the numbers and the potential flaws in using them:

- https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/lcgqnd/state_manag...

- https://www.reddit.com/r/reactjs/comments/skbyb1/the_most_po...

and unfortunately you asking me about this is tempting me to turn those comments into a blog post with some additional thoughts :) (I.... may actually try to do that tonight or tomorrow. If you're interested, keep an eye on my blog at https://blog.isquaredsoftware.com .)

I'll definitely agree that Redux usage has peaked in _relative_ terms, although as you can see from the download numbers it seems to still be growing in _absolute_ terms. Also it's entirely possible that fewer new projects are choosing Redux.

Then again, how do we even count "usage" in the first place? I've seen Web3 app boilerplate repos that include Redux Toolkit. If 1000 people clone that repo and play with it, how do we compare that usage conceptually vs one app using Mobx that's been around for years and has a bunch of developers working on it daily?

As I've pointed out in a number of podcasts and articles: I'm not trying to convince people they _must_ use Redux, or even that they _should_ use Redux. I just want people to be aware that modern Redux is way easier than legacy Redux, that Redux _is_ still widely used and is a viable choice, and what some of the tradeoffs are when using Redux or any other state management library.

I've actually been trying to get the community to come together and work on a centralized site that would list tools in different use cases and categories such as state management, styling, data fetching, and build tooling, describe purpose / use cases / tradeoffs for each tool, and have that as a recognized resource for people to use when researching what to use for a project. You can see the original RFC discussion and prototype site here:

Sadly I haven't had time to push this forward, and it needs to have more people involved and helping fill out content on the various topics (not just me).
Turn your chores into exercise. I get miles per week sweeping and mopping.
Restaurants and pubs, despite recent convergence, are in different markets. Restaurants rely on turnover, pubs on repeated orders.
I did that a lot with the first child. Was hard to do with two (jogging double strollers are a thing, but bulky and best with twins or similar aged kids).

When we had a third, I took my first (who was 6.5 years old) on bike rides with the youngest in the stroller. Worked ok until but a lot harder to juggle.

Pandemic helped but now that we are going back to the office (twice a week for now), morning exercise is the first thing to go (home cooked meals a close second).
Exactly, what divide are we talking about? Divide me (please!) from para-military loons.
That looks pretty interesting.

I wrote something like that, a few years ago; mainly to practice. I am now using it as the backend of the app I'm writing.

Good luck!
At the time the legal drinking age in the Netherlands was 16, and I can remember sneaking in drinks a few years early (just not buying any myself). I honestly think it’s for the best to get aquainted with alcohol earlier in your life, so that you don’t go wild later in life when there is much less supervision.
The "successful" parents become very good at time management and focus. IMO, it's our super power.
> Someone was asking how to determine the quality of coding practices at places they are interviewing. My mind went on a tangent wondering if it is fair for interviewees to bring a coding exercise for the interviewers to complete.

> I've never heard of anyone doing this before and I don't think it would be well received. Has anyone done this?

Yes, I have done something similar to this and I believe it is important for an interviewee to ask. The way I phrase it usually is along the lines of, "what is a representative problem this organization currently has?" Then use that as an exemplar for a problem solving exercise.

It helps make the exercise "real" for the interviewers and allows the interviewee a glimpse into what problem(s) exist as well as how the panel feels about them.

While not strictly "a coding exercise for the interviewers to complete", it often leads to interesting discussions during the interview process.
Congratulations! Father of 18 months old girl here. Nothing to add really except to repeat the advice already given in this thread. Have patience. It gets tough on many days and remember that it too shall pass. Your wife will go through a lot of changes in her body. Take care of her.
Not "surely". For something like body fat, we have a pretty good understanding and very precise measurements but the optimal range is much much bigger than that precision.
It is also an opportunity for someone to feel involved and eventually join the group, perhaps even become a maintainer.

Speaking as a project maintainer that is starting to see some traction: I'd love to see people coming with PRs for features. It would mean a big amount of validation.
This both sides do it rhetoric collapses when one of the candidates refuses to accept the result of an election, pushing the country to the brink. There has always been accusations of rigged elections, there has never before been an individual so depraved as our last president in his refusal to accept defeat.
Ferguson was publicized heavily because of massive demonstrations because police everywhere should know that their brother in blue makes their jobs more dangerous. Police killings undermine trust in police which is crucial for their safety.
I wonder what happened with the Doxycycline, Azithromycin and Vitamin C therapy plus fasting plus exogenous ketones therapy, which was bringing hopes a few years ago.
Most “American” spelling came from Britain originally.
And yet, all these individual Teslas make the same basic mistakes. What is it: lowest common denominator?
I'd actually argue that it's just not astounding, so it doesn't make headlines.

Yes similar to "beer goggles" (yes it's a real thing) they showed us in college to try to prevent drunk driving. We put on the beer goggles and played Mario kart. But it wasn't like being drunk.

It’s obvious they invested so much design energy making A series much faster every year to build the competence to build the M series the way they wanted it.
My mom (boomer) still associates them with sailors in the Navy, because that's who had them when she was a kid.

The money makers for newspapers were always ads and classifieds. Paying for the paper was just to hopefully cover printing and distribution.
The GNOME development lifecycle, illustrated for newcomers:

1. Mark all current issues as stale or wontfix when no new work is getting done

2. Partner with/create new software feature that is going to "finally fix the Linux desktop"

3. Expand codebase around new feature, leaving an abundance of cruft and dead code in their wake

4. (YOU ARE HERE) When everything inevitably breaks, they abandon the new feature and blame some perceived open-source boogieman

5. Development falters, funding cuts out, maintainers bail or something else happens that causes progress to return to a standstill (return to Step 1)
Yes, but his position overall is still high-net-worth surely? I'd be delighted if the wunderkid of the libertarian right lost his shirt, but I suspect he's still ahead of where he was 10 years ago, and in the long run is going to continue to make a shedload of money.

Clarium lost bigtime. No disagree. He has about 5 other vehicles as I see it. His roth IRA alone is going to be fantastic.

I wouldn't use him as my financial investment agent, personally. I'm not tracking his investments, I let my superannuation fund make it's own mind up.
"z" has been a valid alternative to "s" since I was a boy (and I can no longer claim to be a spring chicken).

What I have noticed more of is children saying "zee" instead of "zed". I beat those children and they come to realise that they deserve it.
And let me add, I've never heard of a bootstrapped startup taking less than 7 years to reach $1MM ARR, with many years of dirt poor earnings. You're likely to get to a million faster with a FAANG job with stock options if you're good at interviews.
Only problem is, to make a salad taste good most people add in chicken, bacon bits, cheese, egg, mayonnaise, heavy dressings and hey presto, you've got 1000 calories in there.
> Oddly enough, I think US tax policy may play a factor here in motivating people to ignore the repeated and loud warnings about how this was a really, really bad idea. When you're facing massive capital gains taxes, and have an inkling that those gains will turn to losses, the idea of lending out the asset, spending the cash without incurring tax, then getting the asset back starts to look attractive.

Yeah, my Roth, and other domestic tax exempt entities trade much better with crypto. My Puerto Rico tax-free colleagues also make more holistic decisions, but are generally much better connected to begin with than normal crypto traders.

My taxable accounts definitely trade differently, I want to make long-term capital gains but I never can hold that long, except by accident. Definitely more temptation to try to use the assets as collateral to hold longer, but then you have to pay back the collateral when it gets liquidated and you still have to report the capital tax treatment on the forced sell (gain or loss). But I do like tax-loss harvesting, and before this year there was no wash-sale rule applicable for crypto, so any random panic dip you could sell and get right back in the position and keep holding, locking in an offset for things you did sell at a profit too soon.

There have absolutely been things that I didn't sell because I didn't want the tax yet. Things I couldn't use as collateral. I resorted to donating things in profit to my tax exempt entities, even if I didn't get a fair-market-value deduction (still got a cost-basis deduction, same deduction as just donating the initial cash instead of buying an investment to begin with), I was still fine letting the tax-exempt entity sell tax free and just have more cash, because there is still a massive delta between the purchase price and current price and the government doesn't get a cut (I don't get the impression that any of their security and infrastructure and courts helped in these trades, something I do factor in since I have more legal choices in which action generates a tax/revenue event for them). But I personally still missed out on simply having more money to spend. For me that's okay, slightly miss the idea of some more play money or pushing that into a dope house after paying the governments a tax, but mostly just an observation while on the topic.
There are four aspects to this:

1. Weight: I've been 50+ lb heavier than I am now and I, personally, hated it. It makes everything harder and that only gets worse with age;

2. Fitness: this one is (IMHO) less extreme than weight differences but if you can't walk up a flight of stairs without getting winded that's going to impact your life in negative and real ways;

3. Health: when you're young this is less of an issue but as you get older being overweight and/or unhealthy becomes a more significant risk factor for many health problems. Heart disease, strokes and a host of others;

4. Quality of life: getting fresh air, sunlight and exercise is generally good for your state of mine. At least, it's good for mine. It can help put thing sin perspective (professional and personal) and improve your mood.

YMMV

As far as time goes, this was a big motivator for IF for me. As in, the effort of preparing (or even buying) meals annoyed me. It's one of the big things I appreciated about working in tech: the free meals. Not for the quality necessarily but primarily for the convenience. I don't have to plan for (many) meals.

Treating eating as a leisure activity can be a trap too like some people have weight issues because they like food and end up treating it as a reward, which reinforces the cycle.

I prefer to think of food as necessary fuel.

But how much time do you spend on food?

yes. I realize this. Do you think he's poor? If you want stupid, I wouldn't put Thiel at the head of the pack, the room of stupid rich people is pretty full right now. The really stupid ones put everything into cryptos. I don't think he did this.

I upvoted you for a good rebuttal!
Soccer for example is English slang from back when.
If I get that part right, it would generally have the same return value throughout the lifetime of a process. So in the off-chance that it does trigger, it gets stuck in an infinite loop.
Matt Levine always likes to say that cryptocurrencies are relearning hundreds of years of financial lessons in just a few short years. He describes the current crypto crisis as a repeat of the 2008 financial crisis.

Every single problem that cryptocurrencies face are extremely well known and studied phenomena in traditional economics. It is all very predictable.
Why weren’t they needed anymore? Do they now have an AI labelling for another AI? Or are they dropping this joke of fsd?
Definitely changing that though, esp over last 10 years. Many pubs in London (and increasingly other areas) will put an "optional" 12.5% for service for food, especially if they have a "dining area" off the main bar. It's also increasingly common for pubs to have people asking if you'd like another drink, and charging you 12.5% for the pleasure - this seems to be a lingering effect after covid where you couldn't go to the bar to order.
Why can't I just draw on maps without an account? Chalk one up for the bounce rate.
Indeed. Ken Shirriff wrote about using the Beaglebone's PRUs:

https://www.righto.com/2016/08/pru-tips-understanding-beagle...
The i860 introduced many new ideas, some that worked well and were copied and others that turned out to be unfortunate. Using wide datapaths in a single instruction/multiple data (SIMD) scheme for graphics got copied by Sparc and then the x86 and others, for example.

A selling point was the floating point performance of a Cray 1, far above what other microprocessors could do. Pipelining was a key to this and, taking the RISC philosophy seriously, it was exposed to the software. The compiler had to schedule the instructions so that they didn't try to use a result from a previous instruction until the clock it finally came out of the pipeline.

The problem of an interrupt is that the pipeline is full of unfinished calculations. If you know you are going to return to the same task, you just freeze the pipeline, don't using floating point inside the interrupt and then restart everything when you return you restart everything.

If you are going to switch to a different task instead (Unix) then this is a really bad design. The kernel will have to manually flush the floating point pipeline to somewhere, then manually restore the pipeline for the new task and then return to it. The sequence to flush and restore the pipeline is really tricky and slow.

Is it intended? In a way, yes. High performance was the highest priority for this project. If you are switching your processor among a bunch of tasks then you really don't care about performance that much, do you? Running Unix on a supercomputer should be possible, but it doesn't have to be good. As long as when you focus on a single program it goes amazingly fast.
> Trump is the far right

Trump never was the hard/far right. He just used them for his own self-aggrandisement. And more and more of them are realising this, and turning against him in response.

After the Parkland school shooting, he came out supporting a modest tightening of federal gun laws (restricting gun access for under 21s), only to abandon the idea in the face of pressure from the gun lobby. [0] His initial response to "bathroom" laws was to oppose them, only later being talked into supporting them. [1] While publicly he welcomed SCOTUS overturning Roe v Wade, reports claim that in private, he is very worried that it will damage his chances in 2024 by costing him the votes of suburban women; [2] it seems unlikely he has any genuine personal moral objection to abortion. Trump has always been pro-COVID vaccine, unlike many of his supporters. [3] The list goes on. His personal instincts on many social issues are moderate/centrist; a significant chunk of his conservatism was always just a put-on to convince conservatives to vote for him.

Given Trump never really believed in many of his own right-wing talking points, it is rather unsurprising that on many issues people on the hard right perceive him as having been "all talk but no action"–they wanted him to wage war against progressives in the federal bureaucracy, instead he sat in the White House shouting at cable TV. Stacking SCOTUS with conservatives was one of the occasional exceptions to that generalisation, but something which required no real effort on his part, he just did whatever his advisers told him to do. That's why many on the American right are now flocking to DeSantis, who appears to actually believe what he says far more often than Trump does, and who shows signs of being far more effective at delivery too.

> Are you arguing there hasn't been a hard right shift in the GOP since Trump?

Has the GOP base actually moved that much? I think the main thing that has happened, is that Trump single-handedly destroyed most of the GOP establishment's ability to control their own base – they'd grown used to being the tail that wags the dog, Trump just helped the dog to remember who's really in charge.

I've been in and out of crypto since 2014 or so but I've never been more bearish than 2021. When the majority of my Twitter feed became visionaries predicting web3 it all seemed destined for pain.

There are billions of reasons to embrace the idea of a platform shift but when everyone can see it coming a mile away they're probably either wrong or a deep trough of sorrow away from it working out.
I dont know what you mean by "multiplier is usually exactly 2"

in the context I would assume you are attempting to claim everything is a Republican or Democrat bent in a American political context, I would disagree with that.

but honestly there are more than 2 multiplies to read your comment so the irony is very dripping, but any story of any significance of popularity I can generally find all kind of angles, reports and "facts" about the event, be it war, an historical event, a mass shooting or a Supreme Court Opinion.

For example I read probably 10 different accounts for what the Dobbs ruling of the supreme court was, only a few of which was factually accurate and of those only a few of the accurate ones were "trusted sources"

The mounts alone would not have caused that, see the 747 as an example of an aircraft that can support different pylons based on one of the three different type of engines used without recertification. What requires recertification is the change in handling specifications (forward mounted engines changes the center of gravity, larger engines which change performance envelope)

My understanding is that there is mandatory training for MAX pilots that airlines must track, but it does not require a new type certification. The latter is likely due to regulatory capture, southwest has the largest fleet of 737s and did not want to recertify their pilots[0]

You really think appeasement will work this time? It hasn't in the past.
Correct - don't cook say: tomatoes/tomato sauce in them.
In a sense, the difference between entrepreneurs and (idealized) academics is in making what people want right now versus making what they think people (in the future, might) want. So, trusting other people’s judgement over your own, including how to spend your life. Modulo Steve Jobs and lots of unearned capital.
That would only be true if you actually need 90% of what k8s provides and will end up reproducing it poorly.
Heck, the first gen retina MBP is now 10 years old. It’s definitely still a very capable machine, albeit the Nvidia GeForce 650M GPU is a bit underwhelming, even for non-gaming.
Well first of all I hate touchscreens and wish they would die in a fire. Every smartphone I've had has been too big for me to comfortably use with one hand, compared to older dumbphones which were very easy to use. Even if you find a small smartphone, the touchscreen then gets cramped. A small digital screen and thoughtfully placed physical buttons creates an interface that I can navigate without ever taking it out of my pocket. It also takes up less space, which opens up new possibilities for places to put it or when/where to take it. When you have a small device with physical buttons, you can just do more with it, easier, faster, more reliably.

The other thing is, most smartphones today are insanely over-complicated and not reliable at all. They consume an insane amount of system resources, their battery life is piss-poor, they're constantly being updated which leads to more instability. And new devices aren't necessarily backwards compatible with old apps, meaning you might end up with a phone just for music anyway, or end up losing a useful app. A dedicated device with a simpler RTOS can actually function faster, better, more reliably, for longer.

And to top it all off, the software of a Sony Walkman is usually top-notch. Good EQ presets, an interface designed to make it easy to navigate, with all the player options you want, with UX front and center. Quality control is high because you have to assume the user will never update the firmware.

And having a bunch of MP3s by default is just the simplest thing you can do. Usually the software auto-indexes and sorts and creates playlists etc by the ID3 tags, but if not, you can organize them manually into folders and manual playlists. You have pretty much total control over the music selection, experience, quality.
A majority of infrastructure in the US makes it extremely hard to be healthy. Activity and healthy foods isn’t integrated into daily life. For example, you can’t just walk to the grocery store or other things in most places. And if you live in a bad neighborhood, you can’t feel safe going walking or running. Living in a walkable, safe, and nice area is out of reach for a lot of people. This makes it hard for people when activity isn’t the default.
