How Nx reached 2M weekly npm downloads
Interview with Juri - director of DX at Nrwl - the company that founded and maintains Nx

The main ways Nx grew:

- Nx solves a painful problem for companies using monorepos

- Nx maintainers spend part of their time on client work (often related to Nx) and part of their time actually on Nx. This helps them see which are the painful things they need to work on for Nx.

- Founders were on the Angular team at Google and very engaged in Angular community

- NX hires engineers who happen to be engaged in community. A lot are also GDEs and are accustomed to speak at confs, be at meetups etc
i spent thousands of hours working on one of those open source CAD projects, and i made about 100 dollars.

eventually i had to get a "real job", a job where i can't really be doing domain specific open source stuff without a potential conflict of interest.

on the plus side, i just bought a couch without having to worry about whether i can eat dinner.

great work, bookmarked.

When I spent 3 months backpacking India (twice), coming back was among others a fashion shock. Indian wardrobe is so colorful! A lot of orange, red, pink, blue.

Then comes the western depressing 'fashion'. In winter months, practically whole cities dress in some variant of black or grey. The only ones often not following the trend are LGBTQ+ communities, sometimes. But even in summer, colors mentioned above are a rare sight. I stick out of crowd with my orange shirt like a sore thumb.

Same with cars - I hate grey cars with passion, it tells me the owner (at least first buyer) has 0 imagination, passion or well f*k any clue what pretty is. OK, worse things happen in life but seeing sport cars for >200k$ in f**ing grey or white makes sad view of something that should inspire envious looks and smiles (sound usually makes up for a bit, but still).

I know this post is related to the umpteenth food delivery but how could it possible to sell a pizza for $24? I mean, a pizza contains flour, yeast, water, tomato sauce, cheese (mozzarella if you want an Italian pizza) and olive oil. All of these ingredients are in US so you don't need to pay extra fees to bring those ingredients in your country. In Italy a delivered pizza costs €7-€12. The raw materials to produce a single pizza costs €1-€3 plus the cost of the resturant (employees, fixed costs) €3-5€, the margin is €3-€4 per pizza.
From speaking to older family members, rent and home ownership used to be a much lower proportion of spend relative to food, clothes, furniture etc. Now many of those items are mass produced and are cheaper. There has been an inversion.
> doctors and nurses make 40% of what they do in the US

Oh, those US nurses living the high life.

It's more like "keeping the US defense industry afloat by buying expensive gadgets we don't need".
Looks awesome! Well done! It would be great to have a similar UI for LaTeX or maybe even a REPL. Cheers!
I will never understand the people think you can never do a fresh start (in software, but not limited to it).
Many very successful projects started as a green field. Sometimes I would even go so far as saying they would have failed if the had tried to build onto the existing code base.
Also important to note: there is no "start from 0" most likely the work will be based on existing work, the ideas, code, or parts, modules, graphics can be reused.
I see everyday in my job how this kind of thinking leads to code with parts that are over 20 years old, and are not changed because of fear that something could break.
This looks really useful for a quick calculation. Thanks for the bookmark!
I agree but the *nix part became less and less significant. Bundled Unix tools are ancient. Compiling your own kernel is almost an anathema (it is possible but you will have nonstop hurdles, you will lose a lot of features and you will have to fight the security system too many times to remain sane).

Even the UI conventions that let you use the keyboard instead of the mouse are now often broken by Apple itself (it impacts power users more than impaired people since accessibility features are still good).

And no containers - those require you to run a different kernel on a VM.

Frankly I feel that macOS went back to being like Mac OS 9 in a lot of aspects - it's just enormously bigger and has a proper foundation but the UI is again mouse centric and proprietary and the system is more tightly coupled than ever with the hardware
You can buy a ride on the Bezos Vomit Comet up to the Kármán line, but that does not make you a martian - or that contraption an orbital rocket.

There is no self-driving car in existence today that can do what most people understand by driving. Waymo is just a simulation of what a self driving car should do, achieved by painstakingly mapping every square inch of street in a very limited area. It's a ruse achieved by brute-forcing, not self-driving. Not even their makers trust it to be self driving, assigning back-up human drivers in unpredictable service areas.

On a more serious note, have you tried working in a public library rather than a coffee shop? Just ask the librarian to hold onto your phone while you're there.
> they always deposit energy over a time window ... Also this means they really don't exist as point particles

I am afraid this is already the orthodox view, despite the suggestive/misleading pictures used when teaching particle physics (e.g. Compton's scattering).

But even the well-informed photon concept where a photon isn't a point, isn't a plane wave, and usually there is indefinite number of them, is quite horrible. I hope some day the status quo will move where we realize that both the hand wavy imprecise photon talk in textbooks/pop-sci books and the sophist "just a figure of speech when we're talking about quantum field" will be abandoned in favor of more accurate technical terms.
Only if money is the only thing you're optimizing for, which isn't necessarily the case for everyone.

I once went for a job because of the money alone - it was the worst experience of my life and made me realize that money is not worth optimizing for beyond a certain point of comfort.

Everyone is blaming the process, secrets of prod etc. I'm saying, there's a test campaign problem, or, more probably, a lack of a human tester. Someone made a test in dev, it got put to the test, and wen through to prod. No real security leak or anything, just a product not properly tested.
Like 99% of the internet. Who has the time and money to refactor, doc and test?

It's like climate change: let's all drive full speed into a wall, while tinkering with the stereo system of the car.
Well keep in mind this is cherry picked, obviously. All the good stuff you see is.

That said, yes, it's still very impressive.
Backpack: Curate and use your starter projects more easily
On a personal level, it would be pretty easy to deal with such a tax: I can think of only 2 use-case for normal people to buy fossil fuels directly: to power ICE and to heat their home.

Programs to help people migrate away from using ICE and oil boiler already exist in many places.

By starting small and giving a timetable, you signal people that they have x years to act and that they really should migrate away from using those.

A carbon tax on raw ressources would be most impactful where the real emission are happening: transportation, industry and electricity generation.

For sure, pricing the externalities of the use of fossil fuel at the source would make some things that are currently cheap, expensive: air travel, cement production...

But if those activities are destroying the environment, maybe it's not such a bad idea to make them more expensive. Then you would see real effort to find solution to lower the carbon footprint of those.

When I'm talking about a gradual increase, I'm thinking about a slow gradual increase over a long period (eg: 20 years+) so the carbon taxation program starts pretty painless for most and leave enough time for the world to adapt and get rid of that carbon dependency.
Particularly the "simple installs" graphic on that page. Who wants to, using a mouse cursor, after opening an installer "shortcut", click and drag an icon onto some other icon, presumably representing a shortcut to an "app" folder, simply in order to install a program? What is that even supposed to represent, anyway? Big step backwards for package management.

> grey tends to be the most neutral between the colors and therefore it seems reasonable that products would gravitate towards it

This argument would convince me if it were not technically so easy nowadays to offer most products in a variety of colours. Especially for large-scale production the cost of offering some variety in colour should be marginal. So instead of just going "grey", why not offer a palette of colours to try to capture as much of possible of the market?
The UK arrests people for re-Tweets [1]

So what's the point here?

If the UK arrests people for re-Tweeted memes, how long should you get for terrorist re-Tweets?

How about the Guardian cleans up the UK first and mentions the UK also does this.

Thank you for sharing your perspective! The way I see it, every euro you don't spend on growing your business hurts the value of your equity. When we reach a certain level of product-market fit, it's a bad idea to pay yourself more than you really "need" because those dollars could be more valuable to the company. I'm all for paying people what they're worth and what they need, but if you're primarily motivated by a paycheck, you might be looking for a job, not a company.
>> The unit price of the cars isn't really relevant to the cost of developing it's software. A low cost model that moves sells a lot of units, can likely afford to spend more on software compared to a high cost model that moves only a few units.

You didn't? Of course software costs are part of the unit costs for each car produced, just how those development costs are actually allocated is up to Finance (accounting and controlling) to decide. And of course those costs are relevant, as all the other costs of a car maker.
What Arduino did right was to understand that you have to make sure the tools run regardless of what is installed on the target machine. You make a software package that has everything it needs to do the job without external dependencies.

Now look at the discussion here. A surprising number of people actually expect users to have to understand the runtime requirements and environment of the tooling and seem to think it is the user's job to learn Python and manage this.

Not a lot of people here "get it". And oh boy do people get offended if you suggest that one may have something to learn from the kind of thinking that went into Arduino.
Not all slots are connected to one big pot, but a few (the progessives) can be. In which case yes, the takeout requirement is applied to the set of the machines rather than a single machine. So if you had four machines that are fed 250K each and one machine hits for 750K and no other machine hits then that would comply with a 75% takeout. This is majorly oversimplified, but I think you should get the idea.

Worse yet with progressives is they may even span multiple casinos. So that grand prize someone is grinding for and wasting their money on... it may never hit at that casino.

What you describe exists somewhat in a form in the US. Most major universities have some type of "friends of <insert college name here> library" program. You make an application and donate some money. You're then allowed to use the facilities for studying/reading/working. The donation is usually tax deductible. You're given the same access to the areas as the student population. The libraries all have quiet areas (or floors) and reservable enclosed quiet rooms (sometimes the rooms can be reserved remotely through a web interface). I had a reader membership for Cooper Union when I lived in Manhattan.

Major cities also have private libraries where a similar arrangement exists. Public libraries may be too busy and not as stringent in maintaining sound levels. They usually don't have private rooms either. From my experience, they are also not as clean as private libraries.

I've been confused why more people don't take advantage of these "friend of a library" programs or take part in private library memberships. The programs allow non-students to support libraries (although private ones) and they're significantly cheaper than going to cafes or coffee shops. I'm pretty sure most places will want you to buy something everytime to be considered a patron so that you aren't kicked out or pressured for freeloading.

Examples:

* Cooper Union (https://library.cooper.edu/friends/)

* NYU (https://library.nyu.edu/about/general/fob/)

* Princeton (https://fpul.princeton.edu/)

* NY Society Library (https://www.nysoclib.org/)
Nice. Could this be done with a VS Code extension ?
Looks nice! Making the result blocks non-text is handy. Any plans to open source this or sell a desktop version? I've long been a fan of http://calca.io but it doesn't run on Linux. There's some other versions out there but they tend to be flaky.
> even when reduced to (at least to a British person) abject poverty

I think there's a lot more to this one than meets the eye. The £225 pension she was apparently entitled to was a lower middle class salary at the time, and if her rent was £17 a year then some of that money is going on something other than feeding kids and a servant girl animal food on alternate days...
Exciting idea, I love Clojure, but every time I tried Clojure, I found myself butting heads with the Java ecosystem, and I always wished it had its own ecosystem and interpreter/compiler. I will caveat that that's just because I've never spent long in the Java ecosystem, so it's not a criticism of the current Clojure + Java ecosystem, more my own lack of experience.

In the UK if you download a TV show or other copyrighted material without a VPN, you can get a letter from your ISP as a warning together with a list of the content you've downloaded, and they may terminate your service if you continue.

A VPN solves this, and does protect your privacy, so your comment is just needless hyperbole.

Even if fear for some "thing" would be encoded in our DNA, how on Earth would that make us draw images of it? The only good thing about this theory is that I learned about the Dorothy Parker quote.
Especially because "Why do I need a computer, I can already do everything on my phone".

I got this from my brother, so it's really not that far away from us.
The problem with all these things is that they only visually look like macOS. Once you try to use them, you find that nothing works as it is supposed to. Drag and drop is severely limited, programs don't share a common set of norms, or if they do, it's not the one you're used to. The hardware itself that you need to run it in is horrible in comparison (especially touchpads). Finally there's always the tremendous numbers of sharp edges shared by any of these types of OSes that will ruin the rest of your day as you try to figure out how to get past whatever the problem is so you can get on with what you were originally trying to do at the beginning of your day.

Stop chasing the look of MacOS. Replicate it's functionality and feel first.
I feel like this is more of a lifestyle thing that would need to start organically within a community. If you did this solo with a street sign, it would be dead.

Even if successful, you probably won’t much money from it. Best that it be a passion project born out of a need to help others. If you either don’t have the passion or want to make money then go to the next idea.

helloSystem: We have been in fact working with helloSystem! As some people have noticed, Release 0.2.X was basically helloSystem. (That was the second PoC. The first had been built on vanilla FreeBSD and had no GUI at all.) Under the hood, however, release 0.2.2 has a partial implementation of Cocoa, a modified compiler & linker that support frameworks, and several other additions that make it distinct. We have similar philosophies, and share technology and cooperate where it makes sense (e.g. Filer), but the project goals are quite different.

helloSystem wants to create a computer that is simple to use, open, elegant, small and fast. Older Mac OS X and Classic are an inspiration to what that might look like, but they are not explicitly trying to create an open-source Mac. In fact, they're mostly avoiding Objective-C and XML plists and other Mac technology in favor of simpler and/or more modern ways (e.g. Qt, C++, JSON).

ravynOS is explicitly trying to be compatible with Mac software at a source and eventually a binary level, without losing support for FreeBSD/X11 software, and to implement a very similar experience on the desktop and at the command line. For example, on ravynOS you can type open -a MyApp image.jpg and have image.jpg open in MyApp. You will find things in (mostly) the same directories as a Mac, like ~/Library or /System/Library/Fonts. This project is not as concerned about keeping the OS as small and simple as possible, and more concerned about making it clean, secure, performant, and compatible - implementing many of the features I use daily in macOS while skipping the lock-in and "tabletization" of the computer.

Some of the more technical differences between ravynOS and hello are:

- ravynOS uses a patched kernel with support for Mach, just like xnu, and a compiler suite that supports Frameworks and has preliminary support for Mach-O as well as

- ravynOS has a package repo with software built to "standard" paths like /System, /etc, and /usr instead of the FreeBSD repos which are built into /usr/local

- ravynOS desktop is being written from scratch with Cocoa, Mach, and OpenGL on a Wayland compositor, where hello's desktop is based on openbox, Menu and Filer (originally from LXQt) plus other lightweight services for notifications (dunst), screen color temperature (redshift) etc

- helloSystem uses a simplified .app structure whereas ravynOS uses real Bundles for .app

- helloSystem tends to use typical Unix paths and files, while ravynOS is moving towards typical Mac paths and files

- ravynOS tries to provide the same APIs as macOS

I think your comment is way over the top. Yes, planned economies are a failure but wartime economies were absolutely not compared to their goal : waging a war. OP said that deciding as a society (whatever that means) that this is the new direction and all efforts are now going into that direction would be a solution, and that it has an historical precedent : wartime economies.
The question is, should everyone calling themselves "artist" be able to make a living off their creations? Based on your predictions there will be only a subset which can be professional artists... and I think it's okay this way. Everybody can produce art and call themselves artists, but only a few can also make a living from their art - because by definition art needs a consumer and the (paying) consumers pool is limited.
Opening one yourself and charge nothing should answer your own question.
They very purposefully didn't add useOnMount because of the subtle bugs developers introduce when they do things only on mount. People would react to the initial props in componentDidMount, but never respond to their change.

Hooks, and useEffect, was supposed to be designed in a way to eliminate that class of bugs.
IMO, this article is too vague to be useful. The focus isn't clearly defined, and the examples are few. Like most philosophical texts, it's not neither right not wrong, and its impact depends on the reader's state of mind.

There's a particular dubious point: equivocating simple systems with stable systems. The paragraph about Instagram looks plainly wrong to me, about sticking to "battle-proven and easy-to-understand PostgreSQL and Redis". PostgreSQL is certainly not simple nor easy to understand. And Redis was not much "battle-proven" in 2012, just 3 years after its first release. It's even funny to oppose them to "NoSQL data-stores", since Redis is a NoSQL key-value store.

> Right now it is new, but soon people will start to see the common sorts of failures that AI generated art has

This assumes that these sorts of flaws will remain just as bad for the foreseeable future. I doubt that's true, just looking at the progress in recent years of other machine learning domains.

Sure, eventually things will plateau, but it doesn't look like we're there yet, not even close.
Same stuff can happen with Windows too with unexpected updates. Not sure about Mac though, I've never used one.
It's also worth remember that a lot of things we take for granted were very time intensive back in those days, so you genuinely needed those servants if you had a family and wanted to send the children to school. Consider clothing: washing them involved scrubbing against a board by hand, old clothes were mended extensively by hand (factory cloth existed, but was still expensive), non-wrinkle fabrics didn't exist so everything had to be ironed with hot coal irons, etc. No refrigeration or ready meals, so food had to be prepared from scratch all the time.

Of course, the poor had to deal with all this and scratch out a living, which is a major reason why their children were enlisted to help around the house as soon as practical.
But we are not talking about just nuclei here, we are also talking about the electron shells around it! And if electron shells are "mostly vacuum", then what is electron degeneracy pressure? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_degeneracy_pressure And why Prof. Phil Moriarty gets irked about the meme "things never truly touch each other"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P0TNJrTlbBQ
Also somewhat interesting is the design of Ottoman coins. Whereas the Byzantines imprinted religious figures and rulers on the coins, Ottoman coinage completely lacked human depictions (not even of Sultans) and was imprinted with Ottoman Turkish script. Very similar to how Christian frescoes were plastered over in the Hagia Sophia
