> As someone who has only really got up to speed with React in the past year, I can't understand why people hate on React.

I'm not sure where the people you are hearing from are coming from, but I can tell you why I personally hate on React.

It has nothing to do with VDOM or its underlying tech, it is its design.

React gets treated as if it's a framework but is just a view library that gives you the ability to create components.

However, even that ability is rather lacking compared to a framework like Angular. Now, people hate on Angular too for various reasons but to stay on topic I won't digress into that.

Things I'm missing OUT OF THE BOX (yes I know there are 12 billion libraries "for that" that came out this week alone) with React are:

- View encapsulation (styles bound to components)

- A templating language that lets me separate a component's markup from its JavaScript

- Native typescript

- Inversion of Control / dependency injection framework

- Native routing that lets me configure my routes as metadata instead of having to use components, which ought to be strictly view / presentation only.

Working with inherited React code often reminds me of working with PHP in the 90s. Lots of markup mixed with lots of logical operations written by developers who don't know the first thing about separation of concerns, design patterns or layered architecture but the barrier to entry is low so they picked it up and were able to get stuff done with it despite not having any guidance what-so-ever on how to write maintainable code with a long shelf-life.
Absolutely agree. And while I don't recommend anyone to try this out on a DIY basis, historically a lot inventions we take for granted and have made our life better came from people literally tinkering around with stuff and slowly figuring out what works.
Hi HN,

I’m very excited to show you MyJekyllBlog, a blog hosting platform I have been working on.

Two months ago I shared the GitHub link for the project, and since then I have introduced free demo accounts so you can try it out, improved the templates offered, and introduced import/export functionality so that you can download or upload a tgz of the Jekyll site. The development process is written about on https://tech.myjekyllblog.com/
There're hundreds of thousands of soldiers. There're dozens of thousands of tanks and other vehicles. Incompetence is unavoidable and those kinds of situations put this incompetence to focus and hopefully measures will be developed to prevent it from happening in the future.
I expect them not to make me an offer at the airport check-in kiosk that they know I'll get no value out of.
One does not automatically earn a return just by staking eth. A validator with a node has to be operated which performs the validation and block proposal functions, and money is only made when those activities are performed. The eth that is deposited is not an investment - it is a bond for good and honest performance of the work. Now, there are services that perform those activities on behalf of others, and some of those arrangements could possibly be labeled as securities, but on it's own, at the base layer, participating in eth's proof of stake system is not a security.
The trouble is you're just TOO popular, your car-ness!
Using IPs to protect from abuse has been debated to death and is considered legitimate use.
I think we have major issues with all types of transportation. Truck, cargo ships, and train derailments are all fraught with major issues.

We need to ramp up efforts to make all modes of transport safer. It isn't just trains. Trains are probably the most safe out of all options.
You want to condemn soldiers to death because everybody else abandoned them?

Slack video conferencing was absolutely awful and one of the main reasons we switched to Teams a couple of years back.

Is it better now?

There seem to be plenty of commenters combining Slack and Zoom so seems not. That's a redundancy right there that Teams solves.
> If someone tried to add random fees like AirBnB does in the US, you would not have to pay them.

Airbnb adds fees that goes to airbnb ( vs the host). How does that look in germany, its added to the price host sets. Host sees a different price/night on the listing than what she set ?

also, Airbnb lets you see cleaning price in the listing, so its not a hidden fee.

As posited by other commentors, foregoing his salary while making the stock go up (by laying people off) is probably not "throwing away millions in compensation".

The analogy might be a saleperson violating a minor policy to ensure a sale. They would take a fee for violating the position, but their sale bonus would compensate.
alright, so to shorten this discussion and jump right at the important next steps for us: what is the next place after github to go to with our open source projects? Is it even something without "git" but something else?
I see no such indication. This is tea leaves reading.

The Go team has come back on some other decisions in the past after they proved controversial. I can't predict the future, I'm not a member of the Go team, but I'll take the bet that the proposal will either be abandoned or that it becomes opt-in.
Well, we'll just have to make our own then, won't we?
We talk about Microsoft here? In what era M$ was based on such idea? In 80's when Bill&Co. did whatever they could to undermine OS/2, DR-DOS & LaTex? Or in 90's when Bill's lap dogs were threatening OEM manufactures to automatically include DOS and later Windows as default operating system in their systems? Or maybe it was 2000's when Ballmer did everything it could to stop Linux and later a rather spectacular fail to stop Android/iOS with their Nokia acquisition/spin-off of WinCE? Wait wait, you talk about maybe 2010's with Nadella's "Microsoft loves Linux" BS campaign only to try again to undermine it with WSL and now WSL2? And in latest years with a string of acquisitions, GitHub included, to have access to people's greatest single skill, I mean creativity. Because software is an art and you need creativity, something that in face of current AI progression will remain our single advantage.

Lemme tell you something, the only thing that matters and ever mattered to Microsoft, regardless of decade was $$$. Nothing else. Everything else was just secondary effect.
To all the folks who are so concerned about bad actors trying to develop organisms that will harm people:

Have you forgotten that the world is full of bad actors who are literally trying to eat people? There are not merely thousands of them but hundreds of trillions of them.

They spend all day long everyday trying to find a random path to something that can eat you.

It is the height of hubris to imagine that humans could outcompete that.
As soon as the M1 dropped, Apple just stopped giving a shit about Intel Macs. The whole OS is slow, janky, and appears to have driver bugs on Intel.
How is it possible that Teams is still such a poor product? I really didn't like it when my job switched like 6 years ago, and I don't recall ever feeling that it improved in any meaningful way. I switched jobs to one using Slack and it's not perfect but it is a lot better.

It's almost a meme at this point. In the presence of other clients that have gotten it "right" (or at least more "right" than teams) like Slack, Discord to an extent, and Zoom for video calling, how has Microsoft allowed this festering wound to languish? Surely they could afford to revamp this product and reap the rewards of people not hating using their tools?
This is the first Medium article I've read in a while, and wow, the interface feels so unbalanced to me. Having the author and recommended articles be stationary and take up 1/4 or 1/3 of the content space seems like a huge waste, and then centering everything and having decently large blocks of white space on either side of the content makes the text side of the space feel so much heavier. Maybe I've been using substack too much, but man, I'm glad to be moving away from Medium.

> These companies are going to whine and scream about these changes, but they really brought this on themselves.

Yeah, as the article said, one guy states that they'll just push the cost to other consumers - but this isn't cost, it's ridiculous profit margins.

The problem isn't so much the price that they charge people, it's that they cannot substantiate these costs - they're extra profit, pure and simple.

But this is a thing ingrained in US culture, charging additional fees on top of the base fee for anything - I'm thinking of tipping culture as well, which evolved from a "I really appreciate what you did" thank-you, to a "We don't pay our staff enough so we expect you to pay us extra to compensate". Shameful. I'm glad the US seems to have a resurgence of unions and people are standing up to it.
Zoom was amazingly batshit better than the competition (mainly gotomeeting) for actual conference calls because of how easy it was for someone who had never used it to start (which we later learned was because Zoom was pulling all sorts of clever bullshit to avoid installation dialogs).

Once you're past the onboarding/installation hurdle, they all start to blend together.
How is usage based billing taken from the user's point of view? Isn't there a sense it disincentivizes a paying customer from using your product?
How many cuts will these guys be making :/
The government takes over the entirety of the rental market? There's over 100 million people in the United States who rent.
It shouldn't be dependent on that condition. We shouldn't require unions to keep the general public safe from corporate malfeasance.
Nobody wants to be next to the "noisy" data center, but at the same time everybody wants access to the internet. If we had sane city design in the United States of America which emphasized density, walkability, alternative forms of transportation, and accessible and highly available public transportation. Nobody would care if a data center is out in the middle of nowhere.

The downside is that instead of being exposed to noise from data centers, you're exposed to noise from nearby buildings, neighbors, transit, etc. We get plenty of work in city centers from folks annoyed by noisy neighbors (residential and commercial).

You're not wrong about the US needing to better emphasize density, but it's not a panacea.

Without starting a religious debate here, that's not the case. Feel free to email me (email in profile) if you wish.
It's so bad it makes Slack look lightweight. Which is a real accomplishment.
They in fact said aerostatic and low altitude but it’s good to see you getting your facts before complaining about misinformation.
> Proof that low power, highly efficient computing power needs to become the new standard

The hardware architecture is not the problem. How we use the hardware accounts for most of the waste you see today.

Less containerization and more in-process SQLite would have a dramatic impact on the # of servers out there.
This way they also don't send all their internal company communications to a third party, which would be extra stupid when you have your own in-house conferencing software to use instead.
As a libertarian conservative myself, I agree with martin and mostly read Substack along with WSJ now. I'm sure your data is good enough though and it doesn't matter. Good luck :)
Millenia like in with trees, that a forest fire can return it to the atmosphere in a whim? How stable are those calcium carbonates regarding how the oceans can change on temperature, acidity or even life, to name just a few factors?

And it should be able to address more than this (https://elements.visualcapitalist.com/the-scale-of-fossil-fu...) amount of carbon yearly (and that is not the volume of the calcium carbonate, but the source carbon, it could be far bigger).

Keeping the fuel underground is the best capture technology. It will keep being safely there unless a suicidal species dig around for retrieving and burning it.
Agreed... it was more segmented at the time, as employment was more regional... so seemed to affect the West coast more/earlier... didn't hit Phoenix until nearly a year after it was already bad in NorCal. Was out for about a year, and it was rough, to say the least. Was denied unemployment because I had done side work the year prior, and all that had dried up too.

Took almost 8 months to be working again (at half where I was prior) and a few years to get back to that level again. Given the number of remote workers, can see the effects being broader and more impactful much more quickly if it keeps going this way.

This time I have a house and other people relying on me... so it's a bit scarier. I'm on C2H right now, after getting let go in October, and just hoping to convert to FTE in the next couple months. Fortunately, in an industry unlikely to be affected by the tech downturn.
> If the American people still decide to blame you and elect one of the saboteurs instead, well, they get what they deserve.

Have you been paying attention since 2010? That is exactly what is happening. Republicans break government, say government is broken, then win elections with votes from people who are harmed by government disfunction.
Yes, I agree that this is far more plausible.
Yes, all closures are represented as a reference word (traced by the GC) and a non-reference word[1], which is a pointer to the actual function entry point (i.e. code). For delegates (i.e. methods bound to an object), the reference is just the object, and the function pointer is the actual code (looked up through the v-table once). So that actually means a call to a first-class function is cheaper than a virtual call--it is literally an indirect call to the code pointer, passing the receiver object as the first argument.

[1] The two words even become separate, independent scalar values in the compiler IR. Thus the runtime support is minimal, in that it doesn't know anything about multiple-word values: the GC just needs to know whether a word is a reference or not.
Yes. AGPL is a great choice and counters SaaS companies that are trying to grift and abuse open-source with a modified competing product without contributing back.
I mean... it's a pretty hard sell to say "Hey boss person, can we use our competitor's software to discuss company business?"

My team also used Slack when I joined and were eventually required to move to Teams.
We aren't forbidden from using Slack, I'm in multiple Slacks collaborating with various OSS projects and foundations every day.
Brad Cox laid out a scheme similar to this in hopes of solving the software crisis, in his 1995 book Superdistribution. Now, it wasn't really technically feasible when software was local and native, but in the cloud era it makes a lot more sense. I've personally felt the pain of creating a bespoke multitiered billing system so I appreciate what you're trying to do here, good luck!
It's listed in the checkout / payment thing I'm sure - it means they cannot bolt additional cost onto things after you've agreed to something.
To reach parity with how useful USB-C is to me today, notebooks would have to switch away to Lightning. Yeah not going to happen.
Disagree. Even with the flaws.

Like it or not, USB-C is the new de facto standard. Even if Lightning were opened up, who else would use it? Current generation electronics of all sorts (laptops, phones, headphones, cameras, bike lights) are designed for usb-c charging. Old ones still have micro because they are amortizing down the equipment for making the port, and because everyone knows everyone has micro cables lying around. Even Apple households surely have USB-C lying around, so given the choice, why would any manufacturer choose Lightning for a net new product?

I suppose debating the finer points of international diplomacy would be a rather pointless endeavor at this point if we can’t even agree that, depriving a close ally of energy that it uses to fuel its industry and keep its citizens warm through the winter, would entail some non zero level of risk.

Why are you talking about reddit though? If everyone there is so wrong, why bring it up on a totally different website? No one here is making those claims, and most of the comments in both of these threads are about the points I mentioned.
In northwest MT, our rents almost doubled after a COVID population influx. Many new residents actually moved to live here, but a lot just bought summer places they also use as short-term rentals.

My parents were paying $1400 for a 2BR but when they moved out, the landlord charged $2400 and got a renter from CA.

People here used to afford housing on low wage jobs that "Americans won't do" such as office cleaning, landscaping, janitorial, nursing home care. Teens work all the fast food jobs.

Besides many people leaving, there has been a spike in homelessness, and a labor shortage on service industry jobs.

Immigrants will replace the low-wage jobs because they are willing to live multiple families per unit, leading to further overcrowding, and another reason why the rents won't go down.

They are building a lot of unsightly apartment towers now and are beginning to fill the beautiful farmland area with tightly packed clone home developments.

I've seen this happen everywhere I have lived including Arizona and California.

I'm pessimistic anything will ever change because big money always wins.
You pay $5k monthly in mortgage and other expenses, I assume you include home maintenance in this. 30 years later the mortgage part no longer factors in, and you only pay a much smaller portion of that (just the tax and maintenance). I don't know what the proportion of it is typically but principal and interest payments are usually the majority of the mortgage, so at that point your payments should shrink.

So there's wealth in a few areas. One, once your mortgage rate is locked in it's usually not going to randomly go up, while with rent you can be sure the rent will always go up over time. Two, after your mortgage is paid off you have significantly lowered your living expenses, and any inheritor who continues to live on the same property will receive that benefit as long as they live there. Three, if/when you or your inheritor no longer want to live there, you have a house you can sell to someone else for a large chunk of cash. Owning a high value asset that's easy to sell is basically the definition of building wealth.

If the difference between home buying and renting is as big as you describe, then maybe it doesn't make sense. But it isn't always such a big difference; usually rent is more like 0.8x-0.9x the mortgage payment.

>The people before me 3x their money over 20 years, but they also did 2 renovations, including adding extra rooms. Where is this generational wealth I’m supposedly building by paying $2k extra per mo than if I rented?

With the numbers given, over 20 years the renters will have saved $480k compared to the buyers. But they also don't own anything by the end of it. So if your house you bought is worth more than $480k at the end then you effectively made money by buying the house. Then for every year after that, the deal only gets better for you, as your payments plummet and the rent only continues to climb. This is simplifying things a lot of course, the renters could invest the money they saved, their rent will go up over time, your house could go up in value or it could burn in a disaster, etc. But it's a good starting point for evaluating where it becomes worth it.
It looks likes hnrss comments supports "points". Do you know what the threshold for the main /rss feed points is? That is, perhaps items only show on that if they are 5 points or higher or something? If so then on hnrss could do something like https://hnrss.org/frontpage?points=5?link=comments. Unless RSS uses other signals other than simply a number of points?

This article made its rounds in the Atlanta subreddit and everyone was predictably outraged. But it fails to answer the most basic question. Is the percentage of homes owned and rented out going up or down? Because nationally it's not and the % of owner-occupied homes is more or less the same as it was in 1960.

The article doesn't address the Elephant in the room. During COVID courts shut down, evictions were banned, and some people stopped paying rent. That obliterated small time landlords who depended on rent to pay their mortgage.

The ones that found themselves in that situation had no real choice but to sell. And lots of other landlords who saw that happening also decided to sell. In that scenario who else is going to buy these homes except for large corporate buyers? Owner-occupiers can't get a mortgage on a house with a tenant in it and capital for small time landlords dried up.

I've been using hnrss.org and it's great, but I'll also add a warning. Even the best HN commenters don't consistently write as well or as thoughtfully here as the typical blog, let alone a professional communicator, but they do tend to be very prolific. Therefore, the overall quality in my RSS stream has gone down a bit. Seems a bit more Twitter-like TBH. Maybe your RSS reader isn't the right place for HN content.
More accurately, lessened fuel effiency regulations on larger vehicles.

Humanity is screwed if your delineation is whether or not someone wanted to make their profile look stronger.

That's why it's an anti-recommendation signal. If a user needs to spend $8 or $11 a month to look like they have a strong profile then they're confirming that they don't have a strong profile. If they did they wouldn't need to boost it.

Now if they don't have a blue checkmark, we can safely assume whatever is said by that profile is gospel!

Nope. If a user doesn't have a checkmark then there is no signal, not the opposite signal. You can't assume they're a strong poster or a weak poster; you have to actually read their posts and figure it out from their content.
