But that doesn't really prove much does it? You are saying they could rearchitect/simplify the whole thing and move it on site to save money - but what about rearchitecting the whole thing and leaving it on AWS?

Which part would actually saving them the money? - rearchitecting/simplifying, or changing where it runs? There would need to be an apples-to-apples comparison to be meaningful.

That said, I don't believe everything needs to be in the cloud - but maintaining data-centers are also very expensive, and need to be accounted for very differently.
Based on my experience with dangerous ebike riders in NYC, I do think this is a problem. It's just that it's so much less of a problem than cars that it's hard to care about this "gotcha" when we talk about bike infrastructure.

Assuming any US cities focus on bikeability, by the time we've figured things out enough to actually worry about this problem, hopefully the Dutch will have figured it out. I know ebikes are a very real concern in the Netherlands and there's a lot of active lawmaking on the subject right now.
Exactly. Even just in medicine: you’ll sell an MRI that is far cheaper than anyone else on the market, with no need for a quenching system, and with bigger margins. Etc.
this is not new -- in the 1980s I recall the story of a sales agent who figured out that radio station license renewal or sale was subject to strict conditions as part of protecting market areas. So when a radio station was approaching FCC license deadline, this sales agent discovered that pre-bidding on the license before the legal renewal started, and then pre-selling that license to interested parties as if they had control of it, was very profitable; rinse, repeat. A sales-boiler room was setup in Florida and stations across the USA got the treatment. Everyone gets paid.

When sleepy enforcement caught up, the guy terminated all his willing sales guys with some cash to be quiet, and literally hid in his sister-in-law's basement for more than two years, with lots of money to pay bills.

There is no adequate alternative to loving parents. "The village" can only help or hinder, not replace.

The primary factor to success and happiness in life is your family structure and having their loving guidance and support.

Today, the village mostly hinders. Few people have experience with children anymore and most are self centered. Their "help" mostly consists of direct criticism, or indirect criticism in calling the authorities.
Yeah I absolutely love hooks, but it definitely has a learning curve. But damn, you can do nearly anything with it. One of my favorite projects involved using hooks to manage p2p connections using WebRTC, which would have been a nightmare to write without hooks. Haven't looked into signals yet, it's interesting that it almost looks identical. I wonder how it decides when to rerender.

I’m looking at the task of making programming more visual and structured but am at a very early stage (still getting my head around OpenGL/WebGL). I do realize text us still used for its own reasons.

I’d say they are:

1) Lack of need for a proprietary tool to view/edit.
2) Density of information.
3) Nearly every existing attempt I’ve seen at visual programming is insultingly bad. So I get it why folks would be hesitant to waste time on some schmuck’s new invention.

Am I missing anything on the advantages of text? This is an honest attempt to see where I’m missing perspective, not an attempt to convince.

I don’t think the target audience is developers with an existing working workflow- the potential upside prob wouldn’t justify someone spending the time/mental effort to grok a new model. But I think the audience is those who have some aptitude and could be coding and aren’t yet. In my mind, primarily so that maybe individuals can have a little more influence over the code and algorithms in their own life more so than industry roles.

Given that the ways you can convey information graphically are a super set of what text provides, I can’t help but think there’s some room for improvement- especially with concepts like literate programming around.

Overall, I’d like to give your average personal a little more agency. Maybe that’s a graphical approach. Maybe its getting folks to do basic Rails/Django/Flask/PHP whatever.

But I am curious if I’m missing obvious rationales for text…
I don't know, but if I were one of them I'd for damn sure be polishing my resume.

What words mean is always a matter of definition. It is also usually (maybe even always and necessarily) vague. Humans are inclined to anthropomorphize and ascribe agency to pretty much everything. So my fairly confident prediction is that the definitions will end up so that "language models can have opinions". Some specific language models, for better or worse, may then be found not to have opinions.

Some people seem to be hinting at some "deeper" mystery underlying (human?) condition, which they're trying to capture with concepts, leading to debates about the meaning of words such as "consciousness". That word is commonly agreed to mean something "magic". One may think it a deep mystery and highly interesting. One may also think that it's a concept like "immortal soul", that empiricists will eventually abandon. Both viewpoints seem reasonable to me.

What I object to is insisting on definitions for much more mundane concepts, such as "opinion", that also must be somehow "magic", just because they also have something to do with human cognition. When I say "my friend X is of the opinion that we should do Y", nobody starts to ponder the potentially deeply mysterious consciousness of X. That's because it's besides the point.

Again, from the start, my scenario and example was third party software. Feel free to re-read the thread from the start if you want to confirm that.

I'm not interested in retreading anything. I don't even want to continue discussing anything with you as it is, but I'm willing to see where this goes.

Show how pledge can protect against a remote root compromise in oracle. I doubt it can, you've been insisting pledge is all OpenBSD needs to protect against such attacks.

I'm not answering any more questions or taking any more detours. Stop being intellectually dishonest.

Either admit that you don't know for sure that pledge can protect against a remote root compromise in complex third party software like oracle and simply think it can, or show how it can.

If you can't do that, we're at an impasse and there won't be further discussion. Unless you post some kind of baiting comment I suppose, which wouldn't surprise me at this point.

> All of this tricky reasoning about what executed when

I may be too battle hardened, but here’s a simple rule for React: As soon as you have to reason about execution ordering, you have taken a wrong step and something is wrong.

Your code shouldn’t depend on effect ordering. Trying to do that is like trying to write code that depends on the precise ordering of thread execution in a multi-threaded program. You’re gonna have a bad time.
I foresee this tool being used by people with very little knowledge of programming and operations to blindly release products they don't understand. And business types creating a lot of code for experienced team member to spend time reviewing.

It lowers entry barrier for creating more code of lower average quality. This will only create more grunt work for people who actually understand software development.
I think it's more than the median developer, and I think part of it may be due to React being a victim of its own success in some ways. The scope of requirements for many kinds of common hooks has expanded dramatically. Yesterday I found a problem in a hook that is part of a library downloaded 1M+ times a week.
Oh gawd. Redux needs to be burned with fire.

There might be a subtle rationalization of lack of competence indeed. Which is complicated because the ego can't accept that. People is used (and to be fair it really needs) to market itself plenty competent even when is not (impostor's syndrome conversations come out of this). But this goes way beyond React hooks. A lot of hate of OOP is due to self-incompetency on doing proper libraries doing the right powerful abstractions from the start.

For an erudite writer it would be painful to hear non-erudite writers blame the pen and paper for the underperforming outcome that they expected to see on their writing. And the cost of correcting that issue in them when modesty is so scarce would make the cost so high an even dangerous, that should be no surprise that only their silence gets in return. Mediocrity posing as great work rejoices.
Why would they buy 10-year bonds when their depositors are startups, many of whom won't exist in 10 years? Seems like shorter-term T-bills would have been more appropriate, but I know next to nothing about finance.
Precisely. Almost everyone requires a car occasionally -- maybe when they're moving between apartments, or traveling to a hiking trailhead not accessible in any other way, or working a job that requires a large volume of equipment. By giving people other options when they don't need to use a car, those car trips become more bearable in many ways -- including infrastructure efficiencies.
In this case, the nerd has a point, and is probably correct.

Victims of non physical domestic violence also need money, police time, and medical attention (yes, they do!). So I'd argue that widening the definition of domestic violence actually increases the visibility of the cause. More people are concerned, directly or indirectly.

> “get with the times” is ridiculous

It's not. Language changes all the time for better or worse, and trying to change it back is just not possible. You're wasting your time if you're trying to make your definition the correct one instead of the one that's widely accepted, even if your definition made more sense (I don't have an opinion on that).

Language is a reflection of society, and whether you want it or not, society has decided that physical domestic violence and non-physical domestic violence are the same thing, which we call domestic violence. You can fight words or fight for a cause, your choice.

Class based components are easy to pick up, but they don't scale. They're really hard to refactor, and make it hard to reuse behavior. If you have a simple app though, they'll do fine.

Often with hooks, you'll have to think differently in order to figure out how to accomplish what you want to do more functionally. That up-front cost ends up paying back later because you'll rarely need to touch it, and it's dead-simple to reuse somewhere else. This pattern from the blog post of "fetching state from within a setTimeout" is rare, but your example of accessing state from within a callback should be manageable.

Here's the thing: even though the example from the blog post is strange, the advantage of hooks is that you can pull that pattern out into a hook! So instead of `useState`, you'd call your hook that returns the reactive value, a setter, and a getter that uses the ref under the hood. Then you can use that getter in the `setTimeout`, and you never have to think about this problem again when you have to do this for any other piece of state!
Why not just put a windmill on the car and reduce CO2 by increasing efficiency?

Well, this doesn't actually work because the drag of the windmill, even if you do something clever like put it in a tunnel, costs more than the energy recovered. Even an EV is still running mostly fossil based energy on average.

Drag is the big energy cost on a vehicle. Anything you mount on the vehicle to purposefully catch air is going to be a net negative.

My main laptop used to be a Thinkpad T530 from 2012 that I bought used off of eBay. I ran Linux.

I never worried about it at all. There's holes in the keyboard and through the laptop to deal with liquid spills. The case was a nice hard plastic with enough flex to prevent breaking.

Honestly, if I dropped it on the floor - I'd check the floor first for any damage.

Taking it apart was straightforward, albeit a bit frustrating. I found the MBP mid-2012 unibodys much, much easier to take apart and clean.

I recently decided to upgrade and bought a M1 MBP Pro off of a college kid wanting to get a gaming laptop. It's a huge upgrade and I actually find myself loving MacOS. Everything feels so nice and looks so nice.

But now I am just terrified for this laptop. It has a hard case. I'm meticulous about a clean keyboard and screen (fingerprint magnet). I keep any and all liquids very, very far away. I never place it anywhere where there may be dust.

I sometimes wonder if the stress is worth it. I'm tempted to buy myself an X220 or something else in the X series since the T530 was heavy to lug around.

In general, I think people need to think more critically about this "1 job for life" culture of the past. A lot of the supposed benefits of this former corporate culture (like a company-linked pension, or a system where your employer buys you home) just mean that companies exercise even more power over our lives and the economy.
I’m not sure what you mean. I’m saying that adding one example to the prompt given to ChatGPT would improve accuracy. In my experience, examples work better than instructions.

The request and response that I replied to would be a fine starting point. It already gets across keys aren’t translated but values are. I’d add a few more entries to show other things like “match the punctuation/capitalization level” and “use the source text for untranslatable names”.

Has Oracle disappeared?

The article is kind of true though, especially when you need a font for a small part of your website like headers, the licence often make it not worth it if you're not a company.

There's no middle ground between "here's your free font" and "pay me/us a lot of money".

Signals and hooks are solving different problems.

React was designed to allow you to think functionally about UI. Your UI should be a pure function of your state. This has always been the goal. All your code runs on every render unless you specifically tell it not to.

Signals are the opposite. A solidJS component runs once, and only the reactive bits ever update. You have to opt into reactivity instead of opting out of it.

The post gives an example of an unintuitive use of hooks, but misses the point. Yes, it's a tricky use case, but the ability to write custom hooks means you need to solve this problem once per codebase at most. The author's "kludgy" solution just needs to be put in a `useTimeout` hook (https://usehooks-ts.com/react-hook/use-timeout). The kludge shouldn't live in the component.

There are some weird cases when you rerender the whole world whenever state changes, but there are plenty of weird cases that it prevents. React's model encourages treating variables immutably and preferring pure functions for modeling your domain. This is hard, because it's not how most JS devs learn to write code before coming to React. But knowing that the whole world is going to rerender gives you tremendous certainty in other areas. Depending on how complex and reactive your UI is, maybe signals would work for you, but if most of what you see on the page is reactive, I'd probably prefer the React model.

Medicine is a great area for scientific fraud. Unless you research a super common disease you need to have the relevant patients (which means only a handful of people can replicate your study), the sample groups tend to be small, and there is a million other factors to explain away why your results may differ from another study. To the point that there is a large grey area between outright fraud and unconvincing results (small impact that may very well be noise).
Bad idea to give a startup $120m and their tech is based on ChatGPT.

Second, if they can use ChatGPT to to do customer experience, so can anyone else. There is no long term advantage to their business.
I'd argue, on the contrary, it's perfect for keywords: you recognized those mostly by shape anyway, so now they don't even look like actual names which is an upside for me.
