It’s better than Slack now.

I grimaced when we started using Slack back in 2016: those ~200ms UI delays between switching conversation tabs (and the ~3s freezes when switching accounts) were incredibly grating - but we hoped they’d fix the worst user-facing parts of Electron (and the excessive RAM usage) but 7 years later it’s still as bad as it’s always been.

What’s their excuse?

My problem with hooks isn't the philosophy but the ergonomics and footguns it creates.

Compare that with Vue composition api, and you can see how idea of hooks can be implemented much better[0]

Yes that is the intention of SS.

I don't know if I agree with your example figures. SS was meant to be self-funding, and lately it hasn't been. This is partially because people are living longer.

Furthermore, the decline of pensions and rise of the 401(k) has enabled Americans to blow their opportunity to save for retirement, often on things like housing and college tuition (but that's another topic).

I think that either SS needs to be THE retirement plan, or it's the 401(k). As someone who maxes out their 401(k) each year, I do not want to participate into SS. I don't want it taken out of my paycheck, because that money would otherwise go into my 401(k) (technically), which I have more control over (where it's invested), which I can draw from in case of hardship, and which I can access at 55 1/2 instead of 65.

I do think SS is a good safety net to have, and I don't necessarily want to be disqualified from it because I "opted" for a 401(k), but realistically SS payments are so low relative to the cost of living that if I found myself living on it exclusively, I'd probably be only slightly more-comfortable than if I didn't have it. It's a shitty retirement either way. You're definitely not traveling or eating out or anything like that.

Interesting that you seem to imply that you would be just fine with canceling people or with the chilling effects of speaking if the "kind of speech" fit some criteria that you personally have.
It's not /that/ expensive if you stick to B&W. I mean I can pick up a fairly good 35mm Praktica body, Zeiss nifty fifty, some rolls of Ilford, all the chemicals, tank, dark room bag and film puller for less than half the price of my Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 lens. As for scanning, you can do that with your DSLR/mirrorless, a lamp and some diffusing plastic.

But yeah, is it worth the hassle? Probably not.
When you're right you're right. I got nothing in retort - I missed the forest for the trees there.

Good point, well made.
I haven't used SolidJS, so I can't comment much. But Signals have very good developer ergonomics. But from my experience other frameworks that use them come with drawbacks that I don't get with react. So MobX+React works better for me than - let's say vue.

From a brief look at their website, the downsides for using SolidJs for me seem pretty big. At the very first example, if you change it slightly you can see my problems:

const CountingComponent = () => {
const [count, setCount] = createSignal(0);
const interval = setInterval(
() => setCount(count => count + 1),
1000
);
onCleanup(() => clearInterval(interval));
if (count() % 2 == 0) {
return <div>Even count value is {count()}</div>;
}
return <div>Odd count value is {count()}</div>;
};

1. MobX let's me use objects without additional syntax (createSignal, count() instrad of just count)

2. The fact that the component does not rerender and that my code does not automatically change between even and odd text means I'll probably need to have an additional mental model for writing SolidJS components. Using React+MobX I just write as I would write any other function and it'll just work (There's magic involved, but manageable magic)
The coorelation of HFCS being put in literally everything since the 1970s (Campbell's soup contained HFCS until last year, most major bread brands use it, etc) and the explosion in weight gain and obesity in America would be one hell of a coincidence.

Chart: https://www.ers.usda.gov/webdocs/charts/58862/findings2_fig0...

Between that and growth in sedentary lifestyles you have a pretty good recipe... if the low carb/Keto people are right (and in my personal experience carb sequestration works very well for weight loss and is way more sustainable long term than starving yourself purely for caloric reduction).

The obsession with calories by medical authorities (and disinterested doctors) as the go-to solution for weight loss since the 1970s may have served as a massive distraction.

In my opinion, React was pretty much complete without the introduction of Hooks.
Shifting from the previous Component-derived mental models to Hooks was a cause of many runtime issues in at least 2 companies that I worked for.

Unfortunately, React went from less-capable and more understandable to more-capable and less-understandable model. But yeah, that's just a newbie-coder take.
Stick to your unicorn...
You all will hate this: I've been a pro coder for 44 years, at a high level. I was an early Assembly programmer on the pre-release Mac in '83, a 3D graphics researcher during most of the 80's, OS developer for 3D0 & the first PlayStation, and quite a bit more. I have over 40 high profile commercial applications published.

I think React creates needless complexity. The software I write is complex by it's nature, I do not need the software I create my application within to exponentially increase that complexity. React does not just let one write code and create one's application, React dictates how the code is written, and if that does not fit with one's application structure you must change it. And React developers cannot wrap their heads around anything other than React's dictated way to write React, so... they are useless.

So, what do I use: nothing. I just write html/css with direct DOM access via js, very minimally. Dicking around with the web page is the least priority of the applications I write, and the freedom to create the application structure as the purpose of the application dictates is far more important to my clients. Plus, I do not write consumer click bait vehicle software, I write software for people to accomplish things, typically complex things of the nature an engineer, designer, or architect would use.

Yes it doesn't sound crazy because you're not describing reality - you're describing the fictional world where you are being victimised because you're not a minority. This line of reasoning is a favourite with white supremacists and "actually it's racist to try to address racism" is the first step on that road.
Not sure what you're asking me.
You can't collect SS until you are 65, 65 - 45 = 20, most people are employed by 20.

There are probably more people who pay more into SS than they get back, than you think, whether they make it to age 68 or not. Many Americans don't even make it to 65 because they had a heart attack at 58... So yes I would agree that the odds of you not making it to 68 but making it to 65, are low, but even at 68 you're still way way underwater vs what you paid in over your career.

> This would imply that every scoring function is a fact checker

Right. A "fact checker" in this meaning is a function that checks against a body of facts. A "fact checker" in the colloquial meaning is someone performing a check against the body of facts they can find in resources available to them. I don't think this takes away anything from the term, but it does highlight that the task is not objective, and that the result depends on feeding the function with the correct body of facts.

What follows is that if you feed ChatGPT the "correct" body of facts, you might get a fact checker in the colloquial meaning.

That "fact checker" is ill-defined matters a lot because the argument here was that you can't do any reasoning if you don't have a truth model (which I guess was implied to be the "fact checker"). And if the argument is based on ill-defined terms, then it doesn't prove anything about whether GPT can do reasoning or not.

EDIT: Actually, scratch it. I do mean that any knowledge, text => boolean function is a "fact checker" and constitutes a "truth model". If some other "truth model" is meant, please explain, because I don't see how this one can be used to prove anything about the ability to reason based on whether someone implements it or not.

> Words have power when used for persuasion.

Words used for persuasion on a large enough scale become imbued with a default associated meaning.

> Banning the words does nothing to change the persuasive power of people who would use language to convince other people to do evil things.

Do you really believe there is no power in words being repeated? Do you not believe that the real racists are bothered by not being able to espouse their usual rhetoric freely?

Much more annoyed than the free- speech advocates in this thread whose group definitely has no overlap with the real racists.

Ask HN: What is formula for karma per comment for other users?
Trying to figure out how to accurately get the average karma per comment and appears it is not possible.

(For example, karma for posts and comments is merged together — but quick Google appears to show karma points for posts are calculated as the number of upvotes a given user's content has received minus the number of downvotes; since HN hides downvotes, appears it’s impossible to separate karma from submissions and comments.)

Am I missing something?

EDIT: Title to include “for other users” since it appears per comments below it’s possible to get average karma per comment for yourself per this formula:

Many new photographers get into it because they were inspired by a certain type of photography. If the gear you have does not match what you want to do, you are going to be disappointed.

As an extreme example, if you want to take high resolution pictures of distant planets, you are going to need a telescope.

You are going to have more flexibility with gear choice if you are flexible with the photos you want to take.

If I stuck to kit lens and no photoshop, I may have given up on photography pretty soon.

I came from the video game world. I used to program for the Playstation 1 and 2. For me, all these reactive frameworks are baffling. Is it weird that I just prefer immediate mode UIs and roll my own state management and "reactivity" on a project by project basis?

I may be wrong here, or it could be my age showing, but I feel like explicit UI systems like that might be more verbose, but I find them more accessible to dive into and less "magic".

I'm totally lost and baffled by everyone's enthusiasm for these increasingly arcane and complex abstractions. I suppose they are necessities that arise when you reach a scale that I have not yet encountered (I work on small to medium sized teams of a dozen or dozens rather than hundreds of programmers).
Sure... but that presupposes Unix based desktop and server systems are obscure and that the hardware in question is new. In reality, neither is accurate.

A huge number of people and organizations run Unix based systems and TPM devices have been around for a pretty long time (at least by tech standards).

Can't say I relate to this, interesting perspective nonetheless.

This line however "It is not obvious that your component re-renders on state updates." is kinda strange, maybe it's not obvious if you didn't read any documentation or tutorial?

also "You could build your own framework in an hour using reactive primitives [...]" is the same as when people say "just make your own sorting algoritm", yeah sure you can get the exact behaviour you want, but come on.

Remember the term here is “associated”. If you spend a lot of time with people from diverse mental backgrounds, which is much harder to do than you might think, you’ll easily see that people who lack education, common sense, or the necessary context to be intelligent to pick much worse goals than people who aren’t in that position. Of course none of us humans are particularly intelligent, and all of us are stupid. Being a human is not intrinsically about intelligence - being a human is about being a social mammal. It’s funny seeing how rationalists often fail to exercise while emphasizing their own rationality - a perfect contradiction demonstrated by the difference between imagination and bodily realities.

I wish more of the Rust Community are like you and own up to the issue. And then I wouldn't have to keep repeating the same thing like I am a troll. The "Keep it Technical" has been the Rust community answer for years, is basically asking the rest of world to tolerate RESF ( Rust Evangelism Strike Force), while any push back against Rust ( or specifically RESF ) are "un-helpful" and they take zero tolerance. So I should tolerate your ideals while you have zero tolerance with mine? Does it sound familiar to some real world Silicon Valley politics?

The only reason why some are suggesting they haven't seen RESF recently, is because it has gotten to the point where the backlash, which used to be a minority and voiceless finally becomes the mainstream. And so they back down.

And to the original question, and in my previous comment, when was the last time you saw people telling you to use Zig in a Rust thread? ZERO. The comments are mostly, if not 99% about how they couldn't deal with Rust's complexity, they call themselves an idiot and they only wanted a Better C, which the answer to that question is always Das C, Zig or some other contenders. In which Rust Fans will always find it offensive. Even mentioning Ada / SPARK being a languages aiming for correctness is somehow "trolling". And it is not the first time I have been told to stop mentioning Ada.

And yet, how many times has Rust Supporters came into a Zig thread ( or other language ) telling the world how Zig / X is memory Unsafe and Rust does it better? To the point so detrimental that they founder of Zig is crying or begging publicly to give Zig the language some breathing space?

I'm reading this as a difference between US and European style laws. It's my observation that Europe creates tighter legal frameworks with fewer loopholes. The US always seems to target specific bad behaviors and then acts surprised when corporations exploit the swiss cheese loopholes.

Previously disagreeable behaviors suddenly look acceptable because they were not specifically made banned when new legislation was passed. By allowing zero rating, ISP's could craft plans where you get "packages" of sites and then anything not under a subscription falls into a more austere X bytes at S speed bucket. Yes, they're doing that yet but such a thing could happen by not specifically stopping it in advance.
