That's part of what bothers me when they combine residential and commercial use into a single figure, and then put all the onus on making homes as energy efficient as possible while entirely overlooking one of the major functional purposes of a home: to provide comfort.

It's a daffy one-sided approach that is unsustainable.
Most of the ideas at play here come from the functional programming world, which is why it’s often viewed from that lense.

React builds on functional reactive programming, something the FP world is known for[0]. I’m not saying it’s pure FP in the dogmatic sense, I just wanted to point out it’s closer to FP than the other paradigms.

Without the ability to interact with the outside world (side-effects), FP is not of much practical use. Not to say it’s bad or shouldn’t exist, just we need to add to it a bit to make it useful.

Why would we do that? Because the underlying ideas and principles provide a great foundation. Building on that to get FRP and algebraic effects, monads and so on, is very different to starting from OOP and brining FP ideas over.

React hooks are an interesting and tricky thing to put in a box, because they’re almost monads, almost thunks, almost algebraic effects. The interplay with fibers and components makes them hard to pin down, but they are much closer to functional than any other paradigm.

I had an infuriating variant of this across two M1 machines where they'd kernel panic while trying to hibernate at 0% battery.

And even plugging in a charger before it actually died wouldn't save it: It'd try to turn stay on but the pending hibernation would kick in and it'd die.

The "fix" for me was to turn off deep sleep. Technically now they'll drain more during sleep, but that's preferrable than being broken during sleep.

The whole experience was disappointingly Linux though. Having to read through the Console to figure out it was a kernel panic and not a power issue, having to read through Darwin sources to track down where exactly in the hibernation it was failing, not the kind of stuff I expect to deal with from Apple hardware.
It does make sense to avoid having servers that saturate their link with a zillion identical downloads on every deploy; but I wonder why they went for BitTorrent, rather than using multicast the way e.g. Windows enterprise installs do it.
I’ve actually heard of many restaurants doing this as well.

“May I recommend the salmon today sir?” often means the chef got a good price on it and the restaurant will gross more.

> considering it's Electron

It runs in a browser just in general (considering browsers have better access to ad/tracking blocking and other features to its sandbox, it likely wiser to skip the Electron bit) which helps get access to a broader range of devices (like Linux and BSD) in some cases, but there a a wealth of underpowered devices that can't run something this heavy. It seems all attempts at alternative clients for TUIs or native ETD up with cease and desists. Compare to Matrix and XMPP who both offer browser-based clients (both heavy and lightweight) as well as native clients, TUIs and you have a recipe for greater accessibility. Throw in that you can get E2EE and it's decentralized (and by proxy self-hostable) that you'd have to have literally the best UX to compete with that… and to me it's just meh (granted I only used it briefly, containerized, and for a specific client that that Discord without bridging was a good idea).
Thanks for trying it out! I think it is a speed problem: the app needs to pull in the data from the API and if you type too fast, it doesn't have that. But I'm just guessing. Maybe a loading state would help with that?

Small QoL things that I do with my automation. I do use Homebridge for things like connecting to my security system and thermostat.

1. Automate all the ambient lighting to turn on half an hour before sunset. Bonus points since we have a dog at home and I feel better leaving the lights on for him.

2. When we open the front door which is some 4ft away from our neighbor across, our TV lowers the volume to 5% and dims the living room's lighting. Gives our place a bit more privacy and hopefully doesn't disturb any of our neighbors.

3. When all of our phones have left the house, the security system arms itself. Also disarms when we get home.

4. When the temperature on the second floor gets to 76F, our motorized blackout blinds drop down on the second floor, turns on the air condition, and turns on our lights. This is TOTALLY a gimmick for me.

One thing I wish I could have are air purifiers that remembers its settings after its power cycled - so I can control it with a smart outlet/switch upon a certain PPM level. I know "smart" ones exist, but I actually draw the line there. I try to stick with things that have are Thread-enabled or are from brands that I trust.

The second best way is to only buy HP printers (without buying ink refills after the included set of supplies ran out).

The last time I checked, this was roughly the same price as buying ink refills.

I have just received an email: "Thank you for your interest in Atlassian.

They do. You can see people recommending Brother printers right here in this thread. I also switched to a Brother black and white laser printer years ago and never had another printing problem. Later I found a Brother color laser printer at an estate sale and used that for years (didn't really need color, but it was a good deal).

I don't know what the actual numbers are, but if I had to guess I'd say Brother has been stealing market share from HP for a while now, because their products are better. It's one of the top comments practically every time there's a thread like this.
But you can do that with algebraic effects. That’s kind of the point.

The people should themselves be managing their retirement corpus. Some would become rich, some would be poor but in the end they won't take money off the taxpayers.

Instead they gave their money to governments who immediately consumed, mismanaged, gave it to themselves and while kicking the can down the road with cheap loans.

Now, current governments are left with old people with no money demanding benefits and young people getting taxed into poverty.

> Is someone taking all the old copies from the used book store and destroying them?

"We haven't yet falsified everything, and there are still non-falsified copies remaining, so why worry?" - original versions in some dusty corner of an old book store are no good if the great majority of people is only exposed to fakes, and one in ten people who read those fakes eventually, possibly years later, learns their version was altered in unspecified ways.
Most of the time these are behind a firewall so bugs are not that dangerous. Also most of the companies that choose on-prem have their own sysadmins and are more capable to protect themselves.

On-prem requirements can be legal, but also it's a bad practice to leave core business processes and data outside of your control. What if the vendor decides to raise the prices (like Atlassian did) or to discontinue the product altogether?

The stability of the company can be hindered by a "management decision" outside of your control. That's why I think on-prem wouldn't be dead, even for smaller companies.

> I would guess that most suburbs are financially unsustainable in the long term because they pay less in taxes than it costs to maintain their infrastructure.

Again, that is something that might be true for some places but not others.

I know of suburbs that definitely pay for themselves. And it's not hard to see why -- the property taxes are high and many of the residents are paying high income taxes too. Plus, many residents of suburbs commute to work in cities, where they contribute to the success of businesses that pay taxes in those cities.

I also know that some of the new subdivisions outside of Sacramento have paid for all of their infrastructure via their HOA, so that all of the money to build and maintain the roads, sewers, and power lines was 100% paid for by the homeowners. That's also apparently a common model for new housing in Nevada.

These arguments about taxes are also a form of special pleading that we don't see much of in other debates. Taxes are redistribution. Quite a lot of people and organizations get more in benefits from the government than they pay for, e.g. welfare recipients and students getting grants, companies get subsidies, state governments move money around to pay for schools, etc. Nobody seriously argues that the police and fire departments should only serve people who pay income tax, or that people without children shouldn't be taxed to pay for schools. Yet for some reason people seem to think that suburbs should have a unique requirement to pay for themselves 100% and can't be sustained if they don't.
You can build serious UI’s without useEffect.

But it’s a powerful escape hatch like rust’s `unsafe` block. Rust can do amazing things to ensure safety of your program, but there’s still times where a human can do it better.

By signposting that, keeping it to limited blocks, and wrapping it up in a safe function you get the capability to do hard things, while exposing a safer API.

useEffect is similar, it lets you write the imperative synchronisation logic. For example if you need to interact with a DOM element that only has an imperative API, someone needs to do the work somewhere to wrap it in a declarative one. You can do that in a component with a useEffect hook, and then expose a declarative API.
Utilitarianism is false, but I think it is a very useful heuristic, where I think it being used (as a heuristic) more often would probably be beneficial at the margins.

There is no canonical way the aggregate utility between persons, and people probably don’t actually have utility functions. And, there are moral laws which should have at the least some weight when weighed against a “but this action seems to have better outcomes overall, on average”, and possibly infinite weight when weighed against such things.

Nevertheless.

Social Security isn’t federal spending. People pay into the trust fund, then withdraw when they retire. It is set up so that it cannot run a deficit.

However, congress raided the social security fund, spent the money, and now they are deflecting blame away from themselves by claiming the system was insolvent by design.
If you Google “passive solar vs. passivhaus” you will find a lot of results.

This one is the first result which explains the difference in terms: https://www.whitepebbleinteriors.com.au/the-difference-betwe...

I believe passivhaus as a term did originally arise/derive from solar house, but since then the terms have come to mean very different things. I wouldn’t say that solar house is still considered an umbrella term for passivhaus nowadays.

The question is, where does the government get the capital? If it's from taxpayers, their service has an asymmetric advantage and can drive out private competitors even if it's poorly managed, which is highly inefficient and results in a de facto government monopoly.

But it could work pretty well if it's funded by bonds it has to pay back out of subscription fees and a default causes everyone involved to be fired.

Okay, so let’s agree for the sake of argument that cables make up $1bn of Apple revenue.

What share of that is MFi cables in general? And what share of that is hypothetical MFi USB-C cables? At $4 a pop, you’re talking 125 million licensed third-party USB-C cables. Per quarter. That seems like an absurdly high number to me given the fact that most people will buy first-party cables. And hell, most people I know still use USB-A to Lightning cables to charge their phones at excruciatingly slow speeds. But sure. Fine. Half a billion licensed third party USB-C cables per year. Half a billion in revenue over a holiday quarter.

To put some share of your $200Bn/yr cash cow at risk? Plus risking the downstream halo purchases of other highly-profitable products in the ecosystem, including first-party cables?

You. Are. Out. Of. Your. Mind.

If this rumor is true, there’s undoubtedly a plausible business reason. Cannibalizing their most popular product to make pocket change on licensing fees does not even pass a basic smell test.

In 2022, React introduced version 18, completely changing how React applications were developed and maintained. It introduced various new features, such as an advanced transition API, automatic batching, React suspense, and new server components.

Version 18 brought about a more high-performing framework, thus enabling developers to build single-page applications that perform better and faster. However, there are other places it has benefits. Opinionated frameworks such as Remix, Relay, and NextJS widely embraced the release of React 18 and introduced support for it in no time.

So, this article will address how a developer can utilize the features of React 18 on a NextJS project.

Mario Kart Tour is letting you trade one currency that is paid for another that is earned. That "taints" the currency that can be earned by allowing them to use it to hide the real cost of an item.

And to top it off here Mario Kart is artificially limiting how many of the "earned" currency you can actually earn per day.

I enjoyed your writing, but disagree with your premise that creationism and the steady-state model are at odds. In fact, Lemaître was opposed to mixing science with religion and insisted the two were never in conflict. Whether the universe originated from a primeval atom (Lemaître's words) or is a Poincaré recurrence is completely orthogonal to Voltaire's question of the watchmaker - regardless whether time is cyclic or not still leaves open the question of why there is a clock to begin with, instead of nothing at all? The mechanics of the clock are mostly immaterial.
