> It really has a bunch of powerful properties one might not expect.

Can you elaborate on this?

> a class is a function, but that function is invoked once. Its methods can be called many times, but having a pure render() method (like in class-based React) is really a class cosplaying as a function. Functions are more honest to what React is trying to be

useState() is a function cosplaying as a class ;) and that's really my biggest hangup. It seems like react components are not quite functions nor are they classes but rather somewhere in between... And because of JS quirks and perhaps the internal architecture/mental model, functions end up being a better choice.

> in React, the same piece of state can conceptually be thought of having more than a single value (kind of like being in parallel worlds). Classes don't model that well

Maybe I'm missing something but this seems like a false dichotomy because the equivalent in the class-based model would be the render function, not the class itself. And in that sense, your set of render functions can also have multiple values given a state. Though just writing this out does make functions feel a bit simpler.

Admittedly, you've mostly convinced me! And after reading through the new documentation, going function-only feels a lot cleaner than it did when I learned react using the old docs.
No. This was NEVER implied at all.

This only ever applied to the *Team* accounts. I have a paid non-team/personal account, but I am also aware that I could have a free personal account if I didn't need private repositories.

In other words, they weren't clear enough in their communication, which is what they're apologizing for.

But as prices go up customers cancel, and so then there is pressure to decrease prices.

The networks can’t achieve economies of scale with independent apps so they have to cave to price pressure too.
What have they produced since 1940?
Sort of. There's a nexus between antitrust and the unions, but in terms of why someone can't just quit and go work for another team, that relies mostly on what's called a "negative covenant" that's in all of the standard player contracts and related clauses and it involves jumping between leagues or even sports as well, so the anti-trust surface is a bit different or possibly not in the mix, and can also involve individual sports like tennis or boxing.
A lot of the other anti-competitive things sports leagues get away with are because of what you're talking about, but the reason every California-based professional athlete can't just rip up their contract and walk away is they have a different kind of reasoning going into it based on their rarity.
This article left me with a profound sadness.

Not only was it paint-by-numbers, it managed to downplay its own alarm, undercutting the point of reading the article in the first place: for if AI is so 'dreary', then why are we dancing like water drops on a hot skillet?

The overall point of this piece seemed to be an attempt by a 'harrumph' (a term a friend of mine coined for out-of-touch English department creatures) to steer the conversation about AI back towards something the author actually knows something about.

It reminded me of WWI generals, sending wave after wave of calvary towards death, unable to ken that horses now had nothing to do with warfare.

Harrumphs gotta harrumph. In doing so, they will miss out on the now-vanishing window to actually say something meaningful and novel about this terrifying new world into which we have awoken.

It's a shame, because much vital conversation must occur. Immediately. Instanter. Now.

The material analysis (that AI represents wealth concentration) is surely correct, but also well beside the point. We need to move the conversation along to UBI, social housing, and counselling for the hundreds of millions of white-collar workers who no longer have marketable skills.
There are entire sectors of the economy that LLMs can't touch - hospitality, manufacturing, caregivers, religious sectors, live-action entertainment, etc. Sure some of these will be replaced by robots but there will always be new jobs too.

Good call out. A thing I've noticed is that sometimes the surveys are a response to conditions being super toxic and terrible. Even when they're undertaken for good reasons (e.g., to learn how to fix it) by then so much trust has been lost that the responses are worthless.

The best time to plant a "tree" is when things aren't fucked. Maybe the second best time isn't now.
I hope your comment ages better than I think it will.
The jankiness of JS combined with the correctness of TS really is a powerful combo. Especially stuff like string keys and const arrays as enums make safe and readable code without a lot ceremony.

The big problem is the gap between TS and JS. User defined typeguards are a usable work around but it would be nice to be able to use a native isMyType function.

Also would be nice to have constraints natively in types. Like string lengths or max ints.
> The Dutch have a long history of optimizing the farming process with a long history of ever increasing regulations.

Genuinely curious, was this meant to be a sarcastic comment? Because it does sound like one. Fundamentally, regulations tend to have a limiting/taxing effect. Only in some cases do they inadvertently create a game-able system which encourages optimization to circumvent those limitations/taxes, i.e. automation.
New decorators are so good.

I absolutely hated how the experimental ones worked and try to avoid using libraries that use it.

What sort of facts are you thinking of? There are plenty of surface level facts that another model or a human should easily be able to verify as true or not. Was President Obama the 41st president of the United States, does 2+2 = 5, was Elvis the son of an artist, etc
> I'd love to see a community that helps people organize strikes and coordinate between multiple companies.

Unfortunately solidarity strikes were so successful for workers for much of the 20th century, they were criminalised in parts of the English-speaking world from the 80s onward.
Well exactly, but these are documented with the perpetrators evident, I doubt these maniacs are the kind to bother changing the default-open privacy settings on telegram, the group is known and they're actively talking about administering drugs which aren't approved, are known damaging, and are not qualified to do so.

The only proactive solution is deterrence, which starts with dealing with the idiots doing it in public.
I really don't think React is OOP. There is no misdirection here — it really is a different conceptual model.

Even if we set aside implementation inheritance, class hierarchies, and all that jazz that got associated with modern OOP, fundamentally classical OOP is message passing. React components don't pass messages to each other in that sense. The data flows strictly down. Re-rendering is not message passing but conceptually reevaluating a part of a lazy continuously reactive function call tree.

It's not about "sleeping easier at night" etc, it's just a different model. If you're curious to entertain this idea for a bit, I have an article you might enjoy reading: https://overreacted.io/react-as-a-ui-runtime/
> They seem to want net-zero energy at any cost, even if it means people will suffer.

I think you misspelled "net zero carbon."

And forget politicians, I want net zero carbon. Though I wouldn't exactly say "at any cost," I'm willing to pay more myself and see others suffer in order to get there.

Because people will suffer more if we don't.

I'm also getting increasingly skeptical of but-other-countries argument: America's chip war with China has demonstrated that nations are willing to cut off major trade partners if they decide it's a matter of national security. I'm giving less than ten years before carbon tariffs are everywhere.
No, the meme of "drug nexus" being a "get out of jail" card is just an internet meme. It only applies to drug possession or drug use cases (like intoxication). It doesn't apply to crimes where drug use is irrelevant to the charges (such as larceny), or a lesser charge (such as compared to assault,, etc.)

For most of my clients, the cases were about whether they had mental disorders. And the consequence of being deemed to have a mental disorder that caused them to offend was involuntary commitment to a mental hospital for at least as long as their original prison sentence (and for violent offenders, theoretically for the rest of their lives).
And then we have another framework! This is why we have so many :D

No, there are not. Everything in the economy is connected and you can't have a vibrant industry without customers. The customers of hospitality/entertainment/healthcare/etc businesses are largely the middle class who will be put out of work by LLMs. So the person who today makes $200/night in tips waiting tables at a nice restaurant.... who will be buying those meals?
C# has a lot of pattern-matching support today, including an expression-switch form:

Not even experts in the domain could see themselves being replaced and pivot in time. What hope does an ordinary person have in preparing for what’s coming? Telling people to retrain will not be an acceptable answer because no one can predict which skills will be safe from AI in 5 years.
It's doable. I've built some very large scale tax software products in past roles, and have a POV and tons of subject matter expertise on this. The "tax content" issue is solvable, and AI can probably make this easier. I don't have capacity to lead this right now, but would happily contribute.

At once I sympathize with your viewpoint and also have to say that React is the longest I've ever seen a Javascript thing stay in the notoriously fickle good graces of the frontend world – short of perhaps jQuery.

Railing against it is railing against the best-in-class example of what you want... even if it still falls short of what you want. A decade is nothing to sneeze at.

That's a fair assessment, IMO. I believe that only a small, small minority of humans are going to be out to scam or do fraud (personal belief, obviously) and so from that lens, I hate it when people try and paint a group of people with a broad brush simply because they might believe something that is not factually correct, but in reality it's the best solution for now.

What I am arguing here, is that the 3000 people who have "long covid" aren't responsible for categorizing their disease, they are sick and just want to feel better. It's the medical community's responsibility to determine if that's because "long covid" is an actual disease, or if it's a set of disparate symptoms that many people have that were kicked off by covid, or something else entirely. Just because their "government services applications paperwork" (or whatever we call that stuff) says "long covid" that does not mean that later we should say they were defrauding the goverment if we find out they were actually suffering from a major lung cancer and it just so happened to coincide with some symptoms many other people were having due to everyone getting covid around the same time and as such their doctor(s) put "long covid" down as a probable cause.

It's a logical fallacy that the OP made, and I pointed out that it is unlikely all 3000 are scammers. I am sure some percentage of those people are scammers, statistically.

I work for a data company with an enterprise focus. Anything that goes into the company blog is vetted, researched and published with a reasonably high level quality requirement.

We are not actually interested in content generation or content churn with AI (period). But AI as a personal content helper is proving to be somewhat useful for me.
That's a good point, I was just kind of assuming the related periodicity which is not a valid assumption to make. But the parent of the post to which I had replied specified whole number ratios between the periods.

Euclidean sequencers can be useful though in that they model a variety of common rhythms, and with tempo synchronized delay they can give forth a whole lot more common rhythms. Though nothing that can't be achieved a million other ways like anything else with music.

"home away from home" makes sense, but if you take away the away, I personally can't make sense of it anymore - if it's "from home", you are doing it (whatever "home" may mean when used as a verb) while you're at home, like in "work from home", so... ?!
How I Made $78,000 With My Blog in 2022
Pretty clearly a typo
You're absolutely right.

I live on the peninsula. We've had many more than 4-5 power outages the last couple of years. Usually they last 4-8 hours, but we've had several that lasted for days, including the most recent one which was 48-hours (and we had one a few weeks ago for 24-hours). They've re-routed power, not fixed the actual cause, so some of our neighborhood is still without power. The cause is a huge mess of trees, wires, and broken poles. We spoke to a PG&E worker and he said it will probably take about 36-hours to fix, it's not high priority (we still have traffic lights out in town), and they probably won't work on it over the weekend. So some of our neighbors are looking at a week-long outage.

It's been cold here, with temperatures down in the 30s some nights. The temperature in our house was less than 50 degrees this morning. We do have a wood burning fireplace, but we've never used it, so I'm hesitant to do so unless we really need it. Even then, it's not enough to heat the whole house.

We've finally decided to get some alternative power here. Probably solar+battery with natural gas generation as backup (before that's illegal). We can only sort-of afford it. I don't know what other people are going to do.

If you care at all about bias and diversity, you may want to learn more about how to construct interviews that reduce both. No, every set of questions and every interview technique is not equal when it comes to bias. I'd suggest the book "Becoming the Evidence-Based Manager" by Gary Latham.

On the topic of hiring, a "Job Simulation" is one of the most objective measures, which is pretty close to what a practical test is. Questions about things candidates actually did is another important technique (e.g. tell me about a time you ...), and the third category of techniques that work is giving hypothetical situations that they need to explain how they would respond to.

Although informal conversations are common in industry, they are some of the worst techniques. For example, if you start with a "coffee chat" research has shown that most people more or less make up their mind in that first meeting then bias the rest of the interview results to unknowingly justify their decision.
They had literally 50 years to compromise. The first time this problem came up was in the 1970s.

I agree with this, and I mostly empathize with the purity aesthetic that comes with it. But I think in practice, you need to do a lot of work for common operations that might have entire libraries dedicated to them in React. If you're a pro developer obsessed with purism, you probably wouldn't use those libraries anyway. But newbies don't have time to worry about re-inventing the wheel (or at least, we shouldn't encourage them to do that, since it will probably be a pretty shitty wheel).

All that said, I absolutely love Deno, and I think we should encourage new developers to use it, especially since it sidesteps the need for build steps in many cases.
