The docs are kinda poor on them IMHO. They don't approach the hooks from first principles. For example look up the useImperativeHandle hook docs. Use those to explain simple questions:

> Why do you need this?

> Why can't I just update the ref however I want!

Look up forwardRef:

> Why can't I just access ref as a prop?

Further, everyone is trying to cram all logic into hooks and components. It's to the point of insanity. Look, React is so popular I know most are using it for throw away marketing sites and other low-tier shit (sorry y'all but you know it) but.. This architecture doesn't fly in large apps; ee b2b etc.

React Router v6 seems to have no non-hook based APIs that aren't marked private!? They screwed the pooch on useNavigation; it causes unnecessary re-renders. Surprise surprise, but if they can't get it right...
That’s a real problem. I consider myself a leftist and thought HN was too libertarian in 2010 but that it’s gotten more balanced since then. I used to be involved with proggit and thought they were a bunch of communists who could not stand it that you were interested in the business end of things or at all into programming for the money.

Anybody else could find subreddits that they think cringeworthy, a barren wasteland, or worse.

(As for my politics I seem to be the leftmost in a right leaning batch or the rightmost in a left leaning batch.)
You mean the same neurons that don't really exist, other than as a connection from weight to weight, so quite reasonable to see as the weights themselves, because what else is available for us to reference as neurons in absentia those connections?

I just spent a few lovely days in the desert shooting the bloom happening there (Joshua Tree, mostly Cottonwood area). I've dabbled in photography for about 20 years but I'm a no-talent casual at it. The small bag with my kit is altogether worth only a grand...

My biggest frustration at the moment is that there isn't an ideal home for my photos. I tried Smugmug, but found I didn't use it enough to justify the pricing. It targets Real Photographers and takes a little bit of fiddling about to get it set up. Instagram is Insta-no. Picasa is just another stone in Google's Graveyard. I'm >this< close to self-hosting Lychee, but one of the attractions to photography for me is that it's more about getting out and going places and aiming a camera at things, and I don't really want to corrupt that with the same sort of stuff I already do for a day job.

I'm never gonna sell a photo but friends and family like to see some of the things I've seen. Does anyone have a glowing review to offer for some photo hosting and management service?
Like everyone else, he was insured for the full amount in the end. Wasn't the "bailout" really about ensuring people with his kind of wealth are insured?
You call other devs “infants” but are unable to understand how hooks work. It’s really not complicated under the hood.

Iran mines it’s Uranium locally, whilst it doesn’t have the reserves needed for global export its more than enough for a substantial enrichment program.
Nope, YouTube TV still has ads. A lot of people still pay for it because of the convenience of the DVR and accessibility on all devices without having to maintain anything, but the price to benefit calculation is certainly changing after this.
What don’t you like, and what do you prefer? I like having view be a function of state (like in traditional web apps, except richly interactive).
Conveniently too. Last year I went to a friend's house to watch a football game and he refuses to pay for YouTube TV or any sports streaming because 'theres free streams on the internet'.

He had to get up every 5 minutes to refresh Chrome on his laptop he had connected to the TV or find a new stream because they get taken down so quickly.

70$ a month is well worth ever dealing with that shit
Ask HN: It is 2023, how do you build your JavaScript?
There are quite a few different ways to build js out there, including using the tried and trusted Webpack.

Given that we have javascript + modern syntax, typescript, css, things like tailwind, packaging, compressing, react, etc... what is a build people use nowadays?

Just trying to put the feelers out because I feel like I am a couple of years out of date and would hate to just jump on new projects using tools the community is moving away from.

Even in a world of perfect AI, there will be plenty of jobs. Anything involving movement and manipulation of matter will still require humans for the time being. We’re not at a point yet where an intelligent an AI could simply build you a house without human labor involved.

Many of these jobs are cheap and easy to understand and quick to train in. These aren’t the kind of jobs people probably wanted, but they’ll be there.

yes, the above is true. Kind of shocked that anyone could get through an intro CS course without having knowledge of this as it is a very common type of sequence.

It also generalizes, apparently "Fibonacci sequences" are defined by the initial 2 values, with the rule mentioned above. I thought this was weird once but upon checking it it is true that, for example, 4 5 9 14 23 37 would also be Fib{4,5} or something. Idk it's been a long time.
Natural uranium isn’t particularly radioactive, as long as you don’t ingest or inhale it you’ll be fine.

Better is hard to qualify but I'll add my 2 cents:

- for functional programmers TS offers lots of flexibility and power many other languages including statically typed and pure don't

- TS functions or methods that throw don't show up in the type system (they do in Java)

I hope TS keeps getting stricter.
We built those and got them running one evening at a Meetup in Erlangen - looks like they had to switch to a temperature/humidity sensor that requires soldering the pins on, because the ones we used back then came ready to plug in, not a soldering iron in sight.
In technical circles, I doubt it.

ICs can do whatever they want. Performance is based on impact, so you have to pick the right things to work on yourself.

There are very few non-performers because the calibration process is brutal and efficient.

Maybe there are non-technical realms of empire building like any megacorp, but that would be nothing new.
The Apollo engineers knew this and it factored into their choice. For whatever reason not enough consideration was given to full up ground tests where the same atmosphere would be used, but at 1atm.

The rise of AI isn't causing a drop in tech jobs. Its the crazy over hiring that happened during 2020/2021, the lack of confidence in the economy, and rising interest rates.

The AI boom overall will most likely add more jobs to tech with everyone wanting to invest resources in it.

In the correct dose ivermectin has few if any side effects, at least compared to over the counter medicines like aspirin. the problem here is using poorly dosed veterinary forms, that aren't meant for internal use.

I feel like on the principle of harm reduction we should just let these people try it, in the correct, safe, form/dose with medical supervision.

As an aside, ivermectin is a GlyR agonist, so it seems at least scientifically plausible it could do something for some people with autism. But I'm not a doctor, just an autist with a special interest in psychopharmacology.
A lot of people don't understand what's going on here. Maybe you haven't worked for a large company but it operates quite differently to a small company.

Two things can be true at once: a company can both need to hire and people at that company can have difficulty finding a role. These are not contradictory statements.

Orgs and teams within large companies have budgets and/or head counts. They need to "spend" these to hire. They hire with external hires and internal transfers. Like any recruitment it can take time. A given position might have a bunch of external and internal candidates. Team may also want to keep head count open to use opportunistically.

If you are employed at a large company, you may be competing with a bunch of internal and external candidates for a job. You can fail to find a position and these positions are being filled by other people.

Think about it this way: we have an unemployment rate that is in large part transitional because of these time factors. We won't hit 0% unemployment. That's just not possible.

Saying failure to find an internal job is evidence of over-hiring is like saying "there is no labor shortage because I could not get a job" (side note: for completeness, "labor shortage" isn't realy anyway; there are only "wage deficits" not "labor shortages").
IMO this stems from the massive layoffs across the field which align more closely with timing here than the acquisition and change of management. Not that either are exclusive reasons.
Retraining only works if there are jobs available.
I did, and I should've listed it. Its my third favorite typed language. At the time I was trying it, its type system wasn't as expressive as TS is today (no algebraic data types, no Result<T> error modelling in the type system etc), but LINQ with its clean syntax and ease of use is something I've missed in every language since (scala `for` syntax looks really awkward by comparison).

The FDIC insures the entirety of the deposits either way.

> Insurance only pays out . . . if a bank fails

That's a good point. So one difference is that while the money is equally insured in both cases, the payout dynamics would change. Very roughly, the amount of a payout might be expected to go down in the cross-bank case (smaller account values, but then also more accounts per bank, so it isn't quite so simple), and the likelihood of a payout might be expected to go up (higher chance of failure with more and smaller banks). But this all depends on how interlocked the banks become; in the extreme they could end up functionally a single bank.

The first thing that came to mind for me is somewhat related: Spreading deposits across banks is relatively better for small banks and worse for big ones, since the small banks gain deposits and the big banks lose them. So you can definitely argue there's some advantage to keeping a lower insurance limit, although it gets murkier when we bring behavioral considerations and "too big to fail" into the picture.
> was too expensive.

This is probably the real problem. Translators are payed shit nowadays for what is a really high-skill job. I have translators in the extended family who had to give up on that line of work because the pay wouldn’t sustain them anymore.

Yep! It could be, though we had to be be very focused on the channel so we started with Slack and Discord.

Personally I think there's less value in an interface over the docs vs a community. Engineers might prefer faster answers from docs, but companies are going to prefer having their users in a central place where they can talk to them.
Yep pretty much this. I was a contract interviewer with Karat for a few years and taught people how to conduct interviews. There's a graded scale of assistance, anything more than gentle prompting to re-read your code or the error output starts counting against you. If I have to point out a block of code or even a line, then that's getting to the point that most clients will pass you over when they review your interview, so the rules are we don't give that stuff proactively.
Google has decided to use Youtube branding for anything media related. Youtube Music instead of Google Play Music, Youtube Movies & TV instead of Google Play Movies & TV (which is hanging on for now).

I wish non-union worker organizations would get more traction, not everything really works well in the labor union model. Eg. professional workers more traditionally organized into guilds yet I've never seen any movements toward organizing modern professions into guilds.
I bet people said the same about AI when Watson won Jeopardy. A more real catalyst could be the recent tech sector cooldown. The again, would someone dare unionizing when your position could be cut.
Right, I'm not arguing that they made no mistakes. That is, as the post above me said, things seem to have worked out about how they should have.
Our TV bill just went up and I'm debating exploring YT TV.

What I want is the main Sports Networks (FS1, FS2, ESPN, ESPN2), my Regional Sports Network (but that's a Bally channel now -- and that's kind of a bit of a mess at the moment), and MLB TV (the cable channel, not their own MLB service).

I also want "DVR" for everything, and I want to be able to skip the ads (ideally with a +30s button).

I typically watch my games delayed so I can skip the ads, or even just plain "later". We DVR everything else.

Will YT TV let me do that?
You joke, but an economy that is 97% artists (aka content creators) sounds... good? Isn't this the utopic end goal after we automate the scarcity out of our lifes?
I haven't read that book in 30 years, but the description of experiencing the launch from inside the craft was so succinct and evocative I still think about it from time to time.

"God was knocking and he wanted in bad."
Wow. Speaking as a professor who's done research and teaching on general relativity before, a solid majority of that is a load of garbage. (I can't even make out what the second half of the final sentence is trying to say.)

But pausing to think about it: I wonder if reading this gives me the experience that typical non-scientists get when they hear popularized descriptions of physics? Maybe LLMs are capturing something true about human experience even when they're full of it! [Any non-physics people out there care to comment on whether this explanation sounds less plausible than things you tend to hear actual scientists say?]
The union might literally want a seat reserved on the board, at licensing and terms negotiations, etc — to make sure the company stays/moves in a direction that employees support and that doesn’t squander employee loyalty in agreements that negatively impact them.
It’s called brokered deposits, there is not reason to not do it if it’s just sitting in bank acccount, but if the $ size gets large (>$25m it can be cumbersome), and if there is a lot of operational activity it doesn’t make much sense.

What’s unforgivable is why these large depositors that didn’t tend this cash for short term operational needs didn’t have the funds in govt securities in an insured brokerage account at a trust company…

Where many venture backed companies got hung up though is that the terms of venture debt provided by SVB required the borrowers to keep use SVB as their bank…

Ok sorry. Then it was a misunderstanding of my side as non native speaker. I always assumed it means recruiter since I’ve so far never seen the word used in another context
That happened to me, but I started as an intern so there was a lot of room to grow. If you come in as a mid-level engineer it'll take a while to get a "permanent" raise that high.

But I'd say in a FAANG the target isn't salary growth, it's getting enough stock refreshers to avoid TC falloffs, which you should be able to do through good perf reviews and promos.
And now I'm here reading your comment, small world. Good luck with your theme!
Purchased a Brother HL-L2360DN laser printer many years ago for the grand total of £83. Still feels like a steal to this day. It does have network printing, but not WiFi, only an ethernet connection.
I only print sporadically, but when I do I want it to be reliable. And it never disappoints. I've changed the toner maybe once or twice.

I've recently purchased a Brother PT-H110 label maker which uses thermal printing. It has a very robust construction as with all things from Brother.
It has helped me tremendously with organising things.

They make amazing gear, I honestly hope the company never changes.
> Everyone knew images could be doctored and so we started to trust them less as a reliable source of information when it mattered. We'll do the same with video (and already did to an extent since manipulation through editing was already possible).

I'm sorry, but you're absolutely wrong. If by "everyone", you mean your tech savvy bubble of friends that are good at critical reasoning and are well aware of what kinds of media can be easily spoofed, sure. But for every one of you, there are a thousand people who don't know anything about that and just see doctored propaganda photos (and now video and audio) on social media and believe it to be true. And those folks outvote you 1000 to 1, so even if you know the truth, you are forced to live in a world shaped by people that are already being mass manipulated.

what is an electron wrapper
Mind that this builds on a previous article (linked), detailing the storage formats of Commodore BASIC, which readers of the blog will be already familiar with. It recapitulates that variables are two ASCII characters with the type encoded in the sign-bits of this byte-signature, in order to establish a common ground for filling a gap in this account.

Also, it's meant to advertise the respective tools of the emulator (something I'm not aware of having been done like this before) and to stimulate interest in the reader to conduct further investigations of their own. Hence, the "wrapping" (which, BTW, emphasizes that jargon is not that innocent.)
Not big on censorship, but I agree it's a bit too much. I linked to it externally if anyone's curious.

> there seems to be no use case for which Rust isn't good

You should read Why Not Rust (https://matklad.github.io/2020/09/20/why-not-rust.html). It was written by someone who has written a lost of Rust and likes the language, but acknowledges that it's not always the best tool.

It's a few years old, so not all of it holds up. For example, the author criticises the IDE tooling as immature. I don't think that's true in 2023. Coincidentally, the author created the official language server for Rust.
Just give them the same lecture they like to trot out about supply and demand and how automation simply creates new opportunities. And then have an AI compose a dirge to play on the world's smallest violin for them.

We don't know and nobody actually knows. I think that -- if we are smart -- Military will put a "pause" on all new manned weapons R&D, and instead ask all military contractors to try and simultaneously design cheaper, mass-producible unmanned variants of these tools before they can continue working on the manned platform.

At the same time, I would hope the UN could come together and draft a world treaty that none of these weapons are able to be operated without human supervision. Humanity needs an "AI non-proliferation" treaty for militaries to all agree on saying "AI will never be allowed to "pull the trigger" on human life -- Remotely operated systems must always keep a human being on the other end.".
