It's the 'I could have done that' vibe. Yes, you might have been physically able to. But you didn't. That you actually did not do it is a pretty good indicator that it is not, in fact, easy.

Always goes up. I know it's cliche to say we cannot afford it anymore (we evidently can afford it, as we are paying for it). But eventually we really truly will not be able to afford it. 5k to 22k in 23 years means it's going to b

The proper solution is to raise the price of electricity.

That's the comic? It's completely cliche and uninspired. Sorry to be so blunt--i just don't see the appeal.

Some alternatives are: Vue3/composition API -- probably the simplest if you're coming from React. Definitely feels like it was inspired by hooks. Svelte/store -- svelte has a term called 'hook' but it's unrelat

If the taxes are performed to make the economy just or fairer (as opposed to finding public necessities), possibly. I understand the absurdity of it. We had taxes for a long time before socialism. And we obviously need taxes. But a long-ter

This argument is 75 years old. I take it to be less of an argument, and more like history.

Server side rendering isnt special any more: https://joshcollinsworth.com/blog/antiquated-react#server-si... This blog was posted to HN a few weeks ago. The author does a really good job of summarizing React's rel

Every other framework not only has its own implementation of hooks, but notably: every one of them is faster, smarter, easier to write, or a combination of all three. I agree that useEffect is bad. But there are other SPA frameworks that do

Anyone mind translating this for a gdb noob? When I try: > sudo gdb 678 > 678: No such file or directory. Docs say maybe the -p flag? > sudo gdb -p > Attaching to process 678 > Unable to find Mach task port for process-id 678

It's far too difficult to predict. Growth is exponential. So the difference between a 3.5% growth rate and 4.0% growth is miniscule to the average person, but the latter leads to twice the economy after 50 years. It's not that I d

We don't know their reasons. Ostensibly, they want RTO because it's RTO. The controversial theory is that it's all a ploy to get some portion to quit, a layoff in disguise. The people who they actually need to keep will not b

My disappointment in my education is how much these rules were emphasized over content. The hard part of writing is content--not syntax. Just like programming is about logic, and syntax is a minor nitpick one needs to know. But I think the

I certainly sympathize with a more balanced world order. However, it's difficult to imagine any of these becoming partners soon. As much as we criticize the hypocrisy of G7, they atleast have a uniting philosophy. BRICs are united by w

Well, that's funny. But I take it to mean that it was intentionally made addictive, rather than just being enjoyable. By analogy, some people say that food is being made addictive. But I think there is a dubious difference between an

I think it's a thoughtful tale, but I really cannot get behind the premise. Was our attention really stolen ? Is this a literal claim, or just hyperbole? It's a vice of the modern world. We have made food that tastes wo good, you

I have skim read a bunch of articles on this, and I still cannot understand what is actually being charged for and what this law mandates. I am trying to understand whether this charges for copying of news, or just linking to it. It seems t

No. I was thinking it's the opposite. I have not heard much from Romero recently.

I feel like they are talking past each other, or at least talking about different things. Hickey seems to be talking about breaking the compiler . That is, he is saying that changing the return signature from null|int to int should not bre

by Gunax 3y ago
It seems like the issue then is that int can be nullable. The solution is to make int an int . You cannot assign None to int. I'm not an expert on programming languages, but asaik this is how typescript operates

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying that speech is irrelevant, therefore freedom of speech is also irrelevant?

by Gunax 3y ago
Thanks for the response. I am not sure I understand the point about freedom of the press. You say all corporations should have their words regulated, but you also mention freedom of the press. This seems contradictory. If the constitution d

Well corporations aren't people, but they are made of people. The new York times is some sort of corporation, so does it not get free speech? How about ycombinator? How about NPR? I think NPR's coverage was lacking in subtlety. Th

Whether that decision is in the best interests is a matter of opinion. They did what representative democracy encourages, which is to have a dialogue with their representatives.

Never thought of dependencies as a SAT issue before... Makes sense once I think about it. I always imagined dependencies as a tree. If I have dependency x which uses foo 1.0 and dependency y which uses foo 2.0, isn't it possible to get

Forget about whether spies are buying it for a second. This data is out there. The real problem I see is that: - The data exists - The people involved may not have consented, or they consented when they agreed to a a EULA without really u

From what I remember: it does not. It's about building a practical computer.

There is probably some degree of aliterative appeal in 'ally to adversary'. But they were viewed as at least neutral in the 90s. Mitt Romney was also mocked for calling Russia the greatest threat in 2012. I was one of those people
