That's what I've been trending toward as well. There's a tremendous amount of work out there for how to get redux to completely handle async and branching methods, and I think the best solution for most cases is to not have i

That's fair, I guess I shouldn't have used such absolute language, but I believe the point still stands. If for-profit organizations find it beneficial to grow and expand using dedicated administrative staff, the assumption is tha

Because you can't democratize management and organization like you can with donation of individual goods and small amounts of money. You can donate $20 to a non-profit, but you can't donate "a few hours of CEO work" the

I absolutely haven't gotten that feeling from the mechanical keyboard community. They seem pretty accepting of anything, and are often more concerned with finding the right keyboard for what you want. There are jokes and memes that go

The problem is then you are driving an "IoT car". One hack of a "central server", one lying or broken set of sensors, one crack or loss of encryption keys, and someone has control over a huge number of cars. Plus you run

And I like "Could you align these variable definitions so they’re easier to read?" better than "align these variable definitions so they’re easier to read.", or worse, "align these variable definitions".

They could probably be made, but I still wouldn't rely on it. Well working Codemods are difficult to make in many cases, and unless someone is paying for it, I don't think there will be many calls for one to translate between the

But reading it like this I greatly prefer the F# style since it reads a lot more straightforward and easy to understand what is happening. That being said, can't you abuse the promise syntax to get something very similar right now? Sin

Wouldn't this be a lot easier to understand and work with? let newScore = await fetch(url) .then(r => r.json()) .then(obj => obj.ID) I think another problem is that these are just examples that aren't ne

I would really avoid using this in anything that you aren't okay with rewriting right now. The pipeline proposal has multiple syntaxes right now that the community is trying to pick from and discuss. The chances that the F#-style synta

[1] is google's paper on their implementation of a setup similar to this for identifying songs entirely offline without using much power at all. You are correct that the actual processors that are "always" listening are fairl

I know it's ironic given the topic we're in, but the technology is actually really impressive! The coprocessors are really just ASICs designed to run neural networks efficiently. The real cool shit is in the compression and simpli

I wouldn't be so sure you'd know. Modern phones have coprocessors that are dedicated to transcribing speech into text in a very power efficient manner (hell, my Pixel phone has a feature which allows it to identify songs playing a

That's fair, and there are absolutely discussions to be had around the "second hand smoke" kind of impacts these technologies can have. (I really like that metaphor) But I think it's wrong to throw the baby out with the

I don't think Alexa nor the Google homes listen and send data to the respective "motherships" at all times. Both do local processing for the keywords until it hears one then sends the following data (and I believe a few secon

So does that mean that everyone "dumb enough" to have a smartphone deserves to have their privacy obliterated by the manufacturer of that phone? And of course anyone within earshot of any of those devices also deserves to have the

You can opt out of the relevant add in all major networks. I know I did once, and it was so much worse. Most ads were for shit I absolutely would never care about. Weight loss systems, beauty products, child care products, quit smoking assi

Well shit! That's my bad I never saw any near me and assumed they didn't really offer them. They've got quite a few! Thanks!

That's actually pretty awesome, but the ChargePoint chargers are only "Level 2". They're great for charging where you've stopped for a few hours or more, but it would be a nightmare to try and do any kind of road tr

It may look similar at a glance, but they're quite a ways behind in practice. Tesla has over 1500 charger stations (and 13,000 stalls) in north america right now, Electrify america is planning 500 stations (2,000 stalls) by the end of

It's the direction that everyone seems to be moving. Wall up the gardens, remove your own access to your information, and remove the ability to share and integrate across platforms. The weird thing is how quickly the sentiment turned f

But that is almost exactly my issue with it. Ramda is beautiful and works pretty well in isolation, until you start to use 3rd party code that doesn't work with it well, or you need to interface with non-ramda code in your system, or w

I pretty much agree with you. I hate error handling in JS. It's messy, it's really REALLY hard to get right, every single project has to layer on their own ways of handling it since the only thing the language gives us is the abil

I'm sorry but this just seems so hard to read and I feel like it would be even harder to maintain. I'm currently working in a codebase that pulled a ton of this functional style into javascript and it's overwhelmingly complic

I was as well, but everyone involved here seems to have a really good head on their shoulders and obviously have the skills to back it all up. I'm watching the youtube video posted on her channel [1], and I noticed that she brought in
