Yeah, making sure we have capacity to treat anyone sick is certainly one of the highest priorities (and the reason there was such a scramble trying to contain the virus from wreaking havoc if we went past that). And I get that there are oth

Call me a renegade, but I think the only goal should be to minimize the total number of deaths from Covid. Trying to maximize sustainable medical system occupancy is almost certainly not aligned with the former goal.

I'm curious, what are your thoughts on first-hand survivor accounts such as these? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-55794071 https://www.voanews.com/south-central-asia/china-uses-rape

If I had to guess, he is likely a front-end engineer and I can kind of sympathize with some of his gripes because I've dabbled with front-end/full-stack work myself (benefits of working at a small company and getting to wear diffe

While you are not wrong, that doesn't feel entirely true. Every single time I watch some version of the 2 Falcons landing back on earth [1], I get chills and have a tear or two in my eyes. It feels right, it feels like progress and it

Exactly. I was cringing so hard because he kept engaging with the rep on lines of questioning that were so obviously going to go down the path they did. I've cancelled my NYT account in the past and it was rather painless because I was

It's a good article with a lot of solid points, but that section had me rolling my eyes. Sure reads like someone pining for exploitative "startup" culture to get more than what they are paying for out of their employees. If y

That's not true. If you install it from the Mac App store, you do then get the extension and can activate it within Safari. I just switched from LastPass to Bitwarden and by all accounts it seems better than LastPass (for my basic usag

Yes, I do that now, but there are still issues around that workflow and nothing beats being able to prototype locally. Some issues (not major deal breakers, but still a source of annoyance): - Much more limited IDE experience if you use any

Not everything in deep learning involves running gigantic models on large GPUs or TPUs in the cloud though I'm sure that is the norm for a lot of companies. There is a lot of value in being able to run smaller models when you are worki

I just don't think you've tried or been exposed to responsible REPL prototyping and development. Like sure, you could have all sorts of issues if you use REPL irresponsibly and pollute your state with undocumented code and side ef

Lol, that got a chuckle out of me. Yeah, it boggles my mind that someone would be disdainful of something as useful as a good variable viewer in an IDE. While it is certainly pretty essential when you are working with data or prototyping al

I couldn't agree more. While I have moved on from Spyder onto Pycharm for many years now, Spyder will always have a soft spot in my heart for being a great first IDE that brought so many great quality-of-life features and replicated an

Personally, I can't stand Jupyter for research because the introspection capabilities are so poor and limited compared to working in something like Spyder, Pycharm or VsCode. Moreover, I much prefer having interactive matplotlib plots

I may be misunderstanding, but Pycharm has supported multiple Python consoles (and running multiple files) for a while now.

I'm not arguing against VR for shared social experiences over the internet with remote participants. I actually do think that it can be great for that, especially once technology catches up some more. My point though is that if you alr

I was never arguing that VRChat/social apps are worse than other remote social experiences (phone call / video conference, etc.). My point is that it is very isolating and impossible to share the experience in any meaningful way w

Ehh. I've owned a VR headset for a long time now, and I think many people underestimate how fundamentally isolating being in VR is. Humans are social creatures and unless you live by yourself and want to escape into VR, you're a l

So many comments here are missing the point of the rant. If it doesn't work for you, fine, move on. But it takes a special type of asshole to go around harassing maintainers and continuously putting down their hard work and in many cas

I have an LG C9, and I much prefer the integration and smart apps over slower Chromecast/Fire sticks. I can also cast to my TV and still use the remote in the Youtube app when casting (for example). It's a pretty good UX and the C

Unfortunately not. It does support a bunch of adblockers, as well as a few limited extensions but nothing super useful on the privacy front.

I've had a Galaxy S9 for 2+ years now and I've always found Samsung's Android browser to be far superior to everything else available. People love to crap on Samsung for their software, but their browser is a real solid piece

> React, since hooks, includes a full state management solution - Context, Provider, and hooks. Sure, but that hasn't been around even 2 years. Prior to that, there was a different approach and philosophy to doing things. I remember

by _coveredInBees 6y ago
I think the large things in my admittedly limited experience were hooks and context API. Which in a sense isn't a massive change, but the problem is that just like the author of this article mentions, now there are more ways for things

This is again so dismissive of the author. He seems to have a substantial amount of experience with React. He isn't just some noob who jumped on some bandwagon and picked the latest sexiest thing for reasons. If anything, the entire te

I read the comments here first before reading the blog post, and I was expecting a very different type of (and lacking) blog post based on the combination of dismissive and defensive attitude permeating a lot of the comments here. To be hon

I think it's just that unfortunately a lot of these laptops are geared towards gamers, and pretty much all gaming laptops have 16:9 aspect-ratio, and they also usually use high refresh-rate screens, which are also almost entirely in 16

Wait, why doesn't the Shield do Dolby Vision / HDR for Netflix/Amazon? I thought that was like one of the best options for a streaming media player so that is a big surprise to me. I'm curious because I also own a 2019 L
