I'm always awe-struck thinking about the fact we know this. For example the ATP synthase motors in the Mitochondria— we have figured out ways to discover these sorts of things without seeing them, just by chemical analysis, computer mo

TBH this sounds like it should be a new transform, not in the default one. Speaking for myself, I rather this be an alternative so I can get the best perf on my React apps, but have the option to switch to this when experimenting with using

> 2. The JSX transform (part of the JSX spec. & what parser/compiler must represent the language as) Ah, ok I see where this misunderstanding stems from. See, this is not part of the spec. With JSX, there's a very popular t

by aylmao 6y ago
JSX has always been SGML/XML-inspired, but not SGML/XML compliant, so nothing is changing there. And the thing is, even if it were, what a parser/compiler does to represent a language is its own completely independent thing.

What cut does Microsoft take on IAPs? I think this is the main issue at stake here— the fact that apple takes 30% from IAPs too, and that you can only use Apple's systems to receive IAP payments.

I think another good move here is to ban the use of cartoon characters to promote unhealthy food. It's outright targeting of the population group most vulnerable to this marketing. In Chile they implemented regulations on the packaging

The drinking and smoking age is 18. You can definitely get cigs and booze before your 18th birthday if you're crafty, but I've never seen a shop outwardly sell these and bribe cops, nor are cigs and booze trafficked by cartels— th

Yes, to some degree, but it's also not uncommon for kids to use their allowances to buy junk food at the store. I remember growing up (I'm from Mexico) chips often had promos where you could find collectibles with cartoon characte

+1 on these shortcomings, though I think it's also worth celebrating what they do right. Namely, I'm glad the system has the concept of "desktop" and "mobile" scales, and doesn't use the same size componen

Probably the corpus it was trained on. I can only imagine whomever was collecting the data is in into that stuff, so they biased it a bit by collecting from accounts they know.

Most drugs are coming from South America, so Canada isn't really in the way. My guess is amongst other things, there's better conditions for growing them there. Apparently there is some drug trafficking through Canada [1] mostly c

I doubt this is for the profit in that industry itself. It's probably more to do with the negotiation power they can get if they control an important export to the USA, maybe partly using avocado distribution chains for drugs, and mayb

React is built to interop with "general" JavaScript, so in theory you can use it with other rendering frameworks. I used React and D3 all the time. Performance-wise, it IS better to stick to a single framework, so I see what you m

Note: if you're building your whole page on top of a library, a larger library isn't necessarily bad. If a library is larger because it does more, useful things, and this means you have to write less and/or smaller components

This is bad news for URMs. I am hispanic and was an international student— looking back there's many "extra" things that added to my feeling anxious before interviews. The imposter syndrome was real and I worried about wether

+1. Either this, or I have an offer in hand and so I don't have to care anymore. The role of anxiety in interviewing became very clear to me during a season when I failed all my interviews until I got my first (and a very good) offer.

There was definitley a lot of corruption in the USA before Trump. I do think it's also the case that under Trump things got more shameless, and so the administration "dares" to go further. This is worrisome, especially if you

I think funnily enough, one thing that made these old websites more interesting is how slow the web was back then. In a way it was "animation"— I'd look at images more closely as they "scanned" into the page and not
