The spirit of the actual license appears to be toward specifically preventing patent litigation against Facebook _and contributors and related entities to React itself_. Assigning it to "competing with Facebook" in general seems a

It's quite simple. Because it's good. Define good however you want, go into a lot of detail on quality and the factors that make it good, but in the end, they got a lot of parts right and made something people like.

It feels that way to me too, based on my direct experience with my company and several friends' companies. There you go, 2 data points.

Yep, the problem isn't deciding to keep low performers; it's that it's extremely difficult to identify them or separate them out from the performance of the system surrounding them. This is basic Deming management wisdom: mos

The problem with all of these responsive grid systems is that it's so easy to do a grid in plain CSS with flexbox and media queries that they're close to zero added value in almost all cases.

Actually, that's false. The principles of Toyota are rooted in statistical quality control, passed down by Walter Shewhart and W. Edwards Deming directly to the Japanese after WWII. Sure, indirectly, Henry Ford made strides in both sci

This is a classic example of sub-optimization (and even if it's hand-wavey pseudo-science and may be wrong, the general concept is still interesting). Each individual wind turbine is optimized to be the "most efficient" it ca

You can't go too far off the deep end and never place blame, but I think it's safe to say that the air travel system has considerable incentives for acting in favor of the system's improvement vs. in favor of individual blame

Exactly. If pilots (humans) cause errors, the safest system removes them from the equation as much as possible, except in the parts of the process where it would be more error-prone not to. Point re: screwing up because the plane is normall

This is why the Lean healthcare movement (and Lean in general) is so great. It takes procedures into account, like checklists and workflows and all that, but more importantly it takes into account the human psychological factors in the work

It certainly simplifies things, which is why perhaps the air travel question is so much easier to make a conclusion on. "Well, if a pilot makes a mistake, we can't exactly punish him after the fact in most cases... so our normal p

He was afraid of punishment for not knowing how to do his job. Remove the punishment, create a systemic environment of improvement rather than individual blame, and he can easily speak up and say he's not prepared for the procedure and

The problems are not inept individuals, nor will scaring people out of the field improve conditions. More than likely, the fear of recourse causes more error and malpractice than the errors themselves. Think for a moment: why are commercial

I disagree pretty highly. I've seen it in this order: 1. First are the flight risks. They're likely to split soon after a layoff event anyway, so might as well factor them in. 2. Second are functions that would be otherwise crippl

What a fascinating way to solve the problem. You want Sunday as the first day? Fine, do your index zero-based and Sunday is Zero. You want Monday as the first day? Fine, index 1-based and use 7 for Sunday. Kind of brilliant.

CS186 at Berkeley was entirely in the guts of PostgreSQL. But then, I suppose that's not too surprising given the history. Personally, I found it a delight to work with, and that has translated into a great respect for the product itse

When things align, and the abstraction suddenly makes everything simpler, you start to see the wisdom of it. It's less about "proponents," more about people who understand it and how it affects the reality of frontend enginee
