Uber needs the network effect. Lower usage means fewer uber drivers, which means it's harder for me to get a lift, which makes me use something else. So a relatively small dip can cause a collapse un usage.

I took a picture of my thesis which somehow got viral. In a matter of hours the total data used for that image was ~500GB or so. Not viable sharing from my own computer or even my own server. [1] https://m.imgur.com/r/b

My point isn't so much loading data from a remote endpoint, but setting state. As the doc you quote says: componentWillMount should not trigger rerendering, and should have the newest state in the render function. But when you use Redu

We've extracted something like this logic into a higher order function that we use to generate reducers++. Fetching data with Redux is kinda broken, though. If a dispatch is done in componentWillMount, a synchronous update like setting

I'd like to have nested projects as well. For instance I want one top-level having my talks, and then sub projects for each talk. Now I either have to clutter my repos with many small projects, or have one big repo with many folders. W

Those using IE6 also thought it was the best for a long time. Only because developers adhered to it's quirks, though, so stuff worked there (and not in "better browsers"). In the same way people accommodate Safari today, othe

Apple earns 30% per scammed user and let the app pass through review. The implication is obvious.

I have the same experience. I fell in almost 120km/h in a slope earlier this year, but know how to not become a ragdoll. I was completely fine, except having to walk far up the hill to retrieve some of my gear.

I think some protection gear make people not learn to fall correctly. For instance wrist protectors for snowboard. When falling lightly without it, you quickly learn not to save yourself by planting your hands in the snow. But when having t

The HP books also suffers a bit from being written one chapter at a time. But at the same time, it's an interesting concept seeing a story evolve that way. I found some of the first chapters a bit long-winded, but after that I think th

Thats way too much complexity to get into game programming. Just start with something where you can draw shapes and images to some canvas, and make it interactive. No need to start with 3d, and at least not the low level 3d stuff. Then you

Wow, the free web version looks great. Will give it a read, as all my game projects ends up with me reinventing a game engine or getting stuck with some dataflow that should be a solved problem with a cleaner solution. Like the landing page

I'm sad the posts about USA withdrawing from the Paris deal all got purged fro the front page yesterday. Yes, some political issues aren't relevant on HN, but this I think was. Edit: Kinda ironic that this post is now having the t

Kotlin is more than just simpler java-syntax, though. If you want to really take advantage of it, there's new idioms, you can use it as a typesafe dsl etc.

With electric cars the pollution is just elsewhere. And asphalt dust is a major hazard in most big cities. Btw, my argument was that people want a car because that's what has been made the most convenient. I think the correlation is th

I'd wish they were a bit more futuristic than having 9000 parking spaces. Why not offer buses from where their employees live or other means of transportation? It's easy to say that most people drive, but that's only because

I don't understand the economics of it, though. Are the people working in a daycare making millions a year or what, since each child they care for brings in a full-time salary and they care for multiple children.

Maybe because it's subsided by the government, but I just checked and here in Oslo 12 months of kindergarten would be lower than the average monthly salary. So going back to work will make economic sense after the first month. I think

Why is both parents working always not an option in cases like this? Here he actually touches upon it, but dismisses it saying that it will be more expensive that way. Are these people wanting a personal nanny for their kid or is it really
