Isn't it more like "users of Netflix are responsible for 15% of Internet traffic"? What would Netflix traffic be without its users? Or are we talking just about their CDN synchronization, and not about the user traffic?

Few decades ago it didn't matter much whether you live in the capital, in a small town or in a village, today the capital is much more desirable than either of the other places. Now there are also many foreign people moving in who can&

Where I live it's normal to live in apartments. Entire houses are pretty much inaccessible to anyone except the richest - and they are all split into apartments anyways. This is normal, I don't know why this would be an indicator

I didn't say average, I said it's not unusual. Obviously you need to be good to get to that level. But you can do it without any schools, just by sitting down at home and learning, and then replying to few LinkedIn messages. In my

Well, sure. I guess nobody thinks that the dopamine just appears/disappears by itself. Of course there is an underlying structural cause. But currently we're unable to image live people at that resolution, not even dead people yet

I looked and didn't see any such news. Do you have any links?

You sure? Schizophrenia is directly linked to dopamine. So is ADHD, but in the opposite way (not enough dopamine). Both were demonstrated on fMRI. Psychosis is a physical issue in the brain (too much dopamine making the brain fire when it s

There's a massive difference in how I use a forum and how I use a company management system. MPA is fine for a forum, not for a company management system. This is the web indeed, and the company management app is just using the web bro

What can I do? Do you have a suggestion for a different HRIS? All of these that have all needed features are bloated OOP apps in PHP...

You can do that with a SPA. All SPAs I made and most of the ones I use support it just fine.

There's no AJAX call in a SPA if all I did was close a detail side-pane to get back to the listing. The AJAX call goes on in background if I saved a modification and I can continue to use the app as it runs. And when I open a detail, a

This is a forum, not a management system where I need to open dozens of listings and hundreds of different detail pages and make modifications there. It also doesn't bother me much on here because HN is much faster than these systems -

Well yeah - you'd need to write that native code wrapper, which kind of defeats some of the purpose of React Native (not having to write native code).

by throwaway60707 3y ago
I don't get why nobody tries to make something like React Native that would provide interface to the native components.

I've been evaluating some self-hosted/open source company management systems this weekend. Most of them are classic multi-page PHP apps. It's terrible. I can't stand how it always reloads each time I click on something.

I see it much more simply. It makes you feel a sense of wonder through magical abilities, places and creatures - it's fantasy. It talks about advanced civilizations with unknown/impossible technology - it's sci-fi. That'

At least all the other species within Federation did the same, many of them before the Federation even existed or before humans did it, though many of them got Federation help after they developed the warp drive, thus eliminating the Prime

Well the issue remains the same with Bussard ramjets. It's just simpler to make so the whole scenario is more likely (though still very unlikely, ofc).

Is that because of the currently accepted equations for space-time, or is there some experimental proof of that?

IMHO the premise of Star Trek economy is that all needs of an ordinary person can be fulfilled so cheaply it doesn't make sense to meter. The replicator uses a relatively minimal amount of energy. They still need to allocate resources
