Here's another absolute claim: there will be herd immunity at 70% vaccinated. There will be no fourth wave. 100% safe and effective. etc. etc. THAT is the language that was used to justify recommendations, and that was the real misinfo

Don't be ridiculous. Claims that were classified as COVID misinformation include: - surgical masks don't work against aerosol viruses - lockdowns and curfews will not stop covid - natural immunity due to prior infection is more ef

Your say "direct", but in my experience French business communication is ridiculously convoluted, bordering on the baroque. "Dear Sir, I hope this message finds you well and in good spirits. Would it be possible to arrange a

Every job I've had in the Slack era has had its own Slack culture and its own dysfunctions. Some places it's a non-stop interruption fest from management offloading everything onto lower ranking employees as if it's a priorit

Bluechecks stopped being about verification a long time ago, when it became clear Twitter wouldn't verify people with the wrong kind of opinions, and when they vindictively started to deverify accounts as punishment. That proves it was

Think about why people wanted push in the first place: because the internet was now always-on instead of something you checked or surfed periodically. It has everything to do with carrying it in your pocket. Personally I don't let apps

What evidence of this sexist culture do you have? There seem to be a few classic stories that have been spun: - that a gender imbalance in students or employees automatically implies sexism - that being casual about sex is automatically sex

Amen. React 18 was the moment where they forgot they started as the V in MVC. Concurrent React was a mistake, and the hooks they had to add to make it work too. The main example I always cite of where the React team is naive is mousemove ha

Note that what Use.GPU does is much more polymorphic than that. It uses getters inside shaders to allow e.g. attributes like point color and size to be either uniform or per vertex, without having to change the shader source. It will also a

No, the only part that's Rust is the truetype font renderer, which uses ab_glyph. But even the conversion to SDFs is in Typescript. Moving data in and out of WASM is still kind of slow, relatively speaking (until GC lands), and Rust&#x

For anyone wondering what the difference is between R3F and Use.GPU: R3F is a react reconciler for three.js. You manipulate a three.js scene, which the classic non-reactive renderer then draws. Use.GPU does not have a non-reactive model nor

GPUs are already pretty generic. The main diff is that a GPU will execute N threads in lockstep, where N = 32 or 64, like a very wide and always-on SIMD. The dedicated render pipeline still exists, and is still needed for things like Z buff

Novice react developers reach for useEffect way too often, because they are still thinking in terms of state transitions instead of declarative states. I have spent a lot of time teaching people not to do that. They always end up very happy

I couldn't disagree more. What all these React spinoffs seem to be doing is unlearning the lessons encoded in the React architecture and replacing them with more magic by "helpfully" applying state changes immediately instead
