Yes. There are lots of Polish and Swedish Nationalist Socialist bands (aka, Nazi). Fuck them.

Considering they didn't give samples to any of the linux press... ?

Google isn't even accessible in the biggest country with the most people on the internet. So the HN title is misleading, in that it isn't 20% worldwide.

Mods, please fix the title?

There is no "right to purchase an electronic device without replaceable parts". You just made that up. But I'll answer your question anyway.

Because it's a giant waste that is destroying the planet, and is economically irresponsible and noncompetitive?

Why should the arseholes who produce things that break in one year have a competitive advantage over companies that do the right thing by their customers and by the planet?

Also Australia is one of the most expensive places on the planet - in the urban centers. They already have space near the wind farm for very cheap. As a bonus you don't have a giant Samsung Galaxy situation near so many people.

Tesla sold a financial product. The government needed to cover some of the risk of when power lines go down, or if something goes wrong in another part of the network. It needs to cover this risk quickly for political reasons.

The chance of another similar storm knocking out the power lines again, which now have bigger maintenance crews, is very small. But if there is another blackout and they didn't do anything? They'd be in big trouble with the newspapers.

So Tesla really sold a risk product. Since SA could have spent the money on more generation. But not all people understand that.

The 100MW stage of that wind farm cost $250 million, and took some years to reach agreement, and some years to build. By promising to build the battery quicker, they have covered that risk during the time they need it.

They could have installed another wind farm the same size in a different part of the state in order to reduce the risk, and fill up the valleys of power generation. That has been proven to work too, and the benefit is you have more power generation in the peaks.

The cost of the blackout was estimated to have cost $367 million to business. 12% of the businesses had backup power generators themselves, and about a third of the businesses had bought insurance for such situations. Life critical systems are required to have independent backup power.

By the time it's built there will probably be a similar amount of solar power installed as the battery (by current rates of installation). There's 2,034 MW of industrial solar being constructed in Australia for 2017. This doesn't include stuff going onto roofs of houses, of which there are millions of houses already covered and more being done. 5KW solar installed in Australia can be done for $5,000AUD or less for a 5KW system. That's $100 million AUD for 100MW on 20,000 homes.

There's also a lead smelter which is being upgraded, so it will have modern equipment which lets it use power more dynamically... effectively making it a battery. It can take in power, or not, as it needs. They can also shut down their power hungry desalination plant if needed (which they don't really need when there is not a drought).

So now they have a backup battery, a backup gas power plant, and backup power lines to another state, more efficient industrial power users, and hundreds of thousands of small independent solar power generators.

They've definitely covered their arses.

You can query a history table.

I guess Conda is the most popular one. In the python world, we glue all sorts of things together. So I guess it's natural it'd come from there. But now it supports all sorts of stuff other than python.

Yes, it's a well known problem.

They don't need to back it up. It is up to the person making the original claim to back it up.

There's half a century of research and practice into this topic. Anyone in the industry _should_ know about this. Anyone who doesn't can find it on a search engine within 30 seconds.

I'd probably have subscribed earlier if I'd read this. Thanks.

The owner of ARM is now using it in the fastest computer in the world, with perhaps the fastest interconnect and memory IO subsystem to match.

The article seems like a dishonest paid for review. I flagged it for that reason.

That looks like JavaScript. Yes, of course you can use that - but which react projects do it that way? It seems this is mostly pulled out when people go... ewwwwwwww, stinky...

Most use the html+javascript language which is compiled and then spits out JavaScript and html. This is pretty much identical to PHP - which is a preprocessor template language.

Anyway, facebook says it reminds me of a template language, so I'll believe them.

The datepicker native input plugin exists, so it's just installing it. Then you get a JS api for it.

If it doesn't exist somewhere in the thousands of plugins available, you'll have to make it yourself. The other thing that happens, is perhaps a plugin is only available for Android. Maybe there's another one with a slightly different JS api for iOS... or none.

I've also done emscripten compiled C++ mixed in there. Which replaced various native apps. Since it was mostly OpenGL anyway... the few controls were easily implemented in JS/Html.

Anyway... just trying to share some options. Lots of native cordova plugins available (which I guess is it's main point). I really don't care what other people do... and somehow got drawn in to this discussion again!

Cordova is all about plugins. You can use a native datepicker plugin for example.

If you need native functionality, use a plugin. (there's probably one already there, but maybe you need to write a tiny bit of native code).

I guess that's the whole point of hybrid that people don't understand - it's a hybrid, and you get to choose the best of both, making the trade offs you need to make for the best result.

Not ideal for every app/budget, but I think people just don't get this part - use the native plugins if you need them! :)

Ship fast, and slowly replace all the bits with native (if you need to). [fast|cheap|good] pick two! (then the third).

I'm happily cleaning up react messes :) As my dads plumber friend used to say... "There's money in shit!".

Fair cop. Not sure why I'm participating in a JavaScript framework internet discussion. I wish people would concentrate on standards, and apps.

Except Vue projects seem to be succeeding. This is good for clients, but bad for freelancers getting paid lots to clean up messes.

The good components, and the docs are the biggest reasons. But also it's a very well thought through thing based on web specs, using html technology. People can get useful work done almost right away, and what they made is self contained by default, limiting their damage. It also works for the document case, AND the single page app case. Want to make a landing page that converts well? Vue has your back. Want to use that one jQuery plugin, because it's awesome... Vue can do that easily - it plays nice with others.

React should copy it more, and copy web standards more.

It's not JavaScript, and it mixes in almost-html... but it's not a template language?

Wrong. It's a template language, even if Facebook tells you otherwise.

They've already lost a lot of high end UI, video, and game developers. Pretty sure they're going to lose the mass market audio developers on this android release. I guess audio latency is good enough now for many audio apps... and that's where all the users are (well, in a year after upgrades they will be). A lot of the existing apps have updated to use the new low latency APIs.

Everything in react is done in the template language.

This react below is not JavaScript... it's a reverse template language with a mix of not-quite-html and not-quite-JavaScript. jQuery style code is nicer than that! I hate the enterprise boilerplate in react projects. No wonder they're all failing!

  class Square extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
      super();
      this.state = {
        value: null,
      };
    }
    render() {
      return (
        <button className="square" onClick={() => this.setState({value: 'X'})}>
          {this.state.value}
        </button>
      );
    }
  }

The vue looks good.

Yeah, Vue.js is for people who make things. React is for enterprises who don't seem to mind being 3 months late shipping basic stuff.

In react everything is done in the template language. It's a sort of reverse template language, that doesn't even really use proper html for things. So weird.

Vue is just all together, and is based on web standards. Not a weird thing by facebook enterprise developers who think that documents are dead and everything should be a slow loading monster single page thingo. Vue does components properly.

React components aren't. They tell you to move state from the child to the parents. That's not a component, and probably one of the biggest reasons many of the react projects are giant messes.

React is sort of like the old enterprise thing that doesn't solve any of the real issues with Angular style frameworks.

React does have a pretty good marketing budget though. Lots of evangelists paid to talk it up. Plus lots of developers who have invested so much time learning useless non-standard framework stuff. Also, there's plenty of freelance gigs cleaning up failed messy react projects.

Safari is probably the best bet Mac has for Gaming at the moment. As someone who has to update games which Apple breaks with every Mac release... it's the most brutal platform. If you thought linux audio was tough... try delivering games on a Mac that you don't want to break with the next update.

"But can't everyone just implement our Metal API? It's been so successful, it's the best, you'll love it" No. No we don't love it. Please just implement WebGL2. Thanks.

"But we neglected OpenGL for years, even though our pro users have been begging for updates, and we think Metal is the best, you'll love it".

No. We want OpenGL updates. We are pros, and you promised us for years OpenGL updates. This is why there are almost 0.0% of our apps released on Macos with Metal.

"But we released the new macbook pro with an AMD card. We haven't really been working on OpenCL, but use that. You'll love it".

No, we want CUDA. We are pros, and we told you we wanted CUDA. It's what we use, because you stopped caring about OpenCL.

"I know we said we were serious about pro models, and that there would be a new mac pro, but here is the same one with a minor update. You'll love it. It's the best."

No.

"But we're listening."

No, you're bloody not.

This reads like Donald Trump propaganda. "The mac is doing really well. We're proud of..."

I guess this is the only USA made Apple product. Not really surprised they can't execute.

"One of the interesting things through all this has been the feedback on MacOS. It’s been so positive. "

Yeah, that would be cool. They could also even potentially save JIT typing, specialization, and even parsing. This is a big deal on mobile.

CPython also has many vulnerabilities in python rather than C.

It's hilarious reading rust marketers talk about how people should use rust, and yet their software doesn't work as well. It has plenty of bugs.

Then they go on and on about issues which post modern C doesn't have. Guess what? C has a lot of tooling, and yes, it's been improving over the years too. CQual++ exists. AFL exists. QuickCheck exists.

Can your rust project from two years ago even compile? Does it have any users at all?

There's a formally proven C compiler. How's that LLVM swamp going you've built your castle on?

Rust brought a modern knife to a post modern gun fight -- and lost.

Über is the joke?
