You say "exemplar", as if the 10 year long 2 to 3 upgrade which almost killed the language didn't happen... if it wasn't for the massive userbase of data scientists and academics which kept using it no matter what, python would have gone the way of perl
The legacy app is absolutely NOT fast if you have a significant amount of notes. Still worth using because the current app simply lacks the functionality (they "solved" the costantly freezing problem by preventing people from selecting more than 50 notes at once, for example). But certainly not fast
"Smartphones" are only "smart" compared to what came before. Which to the youth is irrelevant, because before their day. To them a phone and a smartphone are the same thing. All your comment does is to let everyone know you are old enough to remember phones which weren't smart. Not sure what it adds to the conversation
> It'll be interesting to see if whoever steps up to maintain React at that point will be able to grok its internal complexity, and to see how the community reacts to a rift when their favorite view library team pushes for one vision but the moved-on "rockstar facebook engineer" pushes for a different vision.
Kind of what is going on with Node / Deno... and like the chap who quit the Angular 2 team to start Aurelia hoped would happen to him (sorry buddy!). My guess is that he'll find out that there is more to a framework than rockstar developers. Like Facebook backing, or like UX designers being in love with your library because it reflects their approach to problem solving. Like CRA, hot module reloading and all that jazz. These are all things that put React where it is today
I mean, that's the whole point of hooks... they get the context of whatever host function scope they are in. That's why the 'reusable logic' spiel. So if you create a useLocalStorage hook, for example, you can then plug it into any function component and it will use. It's as if each function was an invisible class, with an invisible this.state
Micro services are a different kettle of fish though
Firstly, the benefits they offer have often little to do with the architecture itself, but with the bigger picture (separating teams, CIs, allowing different stacks, managing costs, scaling, etc).
Secondly, unlike microkernels, not all microservices have to talk to every single other microservice. If you have a service to send emails, say, there'll be a few services that interact with it, but the majority won't. The same for an image resizing service.
No it isn't - not if the same person sends you a mixture of useless and usefule emails. And it doesn't solve the problem of your email adress being made public.
With FB, you simply go on it when you feel like / have the time.
This is good because it might make people question what they read on FB, but the reality is that (a) the whole digital economy is based on that. FB are no better than Google or Apple (who know where you are, right now!) or a miriad others (b) FB serves some purposes (my old aunt wouldn't be able to work out email, but FB is easy enough for her, for example) and (c) it seems that the trend is away from 'public' platforms like FB and towards non publicly accessible groups such as WhatsApp groups (also owned by FB..) or Telegram or Snapchat etc, so an anti-FB backlash may not achieve much in terms of a "healthier public discourse"
Also, it all depends on how you use it. I subscribe to a lot of food based groups and art events groups, and share next to nothing about what I do. OK, some AI can infer that if I like Lebanese AND Mexican I am probably left leaning. OK, now what? What are they going to do with that info?
This is one of those 'soooo obvious but untrue' statements
I use it to keep in touch with far away or unimportant people. Second degree aunts, ex schoolmates, etc. Without FB it's a nightmare keeping in touch the few times I want to (people change email addresses all the time). Also, many groups are useful
How old are you? I am asking because I remember full well the pre-facebook days when people would send around 'funny videos' to groups of friends, with no chance of opting out, getting your email address shared with people you don't know, filling your inbox with crap, etc... Something like FB is hundreds times more convenient
