Thank you for clarifying that essentially it was Win 98 (maybe Second Edition) when those applications took off.

Is it possible that all of your neighbors in your building have their heater on? This is what happened to me in a building in NYC. It would actually get so warm in the winter I would have to crack the window open or I would get a nose bleed.

OP didn't want to use hooks, so I showed an example that doesn't require hooks.

I'm aware some of the React community use hooks, some of us still use classes. Classes provide a better interface when dealing with state that is shared between parent and child. This is a write up much better than I can explain: https://react-redux.js.org/api/hooks#stale-props-and-zombie-...

The OP made it clear they didn't want to use hooks.

I've taken the example from your homepage and made it in React without using redux or hooks.

    import React, { Component }  from 'react'

    class ManualStateComponent extends Component {
      state = {
        now: null
      }

      constructor(props) {
        super(props)
      }

      // Since you don't want to call `setState`, here is a method with the name you prefer
      rerender() {
        this.setState({
          now: Date.now()
        })
      }
    }

    // Example Component
    class SimpleTimer extends ManualStateComponent {

      constructor(props) {
        super(props)
    
        this.seconds = 0 // Just a plain variable
      }

      componentDidMount() {
        setTimeout(() => {
          this.seconds++;
          this.rerender() // rerender!
        }, 1000)
      }
  
      render() {
        return <div>{this.seconds} secs have elapsed...</div>;
      }
    }

Here is a React/WebGL game I made which tracks a lot of variables and state, but does not use redux/flux...because it's 100% possible to make even make a 3D game with React without them!!!

It is 100% possible to build large React apps without redux/flux. There are entire ecosystems built around, say Mobx, among many other libraries and tools which don't even follow the flux style patterns.

> The example on the website uses closures to handle component state

I'm not asking about component state; I'm asking how do multiple components access app-wide state. I can't use a singleton for that; how do I know when that singleton is updated? I guess I could use a proxy but I don't want to do that.

> and to let users pick their desired level of complexity.

React is the view layer. It doesn't enforce any type of data layer or state management layer.

I don't consider reducers, actions, redux/flux to be React specific, even if they are popular in the React world. I know just as many people who don't use those in the React world. IMO what React did was push forward the single data flow paradigm.

What should a developer do that needs to share state across a Forgo app?

It would be awesome if browsers just had a real template language like JSX, we'd see more "web components" which are just a little bit of JSX/or whatever templates and some DOM APIs. Developers are tired of managing binding and unbinding events. React does that well. I assume Fargo does too.

So putting aside the redux/flux paradigm, what else is the real hurdle being solved?

Better is gonna give you pretty high rates -- try shopping with a local lender.

In USA 5000 IU is pretty easy to find at any store that sells vitamins. This is what I buy all the time.

> Not always. Sometimes it has a repulsive effect. Like trying to score a first date when you're already flaunting the fact that you're engaged to someone else.

In what universe is this an acceptable analogy for anything?

Edit: Make sure to include the quote.

Banks are guaranteed payment on the student loans they issue (yes there are exceptions but that’s not the norm). The norm is that either the student pays back the loan, or, the government pays back the loan. That’s why banks have decided to loan out 200k plus loans to 18 year olds. State schools or private schools, it doesn’t matter. If the customer is willing to pay more money for the same product (because loan sizes from banks keep growing), then there is an opportunity to raise prices. Sure costs have gone up for schools over the years, so have expectations for what schools provide (more amenities, more staff, more sports programs, etc). That’s only a fraction of the reason for hire school prices.

If you capped how much banks could loan on guarantee, you’d see prices for schools drop pretty sharp. Mark Cuban has talked about this a bunch over the years.

You forgot culture fit under “what matters” /s

I remember how disappointed I was when the iPad 1 came out and it didn’t run OS X...some of us have wanted an OS X tablet for 20+ years...

I really do think that a 13 or 15 inch MacBook Pro 2 in 1 like the Dell xps would sell pretty well...

[edit] fixed spell check

Hard to imagine Top Gun without the carriers...

How often would a carrier get shot on the deck? Would the carriers be farther back than other ships?

Two didn't roll down a hill in a promotional video? I'm with you, I'm trying to figure that out as well.

Thank you for posting, glad to hear I am not alone (tried it years ago, cannot unsubscribe).

If you don’t want to teach your kids to code, ok. I actually think the sugar cookie example is analogous to web development, especially styling/CSS.

As someone who has taught children how to do html/css/ basic JS it’s amazing to see how they progress; the creativity a child can have is unpredictable but usually inspiring.

Also, why is pocket acting like amp with the url? :/ :/ :/

As a student at Harvard, cancelling classes means you lose progress that you would have to repeat. Maybe Zoom is not ideal for certain classes, but it’s better than no class. Not sure what the endowment has to do with anything other than to give you something to whine about?

I'm sure some people would disagree with you. What you value isn't the same as what others necessarily value. That doesn't make it a terrible idea in itself.

The experience of a WeWork and Regus are very different. They can both co-exist because some people like a more community type environment, and some people just want a modular space that is affordable.

WeWork tried a bunch of things that you might not find at a typical coworking space but I personally would pay 2x for a WeWork space over the same Regus space because I will get more value out of the WeWork space which is meeting people. I have spent plenty of time in my career in WeWork and Regus spaces, and WeWork has been much more fruitful in terms of the network effect.

Since the comments have shifted focus to hiring/interviewing:

Make sure that your company's interview process leaves enough time at the end of each interview to allow the candidate to ask questions. Don't assume the candidate is OK with emailing questions later because you only left the candidate 3 minutes to talk. The candidate pledged a day of their life to interview as they are interested in your company. If they leave your company at the end of the day without being able to ask all the questions they have, there's a chance they will never bring them up later.

This was not clear :O Would be good to clarify in your original post.

How does selling stock “get back” at the board?

Sure will do that now.

An observation here is that a house or a boat is something that people can see; we've all seen a building go under construction whether it a single family home or an office building. It takes time, and we know you can't rush the process or risk the building being unstable.

With software, many parts of the business can't "see" the development happening, so they don't know why it would take so long. At the same time, unlike a boat or building, software is more likely to be easily modified. Therefore there is less of a risk to get it all right initially. I do not condone said behavior I am merely pointing out a possible scenario in which it could happen.

It is also true that a developer is more likely to be a push over than a general contractor. Source: 11 years as as software engineer and my family has been involved with land and real estate for a long time.

Even Facebook does this when you have left it open in a tab for too long.

This is what I do but I work for myself. Withholding is easier as most people would prefer to watch Tom Brady throw touchdowns vs manage their money.

Because that’s the terms of the license. You can use it as long as you don’t commercially profit from the freebie. More than reasonable to me.
