yawnr··on React Native is not the future
Yeah seriously. Just a worse version of the bridge. IMO the cart is leading the horse on this one. Might be more convenient for their dev team to just have a web codebase (though I’d argue if they took the time to transition their web codebase to react native web they’d see the same benefit), but it will definitely hurt UX.
yawnr··on What happens when babies are left to cry it out?
Which kid do you like more..? ;)
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
That's not true though. Every connected component subscribed to a particular slice of state updates...not every connected component, e.g. `useSelector(appState => !!appState.someThing)` only causes a re-render of the subscribed component if the value of `!!appState.someThing` changes. Unless that's what you meant in the first place but your tone and talk of memoization seemed to imply otherwise.
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
Guess what, this entire thread is literally people discussing using context for… app state. But yeah thanks for being patronizing
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
Redux isn’t nonsense you’re just being dismissive and not taking the time to learn to understand it properly.
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
“Monitoring and propagating” — aka one of the global state management solutions being discussed here?

Redux state is “just an object” that does shallow comparisons to trigger re-renders

yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
You’re correct and these people advocating for this are definitely re-rendering every component in their tree with every change
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
My takeaway from these comments is that people either don’t care or literally don’t know how context works but are talking about how it’s better than redux lol
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
Right but every time that context changes it triggers a re-render of every child component regardless of if it’s consuming that bit of state or not. These comments are making me really question other peoples’ understanding of what I thought were kind of basic principles of how react, context, or redux work…
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
FWIW I think hooks have made types a lot easier to deal with in Redux.
yawnr··on Ask HN: What is your favorite front end state management solution?
Sorry but what? What do you do when a parent component needs access to a particular slice of state? Refactor the entire tree? What about deeply nested components? Prop drill 100 levels deep?
yawnr··on I am done. I give up
Almost all of the successful “entrepreneurs” I know are just rich kids who had the time and space to figure things out over the course of 10-15 years after college without worrying about money. Same thing for all of the successful people I know who work in media. It’s a racket.
yawnr··on JFK Assassination Records – 2022 Additional Documents Release
What recent events are you talking about? Your tone is very conspiracy-theorist sounding.
yawnr··on Tell HN: Amazon shows different (worse) pricing when logged in
It is a little fishy that Amazon isn’t an available seller when you’re logged out. Makes me think they are doing that in name only and assuming the risk and the shipping for the premium. Wonder if other products are like this.
yawnr··on World Cup Daily, Day 25
I didn’t miss the point. It was just soon enough after it happened that I figured they lacked the context about why it was posted, so they thought it was just meant to be a standalone article about this issue and not an attempt to draw a line between it and his death.
yawnr··on Ask HN: Do anyone get anxiety from following Hacker News?
The gym is a great example of survivorship bias. Sure, there are people who look “out of shape” and don’t necessarily see huge aesthetic results from it but continue going, but a lot of the people who stick with it are the ones whose bodies respond really positively to training.
yawnr··on World Cup Daily, Day 25
They posted it because he collapsed and died during extra time at the Argentina Netherlands match the day after he wrote it. Lots of theories and potential explanations for what actually happened as he’s been talking about not feeling well recently, but you can’t really blame people for being suspicious after what happened with SA and Khashoggi.

His brother posted a video saying he believes he was killed, but he was obviously and understandably in a really emotional state. To add to this, his brother is gay and Grant wore a rainbow shirt (as many other prominent journalist have done during this World Cup to protest the Qatari stance on LGBTQ rights) to a match and was told he couldn’t enter the stadium.

yawnr··on Moving Away from UUIDs (2018)
One reason is web scraping. Twitter used to have sequential IDs that made it easy to tell how many users they’d added over a period of time, even after they were public.
yawnr··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Russia is a terrorist state oligarchy with a murderous dictator. No one is actually going to kill this guy in the US. He will obviously get threats, and then reboot with a new $500mm seed round for some new scam from Marc Andreessen in a few years. Nevermind that's Adam Neumann.
yawnr··on FTX to file for U.S. bankruptcy, CEO resigns
Lol give me a break. He will be fine and rich forever, just maybe not a billionaire. There are no real consequences when you are that wealthy.
yawnr··on Audiobooks on Spotify
Good grief, that URL.

These companies are ridiculous. Leave us out of your corporate drama.

yawnr··on Charles Mitchell and the 1929 stock crash
Because you have a 2.5% mortgage and your monthly payment is still smaller than than 300k house at current rates. This is going to be the main issue to me. People are just going to sit in all these houses with bloated prices because the rates they pay are so low, and prices are going to have a very hard time returning to anything close to what they were with inventory so low.
yawnr··on State lotteries transfer wealth out of needy communities, investigation finds
Yotta does this in an FDIC insured account btw
yawnr··on How professional golf arrived at its breaking point
200 mill of gambling losses will do that
yawnr··on The day I discovered that Apple Maps is Kind of Good now
Yeah I dunno, I mostly mean highway driving. Like I’ll go ~20 over the speed limit (basically the flow of traffic in jersey haha), for an hour and still get there the same time as my original ETA.
yawnr··on The day I discovered that Apple Maps is Kind of Good now
I’ve grown increasingly frustrated with google maps recently because its time estimates are just way, way off.

My guess is that this has something to do with their ML assuming I will exceed the speed limit by X MPH based on my driving history or the flow of traffic or something, but it’s insane to go 80 on a 65 MPH highway and somehow arrive several minutes later than the original estimate.

yawnr··on San Francisco cops pull over a Cruise driverless car for no lights on
Yeah definitely not the case in the US. The New Jersey driver’s test consisted of a single stop sign and a parallel parking test.
yawnr··on Inflation rises to 7% in December (led by energy)
This makes no sense. Owning a home is not paying rent. Paying a mortgage comes with the expectation of accruing equity in the home. Renting does not. You’re comparing renting with being a landlord.
yawnr··on How we protect our most sensitive secrets from the most determined attackers
You want this private (banking) company’s app to be open source? Lol
yawnr··on Divorce does funny things
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. No matter what, you can still have a great life and be a great father, though. Maybe not as tidy, but still beautiful.
