I tried to address your type of reaction in my "If your initial reaction is(...)" sentence, but that failed. The point is not that this code is good or bad. It's that it is possible to write such hard to predict code. Remem

Like others I disagree that you have to wrap _everything_ in useCallback/useMemo. However saying you only need those for performance reasons is wrong. There are cases where avoiding re-rendering (thanks to useCallback) is avoiding an i

Right now: they don't have such right. After the law: they do have the right and it requires a judge's approval renewed every 15 days. I'm not talking about what the capacity of intelligence services to do it, I'm ta

I'm curious about your opinion on Git. It's actually a tool I'm excited to teach to non-developer people who deal with text documents and the need to keep a history, multiple versions etc. I'm aware that now these featur

I don't understand: if you have fixed dependencies and the same Nodejs version, how can things break? I'm not saying it's a good thing to not update your packages but you seem to imply there's another force messing with

" and made it legal to impose a one-off seizure on all accounts above 100k€ overnight" please give a source or at least detail the conditions it can be applied. The way you phrase it sounds like it can be completely arbitrary

Don't we have to use broad terms to avoid abuse of edge cases? Should we have avoided writing a constitution because "freedom of speech" is extremely vague? GDPR is a radical step forward considering how poor the situation

There's another way which doesn't involve knowing the relationship with Locke. Basically, in the response shown in the blog post, there's a bit of a contradiction. It says that Hobbes argued for a "strong, centralized go

Any modern society is relying on digital supports for most of its administration. Estonia is just proposing more "frontends" to its citizens. Not all of them decide to use it btw (article mentions 46.9% of people use online voting

You say that nuclear in France is not profitable and so is subsidized (potentially, don't want to argue that here). To back this you use the fact France agreed to a mechanism (ARENH) to sell its electricity BELOW market rates (this is

When your main stakeholder (French State) forces you to sell your production way below market rates to your competitors, leaving you with a 8bn€ loss for 2022, it's no surprise EDF struggles financially [1]. For context, this measure w

I can understand it's a stimulating problem for the brain. In terms of priorities it doesn't make any sense at all to me though. It's hard to get the global population to care and act about what the GLOBAL state of the planet

Are you talking about the minimum pensions only? In France, the average pension is 1393€ (~ $1574) [1] Also the retirees purchasing power is higher than the working population [2] Don't get me wrong, there are still too many retirees w

I share your view about making estimates and quotes. I get contractors to my house to help me renovate. It's just standard practice to get multiple tradesmen (>=3) to make a quote for the same job. I do that whenever the job is abov

"I spend roughly the same amount of time..." the paradox works if you define usage as energy consumption, not time spent. 20 years ago, you were not streaming 1080p videos or downloading 50 GB video games. Even kids do that on a r

Do you mind sharing the details like amount of crypto(s) / USD, interest rates, repayment terms etc. You could scale all money numbers (not durations please) by a factor if you prefer. I'm interested to see a real-life example

A few things to give you some hope: * The target to reduce the share of nuclear to 50% does not directly imply that nuclear production will decline as much. The reason is that the share of electricity (from nuclear, hydro renewables.. combi

I'm pro-nuclear but your argument is the same used by people saying "what's the point of my country reducing its CO2 emissions because it's only contributing to X% (X << 10) of global emissions?" Some of Franc
