By this metric the vast majority of humans are “just probability” too.

I think it’s not a very good metric.


Hmm is see it this way. Humans are a network of information sharing that could solve this problems. Computers are the same and should also Solve hard problems.

And yes, sadly, many humans are just probalility in my eyes.


In my experience most of my state in contexts changes infrequently (auth information, or the “current client” for a dashboard, or whatever), and then local state is sufficient for the rest. The few times I have sufficiently complexity in the “middle” I indeed have been annoyed and had to be careful to avoid over-frequent rerenders.

It’s just rare enough that “prefer contexts” is a good rule. Simpler, easier to understand code, with no Redux nonsense.


Redux isn’t nonsense you’re just being dismissive and not taking the time to learn to understand it properly.


It was -15 degrees F the other morning and the inside of my windshield was ice. It took far longer than a minute to clear. Also took far longer than a minute to reach a tolerable temperature, even in decent garb!


That situation was awful. Drawing a connection directly between the two scenarios makes very little sense. The people involved in each event are so far removed as to be entirely causally unrelated.

It’s highly unlikely that there’s some individual out there that’s in charge of both situations, saying “yes we should murder petty criminals, and also let fraudsters fly first class”.

So, yes this dissymmetry is unfair, but it’s also unfair that the sun will eventually expand to swallow the earth, and that’s about as connected to SBF as Garner is.

What a bizarre straw-man. Of course there is no individual. There are numerous democratically elected policymakers. What difference does that make?

Bizarre thinking again. Both men were arrested for non-violent crimes.


I would consider localizing for en-US visitors as many will have no idea what you mean by “brackets”.

I would also suggest that you actually make the landing page “work”, whatever that means for your tool, with no extension — on mobile I could not make it do anything at all.

Good luck!
