@sudoingX Have you had any issues with web/browser access when using Hermes locally? I have tried Qwen but no joy. Thanks

[ramblingquant @redbaron1981]

@MapMakinMeyers Well done!

@BBVAresponde_es No, es mi madre de 78 años. Es el Reino Unido como ella está de vacaciones en España. En la sucursal ni siquiera le pidieron que demostrara que la tarjeta era suya y le dijeron que solicitara una nueva. ¿Dónde están sus términos y condiciones?

[ramblingquant @redbaron1981]

Hola @BBVA_espana, el cajero en La Linea de la conception retuvo la tarjeta de mi madre. La sucursal no la devolvió tras verificar su ID. ¿Podrían compartir su política sobre esto? Gracias.

@MapMakinMeyers Have you worked with the temporal controller in QGIS? If so do you know of anyway to speed up the export animation? Thanks

The BBC received an education in international law. In time of war, Israel is not obliged to supply resources to Gaza, that will be used by Hamas. Israel has also urged civilians to evacuate for their own safety. Israel isn't committing war crimes.

@MapMakinMeyers How do you geo reference these photos? Is it done automatically or manually? Thanks

DAY 1 of #20DaysOfReact

Topics Covered :
-What is React?
-Setting up a development environment.
-What is a React component?

What is React?
React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It was developed by Jordan Walke, a software engineer at Facebook, and is widely used for creating dynamic and interactive web applications. React makes it easier to manage the state of your application, handle user interactions, and efficiently update the UI when data changes. It follows a component-based architecture, allowing you to build complex UIs by composing reusable components.

Why was react needed?
React was created because building complex user interfaces using just plain JavaScript can become messy and hard to manage as projects grow. React makes this easier by providing a structured way to create user interfaces.
Imagine you're building a house with lego bricks. JavaScript is like having a huge pile of lego pieces, and you need to figure out how to assemble them into a house from scratch. React, on the other hand, gives you a set of pre-designed lego components (like doors, windows, and walls) that you can easily snap together to build your house. This makes building and maintaining the house much simpler and less error-prone.
So, React is like a set of tools and rules that help you build web interfaces more efficiently and maintain them as they grow, without starting from scratch every time.

React's declarative approach
Think of React's declarative approach as writing a to-do list for a personal assistant. In an imperative task delegation, you'd specify detailed instructions for each task, like, "Go to the store, buy milk, check the expiry date, and return home." You're managing every task step by step.
With React, you act like a project manager. You create a high-level task list, saying, "I need groceries from the store," and your assistant handles the logistics, deciding the best route, checking for discounts, and ensuring everything is brought back. You're focused on what needs to be done, not micromanaging the process.

In this task delegation analogy, React allows you to outline the desired tasks (UI state) without getting bogged down in the specifics (DOM updates). When your shopping list (data) changes, React efficiently manages the execution of tasks (UI updates), making sure your web app stays organized and efficient. It's like having a reliable assistant who takes care of the details, making your coding more efficient and your web app management hassle-free.

Setting up a Development Environment
Before we dive into React, it's essential to set up your development environment. You'll need Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed.
---------------------------------------------------
If you haven't already, head over to the official websites to download and install them:
Node.js: https://t.co/iSEqgDJrsV
npm: https://t.co/EikP5fFEcF
----------------------------------------------------
STEP1:
Once you have Node.js and npm installed, you can use npm to install Create React App, a tool that sets up a new React project with a basic configuration:
npm install -g create-react-app

STEP 2:
npx create-react-app demo_project
(usually takes a bit time)

STEP 3:
cd demo_project
npm start
(This will create a new React application and start a development server.)

Navigate to the src directory and open the App.js file. You'll see your first React component there. You can edit it to customize your app's content.

What is a React Component?
For now in simpler words, a component is a reusable piece of user interface that can be created as a function (functional component) or as a class (class component).
Why Components?
Components in React make it easier to manage and organize your code because you can create, update, and reuse them as needed.

That's it for Day 1! Tomorrow, we'll explore React components in detail. Stay tuned and happy coding! 🔥

The adoption of cellphones by Keralan fishermen is, I believe, the most stunning example of the contribution of information technology to market performance.

Take a look at this graph for background: in three different regions of Kerala, phones were adopted at different times.
Kozhikode got cellphones before Kannur, who got them before Kasaragod. Adoption by fishermen was fast when phones were finally introduced:
Now look at what happened to the price of fish after phones entered the scene:
The dispersion in prices virtually disappeared! The author of the study wrote about this that:

"Before any region had mobile phones, the degree of price dispersion across markets within a region on any given day is high, and there are many cases where the price is zero (i.e., waste). However, within a few weeks of mobile phones being introduced in Region I, there is a sharp and striking reduction in price dispersion. Prices across markets in the region rarely differ by more than a few rupees per kilogram on any day, compared to cases of as much as 10 Rs/kg prior to the introduction of mobile phones. In addition, the prices in the various markets rise and fall together and the week-to-week variability within each market is much smaller, since catchment zone-specific quantity shocks are now spread across markets via arbitrage. Further, there are no cases of waste in this region after phones are introduced.

"By contrast, price behavior in regions II and III appears largely unchanged after phones are introduced in region I. However, after mobile phones are introduced in region II, prices again become much less dispersed across markets on any given day, less variable within markets over time, and waste is ultimately eliminated, whereas region III again remains unchanged. Finally, the same pattern holds once region III adds phones."

Efficient information transmission enables efficient markets. It's amazing what technology can do.

If you're programming a game where a boat moves through water, you might be tempted (as I would) to change the V-shape angle of the waves behind the boat based on how fast the boat was moving!

What if I told you that that V-shaped angle is always 19.47°, regardless of how fast the boat is travelling? 😱

This pattern even holds true for a duck traversing a pond. 🦆

The envelope of these waves stands at a fixed angle, and the wake has a characteristic feathered pattern.

This wake pattern was first explained mathematically by Lord Kelvin (William Thompson) and are known today as the Kelvin wake pattern.

@NWmwaypolice Any indication as to how long it will be closed?

@R_P_one I think they probably hit that spot to compromise it’s longitudinal strength. I guess there is no lightship weight distribution but heavy stern / due to a narrow block coefficient not much buoyancy forward.
