I'd consider it a satisfying little exercise in deductive reasoning / OSINT – if reasoning is worthwhile and exercises are worthwhile, then this must be as well
> [...] provides more protection for the contributor (Facebook) against software patent claims of licensees. It’s odd that a community so opposed to software patents would find this objectionable [...]
While confusion about the license might be behind some or most of the community reaction, the fact that the license refers to litigation over any patent, not just software patents, neutralizes this punchline. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this clause positions Facebook to fight any patent infringement suit with a software patent infringement suit, which is not in the spirit of the opposition to software patents at all.
This sort of declarative transition comes in handy for us all the time. Two features I don't see yet in React-Move that we find useful is a prop for more precise control over the staggering (orderBy), and custom interpolation (interpolate).
Tesla's mission is a prerequisite for SpaceX's— it's difficult to establish modern civilization on Mars, but establishing fossil fuel-powered civilization there is a non-starter.
I thought the Seinfeld one was great for a few minutes, and then just wound up watching the rest on the screen that's behind you ;-) But I did appreciate the camera direction more
Both built around not just smart people but increasingly smart machines. The manufacturing processes and the autonomous vehicle products themselves are cases of state of the art robotics at scale. Some of this overlap is perhaps embodied by SpaceX's VP of Software Jinnah Hosein doubling as Tesla's VP of Autopilot Software before Chris Lattner's arrival.
My team and I have been using and finding success with such a pattern for a couple of years now.
As others are alluding to, transitions are not currently so easy to express with React alone. We wrote and recently open-sourced a React component that aims to encapsulate the power and simplicity of d3 transitions (feedback & contributions welcome): https://github.com/dechov/join-transition/
I'm sure he'd prefer someone else do it but then again he might have preferred that someone else would have conceived of and designed it -- or something similar. There's a chance, as with the leadership of Tesla, that no one else with the capability (or position/reputation) to execute will be found, and I'd be surprised if he were not heavily involved in seeing it through.
