HeyHoJoe··on Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
Yeah, I can see the thread just fine, I can also see the majority of posters and the more substantive posters disagreeing with you. Also the only person who comes close to dictating anything here is you.

And I’m still not seeing the benefit of all that experience by the way.

HeyHoJoe··on Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
I don’t know if it was your comment, but you can tell me you’re the queen of Scotland for all I care. Just look at your complaint above in this thread about DI and how no one can make sense of it. If you have so much experience you hide it well.
HeyHoJoe··on Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
The entire web platform is a mess because of an unclear complain about configuration? You could at least try being specific if you’re going to make such stark claims.
HeyHoJoe··on Astonishing Performance of .NET 5
Going off of the dot net core 5 release thread, I assume it’s because of misunderstanding or lack of familiarity with the platform. There was a very confused top level comment that seemed to be complaining about DI and dependency drilling down several layers. That’s just not using DI at all. In general DI is a great pattern that encourages lose coupling and testability, so I also don’t get the complaint.
HeyHoJoe··on Never Pay for Online Dating (2010)
Does that mean that you don’t actually know?
HeyHoJoe··on Never Pay for Online Dating (2010)
Yeah, most men who use them feel this way. I met a guy one time who claimed he had been active on tinder for a year and hadn’t gotten one match. Granted he wasn’t much of a looker but that’s just rough.
HeyHoJoe··on Never Pay for Online Dating (2010)
What do you imagine that bridging of the gap looks like?
HeyHoJoe··on Never Pay for Online Dating (2010)
Wouldn’t help, the same numbers breakdown would occur, people would still be unhappy as a consequence, it would just be more up front. Well, it’s the world people want, hope they like it.

Of course, every woman deserves her top 1% Prince Charming.
HeyHoJoe··on The Gods on Hacker News
Quiet you, back to eating your beans.
HeyHoJoe··on The Gods on Hacker News
I’m convinced that most of the users on this site are sitting in their house that they rent with eight other people in their underwear eating beans out of a can.

> There's no way in hell many of the people I've talked to on here about a bunch of different things would ever have those conversations with me

A bit of an inferiority complex here, you can’t possibly be that unpleasant in real life.

HeyHoJoe··on How to revert HP printer’s ban on 3rd-party ink cartridges
Joke’s on them, my new but cheap POS HP printer won’t even recognise and connect to the wifi, so it can’t ever download updates.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
Paranoia’s a hell of a drug.
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
Apologies for being rude, but that’s just nonsense. What ‘good defaults’ does graphql give you?
HeyHoJoe··on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.
Of course. These conspiracies depend on how schizotypical people are. People who are more “fantasy prone” are more likely to believe in magic, the supernatural, aliens and various other kinds of woo. It’s hardly surprising that hippie types should be included - what is the fundamental difference between believing in crystal healing and laylines and believing qanon? There’s no rational basis for either.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
They’re cheap toys that seem cool but end up having little practical use. My point isn’t that they’re useless, just that they have an awful lot of potential to be useless, and a lot of the time a laptop would be better.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
Yeah, I bought some of them. I use none of them. There’s more demand for laptops.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
Nah, I’m a real user. I just don’t find the raspberry pi to be very useful for me, even as a toy. Seriously, you think intel is going around badmouthing the raspberry pi because they’re threatened?
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
This is just going around in circles. “This thing is bad practise”. Ok, don’t do that thing. This is not an argument against rest or for graphql.
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
You would expect to be able to have a discussion of the pros and cons, and recognition at the least that other approaches are viable.

> React is a hype stack now?

Yeah, kinda. You definitely need some sort of front end framework, but I feel like there should be something better than react. I use react every day and it’s fine, but I’m waiting for something else to come and take it’s dominant position.

HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
> I would encourage you to re-evaluate your position as if you voiced those opinions in an interview with basically anyone I know you would quickly get passed up in favor someone that actually knows what they are talking about.

Ha. Now we’re introducing threats. Don’t agree with my technical opinions? You’ll never work in this town again! Funny, funny stuff.

HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
I think that’s just pretty basic bad design, to be honest.
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
What if you don’t have separate teams, or what if your teams are in the same room? Why do you want your frontend to select it’s own data rather than consuming predefined known quantities? Is this not analogous to type safety? Is graphql not in fact closer to having a database that you query from the frontend, not least of all because it literally has ‘query language’ in the name?
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
Even if users don’t have 5G, why is your rest api so slow that it’s an issue? Why is graphql the solution? The featured article points out that optimising rest can be a better solution, in terms of time and effort, than implementing graphql. The problem that graphql solves isn’t this one.
HeyHoJoe··on Why not use GraphQL?
I completely agree. Too often developers fall into the trap of engineering solutions inappropriate to the size and scale of their business.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
That’s sort of the point, there’s lots of demand for a cheap laptop, there’s very little actual demand for the raspberry pi, which is why everyone is trying to morph the rpi into a laptop.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
If you say so, but I doubt I’ll buy an rpi again, with or without a built in keyboard. I had a look at project ideas when the 400 was announced and realised there was nothing I wanted to do, and for most of the projects you can buy a premade solution cheaply. I guess I’m not their target audience.
HeyHoJoe··on Raspberry Pi 400 – First Impressions
> I own several Raspberry Pi computers (1, 2 and 3). Most of them are the Model B format, but I have couple of Zeros too. All of them sit in a box, unused.

Same for me and most people I know who have bought an rpi. Buy it because it seems like a cool toy and then stick it in a box and never use it for anything.

HeyHoJoe··on Clean code won't save the planet
Indeed, if the magnitude of the action is greater then it is more important. I’m not sure how accurate the authors estimate is, but my feeling is that even accounting for client devices, we’re talking about a vanishingly small proportion of global emissions, with the possible exception of the very largest tech companies. Though it depends on what the actual emissions value is, which I can’t say that I know.
