UlisesAC4··on Pipe Operator (|>) For JavaScript
Pipe is a tool for dealing with batching too.
UlisesAC4··on Japan to invest on nuclear energy in major policy shift
David Jiménez Ex Director of the Spanish Newspaper El Mundo was there in Fukushima. In one of his commentaries (extracted mainly from his interview in the podcast of Jordi Wild) explains that he encountered rescuers who showed him Geiger instruments measuring unsafe levels of radiation.

And a really gossip comment comes from JDM car lovers that have gone to Fukushima and show abandoned cars with again unsafe radiation levels.

It is not easy to react to a possible nuclear disaster after a heavy earthquake anyways.

UlisesAC4··on Electric car sales drive toward cleaner air, less mortality
Source of EV's electricity matters too. In Mexico lots of electricity comes from burning heavy crude oil so If we switched magically in a day to EVs we would just be offshoring the emissions.

Governments need to realize that just pushing EV is not going to make it alone.

UlisesAC4··on Writing by hand is still the best way to retain information
Something that also helped me was reading aloud. The level of concentration required to do it is similar to hand writing.
UlisesAC4··on The stick shift might survive the electric revolution
A manual EV can make sense. A normal stick is just a torque modifier. If we have a "stick" that limits torque of an EV, with this we can limit the way torque is delivered in each gear, with this the experience of such drive can be similar.

Well, Elon just deleted his job.
UlisesAC4··on Elon Musk says he fired engineer who corrected him on Twitter
If your comment on something, which in turn was right or not ends having consequences then free speech doesn't apply at all.

UlisesAC4··on React I love you, but you're bringing me down
It is bonkers. My number of "accidental" re renders on react are greater than before hooks.

Before at least I knew what was called on boostrap moments. Now everything is run as a side effect when any dependency change. My needs on checking if a prop or a dependency has changed hasn't evolved at all. I just have the core of my side effects on useEffect.

UlisesAC4··on Mexican Loan Apps, Extortion, and the Google Play Store
People don't know the demographic that consumes those apps in Mexico.

It's true, people who go for these apps earn at most 300 usd per month an some of them with family.

UlisesAC4··on Astro 1.0 – a web framework for building fast, content-focused websites
I didn't really like that comparison as one big page. It is not complete at all.

As an avid user of Gatsbyjs I can say that people don't see that the graphql usage in that tool is the medium not the end for the sake of having graphql.

UlisesAC4··on Hooks Considered Harmful
But agents and genservers are a good way of dealing with state.
UlisesAC4··on In praise of opinionated frameworks
IMHO, using the flexible tool has a sunk cost on it. We choose them for the If's and When's. And the majority of times they never come.

My experience comes from React. My love to it came for the freedom, but once I figure my way of working on it, then I realized that I wanted a comfortable way of doing things in React. And that is something that the community "agreed" in silence, not for nothing next.js is getting the 1# of way of doing things.

With this we are somewhat trading the "flexibility" of React. But this is why I ask myself, what is the flexibility I wanted? I am always going to use the same router library, the same ui library, I wanted an "opinionated way of doing things", my own opinion, but I just liked the flexibility of the api of React.

At the end, I understood that we want opinions, but opinions that match our mental model. With the help of those we can figure efficient doings in efficient time. Because too much freedom gets in the way.

If I were starting today I would directly choose next, instead of trying to make my own framework with create react app, I would choose an opinion with solid foundations like next.

UlisesAC4··on Angular 11
> I feel that Angular is actually hostile to young professionals

I am not sure about that, it is more that the full stack of technologies for current SPA is daunting for new developers.

When learning react one just go to one part at a time, first rendering, then props, now learn to use the router library. When using angular one can feel overwhelmed because all the panel of tools is presented in one repo.

UlisesAC4··on Rejected from YC (Again)
The trend I have seen is that VC's invest in teams, not in the idea at least in the first place.

Constraint layout is a delight for working, I wish there was something like that in css.

UlisesAC4··on Linux Kernel Fastboot [pdf]
Totally, Arch feels snappier in the same hardware that I am surprised that my machine can hold a lot of power for development.
UlisesAC4··on Nvidia CEO says Google is the only customer building its own silicon at scale
Intel can afford to do its own silicon and they are not going really well security wise right now.

But that was not the message, is about understanding risks.

UlisesAC4··on Remote working – Bringing sanity to mind and lessons worth learning
To avoid problems with intentions, put a rule or something? so everyone must expect that every comment comes from good intentions.
UlisesAC4··on Learn more programming languages, even if you won't use them
Sometimes our daily job tasks are nastier jokes than we would like to admit.
UlisesAC4··on A new Einstein cross is discovered
Space still expands lower than light speed, the moment expansions goes faster night skies will be completely dark because other objects' light won't be able to reach our field of vision. I do not remember how that phenomenon is called.
UlisesAC4··on Japan's cyber-security minister has 'never used a computer'
It is not about being better than your teams. It is about knowing the field of work to ensure that you can use your teams to build something better (or at least supposed too).

I have the experience of an accountant who never knew how a software development was supposed to be done, the next is the typical non dev nightmare manager, unreasonable deadlines, confidently adding epic features each week because his team was delivering.

In the other hand I have seen people without any knowledge climb in the corporate, an aunt of mine could not finish high school so no university degree, patience and self learning in home for about 2 years and now she has 5 years of experience as consultant of environmental security for metal industries.

Both parts must be willing to work to ensure good works, but when one of the sides does not know and do not care to fit to the job, company objectives and field of work is when everything starts to break.

UlisesAC4··on Turn Vim into Excel: Tips for Editing Tabular Data (2013)
Well technically emacs being a lisp interpreter gives you infinity possibilities.

I have heard that there was a saying that the only job of a Mac air was to open emacs.

UlisesAC4··on Google is the new Yahoo
That is a discipline called content syndication, in which one as an author publishes the majority or the total piece of text into other places with the objective of reaching new public.

The easiest task is syndicate over other platforms like medium were you can find more people instead of just waiting to people to arrive via google.
