In the same way that people are dumbfounded that natural immunity from having it is superior than the vaccine.

It’s as if we all forgot how viruses work.

The interwoven guitars in "Frame by frame" is my absolute favorite bit of music.

“Code reuse”. There’s your buzzword excuse for that project being a web view.

Edit: I also said it was easier to hire. Which IMO is an organizational anti pattern. Look at all the talks of Clojure shops, who despite having a small hiring pool, usually find passionate, practical developers who quickly pick up the language.

Electron allows you to hire devs who prefer code aesthetics over what the thing actually does to/on your computer.

This is a great example. Companies no longer wish to write performant desktop apps because it’s much easier to keep and hire cool young devs who think the syntax that you write your views in matters more than the experience as a whole.

I’ve had “engineers” at my company push leadership enough to force me to create a build/plug-in system for react components to render a map of the US. I made the same map in D3 at home over the weekend in vanilla JS.

The excuse was DX. How can we test it and use storybook if we don’t use react and generate a giant dingus of a bundle?

Edit: so don’t just trust “engineers”.

There are websites and web apps. Two very different things.

What makes the Russian videos credible?

There’s absolutely no way that this could have happened in Philly and Atlanta. Absolutely no way. The pipes burst. They had to stop counting.

Don't the cones need fire to open and disperse the seeds? I thought this is how that biome works, no matter how many pretty houses you build in it, it's still a wooded desert.

Then learn to code.

Edit: It's a legitimate solution. I've survived 3 reorgs at my company because I could code. I read up on the new incoming system and became effective.

are you me? am I you?

I will say I greatly enjoyed my time at all boys catholic school. Much more focus and camaraderie throughout the entire grade instead of the drama that ensues when you have couples holding hands in the hallway.

edit: Note I did 2 years of high school at catholic and 2 years at public.

You don't think every race in some part of the world has committed an atrocity at some point?

Your view of history is so small.

Then stop training workers in valueless things like agile PM or Product mgmt

I don’t even know haha. All the cat people in my life are vastly different drivers. The joke appeared instantly and I had to pull the trigger.

This is actually not that hard to do and has been done many many many times before.

URLs can be unique ids for scrolling to.

Simple Ajax function to attach cards on scroll.

Poll or get pinged by SSE to pull updates, swap by url as Id

Loads fast if you simply render html and lazy load the images. Css is almost instant.

We can do better with so much less. Unfortunately we now have front end engineers everywhere doing web development.

That’s true. But this one had already hit.

It absolutely does. Republicans have a distrust of large institutions/corporations because of the above.

Honestly, they might be the most realistic about this whole thing. You can’t stop a tsunami.

But we’ll trade thousands of lives to secure some nice minerals in Afghanistan. Cmon.

How dense are you?

That’s what he wanted us to think.

I use this all the time. One of the best ways to reliably center absolute elements.

The next “thing” will happen in 20 years. 9/11 -> Covid -> (whatever 2040 cooks up for us to make sure the next generation lives in fear)

20% of the people do all the work. So let us stay home so I don’t have to wear noise cancelling headphones all day. Let the other 80% “perform” their duties.

Writing React components.

The point was that there are many ways to solve the problem. For say, a simple tab layout where you add click handlers to the tabs and hide/ show the contents, you would never notice any latency using the DOM apis. The DOM apis are the core of web development. You need to know them and consider them before moving into the abstraction atop.

Why not just have a function that makes a db call and then send the data into the template?

If a mobile app needs to request the same data, simply make a .json version of the route and use that same little db access function, shove the return into res.json({}) and Tada.

Sharing ui code between react native and web-react is pointless so you'd be sharing what? some formatting functions? the request functions that the .json and ssr routes effectively return for you?
