lerpapoo··on Ask HN: Who is hiring? (September 2024)
interesting idea!
lerpapoo··on Evaluating front end frameworks and not choosing any
yea…okay lol
lerpapoo··on Evaluating front end frameworks and not choosing any
You forgot * performance *
lerpapoo··on Evaluating front end frameworks and not choosing any
preact has worse performance than react at the expense of size and hooks are basically on the only reason I’m still using react. Without hooks I would be forced to create react component classes instead of simple functions… they are very very handy
lerpapoo··on Evaluating front end frameworks and not choosing any
Why are people still going crazy over the distributable file size, just serve react via their cdn and it will already be cached in the browser since it’s already used on every other page you load.
lerpapoo··on Urbit: A clean-slate OS and network for the 21st century
some linux os that comes with "a decentralized ID", "a crypto wallet", and "customer support chat bot", idk the vibe that this is going for but i think i'll pass lmao.
lerpapoo··on Show HN: A GUI you are going to lava
Wow, I made same GUI in react and got 0 stars :(, but I would still rather use mine since it is more performant, has less css bloat (don't need css in middleware), and has more useful functionality and features which I need such as precise range dragging, infinite menus, anchor snapping to edges of screen, some realtime line/bar charts, and a more slim ui. https://lerp-io.github.io/editor-gui/
lerpapoo··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
does youtube not make enough revenue already?
lerpapoo··on WinApps: Run Windows apps in Linux as if they were a part of the native OS
run (4) windows apps in linux as if they were part of the native OS.
lerpapoo··on A one-line change decreased our build times by 99%
tldr can i guess it was doing some extra network roundtrips or something?
lerpapoo··on We throw away our power as engineers working for other people
lol savage
lerpapoo··on We throw away our power as engineers working for other people
there is building "for people" and then there is building "FOR THE PEOPLE", you decide.
lerpapoo··on What if we'd had better HTML-in-JS syntax all along?
if this is about react then...xml inside javascript is for scrubs, just rename your createElement to 1 letter (mine is h) and use coffeescript lol.

i also renamed my "className" to "cn" so i dont have to type it but i wouldn't recommend that.

  h 'div',
    cn: 'myclass'
    h 'span',{},"mytext"
    h 'span,{},"asd"
lerpapoo··on Scunthorpe Sans – a self-censoring font
e for effor
lerpapoo··on Customers do not ask for software complexity
the software that makes you the most money is the one which no one asked for and the one that everyone used
lerpapoo··on Time is the only real currency we have
some are worth more than others.
lerpapoo··on YouTube bans coronavirus-related content that directly contradicts WHO advice
"no you can't have it as a toggle button in the settings because we need to be able to control what you watch"
lerpapoo··on X410 – X Server for Windows 10
windows on linux or linux on windows...WHO will WIN?
lerpapoo··on GitHub is now free for teams
wtf i love microsoft, now.
lerpapoo··on Malleable Systems: Software must be as easy to change as it is to use it
open ended thinking on a framework level is basically R&D, many companies don't have money for R&D, they just need something to sell and get paid so you can get your next paycheck, but u can try and find a sugar daddy or live off of foodstamps for a few years and really put some thought into it lol.
lerpapoo··on E Ink smart screen puts a newspaper on your wall
would be cool with one that just shows a fresh copy of the times on a wall everyday but picks one for the current day from random ones in the past. or maybe make it fun where it picks one from the past with similar headlines.
lerpapoo··on Software Disenchantment (2018)
yea, I don't like articles like this for the same reason. nobody has the brain power (yet) to rewrite the entire stack in a gpu shader and add in complex logic and a dynamic interface. it's an optimization vs delivery tradeoff. If someone is getting payed to build a product, they must deliver it with the tools at hand, you can invest time to optimize it but it will come at a cost of less features. This also depends on the industry, if you are building lower stack drivers that others will depend on, you care about performance more. Higher level applications are more user oriented and care more about ui and features. organically, people tend to spend their time and braincells in the most valuable way they can. a lot of products, especially in the web world, features hold more value than performance. Once we get the agi thing going, we can just task it to strip and redesign the entire OS down to the kernel and tailored for every user, strip everything down to only the buttons that the user clicks. some granny only knows how to open up google and read her newspaper website, all that other code can be removed lol.
lerpapoo··on Show HN: Open-Source Dashboard UI Kit
It looks so nice, I always look at admin dashboards and compare the style to what i have and then i think how much hell it is to build all the functionality compared to just designing buttons, I wish all I had to do was just design the look and it would just automagically decide what kind of hellish logical backend it plugs into lol.
