The beauty of loose dynamic typing

Fucking modern web dev piece of shit where you can't even ctrl+F among the big list to find what you were seeking. Guess at least it covers a decent breadth of styles.

Wear animal skin underwear

Of course. I am saying mentioning its open source says nothing about whether some of the nodes are CIA operated, etc

Tor is open source but nobody knows who runs the nodes

If you think that UX is bad, then I am sorry to state you are one of the reasons why the web is so bloated and slow in the first place.

>what chance do the rest of us have?

A huge and very easy opportunity. Current software is not just unoptimized, it is antioptimized to the neck. Any idiot could do far better than current "state of the art" if he is raised with prioritizing the correct things and understanding useless layers and crap for what it is.

>"quick execution"

I wonder where they are seeing this "quick execution". I for one am unable to see it as hard as I try to look.

>used extra blubber layers to simplify their life

"simplify" lmao

Or rather to create an artificial market and justify their pay. More deeply, it is a symptom of our economic system that forces to do such things for having a living.

Point is, most normal computer usage absolutely should NOT require a 10TB SSD and 256GB ram. It didn't for providing the same/more functionality a few years ago, why does it suddenly require these days?

More importantly spending 99% of the time on self-inflicted non-problems that come with using the web as application platform. For example that anyone can open any url anytime...that alone leads to so many problems related to security (user isn't supposed to be able to see/edit/etc this part) and flow (this page shouldn't be visited before filling a form in this other page, and or if we randomly visit there it would error out crazy, what if user deletes their session, what if network is lost which can happen literally any time in the applications life etc) and then of course theres the matter of anything that would be a trip to ram/local hard disk becomes a networked trip to a distant server.

Not for long. The js people have discovered Node.

> just old PC with Core i5.

with possibly 8 gigs of RAM?

Thats still WAY faster than most machines being used in the wild.

Sorry, your SV bubble is showing.

It's absolutely ridiculous how some content based websites require several MB of js to function. And the devs say this is because it is 'easier' to write such apps. And if the thought of optimization even comes to their minds, its just adding another layer on top of this madness to manage the layers below, or saying its too hard. Of course it is hard if you start with an overcomplex solution in the first place and try to trim away stuff from it. How hard exactly is it to write some plain html and css, with js doing some optional improvements? Most problems of web development are self inflicted.

I was talking to someone once about how ridiculously bloated Imgur is and that I had to use Imgoat because of the slow internet I was experiencing then. Of course they were trying to make all kinds of excuses like imgur not having servers nearby etc. But of course the really simple fact couldn't get to their heads that Imgur downloads like what 2-3 MB maybe even more of crap minus the actual image whereas Imgoat is something like 500 KB. No amount of network optimizations and caches etc are going to get over this fact. And also, such optimizations are over and above the page download size improvements anyways. If Imgoat used such techniques it'd be even faster. Most importantly: both sites have the exact same and simple core function, yet one site is so many times more bloated than the other. I will let you derive your own conclusions as to what this means.

And imgur also has the typical horrendous js misuses such as scrollbar hijacking that makes absolutely no sense etc.

Theres a huge spectrum between SPAs and pure js-less apps.

What are knobs used for anyways outside of daws?

The mobile and web people are probably triggered at this ui lol

They'd probably keep it a secret if they manage to succeed (and slowly dole it out as per need and sell it at high present costs); of course unless a rival manages to do so as well and threatens "publicizing" the fact.

edit: The article does seem to cover this situation kind of.

Doesn't Twitch have similar rules regarding not advertising other streaming sites? I mean, its reasonable trying not to give free advertisement for your competitors.

They did try that once, the sane ones among them ended up loathing that site

Ah right, American democrats, the "extreme left"

lmao at trusting their "charters" to gauge their real aims

Of course, thats the image they would love to present. And of course, why would they even have the actual people in the know making these presentations.

And it is very natural they'd be interested in Big Data and Artificial Intelligence. Even a fool could understand why.

Well tbh, it seems 2^k-1 does actually match the sequence as far as it is shown. Perhaps there is a proof that n=2^k-1 for the numbers where 2^n is divisible by (n+1). I'll have to see.

Which is to say, 2^n-1.

Well haha still seems like a lot of brain was put into it.

Also, there's a simpler pattern to the sequence that is easily observable without even opening OEIS.

Hey I'd comment on your stuff but those are completely out of domain of knowledge. And on big popular sites, getting attention to your content is mostly a matter of luck. Or if you care enough you can see the relation between votes and time of the day etc and use this knowledge to your advantage.

Why are strings made immutable by default in some langs (I have seen this mainly in java and python)? Nothing fundamentally requires strings to be so. Has some analysis been done indicating most string operations in software would benefit by immutable form rather than non-immutable form?

>As an added bonus, those casts will fend off the occasional frontend developer who accidentally wanders into the codebase.

Beautiful lol
