mruniverse··on Virtual DOM is pure overhead (2018)
> ...seem to be trying to present React's claim of the VDOM faster than the DOM as some kind of toddler mistake.

It wasn't a toddler mistake, but it was repeated over and over to convince people to move to React.

mruniverse··on Software Projects and Heroes: Lessons Learned from GitHub Projects
The "hero" phrase is fine. It just refers to the devs doing 80% of the work.
mruniverse··on Software Projects and Heroes: Lessons Learned from GitHub Projects
The "disposable entities" part reminds me of sprints where everything is broken down into 2-3 week chunks. A deliverable is expected in that time. It can be a tiny part or bigger part but must be a complete "thing" with unit tests and what not.

It tracks with the idea that programming is like factory work.

The "hero" phrase refers to the devs doing 80% of the commits.

Have you found projects where work is spread thinly across many developers successful?

mruniverse··on Software Projects and Heroes: Lessons Learned from GitHub Projects
Who designs the project and "correctly" divides it? Some hero?
mruniverse··on Reahl – A Python-only web framework
Leave out the "one language only (Python)" part and it would be fine. Otherwise it's clickbait.
mruniverse··on Reahl – A Python-only web framework
Just take out the "one language only (Python)" part.

What's wrong with simply "Reahl 4.0: Build web apps in Python".

It's clear and truthful.

mruniverse··on Reahl – A Python-only web framework
https://www.reahl.org/docs/4.0/devmanual/ownwidget.d.html?hi...

About half-way down is "Write code for a JavaScript widget"

mruniverse··on Reahl – A Python-only web framework
The post title is misleading.
mruniverse··on Reahl – A Python-only web framework
"one language only" if you don't count the javascript, html and css.
mruniverse··on The Phone That’s Failing Apple: iPhone XR
The early 90's is right. They had that great GUI and plug-n-play to themselves for years, but still managed to almost go under.
mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
You can start the negotiations. If things are ridiculous, bring them back to earth.
mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
Recent history reparations wouldn't be absurd. For instance, the US should start with the American Indians and then the African slave trade.
mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
I think reparations are the way to go.
mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
I was and I stand corrected.

I was trying to address the idea that since the US did bad things in the past, it's ok for other nations to do them too.

mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
Are we talking the slavery ladder?
mruniverse··on China’s Economy Slows Sharply
Yeah they shouldn't follow that history.

The US also had slavery.

mruniverse··on Google's 'two-tier' workforce training document
Certain jobs aren’t as valued as others. Hence less pay and benefits. Is there something unethical about that?
mruniverse··on The Most Misread Poem in America (2015)
Which would you choose now in that moment? The ego teacher or helper teacher?
mruniverse··on Philosophy Has Made Plenty of Progress
But religion asks you to believe in something there’s no evidence for. To commit your life to it. Then when challenged, it asks that you disprove it.
mruniverse··on The Return of the Super-Elite
Why is it short-sighted to say if inequality or laws that cause inequality are removed, then societal ills will be fixed?

If we can make laws that cause ills then we can remove those laws and their ills.

mruniverse··on British cave diver considering legal action after 'pedo' attack by Elon Musk
Hopefully people will idolize Musk a little less.
mruniverse··on Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America
I like the writing from Paul Krugman. He tries to explain systemic reasons for inequality.
mruniverse··on Amazon is recruiting entrepreneurs to start delivery networks
I can't have them deliver to work anymore because their delivery window ends at 8pm.
mruniverse··on Squeezed: Why Our Families Can’t Afford America
Is it worth reading or is it just about how things are more expensive and we don't make enough?
mruniverse··on A New Look Inside Theranos’ Dysfunctional Corporate Culture
It helps to establish among peers that he's full of it. Next time he says something, you'll take it with a grain of salt.
mruniverse··on On becoming a better developer (2015)
I agree. If you have someone who shows mastery in one area, you see what level they can attain. With a generalist (assuming no mastery), it's a gamble. They might not be able to master anything.
mruniverse··on An Update on Last Week’s Accident
You would think they would at least add pylons leading up to the divider: https://ops.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/fhwahop13007/images/fi...

The divider is from the fast lane no less.

mruniverse··on Martin Shkreli has been sentenced to seven years in prison
No actual loss because he returned it?
mruniverse··on How and why we moved to Vue.js
How useful are these "Why we moved to ..." blog posts?
