Offtopic — is it some cardinal sin to include a link to the home page from a documentation? I dont know what canva does, if I stumble on a documentation page first, should I not be allowed to see the product's landing page at some point? This is so prevalent, it has to be a conscious choice.

That’s for regular battles, not all of which are recorded in history. Battle of Cannae was remembered specifically because of the death toll

- Do not buy clothes that need ironing

Does anyone seriously expect nothing to change and improve for 30 years, or however long their career is? Not just in software, but any profession. Long gone are the days when the same plow is used for 10 generations.

From my experience its not learning something new thats a problem, but getting the organisational support to push a major change through

Having interacted with Stripe's chat and email support, I have a similar feeling - their goal is to get me to go away instead of actually helping with my problem.

My first and only choice is their discord support, when that doesnt help I rather work around the problem than get stuck in their email limbo.

I wouldnt call it a "gotcha". Using vanilla javascript you'd be using className as well:

    document.body.className = 'class1 class2'

JSX chose to align names to the DOM spec [0]. Same for htmlFor and friends.

nginx by default adds a version header in the response. I did not expect that nginx.org themselves would be 2 minor versions behind latest.

I like how they included video examples, for those whose browsers dont support the api. I liked more how on safari all the videos are just white.

Even Visual Studio UI is not safe from inflation. Is making everything 10% bigger necessary?

Jetbrains also introduced a new inflated UI recently, and at least provided a compact mode.

My first thought was Dance Dance Authentication

Thats surprising, given that Google cant filter out actual spam

Would compilers optimise the unnecessary variable away?

Is Nvidia taking advantage of the crypto/AI trends, or enabling them?

useEffect was designed to allow shooting yourself in the foot, in a good way. There's never a situation when react doesnt allow you to accomplish something - the page even a mentions of synchronising with jquery!

Whats the alternative you propose? Not allowing react to be used with any 3rd party libraries or access to browser apis?

Forward comparability?

How would passing a value from one hook to another look like, for example, Subhook requiring viewport value to set up some subscription?

Its a post-communication world. While before only a title was read and comments made based on assuming what the content is, now we assume what the comment is and reply based on that.

Its not an optimisation, its about state management.

React can’t see the difference between a reorder and remove&insert. When reordering items the state should be moved as well; when removing and inserting a new item, state should reset.

Using an array index is equivalent to silencing the error

Many of those lawmakers want to regress back to the 18th century, replacing modern banking with cholera. Not having a tech industry isn’t a threat to them, it’s the goal

I chose not to use sendgrid (twilio) because they force their own 2nd factor auth app, instead of allowing to use literally any of the ones already out there.

Anecdotal, but still

> We haven't opened a PR because esquery seems to be unmaintained at this point.

This all was for nought, or were PRs for other changes opened?

{# is it just javascript?}

They probably call it "included promotions" instead of ads, and pretend it’s okay.

Php supports kebab-case variables:

    ${"variable-name"}=123;

Isnt it beautiful?

I dont know python. Does python3 have different behaviour than python2 on the same code, beyond just crashing?

> I've found that people that learned class-based React first and then switched to modern function-based React often have more trouble with useEffect than people who learned functional components directly

I’d say its the opposite; people who used lifecycle methods know that useEffect and friends eliminates an entire class of bugs. People who started with hooks dont understand the problems it solved, and only see the quirks

Upgrading probably does reduce performance slightly, but is it a noticeable difference; or is it something people say because of degraded batteries and go "hurr durr update bad"?

While I do have mostly usable fingers, fingerprint readers do not like me; my hands are consistently too sweaty

Interesting. Page 5 also includes an image but text is selectable there.
