robertoandred··on How to convert between wealth and income tax
Except they already paid taxes on that one billion in cash. The receipt of that cash is taxable income.
robertoandred··on How to convert between wealth and income tax
Investments aren’t money. They’re just things you own, and their value can go up and down. They don’t affect the money supply.
robertoandred··on Apple has removed most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from Apple maps?
Hezbollah attacks nursing homes and football games. How is that justified?
robertoandred··on Apple has removed most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from Apple maps?
So you’re paying attention to the last few weeks instead of the last several decades.
robertoandred··on Apple has removed most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from Apple maps?
Where was this outcry? Hezbollah made northern Israel uninhabitable for years.
robertoandred··on Bring Back Idiomatic Design
Now we’re blaming React for bad UX?
robertoandred··on Apple has removed most of the towns and villages in Lebanon from Apple maps?
Since when has war not been awful? I don’t remember anyone complaining when Hezbollah attacks Israel though.

You swipe backward. Been that way for twenty years.
robertoandred··on Apple approves driver that lets Nvidia eGPUs work with Arm Macs

Don’t think I’d call 4K at 32” high dpi.
robertoandred··on The Oxford Comma – Why and Why Not (2024)
If JFK and Stalin were strippers, there’d be a comma after Stalin to denote the parenthetical clause.
robertoandred··on macOS Tahoe windows have different corner radiuses
It’s actually the opposite. The corner radii are defined by the window type and the concentricity of its elements.

People who lack attention to detail just think things are randomly different.

robertoandred··on The United States and Israel have launched a major attack on Iran
Harris had all sorts of good things planned at home. It’s baffling to me that some voters thought it was more important to lose the election.

That was a React vulnerability, not a Next one.
robertoandred··on Why is Claude an Electron app?
I really hope React Native’s support for Mac and Windows apps takes off. The benefits of Electron without Chromium, plus native controls/functions.
robertoandred··on JavaScript-heavy approaches are not compatible with long-term performance goals
Eh, this argument falls apart for many reasons:

- His main example of bloated client-side dependencies is moment.js, which has been deprecated for five years in favor of smaller libraries and native APIs, and whose principal functionality (the manipulation and display of the user's date/time) isn't possible on the server anyway.

- There's an underlying assumption that server-side code is inherently good, performant, and well crafted. There are footguns in every single language and framework and library ever (he works for WordPress, he should know).

- He's right to point out the pain of React memoization, but the Compiler now does this for you and better than you ever could manually

- Larger bundle sizes are unfortunate, but they're not the main cause of performance issues. That'd be images and video sizes, especially if poorly optimized, which easily and immediately dwarf bundle downloads; and slow database queries, which affect server-side code just as much as browser-side code.

Hyphens please.
robertoandred··on JPEG XL Test Page
Safari started supporting it over two years ago.
robertoandred··on NASA announces unprecedented return of sick ISS astronaut and crew
It's not that the entire crew is compromised medically, it's that logistically if one goes home they all have to.
robertoandred··on Web development is fun again
Build pipelines, bundlers, CSS frameworks with their own toolchains, progressive web apps, Core Web Vitals, SEO, layout shifts, and srcset/responsive images have nothing to do with client/server rendering.
robertoandred··on iOS allows alternative browser engines in Japan
Isn’t the alternative Android?
robertoandred··on 2025 was a disaster for Windows 11
Windows doesn't require a computer?
