sabellito··on The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world (2019)
It seems that it's you who needs more education on the topic.

sabellito··on The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world (2019)
What if the small minority is being oppressed and killed? There are so many reasons why a small minority might need to protest within a democracy. "This seems anti democratic" is a bizarre take.
sabellito··on Proton spam and the AI consent problem
That's weird, I never had to do that. Android and firefox web.

They can search contents. You have to activate local indexing in the search UI itself.
sabellito··on Iconify: Library of Open Source Icons
Completely disagree, don't know of anyone who'd share that opinion.
sabellito··on Scott Adams has died
> After a 2022 mass shooting, Adams opined that society leaves parents of troubled teenage boys with only two options: to either watch people die or murder their own son.

That's something.

sabellito··on I switched from VSCode to Zed
Fully agree.

People call "bloat" the features they don't need, and "deal breakers" the lack of features they want besides good text editing.

sabellito··on Google Opal
You call all these products launches from google "internal innovation competitions"?

And even if they were, which they aren't, are you sure it's a "common business practice"? How many companies can afford that.

sabellito··on I migrated to an almost all-EU stack and saved 500€ per year
Not on mobile.
sabellito··on CSS Grid Lanes
How would tables solve the issue they're talking about?
sabellito··on The Problem of Teaching Physics in Latin America (1963)
You're replying in good faith to someone who ignored the main point of GP (an empire actively disrupting a region) and just said "every place has been unstable" (without even taking century-level timescales into consideration).
sabellito··on French supermarket's Christmas advert is worldwide hit (without AI) [video]
I disagree, people are just happy to see coca cola fail, which's fair enough.

The ad company that made this supermarket's piece capitalised on that, and now we have ... an ad on the front page, with people commenting on its storytelling.

Celebrating an advertisement video is absolutely bizarre.

sabellito··on A new bridge links the math of infinity to computer science
If something people dedicated multiple years of their lives studying and proving seems trivial to you, you're either a genius or you didn't understand the problem.

> Cantor's stuff can easily be trashed.

Only on hackernews.

sabellito··on Helping Valve to power up Steam devices
I'd like to see that comparison tracking the number of devs and how much open source software each company uses.
sabellito··on Apple is crossing a Steve Jobs red line
Very few countries in Europe have that issue, and afaik no country in the americas.
sabellito··on Tauri binding for Python through Pyo3
The bundle size is, by definition, much smaller as it doesn't include the browser engine.
sabellito··on Tauri binding for Python through Pyo3
This benefits people and teams who prefer to build UIs with html/js/CSS.
sabellito··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
That's not the point I was trying to make. You believe that almost all people who have issue with the law do so because of porn addiction. You haven't shown any data, it's just your belief, from which you're informing and repeating your world view as fact.
sabellito··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
It's hard to keep this conversation in good faith if you're just gonna throw in some statistic you just made up.
sabellito··on Imgur pulls out of UK as data watchdog threatens fine
Are you arguing that people who are against this law and its implementation in the UK are against it because they're addicted to porn?
sabellito··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
I meant to say more than validation, something like this feature set:

https://www.react-hook-form.com

React Hook Form is beastly.

sabellito··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
I remember seeing Mint quite a few years ago. I love the idea, I really like the language design, but I agree 100% with your take on the drawback. It's hard to sell that to teams.

What's surprising to me is how many alternatives exist in this space. Between elm, imba, svelte, and mint, and probably more that I don't know about, I wonder how many devs in the world are shipping to prod using them.

edit: have you thought about including Form Validation to the core lib?

sabellito··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
I'm definitely not the authority on the definition of that word, but in my view I expect reactivity to mean that the UI reacts to state changes "automatically".
sabellito··on React is winning by default and slowing innovation
Reading through the example, it seems like it doesn't do reactivity, as the user code must call render() manually on state changes. Did I miss something?
sabellito··on Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office
Hybrid is ok if the WFH days are set for everyone, otherwise I agree it's a waste of time, since people are randomly in the office.
sabellito··on Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office
I disagree completely with that, at least for software engineers.

The work queue is infinite, measuring output with any sort of precision is almost impossible for a lot of the work (maintenance, actually necessary refactors, security, mentoring juniors, managing stakeholders, etc etc etc). There's no "I've finished my work for today".

I'm not saying that I like it, or that it's a good thing, but in my understanding engineers are paid to be available doing work roughly 40h/week.

sabellito··on Microsoft is officially sending employees back to the office
If a portion of the team is remote, then the whole "remote team" apparatus and culture are necessary. Same with hybrid offices in which the WFH days are random instead of set for everyone.

I fully understand that this is a polarized personal preference issue. I don't think there's a way to make both work in the same company.

sabellito··on Show HN: Veena Chromatic Tuner
Maybe you're correct about windows vs macos, but I find it hard to believe that the current distribution of android vs iphone users in the world is much different for musicians.
sabellito··on Developing a Space Flight Simulator in Clojure
Fully agreed with your examples. As a rule of thumb macros should be kept inside libraries, not application code.
