stereocodes··on We need visual programming. No, not like that
UE Blueprints are pretty nice, and full on games are made with them. There are some perf downsides but for the most part its pretty sweet. Surprised this article didnt even once mention them.

What are talking about? Most companies don't do this. Talk about a bubble.

stereocodes··on Blender 3.2
The thing about 3d modeling and animation is that you should actually know a few tools. Most places ask you to have a portfolio with 3d projects. They almost never ask for specific applications. If you go to artstation.com and look at the tools modelers use they typically use a few at a time. Blender is insanely good for just modeling. you'll see lots of artist use blender just to model, then substance painter for materials then import into 3dsmax, cinema4d, or maya for the renderer.

A cool note I just learned recently is that game companies are using blender to make hard surface modeling easy. Like EA is using blender to make all the levels in the Deadspace remake and importing that into Frostbite(their game engine)

real caustics!! finally we don't have to make a mask with light nodes.

so you're just a jerk. nice.
stereocodes··on Exposed by a Strava KOM: The Many Lives of a Fake Pro Cyclist
again you call the devs lazy. you really need to sit back and think about what you say. There is nothing more apparent to me that you have no idea what you're talking about when you say that. Obviously you've never worked on a large team or in development at all. Strava probably doesn't think its worth it, and has absolutely nothing to do with the development team.

> developers just seem completely lazy or incompetent

why? you really don't need to go down that road. Are you a developer yourself? because I'm sure you don't enjoy someone saying you're lazy because you haven't implemented a feature that some rando on the internet thinks you should. You must not be a developer because you can't possible think that this decision lands squarely on the shoulders of the dev team.

stereocodes··on Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)
did you read the article? the context of this entire thread is about form fields.
stereocodes··on Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)
LOL
stereocodes··on Custom JavaScript controls can't capture the nuance of form fields (2021)
in both examples where you claim this doesn't work it worked for me. clicking on an empty space next to the form element and hitting tab focused correctly for me. Also tabbing then starting to type worked as well. I tested in FF and Chrome. Are you sure the options exist in the select box when you type? That would make it seem like type completion doesn't work. I Tried the checkbox and radio buttons example in FF and Chrome both auto select the field and using arrow keys to make options selected worked just like native. I think the error is somewhere between keyboard and chair.

what does this have to do with form fields? edit: I see you think that context menus are form fields. Thats incorrect.

As I type into a regular textarea on this site I'm wondering where these textarea replacements on websites are? I'd love for a few examples of this happening. "Many" JS programmers recreate the textarea? Show me.
stereocodes··on Deno 1.19
they are https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/575
stereocodes··on Deno 1.19
yes you can since version .7 or something like that. deno compile. I use this quite a bit for CLIs.
stereocodes··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
Laravel is as much of a leading framework as React/NextJS are the leading frameworks for JS(next 2.5 million weekly downloads on npm, react 15 million). Its almost a 1:1 comparison. In the same way that I already pointed out JS like php, has a million fw but insiders know what the leading ones are. Everyone knows React is the clear on top winner. NextJS is also a clear on top FW. I dont think its up for debate at this point.
stereocodes··on The Evil List
airbnb is "evil" because individuals buy property in a city and use that property however they want.

google is "evil" because they cut back on a meeting from once a week to once a month and restricted the meeting to a certain topic. Of all the things you could list google for being evil with, you choose that.

I will be ignoring everything from slate.com from here on out.

stereocodes··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I see no difference. PHP has a billion FWs and a billion more CMSs. Python is the same way. Rails is the only example you give that has merit. I mean PHP is a terrible example. I've been coding PHP since around 2007, PHP has Zend FW, Laravel, Cake, Ignitor, Symphony, Silex... it keeps going and going. All I can see from your comment is some biases against JS. You do you on what you want to learn or use. But its not really an argument that holds up imo.

Are you looking for actual stats from developer surveys? you should check stack overflows yearly pulse: https://insights.stackoverflow.com/survey/2021#most-popular-....

As the other commentator pointed out there are a few options that do have a complete setup. NextJS, SailsJS, and Gatsby to name a few.
stereocodes··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
Have you tried Deno? if you hate setup and want it all to just work. I highly suggest it.
stereocodes··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I agree with this persons answer, if your goal is to go full custom. If you want all this setup done for you I suggest NextJS. It should be noted that Deno is not a bundler but an entirely different JS Runtime. The question should be do I use Node or Deno.
stereocodes··on Fetch API has landed into Node.js
sort of. There's only been one instance for me that this has caused any issues... I ended up just writing my own version of the missing tool. Deno has almost parity with node at the moment though https://deno.land/std@0.123.0/node.
