voat··on LLMs are still surprisingly bad at some simple tasks
So are people?
voat··on The Helix Text Editor (2024)
I tried to use helix as a vim user, but couldn't get used to the key binds. However I recently found evil-helix, and it's a joy. https://github.com/usagi-flow/evil-helix
voat··on Algebraic Effects in Practice with Flix
The algebraic effect handler pattern is a much simpler mental model than monads. And is transferrable to other languages pretty easily. See something like https://github.com/doeixd/effectively in Typescript
voat··on Ripple – A TypeScript UI framework that takes the best of React, Solid, Svelte
The ability to output JSX between native control flow is the real cool part here's, imo. Besides that it looks kinda like Rezact.
voat··on Aspects of modern HTML/CSS you may not be familiar with
And even if they don't contain a hyphen! You can just <use> <anything> <you> <want>
voat··on Manim: Animation engine for explanatory math videos
Is there a typescript alternative?
voat··on Eliminating JavaScript cold starts on AWS Lambda
Paring this with Fil-C would give it a garbage collector for free?
voat··on Show HN: Move to dodge the bullets. How long can you survive?
I think your math on the percentage is inverted. If you immediately die it says you're in the top 99%
voat··on Why Exercise Is a Miracle Drug
Maybe not a drug. But if the improvements in health come from bio chemical signals, it should be possible to activate those signals without engaging in exercise. Eventually?
voat··on Loco 16.0 Is Out
Looks pretty fully featured.
voat··on Young graduates are facing an employment crisis
Non-citizens still have rights
voat··on Nvidia becomes first company to reach $4T in market value
Are they really with $4T? I find that difficult to wrap my head around
voat··on Flix – A powerful effect-oriented programming language
I'd love to use Flix for something. It looks beautiful. But I'm a web dev, and never touch the JVM ecosystem
voat··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
They are referring to static non-interactive content (basically images and text) in sites like blogs, marketing site, docs, etc. as opposed to highly interactive, and dynamic components, think Facebook, Figma, etc.
voat··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
Client vs server routing
voat··on Astro is a return to the fundamentals of the web
Care to explain?

Astro is trying to position itself in opposition to things like Next.js or Nuxt wich are specifically marketed as application frameworks?

And the architecture is more suited to something like a content site, because of the content collections, built-in MDX support, SSR, image handling, and server routing?

voat··on Deno 2.4
People underestimate the node compatibility that Deno offers. I think the compat env variable will do a lot of adoption. Maybe a denon command or something could enable it automatically? Idk.
voat··on Local-first software (2019)
Looks really neat! Thanks for building this
voat··on I Switched from Flutter and Rust to Rust and Egui
I've personally been really impressed with gpui from the Zed folks.
voat··on Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces
Most of the modern front end frameworks can handle those use cases.

Solid, Vue, Svelte all have capable SPA frameworks and component libraries

voat··on Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces
Solid js does basically the same thing as React (building UIs for websites) but the architecture and primitives are slightly different.
voat··on Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces
Yep. Solid js stays true to js. A div is literally a div. And you can use Solid without jsx, and used tagged templates if you so desire.
voat··on Solidjs: Simple and performant reactivity for building user interfaces
I'm a big fan of Solid. It's a very influential community, however it's not widely used. All the pieces are there. I just don't see tons of marketing or real app/product/dx focus from them.

Look out for their upcoming 2.0 release, it's supposedly gonna be something special.

voat··on [dead]
Well that's bizarre
voat··on CSS Custom Functions are coming
I'm confused at all the negativity? I am personally very excited for this feature, it's going to enable one to use less JavaScript,and CSS to accomplish things that should be easy.
voat··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
React has had a mostly stable API for over a decade
voat··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
I appreciate that the author acknowledged that there must exist some reason(s) for the changes that he is unaware of.

I appreciate Svelte's new architecture, it's going to help people make smaller, faster apps, even it requires you to learn about how it's reactive system works.

voat··on Svelte 5 is not JavaScript
No one is forcing you to upgrade, Svelte 4 still works just fine? Svelte has had basically no major API changes since 2019, that's a better part of a decade. And with this new architecture change, they released a sophisticated codemod to do most of the work of updating for you.
voat··on An artist who trained rats to trade in foreign-exchange markets (2014)
I believe the op wasn't arguing that companies themselves aren't valuable, just the public speculation markets.
voat··on Dioxus 0.6 – Crossplatform apps with Rust
What is wrong with the dioxis approach?
