You're going to have to live with that.
If you disagree so much, maybe it's time to go somewhere else and spare the rest of us from your permanent, belabored grudge. Like, boo hoo. Seriously. Hopefully you find something else to spend your precious time on earth worrying about.
Running a forum is hard work and everyone wants to devolve every mod decision into rules lawyering, like "well, then why wasn't this specific thing in the rules?"
No, there can't be a rule for literally everything, so you're just going to have to be an adult and take it on the chin when the mods make a decision and double down on it. I completely empathize with dang's final post, that your "legalistic gambit" is a waste of everyone's time, and often the platform people like to spring off some sort of "omg the mod tyranny" campaign.
That happened over 70 days ago. Maybe it's time to let it go and learn to live with the fact that your tiny comment was flagged. Looking at your post history, you've lived through much worse, respectfully.
Probably the same reason pianists don't complain about the sharp wooden piano edge below the keys: hanging wrists expedite RSI and reduce dexterity.
I definitely know what you're talking about, but it's not the hill I'll die on because it's not the best habit.
Tracking whether a button is disabled or not is presentation logic.
Projecting a snapshot of business state onto a presentation is also presentation logic.
"Old school PHP application" style seldom made a distinction.
Also, you must add indirection (bad) to split things apart, and indirection doesn't necessarily pay its own rent. An example would be putting an ajax api request (a client's business concern) into a component where the <button> exists that triggers it. Collating that logic with the UI is nice until you want to reuse the logic, and it's usually cheap to extract it from a component, so you can often add indirection on an as-needed basis as you scale.
2. I started missing the magsafe's light the first time I thought my computer was charging but it wasn't (dead outlet before a long flight, so zero charge). Now I open my laptop every time I plug it in a new outlet to verify that it's charging.
Of course, I don't need a magsafe port to solve these, just a special USB-C cable, which is a better solution.
So the only remaining thing I liked about the magsafe was how shallow the port was, which made it easy to clean. Recently I somehow had a tiny pebble or something in one of my USB-C ports that rendered it unusable until I could get my hands on a pin to pry it out.
So, no, I don't think the issue is that they don't work in this case.
HN definitely does have a knee-jerk hate for them, and if you spend enough time here you'll see that a lot of it really is just "gah, young people." It's the new hate on txt-speak.
Reminds me of that Bill Burr joke where he compares "you ever try to get a six pack?" to "you ever try to get fat? of course not!"
My guess is that you don't have a six pack and you know exactly why staying trim is hard. But acting surprised let you plug your irrelevant lifestyle.
But if you're serious, then you must have a very hard time understanding people and the modern world if you live in such a bubble so opaque you can't even understand why people get fat. My first step would be to understand it, not trivialize it.
Surely all of the upsides of self-checkout have a higher weight than the machine beeping at you.
Also, they beep because your attention is spent rotating each product to let the scanner find the barcode, and you might not notice that it scanned otherwise, and accidental multiple scans cost the customer money.
You could level your hate at anything. "Great, mom. Now I'm stuck playing with this one corporation's toy instead of having the cash to buy whatever I want. Ugh, I hate it!"
It makes you sound ridiculous.
Also, how does blockchain help in its objective over any other solution beyond making the creator rich?
That HNers hate them provides a nice circle-jerk, but doesn't help you get the job.
Imagine how ridiculous discourse would be if we couldn't make a claim without enumerating every single possible exception, or if every claim had to be prefixed with "there are exceptions, but."
Absolutely insufferable. Almost wish there was an HN guideline "don't respond to someone's general claim by attacking a single exception" so we can respond to those comments with the same level of banality.
If so, then it's still "What JS users think of JS."
I'm sure glad we're advancing beyond the abstractions we have in, say, Cocoa development (which is evolving as well). Seems incredibly selfish to suggest that everyone is incompetent and nothing new is good because you don't want to have to learn new things.
Yet somehow HNers convince themselves that it's scathing sociotechnological criticism of an ecosystem because we tolerate it for some reason. Meanwhile everyone would roll their eyes if you suggested something like "ugh, Objective-C replaced by Swift is like watching Apple read old books."
At least you have pretty good wiggle room to use other solutions on the browser client, whether it's other languages (TypeScript, Elm), to completely new abstractions (React, Elm again, etc). For example, Elm or React are a fuck ton better than anything we have native on Android and iOS.
Look at other clients people development for like iOS. It's not easier. And any gains in ease of use are traded off because you're developing for a platform that not everyone uses.
Also, continuing with iOS, things like CoreData and the entire UI abstraction are super OOP and not very pleasant (especially the former). And it's nontrivial and a lot more warty to switch out abstractions (like using Rx) or use something other than Swift.
So that things are harder that you moved from backend to client development isn't a very scathing review of Javascript because client development isn't easy.
For example, if your wife has over a year of progress on the line, and there isn't a culture of mainstream trigger warnings, why did you play it so loose by wandering blindly into a movie?
And then you lash out at the world for when your gamble doesn't pay off?
I think this is what people roll their eyes at when they think of trigger warnings: the abolition of personal responsibility and effort, that you have any number of personal issues yet expect the world to read your mind instead of, say, watching a movie before your mentally diseased (your words) wife watches it to ensure her safety.
We're in this obnoxious age of confusing useful criticism with any reaction one can come up with on the fly, no matter how superficial. Like it's their destiny to weigh in on something as rapidly as they can, and as if they're doing some critical service for the universe.
The comment above exemplifies this when they say "what, we're supposed to pat them on the head and say attaboy?" No, the problem is that you think you need to fire off some undigested response at all. If you have nothing meaningful to say, then just say nothing. It's okay.
> The team concentrated on BPA-free baby bottles and water bottles, Bittner says, "and all of them released chemicals having estrogenic activity." Sometimes the BPA-free products had even more activity than products known to contain BPA.
That was just the top search engine result for "plastic leaching".
Not quite the "see, nothing to worry about" hill I would die on when one can just buy glass or metal vessels.
