Anything can dispatch a hard coded action though. By that logic if I elect not to use the common action creator pattern (without thunk, i.e just standard action creators that return an action), does that make my React components action crea

They're not really comparable. You can engineer your way to Mars. You cannot engineer your way to a solution for addiction or violence; unless you want to launch a full-blown dystopian eugenics program.

'implementation' was probably the wrong choice of word there. 'design decisions' is probably better. I'm not sure we're working with the same definition of 'action creator' here, because redux-thunk c

Oh, absolutely. I wasn't trying to comment on the difference between the monolithic and modular approaches of Ember and React respectively. I think the monolithic approach actually solves the problem I'm describing to some extent,

Interesting. Is it a subtle effect? Maybe I just haven't noticed it before.

I remember doing this with f.lux back in the day. Unless they've removed it from the options?

This seems like a bug. I've been using f.lux for years across multiple home and work computers and never had a problem with YouTube videos.

This is a very good way to go. In my experience, adding a new tool can take a day or two of refactoring in a medium sized project; but removing one can take a week. Removing a bunch because you completely over-engineered the solution and ca

A comment by a flaired user in /r/AskHistorians is a very different thing to a "Reddit comment".

I don't have a lot of experience with a ton of different languages. But it seems bizarre to me that he lists Javascript as an example of a language that is restricted and unable to do various things. I have never once run into a proble

Another classic is installing one dependency with NPM and having it blow up because it's hit the 255 character limit for file paths on Windows due to nested dependencies.

I must be completely missing your point. React supports the vast majority of html elements. There's nothing I can think of about React that would encourage someone to misuse html, you're using the exact same tags you'd be usi

My guess would be that GA is an order of magnitude more dangerous than most routine dentist procedures like root canals or teeth extraction. Most people would rather suffer through the pain than add extra risk to the operation.

As in the profit generated isn't enough to sustain the electricity cost of running the GPUs? Are you able to scale up with more initial investment? How much did you invest and what kind of return on investment were you getting?

I'm really excited for this. I've been using pure flexbox layouts for a while now, but it still has one major problem, in that your HTML structure still contains layout and positioning information. Everything is either a column or

I remember when I was a kid X-Treme seemed impossible, I thought the developer put the difficulty in as a joke. Nowadays I load the game up once every few months and I tend to beat X-Treme first shot every time, unless I get unlucky with th

This is purely anecdotal, but I'm not so sure legalization would have a large effect on the rate of drug use. I consider myself fairly well insulated from drug use. In my entire social group I know of only one person that has ever trie

The top/bottom of the ballot thing is rubbish. Basically each senator is aligned with a political party, if a party has 2 or more candidates in the running for senator (I think?) then they get an "above the line" box. And if
