It isn't dead in any meaningful way. Every time there's an issue with a service (Musk writes something obnoxious, 2 day outage, rules change) people create accounts on competing services, but are back within a week because those p

Migration from Central Asia is certainly a topic in Russian discourse. Some talk about Uzbeks coming to replace them while "real" Russians die in a war, some extol the virtues of Tajiks who, unlike other lazy Russians, are willing

Studios don't have that many artists already - most of the "heavy lifting" is outsourced to asset production companies in China. I can see a future where these are replaced by AI and the main job of the in-house artists is to

This kind of rant, culminating in a hackneyed "created in a week" insult, usually comes from backend developers who jumped into frontend work thinking it was a silly little thing that could be mastered in under an hour, discovered

Taking out a tank requires a team of trained operators with multiple attack drones, reconnaissance drones (possibly deployed by a separate team), usually a minefield, and constant innovation to overcome electronic warfare and new types of i

It's not any less manipulated - there are just more parties doing psychological operations and not just established players. In the case of TikTok, China gets to pick and choose which operations are free to run, and likely picks the on

We can hope that Russian economy will be driven to collapse under the weight of military expenditure. Then we might see their elites sacrificing some talking heads to appease US and get sanctions lifted.

There are people who insist on writing JS (with types in JSDoc), but Svelte is the only such project I can name off the top of my head.

I use Discord daily and can't really call it slow and laggy, it feels adequate if anything. Can't really comment on Slack and Teams - I've obviously used both, but haven't been a heavy user of Teams and never was in a la

You're providing examples of "project that need a lot of it should be done in that language instead". What would these projects even gain from using nodejs on backend and packing most of their business code into extensions fo

Spaces in indentation feel like an artifact of bygone era when we didn't have proper tooling and had to do everything manually, one keystroke at a time. Personally I just hit TAB and commit whatever is in default config of autoformatte

On the contrary, it's time to move to JS for the UI of desktop applications as well. We've seen this approach become more and more popular with Electron over the last 10 years.

I don't think that compiled extensions are a good solution for any particular task. Projects that need some code outside of JS ecosystem can compile it to WASM, project that need a lot of it should be done in that language instead.

Have you considered using R3F for this project? Also curious, why did you implement a custom renderer pipeline?

This is just nuclear fearmongering, an important tool in the Russian political arsenal, but that's all it is. And the best proof of that is the fact that we are having this conversation right now. The Soviets didn't use nuclear we

It doesn't really matter how well Russian ICBMs can evade missile defenses. An actual all-out nuclear attack would be fatal for the EU, a response to that attack would be fatal for Russia. So all we really have here is posturing.

Deno's solution is coming out years later when JS is fast enough that there is no need to involve C++ for most applications.

Twitter/X changed the TOS so that it's now impossible to opt out of having your posts used to train their in-house model "Grok". This caused an exodus of artists (and their followers).

I'd suggest being much clearer in your branding and messaging. If you're making a strategy guide website, you should reflect that in your page title, logo, and domain name choice. Right now, it looks like you're trying to mas

There is a Tree Style Tab addon for Firefox, but it's nowhere near as polished as what's shown in the promo video. There's nothing like this in Chrome, since Chrome doesn't offer access to any browser UI elements beyond

"Trumpistan" sounds very dismissive, so I'd bet it was actually written by someone in 2021 who's still salty about the 2016 election results. Anyway, this feels very immature, I'd rather pass on this software altoge
