You don't need javascript at all to render. Oh for a version of the WWW that never allowed javascript at all.... money destroys absolutely everything it touches.

Ah, I stand corrected. I have more recent examples but I struggle to recall them. Map and Set were certainly the two largest absences I remember.

Javascript doesn't have a good enough standard library to execute on this. You need frameworks just to patch up the runtime (or otherwise avoid the holes). Last time I checked they didn't even have decent hashmap or set implementa

I see angular postings still. I can't claim I've touched frontend in a half decade, though.

Why does FE development have such churn? Desktop toolkits from 30 years ago work just as performantly today; what is so difficult about the browser that demands constant framework updates?

Huh! I just spent an hour diving in and I see now. Crazy giving up that much control of your product to a third party. I can definitely see the appeal to spike realtime/chat projects, though—they really leaned into that api design well

Hmm, maybe you are referring to something specific with "workflow". I'm envision a visual graph with a ui for each node and connection, or maybe a makefile on the other end of the spectrum. What are you envisioning? Anyway, L

Sure, but most comments on the internet (very much including this forum) offer zero or negative "value" to the reader. What we're doing now is typically called "socializing and discussing topics of the day", which i

It sounds like reading from a script, or like an influencer. In that sense it's quite good: i could buy this is human. However it's not a very good reading of the script, in human terms. It feels even more forced and phony than

Bro, come on. Apple hasn't even tried to pretend they're in the server game for at least a decade now. You're paying for dozens of features you'll never use. They don't even have drivers for their own hardware outsi

Tbh, if I could go to a conference that guaranteed all signs of passion and interest would be banned, it would be depressing.... but far more useful. Passion is something best saved for happy hour. The best advice I've received is not

Who on earth would downvote this comment? If I could choose a social media with no downvoting, I would. It always starts with good intentions and ends up with "this comment pisses me off and rather than reply I'm going to pretend

I'm assuming Biden was actively lobbied by many, many interests to stomp on the railway worker strike a couple years ago. Do you think there's any weight to that?

This reads like someone who knew they'd never have to work a day in their life. At least they had the spine to admit it.

Both of these tools hit the sweet spot starting out—good performance for cheap (not entirely true if you consider the free tier of sql services, but I've had bad experiences with those). It's the lock-in and traffic that kills y

The entire concept of being nonpartisan strikes me as dumb. If you want an effective government, that is. The parties are far more similar than they are different. Partisan claims are therefore a) trivial and largely meaningless, b) obvious

Probably for domestic protection more than face value. Western licenses certainly have similar clauses to protect against liability for sanction violations. It's not like they can actually do much to prevent the EU from gaining from it

I believe this was precluded by the hedging of people who could follow the article. I have a difficult time imagining a person who can both understand how current LLMs work and still buy into Kurzweil. Pursue the hypothesis? Sure. But belie

Ok but why would anyone care if they aren't calling for a shutdown of growth-of-function research? There's nothing essentially qualitatively different about China that make them more evil or less competent. Hence the comment about

by ForTheKidz 2y ago
Belief is generally not insightful or useful by definition. Then again, I don't think anyone who can follow this article believed that LLMs were conscious to begin with, so I'm not sure what your point is. You're preaching on

Unless the take was "china invented the virus" (which is trivially and googleably false) I don't see how anyone in the west would care given that the we engage in the same (edit: actually, much more reckless and misanthropic)

I see your point, but also consider that interactivity comes to mind in part because 3d models are so expensive to describe compared to 2d shapes that they're largely worth it for interactive stuff. We might see more innovation on that

Wait, firebase allows full access to http connections accessible from a browser ? Wtf? Why would you want to give the user direct access to a database to begin with? Is firebase built around the idea of not running your own servers or some

I think a far more enviable thing is that by default the file IS the response body. You can punt on explaining basically the entire web stack until later. You can teach interactive server AND client-side programming without having to explai

Oh wow, that's very impressive documentation. We might actually see an opportunity to move beyond linux and closed drivers in this lifetime.
