It's nice that he found some classes that were relevant to his work. I could really only think of one - Algorithms/Data structures (because it taught me about complexity). Everything else were either irrelevant, or could (and has)

No one is saying that decentralized compute platforms are a problem. Torrents, IPFS, seti.home etc... were quite popular. It's blockchain that is the problem. It is the inherent massive massive waste and inefficiencies in that technolo

I haven't used SolidJS, so I can't comment much. But Signals have very good developer ergonomics. But from my experience other frameworks that use them come with drawbacks that I don't get with react. So MobX+React works bett

The way I look at it - the majority of value with blogs and static website is content. Hence the majority of change is of content. For apps the majority of value is functionality and that's where a lot of changes happen. The main probl

Sorry. The biggest problem is that useEffect's mental model is based on data change and not on events. So instead of "do something when this action/event happens" we get "do something when this data changes". W

I might not as well say that. I in fact said something completely opposite - that users don't care about performance. Hence more features->more users.

And I never click on Ads. Yet they work and drive a lot of traffic and money to sites. (Even after all the fraud) Products almost never compete on performance, and the biggest, most popular ones are almost always the slower ones. Regardless

>Weird. useEffect is like the archetypal hook. The problem it purportedly solves was one of the main arguments they made for hooks existing in the first place -- https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-intro.html#motivation .

Performance of frameworks is often irrelevant for products/applications. 1. Performance is very very rarely a contributor to a product success. Users prefer more features over more performant app all the time (both directly when asked

I'm still a React guy. I've also worked with Angular and Vue and toyed with Svelte. People tend to compare these frameworks on things that don't matter - often it's performance. We used to compare React performance to An

Because the Akami brand is known to executives, and those are the people buying the product? Linode is a good service among a lot of equally good competitors (digitalOcean, ec2/lightsail, ovh, hetzner, vulter) in the space, but it&#x27

A response from substack. https://mobile.twitter.com/cjgbest/status/160237030788431872... Seems like this is a bit of a clickbait. The theme is made by the substack user, substack is only using a single library fr

I stopped giving money to wikipedia a few years back. It seemed that as their endownment continued to grow their pleading became more desperate. This rubs me the wrong way. I want my money to go to wikipedia, with the amount of money they n

Flutter is basically a custom rendering engine with massive effort to create pixel perfect compatability with native offerings. If google drops the ball on it, I doubt there is any company that can take on maintaining something like that. I

Everyone seems to be very excited about this framework, and while it looks very impressive, I don't inderstand the impetus for it. Why do I need the terminal to become an interactive visual app? Why not use the tools that are designed

It's a turn of phrase. I know how NFTs work, I know how people use them, I don't think it's useful for the things people use it for and I don't know what it might be useful for, though I don't reject the idea it mig

Donations, swags and limited editions existed before NFTs, they did not suddenly get studios to create content under the public domain. NFTs are not a new economic model. I'm not sure what they are, but they definitely don't solve

I find it hard to believe that someone would mistake the comment as not sarcastic if they read the second paragraph. So if people comment based only on the first paragraph, would they even get to the /s in the end ?

I love C# and working with it is often a great fit for a lot of use case, and most of those points are valid. But point #5 - "Myth 5: .NET Isn’t Open Source Friendly" is unfortunately still not good enough. It's not enough th
