Looks really great. Why the React dependency though? Would be more flexible, faster, and avoid dependency hell if it was vanilla JS.

Seems like the biggest benefit to immutability is that it reduces the time spent dirty checking objects. So if you use getters/setters instead of dirty checking, immutability doesn't provide much benefit right?

Maybe we should get rid of weight classes for boxing, women's leagues for sports, and anything that acknowledges accomplishments for anyone that is not 100% objectively the best on the planet.

The problem is most people just criticise/tear-down instead of actually improving open-source projects (just read the Show HN section here...). Building open source projects requires a positive attitude and early stage comments can be

You shouldn't be making large grids for the web. Terrible practice. You should paginate.

Kind of like how React benchmarks like to create tables with hundreds of rows and dozens of columns to test against other frameworks?

Interesting to see how defensive people are on here about their favorite new toy. I didn't even find the article that harsh actually. Of course vanilla JS will outperform any toolkit. If you like React, use it for that reason, not caus

What's more frustrating are the people who are dogmatic and have the technically wrong solution. When things get done a certain way because everyone is just tired about fighting about it and the most stubborn person wins.

In other news, look how many continents can fit in the ocean. See how many moons can fit in the earth. Lots of smaller things can fit in larger things!

That article has too many flaws to go into, but the whole idea of all investments growing the economy are just false. Most of the investment dollars go to areas with little to no benefit. The (secondary) stock market, derivatives, commodity

There's no logical reason not to tax investors. They aren't unique butterflies that make the economy flourish. Investment is just one component of a functioning economy. So is education, saving, consumption, etc. Too much focus on

Lots of knit picking here. In plain English, confidence intervals are about your results being bogus. You flipped 100 coins, all of them came up heads, you conclude 100% of coin tosses come up heads. By chance, you got a very unlikely sampl

I think many of the "advantages" of ReactJS are just hype - Immutable data, one directional data flow are easier to learn, understand, harder to break etc. - This isn't anything new, these are just concepts taken from declara

Sure, any competent programmer could solve these under normal circumstances, but I've had a few interviews where I was kicking myself right afterwords for giving such stupid answers under pressure.
