I would disagree. One of my biggest revelations and improvements to my programming from reading SICP was the concept that as soon as you start to declare functions you are starting to create an abstraction over hte host language and as a r

React is easy to use without understanding the component lifecycle. The penalty is poor performamce rather than a non-functional app. You saw the same thing in the before times with Adobe Flex. So much code from people who had no understand

Sweeny doesn't understand how Twitter works. Blue Checkmarks are not the product! Tweets by people other people want to read are thr product! Twitter managed to convince hundreds, thousands of incredibly famous and notable people to pr

Only someone who is an idiot who doesn't understand how Twitter works thinks it was a status symbol. Elon Musk thought it was a status symbol. See my first sentence. Its purpose was to let tweet readers know they were reading a verifie

They were excluded so people wouldn't use them to insert meta-processing instructions into the JSON doc. In reality people insert those meta-processing instructions in other ways.

Everything was being positioned as a Flash killer. It was so all pervasive you didn't have to explicitly say it. HTML5 was flash killer. The way the Javascript standard developed was a Flash killer. Everything was aiming to kill Flash

See the stack overflow answer in my sibling comment - there's a bunch of reasons. One is that the Z80 has a bunch more registers than the 6502, another is that the famed fractional cycle times of the 6502 compared to the z80 are based

This gets repeated a lot by C64 fan boys and yet solid fill 3d games were playable on the Spectrum and not on the C64 because the C64 processor was dog slow. Weird. It's almost like people have taken an extreme edge case example and tr

The level of cope from C64 owners in this thread is particularly high.

The AVM was not resource hungry. It was the bad SWFs that ran on it which were resource hungry. Guess what? It is now bad Javascript code that is resource hungry.

CPI in 1947 = 21 CPI in 1972 = 42 25 years to double. CPI in 1980 = 84 18 years to double CPI in 1999 = 168 19 years to double 24 years later is still hasn't doubled again. It's hardly a runaway freight train compared to pre 1971

10 years. That's the risk. Locking up your money for 10 years is a huge risk. SVBs risk department told the business that slapping the money in 10 year bonds was wrong and that they should put it in short dated bills but the exec tea

Tye easy path was benign in Flash! Flash produced elegant, compact output if you executes the basics. The "problem" was that you could fuck up your SWF to incredible degrees and still get something that worked.

The same devs who write that restaurant website produce the same horrifically inefficient code in Javascript now. Flash wasn't the problem.

Because you have to write more code. If all you have is a single variable that gets updated with no complex logic then writing a reducer seems excessively boilerplatey.

Apparently there is literally a 5 second pause on load in the javascript.

There has not been a single famine since the beginning of the 20th century that was not man-made (i.e. due to either people in power preventing aid reaching those who needed it or by people in power stripping people of their food). GMO crop

Confusing consumers about whether they are buying from Amazon or the market place of 3rd party tat is a core Amazon business line though.

Bizarre. A long reply chain has disappeared from under my comment. It mostly consisted of me pointing out the salary bands for Junior doctors and the person I was replying too angrily denying reality and substituting in their own.

by Marazan 4y ago
I know how to read the NHS webpages that list the salary bands of 1st and 2nd year junior doctors. Which you seem to be just ignoring. You talk about senior consultant wages and imply junior doctors are on similar wages when, in reality, t

How much do you think junior doctors are paid?

Variable rate plus prepayment penalty is basically criminal and you wouldn't find that in the UK. You would have a variable rate with no repayment fee or a short fixed rate (max of 10 years) with a repayment fee.

The main problem with a lot of studies of oral hygiene is that peoples oral hygiene technique is often really bad/variable. Like, people who floss often floss with poor technique so it is hard to study the benefits of flossing vs not

Shuffling an array is surprisingly easy to screw up because the "easy obvious" way (for each index in array swap with a random index in the array) doesn't work but superficially will look like it does.
