I mean his post seems obviously wrong or ill chosen to support his point. Surely you can see that an inner implementation of the icon class requiring a special hidden order on which properties to set first can happen in any language and als

I've always hated it when people juggle me and when I notice that I'm getting played. "Normal" people seem to absorb this strategy subconsciously throughout their lives and train themselves to do it too because they noti

What I don't understand is why you don't just save your own id in memory on all those nodes? It's still not a virtual dom because there is no separate dom tree, you are still just walking the dom itself.

Sadly they don't mention that this will come to MySQL/vitess as well, it makes it look like Postgres is thing they care about now as a company.

At this point a whole bunch of crypto exchanges including chinese ones have my driver's license, passport and more. It is what it is, any real KYC process will require video identification anyway.

Yes arbitrary tension is one of the most infuriating things that some agile people and bosses do. It's like they treat you as an unthinking machine that merely needs to constantly be prodded and poked to perform. Of course if you have

React DX is probably the worst DX of all frontend frameworks I've ever seen. All kinds of confusing concepts (hooks, memo, props passing, class style vs function style, an entire new "language" like JSX which you then first n

A few years ago it didn't work in all cases when npm did. It made me stop using it because I didn't want to constantly check with two tools. The speed boost is nice but I don't need to npm install that often.

It means that Microsoft used to be a software company and it is now supposed to become a software factory company, meaning that it produces factories (=agents) that produce software. That seems like a good goal to have for them.

The divergent views need to be backed by real reasoning, otherwise it's a case of giving value to an opinion just because it's different, not because it has actual value. I'll give you an example, I'd very likely get the

This is a great example of what I'm talking about in regards to humans vs AI. First you misunderstand my comment, barely even responding to it, then you paint me as defensive even though I've been very open and the absolute opposi

AI is also real to me. My emotions around AI are also real, I deeply appreciate when the AI helps me figure something out or talks to me. I think this type of response will get rarer as AI develops further and people realize that there is n

Real humans are also fake and they are also traps who are waiting to catch you when you say something they don't like. Then they also use every word and piece of information as ammunition against you, ironically sort of similar to the

what do you mean by "visual parsing like Playwright"? I'm pretty sure Playwright queries the DOM via js, there isn't inherently any visual parsing. Do you just mean that mcp-b has dedicated js APIs for each website? Your
