This is an obviously politically motivated use of state violence, and I hope this case goes in her favor.

I am really happy that my macbook uses usb c. I'm sad to hear that it is going away. Today, my Mac interoperates with all my other devices, I can keep one charger running to the edge of the couch. It's not the end of the world to

Possibly. It's not just the loadouts though. Reticles and health bars need to animate at least 30 fps if not 60.

Main menu but also in game UI. Ability timers, weapon reticles, health bars, etc.

Yes, it was two Svelte apps. One for the menus and one for the in game ui/hud elements. Things like health bars, reticles, ability timers, etc. The interface between the game engine was designed to be as decoupled as possible. The UI c

Perhaps, I've only seen front end projects at FAANG and personal projects. That said, my front projects have at least an eslint config and usually a CI/CD deployment strategy if not full on tests.

Not 'his', 'their', but yes, I agree that the projects being done on the web are hugely complex these days and have a rich set of building, linting, releasing, testing, etc. tools.

Svelte and React would meet the criteria you described. So would Mithril. Give Svelte a try online, their tutorial page is pretty slick: https://svelte.dev/tutorial/basics

I'm not familiar with TS compile times, most of the engineers I know working on FE code use JS.

I think you have a fairly dated understanding of what front end is, it's scale, and the complexity of delivering an experience that's fast and well optimized. These days front end engineering can be every bit as rigorous and compl

I've worked in front end and backend systems. I've worked with extremely high scale web services at FAANG. I've made videogames, and done data processing pipelines. In general, I find that people will look at the domain ou

I've seen Svelte used in a number of high impact tools, including in AAA videogame UI. In my experience, I've seen engineers very happy working with it, and it meets the performance needs for a videogame it should be good enough f

I've used Lua professionally and for hobby projects, and it's near the bottom of my list for languages I'd reach for in any context. There's a significant mental lift for me to be productive in Lua, there are tons of wei

Is that true at extremely high temperatures? I would think that high temperatures are harder to store.

In many cases, yes. Totally agree with your example. Some cases maybe not? Some things are perhaps coincident with the politics of the thing. Whether manufacturing uses sweatshops or child labor, for instance. I'm not sure that's

First, thanks for meaningfully engaging. Second, I think my brain is hardwired to ask these questions. To me, it's a systems problem like an engineering problem. The difference between burritos and politics for me is that the questions

And that's fair, but it's also pretty easy to draw very, very short lines to things like "Who has access to the NFL?" (class politics), "What are players allowed to say?" (first amendment politics), "What

What is politics not already a part of? Art is inherently political. Sports certainly are political. Games? Definitely political. News? Writing? Software? Food? Dance? I cannot think of a thing that is free from politics.

You realize that the approach you suggest pushes out a different set of people, right? For example, a soldier with PTSD may want an environment that moderates content. Or a journalist with epilepsy may want a platform where people don'

That's what "means tested" means. Phasing it out by how much income you make. That's specifically the issue I have with this policy. We should be taking care of everyone, and everyone should be entitled to certain baseli

I thought NYC had an income tax and property taxes separate from state level taxes?
413.
by Pfhreak 6y ago
Why is it means tested? Just give it to everyone and simplify the process of distributing it. If you really want to not pay the rich, just raise taxes by a proportional amount. I don't understand the concern that somehow we should draw

You don't see a taxonomical difference between what Apple is doing and policies like redlining and Jim Crow laws? I'm happy to drive to why it is not, as you describe, nonsense if you are willing to have a critical and rational di

It is an academic and critical view, and not what a layperson understands racism to be. I'll acknowledge that. And it's also a viewpoint that is more commonly held by the political left. I'll grant that too. Describing it as

Note the OPs use of the word discrimination. Racism and Discrimination are different (but related) concepts. Discrimination is making choices that negatively impact a group based on some criteria. Racism is discrimination plus systemic powe

I'm a socialist, but I'm not a communist. I especially oppose planned economies and the idea of an autocratic workers party. Am I 'flirting with communism' because I believe in universal health care, free education, publ

Are you lumping socialists in with communists? Leftists? And which communists are you concerned about (e.g. council communism? Autocratic communists? Stalinists? Maoists?) Wheeling out 'communism' without qualifying who your bogey

A common saying is, "Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." The key idea in the second paragraph is that serious events might look silly or comical at first, but should not be ignored. Read about the Beer Hall
