I am from the EU, so tell me about it :) But yes, the sibling comment is right: this isn't something you can expand to other countries with the push of a button. Personally, for this specific functionality, I don't think the EU wo

As someone who also runs their own custom email domains, I agree it would be nice if I could manage those through Relay. That said, I'd still be giving out Relay addresses way more often, since those email addresses can't be link

Sorry about that. The form should only be shown for people in the USA, but detecting the country you're in can't be done perfectly. Which is a good reminder - we'll look into making the US-only part clearer. (I'm an engi

What are you supposed to do though? Surely stating that you don't want to talk to him or want a lawyer isn't likely to be deescalating?

What have years and years of criticising and pointing-at brought us, other than a couple of burnt-out devs? And is there anywhere where we can see that this elite leadership suddenly changed their minds on allowing this, rather than a devel

Heh I mean, I'm a frontend engineer too and agree with you that there's so much to be had in the frontend :) But I also understand that people have preferences and habits, and that there's a cost to investigating potential ot

Possibly, but it wouldn't be the first time that the first category of devs feel like they're the target of such comments. And it's a well-known phenomenon that negative comments outweigh ten positive ones. So from where I si

At least the devs can find some motivation in the fact that they'll get comments like these every time they do something good...

I don't understand half of the post, but claiming that they're doing this for "architectural purity" sounds ungenerous to me. The post lists a couple of tangible benefits, most of which do, I believe, relate to performan

I think this is just a case of you arguing from a different set of assumptions. The thread starter started out with a Django app and wanted to distinguish between frontend libraries' conceptual "heaviness" for adding bits of
917.
by Vinnl 3y ago
Exactly - "heavy" frontend frameworks are like adding another project. It's not that there aren't plenty of situations where that is perfectly fine, but if all you need to do is adding a few client-side effects, I'd

The challenge is that it's hard to see the value of good commits if you've never done a `git blame` or `git bisect`, but you can't really use those until you have good commits. A bit of a chicken and egg problem.

It's not so much that a single case affects state in both the frontend and the backend; it's that in some cases, you're going to have to reason about the lifecycle of your backend, whereas in others, it's the frontend li

Tour browser's (or at least Firefox's) devtools have an accessibility tab that allow you to simulate colour blindness. You can use that to play around until you find colours that work. (Fun game btw! I like how this completely cha

I imagine it's not so much about learning curve, but about the number of concepts to keep in mind while working on your code. If an application has lots of client-side state (and the framework to support that), for example, that means

If you click through to the source that Wikipedia is citing [1], you can see that it's counting 1st and 2nd generations, and are indeed categorised as "people with a migrant background" ("met migratieachtergrond").

I'm assuming that it's mostly "plofkraken", people placing explosions near ATMs to break them open and then run away with the money. They've been on the rise in recent years.

I think the question is: is it "the far right"? The far right hasn't really been in power yet. It's the "regular" right (VVD, CDA) that have governed on a "tough on crime" platform.

At least in the Netherlands the majority of immigrants are of Dutch and European descent, e.g. Polish, Romanian or Bulgarian seasonal workers. I am sceptical that those are devout Muslims and use the same immigration routes as e.g. Syrian r
