However expressive or standard on other platforms, Make is not the correct tool for building web projects. Putting aside fundamental technical differences between Make and say, Webpack (of which there are many) there needs only one argument

I'm sticking with yarn for the time being I think. It feels years ahead of npm at the moment. Speed and robustness/correctness are much better, but stuff like `yarn upgrade-interactive` is also huge, also the workspaces feature.

Have they sorted out npm 5 yet? Bundling a borked version of npm with Node 8 was a real misstep I think.

I think it's debatable whether being contacted for information or asked to make changes to your open source project is "working for free". It's being asked to work on open source software, there's a difference.

The word is sexist. Would you give a technical article any time that started by the male author clearly indicating that they dismiss women's speech based on their gender?

My point is that you are drawing odd/bad conclusions from a misreading of the information contained in the letter. > You're thanking someone because they asked you to relicense your hard work so they can use it for free (BSD) a

Intel didn't ask him to work for free, read the letter again.

And yours must be one of those funny stereotypical HN jerk comments right?

Nowhere does it say that discussions with Intel in particular motivated the license change away from the GPL. Only discussions with unnamed corporations as long ago as 2000.

You seem to be having a problem understanding why people would be motivated to release genuinely free software. Open source can mean complete freedom, including the freedom to take the software, modify it, gain a competitive advantage and g

The value of a college education has been vastly inflated. People have associated a college education, often in nebulous useless subjects, with upwards social mobility but the truth is most should never have gone to college - i.e. side step

See my new comment just above about DRY. Just because CSS-in-JS lets you re-use styles doesn't mean you should. Re-using styles is often an anti-pattern in large component systems.

by Wintamute 9y ago
You're right. I think we're on the same page. I was trying to get across the idea that CSS and visual presentation is a special case, peculiarly unsuited to DRY. Often visual features are only superficially similar ... e.g. at a c

I don't think this guy gets it. In real life large web apps CSS is very coupled to behaviour and DOM structure. A large part of the advances towards _adaptable_ component-based code comes only when you let go of principles like DRY. Le

I'm mystified how any one finds these more readable. Form over function if you ask me.

I agree with this. It's a mistake to characterise this solely as Angular vs. React though. It's really about these things, - Declarative UI as a pure function of state - One way data flow - Frameworks that use plain language featu

Sorry, not buying it. You're drawing parallels between two wildly different demographics for cheap political point scoring, I find it rather distasteful given the subject matter. What similarities exist are tenuous and coincidental, an

As far as I can tell this lib is just animating props, so its up to you what you do with those changing props ... rendering to DOM or native shouldn't make a difference?

Thank you for the explanation. Makes sense!

I appreciate the gesture, but I'm not familiar enough with dialectical materialism to gain much insight. Have I undermined my own point somehow? In reflection I can see how a phrase like "the right side of history" is somewha
