It seems to me that if Rogan hadn’t ever had Alex Jones on then the author would be a genuine fan. But because he has had Jones on more than once, that undoes any redeemable qualities he might see in Rogan. Which is kind-of ironic because t

Not to mention; while pretty wordy, XSLT was incredibly powerful.

What, if any, modern products still use the 6502? EDIT: That’s not a dig against the 6502. I still fondly remember leaning BASIC in my C64 and wish now I had ventured into Assembly with it. By today’s standards it seems to have a simpler an

I've used every one of the frameworks that I mentioned with the exception of Svelte, and am surrounded by framework users. Not a single one has ever made that argument. It's always, "Look at this new shiny framework, we mus

Still, seriously? 30MB to print "Hello, World"? I can drive a Hummer H3 the block away to the 7-11 but wouldn't it be better if I at least try to ride my bike up there whenever possible?

This is literally the first time anyone has ever put together a cogent argument for why the framework du jour exists. Thank you! I still personally feel like I can usually get more done with pure Javascript but, as I said in my original po

"Another nice thing: the node_modules folder for this Hello World Svelte app totals only 29MB and 242 packages." How is it nice that you have almost 30MB of code for something that prints "Hello World"? EDIT: For what it

This looks nice. I'm not a framework guy (more on that in a second) but they at least seem to be heading in the direction of letting me get work done without forcing me to do it their way. That said; first it was Backbone which wasn&#

Linden Lab had (still has?) a similar system called “The Love Machine”. Instead of noting what you did, your peers would recognize you by “sending love”. There were several ways to do that. One was through IRC where everyone would hang out

Maybe we need to start digging. I wonder if living and working mostly underground (not, like, hundreds of feet but rather just beneath the surface) wouldn’t help keep us physically cool naturally and cheaply but also help reduce emissions a

How did you go about picking those 220 people? Did you put together user personas based on who your ideal customer is? What questions did you ask these people? For example; you can't say, "How much would you pay for this?"

I press Esc multiple times. I don’t need to anymore, I know. But when I was first learned Vi/Vim 25 years ago I sometimes did and it stuck. I also “:w” multiple times for the same reason. Better safe than sorry I guess. I also use “hjk

Of all the complaints I've ever heard of around Electron, "purity" has never been one of them. Bloat and resource consumption are usually the biggest culprits.

You can also do :! ls -a to execute a shell command and see the results from within Vim.

Oh yeah. I can still hear some songs in my head that always seemed to be playing when the batteries started dying. It’s almost as if the proper speed of those songs is incorrect.

And like the white iPod ear buds that came twenty years later, those orange foam headphones were a status symbol. Simply walking around with them hanging around your neck made you cool e.g.; Marty McFly at the beginning of Back To The Futu

The biggest problem I’ve found with Agile hasn’t necessarily been Agile itself but the lack of buy-in from company leadership. Even when we’ve had professional Agile trainers come in and tell them that not only must they embrace it for us t

I feel like many people here are misreading the OP as anti-framework and I didn’t read it that way at all. Sure, there is an element of, “you don’t need to immediately grab the nearest framework as the solution to _every_ problem”, and that

Cameo is a competitor to a project I worked on that just launched called Givvli - https://givvli.com These platforms could be particularly fruitful for musicians and YouTube stars. It's a fascinating space to watch.

You're right, and I stand corrected. I mistakenly thought their quote was "Don't do evil" when it was "Don't be evil"[1]. Still... I'll take the downvote because I was wrong, but your clarifying com

I’ve been hesitant to agree with calls in the past to break Google up, but now it’s time. This is Google choosing what’s best for their investors over what’s right for the community. This is Google doing evil.
