If you don’t factor quality of code/architecture in there, then yes. But that would be folly long term.

Only because as people get experience they end up in the “Engineering Manager” role & such. Plus there’s a GLUT of fresh grads joining each year.

That implies he can recognize hubris. So far that’s not been a theme.

It’s not broken. That’s the thing. But there sure is s coordinated push of badly written articles spreading FUD about it...

I was a student at that time. Common, yes, specifically with tech course students (like myself) but mainstream? No. I had to explain it to several others students in 2001. That is not “was mainstream in the late 90s”. That’s “was breaking

I lived that era and that’s nonsense. It was popular amongst tech savvy people, with decent connections, and younger (<25yr old) ones at that. Hell CD burners were not even that mainstream around then (remember how big of a deal it was t

Because the implied point is about it being mainstream . Which what you’re describing explicitly isn’t.

It’s also not zero sum though. There doesn’t have to be just one successful company standing.

These points are pretty naive, plus they solve very little other than possibly saving some disk space. It honestly reads more like a classic case of “My very narrow use case is the general case”. A common mistake.

If you haven’t run into this I submit you don’t use google much. It’s infuriating

I hear this a lot but I keep seeing more and more Ruby devs moving to it trivially and as someone who reads-not-writes Ruby code I find it just as trivial to grok it. So I think the differences are there but they’re being overstated from a

Interesting! I’m surprised you didn’t move to Elixir given the syntax similarities to Ruby

Ruby infected webdev with this awfulness.

Does the type/quality of yeast make a difference? Maybe I just need to buy better yeast...

Well no. Definitionally you can’t be progressive AND be advocating for the status quo. They’re in opposition to each other.

Most of the rest of the developed world is to the left of SF. Especially Europe.

The sad thing about the Walmart usecase is all they really mean is hashing. Just hashing. That’s it.

Web Spiders have been around since ‘94 and the spider terminology for mapping networks is even older so they’d likely get it.

Doing the top 3-5 should be trivial though. Some just have those oddball tlds (ie, bloc.kcha.in or whatever) and nothing else

A day seems long? I’ve not noticed any appreciable difference past 3 hours. Curious as to why you leave it this long...

NIMBY’s are not Progressive. They’re practically the definition of Conservative. There’s just this wildly mistaken belief that CA (and SF in particular) is populated by ultra-left people. The Bay is centrist at best .

“Specific SF restaurants are too cheap to pay proper wages to their staff” would be a more correct title. This is not a general problem in SF.

There’s a LOT more to it that that. Part of why you DO see them is policing and treatment of the homeless population has been (until recently, anyhow) much more progressive & humane. ”Out of sight, out of mind” is not good policy.

> Right, they're not here yet, so you don't know. And neither does anyone posting dumb links to Reddit posts about them or mentioning them like they’re a solution . Because they aren’t. They might be, but they aren’t yet. Ye

Yes, I’m very familiar with host bindings. Are they here yet? No. Are they performant yet? No idea because they don’t exist . They’re always brought up by WASM advocates like they solve anything. But they don’t... because the problem isn’

by abritinthebay 8y ago
Right, but the core reason they’re doing it that way is that it is a hard problem to solve practically speaking (rather than theoretically) without tanking perf. Which it will anyway so WASM devs will end up having to be just as careful

by abritinthebay 8y ago
WASM solves a set of problems orthogonal to most JS use though. It doesn’t touch the DOM and there’s a VERY good reason for that. To which most advocates end up saying that’s because the DOM is bad and should be scrapped. Maybe, but now we

I always characterize it as “the problem with web development is that it doesn’t work how my favorite language works and UI is easy anyhow, lol” ... and, while that is a slightly unfair characterization, I’ve seen many arguments that can

Of course it’s rare because it’s unreliable and buggy as shit across browsers atm (tho a lot better than it was). So... somewhat self-fulfilling
