Best practises have changed dramatically in React since 2014 though. It’s easy to say “oh you don’t have to use hooks, you can keep using class components” but that’s not really true when the entire ecosystem is pivoting. My bigger problem

How could they not be? If people cannot emigrate to the US then they won’t settle there. A relatively open immigration policy absolutely helped make America diverse. I’m pretty sure that’s what OP is referring to, not DEI or whatever the la

I don’t know by what means foreign countries would intervene in the US. They’d just ignore whatever is requested of them. But it will increase US dependency on foreign countries in the long term. EVs are the future and if US manufacturers a

You’re comparing an extreme minority on one side to the mainstream view on the other. Democrats are not banning everything related to fossil fuels, nor do they disrupt public life. They have simply applied subsidies to encourage environment

Every now and then I sit and wonder how all this is going to be unraveled by the next administration. It's nonsense everywhere and you know they won't be tracking it properly. It's going to be an unfathomable mess.

I have long believed that LLMs will herald a new corporate data transfer format, unlike most new formats that boast efficiency gains and compression, this new format will be incredibly wasteful and bloat transmission sizes. I'll want t

I have some level of sympathy with Google here, which isn’t something I often say. I recently switched from Gmail to Fastmail and by and large I’m happy with it. But I’ve been surprised by the amount of spam and (particularly) phishing emai

I’d say that’s correlation, not causation. Just because past artists have struggled to make ends meet doesn’t mean it’s a requirement to make art.

I understand the point you’re making but I think there’s a real danger of that logic enabling the shrugging of shoulders in the face of immoral behavior. It’s notable that, no matter exactly where you draw the line on morality, different AI

I think this comparison isn’t quite correct. The downside with carpentry is that you only ever produce one of the thing you’re making. Factory woodwork can churn out multiple copies of the same thing in a way hand carpentry never can. There

It is unfortunate that things like this become politically impossible because older people are one of the most reliable voting groups out there. I will always be bitter that older voters chose Brexit by a large margin, in opposition to the
