Presumably written by a person who wasn't a web developer back then or were developing solely for Internet Explorer.

I'm not claiming otherwise. I'm just saying that saving some hundreds of millions of dollars on compute is what Rust as a language can enable.

No one cares? I am confident someone got a promotion out of AI automating that. It is the metric being tracked in performance reviews. What is not tracked is how the readers experience it, so no point in putting effort into that. Bottom lin

Google invented PWAs and broke their back trying to make them a thing. I'm not a fan of Google but credit where credit is due. They were also highly incentivized to develop the APIs that make it all work as Chromebooks are basically ho

Doesn't sound like AGI without physical capabilities. It's not general if it's bound to digital work.

Aggregated metrics are always useless as they tend to show interesting and sometimes exciting data that in actuality contains zero insight. I'm always weary of people making decisions based on aggregate metrics. Would be nice to know t

When it comes to Teams, unfortunately we do. It's actually used across Microsoft in general. A company of this size requires Teams even if just for the sake of keeping up with security and compliance.

Teams is used in the Teams org that develops it in Microsoft yes. Source: I work on Teams free/consumer. Not to say that the developers working on it are satisfied with it..

Perhaps the amount of JavaScript used in a website is not a contributing factor into how usable a person finds it /s. Honestly, you don't judge a back-end by how much code it's built with or what platform it's hosted on.

Plain Android has work profiles that will allow the user to enable/disable a "work profile" at will. This is what I use because we have on-call duties and on most weeks I don't need to be available on my work accounts.

Accuracy varies wildly with each model. Obviously the more expensive ($400+) ones are better, but Garmin devices are generally good with heart rate tracking. Same for Apple watch, Pixel watch, and a few cheaper options from Huawei and Xiaom

I wouldn't be able to say without knowing the project, but just following the simple rule of not calling impure functions from pure functions will force your codebase in a state where all impure functions bubble up to the top layer of

All of them have both global and component-scope styles. Not having that flexibility would make a UI framework not viable for modern web dev. Just like with any code, you want to scope as much as possible, but an escape hatch is essential t

Even though your first instinct might be to immediately pull away when people talk about SPAs, remember that this discussion is about how using a SPA feels vs a server-rendered app that refreshes on every user action. It's not a discus

Pure functional isn't too difficult once you understand how to put everything that causes side effects on the side. You can write a domain layer in a purely functional manner and feed it data from non-pure sources. It's definitely

I mean vested stock doesn't necessarily need to go up in value. In some places the stock comp is higher than the actual pay, so even if you sell on the day of vesting you're doubling your income. So the investment viability of sto

I'm an Avalonia UI user myself, but didn't want to mention it since Microsoft themselves have done nothing to contribute to its existence. The UI rendering for Avalonia on Linux is not a Microsoft technology so I think that praise

It supports Linux as a running target for console apps, which can be servers, background apps, systemd apps, etc. So everything except UI apps. The development experience with Rider is also great on Linux. I think you need to be more specif
