> We've been working on some updates that will allow Deno to easily import npm packages and make the vast majority of npm packages work in Deno within the next three months. This is really huge and will be a huge boost to the Deno e

perfectly reasonable to choose not to use react for that reason. CRA is also known to be very bloated. See Vite et al.

That's the general approach Deno has gone with. it's finding success.

Agreed. The guy just wanted to make something he felt was better. I've never seen a mission statement that said the goals were to replace Node. It's a separate beast.

Not really. Know your history first. Node split to io.js due to team disagreements and fragmentation. io.js made an immense amount of progress, adopted semver, and had all the momentum. At the time, Node was stagnant. The choice to merge wa

several folks in the threads here have posted references to the contrary. perhaps you have data which disagrees, or you may be operating on observations from your own circles.

Health care, logistics, law, finance, retail - there are a number of major industries that all still use Windows as primary. I have a good friend working in tech for Walmart, and another for a major hedge fund; both are Windows shops. It&#x

There's value to a system where everything is bolt-on as well.

Competition yields innovation and/or standardization. While it can also fragment, ultimately competition, even friendly or "alternative" varieties, in software usually ends up benefiting the ecosystem in the long run.

Svelte was a curious omission, given its excellent performance and simplicity. Edit: Ah, Svelte is supported, just omitted from the HN title: https://github.com/tauri-apps/tauri/blob/dev/tooling/cli&

"I don't need likes on Twitter" I sincerely hope this becomes a trend.

Disabling it on a repository is one of the first things I do. I tend not to like how noisy it is on Node project. Instead, I have scheduled tasks which audit periodically.

This sounds like a Software Architect role. Is that correct?

I see "systems design" tossed around a lot these days, and the phrase is taking on multiple meanings. What's the context here for this use?

In the Node realm; you can't beat undici + cheerio.

Being able to embed that in IE was just a total leap forward. Anyone who remembers the ambiguous "A JavaScript error occurred..." dialogs with zero helpful information will probably also remember the first time that Firebug gave

I enjoyed the color in the language, it was entertaining. But it definitely wasn't a scholarly article haha.

Had me right up until the last paragraph. One does not have to be a colonialist or carry bias to have misconceptions about the midevil period. Ignorance is a fine reason. I myself am a huge fan of history but mostly ignorant about that time

I have two Nest-E devices in the home and have not enabled Google login. If you can find the older versions of the thermostats, you can factory reset them, stick them on a guest network without internal access, and never use the Google logi

there's a loose correlation of concerns there, but "definitely"? More like "likely."

Ditto. Sometimes stuff reaches a point where it's mature or stable and doesn't need more development. Sometimes life gets in the way and years down the road someone stops in to pick up the torch. That's open source.

The old guard like Leo are still resisting the new truth backed by stats. As of Q2, mobile represented nearly 60% of web traffic [1]. You don't need to develop sites with mobile compatibility, but it'd be foolish not to. 1. https

As I stated; S10e. Not iPhone. It looks like you just reacted rather than reading, but to answer the question in earnest: no, we don't have to make sites work perfectly on every device. That doesn't preclude criticism, however. Mi

The mobile experience is so incredibly bad. Tried to add a markup to the site, brutal time trying to navigate it. Moved to a different tab and lost all my input. Image upload is capped at 5mb; which is under the average size my s10e takes b

what's wild is that several YC companies that have frequently-featured job posts on HN explicitly state they want 10x engineers. Kable is one: https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/kable/jobs/h3wKq6F-fou.

Kind of like 3D printing a badge with your name on it, gluing it to your car, and telling folks you built a car in an hour.

I had never heard of this very unique PNW problem until I became friends with people from PNW. Has anyone seen this phenomenon anywhere else?
