I've learned ages ago that parseInt cannot be used like this, so it's not a problem for me, but I thought linters already take care of this case? Also I wasn't talking about using parseInt, a broken function like this so I&#x

Better a function that works in some cases than not having a function at all. Also, by using TypeScript definitions you pretty much always know what's coming in and going out and VS Code will yell at you if you're trying to do som

In addition to negative index support, a function is more easily composable e.g. converting a list of indices to a list of objects: `indices.map(myObjectArr.at)` I've lost count on how many times I've wrote this function manually.

You could replace nazis with any group of people with a specific message that they want to spam all day, every day and it would still be a horrible decision to let them roam free in every public forum. Whichever the group is, not ALL foru

Sure, nobody likes political correctness but without any controls on content on a public forum as a part of a ToS, nazis and other people who are desperate to express their hate, and even break the law and recruit others will eventually fin

Now that you mention pasting things into #django-dev, one thing that stuck with me was https://dpaste.com/ I think it was more closely branded as a "paste service for django community to use" than it is now, but I

As there's many threads relating to the controversy surrounding Freenode, I guess everything about it has been already said. It's sad to see it crash and burn this way. I have fond memories of freenode, and especially the #django-

Yeah, and digital camera manufacturers aren't adding megapixels for nothing and processor makers don't chase higher clock speeds for nothing, right? Because why would they keep adding pixels and increasing the clock frequency just

When the pixels are so dense, that using the monitor at its typical viewing distance makes pixels indistinguishable. But not just in the sense that you cannot see that your view is pixelated, rather in the sense that packing the pixels any

I don't know where this Apple dig is coming from. Most applications are just putting a bunch of strings into database and displaying strings from a database. This has always been the case with or without Apple, and it works the same wa

Then you serve the ads on the same set of elements that also contain critical content to the user. You can't block ads from Twitch / YouTube with a rule if the ads are baked into the stream itself. Same goes for any other kind of

The non-profit can still have rules in place on who is accepted as members and who isn't, as long as the rules don't break any laws (discrimination etc.). They also can have a mission statement and rules that are not up for vote.

I already told you what I did and several developers did before React to combat the same problems the React addressed, but somehow you seem to dismiss all of it. If you don't want to believe it, that's fine. I know what kind of co

If you judge technologies based on a single anecdote you've heard on the internet then I don't think this conversation serves any purpose. I don't know what bone you have to pick with any technology other than React, but achi

Well that's why said > React made a huge impact on web dev and deservingly so The VDOM was revolutionary, no question about it. The comment I was replying to didn't even mention it.

Then I stand corrected. :) Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough earlier.

It was novel because you couldn't refresh the whole DOM based on your application state without user experience suffering, before VDOM diffing came along.

One these problems usually: - application is in one state and the UI is in another state - jQuery operations mutating the DOM causing weird edge cases after several user interactions - the template language (handlebars, mustache etc.) was g

I suppose. It just feels weird that the post was highlighting hooks and context, while VDOM was omitted. VDOM was easily the biggest thing in my opinion. I had never seen anything like it and it worked wonderfully. It's not to say that

100% true. But I'm not even talking about academic really. There were plenty of people who didn't buy into the "MVC/jQuery/templates" thing, and we were writing apps into production for actual customers. I&#x27

As I said, the VDOM was novel. However, unidirectional data flow, lenses and FRP with RxJs all predate React. There was also Elm which was a full framework that was based on these concepts, and ClojureScript with its whole ecosystem that di

Svelte does reactive UI without a VDOM at all. Every DOM operation flows from declarative instructions based on the state of the application, without a need for VDOM or hooks. The compiler is quite mature and used by countless apps in produ

State and DOM being mutated all over the code base was the norm before React. In many apps, state was a thing that was spread out all over the code and could be mutated by any part of the code. And a DOM was another global state on top of t

Yes, yes and yes. All of these concepts are variations of what has been done before in a number of ways. Mostly by "FP academics" who "live in fantasy land", until everyone else starts using them too. Transpiling, hooks
