I have recently started supporting a ban on targeted advertising. Dividing people into cultural bubbles and being able to spend unlimited dollars on it is dangerous if we are to maintain cultural unity and be able to agree on facts. Also, w

It's a real shit situation. The fact that we cannot agree on facts in politics is truly frightening and I cannot see an easy way out of it. Perhaps in 20-30 years we will see social media as something akin to smoking. Something super d

Those are excellent questions. But if your freedom of expression collapses itself, it won't survive anyway. The Nazi party got into power in Germany democratically. They used the privileges given to them to take those privileges from o

There are queues. If you have non-acute problems you might have to wait. Especially if you need a dentistry check up, you might get an appointment that's several months away. Though now with COVID the dentistry lines have become shorte

I'm not criticizing the team. I definitely couldn't have done a better job myself. Hindsight is 20/20, I'm just observing and trying to dissect what it's like to learn React from scratch in... 2020.

Sigh... I am not trying to say React is bad. I'm just saying that for some people it's hard to learn because there are so many different things packaged there that it looks like a framework. I love React, I'm just saying it&#

I didn't mean to say that React is bad, quite the opposite! It's a wonderful library and for good reason. But I've never used the OOP parts of it, because I like structuring my applications without a framework, customized to

I think part of the reason why React causes negative reaction towards perceived "Javascript fatigue" is that Facebook introduced too much at once. There's no reason why JSX had to be included at the same time with React. Ther
