You think that's the only reason React took off? Have you ever tried to build a complex web application using only jQuery?
32.
by arrow7000 4y ago
No, but now I'm seeing it everywhere!
33.
by arrow7000 4y ago
No one is stopping you from going back to jQuery. But there's a reason the world moved on to React and others

Maybe an adversarial approach was used in training these models in the first place?

Isn't this exactly how GANs work already?

by arrow7000 4y ago
... no it doesn't

by arrow7000 4y ago
Any specific part of it?

You're right. Far better to have a tyranny of the minority instead.

It's also because having your SQL just be a plain string means you lose type safety and have to do a bunch of type casting on the results of your query, which may or may not be faithful to the DB's actual model

You still have to context switch between thinking about markup vs styling vs behaviour. The language you write the styling in barely makes a difference imo

"The rules are that I get to do what I want. you may disagree with that policy but that _is_ the rule." Just because it's now apparently official policy doesn't make it any less juvenile and mercurial

Based on the provided information I judge it more likely that their passion was maths and physics but were prevented from doing so because of certain economic realities than they had more interest in running a restaurant than engaging in re

I'm not sure what you're deriving satisfaction out of. That the market prevented someone from being able to earn a living and fulfilling their potential at the same time? I'm genuinely confused
45.
by arrow7000 4y ago
Contrary to what you may believe, the market has failure modes. Just because something is difficult to monetise doesn't mean that it's not valuable. Fundamental research is one such thing. It can open up vast realms of possibility
46.
by arrow7000 4y ago
Which one?
47.
by arrow7000 4y ago
Because the world would be better off having people of that calibre making progress on outstanding problems in maths than having one more mediocre restaurant in it

More than yours is

Ah yes that reliable way of proving a claim: quoting a rhyme

F# has this too (maybe had it first? I don't know) and it's wonderful. So does Elm.

Is there any reason to suspect that there is shit code at Twitter? Or that that is in any way related to the problems that Twitter has or the "problems" that Elon said he wanted to fix?

Is there any reason to suspect that Twitter's code will be of this terrible quality? If not, then again: what's the point of bringing random engineers in to take a look at code from an entirely unfamiliar domain?

This is the kind of cover letter that Patrick Bateman would send

Why wouldn't it just be $0 on average?

Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning disagree

by arrow7000 4y ago
How do you propose we get to such a language that is more than a superset of the status quo if CSS, the compilation target itself, is severely limited?
58.
by arrow7000 4y ago
No. If you have to write styling in JS I can guarantee that it will be far more brittle, less performant, and way more susceptible to FOUCs, reflows, jank, and potentially deadlocks of conflicting resizing elements than the equivalent in CS

Good for you. The rest of us will be using these new features to make great websites with far less wasted time and effort than before.

by arrow7000 4y ago
Is it really "needlessly" complex if this is enabling styling that wasn't possible before? Re your second point that CSS might become a compilation target for styling... have you never heard of Sass, Less, Tailwind, or any of
