IIRC at my last employer an Asana tab + Slack ate ~1.5GB all on their own, and Asana was so slow to load that one hated to close it. Jira's not as bad as Asana but depending on the set-up it can be pretty close. Then there's Invis

1) Crap standard library and core language, with lots of accidental complexity. These problems are fixed or (more often) swept under the rug many times over by library authors over the course of years, then eventually the core language&#x2F

The actual act of writing code, maybe, but: 1) 4GB—let alone 1GB—is already cramped with just Slack and any one of your usual bloated shitware issue trackers/wanky PM toyboxes (Jira, Asana) open in a tab or two, plus the usual few tabs

To back you up, I can confirm that people who spend their time thinking a lot about this stuff (political scientists and those in related fields) spend zero time quibbling over the use of the term "democracy" as it's commonly

I'm not a long-time Beatles fan, but I've been going through a bunch of major popular music albums from the 50s on up in chronological order over the last few months, and gave IIRC seven Beatles albums at least one pretty close li

I had to add "food ordering" to "ritual" to get DDG or Google to tell me what you might be talking about. The landing page doesn't explain what it does, at all, above the fold. "Make friends with food" is

I'm increasingly convinced the worst health effects of tech are mostly about sleep, with any secondary effects being negligible by comparison. I'd challenge anyone who thinks they "just can't" sleep on a normal sche

War Zone Taxi Driver (GTA: San Andreas with cheat codes "everyone has guns" and "everyone's hostile to everyone" applied, and me in a taxi running missions) is a really, really good game. I'd absolutely buy and

Holy crap, have we worked on some of the same projects? GraphDB inappropriately applied to a process definition/exploration application. In my case I'm pretty sure the correct solution taking into account all desired functionality

I entirely share your "ew, gross, no" re: mixins generally. That their being added to React in the first place is part of this history is definitely interesting. Thing is, I don't even consider Hooks not OO . They're ju

It's not a global object—it's an instance of the object for the component you're using. The whole thing's a terrible OOP system in a language that already has a built-in mediocre OOP system, which terrible OOP system is,

Hell, I can barely "hello world" in languages I've been actively and productively writing for months or even years, without context (i.e. existing code) to draw on and/or tool assistance. I've got a better than 50%

To respond to the implied dig, I've spent months to years using the following distros on desktops and laptops, in no particular order: Gentoo, Red Hat, Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian, Mandrake So I've had plenty of exposure to three major
