I can't decide if that IIFE is the sign of a non-React dev trying to jam in concepts from other languages, or just done in bad faith to force a point.

It's all fun and games until they try to use lerna, when they discover it tries to determine packages that have changed since the last tag but says all packages are brand new, because all of their tags are now dangling somewhere after

Such a pointless popup. We enter personal information into websites every day. Want to prevent this from happening? Make it the home page for every browser.

What's often overlooked and omitted from this sort of guide is a person's ability to identify the trustworthiness and usefulness of a website that shows up in search results. It's not enough to juggle operands and search hack

Because Signal didn't block Iran? This is false equivalence.

Alright, I'll give you that one, but "Twitter should have never banned Donald Trump's account so he could continue to incite violence and instruct people to burn the country down" just doesn't vibe with me.

If that platform mentions in its TOS that "We hereby reserve the right to rescind your access to the platform if you talk shit about our corporate overlords or favorite political party", then I have no problem with it. This is not

There is a moderation team that deals with these. It's on the users' to report them. You can't expect moderation to catch 100%. GP is the one who is cherry-picking.

Just as you don't call this.componentDidUpdate in a loop. I'm reading through the comments and trying to figure out what mental model some have of React that causes them to just don't "get" hooks. I'm starting

As a secondary developer, this offensive to me. Now I'll have to work on a branch named after the main developer, reminding me every day that it's THEIR project and I'm just a code monkey.

There are many reasons to forego readability, especially when writing a library: performance, compatibility, requirements, interpreter/compiler optimizations or even cyclomatic complexity. In lodash's case it might even be all of

I've read through the whole order and there are dozens of mentions of restricting access and censoring, deleting, or "disappearing" of content. It sounds like Twitter is erasing or burying content when all they did was add a

I didn't think I'd ever see whataboutism or the word hoax in an executive order, but here we are.

My strategy for the past couple of years has been using RES [1] to browse /r/all, filter out everything I consider a waste of time (irrelevant, toxic, or just dumb) and subscribe to the few subreddits that caught my eye. This has

This is the part that completely lost me. Why do you need an additional context for each item? Isn't one context holding all items enough?

It's unusable without JavaScript enabled. Complexity is not inherently better. Less is more.

There is already an ongoing and massive automated astroturfing campaign using hundreds of faked local news websites (news|times|standard|reporter|record|today.com) run by Metric Media, Locality Labs, Record Inc. and possibly others [1]. Thi

In the same vein, let's say there are only 400k people online showing outrage at this. That's less than 0.01% of the world's population. Now weigh this ratio against the violation of human rights, police violence, ethnic clea

My experience is similar. The newly promoted CTO used a botched merge and delayed release to justify the move to a complex but half-assed monorepo branching strategy with minimal tooling and documentation, trashing any systems teams had in
