I think code-generation is a red herring. I'm more interested in things like: - Explanation/research ("how does this work?") - Code analysis ("tell me if you think you see any bugs, refactoring suggestions, etc in t

Yeah, the organizational issue is my guess too. Though I'm still amazed Teams managed to spiral down that path so quickly

They also transitioned from Angular to React, which is not a natural transition, so it probably was nearly a rewrite

Oh this is great, thanks for sharing!

That's part of it, but also, they just published a whole marketing video to advertise a performance improvement

Maybe. I have more experience on the UI side, so my intuition may be off here, but I still have trouble believing that these kinds of basic slicing-and-dicing-records problems aren't solved already. Especially when we're talking s

Teams is one of Microsoft's headlining apps right now, and it's been such a PR nightmare that they're explicitly advertising a major performance improvement, complete with a slick video (when was the last time you saw an ever

I'd be so curious to get a window into the profiling, back-room discussions, etc. that happens at orgs like Slack and Teams. What's going on here? What all did Teams just improve? What are the barriers they're still running i

In some situations, though in this one I think they're actually totally independent But ofc in a real scenario where this matters you'd only want to optimize based on what a profiler says

With "zero interest and no fees", what happens in these products if somebody falls behind, or even just decides not to pay?

This is almost a great demonstration of how refactoring code into pure functions can help with robustness and maintainability To get all the way there you need a couple tweaks: function update(time: number, random: number): { left: nu

The post is about how the languages serve different purposes, and he just happens to be working on a project now that he believes benefits more from Zig. Nowhere does he make broad-strokes statements about Rust's (or Zig's) fate

IDEs close the gap a lot on type inference. Being able to hover a symbol and see the inferred type without mentally inferring it yourself is important

I'm gonna politely disagree and say, I don't think "spooky action at a distance" is very scary when it happens at build-time Much of my background is in TypeScript, which encourages mixing and matching explicit and impli

Weird. Some louder/sharper sounds definitely get through, but in my experience it's a very small amount. I can sit in a coffee shop and they'll block out people talking unless someone's sitting right next to me and being

Noise-cancelling headphones have been a game changer for me. I specifically love my AirPods Pro, because beyond the apple integration, I can have them with me in my pocket at all times. Distressing or even mildly unpleasant noise? I can alw

Yeah. I think many or most large established codebases/software stacks could be an order of magnitude or two simpler (making them an order of magnitude or two easier to iterate on, in terms of both time and number of devs needed) But t

I think AI pentesting is going to be huge really soon (both offensively and defensively)

You don't need a subscription to track and view your data (I've got an apple watch and no subscription). I think all the subscription gets you are the training courses (videos, but also live events and stuff)

And then at some point you have to weigh the carbon cost of transporting the extra mass vs the impact of the plastic itself (I'm not making this up, it's a thing that came up when some cities started requiring the thicker, more du

by brundolf 4y ago
100%. Effects are an escape-hatch, and it's really common for people not to treat them that way. All of the new docs are gold, but if I could only pick one to recommend that every React developer read, it would be this one

Fair, although even on a sliding-scale I think trust mechanisms are less-inaccurate when it comes to a single person (who can change, but usually in gradual/limited ways) vs a company (which is a revolving door of thousands of people w

Public companies aren't people. It doesn't make sense to trust them, but it also doesn't make sense to hold a grudge against them. They act in a way that fits the moment. Right now, Microsoft seems to be in a "build good

This is about them distributing the engine itself on the store (and apparently even contributing to it), not just allowing games made with the engine on the store. Presumably you could already do that

I tend to disagree, Godot's been putting out some really impressive graphics improvements lately. But it's possible Epic agrees with you
