RN uses native controls (not a webview) and JS is plenty fast for most UI logic (it's almost never the bottleneck on slow web apps), so I would not expect performance to be a problem here
812.
by brundolf 4y ago
Anecdotally we've got a RN app, and we've only got one or two native source files for each platform, which are mostly there to bridge in third-party libraries for things like analytics. Our UI and business logic are almost 100% JS

I think this is wishful thinking. People's preferences aren't going to change overnight (I don't see a reason this one would change at all), and manufacturers are already making a tough sell with EVs themselves, so they&#x2

I think it's more that technologists tend to underestimate the social factors, edge cases, general "stickiness" of this stuff. We see the destination and think "ah, well the technical problems have been solved, we can al

This has been my gut feeling about the new AI technologies we've seen recently. We'll see what happens

I think cases like this are super rare compared to the harmful cases, so it would still be a net gain for society Also- most of the reasonable cases for noncompetes are already covered by trade secret/NDA stuff

To add another simple setup, I've been trying out: - Static front-end hosted on render.com - Back-end web service on render.com - Postgres on (you guessed it) render.com Each is an easy-to-manage item on the dashboard. They can each be

Everybody shouldn't pull in their favorite stack just for fun, but it seems valuable to have the option of trying out new things that could turn out to be a better way forward for the org

+1, since I discovered and embraced "format on save" in my editor I've been able to stop thinking about indentation almost completely

One other thing they give you at a large organization is flexibility in your stack If a team wants to try out a different language, or hosting model, or even just framework/tooling, those things can be really hard to do within the same

I can't remember the last time I had something crash on one of my macs, though I don't run any of the above. But it seems like it could be a problem with your machine

In rust ! signifies invoking a macro, so it couldn't be used like this in a function name even if you wanted to. Also, Rust allows you to notate immutable/mutating/owning for each individual argument type, so there wouldn&#x2

by brundolf 4y ago
> you might not be aware of when a mutation occurred Yeah, this is a risk with any language that mixes some functional features/style in with non-functional features. Rust does a pretty good job of letting you mostly delineate the t

by brundolf 4y ago
Method vs non-method calling syntax is a red herring; a method is just a function where you put the first argument on the left instead of inside the parenthesis Hanging functions off of objects/types isn't really anti-functional e

Slack used to feel better than it does now, and from my outside perspective it feels like most of the slowness that's started to happen comes down to lazier caching and slower back-end requests (loading conversations, etc)
830.
by brundolf 4y ago
Maybe it'll happen here! :)

I don't think I'd agree that idioms come into play here, one way or the other. Safely borrowing things by reference is one of Rust's headline features

I'm at a point where I think I would turn down any job offer that required me to do anything with python (even just the occasional change). I don't have the time or energy to fight with my tooling and environment that much It&#x27

Same, would love to see a comparison. I've been a mostly-happy user of DB for a while but always open to competition

Would this simplify things like wasm-bindgen too?

1. It's an add-on, so eg. you have to manually wrap each React component in an observer(), it doesn't really interact with hooks (triggering or responding to updates), etc 2. It has some minor gotchas around object cloning, proxie

by brundolf 4y ago
I try to stick with plain React hooks when I can. For small-medium state complexity they're usually enough For big stuff, especially deeply nested trees, MobX is still my favorite. It has some quirks but the core premise is such a simp
