   We need a cross-platform React component system at my job, but we're going to only be sharing bits and pieces of the apps, across a pair of large existing codebases with their own design systems and architectures I hate how so many of

   Amazingly, my company has done something in three years that took google 18 years!

   I have had mixed results when using NPM libraries, but I also haven't run into any cases yet where I absolutely needed them Some stuff you might reach out to NPM for is built into Deno's standard library. Other stuff has become bu

   Being imperative instead of declarative, it hinders a host of key optimizations like parallel loading and dead code elimination

   For projects where I can, I've moved to Deno and never looked back. It's blissful over there

   Wow, I'd honestly assumed Rocket was dead. Glad to see it continue! It takes a pretty different approach from the other Rust web frameworks (much more opinionated and all-inclusive), so it's great to have more diversity in the spa

   Your company is doing something very wrong, but so are the vast majority of software orgs, including mine. Which maybe casts new light on the OP

    It has nothing to do with the browser, it has to do with how opinionated your framework is. VB was highly opinionated; it made native windows-style UIs and nothing else. Nobody was taking arbitrary mockups from designers, with a wildly cu

    Every once in a while I grab a water cup, usually at a coffee shop, and I notice the cups smell a bit like bleach. Always struck me as weird, but I figured they wouldn't put them out that way if it wasn't safe I might be more care

    True, though I'm not sure any amount of individual donations could have the level of effect corporate sponsorship has had on Blender

    I've been implementing a language with a TypeScript-like type system, and while the core system is pretty intuitive (values combining with other values, determining whether basic value types fit into others), some of the fringes have b

    From my understanding Blender started getting a ton of corporate sponsorship a few years ago, and that was when development suddenly went into overdrive

    Amazing that even blender.org isn't immune to the hug of death (though probably from more than just HN)

    Another favorite example of de-radicalization through compassion: https://youtu.be/SSH5EY-W5oM I'm a firm believer that the antidote to hatefulness is connection, which leads to empathy, which leads to love

    By now we've gotten several projects that re-implement a core unix util in a safe language, often also with better performance due to concurrency, better standard primitives, etc Have any of these ever been adopted by a distro as the d

    From what I've heard this is not true. I.e. I've heard Lexus has some of the worst in-car software out there

    I've heard that Teslas are some of the only cars where nonzero thought was put into the overall UX. That on its own is enough to put them on my radar Are there any other brands people have had good (or not-bad) experiences with?

    There used to be a very funny website called Vicemo that would scrape and display (public by default!) Venmo transactions containing certain keywords/emojis https://www.thecut.com/2015/02/vicemo-collects-all-y

    Sure, I guess I lumped this sort of kiosk under "reception desk". But there's no way that market is big enough on its own to justify the product

    I think the Mac Studio replaced it, which makes sense- its target market is more likely to want to bring their own display
