Continuing on with my "old man yells at cloud" meme of late, here's my hot take: So let me get this straight- we are going to train AI models to perform screen recognition of some kind (so it can ascertain layout and detect t

When the executive is also vested with the power of enforcement, then, by construction, it usurps the power of the other 2 branches to check its authority. Which I think is obvious- a power hungry executive who disputes an attempted check o

Yes, virtual DOM. My mistake. Not even sure why I used the term shadow DOM. That makes sense. I understand the rationale now. I appreciate the detailed and thoughtful response.

I have hopes that adoption outside of stodgy enterprises will pick up, which would of course help the job situation (in due time of course). Sometimes it's hard to shake the rep you have when you're now a ~25 year old language. Aw

I've played with JSX a couple of times but not HTMX, and it's been a while since I wrote any Go code (pre-generics, so I've got some reading to do). I have been looking to slap together a small blog platform, and this sounds

I hope you understand that a fair bit of my second post was tongue-in-cheek. I appreciate the concrete examples, and yes, that makes perfect sense when you start getting into data-heavy frontend applications. I do remember jQuery being usef

Well we can all relate to that. We've all got to eat (and stay warm & dry). I think I'm just getting to the "old man yells at cloud" stage of my career. I think of all of the things that we could have built over the

I like it. I will add it to my lexicon. Thanks!

I don't mean to be obtuse, so let me make sure I have this right (and please afford me some leeway on my gentle ribbing, I assure you it's all in good fun and nothing personal): A framework will allow me to separate the app from i

Having spent a decade in the late 90s / early aughts doing PHP web development (including Bootstrap), I can't for the life of me figure out why modern frameworks need hooks and a shadow DOM and a component model. I dabbled for a b

You are technically correct. What you are overlooking is the underhanded plays executed by a certain political party to allow one president during one 4-year term to appoint 3 supreme court lackeys in order to ensure no matter what bs went

I think you mean "if we don't like it, it will be lied about and demonized". DJT & Friends don't exactly have a stunning track record of being truthful. In fact, I don't think the man ever tells the truth. And I

Brigading you is not my intent, so please don't take my comments that way. I just want to add that C# is getting pretty fast, and it's not just because people have had a long time to submit better implementations to a benchmark si

Can't speak for CUDA specifically, because I don't do anything with LLMs or ML locally, but I did have to rebuild ffmpeg with some some bits built with nvcc (and maybe an nvidia provided library- sorry it's been a while) to g

It is my understanding that Dan Gilbert (Detroit businessman, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers) sold Rock Financial to Intuit who then re-branded it as QuickenLoans. Gilbert then bought the mortgage unit back from Intuit a few years later,

My rant is about shitty online modern software that replaced fully functional (and fast) software for “reasons”. I don’t even know what you’re asking.

None of which handle bookkeeping, which is what Quicken was used for. I think it should have been obvious from my list of complaints that I was doing something a little more involved than "checking my bank balance".

This may come as a surprise to you, but the vast majority of users absolutely hate it when their software changes. They don't want all new interfaces with all new buttons and options and menus. People get used to their workflows and

Don't worry, they'll figure out a way to compile Skia to webassembly and re-link it to the DOM through JS. Maybe then the circle(jerk) will be complete. Ugh.

Do you believe that existing open source symbolic kernels are the limitation here, given that we can now easily (for some value of n) render the notation and the notes/annotations? I mean, there are a ton of math libraries available fo

It seems to me that exceptions have a bad rep. Complaints range from too slow to hidden control flow to just not liking them. I absolutely see the benefit in application code, otherwise you're error checking every function call. On the
