I never did try om.next, but to this day Reagent is my favorite way to interact with React. I too was hopeful ClojureScript would become more mainstream. I haven't coded in Clojure in years now because unfortunately I just don't s

Yesterday my wife asked me how can I work with music playing, doesn't that distract me? My response was my work boils down to figuring out what to make, then making it. The figuring out part is hard, and requires silent concentration.

Yeah I agree with that. But Apple has an app store hammer, and Microsoft has a Windows hammer too. Of all the hammers, I feel Google's is the least evil of them all. They're all really bad, the state of technology today is er ...

There has been a ton of work to address all of that such as web assembly, webgl, webgpu, webworkers, websockets, http2, sse, on and on. There's a lot of web tech out there (for better or for worse). You really can make a webapp that&#x

You're conflating two issues. Chromium's dominance is a problem for sure, but that is separate from the web being an open platform. The web is more open than Linux (which I use btw) because a web app can run on Linux, MacOS, Windo

The web is the only open platform we have ever had and probably will ever have. To shun it for proprietary app stores and OSes is really disheartening. I'm the exact opposite, the more web apps the better. And sadly, Safari is holding

I felt like for 2000 they took the 98 look and just nicely honed it. Things like the gradient in the title bar of windows, or switching from the default aqua of 98 to the nice blue of 2000. Little things that pushed this overall look and fe

I've always felt Windows 2000 was the pinnacle (or perhaps XP with the classic theme turned on). So consistent and clean. The emphasis back then was a computer is a tool you use, not something that needs to be "pretty".

MacOS classic had some nice UX touches that modern MacOS lacks though. For example having the close button on the opposite side of the window, so there's no questioning you meant to close the window. Same with the trash can being in th

I've had the opposite experience. I used to be a huge Apple fan, and all hardware I owned was Apple. I have since completely moved away from them due to how buggy everything is now. I use Ubuntu MATE on a Thinkpad and it works beautifu

They might have gotten fired in 96 too. They certainly seemed afraid of that based on things in the story not to mention waiting 25 years to tell it.

That's a good point. Who really knows, but possibly Google just doesn't see that coming, or at least not any time soon. A true competitor to YouTube would really do consumers and creators a lot of good though.

A while back they significantly increased the number of ads and also now show YouTube premium popups constantly. I would imagine it's had very little if any negative impact. Google knows YouTube is the only game in town.

It'd be nice to let people create themes anonymously and only save them to localStorage, then require an account if they want to do more from there.

It is possible to tree-shake Lodash. If that's not practical in this case, Lodash also ships individual function packages (for example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/lodash.isequal ), as an alternative to tree shak

Can someone versed in open source licenses chime in in what it means to use this service since it is licensed under the AGPL? I'm not an expert but as I understand it AGPL can require your own code to come under AGPL as well?

Good to know. This has me thinking it'd be cool to have a babel plugin or something that extracts out svgs like this. I currently have a website that heavily uses svgs and for the bulk of them I resorted to img elements because embeddi

Is it possible to include the defs in perhaps a <link>, so they can be downloaded once and cached across all pages?

That's a good point about older customers. I could see them being confused. I'm not really sure to be honest though, as I didn't work on this stuff when I was there. I'm not sure about the credit card issue either.

Full disclosure, I used to work for Netflix. I really don't think they're trying to be shady. When you click to cancel, it tells you what your last day of service will be. This is also how just about all monthly subscription servi

Especially considering the svg that a design tool produces is often gigantic. FWIW I have found svgcleaner to be better than svgo. svgo seems to have more bugs and chokes on svgs more often in my experience.

Interestingly a major aspect of video game speed running is figuring out how the game generates random numbers then exploiting the knowledge. For example speedrunners avoid all random battles in an rpg with this tactic. I'm not arguin

It's actually the cordless ones in particular that I think are so terrible. They get jammed just about every time you use them, the max button gets stuck, the battery doesn't last, etc. I struggle to think of a positive for them i

I think Dyson is the best example that shows marketing really works. I've yet to find a single Dyson product of quality. Their vacuums are downright terrible.

I agree for older machines this is a great approach. A lot of the challenge is being organized and persistent, powering through all the opcodes and making sure they're accurately implemented. I made a Sega Master System emulator many y
