For the specific case of doing a map or filter operation on a really huge list, I've found it helpful to yield the main thread every once in a while with a setTimeout(0) call. Usually this means setting your code up so it can do the pr

You can just use the last version of the software released under whatever license revision you prefer. They can't take it away from you! You could also get together with some friends and start a fork based on that version.

In practice, though, to implement Intl you pretty much need a robust implementation of a strftime-like date formatting function, as well as a full set of month/weekday/etc strings for every language you support. So it's less

Count me as one of the people in the silent majority. (Well, not exactly "silent" because I'm talking about it now in Hacker News, but the things I write don't usually reach the general public.) You're right that cr

My understanding is that the term "Latino" includes both people indigenous to Latin America and people whose ancestors were colonists from Spain. The latter group is generally the larger/more well-known one -- that's why

The magical bit is that they have hundreds and hundreds of cooks in the kitchen, who all need to justify their existence by creating tons and tons of little one-off UI screens for obscure features that hardly anyone sees or uses. This kind

Since this is based on KaiOS, I really hope they do a classic flip-phone style device. There's no better form factor for a phone you actually use to call people, and a lot of the current devices on the market are set to die off when ca

I have found that it's very, very easy for some people operating in bad faith to turn ANY opposing argument into a violation of "politeness" and "respect". A real example from an internal discussion I witnessed once

What's there to "keep up with"? UI-wise, desktop operating systems have been pretty much stagnant for a decade, and software-compatibility-wise, people already weren't expecting Linux to run all their newfangled commerci

It's not necessarily the best way, it's just the way that consumes the lowest amount of space in the city. If there's an ideological point to be made here, it's that hospitals are larger than police stations.

The sleight-of-hand trick in this comment is describing Magnasanti, an exercise in building a city with the literal highest population density possible, as "a stable large city". You could probably create a nice big city that had

It can be fun to try and spot the rhetorical sleight-of-hand trick that articles like this use to come to their eye-catching conclusions: > The art project Magnasanti revealed the contours of the black box when it attempted to “beat” the

Desktop environments on Linux basically just draw into a full-screen X window, don't they? (And then the programs you run are children of that root window.) I wonder how hard it would be to hack up XQuartz to support that...

Games, particularly ones written with engines like Unity, actually look a lot like websites in this respect. You have a core engine written in C++ that runs the event loop and draws things on the screen and stuff, but all the actual game lo
