Something I've wondered about the "immutable updates" pattern discussed in the article: do JavaScript engines optimize it somehow? On its face, it seems like it would turn a constant-time "favorite post X" operation

AGPL says roughly "you have to give the source code to anyone who accesses the software over a network". In other words, it's basically trying to say that software-as-a-service counts as "redistribution" for the pur

In your first example, if invokeFunction() returns 0, the text "0" will be inserted into the page. 0 is falsey, so `0 && <p>Hi</p>` evaluates to 0, but 0 is a number so React pastes it into the page conten

At least on my desktop machine, there aren't a whole lot of services that directly depend on other services. Usually, a service will provide some functionality (e.g. sound) used by applications I launch. As far as I know, systemd doe

I'm a little confused by the decision to make breaking changes to the borrow checker in Rust 2015. Wasn't the whole point of Rust 2015 to allow old code that wasn't compatible with 2018's changes to compile? If keeping s

Redux is a bit like Java: it's possible to write well-designed software with it, but it's also gotten a reputation for being used by the sort of programmers who blindly apply "best practices" and create nine layers of Ab

Rust is great for when you're writing a serious, security-critical program that can't have any memory-corruption bugs or data races. It makes writing programs a little more challenging, and sometimes you sacrifice a bit of runtime

I tried to get Zig running on a Game Boy Advance a while ago, but never really got to a point I was happy with. Great to see someone else working on it! It's cool that you got the built-in linker to work. When I tried, I got a bunch of

From a marketing standpoint, I'm not sure demos like this that draw comparisons between JavaScript frameworks and 3D game engines are a great idea. The author describes updating 2000 cubes every frame as an "impossible amount of l

Frameworks like Svelte focus on reducing the time spent running JavaScript. This project focuses on reducing the time spent on layout and rendering. Theoretically they'd complement each other, but in practice I imagine UIs for super-re

+1. A lot of design systems assume that, for instance, there are only a few amounts of vertical padding you'll ever want to have on an element. But sometimes, the designer really will tell you that something needs 10 pixels of padding,

Right, but it goes from being something you get for free to being something you have to go out of your way to do. Which can matter, especially on projects where you're designing a site/theme to hand off to someone less technical.

Not the parent, but the approach I've seen in React is to treat inline CSS as objects like "{ fontWeight: "bold", color: "#000" }". So to re-use it, you can either put it in a constant or make a component

I think the utility-based approach overlooks an important point: semantic class names are useful for a lot of things besides writing your styles. "Codeless tracking" systems let you put in the CSS selector for a button and find ou

At least React's "pass an object to the `style` prop" makes it relatively easy to do that overriding. With utility classes, your code has no way of knowing that "bg-red" should override "bg-blue". (And fre
