Svelte has an option to output Web Components, so it might be a good option if you want to use them while still writing your code in a React-y "declarative UI" style.

It seems like a Hackintosh would actually be the better choice if you're worried about Apple moving to ARM, since you could run Windows or Linux on it without relying on Apple for driver support.

I don't really like Gatsby's product, but I've got to admit that their business strategy makes a lot of sense. It's a pretty good three-step approach: 1. Convince the WordPress/enterprise crowd to switch over, both

Google kinda sorta sometimes executes JavaScript on pages it crawls, but much less frequently and less reliably than regular HTML indexing.

At least in the typical Desmos Test Mode use-case I've seen, the teacher never actually touches the device -- the student just holds up their phone with the confirmation screen when they hand in their test. Yes, the teacher could do a

Yup, a student could easily write an app that fakes the Desmos Test Mode confirmation screen, just like how a student could write a TI-BASIC program that displays "MEMORY CLEARED" on the screen. What's old is new again...

Right, yeah, it's linear algebra combined with a few non-linear functions. The point is that Salesforce didn't come up with an algorithm that generated English text by writing a grammar or thinking really hard about what sentences

I've never really gotten why AI types are so concerned about text-generation models. Like, sure, I can kind of see why you wouldn't want to make the Deepfakes program public; it currently takes a lot of time, effort, and expertise

There's an even more compelling reason why Apple's waiting a while before announcing the tracking tags: crowdsourcing. At WWDC this year, Apple announced that all iOS devices would begin reporting nearby devices' locations ba

by csande17 7y ago
I could totally see Apple only ever using this for the tracking tags (with a hastily-thrown-together the AirDrop feature so they have something to show off when the phone launches) and never letting anyone use it for anything else, regard

I dunno, Apple's put some pretty single-purpose hardware into their devices in the past. Like the sensor array that's pretty much only useful for Face ID, and the Force Touch stuff. (And Macs used to have an IR receiver, which IIR

I'd imagine Python is so slow in this benchmark because it doesn't have any kind of optimizing compiler. All the other languages are either compiled ahead of time or just-in-time compiled into more efficient machine code. I wonder

Yeah, React seems to have been designed under the assumption that DOM operations are the only thing front-end code can do that takes non-zero time. Like, here's the first line of their document describing how to use to improve performa

I'd argue that hooks didn't really make anything better, they just replaced the pitfalls with different obtuse pitfalls and unergonomic solutions. Hooks have their share of weird issues; they explode if they're called in

It's always bugged me that iOS creates specialized one-off APIs for accessing things like Health and the photo library, instead of a generic, extensible interface that third-party apps could use to create their own shared data stores.

Settings, Phone, SMS, and maybe App Store are probably the only iOS system apps that actually deserve to be special.

Apple does this in other areas, too. In 2017, for example, they encouraged/pressured video-streaming apps to integrate with their new "TV" app which, at the time, they claimed was just an aggregator for all your streaming ser
