Maybe take both for a brief spin, but my vote would be for svelte. I used vue2 about the same timeframe as you (stumbled upon it while trying to find alternatives to React or whatever) and really liked it a lot. About a year ago I had to ta

A few days ago they announced changes to the free/hobbyist version - over the past year or so they've crippled some things and overall there's a bit of an off-putting vibe towards hobby users. I used Fusion360 a ton for 3D pr

That's the whole point of the fee on the other side: spend a little time to get educated, or pay a higher rate. The rate can be raised as high as needed.

I just got back from a week of backpacking in a wilderness area in Wyoming and saw about 6 people over the course of the trip, and it was great. Unfortunately for the author, he's probably going to have to sacrifice the camper if he wa

I'm glad you had the good sense not to mention any of the cases over the past few months that have been the main source of riots, but please re-read what I was responding to and what I wrote because it still stands: these cases - thoug

Sure, I don't disagree. The implication though was that this was a story mainly/entirely coming out of so-called conservative media, so I posted a small sampling of links from other places.

Really? Which of the recent high profile incidents didn't involve someone physically resisting the police and/or acting aggressively to others while repeatedly ignoring the police yelling at them to back off? For each case you can

Thankfully, the amount of mortal danger for peaceful interactions with government employees is already incredibly close to zero.

> The police have all the responsibility to de-escalate situations. If they're not doing that then they're the ones in the wrong. I strongly disagree, and submit that a big part of the problem is this exact mentality. Police sh

Haha, I came here just to encourage people to check out www.nand2tetris.org too. It's extremely educational. It's also realllllly satisfying to play Tetris on something you "built" all the way up from basic logic gates.

I can see both sides, and have used both sides (at my last company we used 1500-2000 EC2 instances at any given time and at my current company we have one non-critical EC2 instance and then a bunch of cloud functions on Firebase/Google

Easy to use reactivity + unobtrusive client side templating = happiness. I'm on my 5th or 6th project w/ svelte and it's been an overall joy to use so far.

Yep, that's the approach that worked for us: we started a consulting company and built up a war chest to self-fund the initial development of our "real" idea. Rather than pulling the trigger as an event, it was a process: we

Seems like part of the problem is that there might not be much overlap between the types of things he points out that aren't optimized - which are obscure and useless - and what could "legally" be optimized. So, yes, somethin

Actually, variable names should largely /not/ be lost - Python is insanely dynamic and needs variable/function/etc. names to remain. At most you might lose the names of local variables inside a function (i.e. variables t

Hopefully that's the case generally, but the problem is with the branch of identity politics that goes from "we've been mistreated and want that to stop" to "you share some physical trait with people from the past w

I'm not aware of any alternative meaning; the article mentioned in the earlier post gave a good explanation of it IMO. My personal experience is with the Left and certain people being extremely in-your-face about it and (ironically) pr

That 2015 article is great, thank you. I think this part sums up the problem in a nutshell: "[identity politicians] deny that people exist as unique individuals at all; people are simply instances of spectres". In my experience at

Ok, I appreciate your willingness to share. FWIW it's virtually impossible to determine the open-mindedness of someone from afar, and to make assumptions about their ability to even consider other ideas seems like a way to insulate o

I'm fascinated by your stance - genuinely fascinated, I'm not trolling you, I'm serious. So to recap, the CEO of Chick-fil-a is part of a group of people ("they") who are actually unable - as in, incapable - of ho

Wait, so in order for a person to be open-minded, they have to not only honestly consider other ideas and perspectives (which is what being open-minded actually means) they also have to agree with your perspective? A person's open-mind

I understand that you disagree with the CEO, but how do you get from there to the conclusion that he is not open-minded?

by dbrueck 8y ago
Out of curiosity, in what way is Chick-fil-a not open-minded?

Amen to this. And even if an idea is unique, novel, or new, it can immediately be copied by just about anyone, so there's typically not a lot of enduring competitive advantage in just an idea. I'm in my 40s and have started a ha
