+1, I really enjoy watching his content. His deep dives into certain technologies is truly valuable, if a bit long-winded.

I think you're confused as well. Most frameworks that provide any kind of HTML rendering method can do server-side rendering. The trickiness is making them isomorphic. > the other is the definition of leaky and crappy abstraction We

I just don't care that much really. The current systems work fine IMO.

Who actually thinks like this? Callbacks were absolutely unmaintainable. Promises (and `async/await`) are really not that hard.

The children aren't vaccinated. It's why you're getting downvoted. It has nothing to do with vaccine skepticism. If they were all vaccinated, I too would wonder if the vaccine had something to do with it. Maybe you're ju

Yeah it's truly baffling. I saw a comment the other day (here, on Hacker News) about a hypothetical situation where Musk starts banning accounts that have pronouns (like he/him) in their bio if he gets to run Twitter. This wouldn&

I've used Linear and Shortcut (formerly Clubhouse). I was a huge Shortcut proponent, but there were a couple of concepts that weren't fully fleshed out. Linear has none of these issues. I've been super impressed with it.

Blueprints is okay until you start to reach some branching or conditionals. You can always compartmentalize things into Blueprint functions, but Blueprints do have some limitations. Thankfully, Unreal really shines when you combine them bot

If it's an environment I'm comfortable with, writing unit tests is faster than testing by hand. If it's not an environment I'm comfortable with... dear lord it is absolutely brutal to write any kind of test.

I have nothing to add to this discussion, but I wanted to add that I love this comment. Sometimes we have to take a step back and really think about why we're making all of these choices and picking certain tools for a job.

Every couple of years I'm reminded of the scale of the universe and I'm just as shocked every time.

In Gnome I cannot add certain binaries to the dock unless I edit a file and point to it. Basic feature that both MacOS and Windows support.

I see this argument in every thread about Linux. There's always this one magical user where everything "just works", has had 0 issues and everything's just dandy.

Yeah, I have the experience as OP. Every single game I play on Linux has random hitches for seconds at a time.

Don't feel too bad. I've been wrong plenty of times before, but my prediction is that the Rust hype will fizzle out outside of Hacker News. There's just a lot of use cases that simply don't need its guarantees, and I thi

After working with Angular 1.x for four years in the beginning of my career, I have very little appetite for Angular. And a detailed tutorial is only half the battle IMO. The last time I attempted to use Angular 2, which was around 2016-201

I'm not sure I agree with this author at all. React is extremely accessible. It's the reason it blew up and now has a behemoth of a community. Getting started with React nowadays is as simple as $ npx create-react-app Fol
