This is simply not true… that’s the problem. As much as I like Zed, using it for the sake of not being an electron app doesn’t make any sense when Cursor’s edit prediction adds so much value. I’m not starved of resources and can run Cursor

That was me! The original version I put on codepen was about 13 years ago. I can’t believe it either… until I realise that was before I landed my first programming job, and it feels like ages.

No, fluid simulation is much more complex, but there are some relatively simple Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics demos out there.

This example actually appears to be 2d.

It’s actually a lot simpler than you might think. I say that having written the “tearable cloth” demo linked elsewhere in this thread before I’d even started my SWE career. In this case it’s basic “verlet” integration, which involves updati

Yep, found this googling it. Forgot I had an Evernote account tbh but it was a little concerning.

I know exactly what you’re talking about from when I transitioned to web dev, but I feel that much less these days with TypeScript (done well) and VS Code. It’s actually a pretty decent experience even if it does feel like a bit of a facade

This is interesting to me because I've been left with the opposite impression. I've tried several times to switch to an alternative such as Duckduckgo and _always_ end up supplementing it and eventually switching back to Google be

I don't think a SPA is the problem, in fact a well-made (end to end) SPA should be faster after an initial, cacheable load. It's the fact that it isn't well-made and it's bloated with god knows what.

No, Mark Zuckerberg was a nobody too. Having clout helps things along considerably when it comes to marketing and acquiring non-nobodies, but being a nobody is neither here nor there when it comes to potential. Replace "programmer&quot

I don't believe that any of the videos described were made for views or with the intention of having an audience. Many things go beyond your capacity for empathy if you're oblivious to them and their magnitude – they're shock

Despite probably being correct in their sentiment, I think the attack on the team of "ragtag nobodies" is a bit out of order. I'm sure many of the world's best programmers are "nobodies".

Badly, which is why we have a totally different approach in the form of RN, Flutter etc. The concept of cross platform support wasn't the problem, that's what we're chasing for a reason.

Huge companies, yes. They'd still prefer to spend less money/resource/time if they have the option to though, hence why some large companies actively explore cross platform technology. Adobe did that with phonegap a long time

Aside from update frequency you wouldn't, users can't tell the difference if it's done well. Are we not talking about "the state of software development"?

I don't think it would be less bloated, it's impossible for a layer on top of native to be less bloated. That's not to say it couldn't be efficient, and efficiency in development time is the key factor. It can be a night

I don't think so, if RN or similar is a viable option then it makes far more sense than juggling large Java and Swift implementations of the same app.

And yet it's more often than not recognisable as a male voice. But anyway, they're not changing their gender, they're changing their sex. They will tell you that there were of the female gender before transitioning.

Slightly, but what we consider male and female voices are correlated with sex and not gender. This is apparent in almost any transexual person, unless they happen to have an androgynous voice or physical alterations to their vocal cords.

It's one thing to subscribe to gender roles traditional to your culture, but a totally different thing to base your attitude towards women on the perceived gender of a virtual assistant on your phone. You can kind of make a logical lin

Surely you'd refer to this as a "sexless" voice. Even if you believe that gender and sex are unrelated, voice is a product of your physical body and determined by sex. It's not affected by gender. In my opinion all this

That seems to me like a far reaching problem to solve. I don't believe anyone actually thinks like that, I think this hypothetical issue exists in the minds of people trying to solve it.

by diss 8y ago
Yes. You find contradictions all through this kind of belief system if you analyse it logically, because it's driven first and foremost by how people feel (or how people think others might feel).

What's wrong with using react-router? That's just one solution that I've found easy and without significant limitation. Easier than native solutions. I'm predominantly a web developer who uses React and related technolog

Well, it could mean that mental health professionals push exercise significantly more as a treatment. A lot of people see psychologists and doctors about mental health.
