Why was it rewritten, because it was difficult to maintain? It sounds like whomsoever rewrote it failed to make it more maintainable, then I would say that is a failure on the part of the person than on the concept of a framework.

To begin, React isn't a framework. It’s a tool. Would you compare a table saw to a workshop? That doesn’t make sense and neither does comparing React to a framework—especially if you’re saying you don’t need one. Furthermore, using a v

Didn't know that; thank you for pointing it out. If you have to have tips, that’s a good way to handle it. Nonetheless I prefer doing away with tips for other reasons: * It’s just one more thing I have to decide, and I’m tired of doing

I avoid using Lyft specifically because it has tips. Lack of tips is one of the best things about Uber.

Having a multitude of small utilities like this is a great thing with many advantages. It may seem simple to write leftpad, but if 1000 projects that need it all write their own version, there will be at least 2000 more software bugs out th

I do the same. However, I guess that as Apple grows and attracts more customers outside of tech (especially as they have done with the iPhone), they will have also picked up a much larger share of customers who will use the built-in apps. I

The argument has some holes. First, the conclusion that baggage fees are a good deal doesn't follow since the baggage fee shortfall is accounted for in the price of the ticket. A more valid conclusion is that travelers who don't c

Amazon may have been cheap but now it's convenient. Of course I would prefer that Amazon is as competitive as possible. However, as mentioned by others, the time savings of going to a store vs. shopping online justifies a little extra

I agree with @mediumdeviation about the Gatekeepers section remarks. Steam cost real money to develop and operate. Valve also has additional operating expenses as a business. It's a free market and others are free to compete with Steam

Presumably this is because of the cost of launching the satellites (obviously quite a bit more than racking a server in a data center). Nonetheless, if this strategy beats the latency, then I agree that it's the right one.

The title of this post "faster than React" is misguided. React is fast. Most libraries and frameworks have to be fast to be widely adopted. But speed is not, in my opinion, one of the main reasons to use React. I use React profess

Perhaps. However, even if they did keep the source code, there are issues and other information on github that would not be preserved. I think it's safe to assume this information is very relevant to litigation involving a scenario suc

Quite alright—I'm usually very precise on these matters as well. Nonetheless I disagree with the point. My opinion after actually having used React.js is that it is more than a UI library. I've used other UI libraries and React.js

One might assume/hope that we would rethink and eliminate some of the programs/incentives you mention, should basic income become a reality. For example, perhaps welfare could be reduced or eliminated. Perhaps certain tax credits
