batteries are not light, that would be wasting a lot of energy to shuffle batteries around. not great for the environment. battery packs are often structural components, this idea would make that impossible, reducing durability and safety.

when we lived in the suburbs my family and i spent way more time inside than we do now in a rural setting. i think maybe you got mixed up. rural people are generally very active.

before React took over, "SPAs" were written with jQuery and Bootstrap, and it was common to see a project with multiple copies of different versions of jQuery. Totally possible to bloat a website without a framework. just go old s

My more general rule is that anything being advertised to me must be way overpriced or a scam, in order to pay for the expensive advertisements. I won’t buy nearly anything I see advertised. I don’t run into many ads anyway, but some always

i use Vite and built my own router. Works great and i can do a whole SPA with just that.

so every 4 years a new group can shift the priorities completely and what should be a technical challenge becomes a political one, dominated by those with money. I'm sure before long you would be required to input your government ID to

Swift can't handle it either, I had to write an extension to add that ability. Felt weird to me.

it blows me away that this is even a product. it's like a half day of dev time, and they don’t appear to have over-engineered it or even done basic things given the exploit here.

what i meant was- it is a poor engineer indeed who doesn't understand the concepts of philosophy such as ethics, logic, and how that led to the scientific method. science without philosophy is just scientism. it leads to engineers crea

by floydnoel 2y ago
philosophy is the basis of reason, math, and science. it's sad that "engineers" don’t understand it or it's import.

you had a book that listed every phone number in numerical order? because a phone book is the exact opposite of that

developers often want those things, but they are certainly not required. i certainly don’t use a react data fetching library, i just use fetch. i don’t use special react state management, just use redux. i did build a router that works prim

by floydnoel 2y ago
Totally agreed. I ended up building my own router so I could just use React, Vite, and my router and have everything required to ship a SPA, while adding support for SEO. It's tiny compared to the competition: https://github

that just means you have too many items together. break them up into smaller components or use something like a Group and that solves it. not a big mystery

so far as I can tell, nobody here has stated the real reason that I've heard from conservative circles. Which makes sense, probably very few on this site would ever encounter them. but anyway, what i heard was that former president pas
