From a wider perspective it does vanish in terms of productive value: billions go into inflated transfers and club losses that generate little beyond spectacle, instead of going into things that improve lives (cheap energy, infrastructure,

Fair point, governments don't literally wire tax money straight to Qatar for oil. But whether it is at the pump or through subsidies, it is still ordinary people who end up carrying the cost — and that money gets recycled into football

Football is wild. Imagine countries and governments collect taxes. Then they use the taxes to buy petroleum products from Qatar. Then Qatar spends €262 millions on a single football player and gazillions on a European club, which is at €889

Life is a form of predictive processing, like LLMs try to mimic life by predicting the next word, brains are constantly predicting the state of the world itself. LLMs run on billions, gigawatts, and all of human knowledge to predict the nex

Your level of understanding is not very huge. React is an absolute pleasure to use, and we do enjoy it - that is why it became the most popular library and a revolution in web dev.

You do acknowledge this but this doesn't make the "spent 7 hours and shipped 35k LOC" claim factually correct or true. It sure sounds good but it's disingenuous, because shipping != making progress. Shipping code means d

It's strange that author is bragging that this 35K LOC was researched and implemented in 7 hours, but there are 40 commits spanning across 7 days. Was it 1 hour per day or what? Also quite funny that one of the latest commits is "

I don't think comparing it to something like camera surveillance inside your home is a good idea. You kind of own your home – if someone places camera in your property, you can just remove it / obstruct vision / sound etc.

It’s funny — Chat Control is not aimed at people who actually care about privacy. Those will always find a way to keep using encryption. The math doesn’t vanish because a law says so, and the open-source projects aren’t going away. What it

You know for thousands of years people are still stepping on rake, the spikey part. And they get hit in their foreheads. The rake is lever by design, but I wouldn't say the problem is the rake.

Well, that is really embarrassing for Cloudflare... A recursion in a side-effect via dependencies is a rookie mistake, it's hard to imagine it could slip into production with a proper due process. Maybe they should stop vibe-coding and

Surely they are not normal JavaScript functions, but at least the syntax itself is not turned into a DSL like we see it in Svelte or Vue. That is the main difference.

by gloosx 1y ago
JSX is just a syntax extension to JS, and it's not even required to create a React app. React "compiler" is in fact a transpiler, which is a very common thing in JS. >React is full of magic syntax that looks like functions

React isn’t just "winning by default" It's winning because at the core it's just JavaScript function composition. A component is a function, conditionals are `if (...) { ... } else { ... }`, loops are `map()`. JSX is jus

A man climbs the mountain to seek wisdom from the old sage. He bows and says: -- In October, Microsoft will force Microsoft 365 Copilot upon us all. The sage furrows his brow, strokes his beard, and replies: -- Tell me then... what the hell

That would indeed be pointless because I was originally replying to a single UI interaction, where it doesn't really make a huge impact whether it happened in 2 or 5 frames. You're trying to bring in continuous changing of frames

I would say when working with synths, the difference between 15ms and 2ms is just swing, it is noticeable but it doesn't feel wrong, just makes things more interesting. When a drummer plays drums all the hits are off-timing 10-40ms, an

Well, most of this sub 150ms lag everywhere in the interfaces is actually artificially designed, and believe it or not, some people do prefer it like this, so it's being designed like this. I'm personally for making everything as

by gloosx 1y ago
The context was about UI interactions, not at all about movie clip which is a totally different thing.

Yeah of course it is different. My wording was not really correct here – I was rather meaning "irrelevant" in context of a user interface

20ms is faster than a fly reaction time, it's about the same time which 60HZ monitor takes to refresh the frame, 10 times faster than a typical human's reaction. Everything under 150 ms is pretty much indistinguishably fast to a n
