The memes are great on that subreddit, when the March crash happened and people were posting gifs of 'Order 66' being executed from Star Wars... priceless

This is bonkers. The UI did look good, I'm suprised it wasn't something native like QT. But I guess when I think about it, does it really matter? Chromium has some of the best engineers behind it, and web developer supply has neve

It's interesting Twitter finally started taking a stand in Trump's last year as president, I wonder if it's because they hope he'll get ousted and they won't have to deal with the backlash from him for too long. Or

Now we need a post mortem, like has been done with the Doom source code!

Have you used imgui? Easily fastest way to create a GUI since dawn of computing, Cobol screen section really has nothing on it.

Interesting at first glance, but what is the performance of this? It looks like all cases would have to be evaluated before picking one, so even slower than an if-else-if.

You understand this only helps in the short term right? Yeah we'll live, we'll also be poorer than ever at the end of this, and someone's gonna have to pay back this debt.

Hang on, how is this unique: Keyboard layout 0.09% Qwerty Is this saying less than 1% of users use a Querty keyboard? I must be living under a rock if that's the case.

Perhaps, but we've had this problem since being able to formulate speech, where we have no way to 'undo' what we said in the physical world. So our language adapted to allow us to say things such as 'let me rephrase that

If you want to continue thinking along these lines, then look at how humans do it. For example, when writing a word document, the person has a continuous stream of ideas of how to write about a subject. But do they continually append only t

1. Example is too simple, functions could modify anything in a model depending on context. 2. Good luck trying to optimise this (just merging all behaviours together at the end does not equal optimisation). 3. You're just pushing the p

I think I'm going to have make this my last comment as this is going in circles. I mean what is even your argument? Types exist whether you like it or not, implicitly or explicitly. You cannot get around this, it is simply a fact. When

Slows down what? Compile times? By a small amount sure, but with the incremental compilation we're talking maybe a few tens of seconds max. Any longer and you need to look at improving your build dependencies for better parallelism, an

Typescript doesn't make things easier, and react is intuitive? You know April fool's is still a few months away right?

Well this is interesting, I recently spent a weekend creating a 'splicing compiler', which could take a typescript project split up into features, where a feature was written in just one single typescript file. Each section of cod

If you provide a service people want/need, you are going to end up with more money.. It's not rocket science. This is how the capitalist cogs turn.

QT these days is written in a JavaScript-esqe language and runs a modified WebKit to power the UI. It's as bad as it sounds.

This is a non realistic reply, as if optimisation is something that can be tacked on after. The truth is you have to walk the fine line between performance and maintenance. It's good to plan ahead and be able to optimise on the bigger

Modern Javascript is complicated*. Elm Lang on the other hand is great for web dev.
