I hate those cookie prompts so much I get Cookie Rage every time they appear. I rather be tracked from here to infinity than see another cookie prompt in a site i approved yesterday.

I learned C on an old Mac Plus or Mac SE... It felt useless at the time since I didn't have access to the computer outside the class but I can't forget the joy of making a circle move across the window...

I think you are just used to the format. I don't see how it's any more human friendly than metric/celsius/normal time. All perspective

That's a sensible way to look at it.

Yes I meant type annotations. To be honest, given a choice, I opt for JavaScript. I personally don't find the benefit of TS is worth than all the extra work it requires, to make what is a dynamic language, not so dynamic. Why go for Py

What happens to TypeScript when ECMAScript brings it's core elements to the language?

Borders did sell them in the UK (until the eventually closed up shop).

They are in my Garage. Along with Amiga Format and other such magazines. They can use them to cremate my body but until then, they remain where they are.

I will do just that. Good idea.

The InfoMagic setup for Slackware went with a floppy for setting boot and lilo and the cd for the rest. Looking at the CDs now, the 1st was Slackware, and others were RedHat, Debian and what appears to be a dump of mit.edu, sunsite, and als

I still have the InfoMagic Linux CDs from November 1995. Mostly slackware focused. Can't bring myself to throw it away....

FAANG are a bit of a global entity at this stage. Also, all those British enterprises that are now owned by funds across the globe - that does not change the fact that the hands and brains working in those companies are hands and brains in

I am British, but I wasn't born and raised in the UK. I am always amazed at how low UK born Brits's opinion of the UK is. It's always this defeatist attitude. Life in the UK is not without it's problems, that is for sure

I remember when they came out I thought, from a purely aesthetic perspective, that they look so cool. Just like the sound modules in my music studio (at the time).

I was managing a CD-Rom shop when the Voodoo was a thing. We bought one for the store's 486DX computer and I remember the before and after shock of playing Tomb Raider and demoing it to shoppers. It felt like "The Future"...

If your letter can be a cookie-cutter template for other such letters, and you are willing to publish it, that would lower the barrier of "doing something".

It was! It was exactly the day before yesterday when he said that. I remember. I started my "career" doing "multimedia" in the 90s. Macromedia Director programming. I also remember those who had a 486 and that one guy w

I still finding it hard to trust 1TB worth of important data stored in that medium. I'm half joking but still, only half joking. The other half is dead serious.

it's more than wild man. It's magical! Just yesterday or the day before my 700KB or so Amiga floppy seemed like it would last forever...

You're only using 61 MB of your 512 MB RAM. Megabyte. I love it. Megabyte. I distinctly remember the happiness of attaching a 512KB RAM expansion card to my Amiga, bringing total RAM to 1MB. You have 512 of those!

Absolutely this. I'll add that there is a certain kind of joy (to me at least) to see an old machine spring back to life and become useful again.

Small correction: Consulting gigs are not a paycut. They are a pay multiplier.

Whether it should or should not be avoided is a preference. That is why it's not forced. I don't want or need it. And if I do, and it's caveated with double-useEffect - so be it. I have a feeling there is a lot of overkill in

Not much in 2023 is fast on an old Android device from 2013, unless it's something from 2013...

useEffect IS a great (the best?) place to put async code. I do it all the time. The reason for strict mode rendering twice is to spot strictness related issues. Honestly I never even thought of using it so I've never experienced this.

I'm sorry but I don't share your experience. I find React very easy, and short of a period of creating the baseline components and skeleton, everything else flows very fast in terms of development time. By the way, I think react i

If a developer coded a slow app in react they will code a slow app in svelte. We need to stop blaming the language.

by harel 4y ago
Svelte is great. React is great. X, Y and Z are also great. And you know what they all share as well? Speed. They are all fast . Definitely fast enough for 99% of all uses cases if not more. The benchmarks they all provide are just benchma

I like his avatar image. I've just finished restoring and pumping some steroids on an Amiga 500. It's still open next to me and it's nice to have that logo pop up on an unrelated context.
