It's a leaky abstraction at best. Obviously leaving out the ones that are literally written to the DOM, can you give some more examples of React props (like 'children') that are helpful to think about in this way? I wrote va

by hashkb 6y ago
It's dangerous to think of any React prop as "corresponding" to a DOM property. Only exception I can think of is "dangerouslySetInnerHTML" which has "dangerous" in the name already. Children can be a func

I'm talking about blaming and punishing management, not engineers. I'm sorry that wasn't clear.

In general I'm frustrated that rigor, standards, etc are out the window in favor of all this warm fuzziness. I guess I might be angry... The culture change in our industry, towards warm fuzzies and away from tech screens, results in ca

This is Pinterest. Every org I've worked at has been smaller. There's space between shame and ignoring mistakes. The purpose of this post is not to educate. There's nothing in here that anyone can use to improve. It's ju

Good teams profile everything. This team's only goal is to support other engineers. Build time is a huge issue for every ops team. Missing this for so long is wasted money that's easy to calculate. We can be nice to people while s

Nitpick... if 99% of your build time is consumed by preparing the workspace, that's the story. This isn't interesting to anyone who doesn't have that exact problem. Most people who click this won't find it interesting.

"Raise hand" is an attempt to solve the right problem, but it doesn't solve it in a realistic way. Virtual meetings feel weird because we're all more Trumpy than we realize - in actuality nearly every speaker's tur

I thought it was nice, given the extreme anti-science / anti-regulation attitudes we see in the USA.

HN can be weirdly sensitive to comments about music being hard; fundamentals being mandatory, etc. I bet if we criticized the code on Music News (not a real thing) it'd be the same way.

Are those on this forum not similarly free to express their judgment?

Fear of bad PR is the most effective way to motivate larger American companies.

Many users felt locked in to FB / like it was a vital part of their life for quite a while before it became an advertising platform. It's only attractive to advertisers if it's a good product for users. They pioneered the bus

And it's pretty early in the day.

This does highlight a real problem- advertisers feel like they deserve a better tool than the users they're targeting.

Why didn't you just build Krita and then come here to leave some relevant feedback instead of complain about package management in general?

The specific criticism I think that generates the hostility you're experiencing is something like "Linux should be easier to use / easy to use for the everyday computer user". In general I think most people would agree

Outside of "convenience" they're attractive for the flexible routing and parameterization. I can only realistically deploy 4 tube screamers and a handful of delays before someone notices they're all set almost exactly th

There's only one criterion for success- blind taste test with my current rig. At this point I need mathematical proof or someone to risk something (money) for me to try again. No offense, but other people's ears have always let me

I think it's about money, not security.

I just returned a Helix because of lackluster... everything. I'll try modelers again in a few years. I think of tube amps a lot like I think about Vim.

No, but I would if I could. And I remember enough to improvise live with other musicians; I'm not always the best, but I know enough not to embarrass myself; and I know how to learn more quickly.

It harms you. One day you'll want to accomplish something and you won't have the tools. There are thousands of musicians who quit for every one having fun. You will have a better, more fulfilling time if you study music.

by hashkb 6y ago
This attitude is problematic. No tool will ever replace fluency, and thousands of hours of tedious practice is the only way to get there. The only way. There are many hacks and shortcuts, but nothing will ever work better for you than your

Live internet jamming is just not possible. It never will be, unless we advance beyond our current understanding of physics.

Live internet jamming will never ever be possible. The tiniest bit of asycnhrony opens up a ton of potential, though.

I have a zillion plugins and vim is still snappy. Plus, editing requires so much less effort that it'd be better even if there was lag, which there isn't.

Is there not a linter that can autofix this? Seems like it shouldn't be a human responsibility.

Panic should stop making editors, and if they _must_ make a new one, they should not continue to make and market "web" editors. There is a class of tech workers who find apps like this and then stop exploring. As a result, they b

And then when you go back to something terminal based, like Vim, it becomes clear...
