Because I agree with most of it, but you called for a flame war, I'm going to jump in. snake_case, is obviously the more readable. In fact your point shows this cognitive dissonance we all have to a certain extent. You argued (and I ag

I value code well written, maintainable, and testable but sometimes I'm a bit put off on certain conclusions. Once I read a report by a guy who had come in into a business to re-work an, by his words, unmaintainable mess. This had been

Used it a few times and it's pretty amazing what you can do with it out of the box.

I personally don't agree. Even with something like a login form. If you keep on improving it with what you learn whenever you need to re-implement it or extend its requirements you end up with at least a re-usable "architecture&qu

That's true, but it would be fun to look at the comments and always be one of those in the top with a bunch of human written replies. Almost a dadaist poem.

Yeap, the biggest problem in my view is not the usage of other technologies other than web, is that those technologies don't transfer. I would be fine with other technology that allowed the interop, I've written quite a bit in js

I have nothing against todo apps, on the contrary! In fact any improvement in that area/tools can easily affect thousands/millions of people, because organising work/projects/collaboration is needed everywhere. What I wo

Wow, one twitter thread worth reading. I think this is one of the reasons that sincerely the browser should be normalised, have a consistent API across all platforms (including performance characteristics, and native things like movement, s

I have thought about this in regards to Nix but as far as I could conceive, it seemed that: a) you can definitively generate content that will be hashed to the same value - this is a given since anything that compresses a source into a much

Yeap, I used this, but I had to setup a lambda, then get chrome in it, then use puppeteer. If this was something that you could programatically trigger from JS then you could have a button "Export to PDF" and just make a downloada

> Browser pdf styling is quite good actually It is but I remember going through so many hoops to do it, when a "browser.export_pdf()" would have been so handy. Does yours live in some repository online?

by hnedeotes 6y ago
The only thing I don't understand is why browsers doesn't expose an API for this? Or whatever it sends down to the printer menu, since you can already save a page as PDF? And the same for bare pictures since the rendering engine h

But the thing is that now the car has to know about the world. If there's a wall on the driver side how can it open the door? I'm not dogmatic on OOP vs FP, but let me take the side of FP here, we could model this as the car being

I only had time to go through the gentoo one. Although I never used gentoo and think that minimal perf improvements like those mentioned throughout are silly in exchange for having to know all the incantations and borking your OS every othe

The only one being patronising is you? How would this, hypothetical vapourware distribution system, steal your, or anyone, choice of doing whatever you want with your code? I think that if you read this and that's your conclusion it wo

Yeah definitively. But when I wrote that, I meant you as an individual consumer wouldn't need to worry about that. Or someone who writes libraries or packages. Only if you were running a for profit business. The remaining would have to

Yeah the word profit was badly used. We could imagine it would be a regular cost and just like you wouldn't be able to forfeit paying for printer paper because you're not turning a profit you wouldn't either in this case. The

Given it was open source you could see that happening? You could just like, choose the dependencies you wanted to use. Like vote with your wallet or something.

by hnedeotes 6y ago
Well, given that you could decide the things you use, I would imagine things would move towards some sort of cleanup? And open source maintainers would be open to refuse PR's like they're now?

So, if 0 is sustainable, this would also be? You mean they would become a non-profit so they wouldn't have to shell 50 bucks a month? The dependency values wouldn't need to be $0.01. Maybe if the theory about free markets is true,

I think it's better than nothing to be honest. The only thing is, it's voluntary, so in that sense it's always a bit like charity, and it's always towards a given project at large and not spread. But I have no horse in t

Yes, imagining what I was saying it would be mandatory if your company was making a profit while using software that agreed to this. The difference would be if you're setting up a blog to share your permaculture posts, you wouldn'

Well perhaps this vapourware platform would have an option for you to redirect whatever funds to somewhere else? (while making it clear on your package page that you were doing so)
