The original title says “people with a broad range of disabilities” so I agree with you, but only for that reason. I can’t stand the way that HN changes titles. Otherwise, I’m not going to tiptoe around people and change my speech patterns

JavaScript is more enjoyable than Python to me. You can’t really say no to that. IMO JavaScript is for people who want to get things done quickly and efficiently and have their program work everywhere. Python is for people who like to thin

No, they are moot. I've built several 100k+ LOC apps with JavaScript. You have no clue what you're talking about.

Nothing is stopping you from generating JavaScript code to do what you want. You don't need reflection to do that. I'd hate to see Python become as popular as JavaScript and to have it be used as the defacto standard in browsers b

My Macs have all crashed more than my beautiful and stable self-built Windows boxes and just about every time I get in front of one of my Macs, I have to restart it for updates. I’m pretty meh about telemetry. At the basic level where I hav

OK fine. I see a lot of people using homebrew. What about python? You have to replace the built-in one don’t you?

I bet you don’t use the graphical installer on your Mac though do you? Why is that? What do you do instead?

That's why I use Windows. It's got better file and window management than Mac, more software, more hardware and more hooks to let me do what I want. Not only that - it's way, way easier to setup my dev tools for things like

Well, I would say to push on GitHub and mirror to GitLab, but GitLab only allows that with their enterprise edition - https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/workflow/repository_mirroring.htm... So to use both you’d have to pu

Yeah but the rest of the Mac will drive me crazy so it’s a good trade off IMO. If I had to use a Mac all day I would miss all of the simplicity of using Windows for things like browsing files, managing application windows, having buttons wi

And yet, Amazon has given the world way more value than Apple could ever hope to in its lifetime. If Apple shut down tomorrow, nothing would really change. If Amazon shut down tomorrow, they’d bring down everybody.

I don't need a babysitter to tell me when to stop doing things, but I'd love to be able to login to YouTube without having to be logged into the rest of Google. That's one reason I think Twitch is killing YouTube in live-stre

Seriously? Another user posted "can't read this; can we get a non-facebook link please" - is that substantive? Or, are you just picking on my comment because I phrased my concern differently? Also, "a lot of unsubstantiv

Apple is just like any other western company - their shareholders and chiefs don't really give a fuck about privacy. They only care about their bottom line. If China demanded that someone from your company sacrifice a new-born baby i

It seems like choosing a screw drive is almost as difficult as choosing which programming library, framework or environment to use. Well, maybe not. New ones probably aren’t added quite as often.

It worked fine on Mac so I presume that much of the work was done to make it work on other UNIX systems.

Yes different threads, same process. If you wanted to use React to render a view for a Golang controller, you’d have to embed a JavaScript engine in your Go process or vice-versa. That’s why I like the idea of a multi process desktop UI kit

by hungerstrike 8y ago
Yeah and besides all of that stuff you can’t even have proper UI components without JavaScript.

I thought React ran in-process for native apps.

by hungerstrike 8y ago
React is great, but I really like the idea of multi-process desktop apps, where the rendering happens in one process and one or more controlling processes pipe events to and from it. That way you could use any language to build your control

I love to know about the world of bugs. They seem like little aliens to me. Imagine if humans had developed some of those cool exo-skeletons or wings. (And why didn't we?? I'm jealous!) Despite my fascination with them - I freak o
