I was more referring to the essentially mandatory third party packages that you need with react, react router, redux/whatever you please, something for your styles, something for forms etc. With angular you just use what comes out of t

In other words, the honour system. People will just be good by themselves, despite all of the incentives to act badly. Good luck with that. I find it interesting that in any real life situation people would want rules to protect people from

What’s your point, that we can’t ensure perfect rules so let’s not have any? By extension we can’t ensure perfect government or laws so let’s not bother? I’m looking for a more charitable interpretation but there isn’t one. Maybe some level

So when you have user configurable sass variables, css in js might make things easier. That seems like a fairly narrow use case, I’m not willing to sacrifice separation of styling everywhere in every component in every react app because it

Logic, layout and style are inherently separate parts of a component. Separate concerns in other words. Ideally they should have separate definitions. This is the cleanest and most maintainable structure. The cycle seems to be to separate t

I think it likely you’d just be replacing one set of neuroses with another. I’m not even sure what “keeping your identity small” entails, other than assigning more of your merits/demerits to extrinsic factors, or in the Asian case to f

Pretty simple: Disallow posts about the subject of the storm. Do so with the explanation that it is a moral good to prevent this kind of dogpiling and that those taking part should be ashamed of themselves.

It can’t be engineered, it can only be enforced. There have to be rules against these kinds of storms and those rules have to have some sort of effect. Social media platforms have to be actively moderated. There is no alternative to this. H

Thanks for the explanation. Yes that’s correct, it’s the same concept as css modules but with scss instead of css. I have to say though that this doesn’t seem like much of an advantage - it boils down to not having to create class names and

by jf- 8y ago
Sorry but I don’t get what you mean, and I can’t see where in the article you are referring to. What do you mean by wrangling with classnames? Do you mean clashes? That’s what modules do, they scope your scss so that you don’t get clashes b

What's the advantage to this over sass modules? You have the same scoping but with better separation of concerns, that seems the superior choice.

by jf- 8y ago
What about sass modules? Independent .scss files per component, with no class name clashes. Or are you counting that as css in js?

I suggest training a tensorflow model with foodstuffs labelled by a large group of, say, 100,000 human volunteers, carefully selected to be demographically representative. Only then can we know the truth.

Yes, but as you point out, those applications don’t need a blockchain to be involved. You’re just running an app somewhere that takes in data and transfers funds held in escrow. I agree that there may be uses for that kind of automation, bu
