I don’t think it’s React that’s responsible for complicated code. I’ve never seen a large GUI app written in any language or toolkit that isn’t super complicated. I’ve dealt with much worse horrors with “vanilla JS” (aka, a home grown frame

I played around with gjs in 2013, a long time ago. It’s cool in theory but in practice super frustrating to work with. There was no access to normal JS/npm ecosystem at the time; although now the bundler situation probably means you ca

In this situation I’d make a second copy of a bad thing and then try to make the copy good, instead of changing anything in place. But yeah, I totally get the huge upstream fight it must be and I’m not trying to backseat drive… just marveli

I will gladly spend $2500 more of my employer’s money (or even my money) if it can make me 5% faster at my job. If you’re paid $100,000 its already well worth it

I wonder what company they’re describing here. It sounds like so many self inflicted problems that that you could undo or set right in a couple of weeks if you had the time and latitude to make changes across the system instead of being con

Tethering to an iPhone is so easy though - just select it in the Wifi menu. I'm not sure if I'd ever pay for an LTE modem option. I'm sure it would be better efficiency and performance to have it built-in, but I wouldn't

For many years I treated Windows or macOS as a hypervisor - if you love Linux but want the Mac hardware, instant sleep & wake, etc, putting a full screen VM in Parallels or similar is imo better than running Linux in terms of productivi

I don’t think it will “feel” much faster like the Intel -> M1 where overall system latency especially around swap & memory pressure got much much better. If you do any amount of 100% CPU work that blocks your workflow, like waiting f

It’s cool to see new storage engines, thanks for sharing. For transaction, how are conflicts on concurrent transaction handled? What’s the ordering? Are you considering any conditional check operation like compare-and-swap? For example I th

Name of the jar? `java build jar/foo` -> foo.jar, `java build src/dog` -> dog.jar. Dependencies? It's okay to use a dependency list file for these - I guess I don't consider this config compared to the stuff I usua

How possible is it to make your tool "zero-config" by default? I see a lot of comments in this thread and elsewhere on twitter asking for essentially `go build`, `go fmt`, `go test` for Java/JVM. I think the language has quit

Well since the builds tend to be monstrously complicated for some reason, and there’s no standard build tool, maybe it’s more impossible than possible to consider source based distribution. Or it would be like JavaScript where you still nee

I’m not sure regulators would look too favorably on that merger, but also what would that give AMD? Enormous R&D costs and a mid-tier foundry business that’s losing money and unable to support their product lines.

At least as an AWS customer, switching from x86 to ARM looks quite appealing on the balance sheet! Same perf, many less $$$. Certainly there’s a large financial discount incentive for many workloads. A lot of stacks already have good suppor

At least Apple’s x86-64 on ARM64 emulation is quite fast enough for workstation use. If ARM improvement in both performance and price continue to outpace x86, it may become economically advantageous to run x86 “legacy” software under emulat

What do you mean by independent switches? Like it’s vertically integrated manufacturing, or are you saying there’s a mechanical / engineering difference in how the components fit together in the board?

Different designs for different preferences. HHKB is quite classic, it’s been around since the 90s and is just refining and refining the original design. I can’t go back to staggered or flat keyboards since switching to Kinesis Advantage 10

The writable stream will only emit 'drain' if the buffer fills past the limit. In that case, a prior call to `writable.write(...)` would return `false` indicating you should wait for drain before calling write again. Even if your

When you want to await a single instance of a Node EventEmitter, please use `stream.once('drain', (err) => ...)` so you don't leak your listener callback after the promise resolves.

It's so easy to miss a tiny but important detail when working with or discussing Node streams and come out the other side bamboozled by bugs. This whole thread exemplifies why I tell people to stay as far away from streams as possible.
