The reason I didn't respond to the rest of your post is because I can't understand its relationship to your argument. There is no need for deeper understanding here. It's just a substring match.

That's not the whole argument though - the argument is, what is the better alternative?

The "performance angle" isn't really an angle. It gets bandied around by junior devs new to React, but it's not the primary selling point of React - in fact, it's not a selling point at all. Don't believe me? J

Haha, I was wondering how the author did subtitles for the text to speech. Turns out they painstakingly hard-coded every one: https://github.com/AndreiBalan-dev/there-is-no-website/blob/... I'm not even

Write it in React, and if you run into performance issues, there are a bunch of well-known performance optimizations you can make which are easy to discover. It's a well-trodden path that many engineers have walked before. Write it in

I have aphantasia and I play chess (albeit not very well...) Honestly, I think that aphantasia is a bit overhyped; I can do virtually all the things that people with normal mental imagery can do, except I suppose actually visualize the thin

Whoa, thanks for sharing this. I've never seen it before. Crazy and kind of sad how much of a difference there was in the last 8 years.

Your solution looks alright. I think you could use a defaultdict() to clean up a few lines of code, and I don't fully understand why you have two nested loops inside your file processing loop. Here's my solution in TS. const

If you have plenty of potential job leads and you find yourself in the position of sifting through them for the best one, that may be true. That's not the case for most people.

Half of all projects fail because they start with making a load balancer. The other half of projects fail because they become successful and don't have one.

Maybe you gave up before Google released Gemini Advanced? This viewpoint seemed more accurate before it was related, but Gemini Advanced is the third best LLM as rated here [1]. In fact, had second place until a few days ago when Claude 3.5

I don't get this. Obviously Figma already stored all your designs in their cloud. What's the additional problem with also getting AI suggestions back from Figma?

The article says that React was about to make a change, the community pointed out it had bad trade-offs, and React backed off. What does that have to do with Vercel? Where's the problem with React here?

Hm, maybe I'm not seeing the point here, or maybe I'm just too old and crotchety. But it seems to me that Effect provides two things: 1. A way to have strongly-typed errors 2. A standard library, like a better HTTP library and bet

It is actually Effect-specific, because Effect modifies control flow in JS. For instance, if you pipe 3 functions in Effect, you'll have to step through the pipe function to get from the execution of the first to the execution of the n

Very impressive. Can I use it as an external display? I assume not, but that would strongly push me towards buying one.

It is true. If you paste it into TS on its own line, even inside a function, TS will flag 'a' as an unused label.
981.
by johnfn 2y ago
I think this is because {a:1} is a cleverly disguised block statement with a label named 'a', followed by the expression 1. It looks bad, but it never comes up in practice because {a:1} is only parsed as a block if it's at th

Man, where is the hacking spirit? OP posts a very cool, impressive hack and all everyone can talk about in the comments is how it actually isn't interesting to them.

It's as if you're responding to a different comment than the OP. GP talks about dealing with many years of hardship, no food, losing their house and car, and so on. Tolerating that and coming out stronger doesn't seem like do
