I'm going through this now. Once I start selling (hardware product), the cat is out of the bag, and further development becomes more difficult because there are paying customers. And we don't have the capacity to scale up if we &q

It depends on the app. If the app has many hundreds or even thousands of DOM elements, there's no way to make that work smoothly with React or any other library or framework. Then a canvas based solution can fix things. I know, I'

This is the first sane comment in this entire comment section. So much nonsense in here, but I guess I should expect that when JavaScript is in the post title.

Apple only "wins" by charging exorbitant prices that idiots are willing to pay to have a digital status symbol. What they have not "won" is market share. They have always been an "also-ran" in market share. And

lol, directory opus? I was using that on the Amiga way back in the day. I tried it like a decade ago, but it didn't stick for me. It doesn't seem to run on Linux, and it costs $$$, so no chance I'll try it again.

lol, no, they sucked even more in the 1980s. Did you ever notice that "About this software" is the first thing on the first menu of every application? Is that because people have to know what version of the software they are using

It honestly doesn't surprise me. Apple is not some bastion of good design. They are mediocre at best, always have been. It was pretty hilarious to me that for so many years the keyboard on iOS only had CAPITAL letters. No matter the st

No, Hillary Clinton does not count. Hillary Clinton is not currently a prominent politician, hasn't run for any office in over a decade , and lost the election during the timeframe when she said that. So you're reaching pretty fa

I'm going to call bullshit on that. They likely had stock on-hand that they purchased before the tariffs. I have a hardware startup (parts imported from China, assembled on-shore), and I guarantee you that my customers are paying for e

Almost no change in economic policy has immediate effect, including tariffs.

A part costs what a part costs, and the consumer is always going to be the one who pay for that. If tariffs raise the price of the part, then the consumer pays more for the product the part is used in. The cost of the part goes up (becaus

Pretty sure it was claimed that using "AI" would mean people would need to work less. So they aren't practicing what they preach, and in fact the opposite.
