The big difference is Rust and Go are new and learned from their predecessors. If they live long enough, they too will become complicated (well maybe not Go since it’s central design paradigm is simplicity) and seem crusty compared to newer

FWIW, you can replace __dirname with information from import.meta (and 2 lines of JS). It’s not quite as automagic but can yield the exact same info. You’re also right that it might just be a code-smell in general though.

Modern webpack is also much simpler than when it started, as they’ve followed their zero-config northstar (#0CJS) for a while now. Many simple projects can literally run without a config file at all. The config file only grows in relation t

On the flip-side this approach sounds kind of like premature optimization. You don’t have to understand the entire path from pressing buttons on a keyboard to a program causing photons to exit your monitor. You instead trust that large part

You’re basically saying that just because we haven’t been great at general fishery management yet doesn’t mean we won’t get it right next time. But the problem here is that fisheries are literally the textbook example of the tragedy of the

Oh neat, and sorry for missing that. I can totally see why you might have valid reasons for that.

> Two way data binding is not a constant source of bugs Every team using AngularJS _did_ have those problems (not to say it didn’t have some niceties also). It was one of the big architectural changes in Angular (2+) as a direct result.

I guess moving all your logic to the server means you can waste cycles in the CSSOM? /s I’m curious if more explicit selectors would’ve fixed this, since the * exposes you to anything weird about your layout.

There are no web standards in the era of WHATWG. It’s just a living spec composed of whatever vendors build and convince other vendors to add to their own products. Chrome is constantly spitting out new proposals that are already half-baked

Are you saying you basically want a Chrome monoculture? It would be terrible to give that much power to Google.

I actually like that they do this and let me use the UI I know and that will definitely work. 99% your video playback UX is not as good and you mostly want to take over full-screen so you can prevent the user from doing things (you may fall

Google is so good at ad domination they have free space in your head. Safari has a different development process which considers privacy, power consumption, and other user-centric ideas instead of just “how do we beat everyone else down in

Keep telling yourself this. AMP, FLoC, Portals, etc are all browser “innovations” too, are you glad those came around? So many of their features are purely to give Google more ad revenue and power over the internet. I’d be willing to bet th

At some point the alternatives are force-updating your DB or shutting it down. One of those at least has a chance of keeping your service online. I agree the lack of communication is pretty bad though.

Any chance you have Dropbox running? They are very slow to native M1 support and otherwise their app manages to really kill battery life.

Okay, so we make a windowed building that houses 1000+ fewer students and those 1000 are just left to the wolves, paying more elsewhere or joining the depressing ranks of the UC homeless? I’m not thinking ideally, I’m recognizing that the r

So instead of attempting to deliver cheaper dense housing for 5000 students close to campus, we should make a windowed one that houses 3000 and tell the other 2000 to go to Sacramento and start lobbying for new state laws? Or do we instead

In essence, you could describe your stance as forcing all residents to pay a tax for a benefit that you deem is for their own good. In this case it’s windows, but would you support this stance for other reasons? What if it was that all room

Worst? There are multiple axes and this clearly won’t be bad on all of them: - proximity to campus - private bedroom - land used / density - windows - furnishing - common areas - price - etc Worst would be an expensive windowless gymna

Is it really that much money? It’s not like that’s pure profit; mining requires large up-front capital investment to even start. Break that down to 20 years (round number for illustration purposes only, seemingly on the quick side based on

The problem arises when there is no way to differentiate between the user classes. And while I enjoy computing freedom, I’m not exactly proclaiming its value when I have to deal with a DDoS or hear about people getting ransomwared. I know t

That doesn’t mean they aren’t all being price-gouged (per the AG’s complaint) for instance. Paying protection to the mob also strongly correlates with your store not burning down in the middle of the night. We just don’t know how different

There’s a Suspense component that does that catch-and-placeholder functionality much more cleanly now. Suspense hasn’t really taken off yet because it’s not quite fully baked, and thus very few libraries are starting to take advantage of it

There are a lot of things to complain about with regards to California politics, but trying to help citizens and fight Intuit is pretty unassailable. So either the one-sentence comment was on topic and truly endorsed such corporate strangle

by merrywhether 5y ago
Intuit is just really easy to understand as a cut-and-dry example of regulatory capture. They basically maintain the need for themselves entirely through laws that create the problem they solve.

by merrywhether 5y ago
Are you really arguing that corporatocracy is a progressive form of governance? Or do you just believe that companies leeching off society via regulatory capture is better for everyone?
