That’s the only obvious and reasonable answer.

This story is adjacent to some topics I follow fairly closely for various reasons. I had seen a lot of not super well informed commentary on it when it was talked about here previously and so in that spirit I wanted to offer a short 20 minu

I actually think about this I’m entirely the opposite way. The moment all browser APIs especially the DOM become usable from WASM it’s over for JS and would no longer be the obvious choice as it’s suddenly not the only game in town and the

This is an intentional strategy to work around ad-blocking and other data harvesting practices. Just take a look at the privacy information screen in the iOS App Store for example.

This is really one hell of a take… you don’t think it maybe has something to do with the hundreds of kids they are fucking and lying about it? No, It’s the damned progressives instead? It’s literally there in the subheading which I will quo

Why do people humiliate themselves like this?

Because they have spent a long time building out good consumer protection laws. The US could have this also, it’s a political choice not to and is instead more of an enterprise owned state at this point.

This is like talking with a child. I’m going to leave you to it. Good luck.

Obviously nobody is going to convince you that you have a complete crackpot view of the world, that’s kind of the definition of the situation you find yourself in. It’s just incredibly clear that you actually don’t have any kind of meaningf

This is such a ludicrous idea that doesn’t pass even the most basic reality checks. It’s explicitly illegal for a start amongst a whole host of other problems where the incentives make zero sense.

I would argue that it is primarily but not exclusively the React community and it’s surrounding ecosystem. Yes, it genuinely is a mess where people are continually reinventing the same things again and again on a loop and no two projects

Thoughtbot is famously a Ruby shop since their inception, I don’t know that this detail just happened to slip their mind due to ignorance.

This is a million times better than some attempt to talk over the top of the other person an a Joe Rogan podcast and pretending that something even vaguely resembling science or a debate has occurred.

Let’s just assume for now that there could be use cases that aren’t strictly config data.

As far as I knew they have a long standing policy to specifically not use journalists, peace corps or religious figures for non official cover specifically because it was considered pissing in the pool for everyone else. I’m pretty open to

What are you even talking about? Be specific rather than tossing around vague insinuations.

This is very much civility for the sake of civility which is not without problems but is the culture here. Editing the post to remove the word idiotic and replace with uninformed.

You might want to actually go and read a few things about how they differ before making such uninformed statements.

I found the whole experience rather amusing. I’ve spent a lot of time overseas so for me it’s just another iteration on country x’s interpretation on country y’s food and it’s always a fun game to try and reverse engineer in your mind how

Would you believe that this topic is actually more complicated and nuanced than it seems based on this clickbait headline? If anyone wants to see a proper non bullshit breakdown explanation of this topic from professionals I would highly re

This headline really is total bullshit that’s entirely divorced from the reality of the situation they describe. I don’t mean to say there isn’t a story here, there absolutely is, it’s just not the one represented by the headline. The story

It’s really ok to not share every thought that happens to pop into your head.

Seems like this thread is getting suppressed. We have front page submissions that have been around for an hour and have just 7 votes while this one is 45 minutes old and has 35. Weird and non transparent moderation decision.

This is a problem that turns up in Flutter when they compile for the web. The long term answer is the Accessibility Object Model spec currently under development. The current answer is to build a replica DOM structure for accessibility purp

Coming from a Dart context here where that team is also looking at adding Macros to the language. It was really interesting to compare and contrast some of the approaches https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob&

Came here to say exactly this. The language you are describing already exists. HN seems hellbent on pretending it hasn’t changed in 10 years but Dart was very much designed from the POV of what if we took the good parts from both Java and J

I mean one of the pretty clear implications of that research is that there is a real chance those are Chinese aircraft that have figured out how to avoid radar detection and even most close range observation. If that does turn out to be tru

Im sure they will be just as compelling as his last 3 of a random self published audiobook, a known propaganda rag and a random Twitter user posting a Fox News clip.
