That's probably true. Forgive my enthusiasm. I have no dog in the fight.

If that was their goal they failed miserably. In reality, AngularJS made extra boilerplate and extra spaghetti, leading to its eventual abandonment by Google. If anything, you had to really be an expert programmer to use Angular. I'll

I think the accusation is fair. After all, Google did dump AngularJS entirely into the trash with the incompatible release of "Angular" (without the JS) when they realized what a monster they had made. Like the author says, all of

Perhaps small towns are not the best use case. It certainly is possible to buy things without fiat using it, though.

And it's delightful. Call it the not-a-framework framework. So little scaffolding. So much freedom to make your own framework components the way you want them. Lit makes React and Angular look like crufty, outdated tools.

This is great and funny AF, speaking as someone who did a lot of AngularJS. Thankfully, now we have Lit which is lovely and about as close to bare metal as you can get.

Indeed. Recursion requires that a procedure calls (or recurses over) itself.

Ah, good ole CASE. It's back like mold every few years and this year it's hot and humid. There are no video demos on their site for one simple reason: when you do find one on the YouTubes you'll see that it is very much prog

It's sad to read about the dev headaches caused by today's poor virtualization environments. I distinctly remember that stuff was no work at all at IBM. It didn't interfere one bit with the actual work of coding on the prod

It was so simple internally, they could have ported those tools to a GUI. But GUI's and user interfaces are not something IBM has ever done well (other than command line ones).

Sidenote: In VM, you could spawn a new machines with "physical" storage or drives (Nothing was physical on the mainframe; everything is faked just for you! Awesome.) by typing a single command at the command prompt! If you needed

Just like the PC, they didn't realize it was important until it was too late. In my experience, mainframes are a superior way to develop and run every kind of software. The PC is a crippled, stupid stepchild by any reasonable compari

I read recently that Tesla would be out of business if it weren't for the tax credits and public money they received. That's not much of a compliment to one's business skills.

IBM has amazing support software for mainframes. Their fix tool, for example (SMTP/E) makes individual tapes for each customer to ensure that fixes go on correctly. All the dependencies are resolved for that individual customer by IBM

I used to fix compilers for IBM and we worked on (older versions of) these machines. They were awesome! Coming to the PC business after using mainframes was a sad joke. You should see what it's like working with VM, IBM's virtuali

My favorite thing about Lucid is that they have Tesla DNA but, it seems, a different approach to ethics and PR. I read their entire prospectus cover-to-cover and it is refreshingly free of any Elon-style hype. (Lucid's founder was Tesl

There's a lot of great EV discussion here on HN but I don't see Lucid mentioned very often, which is a shame because they look like a real Tesla competitor and another company that could help bring mass commercialization of EVs, e

That's a terrific use case, albeit super niche. I'm an artist, too. It would be fantastic to have ML help in identifying new paintings or other art (or just ones you don't know) and classifying them as belonging to an artist,

I can see that it would be useful in a professional capacity where having 50,000 photos was part of the job. But I must ask, what do you do with those photos? Do you really cull through them and share them or use them again? 50,000 of the

Pull requests don't mean the code gets integrated. It's just someone sharing a suggestion. Unless that suggestion happens to be on the project's to-do list or it fixes an open bug, I'd say it's unlikely to get mer

Nearly all of those things apply to all currencies. Would that it were true that fiat wasn't used in extortion or manipulated by anybody. Wouldn't that be great. Explain, please, why Bitcoin needs fiat? If two people exchange good
