If the choice was between building a traditional app from scratch, or building an SPA from scratch, then I think the article would have a solid leg to stand on: building an SPA from scratch does involve finding ways around things that bro

Value-add to the people who actually use github to build software, of course. It's fine to discuss license terms and what you should or shouldn't expect when you use github/npm/etc, but in the real-world JS landscape, ma

I don't know what exactly France did and why it does or doesn't work for them, but the article was less about the net number of new cases, and more about the impact of shutting down schools/society. We know that, if you'

It's amazing to me that this article presents the "hard choices" as mostly "should we trade off harming children against harming adults ?", rather than "should we trade off not harming anyone against peop

This is highly unlikely, similarly to claims that eating cruciferous vegetables will lead to gassy breast-fed babies. Breast milk isn't the distilled contents of the parent's stomach. In contrast, alcohol (for example) is a proble

> blaming it 100% on Facebook is not fair. The problem is that humans are never 100% rational. If the audience for Facebook was purely rational robots, then sure, you could make the argument that since they should just be able to stop ca

Facebook decides what you see. That they have created an algorithm that "maximizes engagement" is just another way of saying that they've decided what you should see is what they believe will keep you most "engaged"

I've used Framer Motion, but not Framer. The barrier to having a UX team switch to a new tool is significantly higher than an engineering team choosing an animation library.

> Gate checked luggage comes to you on the skyway not at the luggage claim That's not a given. At least as many times as not, I've gate-checked luggage and had to pick it up at baggage claim with everyone else.

Overhead bins are a bit annoying, but for me, less annoying than having to stick around waiting for the luggage to be unloaded. If you're lucky it's quick, but there have been enough times where that hasn't been the case to m

That's... not the point at all? This post is about a law that (to Sweeney's claim) would force founders to sell their controlling stock . This law wouldn't affect "de facto" control of a company -- it would affec

It's more than "not open to general use" -- Apple's ID solutions are explicitly designed so that they only work for on-device authentication, and cannot be used to, as a random example that I'm sure no one will

Not knocking these phones at all -- I'm sure they're great -- but I found it genuinely hilarious that in 2021, one of the features Google chose to highlight, in the main, big "The reimagined Google phones" section, under

Your point about the museum is interesting... but I think you may be slightly missing the point of a museum :) An art museum isn't about teaching kids about the process behind making art -- the brush strokes, the dedication, the frus

I think this is kind of a reductive, attention-grabbing headline. The real intention is "stop equating 'the scientific process' with 'the entire body of knowledge that has ever been produced by people calling themselves

He doesn't have to -- he's making the point that many professional photographers swear by full-frame DSLRs, but there are people who would treat that with the exact same dismissal that you applied towards iPhone photos. The implic

I think that's largely true -- if you frequently need to take professional macro shots, you'll already have your own, better setup anyhow, and won't be switching to a phone camera anytime soon. However, somewhat surprisingly

I believe the issue is that the maintainers were explicitly told that they weren't "giving" their projects to the DNF, but rather that the DNF was there to support them , while the maintainers retain complete control. So the

I think this is actually a result of this post being a very savvy PR move. The title and beginning of the post make it seem like she's personally apologizing for merging a piece of code. That's all good and well -- I think her apo

You can believe that dark billing patterns are bad and this change is good, while at the same time also believing Apple should charge developers less -- these are not mutually exclusive.

It has little to do with social status, and everything to do with your implicit assumption that SV salaries are the tech world's equivalent of minimum wage. In reality, SV salaries are the highest in the tech world, not the lowest .
