I'm not familiar with MobX, but I am a big fan of Jotai ( https://jotai.pmnd.rs/ ). It is a spiritual offshoot of Facebook's experimental(?) Recoil library. It is a bottom up approach to state. Everything is modeled

It looks nice and I can see why someone used to VS Code's GitLens would like to bring this over, it seems really seamless. Personally, as a long-time magit user, I'm not sure I see any reason to make the switch. Can anyone more fa

> small details I took a look at your github profile and looked through your csv_builder repo project in particular. It's good, clean code. Well done! Given that you apparently understand what clean code looks like, I can't hel

Oh c'mon graybeard, you can't honestly be defending 1500 line components right now can you? It's not even a matter of abstraction choice, it's a matter of simple hygiene. You know what's worse than the wrong abstrac

I'm curious to know if you or anyone else reading this has run into the opposite problem. Or maybe I'm just "that guy" although I am reasonably certain that I am not. As a rule, so far throughout my 5 year career as a fu

Personally, I agree that base Emacs is not ideal for most users. Ultra-customizers will feel out home, but the typical dev will not. On the other hand, I am a huge proponent of Spacemacs. It's technically just a custom Emacs config, bu

I agree that TypeScript leaves something to be desired, but it is far and away a better alternative to pure JS. TS may not be total, but it comes close enough to get the job done for the dynamic environment it's meant to target assumin

In practice, the latter scenario seems rampant, at least IME.

Curious to know what kind of marketing efforts you took for these if any? Any marketing budget to speak of? They look like really well done apps, congrats on (kind of) exiting the rat race!

I've used that kind of information throughout my life as a marker to help me determine when it's time for me to move on to the next "stage" of development of my skill. It is similar in spirit to the quote (paraphrasing),

I've always enjoyed the oatmeal's comics. What is your reason for referring to him as an idiot?

I hadn't considered the transparent moderation logs before but that's a great idea, so props to lobste.rs for that. Not sure that I've seen Aether before either, I'll have to check it out sometime.

Well that would be a start but I think it's pretty obvious you would want to base subscribers' voting power on duration of subscription, community involvement/contribution, their standing in the community and so on. This way

I have long held the position that the role of subreddit moderator should be elected by their respective communities rather than handed over to the first person to grab the namespace. There's no reason this position couldn't be de

Would highly recommend Tailwind if you don't like the boxed-in nature of most frameworks. Tailwind is more of a design system than a CSS framework. It simply gives you guidance on establishing proper constraints of your design system a

I can attest to this method. Similarly to the GP, at some point in my early teens while swimming at a small lake, I decided to try swimming across the lake (more of a cove) and back. I was never a great swimmer but I was confident I could m

Maybe a little embarrassingly, but I've tried to read it a couple of times and usually bailed around chapter 3 or so due to boredom. I think I know the type of wordiness you're referring to and my term for the type of person that

Ugh, you're right, compassion gets the better of me yet again. To be honest, her brave stance has really made me feel so lucky for the way I was able to live my 16th year. Hard manual labor for low pay during the summers, social anxiet

I highly recommend Ramez Naam's Nexus Trilogy.[1] I think Naam's take on the genre hits a lot of the bullet points others in the thread have cited as desirable characteristics in their ideal sci-fi. It takes what is in my opinion

You're looking at it from a zero-sum perspective when in actuality the ever steady march of science and technology means our situation is anything but zero-sum. It never hurts to be cautious, but total pessimism isn't warranted ei

You're completely missing the point, not seeing the forest for the trees. Take any reasonably intelligent human, say a valedictorian from your hometown high school. Now consider a system with the same intellectual capacity for reasonin
