> Imagine exact past yourself in the exact past situation and tell how exactly it would work that you could decide not the way you already did This does not seem like a meaningful definition of free will to me.

I find the idea that we don’t choose how we act and behave to be strange. I’m with you that memories are inaccurate but the latter point just reads like you fully deny free will and there is not even conscious level filtering or decisions m

Is it true that this is somehow an analogue to how JS development is really ultimately targeting browser-compatible-JS in the end, even though we use the latest ECMAScript features & TypeScript in development? I.e. is it expected someon

Isn't this the nature of trying to capture more profit? Of course, once proven, they would like to vertically integrate; I take this as true in all circumstances

Better to use the browser anyways, your eyes don’t divert from the screen this way. Much more subtle

A bunch of 4mpg 7-8 seaters align perfectly with my criticism of private jets. Actually, I don’t really understand what leads you to think there is any pressure in this space for fuel efficient development. In the space of jetliners, the ai

by nawgz 4y ago
I am citing specific statistics for a specific and popular private jet, as these things are not well analyzed for not surprising reasons. Feel free to prove the point with statistics, semantics are definitely an aside to the point at hand
459.
by nawgz 4y ago
I would, as I did, call regulations forcing stupidity as a lack of meaningful regulation; but I take your point. It is even a problem of negative regulation. Small jets do indeed use jet fuel but have a terrible efficiency proposition when
460.
by nawgz 4y ago
Jetliners have an industry average 51mpg per passenger. Private learjets pull, at capacity, 28mpg per passenger. I’ll let you decide which one of these flies around more often at lower percentages of capacity.

by nawgz 4y ago
Fully agreed. Personal aviation is ludicrously inefficient and still often remains outside of meaningful regulation in key ways like using leaded fuels. Poisoning the globe and locales for one person’s convenience should always be questione

But how can writings and meetings align code that doesn't yet exist? Are you a believer that during writing of documentation, you can anticipate each code challenge and solve it ahead of time?

This rhetoric is crazy from the Fed; unemployment rate needs to go up, wages need to go down, but never a mention of all the unnecessarily printed money or obscene wealth inequality... How exactly are we in a position where the highest chai

That doesn’t sound like it would lead back to obscene valuations decoupled from today’s reality

I don't think I really agree with the conclusion that we would notice that. Lifespans and aging are long-term things and the average person has been eating a lot of different things, everyone has stories of the smoker or drinker who li

In my opinion GraphQL is operating on an entirely different level to SQL in one meaningful way: manipulating structured data Manipulating rows in SQL is easy but doing nested joins and trying to represent one-to-many relationships correctly

Yes, this whole time you’re assuming I’m doing the bare minimum, and that no one could be using the same tools. Yet, here I am, new apps in hooks based react, old ones not, and the same stack delivering great performance in either case - DX
468.
by nawgz 4y ago
Lol, where did you get that I maintain one stable app from? I additionally don’t see how your working conditions relate to churn in JS given that you could use the same stack for each of those projects, as I said, as far back as 5 years ago

I’ve never seen a situation where someone hasn’t tried to rebuild something that’s already working (in a big community like JS land). Some people wanted more performance from their build systems, some people like other languages to do the t
471.
by nawgz 4y ago
They are very much counter arguments to the idea that there is big churn still happening. Webpack 2 was in CRA in 2017 Redux and MobX have been the #1 and #2 state managements for that whole span, and clearly all the observable libs are suc
472.
by nawgz 4y ago
Webpack has been the de facto build system for react since 2017 Competing state libraries is to be expected but picking redux or mobx has let you use the same ones since 2017 JS itself has improved but hasn’t really ever deprecated anything
473.

Good point. For this case, it's easy to imagine - such a construct would infer the function's new return type, and then any call-sites which have a mismatch would require updating. But you raise the real question of how the compil

Can you use the “class MyClass implements MyType” keyword with types?? That might be the only reason if you can’t
475.
by nawgz 4y ago
Why? It has meaningful schemas and therefore type generation, and it performs really well on an implementation like Hasura Surely swagger isn’t a better tool than Hasura and GraphQL-codegen
476.
by nawgz 4y ago
I like to use Hasura to give me full GraphQL access to a PostgreSQL/MSSQL database and then I can use graphql-codegen to get real, schema-based frontend types with no need for more tools than Hasura and graphql-codegen. Not sure that&#

They are very useful. Augmented situational awareness is clearly valuable in a high-risk relatively-low-tolerance environment like driving at highway speeds

Actually, poor people pay significantly (2 orders magnitude) more per unit water than (presumably sometimes corporate) farmers, who are often growing cash crops that make almost no impact on feeding anyone in the area. I don't disagree
