You're so right - React is overwhelmingly popular despite its horrid design of running things on the client. No one should ever do that. Make the server do all the work!

‘pnpm’ is great, swapped to it a year ago after yarn 1->4 looked like a new project every version and npm had an insane dependency resolution issue for platform specific packages pnpm had good docs and was easy to put in place. Recommen

I’m not sure if you’re saying the latency was introduced in client <-> server hops or server <-> db hops, but chrome dev tools (I’m sure all browsers too) can simulate different network conditions with a few clicks! Useful for s

I don't really see any relationship between being able to model/simulate the brain and being able to exceed the brain in intelligence, can you explain more about that? Simulations sound like more of a computational and analytic pr

Yes you're right, most users LOVE barebones and classic websites, that's why HN is so popular and Reddit hardly has any users. For that matter, do we really need colors? Just ship it with browser default styles.

Definitely. Those pesky UI engineers are always rewriting and refactoring and reworking stuff. Me, a talented backend engineer? I would never. My code was perfect initially and there's no pressure to show deliverables from my manager s

I do not see the value in making your own ad hoc style, nor does being a decent typist support any such claim. The whole point of home row is that your fingers can ergonomically access every key on the keyboard without requiring you to move

Sorry, am I missing something? They obviously do not control source for these applications, but are able to gain access to whatever benefit the software originally had - reporting, tracking, API, whatever - by automating data entry tasks wi

Has ThreeJS updated to start using X3D ( https://www.x3dom.org/ ) yet? Taking a quick look at [the docs]( https://r3f.docs.pmnd.rs/getting-started/introduction ) linked above, I see the use of Canvas. Fair

Are you suggesting that OxyContin related addiction isn't itself known to be caused by effective pain medication like marijuana being illegal?

It's not like money can meaningfully reduce carbon in the atmosphere at this point in time, so it's pretty much impossible to "earn" the "right" to this type of destructive externality.

Bodies are highly imperfect and suggesting our digestive system and nervous system are geared for being fit and healthy rather than ensuring survival wrt food is absurdly naive.
