"Social anxiety is more about the fear of being disliked than the desire to be liked" is a better way to summarize the gist of the article than the actual title. And the claim put this way seems pretty obvious.

It's ironic that the chorus of "frameworks come and go, everything will be replaced in 3-5 years" has turned into chiding people for choosing the stable option.

Stylistic preferences could usually be inferred by just looking at the code. Perhaps if code is mid-refactor there may be inconsistencies, but ideal ai coding agent could also look through git history

300ms for network latency both ways, with server potentially doing its own network calls for data to fulfill the request, interpolating the html, and then browser rerendering client seems like a stretch

I am curious to identify what your users are perceiving that isn't be being captured by your metric. If it is accurate and not just rhetoric that MOST of your users are asking for a rollback for purely performance reasons, that is a ve

Because past delays of about 100ms, users lose the sensation of directly manipulating the page. The feel of a page is part of it's aesthetic. Also, immediate feedback reduces anxiety and mistakes (for example duplicate submissions). h

Performance - For pages that have different content for every user, the best performance will be reached by caching the app code on the client, only loading the data needed to render, and rendering once on the client. Rendering on an aws ma

Every single action should have no perceivable latency between the action and the feedback that the action was received. You can implement that with SSR but it is clunky and also requires a lot of JS generally.

Most logic is built in application code because it makes it easy to structure, reason about, and test. Developers should be scared of code that is hard to test and reason about.

Those aren't the main parts of feeling like an app. Feeling like an app means taking an action doesn't load a new page. Feeling like an app means the concept of a page mostly goes away.

The performance gap of running a for loop inside or outside a function call is negligible in most real usage. The premise that you can define best patterns like this, removed from context with toy words like frobnicate, is flawed. You shoul

To call something “virtue-signaling” implies the primary motivation of the behavior is to associate characteristics with oneself. There is a problem with virtue signaling in a discussion if the purpose of the discussion is to evaluate ideas

You haven’t taken actions against me misinterpreting things. Why do you keep virtue signaling?

by nfw2 2y ago
Your statement is virtue signaling according to its own definition unless you've taken action to prevent people complaining about Google.

The claim I am referring to is clearly that Google's decisions become de facto standards. Your claim that the web integrity API is only temporarily cancelled has no evidence supporting it.

by nfw2 2y ago
Most of these business models you refer to rely on some combination of: 1. funding from Google (Firefox) 2. engineering from Google (Chromium) 3. tech giant bundling (Safari, Edge)

Google lost a lot of goodwill on HN since the proposed web integrity api. HN has a strong aversion to perceived attacks on the open web. I personally don’t think it’s fair to single Google out and leave Apple and Microsoft alone. It may be

In the past, too many competing browsers resulted in a frustrating experience for web application developers. Does Google have undue influence now? Sure. But I’m not so sanguine about the alternatives either.

The cancellation of the web integrity api is evidence against this claim.

I agree the imposed embargo re advanced chips between Taiwan and China undermines Taiwan's national security but this contradicts the earlier point that China doesn't care at all about chips.
207.
by nfw2 2y ago
Chinese companies seem to not have much trouble getting a hold of advanced chips, despite the embargo. There is also very elastic demand for less advanced chips despite China's efforts towards autonomy.

by nfw2 2y ago
Even if the desire to absorb Taiwan is ideological, they would certainly also understand the severe practical implications of losing access to their chip production.

yes, specificity wars make it really hard to reuse components across multiple product domains and teams within a large org. by css fundamentals, they just mean what the various style properties do.
