There is no two-way data binding in use here, so you're wrong. The style used is MVC. Do you think MVC is not suitable for multi-person teams? If so how do you explain MVC in Cocoa, ASP.NET Core, JSP and JSF, Ruby on Rails, and Django

See the web app. It is a more productive style of coding. Simple, and no need to deal with hooks and useState and useContext and none of that nonsense.

Most US credit cards return 1%, some return 2%. Another advantage of credit cards is that the bank acts as a mediator in case of disputes regarding the charged amount. Also, rental cars and hotel rooms are only available if you charge them

When you pay cash you are paying for the credit card convenience (the fee that is built into nearly all price tags) without benefiting from it. My bank returns 2% of the charged amount. If I paid cash I would forego this benefit.

What a terrible website. The components are not interactive. They have screenshots instead. And in the left panel when you click on an item you lose the scroll position, and you have to scroll down all over again. The controls and their des

What does this mean for Microsoft? Pretty much everything they do is a copy of some other successful product. Consider Microsoft Loop. Pretty good product. But it is a Warhol'd version of Notion. What is Micrsoft Teams, if not a Warhol

Very thin frameworks can avoid the complexities of React and hooks and useEffect and whatnot. Here's an app written with a 500-line "framework", notice how readable and maintainable it is: https://github.com/w

TypScript can't do that because TypeScript doesn't have any runtime. TypeScript is compile-time only.

by petilon 3y ago
That's like saying the following is incorrect let foo: number; because at runtime you can assign a string to foo. Typescript's type system is for compile-time checking, not runtime checking. The above definition is correct

I think VS Code is great for "light coding", especially Web development. I find it not so great for large projects. For example, there is no comparison at all between Java in VS Code versus IntelliJ.

YouTube TV is for watching broadcast and cable television. It has a different UI.

by petilon 3y ago
A major fail, in my opinion, is YouTube TV. The user interface is horrendous. YouTube TV's UI is mostly images (video thumbnails) and it is hard to see what the currently selected item is. A mostly-text UI, with thumbnail only for the

Steve Jobs did that. He hired A+ players. See here: https://talentrust.com/blog/how-steve-jobs-got-the-a-players... You need to have a vision that top talent believes in, in order to retain them.

How does it matter to the doctor if the car accident was the cause of your issues?

by petilon 4y ago
Right. And going forward, if they take help from ChatGPT they will have to say that less often.

by petilon 4y ago
On the other hand, I have multiple minor issues where doctors have not been able to offer a diagnosis (they just say "I don't know") and ChatGPT has been able to offer multiple possible diagnoses.
