If you think npm is less buggy, you haven't been paying attention after the npm 5 release. Or when npm had an obvious race condition that resulted in publish breaking at random for years. Let's not pretend npm is slowed down by be

Yes, clearly the web was better when half the sites were broken because you didn't have the latest version of Flash/Shockwave/Java and the entire website just showed a sad rectangle. There's nostalgia and then there&#x27

So you "got out" of JS around 2006, before module systems, before node.js, before anything resembling modern build tools, before even jQuery was really a thing (it was created that very year), before all development tools (fireb

When new features and built-ins are added to the language, HN complains about JS becoming bloated with feature creep. When built-ins remain missing from the language, HN complains about JS being useless and "inverse NIH". > All

Not surprised you're being downvoted for calling out HN for it's anti-JS bias. But there are indeed still several module systems in use: * globals (i.e. none) * CommonJS * AMD (just kidding, nobody uses this for new code) * UMD (w

It's very easy to upgrade React incrementally. The only problem is that it's likely not so easy to upgrade your related dependencies incrementally. Especially if they use internal APIs or aren't regularly updated.

I've migrated two applications from React 15 to 16 and it was completely painless. I only had to bump all dependencies to the latest version. Literally the only reason a migration could be painful if you're on the latest version o

Ah, interesting. Odd that even the article only describes them as "filoplume-like" not simply filoplumes. But based on what I find when I search for "filoplumes" it seems their function and evolutionary origin isn't

Except in this case they're breaking forms that disable autocomplete for legitimate reasons. If there is never a valid reason to disable autocomplete and therefore "the standard is wrong", there are ways to change the standar

How is this different from websites that think it's okay to force you to abide by ridiculous password restrictions (e.g. 6-8 characters, must include digits, upper- and lowercase letters, and special characters but no quotation marks o

Oh god yes. The other day I saw a marabou bird in a wildlife documentary and was surprised by the hair-like stuff on its gular sack (the pink bag hanging from its neck). Wikipedia doesn't mention it and if you search for "marabou

A common misconception is that adding JS to HTML (e.g. in forms) _hurts_ accessibility. In fact, foregoing JS in favour of "pure" CSS+HTML can actually be much worse. Yes, you can create certain interactions with CSS alone but doi

Except "react-renderer" is just React. As some people who have been paying attention said from day one: other than the component model and unidirectional data flow, what makes React stand out is that it's ultimately a way to

So in other words: the main reason removing the React code in the frontend in this case gave such an immense performance benefit is that the logic used to compute the rendered UI is significantly more complex than the logic necessary to mak

Have you experimented with different brands for Cat A? Mixing in treats seems like the least healthy option long term. I've had good success with Applaws.

Plenty of apps on Android are allowed to draw over other apps (e.g. Facebook messenger, Lux Auto Brightness). There are also apps that use the accessibility APIs to determine what the user is seeing (e.g. LastPass with AppFill enabled). I t

The Duden doesn't define correct spelling, it merely documents it. It's decidedly not a prescriptive work. What you're likely thinking of is the German orthography rules defined by the Rat für deutsche Rechtschreibung and i

As you seem to consider the MIT license insufficient, you evidently don't use any mainstream modern JS library. Tell me again why you think your opinion matters or contributes anything to the discussion?
