I'm not gonna try to defend GPs theory, but you're misrepresenting their post. The claim was that women supposedly "fought" for those "5%", in the context of dating apps. OP didn't claim women exclusively

I'm not disputing anywhere that the original PHP has issues, and in fact I'm acknowledging that in the beginning of the first paragraph. Adding additional information and context is not moving goalposts. What I'm actually rea

Familiarity? I've been using the OS for 20 years and still very often struggle to find stuff there. When you have users that spend their whole day in an app, sure: workflows matter a lot and you can't break familiarity. But a sett

Yes it is. It's a method of achieving something or carrying something out . But not only it doesn't matter, I don't think anyone else is interested in a stupid semantics discussion.

Yep. We have a Window Server 2022 VM for testing sites in IE11 (we're in a Microsoft partnership thing so we need IE11 support) and after some recent updates it's been a pain in the ass to use IE even on purpose. Happy to not need

Outlook still used IE11 for some of its functionality up to Office 2021, until Microsoft recently patched it to use Edge. 2013 to 2019 still use IE11 for rendering some functionality inside Outlook. And of course MS Word (!) for rendering e

Same here. Not only the result is the best so far and instantly useable, the website is great to use and the fastest. The voices do lose a bit of character and accent, though. On the other hand that makes my own voice much more useable. Tha

If it weren't websites it would have been native apps. Microsoft alone has made more proprietary native app frameworks for Windows in the last 15 than hipster Javascript developers had to learn new frameworks for work.

I never claimed you argued for that. I'm simply stating the cost of each solution. Thrift is definitely much simpler in practice in all cases, except the case I mentioned as being an exception.

The solution to this completely hypothetical an unrealistic problem is to just not have too many partials to begin with. Which is the reality of 100% of the apps made with the libraries/frameworks I mentioned, WebForms, PJAX and Turbol

Your understanding is correct. Virtual DOM never promised better performance than pre-rendered static HTML. It only achieves better performance (and better UX) than dumbly re-rendering the whole website whenever the underlying data changes.

I wouldn't call it reinventing. We're just using newer client-side frameworks to also render things on the server, because for lots of people there is a clear advantage in using such frameworks rather than old templating engines

While Vanilla-PHP was definitely mostly just doing text substitution and had injection issues, there were other languages and template engines that were able to fix this by having more sensible defaults where raw-html interpolation is not a

That's definition is definitely not widely accepted, however some people seem to believe it is. So I guess it's open for debate.

I mean, sure, there were "web pages being rendered on the server" back in the day. But that was the rule, and there was no name for it. Wikipedia's SSR page used to be called "Server Side Scripting", which is kind o

Tree shaking could help, but an issue is that in bigger libraries there will often be shared abstractions that wouldn't be present in a more targeted implementation. Even libraries that are well architected and have good separation of

Same. I waited a couple months to buy my M1, so when I got it everything I needed was running fine. There were a couple libraries my company needed that didn't have ARM support but I ported them and made pull requests to the repos, and

You probably don't need a bootcamp. You're experienced enough to get good by doing courses online. Just get over the fear of picking technology that will be outdated and do a course right now. Vuejs or React for the frontend and L

If you can explain why you're going back to junior, employers will be more than ok with it. Today it's not uncommon to see people changing careers in the industry, you seem to be going from a freelancer/"webmaster"

I'm gonna agree with you. I get lots of weird random artifacts in Unreal. Sometimes it's a weird "vibrato" on some words, some words are unrealistically raspy. Plus it's a bit too sibilant in general compared to AWS
