Exactly. Without new features and syntaxes people would still be doing MyClass.prototype.method = function () { } like idiots. Such a meaningless argument for preventing progress.

That's your definition of "useful", not mine. "political aversion"? We are talking about money and business here. If a commercial company wants to ship a product without reinventing all the wheels, they are going to

And web development is not game development? And chances are that games don't ship chromium with them?

Nobel prize was awarded to theoretical work in 2021: https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/physics/2021/popular-infor... "theoretical physics" is such a big and ambiguous concept that physicists tend no

Yeah, other than students who get interested in all the hardware stuff (for whom there would likely be dedicated courses), I don't see how general EE courses help computer science study or career. If anyone really needs that later in t

If drivers are actually driving people around and earning money, potentially getting more income in the end, with a trade-off of inconvenience for riders to wait a few minutes for the next ride to arrive, do you consider that positive or ne

Curious -- does this happen to you often? Do you do that for your work (what pays your salary) or personal projects? Do you find it stressful to think about coding all the time?

It is a cool concept, but anyone who listens to enough podcasts know that hosts have personalities and interests, and productions usually have their styles, focus and quality. These features make podcast channels unique and make you want to

How many people use Pages these days? I don't think Apple even mentions the product in their WWDC these days. My guess is that most people either use Microsoft suite as required by their employer or use cloud based knowledge base/

Eh, GitHub CoPilot? Microsoft is literally THE company that understands developers' workflows and creates good IDEs.

by rty32 2y ago
Definitely good news, but to put it in perspective, that's about 0.75x - 1x annual salary for an experienced developer that works on compilers. My *guess* is that Microsoft spends at least 10-20x that amount of money on TypeScript annu

When I develop tools/real products for others, I try to come up with the best defaults and provide the best experience out of the box, because most people don't ever touch settings. On the other hand, I think it is important to ha

"walk out to the taxi rank" I assume you are talking about airports. Guess what, they still exist in many places. And on the other hand, for US, other than a few big cities, the "normal" taxi experience is that you call

The comment could be so much more helpful if it just casually mentioned what people hate web components about. Sigh.

It is not a choice in many situations. For a large company that has many different teams that own many different parts of a product, even though teams adhere to the same "UI standards", things get complicated quickly. For example,

One aspect of this is how you think about UI. The underlying pattern of jQuery is fully side-effects -- you select an element and make some changes to it. Frameworks like React and Vue.js allows to create UI components whose states are comp

In the JavaScript world, jscodeshift and its upstream tool recast are frequently used. I believe you could do the same thing with esbuild and some Rust based tools, but these two are probably the most popular.

Well, that probably happens to some extent, but I am quite confident that some smaller shops will just say "Hey make an app that works 50% of the time and that's good enough." then fire half of the staff. Oh, not just smaller

If I understand your comment correctly, you are saying laws are bad, and decriminalization/deregulation is good I would very much like to believe that. But see what happened in Oregon after decriminalizing drugs.

Indeed, you can't argue state lotteries aren't gambling. But hey, there is a wide spectrum of how bad each form of gambling is, and lottery is very much on the lower end of it. Very, very few people spend $200 a week on lottery ti

Silly take: humans are really bad at controlling themselves and stick to doing the correct things, that's why newer languages like Go and Rust force you to check errors in return values, among many other additional checks/guardrai

Somewhat off-topic: WordPress has proven that there is still a market for WordPress-style CRM and managed solution even in 2024. Why hasn't a strong, open source competitor emerged over the years? Because if there is an alternative, th

Sounds like your family is much, much richer than the general population, so your experience probably isn't super meaningful to other people.

Even from the west coast it's a 6 hr flight. Combined with time difference, it often means 2 days on travelling alone. Even worse for people in mid west or near west coast, which is the majority of where the population is [0]. For most

Guess what? Most people who end up buying this product won't care about any of these. (P.S. Apple is much worse than you think. Look up Apple's first party tracking.)

People have said that for many years. Very few companies are choosing Google's TPUs. Everyone wants H100s.

And I suppose CPA exists to help understand tax laws, and there is always a possibility to sue the government if you don't agree with them on how the law works. Whereas with app store reviews, it's a black box with no option other
