I wrote one and it's the only software I still maintain and am proud of. I'm kind of inventing a new React like thing in it. It's way cool.

TypeScript is no headache for me and has no header files.

It's a false dichotomy to dislike OOP or prefer it. It's like saying I prefer hammers over screwdrivers. Just learn how the tools you have should be used and use them well. The only app I'm currently maintaining and proud of[

Having written ObjC since 2009 or so, honestly it's a fine language, and although I wrote a fair bit in Swift, I don't really see it as a significant improvement over ObjC, which is Good Enough™ to keep using. Something has to cau

> where the term becomes meaningless Sure, you're welcome to just stop examining thoughts at the surface level and not dig deeper. Other people here seem content with that. I'm not.

That's still following an objective perceived benefit: quenching a passion and satisfying curiosity.

You have an implicit assumption that the benefit of learning information always justifies the effort and time spent on learning it. I don't think that's a given or true.

Not everything said is worthy of being heard. True yesterday, today, and forever.

Our models of science are all going to be slightly wrong if there actually is a divine being that intervened in the events of history and changed or updated the laws of nature six distinct times during the genesis of the reality we know and

Yeah see there's the logical fallacy. Thanks for confirming.

Absolutely this is where we diverge. The nature of logical fallacies is that you generally can't recognize when you're committing one. In this case one of us is, and by definition neither can know which. To resolve that, I don&#x2

Hey Jesse, hope you're doing well man. You and I talked about this topic a bit in the past, and since then I've had a little more insight into these issues: 1. Burnout happens when we don't believe in a cause or our belief in

I genuinely feel like there's two camps of professionals: those who know how to do something and do it extremely well; and those who know how to describe something and break it down very well. The former are the ones making the magic h

The burden of proof has already been sufficiently provided by Christianity. Just because many people don't accept it doesn't mean it's not acceptable.

This uses emscripten. Still cool but I was kind of hoping it would have been written in pure TypeScript.

There's a psychological basis for people taking pride in a difficult task learned and mastered, and many organizations take advantage of this by creating a culture that rewards this effort when put towards their own products with socia

It's a logical fallacy to say that a common experience is the only experience, and that fear therefore should be lessened. Perhaps the fear is there for good reason, and perhaps there is a soul and there is moral judgment at death and

Also, why haven't we just standardized on JSX being sugar for {tag,attrs,children} literals? Then it can be manipulated at runtime however anyone wants, and we would have had so much fewer problems with basically everything around it.

by sbjs 3y ago
Also it was very tempting to have JSX compile into literal strings, effectively being a composable variant of tagged template literals with better IDE support, so that <a href={123}/> compiles to a function that returns `<a

So, couple facts about this SSG's design that nobody will ever read: 1. It's hyper-efficient with how it reloads modules, to do the absolutely least amount of work necessary. If a file hasn't changed, it's not touched. I

So cool to see the web reader of archive.org in use on another site besides mine[1]. Also neat how this bridge between the two topics of archaic language and slang is the same one that I cover in my viral tiktok[2], which retells ancient st

Good point. I actually did that a few days ago with an extracted lib that became out of date within a day or two, so I made that repo private. This is evolving so fast that I think the same might happen with the readme. That said, the sourc

Overall I'm not super happy with web components to solve the issues of reusability, conciseness, and self-containment. The most direct problem is styling issues. Cross-component CSS in either direction has some serious limitations. I&#
