This is exactly the thing we need fixed. I get that Angular has one way of doing it, but I still feel like it's going in the wrong direction (too Java-like).

Qt seems to have a very strong niche market share, but to this day I still can't tell exactly who is using out commercially outside of maybe a few bigger name Linux utilities.

Right, and that's what I'm recommending we in general try to innovate on: better state management than React, but with the ease of writing view components that React has showed works well. Since the view is hierarchical, it makes

I distinctly remember the phrase "V in MVC" being prominently displayed somewhere on the official React website(s). Found it: https://web.archive.org/web/20140329114924/http://facebook.g... &gt

React is intended to be a view-only library but in practice people shove all their business logic in there, mostly because React makes it incredibly hard to do anything else. Because of this, innovations in React are going in the wrong di

Oh I just assumed Download linked straight to a zip file or something so I instinctively skipped over it.

Do you have proof of the US government kidnapping people and forcing them to learn another language? Edit: it was mentioned in a previous edit of parent comment

For thousands of years, the majority of humanity would answer that question with a resounding "of course not." Even in antiquity, only a very small niche of people would say that it is cruel, and they lived in a very localized are

Both "Zero" and "Cipher" come from the same Arabic word "ṣifr" and whenever I remember that, I tell whoever's near me.

The next paragraph gives a little more context: The SQLite website (https://www.sqlite.org/) uses SQLite itself, of course, and as of this writing (2015) it handles about 400K to 500K HTTP requests per day, abou

If you have a relatively small set of users, setting up your own database is usually as simple as setting it up locally and you won't need shards or anything. And setting up backups is as simple as adding a cron job that calls your bac

Two things that I always reach for Emacs to accomplish are git and file management, via Magit and Dired(X) respectively. Here's a quick cheat sheet of the things I use Dired for: C-x C-j (jump to directory) Open the curren

What, "Runtime Performance Of C/C++ Or Faster" ? Obviously they can't rival the speed of "C/C++" so they're probably going to go with "Faster", which isn't a real language so it's

Could you though? I mean the semantics are so different that the code you generate is probably going to need to be the equivalent of Perl's VM at that point anyway.

by sdegutis 8y ago
The "Pluggable VMs" goal is just a bad idea IMO. The more generic you make an interface, the more you ruin it. Tight integration may make certain things harder, but it allows better control over the pathways for performance optimi

The ad blocker and donation sections hit particularly hard for me, as I've tried to make several web apps/games (like editfight.com) that didn't have a clear monetization path, so I experimented with applying for ads, which G

That's exactly what I hate about Cocoa. Sure Carbon wasn't perfect, but subclassing NSTableView so that you can inject your subclassed NSTableHeaderView just to make some UI tweaks is awful. The entire framework is like this, and

Inheritance works great in mathematics because then it's all about using some laws to compute derived properties, but in programming we use objects for behavior with side effects. So it's like apples and oranges.

by sdegutis 8y ago
I can count on 0 hands how many times I have used inheritance in the past 6-7 years. And if you don't count times that a framework requires me to use it to accomplish something, like React.Component or NSTableView, then that number g

Health insurance drives the prices up for both patients and health care providers by thousands of percent. It's purely a malicious middleman that steals from both sides and does absolutely nothing beneficial at all. Except create jobs

by sdegutis 8y ago
Well TypeScript also had a huge corporation with infinite budget and a large full time team of contributors and evangelists which probably helped adoption.

Insurance is a legalized scam and it’s a shame it’s been made mandatory for everyone. Literally just a middleman now that does nothing except steal money from both sides. Edit: wow yall are incredibly divided on this comment. I'd love

I've had dozens of interviews for mid-level and senior-level engineer positions in the past 10 months at many diverse companies and gotten offers from most of them (retracted for unrelated reasons), and none of them asked about data st

HN was really interesting because the entire purpose of the site was to engineer and moderate it in such a way that signal is inherently promoted and noise is downplayed. But the fascinating thing to me is that its users have evolved to p

Sure but if a malicious user is going to request access to someone's iCloud, they can probably also access their emails and delete this one. Reminds me of how when I sign into my Gmail from another computer, it sends me an email saying

It has both of those. Most of the tutorial is in the pico8.txt file though.

I liked Semantic-UI a lot in terms of looks , but the React aspect of it is separate, so even though it's done by the same people as the core team, it inherently always lags behind a bit in feature completeness. I especially ran into
