Offtopic but the phrase "the pedantic cadence" is new to me and I love it, thanks. I now finally have the words to express that "this feels like LLM output, and it annoys me, but I can't put my finger on it why" fee

How can an HN comment be clickbait? It's just fun nerdy banter. Obviously "both" is the better word choice here but then GP couldn't make the joke about number 6 could he?

In case the author reads HN, I just wanted to share that I was rather irked by the writing style, the way it adds all kinds of weird irrelevant bits of info that don't actually clarify anything (eg "the same phenomenon Einstein wo

I just can't get over the fact that this starts with > This is a big change, but it’s not an “Our Incredible Journey” post and then never, nowhere, at all, makes clear that the post means "We're shutting down Glitch".

This is unnecessary complexity. My rant is against that exactly. You're defending confusing shit that doesn't get any better from being confusing. If all countries had a different currency, things would be clearer too. Ask any Aus

To be frank, your comment just reads to me as a "stockholm syndrome" type reaction to a needlessly complex unit that you're intimately familiar with. You see the same in HN threads where people complain that eg Git or Rust ar

Here in NL stone is the traditional building material too, so it's not uncommon to see houses built of wood, but covered in a thin layer of "wallpaper" ("gevelbekleding") that's made of thin sides of real stone

I love the term "Hyper Typing" and I hope it becomes commonplace. I've long been searching for a phrase with a similar to "premature optimization" (with a similarly mildly-negative connotation) but for overengineere

What's "the NFP space"? I googled but all I find is random local clubs and companies called NFP, none of which look like powerful lobby clubs.

Sure but I only understood that they do "AI stuff" in an agency model after I read the founder's reply to my comment. His reply ("Basically we work with marketers on ai stuff.") is just as ambiguous, and yet immedia

Personally I love it when people do this. It's just.. it saves me the few seconds it takes, every time, to subtract "1" from the number. It's not that hard with "20th century" which I'm conditioned to map

Criminals, by and large, are stupid. They don't think it through. They just do stuff. Most people who worry about silly little details such as "consequences" don't go into crime.

Yeah what a waste of collective brainspace that was eh. If they had promoted them as "custom elements are the best way to distribute components!" then I bet they'd have been much more widely embraced by now, by merit of not o

And they're right! IMO Lit is a marvel of engineering. I think the goal they set themselves (make it easier to build an entire app out of web components) is silly, but given that goal, they hit a total homerun. It's fast, the co

Sure but this page is about not using a framework. Once you're on board with using a framework like Lit, you might as well use Preact or Svelte or a similarly lightweight framework. The "web component" angle adds no value if

Can't put those in templates though. It's a serious pain and completely unnecessary.

I support the general idea here but just because something is in a browser doesn't mean it's a good formalism. Notably, Web Components. They're fantastic for distributing components - after all, a Web Component will work in

Wow this is extremely well done! All the defaults are chosen so well to make simple inputs get pretty results. The interpretation of the result value, the scale of `t`, the colors, it's all not trivial at all to get right! Hats off

Yeah sorry, stupid choice of words given the subject. I meant paying them for the privilege somehow, which has been Redis (the company)'s goal this whole time. GP suggests OSL3 solves this and I'm trying to figure out how.
