The idea is good, the implementation isn't quite ideal. Its possible to fully model SQL as it is with a query builder in a 1:1 unambigous manner, in a way where absolutely nothing about "plain SQL" is faster. I know SQL. I do

Things like this is why I've always been a fan of LINQ. Not only do you get excellent first class language support for writing and composing queries, you also get a very good typechecker to ensure that stuff are the right shape.

This was not the only design possible. The main problem with lifecycle methods was that you couldn't have multiple of them. There is absolutely nothing about the design of React that necessitated hooks to fix that issue. You could have

I mean, I would really like us to fully understand nutrition, and I'm optimistic that we eventually will... its just that we don't, right now. Not really.

The point of the naturalistic argument is actually a good one. We keep pretending we understand all the mechanisms and yet we get baffled over and over when we do enough processing and even though the ingredients are all still there it turn

That's the thing though. They may be 'found' in one place or another, but it seems that the surrounding chemicals matter quite a bit more than we thought.

I've never used htmx, primarily because I like the concept of "components" so much. (They serve two needs - standardizing larger blocks of UI and encapsulating them with an alternative interface, and providing islands of rich

The one thing I dislike about jq is that it treats many-things and one-thing the same way. This PL design choice is IMO fraught with peril. Its the reason why jq can't have a "slurp" filter. Treating many-things the same way

For some reason, I find it really grating how most deep learning stuff are pretty much impossible to do without paying quite a bit to a 3rd party service by the hour. Its one of the rare things in computing that you can't get started w

Why do you think it doesn't make sense? In the worst case inventing AI before solving economic and political problems could potentially cause a massive societal collapse, hunger and/or poverty. I think it makes perfect sense to

No, just ignore aspects that are prone to spam and bring little value.

Since this is federated, you're not limited to "mastodon settings". You can choose to simply ignore follow requests fully, or to not show them to the user, or whatever else you wish.
