Master Of Magic was and is such a masterpiece (and MoO 2 as well). Some of the older games, while often heavily unbalanced with clunky user interfaces, have so much better atmosphere and setting than many of the newer games. Maybe it's

Oh jeezs, let's bury our heads in sand and never get out of our houses. How safe is air travel? Taking a car? Fact is, we take calculated risks every day - some smaller, some larger. Unless you build the plant next to an ocean with on-

That's ridiculously black and white. Putinism is not a stable state for any country by any means, and Russia has been hemorrhaging talent and companies left and right because of it. Your notion of "democracies funded by global eli

Cool, very interesting! Thanks for the summary, I had/have a project that currently uses Solr for quick text search yet the integration has not been totally painless. Also it's kind of ridiculous how much RAM even the tiniest inst

Solr is one of those technologies which works but isn't really glorious to use and is bit stuffy with its XML configurations and Java interfaces. It's a bit of shame, because search engines are so popular nowadays and everybody se

I don't think Apple is necessarily running out of money... And it's bit ironic you call it a tax when clearly Apple isn't a big fan of paying taxes themselves. I know, it's not a very good argument but I don't think

Those who would give up freedom over safety something something.. Should every Apple user have to be tied down to Apple Store because kids and grannies can be dummies when downloading apps? Surely it should be easy to put parental controls

Well I think one thing and which the article describes well, is that colonialism gave external pressure for those nations moving forward. Like being bullied and abused in school before graduating, colonialism gave an identity mixed in with

I think the correct terms would be "web search engine" or "web search" and "search engine" or "full-text search engine". Wikipedia says "web search engine". But I agree, the ubiquity of Goog

It forces the other party to change their behavior or at least gives you leverage to make a deal where both parties would agree on some equal set of rules. Here, the freedom to use US social media apps in China and vice versa. It's an

Now that is a very well thought-out post about the whole ordeal. I don't know why, but from what I've read here and in other sites, people tend to veer off to the extremes when discussing anything these days. This issue being no e

This is nothing new in global politics. Just take a one look at Middle East to see how the world has been since the dawn of human civilization. Not saying it is right, a bit of throwback to the days of yonder perhaps, but I'm not surpr

Well, I disagree. As I said in my other reply - if the intention is that the prop is immutable there should be an error instead of very strange recomputation of the useEffect hook.

by tekkk 6y ago
Sure it could but if the intention of the developer is to run the API call only once per mount, never otherwise, it would be more appropriate to throw an error instead of just adding pointless dependencies. It just seems like a dumb overhea

A recent thing which has been rubbing me the wrong way in React has been the exhaustive dependencies for useEffect and other hooks. Sure, in the case someone would alter say the function provided as props it should be included in the depend

I can agree on that social status of having CS degree in itself is near zero or negative. Which is a stark comparison to doctors or lawyers about whom people in general think possess better qualities than the rest of populace. Yet I'd

While I think the intention and idea is good, you should not teach kids how to play poker. Rather, use a board game with cards and simulate somewhat similar environment but with no inclination towards real gambling whatsoever. Sure, if the

I somewhat understand having to policy keenly discussions that tend to go off-track such as China and its delicate politics and history. Yet it's sad that in order to do that, all comments that veer a little bit to the uncomfortable te

I don't think they are really doing their best. If other Google's support forums are any indicator of their effort, they are mostly trying to automate the whole process as much as possible which then causes errors like this. Which

Hey, nice work. As a webdev who has had to do designer work, I just noticed a small minor thing you could maybe change to make the style better. I myself too sometimes trip on the correct use of borders, and in this case I don't think

It would be interesting though that if USA could make a deal in which they accept the loss of Taiwan for unification of Koreas. But that's kind of far-fetched. It makes me sad thought that North Koreans still have to suffer their relic

Yes I know it's parody, but I don't really understand how it is web developers' fault that browsers aren't as powerful as native applications. Web is old, haphazardly planned standard for which nobody really had any idea

At least in the company where I worked in, everyone agreed that Mobx was the better option between it and Redux. It's so much more intuitive to grasp and using simple functions and objects much easier, than having to grok weird async-f

I'm arguing that the premise of non-free software and services being somehow better because there must be a catch is just ludicrous. So no, I don't want to argue "it is some specific thing". I don't think MS is very

Well, you must then love Oracle. I mean, what you are saying is just silly. Of course the producers of FOSS want something in return, but sometimes it's not nefarious as you might imagine it to be. It could be a strategical investment

Once upon a time, I drank about 3 a day. Then I would start to get headaches after a month or two, and had to take a break from coffee. Then I started drinking 2 cups a day. Now it took longer for the headaches to appear, but eventually the

I myself have tried these types of apps before which sometimes might help, but often I face the same problem as you, when my behaviour devolves to disabling the add-on and doing whatever I want. Now what I have practised is being mindful of
