That's what Netscape was...especially after the release of Firefox.

How many of those developers really use Javascript, and not a transpiling abomination?

I can only hope if this happens, that Honda calls the shots.

Yeah, Centaur was behind the WinChip, and Via's x86 CPUs. They were bought out by Intel fairly recently though.

Wordpress is the BAD PHP. PHP itself isn't that bad.

The many lead-in paragraphs are a bit abrasive, even if true, and I think they make it difficult to get to the meat of the argument. The lede is quite buried. That said, engineers don't always get as much choice as they should either.

An abominable default, sadly.

Every Boehm keyed woodwind (most all of them) is a compromise of holes and mechanism. There is no perfect tuning without embouchure. There may also be tuning adjustment available with the amount of cover for a hole, depending on the instrum

Come to think of it, it's also kind of the primal musical 'resolution', from scattered frequencies to a practical unison/octave.

I wish the screen on my car's infotainment system was transflective. The backlight is bright enough for most situations, but with sun directly behind you can't see anything on the display. This is somewhat important for, say, navi

The closest Gameboy to a transflective display was the original Gameboy Advance SP, but that was a front-lit reflective display.

My problem with your take is that the largest danger of driving a car comes from other drivers. Zero fatalities is a pipe dream, yes, but there is still room to prevent more collisions. I would like to see more consistent enforcement agains

Yeah no, this has happened too many times to be just incompetence. It's malicious, plain and simple.

Until you have to deal with Jest for testing, or React.

It *should* still be the default.

My biggest gripe with Typescript is how much more difficult (Except perhaps in Bun/Deno) it is to set up compared to vanilla JS.

And when you have to go to the server to get data, it's often slow with a client-side 'app' anyway. The client-side part doesn't make data transfer any faster.

A chat app is one of those relatively few cases where React makes some sense. But, React is easy and intuitive to use for the use case that makes the least sense. Once you get to complex state, I'd argue that React doesn't help

In many cases you could have a server-side client for your API calls, with a little client-side code for features that actually require it.

Rust doesn't play quite as nicely with Gentoo's packaging system as C/C++, but yes, that seems excessively long. Then again, I'm fairly sure I have starship installed via `cargo install`, not via portage (Gentoo's

That is my favorite software book. Deep implementations, but shallow interfaces is a good rule of thumb.

Debian may have the biggest name in package managers, but Gentoo is my 'home distro'. Debian has to make choices to use older package versions in many cases, as they don't seem to have a good system for multiple package versi

The industry is heavily regulated for good reason: safety. And there was a time when it was even more regulated: routes were assigned.

Very appealing until I see 3xAA batteries. Maybe this bothers me more than it should, but 2 or 4 batteries are just better.
