This entire thing will compile down to regular HTML/CSS. This is about as future proof as you can get.

Well NASA put a man on the Moon and America's economy boomed at the same time. Also, your tax dollars are absolutely being handed over to private organisations in one way or another. Either through subsidies, tax breaks, welfare, econo

It would appear so... but in this case it will cost you about six hundred billion dollars if you're just trying your luck. I suspect Qualcomm genuinely believe they have a case. But I wouldn't bet against Apple being genuinely inn

This project has obviously been carefully planned out, well defined ahead of time, and overseen with a militant eye for detail and style. That has lead to a neat, tidy, and immediately accessible code base that delivers what look like rock

I'd argue that the weaponisation of personal data and hyper targeted advertisements/disinformation are making all of those issues worse. It's what has created the current wave of climate change denying nazi sympathising mania

Well done everyone. Never let the actual content of an article get in the way of some good old Apple bashing. At the time of writing, I can only find one top level comment (by 'dvfjsdhgfv') that's making any attempt to discus

Cook isn't arguing that companies should not be allowed to have access to data. He's arguing that there should be laws in place to prevent misuse and abuses of that data. There's nothing inherently wrong with agreeing to give

The confusing thing about the name “Entity Component System” is that “System” is thing in ECS. It’s not a system of Entities and Components, it’s a pattern thay has three parts; Entities, Components, and Systems.

Popover menus and drop-downs should disappear when the user scrolls the page. Also, custom select inputs always ignore a big percentage of the functionality that native select inputs deliver.

Write as little code as possible. But make sure that whatever code you do write is readable.

Only suckers trust Microsoft. That may be glib, but it's 100% true.

Any country that legislates against free speech ans freedom of expression with such a brutal and blunt law such as this should be considered a failed experiment.

It's always been this way to some degree. Every now and again a messiah comes along that illuminates and exposes a new way of thinking, and academia goes through a revolution. Then the weaker minds establish boundaries based on the tea

Hmmm. I'm not so sure. The EU parliament is usually pretty savvy on civil rights and freedom issues like this. I'm genuinely surprised that this law passed. However, it's hard to fathom the EU parliament sometimes because it&

As bonkers as this may seem, I suspect it will fall flat on it's face the second it's put before a court. For example, someone defends their right to use the title or quote from an article from some other news gathering organisati

Cheers. I must be missing something, but once the hole is dug, it’s dug, and i’d have thought it was pretty low maintenance and more structuraly sound than a crane. So over time, would the costs of maintenance provide a benefit?
81.
by tomelders 8y ago
Honest question. Is there a reason to use a crane rarther than digging a hole? It seems all that needs to happen is for a weight to be lifted and then allowed to fall. If that was done below ground, that would cut out the weather issues and

Ok. I personally don't think that's a female activity, but I take your point that others might. That said, I don't have any children of my own. As such, I only have a vague idea about the challenges involved. I am without a d

I wasn't saying "don't use Vue", I was saying there are good reasons to use a view layer library, and I used "VDOM" as a relevant example specifically because Vue implements one. And two way data bindings are t

by tomelders 8y ago
You don’t have to use Vue as a framework. You can opt just to use the view layer as a library.
86.
by tomelders 8y ago
No. It makes sense to use a library that implements a VDOM and efficient Dom Diffing because that's hard to implement yourself. And there is no need for front end frameworks at all. They should be avoided entirely. And two way data bin

But what advantages does a Vue component offer over just doing the same thing with CSS? It's not going to be any more performant because it's not addressing a part of the rendering engine that Vue has any influence over. And you&#

by tomelders 8y ago
Yeah but why? It's just applying CSS. You set the props, it applies those props as CSS. Why not cut out the middle man and just apply the css directly? And why is lazy loading bundled in? What's that got to do with image processin

Well there's little else you can do when your app is a Java applet and your runtime has just vanished from the web. These things still exist, and people like me are rebuilding them. I don't appreciate the snark in your comment.
