This is a great overview of common mistakes in data viz I will be sharing it with my colleagues. As a good supplement I highly recommend Kennedy Eliot's "39 studies about human perception in 30 mins" https://medium

A beter example might have been the lack of funding available to alzheimers researchers not looking into the dominant (and now increasingly shaky) amyloid hypothesis. which to me looks like a genuine case of a "prefered narative"

Yeah, thats correct. He also threw his co-authors (many early in their career and now potentially reputationally compromised by association) under the bus to get his moment in the spotlight before leaving academy. The whole thing was pretty

This feels short on facts high on opinion (almost like the WSJ has some pre-aproved narative!). I can't speak to the other pieces mentioned but I think it's worth noting that Brown's claims about a 'prefered narative&#x2

No law, but it is an incredibly dickish thing to do (quelle surprise!). Also, maybe sort this kind of thing out before announcing a rebrand?

I've recently noticed a few places screen-grabbing tweets rather than embedding them. Presumably for this reason.

I’ve had my Steel for years (it’s nokia branded so pre 2018) and would buy another in a snap if it broke or i lost it. my battery life tends to be closer to a month or more (though recently that’s been creeping down)

I’m not sure, but possible legibility? Like if you have a bunch of nested nodes it’s nice to be able to see where one ends at a glance.

As someone who has over the last 20 or so years been both a senior front end dev and a designer I don't think this is the case. For me designing in the the browser is fine for details but high level stuff; overall aesthetic, content de

Assumed "cage fight" was some kind of macho business metaphor but no, apparently not.

stores are nice (i’ve found the transitions especially useful) but very much optional. i’ve used redux with svelte with good results and as the article says, it’s easy to get svelte to work with any pure js libraries

And 25 years ago :D (though we did the linked list implementation too)

TBH I'm not sure the argument that only women and those under 5 were dying young in large numbers is a great rebuttal to the idea that we were better off in 1023.

Yes! It also means privileging exploration over combat and discouraging min/max type character builds. I think it's a really great addition and ditching it would make BOTW a very different (and IMO much worse) game

Nice! Really interesting to see the difference between the two implementations, comparing the frameworks in something more than the usual toy examples is instructive. FWIW I agree that the Svelte version looks much easier to maintain!

Don't worry! No one's forcing you to try a new framework, it's not mandatory. Part of maturing as a developer is working out what you want to spend your time doing or learning and what you're happy ignoring or leaving to

Yes, clearly in that case performance is important but is performance always the most important thing? I read the article and didn't find it convincing, I would argue that it's clearly not always the most important thing. This isn

Yes. Imagine creating a platform that facilitates the kind of things that article recounts and instead of dedicating all possible resources to fixing the problem being like; nah, let's just pour millions upon millions of dollars into m

I’ve never seen anyone make the argument that performance is not important. I have seen people make the argument that performance is less imprtant than some other property (maintainability, extensibility, legibility etc. etc.) given certain

There are certain sporting events which are required to be broadcast free on terrestrial TV. Wimbledon and the FA cup final are the two that I can remember this applying to off the top of my head.

Yeah, but atleast in Svelte it's explicit, and you can if you wish write svelte as if ste were immutable. Anecdotal, but still, I've had fewer bugs (particularly wierd UI glitches) in Svelte than I ever did in React. I just like S

Sorry, reading this back I see where that might be confusing. It's a few days later now but I think I was referring to React in the round as deployed in the real world, the community norms etc. rather than just the core library. In my

"Direct comparison with general public driving was impossible due to unclear crash severity thresholds in the manufacturer’s reports, but analysis showed that controlling for driver age would increase reported crash rates by 11%. These
