You speak as if ease-of-development doesn't enhance UX. Of course it does. If a team can ship features and fix bugs faster, the UX does improve. Most would say that's worth it over shaving 15ms off the input lag.

I posted a comment about this a few days ago and got downvoted into oblivion. Seems like hn doesn't take the climate refugee threat seriously.

Yeah I guess no one expected investors (and government subsidies) would keep pumping money into a sinking ship, yet here we are.

I'm not claiming I have a good way to implement my proposition, I'm just trying to convince people that my proposition would be in the best interest of the human species. Maybe if we can convince enough people we can find a politi

Well as you can imagine, chest pain is rather worrying. I've been to the ER and seen various doctors (and had a lot of xrays and CT scans done). They haven't found anything, and told me it's to be expected with the surgeries

You've clearly never had a surgery. Many invasive surgeries can result in lifelong pain with no underlying cause. Having a doctor muck about with your internals leaves nerve endings in the wrong place and scar tissue that will never he

If the global population was still 2 billion as in the early 1900s, I'm certain we wouldn't have a climate crisis anywhere near the scale we're seeing today. We should be panicking, and I don't understand why our populat

If toxic masculinity exists, then surely there should be some examples of toxic femininity? Can you provide some such examples? Or is it only masculine traits that can be toxic?

Then you want to disable mouse acceleration, and you're humped. Apple's approach to simplicity is just to extinguish user choice. That's not a great approach.

You're conflating defending the actions of an employee with judging organizations for doing business with morally questionable entities. Do I think everyone should deny ICE contracts? No. Do I believe an employee should have the right

I think it's our moral imperative to prevent our work from being used for acts that betray our values. Take a second and remember that the gas chambers used by Hitler to inflict a genocide were designed by engineers. I think we all agr

It might not be Redux's fault, but the result of Redux being a popular library is that many projects have all of their state stored globally. This would not be the case if Redux didn't exist. Call me consequentialist, but I think

They should do the same for alcohol, marijuana, and other addictive substances as well then. Why give adults the power to control their own lives? We know better, don't we?

It's trash because people are dumb and it encourages them to store all of their state globally.

To be fair hooks are kind of a frivolous feature that add no new functionality (just another way to do something we already could). It does irk me a bit when library maintainers do stuff like this because it just introduces more complexity

I don't think anyone is defending child rape, but rather questioning what even constitutes "child rape." There's obviously a difference between a 7 year old and a 17 year old, and using one term (child) to describe both

That's exactly the reason. Software engineering is about writing code, devops is about writing yaml files and keying into functionality that was implemented by software engineers.
