I feel like path #1 would also run into the same problems as #2 as soon as there was any need for real-time editing of scenes.

I very often also get better programming results than less experienced engineers, even though I'm not remotely doing any kind of "prompt engineering". Also how you ask matters a lot. Sometimes it just wants to make you happ

Yep, this is coming from Reddit itself. It's using different URLs, and they seem to be making an effort to SEO-rank those translations.

Yep. Youtube is the worst: - If I select German subtitles for a German video, it will auto-translate all English subtitles to German in the future. - If I select subtitles for an English video, same. - If the video has an Arabic, Hindi, Fre

Oh nice! I never noticed that "Suggested languages" shows languages I previously selected. But additionally, I like how it's not simply "pushing to the top", it does shows a previously selected language on the top,

Advice used to be that "natural keys can only be primary if they don't change" but there was always an exception to the rule after a few months. On the other hand, I remember a CEO wanting to be #1 in the database, so even no

Yep. With known software there's always this "learned helplessness" of dismissing problems with "ah yeah, this is how it is". Even when it's quirky, inconsistent or just broken. With new stuff, the blame will a

The CFO had raised it as a problem but nobody ever bothered to check. When a new CTO started, he actually checked it out on his first week and discovered the company emitting invoices belonged to the PM. The CTO also demanded talking with t

Not quite, even a static HTTP form is "stateful" in the same way as a React frontend is. The value that the user typed in a field before hitting submit is also a "state", it's just abstracted away by the browser&#x2

You can have this kind of fraud without tax evasion, by abusing invoicing, business expenses and reimbursements. That's a reason people like when accounting doesn't work properly. Not saying there was zero tax evasion, but this se

IMO, DOD shows that you don’t have to sacrifice developer ergonomics for performance. ECS is vastly superior as an abstraction that pretty much everything that we had before in games. Tightly coupled inheritance chains of the 90s/2000s

Yep. And some people just aren't receptive to bad news, no matter the style used or the culture. So you might see someone who's very matter-of-fact and direct, critical of everyone, but that crumbles at the smallest feedback that

Yeah, I know. I just don't want to self-doxx by mentioning the country. I also don't think this is part of any specific culture, mine or someone else's, it's just something I saw in one neighbourhood.

That reminds me of when I first benchmarked a Rails app and noticed that JSON rendering was significantly slower than the remote database call. No lie, jbuilder was taking about 80% of the request time for about 90% of all endpoints.

by whstl 1y ago
I guess the rendering itself is pretty much the same for both SPAs and MPAs, since in the end it can be pretty much the same markup, but the SPA is also at a disadvantage here because it has to combine template/components + JSON to gen

Oh I got the sarcasm, I was just agreeing. And I also agree about worse is better. To me the most tragic part is that "worse" has become almost as costly as doing "The Right Thing", mostly due to the extreme flexibility

I once worked for a unicorn that got near-zero traffic during the pandemic, but nobody could understand why some services were struggling to stay up. Datadog was costing several thousand euros per month despite near-absent customer traffic.
