I reckon a lot of founders will be reluctant to start their business in HK, the same way people aren't starting companies in China. Talent will be harder to come by, there's very little incentive to move to HK if it becomes more l

Was that confirmed to be true? I saw it pop up on Facebook, but it just said “What Google might look like in the future if we allow this to pass” (or something like that)

I equally love and hate the power of those empty boxes. I use a workout tracker that does the same, however it's not advised to be working out every single day, yet I feel myself going to the gym because I want to see those boxes fille

In principle, competition is good, I agree. However, in this case, you need to give up your principles to even be allowed to compete. Look at what happened to the NBA, they didn't give in to China's demands, and just like that, th

React solves multiple problems, sure. But I would say that templating isn’t one of them, and it definetly isn’t an abstraction to something more obscure. You have this on the backend and devops side as well, but I would argue that most comp

Complexity is one thing, but more importantly is choosing the right tools for the job. There definitely are cases where you want SPA + API, but this wasn’t one of them.
401.
by woutr_be 6y ago
The point was that they choose React by default instead of thinking about other tools which might be better suited. There was no reason to make this an SPA, they didn’t even consider not using React. I agree about learning new things, but t

by woutr_be 6y ago
Same here, even a lot of my personal projects are now just SPA free by default. I do use Node on the backend, but most of the time, a templating language like pug gives me everything I need.

One of the things I took away from NestJS was the focus on dependency injection, even doing that with Express made it so much better to develop against. It’s one thing I really hate about almost every tutorial or example that’s out there, t

Great, just reading up on it. I also have permanent residency in HK, so might be able to do it via that route as well. Just keeping my options open at the moment.

For the gold card, do you not need to be employed by a local company? If not, that's a pretty good deal.

I would love to work remotely from either Japan or Taiwan (preferably in Japan). I’m currently living in HK, but I reckon it’s time to move on. How did you manage to find a remote company in Japan?

I’m aware that the government’s own legal team cited against that move, so they sought external legal advice and pushed through. It’s all very strange, and I’m surprised the courts haven’t been involved yet. It’s looking like a couple of ro

I'm trying to remain subjective, especially when giving information to other people, but this is just my understanding of what happened. It's really hard to find unbiased information, especially when reading local news.

I’m unsure about the first past, as far as I understood it, they wanted to prevent the election of a new chairman until the next elections. Mostly because in the current legislature the pan-democrats don’t hold a majority, which is expected

by woutr_be 6y ago
Some background on why this is happening; The legislature was supposed to elect a new chairman in October last year, pan-democratic lawmakers have been blocking this election by filibustering any meeting that tried to elect a new chairman.

I've done both React Native / Cordova apps, and native iOS apps. To be honest, in terms of development, they both felt the same to me (ignoring language), as in, I was able to build both apps roughly at the same speed. However wit

Perhaps, but making the assumption end users care about resource consumption seems a bit silly. Most of these apps run perfectly fine, sure they use a bit more resources than their native counterpart. But even for a technical person like my

And yet Slack and Spotify are some of the most used apps. I wonder if most end users just don’t care about resource usage, as long as they can comfortably run all their apps, why should they?
