Yes but that's hard and requires deep knowledge. Hard for people to get religious and angry over.

OOP is about passing messages through memory. Actors are about passing messages through time.

When you adopt a dependency, you should be prepared to maintain it yourself if no one else does. There's a reason open source licenses say "no warranty" in all-caps. Sadly this seems to be lost on the npm and npm-adjacent cro

I think if you want to do web dev backend with Rust (or C++ or any bare metal lang), you should do it behind a RPC framework (Thrift, gRPC) if only for security purposes. But it's also way more convenient. There's no need to have

I'm aware of these. Also aware they're based on core OpenJDK with proprietary extensions to or replacements of high level components. There were a few completely alternate implementations, but most of them have died off or exist a

Isn't this what GraphQL was designed to solve?

It should happen. The web browser is not a particularly interesting problem to solve. Let's make the base layer the same and distinguish ourselves at a much higher level. It's like the JVM--would humanity really be benefited by ha

Puppeteer (js) in particular. But since it's based on protobuf rpc, you can use the underlying protocol (chrome devtools protocol) from any language. It's by far the leading player in this space and for good reason. Selenium is un

The unspoken subtext is that development on these tools is intended for building spammers. Automated testing is just the cover story like a torrent client putting Big Buck Bunny in the screenshot.

It's Chrome with everything that people want from Firefox (privacy features). I use it too. Brendan Eich did it again.

I really wish there were stuff like this for more advanced topics. Where's the gamified "write a compiler" course?

I didn't know about this new library but from my benchmarks it was a night and day difference moving to Immutable data structures all the way down. I understand not wanting to recommend it to newbies, but it's actually good.

Attach event listeners and handle those parts with JS. For internationalization, template on the server side, sending a different bundle for user agents in different countries. CSS is enough to fill the gaps with other internationalization

If you want Bluetooth for audio, there are USB dongles that have standalone Bluetooth controllers in them and are only exposed to the OS as an audio device. I use it on my OpenBSD desktop.

For a company that cares so much about developers, they should have known better than to mess with the sacred cow that is Firefox.

You can make a mistake in your code and end up causing someone to go to prison. What a time to be alive.

Yes, that's why a lot of people who do SPAs also run node as the backend so that business logic code can be shared. If you have an e.g. C++ backend, you will have to rewrite your models in JavaScript and keep them in sync. It makes you

Having everything in global state is cheap if you use Immutable.js data structures. In my experience, Immutable.js the only way to do the global store pattern e.g. Redux without making your app slow to a crawl.

Don't overthink it. Native HTML5 elements come with form validation and even a way to serialize (!) and submit form data w/ action and method attributes. (To implement the same as React components would be a 3 month project coming

It depends massively on platform, architecture, and programming language. Hex-Rays is probably still ideal for embedded and obscure platforms. Ghidra's decompiler seems optimized for ARM and amd64 userland consumer-level stuff that the

While I prefer tabs whenever I can, I can see why it doesn't support it. If you have to share code, you're going to use spaces. For some reason everyone including Guido insists on spaces. I would rather not have to waste time thin
