Thank you for the reminder. This random developer (not from Apple) does feel some exhaustion, but I have it lucky compared to some other folk and should be grateful for that. Hoping those other folk who have it worse will have some relief t

That hasn’t been my experience. ReScript and Elm are much better compared to the fragile types I’ve encountered with Typescript (where I needed to write code to do the type checking). Happy if you’ve found something that works for you thoug

This sounds something like an oft-repeated truth. "A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths are a statistic." - indicating that people tend to have less emotional investment on larger scales. There was more on my mind, but I

Thank you for the reference! Appreciate it. Will try to use that as a reference from now on when I want to bring te point up.

Someone is allowed to say that they feel something is horrible while acknowledging that other people may feel differently and while not asserting that their feeling is an objective judgement overriding other perspectives.

You should show them how it's done by first blowing up yourself. Edit: The meanness is well deserved in this case. This person is calling for destroying something personally important for many people and which they would give their liv

Is the word "allegedly" meant to cast doubt on the story? The user mentioned working on "Ardour" in the comments, and it wasn't hard to find what he was talking about from a quick Google search that led me to Wikipe

I didn’t write the very first post we’re all commenting on, but I think the objection to vagueness is in that very first post. “My point is that ‘modern’ can sometimes be a vague and overused term. Instead of relying on this label, it'

I agree with your points about Tex as a specific case (I didn't know about improvement made over time before), but let me see if I am understanding how your comment relates to the general point correctly. Are you saying that "mode

by zogrodea 3y ago
Your comment proves the point by being specific about the improvements that XeTeX and LuaTeX bring, rather than using "modern" (which may simply mean "new") and assuming the reader knows why something new would be better

Congratulations on parenthood. I thought the decision was very much overkill myself, but it's impressive you had the determination and skill to execute it while in the state you describe. I doubt I would be able to.

I agree. It might be hard to adjust one's practices, like when one first starts living in another community with a different culture, but it's the right thing to do in most cases.

Wasn't it common practice on older systems like, say, the SNES Sega Genesis? A design responsive to multiple resolutions wasn't really a thing back then as far as I know.

I agree that React's (and maybe other frameworks? I don't know them) conditional rendering syntax is very odd. Like {my_bool && <Component />} instead of (if my_bool then <Component /> else null). Or

by zogrodea 3y ago
I think it is, at least in some cases. I've found that Elm/React are like this with dynamic elements. First, you code the component you want with hardcoded styles and data. Then, you extract that to a function. Finally, you pull

Oh, I see. It flew over my head (have autism and there's a tendency for some of us to detect sarcasm badly). Thanks for the clarification.

Why do you think books have a finite value divisible by the number of readers they get? That sounds like a very odd claim to me. Let's say there are two universes U1 and U2 and a book A which is identical in both. In U1, book A gets 10

I don't think so. The person he tried shifting blame on was black, and this was one of the landmark cases in America of a black person winning in court over a white one. The KKK hates both groups of course but not equally. I don't

I felt like that meme "they had us in the first half, not gonna lie" on reading this comment. I initially thought, on reading your first sentence, that you are trying to be nice/kind to others by paying for them, but then the

I could copy and paste JS code into a REPL/browser console to find bugs/REPL-basee development, but that won't work for Typescript. Debuggers take some more time to set up too. More complex than other typed OOP languages like

That Frankie Boyle quote seems relevant here. “Not only will America come to your country and kill all your people, but what's worse is that they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made thei

Thank you for the answer. Had encountered the acronym about the manual before, but this one is a first.
