I didn't meant to blame ORM, only highlight the (mis)use of them in this type of scenario - but yes, you are correct. It is an abuse of the repository - ORM or other. :)

by Jestar342 6y ago
It can be extended upon.. I see a lot of ORM based solutions that pull a full record just to check a single property sometimes. E.g.: var user = repository.GetUserById(userId); return user.IsDisabled; That's not even a fac

shrug The switch to PNG was in haste after we suddenly saw our icons etc all using whatever the last loaded SVG looks like. We already have a PNG "solution" (more like a hack.. someone remembered how to use imagemagick to setup

Hooks themselves may not be good FP examples, however I meant the resultant functional components that you develop yourself usually are.

It's a no-go for this use case. Simply because we cannot manipulate the SVG's attributes (at least not as easily) when using them within img tags. Can when they are "inlined". We reluctantly adopted PNGs and convinced de

Likewise most of the hooks (useReducer being the obvious primary example), and functional components in general. That's how 99% of functional programming is done - state and function are separate, first class, concepts. The line is ver

I decided to switch from SVG with build time manipulation of attributes (scale, colours, rotation, etc) to an image optimisation library (and soon probably a saas like imgix). I'd prefer to have stuck with SVG had it not been for the I

Noted, thanks.

Recently switched from SVGs to PNGs because the toolset the designers are using means every SVG has the same HTML ID attribute value. So when rendering >1 SVG on a page, they all render the same as the last one in the dom.

I see the usual OneTrust modal, with a giant, very easy to locate "Reject All" button at the bottom of the modal. https://imgur.com/uZmlGlc

The very premise of this (sub)thread is one of "more users == providing more value" so .. yes, for this conversation, it matters.

Literally all of them link scientific papers, if you'd care to read. And it's not "self-infection" that masking is a protection of. Nobody has claimed that. You wear a mask to protect those around you, and they wear thei

Before the internet we were passing video tapes/films, magazines, and prints around with porn and gore. Pre-teen me saw a lot of the kind of things you mention before the internet was a thing. The students at my school had pseudo-compe

Sunk cost is/was my conclusion. At one firm in ~2013, advertising was bringing in $600k revenue per annum - we estimated a loss of potentially triple that (!) - but the response was apathetic. There was very much a reluctance to accept

For more than a decade I've been campaigning (to any of my employers that utilise adverts on their platform) to drop adverts with the primary factor being that of performance for page load. The last time I looked, adverts were adding a

Nobody has said it should be except for you. As I said it will occur but you should strive to spread information and learning as much as is reasonable.

That's "Siloing" which is considered a negative pattern. If X is the expert, then only X can work on that something*. X is now a bottle neck. Natural siloing happens, but you (team) should be striving to reduce it, not encour

Has your team productivity actually dropped? You mention things that are supplemental to productivity but nothing about the actual productivity itself. If not, then I suspect there is no more "time theft"* than usual and you shoul

Terrible and dishonest analogy. The very reason this went undetected for 15 months is because the bridge _didn't_ fall down. There were no signs of a "break in" and it's wholly improper to compare a virtual system to a p

You simply cannot ignore the wider context here. The new leadership is moving development to cheaper regions and, if the interviews and comments about "entitlement" etc are to be believed, you can bet they are not fussed about hir

The irony of attempting to avoid bias, by using "has photo" bias.

Discard just the photo or the résumé entirely? If the latter - do they acknowledge the irony?

Well given the phone book was a list of names, addresses, _and numbers_ you could, in fact, do reverse lookups.

Yes, for example other command may be (and often is) fzf followed by yet another command to exec on the chosen file.
