You're right, pg should have spoken out against Palantir when Biden was in charge too. Just because he's right about them now doesn't mean he was always right about them and we should keep that in mind.

Some fun historical context behind the outline algorithm and why it didn't catch on: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25003 In short, the W3C adopted it because they thought it was a good idea,

The APA even removed sex addiction from the DSM-V, which isn't the end-all-be-all of what is or isn't a mental disorder, but is indicative of how science has broadly rejected the idea of sex addiction being a meaningful disorder.

I wrote a post about the UITour parts a long time ago: https://www.mkelly.me/blog/content-uitourjs/ It's pretty standard among browsers. The risk should be about equal to someone spoofing the domains that the

LLMs are not a general public benefit. Artists whose work is trained upon by text-to-image models aren't made any more whole just because Meta has to share its weights—it just means it's even cheaper for the folks impersonating th

Maybe it's just me but if I felt like my application's error messages weren't easy enough to understand I'd try to improve the messages instead of throwing all the context at an AI and hoping for the best.

Sega has long had an intentionally loose policy with regards to fanart and fan games and rarely issues takedowns for projects that don't generate profit. It doesn't seem to have hurt them at all.

The speed increases are nothing to sneeze at; I've moved a few Vite projects over to Bun and even without specific optimizations it's still noticeably faster. A specific use case where Bun beat the pants out of Node for me was mak

You have a narrow view of what a beautiful experience is. It does not require professional-level voice acting. It is not unfair that, in order to have voice acting, you must have someone perform voice acting. You don't have the natural

The lightness with which you treat forcing tens of thousands of people to change their career is absurd. Indie games are hardly suffering for a lack of voice acting, even if you only look at it from a market perspective and ignore that voic

I've refused to work on AI-related initiatives at previous jobs, and will again if they ever come up. I have deep ethical objections about LLMs in terms of power use, consent for providing training data, fitness and safety of LLM-power

He has generally great insights about principles to aim for, which is part of the answer, but no, he does not have the entire answer. His insights are inspiration for others who contribute their own parts to potential answers—that's ho

"Someone posted a screenshot of a separate torrent's contents in their server 5+ years ago", with no context into why someone posted it or what moderation actions were taken in response, is poor evidence to your accusation.

I believe that Yuzu includes a standalone implementation of the Switch firmware but can run user-provided firmware because a few games have compatibility issues, and it doesn't run Nintendo's own OS software (you can't run th

This isn't an unknown idea outside of Meta, it's just really expensive, especially if you're using a vendor and not building your own tooling. Prohibitively so, even with sampling.

Rightness and legality are intertwined in a world where laws are slower than public opinion and people can voluntarily choose to do more than only what the law allows for. But a more direct criticism of the legal aspect would be: getting a

What gets me about opposition to unions as limiting a free market is that unions solve a very real problem with the efficiency of employee negotiations. A union is a much more efficient way to discover what the employees want from their wor

by Osmose 3y ago
The point of a union is that if you don't like it you can advocate to it for changes with less of a power imbalance than if it was the company that you didn't like. The union can't fire you like the company can. To paraphrase

If your actual point is that "The virtual DOM is faster than a slow-but-common pattern of DOM mutation" then, sure. We have different experiences in how common wiping out the entire DOM really was in apps not using frameworks but

by Osmose 3y ago
You're right that it was difficult, that's part of why React caught on. But lots of apps did it anyway—its not as impossible as you make it seem if you take the time to write some abstractions around checking what needs to be done

by Osmose 3y ago
None of those links say that React is faster than using no framework, just that it is fast, presumably compared to other frameworks or techniques before that did DOM replacement. I guess you could say that not being specific was misleading

Your second statement that the virtual DOM lets you skip unnecessary DOM mutations is true, but the first statement is inaccurate because "DOM" is not equivalent to "regenerate and replace all the DOM nodes with updated ones&

by Osmose 3y ago
Nope. The binding is "one-way" in the sense that, when the component state (or props) change, the DOM is updated, but if the DOM changes, the component is not updated. Hooks are a pattern for declaring state, side effects, etc. bu
