What I've feel is ignored in the community is that actual backend development never reached a point of wide adoption with javascript/node. Certainly node and alikes are used to deliver front end code, as front end api or api layer

Reread your and the previous post. You make hardly a point towards it. What is new with streaming is that music is much faster produced, consumed and forgotten. Streaming is part of the Problem. You cannot expect capitalist in the industry

I remember that my suggestions were pretty obscure the last time I tried the spotify algo. But actually it is pretty natural that they suggest niche or less known artists because those have shittier deals and are less expensive to stream. A

Don't wonder. Just be realistic. Did you ever work in an IT business environment? Remember the situations when good taste slowly morphed into business interests? Yeah, that's natural in a capitalist environment. By no chance spoti

Yes context switching is a huge cognitive load. Abstractions enforce context switching.

Without public pressure it is not going to happen. German politicians have been positive towards this move recently (althought without mentioning it is already in progress). Sadly politics think it is the easiest solution to counter torrori

This discussion just cares about the extremes. Maybe there are lonely people that get milked on behalf on parasocial relationships. Maybe there are rich people that like streaming and honor it with money. There are probably a lot people wit

You missed the point. He said games do not generate anything materially useful. His intend here was to trivialize the true value of games and still giving them the honor of being worthwhile. Read between the lines or just don't at all.

Just two more generations and writing vanilla js/css is an elitist skill for ancient blue whales.

The most enjoyable interfaces in games are often simple, functional and still match the theme. Yet many games go over the top with fancy artwork and god forbid time stealing animations. There is definitely a point in trying to stick to the

rm -rf on root will query for confirmation. Not sure if this happens on all systems or even all top level directories.

Cannot fully agree. I use adblockers since their invention. Twitter and reddit need more than 5 seconds to load for me on mobile wifi. Ads have their impact but it's not the sole problem.

Should be done only if you have to load lots of small images. If you want to render above the fold fast reduceassets there and load them directly.

As usual. People have criticism. Counter critics say get smarter. The problem is that we are dealing with largely unproven concepts. We have no facts, not even meaningful empiric insights. It is a battle of religions but it should be an aca

Slightly OT: I use private tabs and write my banks URL by hand and log in via 2FA. Are there cases or have there been attempts to poison the users address bar history with malicious URLs for fishing?

> This is happening because we’re reaching the end of the current stage of capitalism and need a new paradigm for the 21st century. Can anyone explain how to find the end of capitalism? Is there a finishing line or is there just a theme

Maybe I am grumpy but OP doesn't construct strong arguments either. I assume that under certain circumstances psychology would give some arguments against this form of communication.

DRY is not very useful as a concept. It doesn't define any rules how to identify bad repeated code, nor how to change it and doesn't define limitations of the concept or it's application. I know this sounds wild and harsh but

Thanks a lot for response and sources. Will look at them now.

That sounds like myriads of programmers have done it wrong for decades. Can you elaborate on this and maybe add a few sources?

Pick a web app that can render without JS. Then remove all JS and they will render 5x faster. Some aspects of computers got better, sure. But the web is at an super shitty state. I mean were here posting on a website that has bare mininum d

Sorry that is a crazy thing to say. With node (front end tech at heart made by front end people) programmability invaded the frontend. Which gave myriads of new ways to solve problems and given that all the front end problems are new and th

The OO model is superficially adapted from Java. The open source community is pretty much following the SOLID / clean code cult. There are of course huge differences but the community acts like we're building a second java and the

The JIT won't be a game changer, at least initially.

Yeah but carmack style quality isn't as SOLID as people want to. Game devs have always also factor in performance, that's what other dev communities have lost. Apart from embedded devs.
