I'd challenge you to determine which of the top app store(s) apps are react native vs not -- plenty of app store awards have gone to react native apps -- bad software is bad software. plenty of you ios devs write shit software. I'

Your data is out of date. React Native performs within spitting distance of raw native now because in the last 2 years... it basically became native - it's now false dichotomy

So disagree. The benefits you get from leveraging a framework as as important today as they have ever been -- strong frameworks, fewer tokens, faster progress.

I've been around long enough to see this argument come and go under a lot of different names. This time it's AI. Maybe AI really does change the economics. But this post doesn't demonstrate it. Talk to me in a year. The side-

It's hard to replicate the "coolness" factor though of a true studio control board. It begs to be touched and knobs beg to be turned...

Designing 3D real-world interactions for 2D screens is fun. Literally fun. Rarely useful.

This isn't the most robust characterization. For people with medium and high end devices, SPAs are mostly fine. For those with low end devices (which is a large part of the world), SPAs sometimes don't work well and this is true o

my dream neighborhood. I wonder if all the garages are just stuffed with a bunch of crap and people keep the planes parked in the driveway.

You can always roll your own. When someone else rolls it for you, they are free to decide what can and cannot exist there. If you built your own shopping mall, you could decide whether or not to allow a Hooters on the property. This seems

So you're saying that if a company is successful they should be penalized? That sounds like an awful incentive structure for any industry. The standard for anti-trust is that the company must behave in an anti-competitive way. I thin

I wonder how many people here are throwing stones while living in glass houses.

Good point. I do think then we should be careful then attributing _to_ something without proof.

A magazine is not interactive. It's a unidirectional feedback flow. Magazine photos are also at a specific higher standard than the totality of Instagram pictures. IOW, they are not equivalent. I'm sure we can glean something from

An independent study of the effects of Social Media (instagram, FB, TikTok, whatever) needs no insider information. We're studying the effect, not the company. Hypothesis: Instagram causes teenage girls to have a lower opinion of their

In said study, Facebook acknowledges problems with the study itself as do other researchers without a dog in the fight. Let's see an independent study show the same thing.

Nope. I just don't believe hyped up spin; especially when the deliverers of the content are biased. I like research, and facts.

Most of her claims make a gigantic leap to conclusions. I'm asking for a source that shows, for example, a suicide that was _because_ of Facebook. Radicalization trends as another example have been on the rise in the US long before FB

Source on those claims? Not "the media" but actual sources that haven't been debunked?

I feel this way about HN. I open it every day, and check back far more than Facebook. Maybe we'll have a senate hearing someday about HN. :P

Except like all of these services, people actual do engage more with a curated feed. I just wish there were at least an option to go chronological.

yeah good point. I've used this on a project and this shaved off >150ms of critical path rendering... much better user experience. awesome to not have this officially supported. Time to upgrade :D

I don't know. I use next.js and love it. But I have to implement two static methods for every thing I want to fetch... This also locks me into next.js...

I heard about it at Fantasia Film Festival. I am hoping to see some feedback on it. I think it sounds very interesting but kind of sounds too good to be true ...
