> Some people own a lot of guns and knowing exactly where they are at all times is just not feasible. If that's the case, they need to own fewer guns. I cannot think of many things more important to keep track of at all times than w

Considering Japanese culture, I'm not surprised. This is what happens when you have super-conservative social values backed up by a strong pressure to conform. Few people are willing to take a risk or convey honest feelings, and both

This kind of thing is exactly why my old boss went and created his own minimalist framework built around using native code: http://www.domxjs.com . Its explicit purpose is to allow developers to learn and utilize the platform, ra

No, but I might just dip in there for lunch. Why does it have to be taking a client out for fine dining?

One of the first things that made me realize this was watching an old interview with Steve Jobs. He'd be asked a question, and would just sit there, totally silent, for maybe 10-15 seconds, and it was obvious that he was pondering the

Jesus, dude, OSS is not some kind of holy grail that renders it immune from all criticism, much less valid criticism. 1. I agree about the "you're free not to use it" line, but I frequently find that documentation can seem co

Yeah, there are a lot of "popular views" that are complete and utter nonsense

That's because twitter actually has content moderation policies in place that they do their best to apply. They're obviously not perfect, but again, the whole reason the app store banned parler was that they had no workable modera

Are you familiar with how publicly traded corporations work?

"People claim Twitter can't possibly moderate content at scale, except that Twitter makes money at that same scale." I'm sorry, but is that supposed to be a logical argument? Because it doesn't actually make any sen

Truly a disingenuous argument. Parler didn't get TOS'd because they had things fall through their moderation process; they got TOS'd because they did not have a workable moderation process in place, period. Twitter obviously

There's more than one explanation as to why "mainstream media" might not run a story. The NY Post isn't exactly known as a bastion of credible journalism. That's why they ran the Hunter Biden laptop story when ever

See, and this is where I (and I'm guessing you) might beg to differ. I'm a web developer, so the vast majority of my time is spent working in JavaScript. Our team has been working in ES6 for the past ~2 years. Our lead developer

Google is terrific at answering random questions compared to Siri, though. And I use my Alexa products for shopping lists. Not too long ago they added a feature where it tries to figure out what section of the grocery store things are in,

Once you start playing the song once, you can generally say "repeat on" and it'll loop the song. YMMV depending on where the song is coming from.

Because then you don't have to pass a huge framework library down the wire along with all of your custom code? Look at it the other way, if you don't get a big advantage over web components by using React, Svelte, etc then why wou

I guess maybe you had a different experience than I did, because I never had web components "pushed" at me in any way. It was always a technology I was keeping my eye on but was hesitant to invest in until the browser support was

I've had an iPhone since Google Assistant really became a "thing," but I use my Google Home all the time to get answers to questions that I'm surprised it's able to parse, like "what was the name of the dog in

Yes, thank you. I don't know why "they have dependencies" is a valid criticism. Literally any complex thing where the developer didn't write 100% of the code has dependencies. Most of the dependencies for the web comp

Lit-HTML is a templating system that's baked into Lit-Element, which is basically the successor to the Polymer framework. It simply uses JS template strings, with a few little niceties in the binding syntax to allow for things like se

I mean, we're using web components to build large web apps at my workplace, and in my experience 95% of the dependencies of web components are... other web components. Which makes sense for anything more complex than a simple button.

Weird, because we're using web components at my workplace to build complex web applications. We use Lit-Element as a base class and have come up with a top-down functional state pattern for data that removes the need for two-way bindi

This is one incredible journey back into my teenage years. Thanks so much to the developer and the person who shared it here!

TripX was pretty, but Geiss, Milkdrop, and Gforce were my favorites, if only because of the insane number of add-on visualization presets. What was always ironic to me was that most of the presets by the actual developer were pretty garbag

The reason IS obvious: It's called "feature bloat." That being said, unless you install a bunch of extensions, VS Code is still pretty snappy, at least on all of my computers.
