I don't know if "from scratch" is really a fair statement. React accepts HTML in the render function, so the only thing you'd need to do is modify the variables to match JSX's variable syntax, which is exactly wha

I think you misunderstood the point you were replying to. The idea is that you can’t really have a discussion about what it enables or how it’s used unless you already understand the technical details. And that shows as a lot of the comment

That's absolutely not the same thing lol. What Amazon did is unethical. What you are describing is illegal.

Just because it's easy to fork in the UI, doesn't mean it's easy to get people to switch. Some people are actually concerned about the community as a whole, rather than their own projects.

And when maintainers respond to a significant amount of work involved in a PR for a bug with a note that they aren't interested because it's "boring" then they can be critiqued for being a jerk, because they decided to b

You can't tax revenue when the business is losing money. No country in the world does that for a reason.

Literally everything you mentioned isn't a loophole, it's tax fraud. Tax loopholes are what they do within a single jurisdiction to avoid taxes. What you're suggesting is transferring money from one jurisdiction to another, w

If you're discussing design and scaling at code review, you have a serious, SERIOUS, problem. That's what design docs are for.

Google shouldn't be restricted to a subset of the available technology because a niche browser isn't updating to available technology. Yes, a side-effect of this is that the blind community using Lynx can't use Google. While

That was the point of this entire thread. That MS doesn't care about Linux Desktop, so it's no longer a threat. The browser is the new threat, so being buddies with Linux is fine. There's no secret plan here. Priorities have

You can easily work 40 at tons of Amazon teams. AWS and parts of retail have the "crack the whip" culture, but it's not as bad as people think it is.

Walmart generates $500B in revenue compared to Amazon's $230B. While you aren't wrong that Walmart is doing well, comparing net profit between companies when one is 2x the size of the other is dishonest. It's especially disho

You can choose to not use Select, and just use standard KDP. This is an exclusivity agreement. You don't get to release your ebook elsewhere in exchange for higher royalties.

I'm quite familiar with them. But the colloquial term "computer" isn't the same as the historical term, and that's the point here. We aren't talking about the job, or a design that wasn't implemented, or a

Turing is the easiest because he's the only one that makes any sense. You have to get incredibly philosophical to have Hopper or Lovelace on the list as they very obviously did not invented the computer.

I mean, it seems like you are suggesting 3 incremental non-backwards compatible changes. I'm not sure how that's better. Nobody is going to sign on to the first two, so you end up with the exact same situation we have now, but too

I'm confused as to what you think is mail fraud? Amazon is just fulfillment in these cases. It's clearly marked in the same place on every page, and as such, avoidable. It's purely a profit motive for Amazon, but I don't

The savings implies they saved $2B over AWS. I can't read the article since I don't have a BI account, but unless they saved $2B over AWS (rather than $2B over their previous infrastructure) it's definitely misleading.

Higher density is inevitable in mega-cities. Geographic boundaries are just a apart of reality. I agree that transportation is key to this expansion, but the Palo Alto's and Seattle's of the US only have way way to go and that&#x2

First to market in hardware, especially 30+ years ago wasn't a minor advantage it was an enormous advantage. And I'm not suggesting Kodak should have just went for digital in 1975, as that wasn't cost effective, or practica

How much of that $1300/month goes to dental and medical insurance? Because with no family to support, I don't see how you aren't paying close to half that in insurance.

Not who you asked, but it's almost guaranteed to be lower. It's extremely rare to be both remote and get paid at the prevailing salary of the company. That only works for companies that generally don't allow remote, as they d

I agree, generally, but that's ignoring geographic boundaries which are huge for cities like Seattle and San Francisco. It's not the main issue (regulation and zoning are) but it's still a big piece of it.

I'm not fond of the slippery slope argument, particularly when it comes from NIMBY's that bought their houses when markets were at a low because nobody wanted to live in these cities. Bay area residents, Seattle residents, etc nee

1. I assumed it was implied. Why else bring it up? 2. If there was a means to sue Amazon for hosting databases, Oracle would have already done it a LONG time ago with MySQL. The burden is on you to prove your claim. 3. You are free to talk

To add to that: It was a Kodak engineer that effectively invented the self-contained digital camera. Kodak would have been unanimous with digital photography had they recognized what they had. Unfortunately, their leadership was in charge o

Note: Amazon employee, but opinions are mine. Amazon did not replace Oracle with MySQL. You seems to talk a lot given your knowledge of how Amazon operates internally and how licensing works is... blatantly false. All of those DB's t
