I’m curious what’s meant by Designing for bundlers/compilers/typegen (and any pre-runtime static analysis) leads to poor api design that eventually pollutes the entire system Is this in reference to React Router v7 that just shi

I feel insane whenever the Svelte reactivity thing is touted to me as an improvement over React state. Surely it’s not so hard to internalise JS equality rules that such a huge break from convention is necessary? PS. I looked up the reactiv

My dad’s Power Mac running the SETI screensaver is one of my earliest memories of the Internet. Makes me a little sad

I had a similar situation happen with Mercari last year. I bought some used audio equipment and 30 minutes later my account was terminated for "prohibited items or conduct". I still wonder every now and then what part of the listi

On a similar note to the linked article: the low battery alert of the AirPods Pro can be ear-shattering, and there's no means of reducing the volume. I suspect it tries to scale volume with environmental noise because it ranges from &q

I don’t disagree with the “early TypeScript” comparison, but what’s the issue with args, *kwargs?

I wonder how many millions of lines of shell configuration have died by people switching to asdf. Fantastic tool

I can see how this makes sense for a startup etc that has passed some threshold of operational complexity. As an “indie hacker” there is no way I’d be able to move out of the cloud without my costs going up by an order of magnitude.

did this capture the entire article? I feel like I'm missing something

The GP’s sentiment is common in the comments. I absolutely understand the gut reaction–regional Eastern specialties are rarely presented with the warmth and openness that this article has. I feel like stepping around “Japanese” as a cultura

I'm finding the "this is a horrible idea" responses amusing. I don't know if there's something fundamentally different about the way this project works versus Dirac/XT32 or if the naysayers aren't familiar

Yep, it will flag any references to variables in the outer scope that it doesn’t know for certain are stable.

Do you have a reduced code sample? I can’t quite picture the stale state issue. (I suppose this is a good example in favour of the opposing “useCallback is premature optimisation” opinion)

Last time I checked NPM the weekly downloads were still heavily slanted in favour of version 4. I wonder if that plays into perception of it. At work, an engineer in a different team recently recommended we switch to Vite because it’s “so m

There’s nothing to read into here. The writers of these shows are chiefly interested in set pieces that will sell CBS subscriptions via dramatic trailers. They aren’t considering the implications for the ST universe any more than they’re c

It must take an incredibly sheltered perspective to frame goblin mode as something that happens to tech employees who have the luxury of a WFH policy.

It’s almost identical to some of the top comments!

I haven’t been back in a few years, but the selection of onions in my local Kroger would be staggeringly exotic next to the offerings of Tescos of the north-east.

As a British expat, the “yellow onions” you see in US supermarkets are most familiar.

I once had a phone screen for a full stack SWE position where the interviewer was laser focused on the fact that I had previously held the title "web developer". The entire interview was spent defending myself from accusations tha

Why the separation from Draft.js? What shortcomings of Draft.js are you hoping to address with Lexical? Really excited for this to be production-ready!

IIRC this is something they’ve investigated for years, but the prototypes didn’t stand up to a simple day/month/year input group in usability testing. Date pickers are hard to do well!

I feel like something happened in the past few days that made Google significantly more infuriating to use. I switched my default search engine to DDG after the nth case of Google presenting search results that matched zero of my (fairly mu

I swear that the automatic switching feature was almost flawless when it first shipped, but at some point the "is the user paying attention to this audio source" heuristics were changed. It now seems very eager to switch to my pho

JSX is syntactic sugar for `React.createElement(...)` (most commonly), so React pretty much is plain JavaScript.

I believe "nesting hell" was in reference to obtuse state management architecture rather than DOM structure. It seems like a common misconception based off other comments on this post. Angular inserts a new custom element for ever
