I feel like this is a big one that affects a lot of customers. There's so many games - from indies to AAA titles - where they show hubris by building their own engines; this has led to a lot of titles that just look dated and janky (top of my head it's games like Final Fantasy XV, Skyrim and Cyberpunk); these would all have turned out better if they picked an off-the-shelf engine instead of try and build and maintain their own.

I mean I'm sure they're competent developers all, but they can't compete with e.g. Unreal or ID Tech.

> "Good enough" or as I hear it "It compiles and runs doesn't it?"

Is not actually the worst I think; it's not acceptable in AAA games (see Cyberpunk again, a case of over-reaching / feature creep / hubris), but for plenty of indie games, good enough IS good enough. I mean you mention aiming for perfection right afterward, and over-engineering before, and the main paper mentions feature creep; it's better to ship than end up in development hell, especially if performance is forgiving (e.g. 2d indie games on modern hardware).
Yes fair enough, but I'm not sure you could get those things from anywhere?

Serious question about Zig’s comptime - isn’t that just like Rust’s const fn, except every function is implicitly opted in to being const?

Where this could be a problem - I write a comptime function, only using other functions that I’ve verified can be executed at compile time. But now the implementation details of those functions (that they’re comptime) has leaked to their definition. Now a change to the impl of those functions could break my code, without the authors of those functions realising it.

Perhaps this is not a problem in practice?

I had to cancel a credit card because of Google. I tried buying 4 pixel phones from them. They cancelled the order 3 times after exactly 7 days, but didn't cancel the transactions on my card. I obviously didn't have that much money on my card (meaning the limit was lower than the amount). Increasing the limit would've released the money to Google automatically. So I cancelled the card and reopoened. I bought the phones from a local dealer afterwards.

> I don't understand this "Indian exceptionalism" point of view that seems more prevalent these days. I suppose if you retroactively apply some national idea of "india" that was foreign to people living in the Indian subcontinent at the time, and ignore all the plundering and conquest that routinely and commonly happened between those states.

A nation and a state are two completely different concepts.

A nation is peoples, tribes and ethnic groups that, in spite of differences, have something in common that binds them. A state is an ephemeral entity: lines on a map drawn by a power that will fade in time and be replaced with something else. So, while there have been multiple "states" and kingdoms on the Indian subcontinent over millennia, the Indian "nation" has always been there.

Same with 3D assets. There is a website called Free 3D dot com, with page title "3D models for free" and when you search anything their result page literally says "Free 3D <search term> models" but every other result is actually a paid model with no way to filter.
I think it’s down to incompetent returns handling.

i found a math structure that looks and relates like the blocktime universe

tl;dr

if you organize binary numbers of even digit lengths into a hierarchy (according to specific rules of unfolding), you end up with something that looks & selfrelates like the blocktime universe, (or less ambitiously, like the tracy widom distribution)

by looks i mean — you can see, in broad strokes, (a) being & nothing, (1) inflation, (2) big bang, (2abcd) the event horizon & cauchy horizon & singularity, (3) expansion, then entropy in three parts, (4) where dark matter is stronger than dark energy, (5) where dark matter is roughly equal to dark energy, (6) where dark matter is weaker than dark energy, (b) heat death

by relates — you can see their relativeish & absoluteish beginnings & ends — where they're coming from & where they're going to

& fascinatingly, the more digits, the more the resolution of phenomena — ex length 4 has no blackholes, length 6 has blackholes, and length 8 has blackholes with hawkings radiation & er = epr, etc

...

altogether, artists take their inspiration from nature math etc & this looks to me like what may have inspired the creator to have made the universe the way it is

...

three analogies that might help you to understand what I'm seeing here

one important disclaimer

theres no equations, only preschool math & ravensmatriceslike thinking but with force projection

by force projection i mean — the numbers are positions & the relations between the numbers are relations, but you have to inject your own forces & momentums to figure out how to get from one number to another — fortunately we've got the standard model

...

one application of this

we used to think that the big bang came first, then inflation, but now we know that's not true

but what if we had this structure, we could've saved decades of theorizing & checked the answer

similarly, we used to think that blackholes were inescapable, but now we know that they aren't

but what if we had looked at this structure & its relations at digit length 8 & ... etc

...

one fantastic thought

just as physics informed math & now math physics, so too will music inform physics & physics music

...

i wanted to write one really good poem & decided to set it to binary numbers

then i wanted to figure out how to relate my words to these numbers musically
People inheriting old react codebases now have to deal with way more complexity.

For example, everyone was using styled components 2-3 years ago and now they are moving away. The complexity styled components introduced has to be managed alongside the current trend (tailwind?). Old styled components codebase looks horrible. They end up with Java inheritance hell. You create a button, then create another button inheriting that button but with slightly different behavior. Now that one button is extended by God knows how many and any change is going to break all of it.

There have been many patterns which got popular but then we found problems and stopped using them.

There is also hooks vs classes.

There is an exponential complexity in a legacy react codebase if it is not maintained well because react itself is not opinionated.

Since Apple removed subpixel AA everywhere, by default, unless you re-enable it you get absolutely gorgeous text rendering on the internal screen but as soon as you plug in a non-hidpi external screen (such as my 34” widescreen which has a 50% lower physical resolution than the laptop) it devolves into a blurry and barely readable mess.
The irony here is the other way around, actually.

The article is about how people have become better informed thanks to the internet, and how increasing political polarization is due to people making political choices based on more sophisticated ideological alliances and deeper held beliefs, rather than ways they might previously have done so. Part of why people are better informed is that the internet makes it easier to bypass 'elite consensus' in a handful of media outlets, and also, easier to link to sources to cite them in arguments.

PathOfEclipse is demonstrating this in action: he is citing sources for his beliefs, including sources from different partisan factions like the CBS poll he quotes at the end.

In response, you're taking a pre-internet approach. Dismissive and without intellectual merit, your post simply asserts that none of PathOfEclipse's sources should be considered legitimate, not even the (hopefully somewhat objective) opinion poll made by a left wing news outlet, that shows widespread bipartisan agreement by voters on the question of what happened on January 6th.

PathOfEclipse clearly wins this round. He uses the internet in the ways people hoped in the 90s it would be used - to cite evidence for calm, level headed beliefs and arguments that boil down to "cool it folks". There's nothing wrong here.
It's more like

Yeah, it's not that hard to get results as good as Google when you are paying Google and Bing to give you search results.

It IS hard to get results as good as Google at a price where people are willing to pay for it.

IMO I think the issue with Kagi is that their current architecture has made it easier for them to get great results (as they are just taking their results from Google + Bing and adding their own special sauce) but it makes it much more difficult in the long run to be cost-competitive.

Their nearest competitor (Neeva) does offer $5 a month search, has a free tier, and rolls their own engine, so I don't really see how Kagi's current model is sustainable unfortunately (but maybe they will be tremendously successful and I will look back at this post and feel silly!).

How did the participation in the survey itself develop over the years? Do people get tired to take part? I participated in the survey for several years in a row now, but this time, it was slow as heck and buggy and I almost didn't participate because of this.

Futhermore, the "Satisfaction" chart is heavily skewed towards new stuff. I probably wouldn't make this the default view of the charts.

And on a more personal note: Take the results with a grain of salt. For example, I've been using Ionic since 2017 and the survey shows that interest is severely declining. From my perspective, Ionic just got more stable, more polished and becomes an even more viable option to do mobile apps these days.

Edit: Oh man, the chart kinda fooled me. Ionic is extremely stable over the years at ~52%, but how it is displayed makes it look like the numbers go down.

Haha, no need. I can afford it (if I wanted to badly enough).

Right now it’s at the edge of “I need an actual use case for these things, instead of buying them just in case.”

I completely missed the monthly option! Buying them once for $39 and them using them forever feels shifty though. At least if I paid $240 it’d feel sort of fair ;)

What is up with that 100 icons per project though? If I’m paying for icons I want to have unlimited use out of them (especially on websites), not an arbitrary limit. I doubt I’d ever use more than 100 per site, or that you’d enforce that limit, but even if it’s irrational it still bothers me.
I think our statements overlap. “Reddit moderators have better standards.” Is something I’d definitely agree with.
Ah, I missed it on mobile.
I read this report every year. This year it feels the most like it's driven by hype (and marketing, hi Vercel!).

In my professional and personal experience, react has never been better to use (in terms of features, DX, maturity, community, productivity), yet if you look at the "popularity" (oh dear) graph, it's basically just describing how older tech slides down while newer shiny tech comes in and is instantly the most "popular".

The "Back end frameworks" section is particularly bad. Sveltekit and Astro are not "back end frameworks" unless you define tech by what marketing copy people have written. Even express (which I still use daily for most of my back end projects) barely qualifies as a "framework" in my opinion. Again I have the feeling that choosing which techs go into this section is driven by something like "github star delta" rather than an evaluation of what the tech actually does.

Finally, jeez, angular isn't that bad. Plenty of enterprises use it successfully, and for companies with .NET or Java stacks, it's a great fit. I think almost certainly the devs at those kinds of companies are probably busy just doing their day job and not responding to "state of hype mixed in with some subtle marketing by commercial companies" surveys like this one has become.
There's also a lot of great improvements in tooling that just completely outclass what CRA does. Webpack is a dinosaur that is slow and painful to use compared to new stuff like vite that is blazing fast and isn't written in JavaScript. Nextjs comes with a lot of routing decisions already made so it becomes much easier to quickly build apps on top of it

True, but my experience is it usually is, they offered a 6% discount but wanted me to test the operation of the product as well which was impossible because of the missing cable and I had very little fate in it functioning as it should (which I why I called it unreasonable and they short of agreed). The customer service was quite good actually and they corrected it pretty nicely which is in stark contrast to the NewEgg example here.

Nice exceptions are always welcome and worth mentioning.

It is open source, and it's commercial. It's both. The word "Upgrade" is right there at the top of the page. It's not in the last surprising, or hidden, and thousands of businesses here promote themselves with a freemium product.

That doesn't detract from the generosity of giving something away - the only reason it's not been forked and improved by others (for free) is that nobody blinkin' wants to without payment.

Just take what's free, or pay for what's not! I don't know why that's depressing at all.
The definition of open source requires that you must be allowed to use the software for commercial purposes. While this library does have a commercial license available, it is dual licensed under the GPL 3.0, which is an open source license that allows for commercial use. Therefore it is open source, and of course allows you to use the product in a commercial product, provided you comply with the GPL.

> it's amazing to me as a programmer how commercial minded designers are in tech

While the criticism of this being called "open source" is somewhat valid. The suggestion that people creating usable graphics for the community should do so for free is a little frustrating. It's a bit like the memes where designers/photographers/ect are asked to do work for "exposure". The devaluation of creative output is quite sad, people who go out of their way to create something you can use for small fee should be held up as examples of the best of the community.

The vast majority of people who "create" (rather than contribute to) an open source projects are doing so for some sort of "commercial" reason. Wether it's an ambition to built a business around it, promote themselves as an expert, or being done as part of study to further themselves, its all about personal growth which translates to an income.

I fear we are all becoming too used to building upon the "free" foundations of open source and it blinds us to the creativity that goes into these types of projects.

> If a library has a community, it would be forked the 2nd day if it tries to pull something like this

I also find this frustrating as an attitude towards open source, the "open core" concept is completely valid and isn't an argument to fork. With most open source projects the majority of the work is contributed by a very small group of people, true if you frustrate a core contributor they may justifiably fork the project. However we should champion open source projects where the core team find a way to commercialise it in a sustainable way, when done well it only benefits the community.

When picking a foundation to build a business on, the advantages of picking one where there is a commercial organisation supporting the project as a core of their own business model is well known. Examples I can think of:

- Ionic Framework and Capacitor from Ionic

- Tailwind (actually a brilliant counter example with Tailwind UI being the commercial upgrade)

- Wagtail from Torchbox

- Wordpress and Automattic

- Docker

- HashiCorp
