> What deep tradeoffs are Solid or Svelte making in exchange for their speed

I wonder why so many folks care about performance. I guess it's the only objective thing you can throw in someone's face as an argument.

But I think one of the major benefits of Svelte is a better mental model for state management. It hides the right pieces of complexity, while both React and Solid throw them in your face.
The author repeatedly undermines their own thesis by showing multiple examples of how the myth is in fact deeply embedded across many cultures. What a strange anti-argument.
In my community we have a courtesy rule for hiking, running, and cycling where if you organized the outing and invited people slower than you, you're not allowed to go ahead of them.

People are not wholly defined by their disabilities. In the case of someone with autism experiencing sensory overload, I expect them to build coping mechanisms because of their condition. Having a library of tools will improve their lives.
Sometimes the price is tonnage to Mars and not money, however.

It seems clear to me that SpaceX is not a business in the traditional sense; the revenue is an essential prerequisite but ultimately a side effect of pursuing its goal (which is not money at all).

I feel like nobody in the comments here so far actually understood the article?

The point is not: you should keep going and leave the slow people behind.

The point is: "It's a perfect example of something that seems to pass for empathetic wisdom, but actually holds very little true empathy: an understanding of people who actually think differently from each other."

The rest of the article is describing ways to actually think more about what is best and most empathetic to do instead of just turning your brain off with a piece of memorizable advice.
What an unfortunate misunderstanding of a philosophical idea that has been carefully developed for over 300 years.
I build the frontend of all my projects with plain HTML/CSS/JS.

Every time I talk to developers who use frontend frameworks, I challenge them and say: Let's sit down and build the same application. You build it with React or whatever, I build it with plain JS. Let's see which one is leaner and more logical.

Every time the answer is the same: The benefit of a frontend framework will not become visible in a small app. Only in a big app.

Then I ask: Ok, where is the cut off? What is the smallest app, where React will shine? And I never get an answer.

When I see React examples like this calculator ...

https://github.com/ahfarmer/calculator

... which use 70 files (without dependencies!) to build something one could do in a single HTML file, I am afraid that those "big" apps the React proponents talk about will be very big when implemented with React.
You are taking an extreme example. How about if he sexually assaulted an underage girl a la prince Andrew and denied it happened? The same thing that happened to Prince Andrew would happen, ie nothing. The royalty is above the law unless they do something unbelievably stupidly obviously bad and admit it. And it that case they would just claim that one particular royal is crazy and give the power to the next in line.
We used to have a large QA silo at a previous job. They did exactly that. We broke that down that by moving the QA engineers into the respective product teams - and kept them, there.

Turns out many kinds of businesses/product teams (including Microsoft's Windows team, I'd say, from personal user experience) need dedicated QA people because many worthwhile tests can't really be automated well enough with a reasonable effort, or if they can, it's something that often breaks and needs regular maintenance.

I suspect that in the Windows case they simply stopped testing those troublesome cases.
I was wondering so as well. I went through entire sign-up process and did not see a place to enter a code.

Edit: There seems to be a gift code when you try to invest in a property but the code hackernews is not a valid promotional code.

So it would be nice to get clarification on where this code would be put in.

Aside this seems like a cool platform. I know some people will be cynical and call out the housing crisis as a issue.

In some cases it's justified. But if I just want to invest in a rural house in Arizona that is used as a vacation spot, what's the issue with that?
React solves problems you don't often run into when making simple websites with simple functionality.

Once you start trying to build complex, dynamic web applications that involve loads of state changing over time, and user and API interactions, it can get really messy and cumbersome. Think Gmail, Spotify, Facebook.

Now if you try to add other engineers to the project, without some sort of framework, it's difficult for them to understand what's going on, or to change things without cascading consequences.
> Teams like this attract a certain type of person, and it's not a builder.

Ditto for financial audit teams and so-called "IT security": all they do is block, I've never had anyone in either function build something or help me work faster, just additional processes and bureaucracy that slows down real work.

edit: I thought my sarcasm would be apparent, but Poe's law strikes again.

I've worked retail and in no universe would I ever try to physically detain anybody. This has been the explicit policy of the companies I worked for.

Losing a little merchandise is no big deal, especially if you can identify the person to police in a report later.

Attempting to detain a person is dangerous all around. The risk of escalation and injury to the parties involved is high, and a simple shoplifting can turn into something much worse (as happened here). You never know what drugs a shoplifter might be on, or what weapons they might have.

I'm sympathetic to the person being robbed, and this is no defense of the actions of the robber in any way, but it's always the smarter play to let the cops deal with it.

„The original "lesson" is not actually about respecting people's needs, or about ensuring accessibility for all. It's mainly about disregarding some people's preferences entirely in favor of certain others, holding up some arbitrary level of preference and skill as the norm. What's too far ahead is considered unreasonable. But if you take the advice to its logical conclusion, it would mean that everyone has to perform at the lowest common level, even if someone obviously doesn't belong there, and would be happier elsewhere.„

This is something thay many people from the former communist countries understand. There was a saying in Poland that went something like: „no matter if you stand up or lie down you are owed 2000PLN” that was about just that happening in the communist times.

The fact that many in the West were lucky enough not to live on other side of iron curtain is the only reason I can see for this growing push towards making people equal in every way.
There's been a lot of talk from Zuckerberg lately about there being too much cruft at the company. I wonder if he's feeling pressure from investors and the tech world in general over his big bet on the Metaverse. If he can make the company leaner, he might be able to reduce some of the pressure.

I know it's technically true but it's seemed weird to me to lump skipping breakfast in with what I'd consider actual fasting, ever since I first encountered people using it that way in the context of diet fads.

Someone tells me they're fasting, I don't expect they mean 8 non-contiguous waking hours without eating (with sleep in the middle). That's, like... pretty close to a normal day. It's easy to have 16 hour "fasts" just by accident. "I only ate two meals yesterday because I was fasting". LOL WUT? Again, I know, technically true, but not a useful way to refer to it, IMO.
I'm unclear as to how to interpret this response. Did you mean 'Kyiv' and that I'm somehow anti-neologistic, or something?

- ed: damnit, I shoulda gone with 'anti neo-legoistic'.

- ed - ed: I genuinely meant my initial question - I'd not seen that word in that context, so wondered what it was. I thought it was perhaps some term I'd not encountered prior. I do know Americans call Lego pieces 'Legos', hence my follow-up question.
> Inflation is pretty key to your argument.

On the contrary, compounding interest is key to my argument. Inflation is entirely absent in my argument. You introduced inflation to construct your straw man. Promoting fallacy does not make for valid argument.

> If I have 1000 dollars today and then have 2000 dollars in 10 years, but the dollar itself has dropped down to below 50% it's initial value, how exactly am I not poorer?

I have already addressed this straw man in my previous comment: historically, interest rates always increase to counter inflation. My argument did not mention inflation, but I also kept the interest rate at a flat 5%. If you want to introduce inflation, then I will increase interest rates to counter it, resulting in nullifying your inflation and your straw man argument, twice.

My pet theory is plastics/microplastics. We're seeing now just how prevalent they are (and how inside of us they are, too).
Two things:

- adding interactivity to a web page vs building an application. Those are not the same thing, and what you read applies to the first

- there's a widely accepted belief that vanilla js is not suitable for building apps. I don't buy into this belief. I have a built networked Scrabble game with vanilla js. Both the backend and the frontend. This simplicity allowed external contributors not well-versed in the modern web stack to contribute. I also was able to enter the code of Pianojacq (from jacquesm) [1] and contribute quite easily because he also chose vanilla js. This simplicity is very valuable, and lost with modern framework, and nobody is really concerned about this.

I've done some React development, so I know my way in a modern app. I've also contributed to a frontend written in Vue. I think they solve problems but bring complexity to the table, in particular the tooling (bundlers, minifiers, etc), the dependencies and the debugging being much harder.

It seems DOM manipulation through native browser API scares many people, but when it's what you are familiar with, your usual "framework", it's manageable. You need to be disciplined to avoid things getting messy (a discipline frameworks partially enforce), but I really believe you can go far with vanilla js.

I believe React & Co are often picked to ease beginners' contributions, but they actually do require expertise. I'd rather touch vanilla js code from a beginner or an experienced developer than a React code from a beginner.

It's a matter of taste. Vanilla JS has the taste of fresh air to me. It's zen. You write the code and it runs. No tools, no slow compilation, no minification that complicates the debugging. Minification which is only useful because with those frameworks you bundle an awful quantity of code in the first place. Yes, source maps exists but they don't do everything.

But today you won't have access to the whole ecosystem of existing React components with vanilla JS. It might be a curse or a benediction.

As someone who’s become most comfortable with strictly typed languages (primarily Swift and Kotlin), I find that TypeScript makes my dabbling in web dev much more tolerable and even somewhat enjoyable, even for simple projects with zero dependencies. Plain JS becomes frustrating quickly as project complexity ramps.

Out of curiosity, what do you feel you gained by not signing the NDA/non-disparagement that was worth so much to you?
This is a process problem. Folks create a kanban-board environment which is sort-of good at helping new hires get oriented and become useful, while keeping managers informed of where everything is at.

But it gets ossified into "these folks are in charge of creating stories...tasks and no one else" and "these folks are queue-picking migrant farm workers just picking up tasks and doing them and nothing else".

You put an Engineering effort through this wire screen and it ends up mush. The Engineering gets lost in the dissection.

Let Bob read all the code, create his own tickets and get back to work. This whole question isn't "How to keep Bob busy" but is instead "How to rationalize our system that Bob is so clearly illustrating is broken"
Any job that I can could find where someone will pay me more than $100 (+ expenses) to do for them. I'm not willing to pay $100 for anything, but I will certainly be a middleman or broker.
Given that we have people that enjoy a good flogging, a decent slap across the face or the occasional genital tabasco rub this comes as no surprise to be honest.
I wonder if a linter can be constructed, such that Python type hints can be statically divided into "will halt" and "yeah, maybe not", such that the latter category has effectively no type hints found in code not targeted directly at such shenanigans.

I bet it could.

Imagine having to pay more for bread. Or milk. Or anything else.

It is simply inflation. If we accept it in all other places of life, and renters are expected to accept it, why should land owners not be expected to accept it?

If your income has not gone up in 3 years, and the purchasing power of the currency you earn income in has gone down, then you simply have to accept you will be able to purchase less. Or figure out a way to make your income go up.

Also, participate in city/county/state governments and elections to make sure current leaders are limiting excessive spending from future taxpayers’.

I'm curious what sorts of groups/contexts working together wouldn't benefit from this. I'm having a hard time coming up with examples. If we're assuming that group activity means people that are all working on the same product, I can't see an argument for DM's and private conversations.

Their position is pretty clear - we expect to be able to tell you to return to the office at some point in the future if we want you to work from the office.

IMO it's not really unfair or ambiguous - if you want to guarantee you can always do your job remotely then don't take the job.

I still have a hard time understanding how mobile gaming diverged so hard from traditional computer gaming to be the lootbox cesspool that it is. The majority of the market is filled "free" exploitative ad-filled knockoffs with less effort put into their actual gameplay than 2005 flash games. The actual paid market is barren in comparison, with most of the top rated games just being ports of decent PC games. Even coin-based arcades weren't this bad; it's like the mere presence of a FAANG is enough to suck all the genuine creativity and passion out of a market and replace it with growth-optimized exploitation

I think fully outsourcing it really abdicates your responsibilities. There has been a long line of companies like Sony that outsourced their security and then discovered that means they have no in-house ability to respond, evaluate or supervise that outsourcing.

And to be painfully honest, it also encourages coverups and lying on reports. As a security engineer at another vendor who has worked with these MSPs and their clients I have seen a lot of things that went sideways and the MSP wants to cover it up and it makes responding to an incident really hard.
It would only be poisoned if I had to adjust the perfect solution definition to fit my edge case. Luckily, I did not.

My SAP experience in a nutshell (working for two large organization who has deeply entrenched SAP software)

1. It is extremely challenging to integrate with. Your basic option is to overhaul your existing software to at least match the available integration options.

2. It requires constant care. SAP Expert Consultants hired by the companies initially for two years, which was supposed to be the timeline when SAP would have been fully adopted (and turned over), still works as the complexity and evolution of updating the software itself is tantamount to a new system adoption.

3. Users (Majority I would say) hate it. The only reason they live up with it is because someone higher up the decision and authority chain imposed the software after being sold to the premise that it is a game changer to the organization.
You do onow that SAP does much more than booking your hours on a project, yes?

The truth is, no one is willing to give up their comfort and luxury that's necessary to decrease global energy usage without putting lives at risk.

> Also RCS involves the carriers, I cannot think of a worse party (other than google) to involve.

They're a better party than Apple or Google because they support multiple hardware and software ecosystems. I'd prefer some sort of nonprofit, but I'll take what I can get.

> RCS is not working perfectly for phones that ostensibly support it today (at least that's what I'm hearing from my android friends).

Well, fwiw I've heard the opposite.
> Apple .. for some reason the smartphone market seems to be a huge premium for not much value compared to the competition.

I used my iPhone 6 for 6 years and Apple once replaced the battery for a nominal fee. It got security updates all that time. I feel that was good value for money no Android could ever match unless you install FOSS on it.
We gained the story, they did it for the benefit of the community.
> It's a stretch to call it greenwashing, though.

It's not a stretch to call it greenwashing when a replacement is marketed as a repair, no matter what else they do. Especially since a full replacement for battery drain inevitably leads into their recycling process - if they think that their recycling process is even better than replacing the battery, why lie?

> Apple pays recyclers for the manual labor required to recover materials, even though it significantly exceeds the value of the materials being recovered.

The criterion for recycling isn't whether it's profitable or not. Why would you get any recognition for profitably recycling?

You are indeed correct. But the stoics too were completely aware of the problem of how to do good, politically, after all many were martyred in the manner of Socrates, that is by the very people they were trying to help.

Personally I blame tacitus for creating this misunderstanding.
> No one will be able to provide you direct link between 'lifestyle choices' and chronic disease at an individual level.

I wasn't implying I require that for anything. I was just pointing out that someone made broad, speculative claims about the general medical consensus of things like read meat and sugar, and then used an anecdote to support their own claims about those things. Take from that what you will! I just find it funny and worth mentioning.
How are you going to manage interantionalization, testing, sessions, etc. with just these tools?

(In before people say, "but that's all I need for my blog!" Fine. go ahead and do that then. I'm talking about international huge scale applications)

What you'll do if you stay the purist and need to implement aformentioned services is that you'll eventually end up with some sort of quasi-framework, but bad in the sense that only you (or perhaps your team) know how it 'works'. With most frameworks there are at least opinionated ways to go about implementing all these things, and you can find other teams and consultants who speak this 'language' so to speak.

Being a purist is fine, but it really grinds my gears when people assume vanilla is ALWAYS the solution, and it can 'easily' be applied to things like e commerce shops, huge shared tools, or big social apps. Hint: it can't, unless you like a lot of pain.
