I never, ever bothered to learn React.

Stuck with .NET/C#.

If I have to write web UI, I use Angular, Blazor, and Razor MVC.

React never made any sense to me, and the more I saw people using it, the more it reconfirmed my belief that it was a no-go.

Usually, people win if they do the opposite of what the mass is doing :)
I'm confused why you feel embarrassed? Do you think they feel embarrassed that you can write React yet don't know how to write patches for the Linux kernel?

It's a different domain with a different skillset.
I've always rationalised it as:

When you're one years old, 1 year is your whole life.

When you're 100 years old, 1 year is 1/100th of your life.
For crossplatform mobile development, the only viable solutions in 2024 are React and Flutter, and the former has a wide ecosystem already while the latter uses a programming language, framework, and ecosystem only used in that particular use case.

> While there were early signs that the browser ballot screen was influencing browser usage in the EU, with Mozilla attributing some European Firefox growth to the selection page, long-term trends strongly suggest that it was next to useless. In spite of equally prominent placement on the selection screen, Opera's share even within Europe appears to have declined over the last five years. So too have Firefox and Internet Explorer. Chrome, however, has experienced significant growth.
I'd heard "There's no bad weather, only bad clothing" growing up in a USA state with a high number of German, Dutch, and Finnish immigrants. We also played outside unsupervised a lot 30 years ago (but we also played a lot of video games). I don't think the children where I grew up are still playing outside unsupervised -- I believe it's not entirely legal anymore.
Life has a lot more suffering because people like you don't give a shit about causing suffering to others. And it is not in evidence that this example of suffering is a necessary evil.

I'm open to capitalist solutions to the lack of a safety net for people who get fired, but a) you're not proposing any, because you don't see other people's suffering as a problem, i.e. you're an amoral danger to society and b) H.N.-style "all regulation is bad" isn't even capitalism--a free market requires a strong central authority to prevent anticompetitive practices. If you see all government intervention as anti-capitalist it's pretty clear you haven't actually read Adam Smith's works. You aren't even capitalist, you're just pro-corporate for selfish reasons.
I had my mobile phone die out of the blue. I sync everything, so I wasn't worried, but later on I realized I had lost some old ringtones and notification sounds I quite liked. Nothing terrible, but it definitely showed me the importance of testing your backups (whenever you buy a new phone).

I don’t think it’s dismissing compiler improvements, I think it’s dismissing compiler astronautics when there already is a good, performant solution at hand.

Though to be fair to Facebook, in 2004 there were no good web languages. The choice was between weird enterprise stuff like WebObjects, JavaEE and ColdFusion, or small pragmatic languages with clumsy implementations like Python, Ruby and PHP.
> "The most likely root cause for the booster RUD (rapid unscheduled disassembly) was determined to be filter blockage where liquid oxygen is supplied to the engines, leading to a loss of inlet pressure in engine oxidizer turbopumps that eventually resulted in one engine failing in a way that resulted in loss of the vehicle," the company stated. "SpaceX has since implemented hardware changes inside future booster oxidizer tanks to improve propellant filtration capabilities and refined operations to increase reliability."
I hope he takes them to the cleaners.

I buy power tools tools quite regularly and it is almost impossible to find anything decent amongst the utter garbage with made up names. Some of these things are death traps and Amazon does not seem to give a crap.

another month, another post complaining about react and claiming that its slow and hard... But its not hard, at all. Learning core react functinoality (which will let you make complex apps on its own) takes 2-3 hours (if you're a slow reader), and performance is fine. 99% of the time its not the tool, its the app's code being slow, and when its slow, its easy to fix most of the time

I wonder how they got that $240 figure for SoC, I would have thought the marginal cost of a chip to be much much smaller? Of course attaching any price tag to in-house part is going to be problematic.
Most consumers haven't.

Most advertising agencies have.

Some campaigns German consumers would be aware of:

- Saturn, "Geiz ist geil"

- Edeka, "Supergeil"

- Sparkasse, "08/15 Bank" (very beige board meetings)

- Bild, "Bild dir deine Meinung"

Basically if you've seen any catchy ad campaign on German television in the past thirty years it was probably made by them. You don't have to like their work or think that it's good but they've been extremely successful and so have been many of their campaigns.

The mathematical notation isn't very useful here. It's OK to use words to describe doing things with words! Apart from that, neat idea, although I would wager a small amount that quining the prompt makes it a much less effective defence.
The messy ethics of making war with machines
> React’s logical model of recreating the UI on change of state is incredibly difficult to do right at scale. By that I mean that as applications and teams get larger, the chances of writing components with side effects increases due to differing levels of skill, knowledge, experience, and simply having a larger body of code to cover.

This is a problem with all UI libraries. React at least makes it difficult to write components with side effects.
Just checked, my eldest is a 2007 lexar "twist n turn" 4GB, last formatted in 2019 with intel lan drivers on it, still 100% reliable, files on it verify ok.
Yes, if an aspect of React’s ecosystem makes it easier to deliver the project.

For example React Native seems like a nifty way to deliver mobile app functionality with less code/functionality duplication and simpler staffing. I might be out of the loop, is there something similar building on React alternatives?

Certainly React is not the only option these days, thank god.

I know at least one CTO who was fired for picking IBM. And, BTW, nobody should ever be fired for making an honest mistake. He listened to the wrong advice and acquired lots of gear that was a poor fit for our needs.

Or, as Thomas J. Watson Sr. allegedly said:

“Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?”

There is already a body of research on the perception of time as a function of age, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_perception#Changes_with_a....

It stems from a few things, and novelty is only one factor. (Also, it is not only that the world begins (to us) as full of novelty, but also most people gradually transition from exploration to exploitation.)

In addition to remembering previous events, there is also how fast we process information (e.g. reaction times). It seems that as we are getting longer, we get fewer clock ticks per second. (On an interesting take on that, read a short story "Exhalation" by Ted Chiang.)
but as long as you are telling the compiler through a first class API, it's not brittle because there compiler knows the meaning and intent of the statement, and therefore can avoid optimizing it in invalid ways.

This is one of those things that seems true, but is it? They’ve presented no evidence whatsoever. Even the question itself carries with it an assumption. Does time seem to pass faster as we age? I bet you could find some people for whom it does not.

This question of "facing things" is what bothers me. Sure, science and

complex vector, and it isn't easy to have 'purpose' (telos) see where
we should be going.

But what I see here every day is very intelligent, witty, well read

extraordinary intellectual acrobatics of denial and apologetics just
makes me weep. And so many who just down-vote challenging questions

Time as you perceive it, is related to new memories you make.

The problems with depopulation is that there is no permanent vacuum. If the countryside is empty it will refill, whether you mean for it or not. Whether this is good or bad is not the point here, but that it will happen. Japan is an island nation that doesnt encourage migrants, so they may put it off. The best thing they can do is make a controlled immigration scheme.
> We seem to have stumbled over the solution to overpopulation. Wealth.

I'd be careful about drawing that conclusion. Wealth historically has been associated with a higher fertility rate.

There's almost certainly multiple factors at play here, but my guess is that cultures where women are less free to pursue careers and where religious values promote childbirth have a demographic advantage. And it just so happens that these cultures are also poorer on average.

If you look within multi-cultural countries you'll find that populations which hold conservative religious values in regards to sex, and population that are less likely to promote women's rights tend to have higher much higher fertility rates.
A Fun Line of Code – David Bushell
I agree with the sentiment that JS is the wrong language for React, but it’s not such a big deal in practice.

The key is to write your own hooks specialized for the project, then the complexity is isolated into one place where you are expecting it, instead of dispersed across your project. If you are trying to write everything using the built-in hooks then you’re going to have a bad time.
Sometimes what people think is quickness is actually extensive prep. I had a 30 minute meeting the other day to ask a team to do something I didn’t think they would want to do. It ended up going really smoothly and they just took my word for it, but had they not, I spend several hours preparing for that meeting, gathering data, preparing charts to illustrate the data, thinking of the possible objections and responses to said objections.

Many years ago my family was trying to see Letterman in NYC. I wasn’t old enough, and we knew that going in. The night before, when I was supposed to be sleeping, I was going over what I thought I might need to know. When was my fake birthday, why don’t I have an ID, etc. On the day, I was asked these questions by security and gave a quick and natural answer. Afterword my dad commented that I was really quick and good at thinking on my feet, but the truth was that I prepared.

Another show in that slot being more profitable does mean that the show already in there isn't. The time slot is a resource that the show consumes; if it can't afford to pay for that resource, then it's unprofitable.
I thought I was agreeing with you, what was your point then?

I added the following to the latest Cactus documentation updates:

- Added sources links related to Microsoft requiring online activation during
Windows 11's OOBE stage to the "Windows 11+ will not be supported" section
of the Cactus documentation. I will not accept the premise that I need to use
a Microsoft Account, or require online activation at the OOBE stage, for me to
use my own computer, and I definitely won't accept the use of "workarounds"
to bypass that requirement as a justification to use that OS. That requirement
should not be there in the first place. This is the same thing Microsoft already forces people to do on the Xbox One. When you first buy the console, one of the first things you need to do is log into their servers. Your console is useless until you do that. That's unacceptable. I'm not surprised they are moving in that direction with Windows in general, and I'm not accepting it.

```
Similar to Windows 11 Home edition, Windows 11 Pro edition now requires internet connectivity during the initial device setup (OOBE) only. If you choose to setup device for personal use, MSA will be required for setup as well. You can expect Microsoft Account to be required in subsequent WIP flights.
```

- Source 2 - May 5, 2022 - Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 22616 - https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2022/05/05/announcing-windows-11-insider-preview-build-22616/

```
Previously, we shared new requirements for internet and MSA on the Windows 11 Pro edition. Today, Windows Insiders on Windows 11 Pro edition will now require MSA and internet connectivity during the initial device setup (OOBE) only when setting up for personal use. If you choose to setup device for Work or School, there is no change, and it will work the same way as before.

```
If the problem with the second work-around (the reason it's not satisfactory) is that it's not supported as part of the platform, forcing you to use a "trick" to "outsmart the compiler", then C# has this solved: System.GC.KeepAlive [1] is an official part of the .NET platform and documented to do exactly this, so presumably Microsoft would not break it when making changes to the GC.

Am I the only one, who is frightened, that current stable version of React is almost two years old? Even if React#19 will be mostly backwards compatible (I hope), how many subtle differences will be introduced?
Yeah I understand the sentiment there. Now fast forward a few years to when a new government is elected that perhaps doesn't reflect your sensibilities.

Now they can use this apparatus to promote their version of the truth (might actually be false) and to suppress yours (which might actually be true).

What do you do now? How do you even mount a criticism of this entity? They'll likely work very hard to suppress your criticism and label you a misinformer.
I think JvM Tech is more of a "vertical integration" than replicating in tech what JvM does in advertising.

I'm also not convinced most of their customers get a significant ROI from picking them over more "down to earth" agencies. I think in many cases it's just wanting to have some of the prestige of JvM without actually being a good fit for them.
Nice! But I got it to freeze under higher load. Removing the load does not help.
I meant I was embarrassed that these experienced engineers have to put up with some of the bad parts (I think) of web dev, that React (hooks) has a lot of unnecessary complexity and requires some unique mindset you have to train specifically for, unlike other frameworks have more direct and more intuitive solutions to the problem and I believe will be trivial for these engineers to get a grasp on.
I was always told it's because as you age a year becomes a smaller portion of your life. When you are 35 a year is 1/35th of your life, compared to 1/5th as a 5 year old.
> Also, that's the benefits of credit cards - that you can still issue a charge back, and credit card companies very much favor the consumer rather than the merchant.

So your suggestion is to issue a chargeback.. to get money back that should under the terms of whatever service you signed up for be owed?.

That seems like bordering on fraud tbh.

> Additionally, when you set that limit people then get upset because usually when they go over it for a good reason, like going viral, they aren't anticipating it, and just when their traffic is most valuable the site is down.

Legit concern and something I mentioned, I'm gonna guess there are broad two camps on that one - mine which is "I want a safety ripcord" and "whee, nice problem to have".

However since this entire conversation is around a guy who got a massive invoice because of a bill he wasn't expecting and couldn't have set such a limit I'm still gonna go with a "I want a way to constrain the financial downside - hell turn it off by default but give me the option".

Since broadly a lot of cloud stuff doesn't, I'll constrain it a different way.
> detaching their craft from the business purpose it serves

Amen. This is the classical principal/agent problem and affects everyone all the time, not just programmers. But the amount of disregard for the overall business goal can be astounding.
The weirdest part is "compiler improvement is the wrong approach" then pushing Svelte, Solid, etc which ALL REQUIRE custom compilers. At least the React team is looking to make any added compiler optional.
At least it comes out better than that stock image website's rendition: "MÃ¶ckernbrÃ¼cke"!
I wonder the kind of sensor package they fly to be able to get to this conclusion. I have a real passion for monitoring things (for me, mostly web apps and data/message flows) and this is a really interesting case.

"They even did the video compositing in Blender, which is... pretty insane from my perspective."

I feel like that's taking the commenter's quote out of context, or at least missing the point. They aren't arguing that PFAS aren't everywhere, or even that they aren't harmful. They're arguing that, in the grand scheme of things, the harm produced by PFAS to humans is relatively inconsequential, especially when you consider all the improvements that technology, broadly, has brought to the human condition.

To emphasize, I think that point is very debatable, but I don't know enough about the real harms of PFAS to comment. But I do think it's valid to have a substantive debate on the true harms of PFAS, even if the other side of that debate is that comparing ourselves now to a time when the majority of kids died is the wrong yardstick.

1. Forgiven many, is Netlify forgiving all obvious anomalies? Is the question, which if so but you said many so it is a no, it would make you reconsider the next point

Cloud is not cheap.

You trade "waste", and high up-front cost, for a significantly hightened sustained cost.

You trade setting up systems and proper prior planning for understanding proprietary interfaces and understanding cost systems.

It's too far to say it's a scam: it's a trade-off.

There are much cheaper on-prem solutions and there are cheaper cloud systems.

The difference is that the cloud ones TCO is only lower at either absurdly small volumes or absurdly spiky loads (IE; a website that only operates at full load for 3hrs a day and is otherwise under 1 request per hour)
