I didn't meant to blame ORM, only highlight the (mis)use of them in this type of scenario - but yes, you are correct. It is an abuse of the repository - ORM or other. :)

It can be extended upon.. I see a lot of ORM based solutions that pull a full record just to check a single property sometimes. E.g.: var user = repository.GetUserById(userId); ret…

shrug The switch to PNG was in haste after we suddenly saw our icons etc all using whatever the last loaded SVG looks like. We already have a PNG "solution" (more like a hack.. som…

Hooks themselves may not be good FP examples, however I meant the resultant functional components that you develop yourself usually are.

It's a no-go for this use case. Simply because we cannot manipulate the SVG's attributes (at least not as easily) when using them within img tags. Can when they are "inlined". We r…

Likewise most of the hooks (useReducer being the obvious primary example), and functional components in general. That's how 99% of functional programming is done - state and functi…

I decided to switch from SVG with build time manipulation of attributes (scale, colours, rotation, etc) to an image optimisation library (and soon probably a saas like imgix). I'd …

Noted, thanks.

Recently switched from SVGs to PNGs because the toolset the designers are using means every SVG has the same HTML ID attribute value. So when rendering >1 SVG on a page, they all r…

I see the usual OneTrust modal, with a giant, very easy to locate "Reject All" button at the bottom of the modal. https://imgur.com/uZmlGlc

Yes, he posted more information in an answer on Quora[1] to clarify why he felt he was turned down. [1]: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin...

The very premise of this (sub)thread is one of "more users == providing more value" so .. yes, for this conversation, it matters.

Literally all of them link scientific papers, if you'd care to read. And it's not "self-infection" that masking is a protection of. Nobody has claimed that. You wear a mask to prot…

We have them already. Xmpp/jabber, IRC, and even email.

Before the internet we were passing video tapes/films, magazines, and prints around with porn and gore. Pre-teen me saw a lot of the kind of things you mention before the internet …

Sunk cost is/was my conclusion. At one firm in ~2013, advertising was bringing in $600k revenue per annum - we estimated a loss of potentially triple that (!) - but the response wa…

For more than a decade I've been campaigning (to any of my employers that utilise adverts on their platform) to drop adverts with the primary factor being that of performance for p…

Nobody has said it should be except for you. As I said it will occur but you should strive to spread information and learning as much as is reasonable.

That's "Siloing" which is considered a negative pattern. If X is the expert, then only X can work on that something*. X is now a bottle neck. Natural siloing happens, but you (team…

Has your team productivity actually dropped? You mention things that are supplemental to productivity but nothing about the actual productivity itself. If not, then I suspect there…

Terrible and dishonest analogy. The very reason this went undetected for 15 months is because the bridge _didn't_ fall down. There were no signs of a "break in" and it's wholly imp…

You simply cannot ignore the wider context here. The new leadership is moving development to cheaper regions and, if the interviews and comments about "entitlement" etc are to be b…

Damn, I figured it could have been. :)
