As usual this discussion is people talking past each other because some people work on web sites and others on web applications. React is great for applications, perhaps not as muc…

I feel the killer feature of doing everything in JS is components. I just want to import something from a library and use it. Web pages have their code split between HTML, CSS and …

Spreadsheet software, like Excel.

OTOH, there's spreadsheets. The abstraction is just so great that users can and do use them for anything. The problem seems to be that there's not many such great abstractions to b…

What is done in practice, for daily development use? Building the image in memory from source files at startup?

At any rate, if the AI's side in this conversation were a human, that would be an extremely intelligent human indeed. But there's no way the thinking times would have been that sho…

It's hard to say because it depends on what you're looking at too, of course. But doomscrolling seems to teach your brain to never pay attention to anything for more than a few sec…

But even then, it's still the phone, in my experience. It takes up so many hours but you also don't really rest, and it also tends to keep you up too long at night. If you can repl…

And actual war, given the threats to Greenland. But especially that Microsoft blocked the work email of the ICC lead prosecutor for political reasons, that has all alarm bells ring…

Nice thing is we can render names in English however we want too!

That said, it also has all the self help faults. It repeats itself a lot, is full of happy anecdotes that repeat the same thing yet again, and could have fit in a chapter.

No, we're very resilient bastards, we're going to let the huge majority of species go extinct before we go ourselves. We're already in a mass extinction event and we're just gettin…

I don't think so, this was the first time it happened like that.

I had to replace my previous phone because my banking app dropped support for that Android version, and was going to stop working. The hardware was fine. (I always buy phones in th…
