Maybe. Was it wrong to call Madoff a fraudster in the early 2000s? Now, I don't think this is necessarily a Madoff situation, or even a dotcom one. Ed Zitron is certainly not Marko…

Maybe all of those authors exploring dystopian cyberpunk settings were onto something.

Tbf, he only has to get it right once.

I guess my point was that it doesn't matter whether your framework/library is immutable/mutable/retained/functional/MVC/MVVM or whatever. You're hitting platform limitations one wa…

Fair, the standard library is not quite so awful. There are still some pretty long names in it though. https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/23/docs/api/java.base... Or this 6 wor…

No offense, but this doesn't seem like a realistic way to look at things. Autodesk (since you mentioned CAD) itself dates back to 1980s. And even then, they had at least 15 people …

To make complex layouts (flex, ...) and have them run performantly you need some form of a retained backing state anyways. The main difference between various retained, OOP, functi…

How much of this is that most of these tools have been around for 20+ years and come from a time where OOP was the holy grail coming to save humanity?

I mean, it's not quite that easy. The web is a lot more dynamic than WPF. If you just want virtualized homogeneous lists, there are libraries for that (and grids). But, once you st…

Stuff like virtualization (if we're talking about stuff like virtualized lists) is hard not because of React, but because there just isn't any support for it in browsers. React doe…

It's clearly still very popular. https://survey.stackoverflow.co/2025/technology#1-web-framew...

Ok, it's possible that my bilingual ahh is misunderstanding the comment. Maybe we can try to come to an understanding? I read that comment as "Show me where [long classnames] are i…

That's a very uncharitable take on what I said. A comment that I've written semi-sarcastically as a reply to someone accusing me of supporting slavery. Now, I'm fully aware that it…

The current economic system is based on people working in exchange for payment. They can then use it on their own life, including living space, food, health and entertainment. Thos…

I wish I could share your optimism.

Only insofar as you were able to keep a job. If you lose your job to automation, and there are no more jobs left, what do you do? Where do you get the money to keep your standard o…

So it can both outprice people as well as take their jobs? Well, leeway away.

Just as the author is free to chose their own forge, Codeberg is free to set their own rules. It's not like Codeberg is a monopoly for hosting FOSS. People who buy (and pay extra) …

A really dumb 1 AM question. If there is a lot of work thrown away because stuff is compiled even if not needed, would making every function generic and delaying compilation until …

It's funny, but a large reason for why Go was chosen was explicitly because it has semantics close to TypeScript and that made it automatable: https://github.com/microsoft/typescri…

I wonder what the click through rate is for the source links. Based on what I've been hearing, it's very low. And that's if the particular LLM/interface/answer even bothers to add …

I'm sorry, but just mentioning TIOBE has killed any credibility you might have had. I mean, seriously, look at the list. JavaScript at #6, when it should be at #1? Trailed by Visua…

Is it a CVE that an app running on my PC could actually be running under GDB? It's the entire purpose of these tools.
