The status quo, globally, is inequality and suffering for many. What a pathetic way of thinking that this must be defended with violence. It's unthinkable for you that this could b…

I'm very glad most of the HN content does indeed satisfy more narrow criteria than "it could be interesting to someone".

Agreed. Someone made a weird font, congrats. Artistic curiosity maybe, but putting this on HN really is a big stretch.

Thought the same, copy-pasting valuable blocks as a reference into a comment worked fine. If it exceeds a one block rewrite, make small dirty commits to keep track of things. On on…

When breathing, always bet on air..

Agreed for map, filter etc. but reduce is the exception. There has been a fad of overusing it, until that article popped up which called it out.

Been through this process. Thing is, when you have a component, you might as well simply write a css module for that component. Tailwind is great for "fast prototyping" and quickly…

The network kind.

Ok, so the implementation-awareness lies in the fake itself, not the code setting up mocks. But creating the fake is part of testing, if you follow this approach. So you're still d…

> why should anyone care about someone else’s test architecture, of all things. As long as you neither under- or over-testing, why on earth does it matter? If you have to maintain …

How are fakes, as described in this article, not also implementation-aware testing?

Yeah of course, if I'm already in the process of acquiring some skill, willing to do all the exercises, look up what I don't understand somewhere else, etc., I will learn that skil…

Some books explicitly claim to teach you a specific skill. And some people have that general expectation towards books. This is what the author criticizes, as I understood their po…

> Only if you are familiar with programing language that has that same syntax does any of it make sense. I'd argue that most relational DB users are familiar with a programming lan…

It's not really all that grey currently. The contrast has in fact gone way up.

No, they're just seeing the veiled beliefs behind the "omg poor centrist me" charade.

How about this: you're in denial about basically being on the edge of the right, and you're using the "both sides" shtick to cling to your centrist label. Imagine touting "both sid…

Post title raises an expectation that is hardly met. So what are the psychological effects? Oh I don't know, here's some random thoughts about C++ code style.

This rather sounds like short term vs. long term decision making, or accumulating debt. What are the "coins" of Greshams's law in your example?

Yes, and it's nonsense. "I needed something to convert markdown to html", "I like the component mental model", "I wanted to use Node libraries for date formatting etc.", "Next has …

We ended up painfully removing it from a large frontend project because the custom classes sprinkled everywhere got out of hand and the design started to look more and more inconsi…

For the study with cars at an intersection, they simply used the model and make of the cars, so an old toyota vs. a new mercedes for example would be on opposite ends of the spectr…

You're aware we have IntersectionObserver now?

Agree with your general point, but I think you're generalizing a bit too much. There's plenty of movies that aren't Top Gun-level propaganda. The Hurt Locker, Jarhead, all the ones…

Yep
