This is myopic “Silicon Valley” rhetoric and lacks understanding of art or why it’s appreciated. We have video cameras and movies, yet stage actors on Broadway are celebrated like …

> Next.js and TanStack Start don't send any JavaScript to the client if you decide to server-render everything. AFAIK, this isn’t true. And you still get more JS per interactive el…

Sure. I personally think SPAs/React have better DX than HTMX. IMO, the most compelling reasons to use HTMX instead (for building dynamic/interactive web applications) are to reduce…

Adopting something like HTMX is primarily a UX choice, and the language you use to serve it is almost irrelevant to UX. JavaScript is a nice backend language. It’s fast, has a mass…

There are no concrete numbers for Valorant that I know of, but the “Head of Esports Partnerships and Business Development for North America & Oceania Riot Games” Matthew Archambaul…

Do keep in mind: they also develop, maintain, support, and market Unreal Engine, which is possibly the most advanced and innovative game engine out there. It’s used by tons of othe…

I think online/digital gambling is worse because it follows you everywhere. I don’t like any form of gambling, but at least with casinos there’s some escape in not physically being…

I play video games at a decently high level (like top ~10% in a few competitive games). To support what you’re saying, I can tell the difference between 144hz and 240hz if I’m in c…

WASM does not need to access the DOM to be extremely useful. JS is already very effective and ridiculously fast for updating the DOM. WASM is to offload computationally expensive w…

Look around the world at how many “landslide” election victories are won in places that do not truly have elections. Those with authoritarian intent are notorious for controlling t…

Cloudflare is not profitable [1]. I’m wary of what might happen when they need to become profitable. Could this be another case of a company offering an excellent, cheap product wh…

Taco Bell will never be the healthiest thing you can eat, but in terms of fast food, it’s not half bad. In my anecdotal experience, their quality has gone up across the board compa…
