Article has so much fluff and only some very coarse information like (we sharded writes, yay!). Almost no detail just keywords for SEO, or whatever they’re aiming for. There’s also…

I think that we cannot separate it from amount of free cash people have. Inflation, layoffs, etc. People simply want to limit their spending on less important things. It just has t…

I just mean you won’t write a video codec or a 3d renderer in JS. It will never get there. Just leave these things to WebAssembly where needed and leave JS as a slow, dynamic langu…

Nobody needs classes nor prototypes in JS. Objects + functions is more than enough. I stopped using these few years ago and miss nothing.

Please stop. What a nonsense. JS is a dynamic language where everything is a Hashtable. It will never be really fast as your structs won’t be in single cacheline, you won’t be able…

It’s just like with cookies. I believe that lawmakers were honest and really wanted for companies to limit amount of tracking in the web. What we did get instead is a lot of „we va…

You see, I just don’t think more honest wins us anything. I’ve seen too many „We value your privacy” popups already.

Maybe I have misunderstood the article, but for me it looks like another „cookies” law. They are not proposing to force media companies to make sure you have access to your media f…

Yeah, maybe I've got too old-school thinking. Or maybe just worked on too many failed startups :). But the overall cheapness of our industry is driving me crazy. I happily use prop…

Of course money != value, but don't pretend that REST client is charity or fight for freedom or something. It's a wrench. And wrench should have its price on the shelf. Unfortunate…

Yeah, exactly because of that we have no nice tools for devs. All is built either to get a better job (and then abandoned) or you cannot sell it (and then you abandon it). If we we…

I still wonder why people do this. Build an end-user product and give it away for free. It’s just making our work look worthless and kills small software companies. Cool, share you…

Exactly. The most eco product is the one you don’t produce. Longevity and reuse is what we really should strive for.

Yeah, I mean they are all different when it comes to tools around web page itself, but compatibility & web performance will be similar to the rendering/js engine.

It’s JSC + Webkit => so it’s just Safari in disguise

I just wanted to say that I love you man. We are so crazy as devs. We’re outraged when someone wants few dollars for their app. Especially when it’s a one guy trying to make a livi…

I just thought that people moved to Electron for cross-platform and to native otherwise. Java was not particularly fast nor native-looking on desktop. I’ve spent quite a few years …

I’m not sure about that. I think the OpenAI deals the cards here. They have the model and the data. If these media outlets fire creative people there’s nothing they have that OpenA…

I hope that these media companies realize sooner than later, that if their content is AI generated, there’s no reason to go there. We’ll just skip the middlemen and go straight to …

Hmm, I thought that JavaFX is effectively dead, after it was removed from JDK. Haven’t seen any app made with it for ages. But maybe now, that we have GraalVM Java will make a come…

I've built a small queue/cron service that you can use in your backend or serverless code to handle async (do it later) or scheduled jobs. So many times I've had to hack a simple q…

I love Firefox. And still use it from time to time. But I think that the only reason they are still alive is that Google needs Firefox to cover up its monopoly in browser market. H…

I agree. That's actually one of few problems with having just canvas - accessibility. Most libraries would not have it, and it would be a disaster for disabled users, but... That's…

We needed them because platform was too high level, not because we had not enough web APIs. If we could have a canvas and means to render efficiently, there would be no plugins nec…
