If the client/user doesn't ask to connect, there is no connection.

Isn't it more like "users of Netflix are responsible for 15% of Internet traffic"? What would Netflix traffic be without its users? Or are we talking just about their CDN synchroni…

Few decades ago it didn't matter much whether you live in the capital, in a small town or in a village, today the capital is much more desirable than either of the other places. No…

Where I live it's normal to live in apartments. Entire houses are pretty much inaccessible to anyone except the richest - and they are all split into apartments anyways. This is no…

I didn't say average, I said it's not unusual. Obviously you need to be good to get to that level. But you can do it without any schools, just by sitting down at home and learning,…

I'm European, from the former Eastern Bloc.

> In the US. Everywhere else, that's incredibly unusual. 5x the average wage in the UK is 150k plus - that's _very_ unusual. I am in Europe and it's normal here. Maybe not the UK, …

> financial struggles Talking about the general population, sure. But we're talking about software engineers, the most highly paid while at the same time the most accessible profes…

Well, sure. I guess nobody thinks that the dopamine just appears/disappears by itself. Of course there is an underlying structural cause. But currently we're unable to image live p…

I looked and didn't see any such news. Do you have any links?

You sure? Schizophrenia is directly linked to dopamine. So is ADHD, but in the opposite way (not enough dopamine). Both were demonstrated on fMRI. Psychosis is a physical issue in …

There's a massive difference in how I use a forum and how I use a company management system. MPA is fine for a forum, not for a company management system. This is the web indeed, a…

What can I do? Do you have a suggestion for a different HRIS? All of these that have all needed features are bloated OOP apps in PHP...

You can do that with a SPA. All SPAs I made and most of the ones I use support it just fine.

There's no AJAX call in a SPA if all I did was close a detail side-pane to get back to the listing. The AJAX call goes on in background if I saved a modification and I can continue…

This is a forum, not a management system where I need to open dozens of listings and hundreds of different detail pages and make modifications there. It also doesn't bother me much…

Well yeah - you'd need to write that native code wrapper, which kind of defeats some of the purpose of React Native (not having to write native code).

I don't get why nobody tries to make something like React Native that would provide interface to the native components.

I've been evaluating some self-hosted/open source company management systems this weekend. Most of them are classic multi-page PHP apps. It's terrible. I can't stand how it always …

I see it much more simply. It makes you feel a sense of wonder through magical abilities, places and creatures - it's fantasy. It talks about advanced civilizations with unknown/im…

At least all the other species within Federation did the same, many of them before the Federation even existed or before humans did it, though many of them got Federation help afte…

Agreed on all being fantasy but > All of humanities memories somehow encoded in DNA Why not? The Dune universe is in a very far future, the books are happening 10 thousand years af…

Well the issue remains the same with Bussard ramjets. It's just simpler to make so the whole scenario is more likely (though still very unlikely, ofc).

Deepness in the Sky is good too, avoid Children of the Sky
