"You’re not competing with React’s technical merits—you’re competing with React’s statistical dominance" is the industry so bad, that it can't decide framework on technical merit?
I am so enraged when allegations alone cause some people to act as if they were conviction. All these people should now restore all lost things bit by bit. Lost money, job, experience, health, contacts, opinion of all people that they managed to break. Acting based solely on accusations is acting in bad, not good faith.
Just another factor creating electro-junk. Currently I can install 30 year old system on 30 year old hardware (assuming that I keep both the machine and the installation media in a good shape). With current computers it will be impossible because they will be "unsupported".
I finally decided few days ago to try this Claude Code thing in my personal project. It's depressingly efficient. And damn expensive - I used over 10 dollars in one day.
But I'm afraid it is inevitable - I will have to pay tax to AI overlords just to be able to keep my job.
Oooh, my heroes! I hate when stated policy is treated as "just a paper" and ignored. I understand that sometimes it's temporary/transitional - OK, it happens. But when rule is present for long time and it becomes de facto standard to disregard it - either change the rule or start following it.
This is actually good. I have a problem in keeping order in various areas of my life, work and even entertainment. But the things that I do keep in order (browser tabs, open files) actually use that rule. Either something is permanent by my decision or it is temporary.
Thank you for sharing.
I'm still baffled by difference between Audacity on Windows and Linux. On Windows I have n+1 recording devices, where n is number of microphones, the 1 being stereo mix. On Linux I have gazillion cryptic names and I pray for each of them to even work. And neither of them is stereo mix, for such advanced feature I have to enable external mixer.
Going full circle on the clock looks like achieving full inner-platform effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inner-platform_effect. In short - we make our application so configurable that the "configuration" language mimics the platform our application is wrote in, albeit poorly.
I hate when I rely on others following the rules and they screw me over by breaking them. We had "focus hours" at work. They would have been amazing if not for some special individuals that decide it's OK to waste my 15 minutes to save their 10. Now we don't have focus hours. Or we should document everything on wiki. But why do it when better "documentation" is "ask A". And A is on vacation. That's why I despise rule breakers, they almost always make someone's life worse. And that someone else follows the rules.
Rules should be for everybody or nobody.
In my country if you are on employee agreement, you are just paid for overtime. My company never made any problems with that payment. And surprise...there were always people who chose to take the additional hours. I was often among them - the additional money/vacation was just too nice to resist.
Checked it on something without any life impact - Minecraft base locations. Seems to work well. The biggest problem exists with elements on Pareto front - so I have to decide between good in one thing and good on another thing instead of good and worse. But pairwise comparison still helps to determine which tradeoff is better for me.
Ah, patent rights, when even legality of something can be debatable. How the heck is anyone supposed to follow the law if for every action A they have to ask lawyer if A is legal?
