andreigheorghe··on WebSockets vs. Server-Sent-Events vs. Long-Polling vs. WebRTC vs. WebTransport
I think what they mean is that yes, the signalling needs to be done over "traditional" web APIs (websockets, etc), but that's just for discovering/negotiating the p2p connections. The actual data transfer between the peers then happens over UDP which can have a bunch of advantages over TCP for some scenarios.

andreigheorghe··on Fetch API has landed into Node.js
the value the js community gets from `fetch` being a unified standard is far, far greater than the benefit you as a developer would get from not having to add 15 extra LOC around `fetch`, that you'll probably hide behind a `fetchJSON` function anyway.
andreigheorghe··on ‘Misogynistic’ Apple hire is out hours after employees call for investigation
You're going awfully out of your way to not engage with the arguments you're presented with by other people, dismissing them with sardonic one-liners, and making wild assumptions about the motives and thought processes of the Apple employees. If you're not trolling, I suggest you take a couple steps back and reassess the situation, because you're not coming across as a reasonable person.

not sure if they added this literally in the last 18 hours, but the usual CMD+Z undo shortcut seems to work for me.

No, it's a reverse funnel system.

You're lying and gaslighting.

andreigheorghe··on The Product-Minded Software Engineer
You expect a (good) product manager to be reasonably technically competent so that they can carry a conversation with business/customers without having to go back to engineering every time to ask "Is this possible?".

Similarly, you can expect a software engineer to be somewhat product competent so they can push back on bad ideas, proactively suggest better ways of doing things, and even connect the business dots and propose entire classes of new features that the PM maybe didn't even realise were possible / within reach.

It's not two roles in one, it's not working 16 hours / day, it's just having the right mix of experience and intuition such that you're still primarily an engineer but you help guide the product.

Nice work moving the goalposts :)

If, being aware of everything that's happening around us, you still choose to represent reality as "ridiculous conspiracy theorizing", then you're either in a cult, or a dedicated troll, neither of which I'm interested in wasting my time debating.

andreigheorghe··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
You just can't stick to the topic, can you? You seem to have specific obsessions that you feel the need to drag into the discussion. Get some fresh air and try behaving like an adult.
andreigheorghe··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
That's a load of rubbish that you've either made up, or swallowed without thinking.
andreigheorghe··on Twitter says it will restrict retweeting world leaders who break rules
Nope, the subject is "Twitter controlling the discourse is different than the Russian government controlling the discourse", nothing to do with what you're trying to deflect to. Try to focus on that.

Changing the subject seems to be a common tactic when you've run out of good faith arguments.

> stating, without any evidence, that somehow conservatives claiming victimization is par for the course is about as low value as a comment can get

> the left wing using their utter domination of prestige media outlets to marginalize right wing ideas and viewpoints in the popular discourse

If you can't see the irony here then I can't help you.

Also, the "marginalized right wing ideas" meme is getting old. The only people who are deplatformed are the ones that are inciting hate and spreading literally fake news. Are those the kind of right wing ideas that you're worried about being marginalized, or did you have some examples about the left wing media cabal censoring ideas about how much of a role government should play in society, and how much we should be taxed? Be more specific if you want to be taken seriously.

andreigheorghe··on Facebook is testing hiding like counts to see if that makes people feel better
You keep ignoring the fact that it's a baby account pushing a agenda that's ridiculously off topic. In no way is that the same as someone's biased opinion, no matter how much you try to force that point. Are you seriously not aware that we live in the middle of a misinformation war?
andreigheorghe··on Facebook is testing hiding like counts to see if that makes people feel better
One is a fake account pushing misinformation, the other is a real person sharing their succinct, if low signal, opinion. So, not really the same thing. This thread is a dumpster fire for sure, but it's disingenuous of you to try to "both sides" it in this day and age when online discourse is being DDoSed by trolls like OP.

Did you just create an account to inject some conservative victimization into a story that has absolutely no connection to that?

His premise is that "anybody could learn coding if they tried", whereby "tried" I assumed applies to only the people who passed those two rounds of self-selection you describe.
