andreime··on State of JavaScript 2021
I've read your comments and it looks like a mess of a codebase, more than a "framework mess". It seems like a bad experience and I would not want to deal with deep inheritance and over-reliance on old/deprecated functionality (computed properties), so... hug.

Controllers are not required for anything except query params mapping. It's perfectly fine, and I think very common, to load data in components. A rule of thumb is to load in the route only the minimum amount of data for your layout to work. As for the million of files ... React co-locates template and logic code while ember-cli generates a js/ts file, a hbs file and a test file. It's either 2 to 3 (if you count a test file for the React component) or 1 to 2 (discard test files). Finding the sweetspot between large components and multiple components is not easy. For example, it was considered a best practice to apply the presentation-container pattern in React, which means 2 components.

I'm not going to say anything about your claim that JSX is regular javascript in the template.

I'm using it as my framework of choice for 5 years and have helped programmers become productive with it. I have used other frameworks and keep up to date with React. I have not fulfilled the survey.

Ember was never very popular. It is sort of similar with how Rails is seen. I've found it very productive and great. I've had issues hiring people because they've heard of Ember, have not used it and don't want to move away from React because (my opinion) it's very popular on LinkedIn and the likes.

The chart mixes frameworks and it makes little sense. Ember and Angular are big frameworks with a sort of standard response for everything. React and Vue are view layers, you eventually build your own framework. I think Svelte also fits here. Stimulus updates the browser with html from a Rails server. Not sure where to put Alpine. They describe it as an updated jQuery-like development thing.

andreime··on AMD Ryzen 6000 Series Mobile CPUs Feature Microsoft's Pluton Security
Sorry if this came across as me saying he is leaking there's no desire to launch Threadripper. To my knowledge he did not leak such a thing, but he was talking about Threadripper not making sense https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8gVyjvSZkg&t=5713s in a new podcast episode. I have not conveyed this well enough in my original comment.
andreime··on AMD Ryzen 6000 Series Mobile CPUs Feature Microsoft's Pluton Security
I'm very sorry but I can't. I listen to podcasts while I do chores so ... yeah.

edit: So, I'm sure there's some other older thoughts/info presented on his podcasts, but it's the latest thing I heard from him talking about the subject:

andreime··on When “Foundation” Gets the Blockbuster Treatment, Asimov’s Vision Gets Lost
One can make the case you can get away with more deviancy in tv shows than in movies. The changes you listed to Dune did not felt to me like they fundamentaly altered the story.

Jessica should be a terrific fighter since she is a Bene Gesserit https://dune.fandom.com/wiki/Bene_Gesserit#Powers_and_Abilit....

I don't agree with this take that it was modified to satisfy PC morality. There were a lot of criticism that Dune is white mesiah for arabs in space. Imagine a change where black Paula together with her partner Chani and Fremen overthrow the male dominated Landsraad.

The movie is basically in line with the books in terms of story: it's not about a hero saving the world; Paul is not an-Aragorn like figure, he is manipulating and taking advantage of prophecies put in place in the collective mind by the Bene Gesserit, in order to further his own goals.

Thanks!
andreime··on Facebook knows Instagram is toxic for teen girls, company documents show
I'm not defending Facebook and I just had some thoughts reading the quotes and am curious what you think of them.

1. I remember that while growing up fashion magazines, actors/actresses and I want to say peer pressure (but am fearful its incorrect) were a big source of body image issues.

2. Maybe it's a side effect of our society or "normal" to have security issues while growing up. We've been having good childhoods for how long - 100 years? Maybe there are some feelings that we never had the option of expressing or feeling.

andreime··on For soccer players, the less brain they use, the better for penalty kicks
The keeper can move. The penalty would be repeated if he doesn't have one foot on the line. There's plenty of GKs that start their jump movement before the ball is kicked.

andreime··on Apple M1 vs. Ryzen 3900X vs. Intel I9 in Software Development
also ... single core performance

m1, like the a* chips are great at single core performance m1, like the a* chips are underwhelming at multi-core performance last gen ryzen was competitive at single core performance, and great at multicore current gen ryzen is great at both

I see the M1 as strong in single core benchmarks, probably because it's an evolution of the iPad's processor, that doesn't do a lot of multitasking, and kinda meh in multicore.

I disconsider geekbench tests because of the disclaimer: "Geekbench 5 is a cross plattform benchmark that heavily uses the systems memory. A fast memory will push the result a lot. The single-core test only uses one CPU core, the amount of cores or hyperthreading ability doesn't count".

This approach ends up blocking you from receiving updates due to do incompatibilities between your changes and upstream so it's not a great solution.
andreime··on How to Train Your OpenAI Five
(edited for more info) That's incorrect. Each team has strategies and preferred heroes and OG won the international ( a sort of world championship ) by ignoring trends and sticking to a limited preferred hero pool. Since then, they've been consistent at underperforming vs. other human team.

So by limiting the amount of heroes, humans are clearly at a disadvantage. In the last international, from the hero pool, 110 heroes were picked and 98 were banned.

The micromanagement claim seems fair when it comes to illusions.

Maybe, like me, he follows the pro scene.

People complain a lot that Europe is stacked (meaning stronger teams) compared to regions like NA, and they get the same amount of slots a TI. South America is probably the weakest region.

I think a lot of people following the competitive scene would agree with what he was saying - that Pain is not top 20 in the world.

I am considered overweight because a doctor calculated my BMI and said I'm two kilos over where I should be. BMI is a the ratio between weight and height. I think it's kind of stupid but it got me labeled as overweight.

Almost all the people I worked with (developers, QAs and managers) have no idea that Linus rants occasionally.
andreime··on “Security problems are primarily just bugs”
I like it when we just assume things.

Someone mentioned Usenet archive from 91 when Linus was just the same.

Nice assumptions though.
