> And I believe this will be the future of developing SPAs.

I think you can substitute Blazor with a large number of frameworks (RoR, Meteor, django, etc) and find a lot of people who believe it is the future of developing SPAs.

the entire situation is documented in the linked article, so i'm failing to see how that’s hypothetical.

a whole lot of arm chips are too small to reasonably be socketed
crtlaltdel··on Slack’s new WYSIWYG input box is terrible
in my experience it is not uncommon for product development to involve assertions that “some of the users are not the most tech savvy”. i’ve seen this as justification for cutting scope, which i can agree with in many situations even if i disagree with the reasoning. over all, cutting scope had been the right move.

that said, i take exception with these claims that the user is “an idiot”. it comes off as arrogant to me.

i’ve worked in cube farms, on shop floors, in the field at saw mills and open offices and the only time i’ve had an issue with noise was (4) barking dogs in a small office.

crtlaltdel··on OpenSwiftUI – An Open Source Re-Implementation of SwiftUI
bundling hardware like that is not uncommon. i’ve worked with three orgs that did this to one degree or another...and it was always a pain in the ass, in my experience.

i remap capslock to escape regardless of the make/model of laptop i use, so the lack of a physical escape key didn’t really effect me.

i never type with capslock on, and find using it for escape helps my vim workflow

love MtG, started at the end of general availability (locally anyhow) of the beta release around 6th grade. still have cards, still play with my spouse once or twice a year.

i even still buy the occasional booster pack.

crtlaltdel··on Is Publishing Too Top-Heavy?
i've been back and forth on this.

for a while i was very much into ebooks for many of the reasons others on this thread have sited, but eventually started purchasing physical copies again. part of this was uncovering a well-worn copy of Dune in a box. it was printed sometime in the early 1970's and everything from the cracked spine to the yellowed pages to the "sale, 10¢" written in a flowing script the inside cover brings a nostalgic value i couldnt possible replicate with an ebook (for painfully obvious reasons). furthermore, on uncovering this book i found the bookmark to be the receipt from the bookstore that i purchased it from a decade ago. other books on my shelf contain similar personal items such as a postcard welcoming my daughter to kindergarten, a $1 silver certificate i found in my change years ago, a receipt from a store that i used to frequent as a teenager whose proprietor has since passed away...

If you look at the code in the repo, each component has comments (jsdoc?) which are parsed and rendered as part of the storybook:

i suspect the choice of GPLv3 was not well informed, given the nature of the code in question.
crtlaltdel··on Tools for faster back end development BaaS
im not sure just what they are going for here...i’d not count auth0 as a “baas” offering...this reads more like a quasi jamstack business function api list...
crtlaltdel··on The manager’s schedule is holding remote work back
this is interesting, and something i've experienced from both ends of the conversation.

from the perspective of managing technical teams i've only found the "manager's schedule" (as described) to be a bother to _me_ and _my_ time management. this has been a major pain in the ass when i had to kick out feature work and caused me to spend several super late nights to wrap things up. this didn't affect my team directly; no doubt my exhaustion impacted my mood and thus my interactions. not sure if i was a total dick (never got that kinda feedback, direct or indirect...but how knows...), but i certainly more than once had the posture of defeat as i shuffled from a pairing session to a strategy meeting.

i tried my hardest to create a big sandbox the devs could own and (mostly) self organize. with the help of sympathetic product managers we switched from scrum to kanban and dropped physical standups (and their associated shitty conference call experience) for a dedicated slack channel. we leaned heavily on tech and a couple basic asks such as "try to post status around the same time every day", "important communication goes in email, not in slack", "if you know your schedule, add it to the team calendar" and so on. it was not perfect but it worked out...for the that team, project and business conditions.

now, i have also certainly (and most commonly) experienced shitty remote situations where people on the speakerphone are forgotten, work from home is viewed as a negative and local time is gravely disrespected.

crtlaltdel··on Zuckerberg doubles down on Facebook political ads policy after Twitter ban
don't "traditional" media outlets already decide what ads to run, and reject ads that do not meet their standards (along with any applicable regulatory constraints)? i was under the impression that even the Penny Saver circulars reserve the right to deny ad placements based on their own, internal standards.

obviously i don't know much about this area...if anyone has canonical references they could point to i'd love to learn more.
