denismenace··on Why don't more developers “use the platform”?
This misses the point completely for repeated arguments that make no sense "Its historical ...".

The reality is, you lose programmatic control when you use HTML directly. Its much easier to have Dialog component that reacts to its state, than to use the native dialog tag.

denismenace··on Zig’s Io.Threaded is neat
As the name suggest `std.debug.print` is a short hand for debug printing. In a CLI app for example you should use IO.
denismenace··on OpenRouter is joining Stripe
Why? How do these relate?
denismenace··on Children's stunted lungs show recovery in ultra low emission zone
Good catch, wrote this on the go. The first stat is a study on Canadians, the second is from another source which is global.
denismenace··on Scientists stunned by children's lung recovery in ultra low emission zone
The lifetime risk is approximately 1.3% for women and 1.8% for men. For regular smokers: 11.2% for women and 14.8% for men. So about 15 to 30 more likely to get lung cancer. Bringing that down to 4x is close to "almost the same".
denismenace··on Babies born under sugar rationing grew into adults with lower cancer risk
Well sugar is the most immediate form of energy. Most high performance athletes eat a lot of sugar. Its also pretty clear we are evolved to consume it.

How does this play together with what you mentioned above?

How would this make the web more dangerous? Its just static file hosting. Already wildly available!
denismenace··on Why skilled workers come to Germany and then leave again
Nonsense. Just because there was no stricly "unifed" (whatever that means) German culture does not mean that German culture does not exist. There is clearly a shared core of culture and ethnicity to all the listed peoples.

But again you can continue with trying to make it seem as if everything is equal to everything else.

I'll leave you with this little thought experiment. If we put a northen German, a Swiss German and a Spaniard in a room, how long will it take for the two germans to realize they have more in common with each other than the spaniard?

denismenace··on Supreme Court upholds broad conception of birthright citizenship
> Offering birthright citizenship makes the US better than 95% of the other countries. Not worse.

No arguments why its better, just stating it as if its fact.

Most countries do not have it because it creates many preverse incentives (such as anchor babies). This especially in countries which are targets of immigration (such as the US).

denismenace··on Supreme Court upholds broad conception of birthright citizenship
So you want to diminish the voting power of the native population through mass immigration?

Tell me how this rhetoric would not radicalize any normal citizen.

denismenace··on The CEO of Mullvad is the main financer of the Swedish Örebro party
Mass deportation is terrible and destructive, but mass immigration is all good and has 0 negative consequences

It has been shown repeatedly in multiple studies (you might have heard a very prominent one from Denmark) that Non-European/Non-Western migrants are a net loss for the economy during their lifetime and also their children are a drag on the economy. Meaning the money spent by the government to support them is never made back (from the working) during their whole lifetime.

So no, most migrant groups are not a big benefit. Especially considering that this is only taking the economy into account. When you take into account the societal disruption and anti-values that they bring with them, then its clear how negative they have been for Europe.

Then you have no idea how floating point works. (Hint: its in the name)

> but it'll bite you incredibly hard if you ever stumble upon an edge case such as working with a partner that has a different implied number of digits for a given currency

Why would that be a problem? You just transform the values when interacting with their API.

Can you expand on that? Seems very counterintuitive
denismenace··on I'm OK being left behind, thanks
> The business owners I know who have been successful historically are seeing a 2x improvement and are completely unsatisfied. It's shattered their perspective on what is possible, and they're rebuilding their understanding of business from first principles with the new information.

Why are they not satisfied with the 2x improvement? Could you give an example of the "rebuilding" that you mean?

nothing more than a glorified crew in New Jersey

denismenace··on Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
No, not at all actually. But I had a lot of applications where at somepoint we needed to add storage of currency in the database. It became relevant for billing or other features. This without the app itself being financial in nature.
denismenace··on Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
Personally the lack of a decimal type make SQLite a no-go for me. Its too much of a hassle to do financial operations completely on the application side.

denismenace··on .NET 10
Why is EF regarded as such a good ORM? I've encountered countless bugs in different repos related to its stateful nature after many years in .NET. Personally I found it completely illogical for my ORM to maintain state. I just want it to hold my schema and build queries.
