isakkeyten··on Arrest of Pavel Durov, Telegram CEO, charges of terrorism, fraud, child porn
> (unlike Signal)

Well Tucker Carlson also said he used Signal and his messages were leaked by the government so yeah...

isakkeyten··on I love programming but I hate the programming industry
I wish I had this corporate experience. We focus on finesse, abstractions, witty or beautiful code. I keep being forced to optimise things that we haven't measured, add new lines to places to make the code pretty, rename variables, functions and avoid using Javascript arrays and use the "more performant" sets, etc etc.

All of this at the price of the god damn feature never being able to land and my PR staying in limbo for weeks.

But this is just another end of the spectrum I guess.

isakkeyten··on Ask HN: What is the most useless project you have worked on?
I've been on the other side of this. Big company was under the impression they could ultimately save money by switching from an enterprise ERP solution that costed them hundres of thousands of dollars in licences with an inhouse one. The only problem was the ERP was carrying 90% of the company on it's shoulders and this would've been a horribly large task. I worked on it for 2 years with incompentent managers and slow progress. After I left the company they continued for another 2 and then quit that endevour. Wasting a shitload of money (think 10 devs + managers for 4 years...).
isakkeyten··on JavaScript state machines and statecharts
There you are.
isakkeyten··on Meta plans to lay off 10k employees
I was once contacted for an interview by the company I was leaving during my notice period :)
isakkeyten··on Why would anyone need JavaScript generator functions?
Be careful. You will summon acemarke with this comment.
isakkeyten··on Drone downed in Zagreb is not Ukrainian – adviser to defense minister
I don't think that's it champ. Croatians don't have the "Я" letter.
isakkeyten··on “Zero fucks given” in other languages
In Macedonian we say "ne me boli kur" or the more prevalent "me boli kur" which mean "my dick does not hurt" or the latter more ironic version "my dick hurts".
isakkeyten··on Show HN: Code Hike – More than syntax highlighting
Right? I'm 99% sure this thing uses https://github.com/shikijs/shiki
isakkeyten··on A Visual Guide to React Rendering
Hate to be that guy but redux is not a react library, you are talking about the react-redux library which are bindings for react to redux.

So you don't hate redux, you hate how react binds to it.

isakkeyten··on Inside a viral website
This is actually a well done web app in my opinion. You can disable javascript and the app loads just fine. JS is used as a progressive enhancement to hydrate. Probably uses something like NextJS in the background. The HTML with inlined critical styles load in ~40ms on my internet. Sure it could be "better" in terms of TTI from the JS side but at what cost?
isakkeyten··on Show HN: Sqwok – A low-cruft, minimalist alternative to Reddit and Twitter
Tbh it's very hard on the eyes.
isakkeyten··on macOS unable to open any non-Apple application
A law is only dealing with the consequences, it's not prevention.
isakkeyten··on What language do people speak in the Balkans, anyway? (2019)
> Macedonian is just a dialect of Bulgarian language.

Yeah no.

isakkeyten··on Why we decided against GraphQL for local state management
He's been doing it for a while now. I believe he has setup some google alerts on the words 'redux | thunks | sagas' and he just brings his redux toolkit gospel along. And not just on this site, like, everywhere. Dev.to, reddit, twitter...

I've confronted him once but to no avail, I even got downvoted by the community. :)

edit: i see that's happening to you too here lol, godspeed

isakkeyten··on Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn
That's the opposite of my experience but I'm assuming it's just more used where I'm from. I've gotten 3/3 of my job positions in these past 4 years by recruiters finding me instead of me looking for them. And I was a junior then. I still get contacts and offers in messages and get a connection request or two on the daily by HR people.
isakkeyten··on Reflections on the color of my skin
With risk to sound controversial but since when is not having a single black person in a team considered a indicator of a negative view towards black people? Would you rather they have a token black person to avoid this?
isakkeyten··on Facebook to shift permanently toward more remote work after coronavirus
Or are we dancer?
isakkeyten··on Comparing Ember Octane and React
From a perspective of someone who codes react, what i dont like in ember:

- this this this, so many this keywords

- not a fan of decorators

- constructor and super

- mutability (unless it hides an immutable nature)

- hbs feels weirder to me than jsx

- the fact that you have yet another filetype in your code means even the tiniest components MUST be in more than 1 file, react lets you choose (edit: i rushed, seems there are template literals one can use)

isakkeyten··on Extremely disillusioned with technology. Please help
But what is good code? What is bad code? I know what is slow code and what is fast, but not always fast is good and slow bad. So basically, good/bad code is mainly around maintainability. And if you are the only person that maintains it and can maintain it then you only need the code to be 'as good' as your ability to retain the memory of it's structure.
isakkeyten··on Lit: A ridiculously small responsive CSS framework
out of curiosity, what was the scenario?
isakkeyten··on I turned my entrepreneur journey into a game
It's using this NES.css from what i can tell https://nostalgic-css.github.io/NES.css/
isakkeyten··on Nearly half of American workers have low-wage jobs
10 x 8 x 22 = 1760$ monthly salary where I come from, minimum salary is 250$ sure COL is cheaper but not 7 fold also a phone, a car, and everything else is the same price for both US citizens and me actually some are even cheaper for you, because you manufacture them

but yeah, i agree with the comment bellow

just because there is worse, doesn't mean it's good

isakkeyten··on F-Droids statement on their ban of Gab
But they already have 4chan viewers and that's fine? lol
isakkeyten··on Show HN: 3D multiplayer space shooter made with Three.js
It's using websockets so I don't think the speed of the router is of any importance :)
isakkeyten··on Fusuma – Make slides with MarkDown easily
If it's built with nodejs you won't be able to make a binary without packaging the whole node/npm with it.

For standalone binary Golang is a better choice but that probably wasn't in scope for the developer who wrote it.

isakkeyten··on Why I wrote 33 VSCode extensions and how I manage them
Practice has shown that it's easier to add things than to remove them.
isakkeyten··on Evergreen: a React UI Framework built by Segment
Wouldn't any of those fit the case if you just do tree-shaking?
isakkeyten··on [dead]
I'm pretty sure it already started and was shutdown by iOS 12.1(beta) where it's fixed by Apple.
isakkeyten··on State of Multicore OCaml [pdf]
Hijacking this thread to ask you this.

What should I learn if I want to develop desktop apps and I like functional programming? I feel like most of the cool 'new' programming languages are OOP (rust, go, scala).
