I actually think about this I’m entirely the opposite way. The moment all browser APIs especially the DOM become usable from WASM it’s over for JS and would no longer be the obvious choice as it’s suddenly not the only game in town and the hacks that were required before such as compile to JS for example stop mattering.

This is an intentional strategy to work around ad-blocking and other data harvesting practices. Just take a look at the privacy information screen in the iOS App Store for example.

This is really one hell of a take… you don’t think it maybe has something to do with the hundreds of kids they are fucking and lying about it? No, It’s the damned progressives instead?

It’s literally there in the subheading which I will quote:

“Speed of departures has been driven by series of child abuse scandals and accusations of a cover-up”

Why do people humiliate themselves like this?

Because they have spent a long time building out good consumer protection laws. The US could have this also, it’s a political choice not to and is instead more of an enterprise owned state at this point.

This is like talking with a child. I’m going to leave you to it. Good luck.

Obviously nobody is going to convince you that you have a complete crackpot view of the world, that’s kind of the definition of the situation you find yourself in.

It’s just incredibly clear that you actually don’t have any kind of meaningful understanding about how the military or intelligence agencies work and you are left yelling about a world that exists in your mind. The entire comment is just Swiss cheese to anyone with even a passing familiarity on any of those topics.

This is such a ludicrous idea that doesn’t pass even the most basic reality checks. It’s explicitly illegal for a start amongst a whole host of other problems where the incentives make zero sense.

I would argue that it is primarily but not exclusively the React community and it’s surrounding ecosystem.

Yes, it genuinely is a mess where people are continually reinventing the same things again and again on a loop and no two projects are the same, almost none of them are by the very nature of being React particularly well aligned with web platform standards and have major parts of their ecosystem captured by weird VC companies who don’t have the same priorities as your developers let alone your organisation.

That’s not particularly true for say Angular or jQuery or Web Components etc.

Thoughtbot is famously a Ruby shop since their inception, I don’t know that this detail just happened to slip their mind due to ignorance.

This is a million times better than some attempt to talk over the top of the other person an a Joe Rogan podcast and pretending that something even vaguely resembling science or a debate has occurred.

Let’s just assume for now that there could be use cases that aren’t strictly config data.

As far as I knew they have a long standing policy to specifically not use journalists, peace corps or religious figures for non official cover specifically because it was considered pissing in the pool for everyone else.

I’m pretty open to being wrong on this one but do you have any case studies to point to that say otherwise?

What are you even talking about? Be specific rather than tossing around vague insinuations.

This is very much civility for the sake of civility which is not without problems but is the culture here. Editing the post to remove the word idiotic and replace with uninformed.

You might want to actually go and read a few things about how they differ before making such uninformed statements.

I found the whole experience rather amusing. I’ve spent a lot of time overseas so for me it’s just another iteration on country x’s interpretation on country y’s food and it’s always a fun game to try and reverse engineer in your mind how they arrived at that idea of it.

Would you believe that this topic is actually more complicated and nuanced than it seems based on this clickbait headline?

If anyone wants to see a proper non bullshit breakdown explanation of this topic from professionals I would highly recommend this video:

How Procurement Destroys Armies - Requirements, Risks & Development gone wrong https://youtu.be/bBQVR4epfBQ

This headline really is total bullshit that’s entirely divorced from the reality of the situation they describe.

I don’t mean to say there isn’t a story here, there absolutely is, it’s just not the one represented by the headline.

The story is actually about employers trying to do some really sketchy shit and trying to use the kinds of network analysis techniques that are typically used in a counter terrorism investigation to uncover employees trying to unionize along with the kind of morally bankrupt companies who are selling them the kind of software to help them do that.

It’s really ok to not share every thought that happens to pop into your head.

Seems like this thread is getting suppressed. We have front page submissions that have been around for an hour and have just 7 votes while this one is 45 minutes old and has 35. Weird and non transparent moderation decision.

This is a problem that turns up in Flutter when they compile for the web.

The long term answer is the Accessibility Object Model spec currently under development.

The current answer is to build a replica DOM structure for accessibility purposes.

Coming from a Dart context here where that team is also looking at adding Macros to the language. It was really interesting to compare and contrast some of the approaches https://github.com/dart-lang/language/blob/main/working/macr...

Came here to say exactly this. The language you are describing already exists. HN seems hellbent on pretending it hasn’t changed in 10 years but Dart was very much designed from the POV of what if we took the good parts from both Java and JS and left the bad bits behind and compiled it to native machine code. It’s actually a really good outcome that’s incredibly underrated.

I mean one of the pretty clear implications of that research is that there is a real chance those are Chinese aircraft that have figured out how to avoid radar detection and even most close range observation.

If that does turn out to be true it’s a major turning point in world history as the US discovers they are now are no longer the most powerful airforce in the world and has some very real and very serious knock on effects that come with it.

Im sure they will be just as compelling as his last 3 of a random self published audiobook, a known propaganda rag and a random Twitter user posting a Fox News clip.

Work on that is happening here https://github.com/dart-lang/web. I expect it will be fully baked by the time Dart 3.1 drops and in-line classes are a thing as it ends up making a big difference as far as I can tell.

Delphi is most certainly not a solution that anyone is reaching for of any kind of regularity in 2023 but again, if you like it keep using it but I’m more than happy to put Flutter up against Delphi as a way of building user interfaces.

Dev tools is at a minimum

Are we just debating imperative vs declarative UI patterns? I think that debate was settled a long time ago to be fair.

If you happen to like that approach more that’s cool keep using it but it’s not the done thing in any mainstream modern UI framework that I’m aware of for a reason.
