sdesalas··on Startup Unicorns: The card game for future founders
Play your cards right and turn your startup into a unicorn!

A family friendly card game for future founders. Running a tech startup has never been so much fun!

sdesalas··on Compact holographic sound fields enable rapid one-step assembly of matter in 3D
One step closer to hologram technology... "Help me Obi-wan you're our only hope."
sdesalas··on Deno.js in production
> resume driven development node modules

Hahahah!!! So true!! ;D .. i think i've written a couple of those!

sdesalas··on RedwoodJS 1.0
Is this likely to support SSR?
sdesalas··on Nuclear-fusion reactor doubles record for energy made from fusing atoms
> This has nothing to do with fissions and everything to do with degradation of contruction and practical egnineering skills - now it takes 30 years and 100 billion dollars to make a small railway in California. Victorian England or China could do this without much trouble.

Not to mention over-regulation driven by a general lack of political will. Its easier to win some votes by bashing nuclear than stand by it, even if it is the most likely alternative for baseload power in a carbon-free energy mix.

sdesalas··on Don't rely on LocalStorage
Meh
sdesalas··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
Totally agree.
sdesalas··on Don't make me think, or why I switched to Rails from JavaScript SPAs
I was wondering why nobody was mentioning Svelte and Vue. I find either of these two options is more productive than React or Angular anyday.
sdesalas··on IETF: The HTTP Query Method ( Draft)
Next up, we'll be getting an ENQUIRE method.

Then we'll be ready for INQUIRE too. Which is similar but involves more formalised header definitions.

Following this. We'll get an RFC for OBTAIN, which will be similar to GET but will formally renounce the use of a payload.

"If society does not have a war and there is no cleansing function or garbage collection for rules and regulations then rules and regulations will accumulate every year. Because they are immortal. Humans die but the laws don't. So. We need a garbage collection function for rules and regulations. They should just not be immortal. Because some of the rules and regulations that are put in place will be counterproductive... Done with good intentions but counterproductive. Sometimes not done with good intentions. So if rules and regulations just accumulate every year, you get more and more of them. Then eventually you won't be able to do anything. You'll be just like Gulliver tied down by thousands of little strings. "

sdesalas··on There Are No Good Arguments for Intellectual Property (2010)
While i agree that property rights are usually excessive, i doubt the author has ever spent hours crafting their own artwork and had someone use it for their advertising without the courtesy of asking.
sdesalas··on Ask HN: What are some “10x” software product innovations you have experienced?
I remember filling js files with alert messages back in 2004. Imagine the joy debugging a 15k line js codebase back then.
sdesalas··on Open Sustainable Technology
What about work being done on 4th Gen Nuclear?

If anything is going to make a dent on climate change and provide a way forward for sustainable energy generation it would have to be scaling up the share of nuclear (to 25-50% of overall share) with new and safer reactor designs that move away from outdated cold war technology we are still using.

sdesalas··on Stripe Checkout
Thanks edwin but its a bit late, we've done the integration already.
sdesalas··on Stripe Checkout
As much as i loved integrating Stripe before i have to say it is pretty expensive for micro-transactions in Europe (less than 5€). They charge a base fee of 0.25€ +1.4% so this pretty much kills the business margin. We went with a local payments company in Spain (paycomet) because they could offer a flat 17€ fee a month.
sdesalas··on Preprint: Ivermectin Associated with Lower Mortality in COVID19
In case you don't know: Ivermectin has been around for decades and is cheap as chips. Nobody is going to profit from its use, so it hasn't been getting as much publicity as other therapies and studies.
sdesalas··on The rise of React
Funny for me state management was pretty simple until React came along and made it asynchronous.
sdesalas··on Immutability in JavaScript: A Contrarian View
I am saying this because I actually want someone to come up with a convincing argument that will disuade me that immutability in JavaScript is actually something more than a passing fashion driven by React's popularity and its poorly designed state management.

When you speak of side-effects, I am hoping that you are talking about something real that you have experienced in a context other than React, because I have been programming JavaScript for over 15 years (vanilla.js, prototype, jquery, mootools, d3, ext.js, backbone, knockout, angular, vue, as well as plenty of back-end stuff in node.js) and I can tell you that 'mutations' have never been a problem until React came along.

sdesalas··on Immutability in JavaScript: A Contrarian View
Sure dude. Have you ever used something other than React?
sdesalas··on Immutability in JavaScript: A Contrarian View
Feel free to pick a bone.
