Yeah, that's where I'm at, too. Authoring web components directly is too low level to be practical. You can easily end up reimplementing a ton of existing framework logic around rerenders, reactivity, event handlers,…
For me, this feels worse than wikipedia using JSON as an example. JSON isn't a great HTMl representation, and the wikipedia examples are definitely missing details about how the underlying API is used. But extremely…
I really struggle to understand how someone with fundamental programming knowledge and the relevant HTML/CSS skills could run into issues like this without some serious mental blocks. The HTML and CSS are going to be…
Maybe this is just a terminology mismatch, but when you say "incident" that's been a pretty urgent process everywhere I've worked. Other people are talking about breaking CI, which just sounds miserable. Raising…
The awesome thing is that this comes right after an example that uses about 200 characters... I know we love to talk about optimizing web contents, but a single selector and a few hundred bytes (before minification and…
There's like two main ways this kind of mistake happens. One is a programmer using the wrong string ID. Probably a mistake when searching a translation file/db. The second is missing context. The word "zip" has multiple…
The "framework" here is exceptionally small. You can read the whole thing: https://github.com/vanjs-org/van/blob/main/src/van.js Personally, it doesn't do enough that I'd seriously consider using it, even for a project…
This narrative (https://vanjs.org/about#story) about modern JS tooling being opaque, exclusive, and hard to learn is frustrating. If all you need is HTML rendering and basic state, any modern web framework will do that…
Tag functions being implemented with a Proxy (https://vanjs.org/tutorial#api-tags) could make that a little cumbersome, and would break the abstraction that `div(...)` just returns an HTMLDivElement you can do whatever…
I feel like that just makes it worse (though I didn't know about the DA's office messing up the paperwork). Let's assume that understaffing and additional work required to close cases are the main causes for the low…
SFPD had a 6% clearance rate for all property crimes in 2020, with reports that it got lower since [1]. There are a lot of anecdotes, occasionally newsworthy, about SFPD watching theft happen and doing nothing about it…
I'm mostly thinking outside the scope of just this one example. Even good recipes have a lot of variability in cooking time. The differences between how hot people cook at home and how hot they cook in commercial spaces…
> You are not going to be able to cook chicken in 3-4minutes per side like so many recipes claim. It's just not possible to have a good outside temperature and a good inside temperature no matter how you cook it if you…
The semicolon and all the brackets look to have a lot more emphasis than they do in many common monospace fonts, which makes a lot of sense if you're designing your font for developers. Same with the 1Il distinction…
There are so many ways for "impact" to go wrong during promotions and performance reviews. I think my favorite were projects that just didn't have any metrics. Or that claimed to have metrics, but somehow they were…
I love articles like these, because the narrative of "JS framework peddlers have hoodwinked you!" is fun, in an old-timey snake oil salesman kind of way. But I'll be honest. I'll believe it when I see it. It's not that…
Feel free to check my math, but Waymo's 2 accidents in 1,000,000 driverless miles (https://blog.waymo.com/2023/02/first-million-rider-only-mile...) is higher than the rate for human drivers in any of the years from my…
That's just a local bias. I used to live where a street turned from two-way to one-way, and people drove the wrong way all the time. But that doesn't change the fact that human beings are extremely safe drivers. NHTSA…
To be 100% clear, my main AI fear is that these tools are going to be exactly as dumb as people but much, much faster. We know optimization engines (like social media algorithms) can cause harm by amplifying human…
So much of this is going to hinge on what "smarter" means. My local library has heaps more knowledge than most individual people, but it'd be weird to call it "smarter" than a person. And automation is generally cheaper…
That statement seems like such science fiction that it's kind of baffling an AI expert said it. What does it even mean for the AI to be smarter than people? I certainly can't see a way for LLMs to generate "smarter"…
Only stealing from people who haven't asked you nicely to stop doesn't scream "highly ethical" to me Security researchers put a lot of emphasis on responsibly disclosing vulnerabilities. The maintainers of this project…
This feels like it would make the situation much worse from a legal perspective. If you know your AI produces code that is "tainted" by license violations, adding code to hide it after the fact suggests that you're…
Same here! I think it helps me read faster online, but it's probably just a fidget-y habit.
You've got to love a website that makes text selection invisible by default. I'd probably double check assumptions on the cloudfront issues. Switching carriers or adding VPN might connect you to a different edge node.…
