I'm not familiar with MobX, but I am a big fan of Jotai (https://jotai.pmnd.rs/). It is a spiritual offshoot of Facebook's experimental(?) Recoil library. It is a bottom up approach to state. Everything is modeled as…
It looks nice and I can see why someone used to VS Code's GitLens would like to bring this over, it seems really seamless. Personally, as a long-time magit user, I'm not sure I see any reason to make the switch. Can…
Personally, I agree that base Emacs is not ideal for most users. Ultra-customizers will feel out home, but the typical dev will not. On the other hand, I am a huge proponent of Spacemacs. It's technically just a custom…
I agree that TypeScript leaves something to be desired, but it is far and away a better alternative to pure JS. TS may not be total, but it comes close enough to get the job done for the dynamic environment it's meant…
Curious to know what kind of marketing efforts you took for these if any? Any marketing budget to speak of? They look like really well done apps, congrats on (kind of) exiting the rat race!
I've used that kind of information throughout my life as a marker to help me determine when it's time for me to move on to the next "stage" of development of my skill. It is similar in spirit to the quote…
I've always enjoyed the oatmeal's comics. What is your reason for referring to him as an idiot?
I hadn't considered the transparent moderation logs before but that's a great idea, so props to lobste.rs for that. Not sure that I've seen Aether before either, I'll have to check it out sometime.
Would highly recommend Tailwind if you don't like the boxed-in nature of most frameworks. Tailwind is more of a design system than a CSS framework. It simply gives you guidance on establishing proper constraints of your…
r/programmingcirclejerk would have a field day with it, that's for certain.
Maybe a little embarrassingly, but I've tried to read it a couple of times and usually bailed around chapter 3 or so due to boredom. I think I know the type of wordiness you're referring to and my term for the type of…
> Some people might be offended or sensitive to direct questions, but that's for them to work through with their therapist. It's a fair position to take, but in some cases where successful communication is a necessity,…
Agreed. The line ought to be drawn at personal attacks against her. She's 16, a child, personally attacking her is disgusting behavior. By that same token, I also don't care what a 16 y.o. has to say about the state of…
> If F# or rust or haskell really was quicker and more effective in a prototyping environment as well as when writing production hardened code, programmers would likely eventually converge on only using them. That isn't…
There's a joke about monoids and semigroups in here somewhere but my lack of a college education is hindering me.
I highly recommend Ramez Naam's Nexus Trilogy.[1] I think Naam's take on the genre hits a lot of the bullet points others in the thread have cited as desirable characteristics in their ideal sci-fi. It takes what is in…
I'm a bit late in my reply as I don't have notifications setup for HN but it appears you may, so here goes. I think that it's clear that brainpower is at the very least an important metric for determining get-stuff-down…
You're completely missing the point, not seeing the forest for the trees. Take any reasonably intelligent human, say a valedictorian from your hometown high school. Now consider a system with the same intellectual…
I think you're right. I took the koan to mean that when designing any given widget the focus of the implementation should make as few contextual assumptions about the use of the widget as is it feasible to do. There is…
But are any of those ways both at the assembly level (speed) and decoupled from the runtime (space)? My takeaway from WASI is that it would allow for a single universal runtime with near-native execution. The…
This is how I justify becoming so absorbed with my own side projects. Maybe one day it will prove to be a net positive! Congrats on the exit. How long did it take you working on the side until you were able to make it…
I really don't understand why more people in this generation don't run their own strip mining operations for processor fabrication anymore. It's incredibly helpful in both understanding just how many man hours go into a…
To play devil's advocate, I have worked shitty jobs in the fast food industry. Two and a half years at McDonald's and then another two and a half at Longhorn Steakhouse. I never witnessed a single incident of physical…
Yes, but in person insults are less likely to happen because of the _implication_ of violence.
Haha, thanks for the laugh. Considering the downvotes I got, I suppose I was out of line suggesting a wager, but I've yet to see convincing evidence for why blockchain tech can't work. Sure it's overhyped way beyond…
