I likely align with you on most political and social issues based on the fact that you currently seem to be in despair. However, this question is seriously misguided. This is by far the best time to have been a human in…
This is myopic “Silicon Valley” rhetoric and lacks understanding of art or why it’s appreciated. We have video cameras and movies, yet stage actors on Broadway are celebrated like movie stars. People still read books.…
> Next.js and TanStack Start don't send any JavaScript to the client if you decide to server-render everything. AFAIK, this isn’t true. And you still get more JS per interactive element than with HTMX.
Sure. I personally think SPAs/React have better DX than HTMX. IMO, the most compelling reasons to use HTMX instead (for building dynamic/interactive web applications) are to reduce the amount of JavaScript sent to the…
Adopting something like HTMX is primarily a UX choice, and the language you use to serve it is almost irrelevant to UX. JavaScript is a nice backend language. It’s fast, has a massive ecosystem, and many people know it…
There are no concrete numbers for Valorant that I know of, but the “Head of Esports Partnerships and Business Development for North America & Oceania Riot Games” Matthew Archambault was quoted saying the Valorant player…
Do keep in mind: they also develop, maintain, support, and market Unreal Engine, which is possibly the most advanced and innovative game engine out there. It’s used by tons of other studios (including AAA) and is used…
Alex Pretti escalated the situation? Have you seen the video? Did you see how the ICE agent shoved that woman? That was not “law enforcement activity.” It was assault. Alex Pretti had every right to be there, and he…
I wouldn’t put them in the same category. Bootstrap has a much stronger opinion about how you write and structure CSS, while Tailwind is a framework for building a style system and writing arbitrary CSS that conforms to…

Code review has been an industry standard tool to ensure the correctness of software for decades.

I play video games at a decently high level (like top ~10% in a few competitive games). To support what you’re saying, I can tell the difference between 144hz and 240hz if I’m in control. For example, if I can shake the…
WASM does not need to access the DOM to be extremely useful. JS is already very effective and ridiculously fast for updating the DOM. WASM is to offload computationally expensive workloads that JS is not so good for…
Look around the world at how many “landslide” election victories are won in places that do not truly have elections. Those with authoritarian intent are notorious for controlling the narrative. All around the world, we…
Cloudflare is not profitable [1]. I’m wary of what might happen when they need to become profitable. Could this be another case of a company offering an excellent, cheap product while being propped up by investors, only…
