I was reading the article and thinking, I wonder what that proxy I'm using in Apache is using, it's really fast and I've had a lot of luck with it. OMG, so I've been using FastCGI all this time and had no idea, well that's awesome. :)
It's interesting seeing people complain about the load times of XCode, as someone who uses VSCode and has loved the instant load times, I think the people over at MSFT have been listening a bit as the latest version of Visual Studio has finally managed to fix some of their problems with the thing taking upwards of 10-20 seconds to load. Visual Studio 2026 now loads "almost" as fast as VSCode, which is great! Now they just need to make project loading faster.
Some of my favorite things to use AI for when coding (I swear I wrote this not AI!):
- CSS: I don't like working with CSS on any website ever, and all of the kludges added on-top of it don't make it any more fun. AI makes it a little fun since it can remember all the CSS hacks so I don't have to spend an hour figuring out how to center some element on the page. Even if it doesn't get it right the first time, it still takes less time than me struggling with it to center some div in a complex Wordpress or other nightmare site.
- Unit Tests: Assuming the embedded code in the AI isn't too outdated (caveat: sometimes it is, and that invalidates this one sometimes). Farming out unit tests to AI is a fun little exercise.
- Summarizing a commit: It's not bad at summarizing, at least an initial draft.
- Very small first-year-software-engineering-exercise-type tasks.
I'm living a pretty okay life, I need money for certain things and helping my friends and family takes a lot of money. I think the guy in this article and some of the people in this thread have their perspective warped by the amount of money they have. (This has been proven time and time again: https://caldaclinic.com/the-psychology-of-wealth-and-how-it-... )
Try making some friends with people who aren't as wealthy as you and try to help them out, maybe they need something that is out of their reach, maybe their family needs expensive medicine or something. Anyways, my TL;DR is make friends, spend your money on others and stop hoarding it because it won't make you happy.
As far as what rating a book has as to who should be allowed to read it, what do you think? If you are a voracious reader, would you be happy having certain book topics restricted based on your age? Or maybe what your parents thought was right? Maybe they didn't want you know about certain topics. Be careful what you wish for.
I was trying to read the paper and it talked about putting shapes together, and I was sad to see that there were no graphical representations of what it was talking about. This is my only hope is that someone would build an accurate graphical representation of these 3D or even 4D shapes (using movement lines I imagine!).
That sounds like Type 1 diabetes. Your pancreas doesn't generate insulin in Type 1, and in type 2 your body has insulin resistance, which makes the insulin that your body makes ineffective at regulating your blood sugar.
I'm glad that everyone is hitting this guy hard, I see these articles all the time and they all stink of entitlement and definitely the guy writing this has something to gain by having this opinion.
I didn't see a conversation on this in the comments, maybe I missed it, but I think one of the reasons why you don't see as much creative control over web pages is spambots. Lots of things that I've put up on my own personal web page that let anyone add things to it also allowed spambots to invade. And since most software to repel spambots needs to be rather advanced to work effectively, you see instances where the user content part just keeps locked up until it's closed completely.
This is a problem that big companies can solve, but it's much trickier for one guy with a web page to solve.
I think you might have missed the point of the article. Trust doesn't matter in an unbalanced power dynamic. If your direct superior can punish you for disagreeing with you on anything, then it stands to reason that you will submit to their will regardless of the outcome (this is where bad decisions are made because alternative points of view are squashed before they even get a chance). This seems to be the reason why more egalitarian organization results in better outcomes, the better outcomes are possible when trust is given to people, not trust is forced upon people.
Just wanted to point out that there's a pretty interesting project called Geyser[0] (along with a plugin called Floodgate[1]) that allows Java and Bedrock Minecraft users to connect to the same Java server. This might be an avenue the author could take to allow the tailscale auth here to work. In my implementation I'm using PaperMC[2] as well.
Wife and I had an unlikely pregnancy ourselves. We tried for possibly 8 years with no luck, finally we gave in and started the process to do in vitro with entailed lots of tests and everything. Then, the day before we were scheduled to start the process (during xmas no less) and lay down a lot of $$$ for the procedure, wife takes a pregnancy test and shockingly, it indicates positive. Kid was born healthy and happy. I hesitate to call him some kind of xmas miracle kid, but I mean.. the context and everything really drove the point home. :)
The tutorial for React doesn't touch on Hooks at all, and reading the hooks main documentation: https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-overview.html does a poor job of introducing them to someone who doesn't know what the concept is, I think the explanation is "too dense" and relies to heavily on the description to convey meaning, when it simply doesn't do that. I think they just need a simpler approach to explanation. I felt like I needed to re-read it a few times to get what it was talking about, which isn't a sign of good documentation.
Have you gone through both the React and Angular tutorials on each of their respective sites?
The angular one is far and away a much more detailed and useful tutorial than the React one. During the React tutorial on their site, I felt like I was being led by the nose towards competency and if I wasn't competent by the end it's my fault. Meanwhile the Angular one appears to give you some understanding of the angular concepts by the end.
At the end of the react tutorial, I feel confused and I'm still wondering what "hooks" are, as I haven't seen them mentioned once in the React tutorial. I tried your commands to setup a react site locally, and all I got was a web page showing React logo with a link to.. Reactjs... Meanwhile, the angular demo at least gives a little helping hand in building an app.
Your premise about poor decision-making is pretty spot on. I just wouldn't call React very accessible; As I'm definitely the target market for React and the process of starting the tutorial for React resulted in some NPM errors and a pretty useless demo site.
Thank you I hadn't looked into a replacement, just thought RSS feeds infringed on some techno-gatekeepers fiefdom and had been deemed too dangerous to live.
