Re:Svelte 4 on Thursday June 22, 2023 @03:30PM (#36437482)
I was stuck once by abusing `bind:` and other time with global exit transitions + sveltekit routing, but that's about it.

React on the other hand feels like a pot warming up and we're the frogs being boiled alive at this point. You can write some perfectly valid, but naive React code and it's going to have some footguns. We're so used to write idiomatic React code we don't even notice that anymore. You learn to use stable references in callback functions, to be careful using Context, and so on. But the list is not short, and it only grows.

Wanna write some naive code in svelte two days in? There's a good chance it's the same code you'd write a year later. Maybe that's what people mean by "just JS".

Re:Firefox's low-latency WebAssembly compiler on Friday March 27, 2020 @04:41AM (#22701256)
AFAIK WebAssembly can't do more harm than JS since it lives in the same sandbox, so that's not a concern? You're basically running Flash in a small VM.
Re:I'm on the FCC. Please stop us from killing net neutrality on Thursday November 23, 2017 @03:57AM (#15763827)
But it's not result of Net Neutrality, but the lack thereof... What makes you think that China has NN?
Re:Ask HN: How can we stop the plan to end net neutrality? on Tuesday November 21, 2017 @03:09AM (#15746468)
I agree with all your points, but:

1. ...but why give them ability to charge based on what you're doing with access they give you? It's like your electric power provider would charge you more if you have a blacklisted freezer...

2. ...but maybe let's start by lowering the bar for new ISPs and getting rid of monopolies instead of giving them more means to squeeze more money? How getting rid of NN helps with that? Google couldn't get into that market.

3. ...but what if my provider throttles wired network, not wireless, and not 4k, but full HD? What if they throttle my twitch, because they got a deal with google to serve unlimited access to Youtube Gaming at the cost of limiting access to twitch? Sure, change IPS! Whoops, there's no competition in my area. What now?

How ending net neutrality can lower my bills?
Re:Why Choose Vue.js on Friday June 23, 2017 @02:43PM (#14621625)
Two-way data binding is only syntactic sugar for setting value as a property and assigning it's value on event listener. You can read about it in the docs

Vue does have JSX backend, so your argument is not really valid

Ruby on Rails is a web framework, not a language. Also web dev is about shipping a product fast, that's why you don't see Java there.

Re:Japan plans 130-petaflops supercomputer on Monday November 28, 2016 @04:55AM (#13054446)
Sunway TaihuLight (the most powerful supercomputer right now) was benchmarked to have 93 petaflops[1]. The cost was 1.8 billion Yuan (US$273 million). So cheap I guess.

Pinterest engineer, facebook and google intern, daughter of two engineers tells us how awful her life was because her classmates were absurdly arrogant (all of them) and two co-workers were dicks. Right. I'll never get this successful, but I'm white cis male so I should pity her I guess?

Re:The Tech diversity story not being told (2014) on Monday February 29, 2016 @01:13AM (#11193886)
How does that compare to overall percentage of women (and minorities for that matter) in the industry? Maybe it's not a problem with big, evil corporations that they don't want to hire woman, but there's simply 10 male asian candidates for 1 black female and the rest is statistics? I'm doing master of science right now and 10% of students are female. How can that later translate to 50/50 hired workers with master degree? Should we hire people from the street because diversity? Serious question, I don't understand what's up with diversity issue.
Re:How to Make Python Run as Fast as Julia on Wednesday December 16, 2015 @08:49AM (#10744186)
"Making it fast" wad not a goal of that benchmark. The whole point of it is measuring core features of the language - looping, recursion and so on. That's why they have this horrible Fibonacci impelentation: to meadure how language hanfles recursion.

Author misunderstands this. If you say that you're optimizing python by calling C, then something's wrong here.
