How can they pass it on when they don't have the defect any more?

Have a look at EdgeQL, the query language that powers edgedb.

Too many folks' livelihoods depend on it at this point. The other side of the same coin is the gaslighting that you can't build anything sufficiently complex without react. If you did build it without react, it obviously wasn't sufficiently complex.

Yes you can: https://wt5hp.csb.app/ (implemented in pure CSS, with some JS to demonstrate that it works)

France also has online.net (now Scaleway?) which I haven't used recently but was very good and reliable for me 3 years ago. Been using Hetzner ever since, which has set the new bar.

Yeah that's way more readable and intuitive than anything that came before (that I'm aware of)!

I know, but was speaking more to adoption and usage. Obviously it's my impression, and it informs my vote.
Re:Gitmoji – Yay or Nay?

Nay! Emoji is slang that excludes a huge number of people, not just due to preference but also because the meaning keeps changing and can be confusing if not exhausting to keep up with. It skews young and/or Western and there's far more kinds of programmers than that.

Guh apparently not. I'm starting to think I read it on a borrowed device. Will keep looking though.

Thanks! I have searched my browsing history somewhat thoroughly as well as links sent to friends. I can't rule out that it was on Medium but I'm certain I found it more than a couple of months ago (definitely a whole season ago)... Maybe it was reposted later?
Feel very silly having lost it because even when I read it I knew I'd want to read it again. I'll go back to scouring my history if no leads turn up here!
Ask HN: Help me find an essay I read on HN
Apologies in advance if this kind of question is out of scope. Some time this year I followed an HN link and read an essay that I am absolutely not able to find again despite my best efforts. It was exceptionally well-written although my memory is very fuzzy on the details. To the best of my recollection:- Female author, youngish.- It was a personal narrative written in the first person, about...

A relevant line from the essay that reminded me of Holmes:

I don't find the t-shirt bit irrelevant, it's an aesthetic that speaks volumes and has a place in the critique, particularly as contrasted with the aesthetic that will replace it. That's how it's referenced, and not as a direct or adhominem attack.
Re:Ask HN: How to work with a developer who avoids reading?

The outcome of such approach is very few surprises when running the code, because the code behaves how you think it should behave.
And when it doesn't, you know exactly where to look to find the problem and often its solution.
For me that's the biggest payoff of reading the documentation or skimming it multiple times, it's a huge time saver when things inevitably go wrong.
Then there's also the ability to think within the whole scope of the lib as opposed to the specific thing you pulled it in for.
Re:Facebook Morale Takes a Tumble Along with Stock Price

Come on, not all their revenue. Facebook has been taking the ugly easy way forward for way too long. How many of these messy features were rolled out after Facebook already built its userbase on the strength of features people actually want? If a TV show or some other media platform switched around on us to the extent Facebook has, we'd have stopped engaging long ago.
I would wager that the primary reason the majority of people are on Facebook (unlike Twitter and Instagram) is still the original reason: to be connected to people they already know. Facebook wants to leverage and interrupt that as far as possible, as far as we will allow.
