Yeah I'm also curious

I would never talk to anyone like this... I thought Linus was working on controlling his anger

Or maybe you have just gotten better after doing it for 20+ years? I can't imagine anything being easier than plain HTML and CSS

Very cool. And if you're interested in this sort of thing, I would recommend taking a look at remix.run as well. They go a bit farther and pull these concepts into a framework where it's straightforward to describe the client/server relationship in this style

New comment by bigfoot675 in "The perks workers want also make them more productive"

bigfoot675 — Tue, 07 Mar 2023 03:09:35 +0000

Yep this has been my experience as well, and it has popped up more than I expected, honestly. And this is the type of thing to affect a team's productivity for months at a time since it requires taking action, and then finding a backfill, all before the team gets the support they need

bigfoot675 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 21:02:15 +0000

Does anyone know if there is a straightforward way to implement logic for showing a screen saver like this in a basic website after X number of minutes without user interaction?

I can't find myself through some of these searches, even when adding parts of my name in quotes. I wonder how fuzzy these results are, specifically from GitHub

Thanks for posting this, I had never even realized I should be looking for this blog

Totally unrelated point to the person you're replying to

You're just proving their point -- these types of communities follow "Internet chat" trends which includes toxicity to literally everyone. Minorities are affected most by this dynamic. By moving the discussions "above ground", we force the discussions to use professional etiquette, and move the conversation closer to where it can have actual impact

bigfoot675 — Wed, 01 Feb 2023 03:26:27 +0000

The new things that become popular aren't strictly better than the things they replace. In many cases, it seems like the newness factor that makes it popular to people at all

New comment by bigfoot675 in "Google Fuchsia OS team affected by layoffs"

bigfoot675 — Sun, 22 Jan 2023 05:24:21 +0000

For this to mean anything, you will have to make the claim that Fuchsia is more similar to Serenity OS than Android or any other full scale OS project. And if it truly is closer to the pet project, then that's not a good sign for a company like Google, who is paying X number of engineers to work on this

You will definitely run into more cold starts though, if that is a consideration for your project

New comment by bigfoot675 in "Right and wrong: ten choices in language design"

bigfoot675 — Mon, 05 Dec 2022 18:36:30 +0000

Yeah this paper takes a heavily biased stance, even to the point of vilifying generally accepted and genuinely useful concepts like `return` statements. Not sure how the author can pretend that they are presenting any sort of analysis on the broad set of languages when they've already presupposed that everything besides their own language is wrong

If this was true, non-technical people would be stringing these together instead of using products that were created with the end user in mind

I don't think so?

Yes they do this. I don't know if the other guy just hasn't seen it himself or what

New comment by bigfoot675 in "Arduino IDE 2.0"

bigfoot675 — Wed, 28 Sep 2022 23:48:38 +0000

This is used extensively in classrooms. Providing this standalone editor that "just works" is more appealing in such scenarios than asking students to use vscode with extensions

bigfoot675 — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 08:53:31 +0000

I mean that's the definition of the term "luddite" in our current understand of English. The only thing that could be labeled as propaganda is the application of the term to that movement
