yes, that is probably why the "one armed bandit" was called that. and the name is sufficient reason to keep any reasonable person away

why is RSC not considered react? it is designed by core React team, and heavily recommended by core React team. and needs deep support from react.

no matter how good the results are, this kind of rewrites deserves an experimental build to be battle tested by bleeding edge users.

It takes a lot of rigorous testing automated and manual and by community before such changes are cosnidered permanent.

One does not simply YOLO a full langugae rewrite without user feedback. it is insane.

tyscript compiler is a cli tool. and is run for short periods of time. GC collection and memory leaks should be least of issue to look for

I heard somewhere that Onedrive goes one step further, i.e. deleting local files and keeping them only in cloud. so when people delete file from onedrive, they find local files already deleted

my wife had here google account storage full because photos does auto backup and even after i deleted the photos from google photos. Auto backup kicked in and re-added them.

Also, there is no good way to download all photos and videos for backup. they have to be manually selected. the ui is super frustating. and since the storage is shared with email, emails are blocked due to this

the biggest problem with html/css is that they are tightly coupled. you can't meaningfully modify a layout with css alone.

second biggest problem is "no stricter mode". so even wrong or useless html/css code goes unflagged and is treated as it is normal.

CSS is way too powerful.

once you reach the stage, the only escape is to give up on it. and move on.

somethings are beyond your control and capabilities

Hi, I hope you are doing good. From my personal experience, complaining about your manager to skip level manager is called Career Suicide.

There is nothing good that can come out of it,, except getting fired.

Most likely, the author was let go in mass layoff, and they forgot about NDA.

The part about prioritizing "aggressive feature velocity" over "core fundamentals" is true.

The push is as insane as push to AI.

At the same time fundamental improvements like migrating to .net core, or reducing logs is actively deprioritised. If it were not for compliance, we would not have any core engineering improvement at all

Honestly, I was not even aware of rust push, probably cause no one in my org could do rust. I am glad we did not move to AKS though

New comment by rk06 in "Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan"

> This creates a secondary deception layer. After infection, running npm list in the project directory will report plain-crypto-js@4.2.0 — because npm list reads the version field from the installed package.json, which now says 4.2.0. An incident responder checking installed packages would see a version number that does not match the malicious 4.2.1 version they were told to look for, potentially leading them to conclude the system was not compromised.

WTF!!!! gaslighting your victims into believing they are not victims. the ingenuity of this is truly mindblowing. I am shocked at such thing is even allowed. like packages should not be able to modify their contents while they are being instaleld.

Vercel owns nuxt and sveltekit, so they do benefit. only nextjs suffers from not being on vite.

vite+ is a cli tool and open source, which is built on top of vite.

void is a deployment platform and sdk which is built on top of cloudflare and vite. void will be paid offerring
