For me, the price of interaction is not worth the risk. I've never seen a time at work where speaking about literally anything has gained me something. And the risk of saying something someone else doesn't like is too big and too impactful on my career.

Reliable no, but difficult to access via a REST API yes

Which is probably the reason they were not compromised.

I largely agree with the writer. What I think we are experiencing is library fatigue, not javascript fatigue per se.

How do I know? I love writing pure js functions every day in my free timw

For anyone who'd like to help, crack open that text editor and make a string based js html version of the game. No need to mess with graphics and html canvas when a string based prototype is sufficient

Also use keydrown for handling arrow/WASD inputs and setInterval(draw, 33) to draw the scene at 30 fps

Good luck

We're all unfamiliar with assembly and electrical engineering too right, should we all invest the time to learn how to program bare metal? Only when the performance is needed, right?

I find that I can solve most of my jira tasks in 10 mins with string.length and string.charAt()

My estimated time to completion with regex is literally undefined

Hehehe... appreciate this answer. I wouldn't mind writing my own JSON parser because at least I can reason about how the code works, the only context I need is my language's syntax and not someone else's design assumptions :)

Ask HN: Are there any companies that avoid too many dependencies/services

sushshshsh — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 06:47:24 +0000

Hello,

I've worked for a few companies now that all follow a similar pattern: using 20 different AWS/Azure services and many many long lists of dependencies for things that could seemingly just be a self-written function.

I understand the arguments for "tried and tested" libraries and not wanting to "re-invent the wheel", but I really am sinking wayyyy too much of my time debugging and trying to understand how all of these things work internally. The actual basic functionality of the JIRA tickets I get can be solved in 10 minutes (basically just string manipulation)

Are there any companies out there who have the more old school mindset of just writing a function that does one specific thing really well, instead of having to juggle all of these import statements, long constructor argument signatures, builders, factories, etc?

One looks at the Super Mario 64 source code and just weeps.

In our country, less than 10% of murders are between people who do not know each other. And if you do not live in the specific bad neighborhoods that account for nearly all of our murders, then our crime statistics are literally the same. My town of 100,000 had 0 murders last year.

If you are able to solve the problems plaguing both East London and West Baltimore, I'm all ears, however it seems the war on murder will rage on

Several people per month are still shot in the UK. The guns are smuggled in through ports, much like drugs

What about criminals who choose to use guns whether smart or dumb?

Why would I care about the damage done to my car if I'm knowingly paying for liability only on a sub $2000 car? When physics takes the wheel, I can't control who else I hit and how fast

sushshshsh — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 06:16:26 +0000

Yeah, $50 a month for liability insurance always felt like a really fair deal to me. Pleasantly tolerable fee for a day where my car hits black ice and physics takes the wheel

Probably a domain and web hosting registrar like namecheap with statically hosted html and css. If you are proficient at displaying high resolution images, then that is probably all thats needed for the average visually appealing website

Why would someone pay a 4x multiple on a site that probably wont be making anything 4 years from now? (4x being a rough estimate of the buying price).

That's 40 grand that could be used on traffic to the new site
