Bellend

I really enjoyed the article! Generators have been around for maybe half a decade already but I never see them used. I am able to follow the article but have never seen an example at even small scale. All of the complexity for my software is still there in some form or other. I can have 100 classes it seems or 1000 functions and I really really struggle with breaking away from the imperative viewpoint. Especially when you have a small team consisting of seniors to juniors. I do love the pattern but no one else does. Why does it feel this way?

Honestly, part of me wants to agree with you whole heartedly but I don't think I can. I started off saying that things like Crack, Nicotine, Alcohol... consumables are addictions. Then what about gambling though... it's not really a physical consumable. Also I have been short-term-addicted to some games, or wanted to binge watch a series, or finish a book despite knowing I have work tomorrow.

As someone who used to smoke, I can't believe that anything is as difficult as stopping smoking, but then Heroin Addicts enter the chat. So whereas to me, it seems incredible that people are addicted to content, it doesn't mean that how they feel about said content doesn't constitute a problem and where that lies on the scale for an individual is impossible to quantify from my narrow viewpoint and experience.

I made a private repo who's package JSON was `private: true`, `type: module` and `main: src/index.ts` and `module: src/index.ts`. I didn't progress down that route as stated, but I was able to consume that package. Maybe none of what I said here mattered in which case the only other thing that may make a difference was that I was using pnpm for the first time with workspaces.

Could you provide why not? I have a utility library (Project A) and whilst messing around with TurboRepo, I noticed I could point to the source files in my package. I haven't progressed down that route, but something about it seemed nice.

So in other words, if Project B depends on Project A, either I could build Project A and then build Project B or I could just build Project B (which consumes Project A as a typescript package).

Kinda confusingly written but I would love to know why that is an issue.

I remember a few years ago that Microsoft docs started to point to Mozilla docs, maybe part of Edge rebrand? Perhaps renaming to MDN during this agreement could leave someone like "huh is it M(ozilla)DN or M(icrosoft)DN??". I have no clue.

It's a Unity game. Why are people genuinely surprised that performance is absolute garbage? Both CS2 and KSP2 (kerbal) REQUIRE incredibly specific tuning that unity simply does not offer. The latter being rigid bodies at scale (which is semi impossible with a dedicated engine) and the former being "almost-factorio-level" low level cell processing. The graphics of both are second tier to that.

But no, lets use Unity...

Edit: I got former and latter mixed up.

Loved the article. My beef is debugging IOS Safari. It's so tragic that it's The Next IE™ but I can't debug it without a mac. There has always been ways to do it, but talk about jumping through hoops to see a debug window.

Airbnb was so good and I don't want to mention the year because I will get it wrong. I went with my friend that year for literally hardly any money and we seen 8 European countries. It wasn't just Airbnb but Wimdu (We are UK).

In the space of a year, prices doubled, and then there was fees not included in the price so when I accepted those prices and fees and went to book, there was more fees under the "checkout" section.

That might have been 7 years ago when good quality hotels were parity to the final price. Obviously I haven't been back on any of these since but it was definitely amazing at one point.

The headline was enough for me personally

I don't know him but I feel he is a bit tongue-in-cheek with humour. As far as I remember, he did comedy and was also good with education with kids. I don't imagine meeting him and him coming across as full of himself though. I feel I could approach him in a pub and he would have good banter.

But you wouldn't commit that as there are multiple tools to review a commit before you literally stamp your name on that commit? Otherwise you are generating noise for your teammates.

That seems almost ridiculous? You commit code that you wrote and then Code Review your commit and then verify it? Doesn't that happen as part of the original commit by common sense?

When does code review kick in? Is it based on say a 10 person team or a 100 person team? Somewhere in-between?

Thank you!!! :)

Would you consider sharing the sheet? I am always looking for books!

I am into my first thousand books. If I have a queue of 10-20 already purchased (garage, deals, new, offers) and someone recommends a book somewhere such as HN, I add it.

I don't think tracking books you want to read is Tsundoku.

Are you really comparing this to Anime.js? I don't know if it's satire.

I am convinced that music.youtube.com upvotes and downvotes are irrelevant. I have been frequently using "Discover Mix" for 3 years. It seems pretty simple, I like dance music with no lyrics. I have downvoted maybe a few thousand songs. I get the usual snackbar. "We will tune your recommendations".

What really gets my goat is when I flip back to the browser to see something I have already previously downvoted since there is a "thumbs down" highlight. Whatever algorithm is being used, it doesn't have the ability to not play something that has previously been disliked.

Why I find this amazing is because if you told me to write a "Discover Mix" algorithm, the first or last step of that is going to be the only thing I really know. Filter out the manual dislike clicks.

I'd be interested to know where the fine goes?

I was an old YouTube "Paid" subscriber. I can't remember what it was before "Red" or even if it was a thing? Anyway it's been quite a while. The dislike removal annoyed me but the straw was the whole "Shorts" thing.

My subscription feed almost 10x'd overnight to the point that it had no value. I started unsubscribing from the "short" spammers which were genuinely good channels and this got my subscription feed as to be very little. Not enough to be worth paying for so I cancelled.

I put the money to Audible now.

I find it staggering that youtube didn't know I was a paid member as far as a product. I wasn't allowed to filter shorts. I was still (before) Sponsor Block being fed in-video ads. So the only thing they ended up offering me was a very limited paid UBlock/SponsorBlock experience which is already free. I don't think I have actually lost anything by not paying "premium".

Do that but with spent nuclear fuel. A few million trees compressed into a barrel.

Do you know why in 2023, this is the case? It has long irked me that rail is maybe 150 years old and yet somehow it costs outrageous money to maintain. I don't understand the "it is harder to maintain". Has there been no advancement?

There might very well be! But your last sentence for me only makes sense if the mediocre person is rewarded which is honestly not a thing. Since if the mediocre developer was rewarded they wouldn't end up being like me.

I'd personally solve it asap but I would never declare it until it was absolutely critical and then look like a superstar at day0 to offset all of the time I spent doing nothing for weeks.

"Oh THAT is why we keep Bellend"

Give me a life altering kickback as a fat cheque each April or get the minimum possible work I can do to keep my job whilst management tries to figure out what that is and if I am viable.

I do maybe 20% a week of my total.

To be clear, I have been through the stress. ESPECIALLY in the games industry where a specific corner/corner collision had me crying and wished I was dead coz it was on me. I solved it, I got nothing.

I'm a single developer and its fine. (5 years in).

I believe we are in a time where everyone is milking the 90s-20s real estate bubble and no one wants to be first to fold. Internationally, not just on a per country basis. As soon as say, French real estate collapses (or UK or USA or Germany etc), the whole rotten castle of cards will fold as well. If it doesn't you can enjoy the expensive property, but you won't be eating farmed foods, won't be in a clean environment and wont have nurses to look after you since no one can afford to be in any relative area and I mean just for shelter from the elements.

Do you see a new DOM being realistic? Not a sarky comment. I ask because I don't see the problem with a new <bellend> tag. Meaning that in 2023 browsers start having a html and a bellend tag representing an end to legacy and a line to the future.

I'm struggling with those numbers personally.

I mean that's it. Is it even something based in reality to expect a simple person to scroll through unknown and almost endless legalese and then expect to go to court because I broke the EULA and the judge would look at my life and tell me that I broke clause 44.24? It's never going to happen.
