The numbers are close enough to be meaningless, as is the benchmark. Your users won't be able to read 10 rows in the difference in time it is from react to vue's rendered rows, much less 10,000...

I'm sorry to hear that this is the way things are for you. I've never worked at a company with this kind of culture, and would leave one in an instant. This is disgusting, and shouldn't be the way things are.

I'm not sure what code completion you're using, but if it's contextual, I'm very lost as to how typing a ridiculously long name would be faster than auto completing it. Especially since once you're used to the auto complete, you can basically use shortcuts for specific things you're using in that context a lot. "BindingOperations.EnableCollectionSynchronization()?" oh, that's "bop.ecs". There should be very few options to pick from unless everything is very similarly named...

Go to definition is insanely useful. Just because you "write good software," and are able to put everything in exactly the correct place, and find everything without it, doesn't mean that everyone else does, or the guy next to you does, or that you aren't wasting your time by not using it. Go to definition isn't just for multiple inheritance hierarchies. It can be as simple as getting to another method in the same file 50 lines away, or to a child class's method which is in exactly the right spot, and you'd be easily able to find. It's not about where it takes you, it's about the speed at which it takes you there. You press one button and you're back to getting through the control flow of the code without interrupting your thought process by having to search for a method. Press another button and you're back to where that method ends. Yes, you don't need it, but the speed that it offers you is invaluable a lot of times.

It's not just that the first clarification was more useful. The first clarification was correct. The comment said the renders are beautiful, obviously meaning rendering in in the 3D rendering[1] sense. The clarification stated that they weren't rendered in that sense because the author used photoshop, which doesn't render in that sense.

Then the second clarification stated that rendering also meant drawing... and while it does, it also has a specific meaning within 3D representations which doesn't really fit here.

Nothing to call anyone a nazi over but the second clarification wasn't needed or useful.

Maybe, you know, actual conversation? This woman is saying that whenever a VC says something she doesn't like, she gets up and leaves, and says "Sorry, I don't think this will be a 'good fit'." Then she tells the VCs it's their fault for saying something she didn't like - in a blog post?

What a ridiculous situation to even be considering talking about, yet here we are.

Have you ever written, debugged, tested, and deployed a mobile app solely from a smartphone? That's the point he was making. They're unequal in that the apps on them can't be made by them.

Once you understand that, you can see why Venmo doesn’t want users to make merchant transactions, by which it really means payments outside their networks of close acquaintances. (“Merchant transactions,” Vaughan tells me, “is sort of the catchall for the things that we can’t predefine.”) The analogous real world example is that you wouldn't leave a pair of tickets in a mailbox just because someone sent you a note promising to drop off an envelope of cash at a later date.

Isn't that why you're using a PAYMENTS platform, and not a PROMISE NOTE platform? When you receive or send a payment on a PAYMENTS platform, that's not, and shouldn't be, equivalent to a note promising cash. It should be the cash.

Since it's not, is it not fraudulent to say that it is and pass it off as that?

This is why I can't wait for Apple to introduce Force Touch. Do I press this lightly to do something completely different - does this app have that? Do I press it harder to do something else? Did I press it hard enough / lightly enough?

Yes, obviously it's not a drop in replacement as the behavior is different, but it does the same thing, giving you a number from 0 to 3 based on the card number. Pairing it with i%13 works just fine.

They own the website. They can put whatever they want on the front page...

blocking GA may break your ability to actually use the site at all (many travel sites, for instance).

What? How does that even work? If GA goes down, their site just stops working until it's back up?

It's a question posed because of the statements in the article that the tech industry is racist and sexist, and 10x programmers are toxic, not his actual view on black female programmers...
