Some of the dog breeds, most notably French Bulldogs, have been specifically bred for qualities that enhance their interaction and dependency on humans (like having a unique set of facial features and expressions that many people find irresistibly cute and compelling).

Warp terminal comes to mind as well. But I believe they are just plain closed-source. What makes these projects fake open-source?

getting acquired by a big tech who wants to catch up with Microsoft's dominance in developer tools is one possible out

Correct, but people are more likely to learn a new skill or a tech stack in their 20s than in their 40s. And when current 65+s were in their 20s javascript wasn't a thing yet.

65 year olds don't do javascript. which is explainable since javascript itself is ~28 years old and node.js is like 15?

Someone in this thread gave an example of casting floats to integers being glue code. But how exactly you want to cast - using round, floor or ceil is a business logic. Where is the meaningful difference in this example?

I would guess text labels with services' names are supposed to be part of those icons

It's not a great language (clearly demonstrated by the discussion about it being good or not) but it's not terrible

I'm wondering what would be an example of a great language? Because we know that there are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses

Angular 2+ user here: - Components have nice API and are pleasant to use - Dependency injection containers out of the box are good for those who value inversion of control in their codebases - Change detection is good and fast. Gone are the times of leaky abstraction of the digest loop - Tooling has caught up: Angular CLI for rapid start, server-side rendering works just fine. You are using npm, webpack, typescript (brings es2016 features to you), modern testing frameworks and what not - Redux works nicely with Angular2+ as well, it's not exclusive to React - You can wrap pretty much any 3rd party browser widget into Angular component within maybe one hour of work

I guess when your open source library passes a million downloads per month, you are not worrying too much about marketing anymore. So i'm not quite sure why it's so important for the author to declare one and only one winner in the race. Both React and Angular users are benefiting from the competition

So does querySelectorAll, that's not the issue with jQuery API.

The problem is that "jQuery" function, aliased as "$" has 9 signatures (doing 9 different things, depending on which arguments you send to it), while querySelectorAll does only one thing

I've always seen jQuery as an additional layer to handle browsers' API inconsistencies. If browsers you need to support have consistent APIs now - there is no reason left for adding this layer to new projects anymore.
