Music searching was work but music recommendation was second to only older YouTube.

Both of those platforms steered users in such a nuanced and strange way which platforms like Spotify and Apple Music couldn’t capture.

How normal am I? 4 years ago

It might not be an unsolvable problem, but it is a problem that is apparent currently in the technologies that we use.

So is it safe to say that this tool is mostly trying to solve the developer experience side of front-end development, instead of trying to create a "new" technology such as SSR?

I've just mostly seen "fast" and "HMR" as the features of Vite, but I can't see a team switching over an entire project just to solve something that was probably decently "solved" to begin with.

If anyone care to actually learn how git works when rebasing, then it becomes much simpler.

That's a very arbitrarily vague answer. It's very easy to hand-wave the misuse of a tool just by saying "you don't know it well enough". It's much harder to admit that maybe the tool is just difficult to use in the first place.

I'd really like to know what mess people make when they don't rebase.

I've found that using merge gives a readable trail of when something was merged, whether that be from a branch's original branch, or if you're merging into another branch.

Rebasing just seems to cause a lot more headache when something doesn't go perfectly correct in between commits.

Yea, I agree with you. I pull out my MapQuest directions and everyone thinks I'm crazy. There's really nothing better than hard-copy directions because you have to truly know where you're going.

I don't really care though since I can barely hear them over my cassette tapes blaring through my sound-system and the wind blowing through my manual windows.

I'm pulling information from an introductory astronomy class, but isn't the definition of what lot of time passing is, not agreed upon?

/The Five Ages of the Universe/ by Adams and Laughlin theorize that new stars won't stop forming until trillions (possibly hundreds of trillions) of years after the universe's inception. We're currently on years 14-15 billion. If their theories are true we'd be, arguably, one of the first instances of intelligent life in the universe.

Now, some astronomers theorize that the universe will end in 5 - 15 billion years, so that would change the timeline substantially.

I think they're saying that they're not mutually exclusive.

I agree, using the argument of "x is a tool for illegal activities" is brittle because you could say that about literally anything.

You could attribute the same thing to Amazon and Google gift cards being used in scams.

I'm confused on the arguments presented. Is it that the out-of-box functionality isn't as good as other GUI based editors, or that certain things are off by default?

I agree that certain settings shipped with neovim could be expanded. There should really be a process to elect plugins and settings that are generally accepted as "good" for neovim.

Plugins like Gruvbox, vim-surround, coc.nvim, vim-plug, nerdtree etc. have been continuously maintained for years, why not make it easy for new users to install and use them without having to go on the path of wonder?

I came from coc.nvim and switched to the native LSP when it was released on nightly. For a while I was using VSCode and came back to nvim and switched back to coc.nvim.

I found that the native LSP's community to be too quickly changing. Plugins that were necessary earlier weren't, while new necessary plugins came into play. But, coc.nvim was steady chugging along and my old settings file worked out of the box.

I'm also not a huge fan of just the sheer amount of plugins that use the LSP. It seems like every plugin has go-to functionality.

There seems to be a bit of animosity towards front-end development based on the comments. Particularly due to the constant change of the environment and what's perceived as the best option.

But, there haven't been calls for solutions.

There's points to backend technologies not changing much. My thoughts are because the backend just doesn't matter as much. Backends are mostly I/O streams placed and interacted with on mega-monolithic-hardware.

Front-end is different in every aspect. User interaction, engine/language constraints, client differences, and more. They all come into play. The applications you can run on the front-end currently would be alien to those writing them in the 90's, 00's and early 10's.

Front-end has to deal with immensely more complexity than the backend, and therefore new solutions and technologies need to be made.

Not that I disagree with the article, ternaries are more powerful than && but for the first example, would `contacts.length > 0 && ...` suffice?

It's also interesting that PayPal's team didn't have tests around a user with 0 contacts.

What do you mean by massive disaster ahead? Are you stating there is a massive disaster ahead, or COVID has steered us into a direction that adverts that?

No, I think someone should be *excluded* from talking at a conference because they literally write Eugenics theory, regardless of the brackets, semicolons and spaces they write in a text editor.

It sounds like we just have a difference in moral standards.
