whats new about it? why is this post here? Beautiful Soup has been around for a long long time.

Blender 3.2 4 years ago

The thing about 3d modeling and animation is that you should actually know a few tools. Most places ask you to have a portfolio with 3d projects. They almost never ask for specific applications. If you go to artstation.com and look at the tools modelers use they typically use a few at a time. Blender is insanely good for just modeling. you'll see lots of artist use blender just to model, then substance painter for materials then import into 3dsmax, cinema4d, or maya for the renderer.

A cool note I just learned recently is that game companies are using blender to make hard surface modeling easy. Like EA is using blender to make all the levels in the Deadspace remake and importing that into Frostbite(their game engine)

real caustics!! finally we don't have to make a mask with light nodes.

again you call the devs lazy. you really need to sit back and think about what you say. There is nothing more apparent to me that you have no idea what you're talking about when you say that. Obviously you've never worked on a large team or in development at all. Strava probably doesn't think its worth it, and has absolutely nothing to do with the development team.

developers just seem completely lazy or incompetent

why? you really don't need to go down that road. Are you a developer yourself? because I'm sure you don't enjoy someone saying you're lazy because you haven't implemented a feature that some rando on the internet thinks you should. You must not be a developer because you can't possible think that this decision lands squarely on the shoulders of the dev team.

in both examples where you claim this doesn't work it worked for me. clicking on an empty space next to the form element and hitting tab focused correctly for me. Also tabbing then starting to type worked as well. I tested in FF and Chrome. Are you sure the options exist in the select box when you type? That would make it seem like type completion doesn't work. I Tried the checkbox and radio buttons example in FF and Chrome both auto select the field and using arrow keys to make options selected worked just like native. I think the error is somewhere between keyboard and chair.

yes you can since version .7 or something like that. deno compile. I use this quite a bit for CLIs.

Laravel is as much of a leading framework as React/NextJS are the leading frameworks for JS(next 2.5 million weekly downloads on npm, react 15 million). Its almost a 1:1 comparison. In the same way that I already pointed out JS like php, has a million fw but insiders know what the leading ones are. Everyone knows React is the clear on top winner. NextJS is also a clear on top FW. I dont think its up for debate at this point.

The Evil List 4 years ago

airbnb is "evil" because individuals buy property in a city and use that property however they want.

google is "evil" because they cut back on a meeting from once a week to once a month and restricted the meeting to a certain topic. Of all the things you could list google for being evil with, you choose that.

I will be ignoring everything from slate.com from here on out.

I see no difference. PHP has a billion FWs and a billion more CMSs. Python is the same way. Rails is the only example you give that has merit. I mean PHP is a terrible example. I've been coding PHP since around 2007, PHP has Zend FW, Laravel, Cake, Ignitor, Symphony, Silex... it keeps going and going. All I can see from your comment is some biases against JS. You do you on what you want to learn or use. But its not really an argument that holds up imo.
