Nat (she/they)

Who says this is JS? Might be Rust.

Immediate mode rendering and components seem to be why people use them. And you know what? The web should natively support those but doesn’t (well it kinda bad components, but ehhh). Otherwise I agree, the frameworks are overcomplicated.

body {
    background-color: pink!important;
}

Capitalists found a way to exploit artists even harder, so that now they don’t even need to pay them.

I don’t think people would care quite as much if gen AI merely existed (I’m sure many would still dislike it, but just for being soulless). But it doesn’t just do that, it also destroys artists’ livelihoods and prevalence of their art using their own work. I don’t really care if it’s technically theft or not, it’s doing bad for society regardless.

Number = IEEE-754 double precision float, which includes NaN, so it makes sense

Could definitely be worse for latency in particular cases, but if we imagine a write heavy workload it still might win. Writing a byte/word basically has to do the same thing: read, modify write of cache lines, it just doesn’t confuse the dependency tracking quite as much. So rather than stalling on a read, I think that would end up stalling on store buffers. Writing to bits usually means less memory, and thus less memory to read in that read-modify-write part, so it might still be faster.

A lot of times using less memory is actually better for performance because the main bottleneck is memory bandwidth or latency.

Also, optional value semantics. I love value semantics!

Minecraft mod users are the worst. They’ll post a screenshot of a version mismatch or dependency error that literally tells them how to resolve it and ask “hey, this mod isn’t working, how do I fix it?”

These things add up if you’re doing them all over a 1 million line codebase, by which point it’s incredibly painful to claw back performance if you need it.

Is that the JS bundle only? I think you’re forgetting the need to ship a rendering engine, a JavaScript engine, and the rest of the JS you inevitably bring in if you’re using something like React.

I thought the joke here was that your unbalanced parentheses would make me angry (they did))

We already have nanoservices, they’re called functions. If you want a function run on another box, that’s called RPC.

Sounds like a distributed monad

I don’t think it’s unfair as long as you clearly communicate it and the other person is okay with it. Lots of oddities can be okay and fair as long as they’re clearly communicated about and agreed on.

I love their strong stance!

Forget I said anything actually, I’d rather forget I did this
