You are correct, there are ways to do so. There are also soft-locks which are states which are just incredibly hard to get out of (heat death of the universe type scenarios some times). Pikasprey yellow is one youtuber who chronicles things in that area.

But I think the commenter above meant that Pokémon was a game which was possible to complete in a twitch plays style because it doesn't result in game over like an FPS or platform we would for example.

Further: e: dialectal version of "det", i.e. "it" öa, åa: adding an a on the end of a noun is a dialectal way of expressing "the 'ö'" and "the 'å'", respectively.

Isn't the point that companies should be judged by the cost of their actions, and not the details of their implementations?

I think developer speed is more important than optimising clock cycles unnecessarily. Generally writing to dom is much much slower than evaluting a few thousand expressions.

For the cases when it's not, use memo.

I still recommend Name of the Wind. It's frustrating, but I would rather have loved and lost, than not loved at all.

Killing flash was not about UX. The issues with it were technical.

Flash was not the UX for systems, but for fun little games and a means to tell a story in a way which wasn't available on the Web 20 years ago. This UX is fine as it is IMO. Cool even.

DICOM is also the format used at hospitals for medical images. At least in radiotherapy.

I read it as: Svelte is faster in theory, but since people write bad Svelte code, it is slower than the React code the same developers would write.

My interpretation is that this can be attributed to either svelte being hard to write, or people being used to React. Both of which are a challenge to companies looking to switch to Svelte.

When I studied philosophy, we applied scientific methodology to understand complex topics, categorising them, and evaluating them against each other. The theories of moral philosophy are under scrutiny in a way very similar to the (other) natural sciences.

I think you're equating the pro-mask side with some pro-science side. None of which has to do with the validity of science, or what truth is. You're talking about politics.

What alternative methods do you suggest for the "domains it doesn't fit"?

When you can't measure what's important, what you can measure becomes important.

For me the biggest selling point is that the content I like is on YouTube. Everything else I can do without.

I consume it through their RSS, which is nice, I suppose.
