Eh, your initial argument sounded neutral enough but this is bad. Would you jump this hard on the support person if the noise was a office cacophony?

I've been fought by people insisting that if we're using a framework, we should be using it for everything, if it has it, even when both agree that doing it natively is actually less cumbersome. All that in the name of consistency. I think middle ground is a good solution.

On topic: I don't think WebComponents are going to "make it" until someone builds a nice framework on top of them. React, Vue, Svelte, etc. solve a number of problems that are not directly solved by Web Components. State management, rendering, routing - right now, these are, imho, the high level areas that need solid solutions for an UI app to function in any sane way. How much of that is solved by going Web Components?

But what does "excellent" mean? Can you play any game with modern graphics at native resolution with at least 60 fps? That's barely happening on gaming laptops so I am kind of wondering if maybe the reason this sort of vague praise never mentions any particular games, settings, frames per second, etc. You know, the useful information.

I am writing this on a light Linux laptop with a Ryzen 6800H APU. It is somewhat capable for a laptop this small and light but it is no match for my gaming PC. Kind of doubt my m2 max is going to offer better gaming experience.

Your counter example is one guy dying from poisoning, in a country that does a lot of shroom foraging (берем гъби у гората).

The Russia rocket expert was likely killed.

Just today I went into a Xiaomi only store, branded as Mi store something.

After spending a few minutes looking around, I finally asked the guy if there's ANY product that works without an app. Surprisingly, there was - an electric shaving device (razors?). I couldn't stop laughing. Even things as simple of cheap pole/standing fan require apps.

1. Build a pipeline with macOS in mind (because "All engineers I know have Macs")

2. Complain when the macOS-oriented process doesn't work for everyone.

That's pretty cool. Curious what their telecoms think of this development.

I understand not trusting random developer, which means your only option is to create your own extension. Shouldn't be that hard, considering the scope of what's needed.

Provided you're a web developer, of course.

Sadly, what we have is bro science vs super cozy doctors and pharma industry. One group is largely ignorant, while the other wants to make money. You shouldn't trust either one blindly.

Every game is probably exaggerated but I've watched enough sports as a kid. Even back then it was clear to me that big, especially international, events are highly orchestrated. Yes, including outcomes.

I've been watching F1 for several decades and some key races are jazzed up to the point that one must actively suspend their disbelief. Not to mention Bernie Ecclestone straight up saying who's going to be champion and who isn't ever going to be one. It's all fake, dude. Unless you really believe some countries are thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat much better at sports (and everything else) because they're just that awesome in every respect.

Vue 3 + pinia is simply an amazing experience. Nothing is shoved down your throat

I tried getting back to React but Vue makes so much more sense. Feels like in the old days because all you do is write your code instead of dealing with a library and its ways.

This has to be satire. What sort of incredible self control does something like this require? Where does it end?

Even the title is baffling to me. It has "TV doctors" in it. TV doctors!

I can't even begin to imagine all the possibilities, almost none of them good, of having such a thing in the first place. This has to be on the same level as tv shamans and what not.

[proceeds to the article, finds about they mean "tv show doctors", then realizes this changes nothing. literally nothing]

Concludes with

> So yes, of course history tends to be written by the winners. But luckily there is a dedicated band of highly trained, poorly paid and badly dressed historians out there trying to circumvent that.

Duh. But these unsung heroes don't have the means to pump out an endless amount of hollywood movies, cop dramas, and historical pieces. Even if one is educated and smart, they don't get to decide what society, at large, has accepted as truth. Even these days, I'd think propaganda is most potent once it reaches word of mouth.

Maybe they don't appreciate the over-fishing and attacking these boats is all they can realistically do. Would anything even change if they were to write a formal letter to the "apex predator"?
