software engineer building things you might have seen. used to play a lot of etqw, tf2, and quake but now its mostly cs. big henry winkler fan

@AvLawns @transmedbiomed @michaelpatron0 @glen5839 Yes, so why not throw out an insane number and if this dude is willing to pay it you hit a jackpot? I've seen it done all the time in my line of work where folks quote insane figures for simple jobs they don't want top do and if someone says yes then you just made bank.

@catalyst_hd I just wish you could gib bodies when they're down like in the old ET games.

@thdxr I hope one day JS gets a popular Laravel/Rails-like framework. I know there are cons to it, but sometimes I feel JS devs (myself 100% included!) focus way too much on things that don't make for a better web (read: performant, privacy focused, accessible) but make _US_ "feel" good

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@thdxr ... but now it's all this weird 1st party Nitro/Nuxt mix that I feel are in a weird Schrodingers Cat in my head where I understand it... but DO I understand it?

@ZeekerssRBLX I think what's worse than the stunning is all of the health regen. I know it's because I'm used to games where you don't regen that fast, but it doesn't feel rewarding to build up damage and then all of a sudden they're self-healing damage faster than you could deal it

@CIevarUsername @VicariousNick @FPSthetics Well, good thing we're only talking about vibes and atmosphere! :D

@papaluigi77 I'm not talking about this game's parkour, I'm on about the atmosphere and vibes.

@aristath The way updating a block's attributes and files causes you to need to deprecate it and run a new version side-by-side should have been a red flag that something is wrong at its core and it isn't a good or sustainable model for the long term.

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@aristath Since the initial rushed release in 2019, my main question has always been this: why did they try to do a weird, half-baked version of SSR React in PHP instead of just making a "new" CMS in Node?

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@ukslim @davesnx @0xglitchbyte Also, you said you're probably not likely to be taught without needing node_modules, but Eloquent JS only mentions it a couple of times. I know once is dedicated to JS modules in general and the other is Node. I'm not sure if the newest edition mentions it elsewhere, though.

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@ukslim @davesnx @0xglitchbyte Also both of your proposed alternatives require more effort than using a built in browser + Notepad equivalent which is pretty much standard on every single OS known to man.

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@ukslim @davesnx @0xglitchbyte C'mon, this is a disingenuous response. If you're a beginner who has never programmed before, you aren't trying to jump in and rebuild a modern SaaS platform.

Might as well say if you can't build RDR2 from the ground up by yourself, it isn't worth doing game dev.

@ChilledChaos I always gotta toss out Person of Interest when folks want a new show to binge. IMO it fills a nice niche between comfy villain of the week that cleanly morphs into serialized drama (circa 2015 CBS) with a great cast (namely Michael Emerson, Taraji P Henson, Amy Ackler)

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@ryanflorence @brianleroux Does RSC allow you to optimize for certain circumstances? Sure!

What you said sounds more like if you don't use React + RSC, you deliver a worse experience to your users out of the gate as if something like Wikipedia would be instantly made better just by having RSC.

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@ryanflorence @brianleroux Then you should have been more careful with what you say, because "you can go back to the pre-react JS sprinkles era too, with an even lower ceiling" leads one to believe your opinion is that React somehow raises the ability to deliver quality UX.

@AdamRackis @SpaceRaceDandy And if your library doesn't have it, you may be able to get a neighboring county's library card for a fee that might be less than the price for an O'Reilly sub. Not to say subbing to them is bad, but public libraries are just such a resource rich place folks disregard lately!

[thundermuffin @thundermuffin]

@AdamRackis @SpaceRaceDandy And to avoid stealing, folks should really check with their public library, because some offer this O'Reilly subscription completely free, as well as access to a variety of other technical & non-technical learning materials, ebooks, and newspapers.

@TechHighest @brian_lovin @Presidential22_ No, @brian_lovin is right. Safari sits around 18% globally, but peaks in low 30s for US. https://t.co/k3Sv5tHtoU

@cnakazawa @PascalPixel @switz213 It's always fun to remember how both devs & users would have been OK with a strict, fixed height for something like this this not _that_ long ago, but now it's looked at as a cardinal sin to some folks to even suggest it!
