I’m trying to support blik and use it more but honestly, I find blik not easy to use. I’m sharing accounts with family members so I’m not sure how that will work for “save account” feature. But the fact I need to switch between apps is super annoying to me. With apple pay it’s duble tap to face id and that’s it.

It takes cheap labor. EU has tech. If I’m not mistaken Netherlands one of few who has capabilities to produce machines for photolithography. Question is how to make it competitive.

Idk which market you are in. In mine no one cares about your project. Most of companies don’t do innovation. Most of real life projects I saw just moves data around. When I interview people all I care about is knowledge of tech stack and what I call “analytical thinking”.

Omg this is so true, I had 3 engineers which supposed to work on component. It took me almost a day to explain context, requirements and how work is split. Two of them were busy with other work. One did their part. After reviewing I realized they still lack understanding and need to rework what was done.I made an experiment and implemented whole thing myself. Since coordination part was eliminated it took me 3 times less than initially estimated.

I was on vacation in Portugal and twisted my ankle badly. It was in remote area, so hospital was not the best. But experience was ok. It was in a town with around 25k people. 2 hours of waiting. x-ray and doctor visit costed me 55 euros.

In my home country I pay 20 euros per month for private health insurance. This includes basic dental insurance. I guess, most expensive procedure I had is MRI of brain, but it was also fully covered so I’m not sure what was the price. There is free healthcare but I only had to resort to it once

Wow, who could’ve thought China will choose their cheap labor over local. Hungarians got owned by their politicians, again.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d always choose html over js if I could. My problem with css, and web in general, that it’s too fragmented. It’s like those people who are designing css, html, js and browsers didn’t speak to each other whatsoever. So now there is entire industry of js frameworks to glue all shit together. Like, look at the WebComponents. Which supposed to be native, out of the box replacement. So much effort and they still cannot compete, in some cases they simply do not provide basic features needed to build complex UIs. Next time I can choose stack I’ll probably just go with htmx

Never heard of electric tanks or jets

I feel like I saw this picture in a book when I was a child. This gives weird vibes

Don’t know about tailwind but I used styled-components and not going back to vanilla css. CSS seems to be designed to be used with HTML, which did make sense back when it was created. Modern web is 99% JS and components composition which does not work well with Vanilla CSS in terms of class name uniqueness, specificity. Also it easy to dumb shit with CSS, like, I worked in the project where we had a lot of legacy global CSS. We had like dozen CSS styles which were adding margin to <label/>, <p> and so on. I mean no classes, just globally. I’ve been forced to add ‘all: unset’ to basically all my new components just to avoid changing global styles and breaking something else. Do not recommend.

I think they will actually build drones. Their labor will be significantly cheaper than Russian’s, whose salary must be high enough to compete with non-military non-government employers. Korean worker will get bear minimum coz no one cares. Korean army gets tech. Russians instead can be sent to frontline where they will not survive till paycheck. Profit.

Huh, funny he forgets to mention “Britain in US”

Explosion?

It’s not like I’m deciding on customer’s IT policy

I’m doing cloud migration now and one of assumptions is that two regions in Americas is enough for resilience. I’m in danger

Nope, JS is “You think you are nerd”.

Also, why React is there? It’s a lib not a language

I’m still not totally understanding what you’re looking for. But if you need alternative to JS for writing web UIs check out htmx. It’s still JS lib but its main goal to facilitate hyper text as engine. Meaning you do SSR but with CSR UX. And it’s backend agnostic.

If one needs AI to add try-with-resources then one shouldn’t code professionally

Trump: People are dying in the war. We need Ukraine to capitulate

Also Trump: Send those mfs to country where they will be executed

While trade war isn’t good for anyone US is clear looser here since China’s export to US (as of 2023 stats) is only 15% from its overall export. They can sell more other countries to smoothen impact. Meanwhile who gonna buy US stuff? “Best friend“ Russia with total GPD of less than California?
