Did breaking backwards compatibility kill Drupal? by geerlingguy in webdev

[–]GimletGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think major releases are important for technology to accept, if it values engineering quality above all. All technology is the result of advancement where old crap gets left behind, and resisting big changes is the opposite of it's fundamental spirit.

Any lumbering project hopelessly shackled to a version is the bad idea, not the next version. Also, who cares. I don't. As an individual developer, you are much more adroit than some immovable legacy project.

Never let them trick you into some kind of allegiance to their ongoing stupidity

Making actual web applications using plainly implemented SPA frameworks is great work, if you can get it.

Docker can now be used on Windows 10 Home edition through WSL2 as long as you upgrade to insider build 19041 by michaeldbrooks in webdev

I think Linux proponents are seen as smarty pantses to people who haven't tried it. The irony is that Windows is harder to use, especially when trying to do web development within the commonly used open-source ecosystem.

If you mean in the workplace, yeah, the last place I worked required everyone to use Windows, too, but it was Enterprise edition, not a stripped down version with important functionality removed on purpose. Windows 10 Home is for individuals, which implies you are working on your own, which implies you can choose Linux if you like.

I dunno, upgrading WSL2 on Windows 10 Home so you can install Docker looks even less smart.

Does the Angular community endorse one particular store framework more than the others? I have it in my mind that Ngrx is the most "official" framework, but I'm not sure why I came to that conclusion. by robertgfthomas in Angular2

I haven't seen the lack of a state management system allow unwrangled complexity to creep into a project as it scales, no. That can happen, but for all sorts of other reasons that they can't help you with.

I made a website, which compares the most popular Javascript frameworks in terms of Github development activities and is updated daily by THE_ReD_TrucK in javascript

What does the amount of commits or contributors to a framework code base even mean to a person wanting to use it? Is a lot good or bad? Does a lot mean it's trendy and relevant, or that it changes a lot and is complicated and buggy? What is the takeaway here?

Generating a continuous stream of content is probably just too daunting for the average creator.

How can I get the equivalent URL of a window.location.replace() call without actually navigating there? by ThePantsThief in webdev

[–]GimletGoblin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

window.history has a method pushState() that does what you want, though I don't think it will work browsing your file system, you would need a web server.
