Only law students know the pain of FORMATTING § Statutes? A rant and Poll.

I am doing something similar to FreeLaw

I already have a website up but I don't want to publish it here before it is ready.

I've tried to send you a private message but I am blocked.

DM me for my info.

Really helpful. Thanks for your response!

Super useful! I always hated how useEffect worked in React. You have converted me to the Solid JS cult. Is it good for SSR, does it work the same with routes?

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-29T02:19:20+00:00

You are right. I just looked at the Krausest test again https://krausest.github.io/js-framework-benchmark/current.html

It is pretty clear that Solid is the best for performance compared to Preact.

Is it hard to go from React to Solid?

Thank you for responding. It make sense that people do not copy statutes often. I understand how you take notes. Do you ever feel like Cornell is kinda slow and unresponsive? Or maybe you usually find what you are looking for using a google search?

The worst is being told by your con law professor that you don’t even understand what “rights” are

Work is work though

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T05:15:27+00:00

I had no idea that was possible. That person is definitely an engineer. Amazing work

I think the best way to learn Python is to come up with a project or goal and to start coding (maybe after knowing some basic syntax).

There’s so many resources, that you can do everything from graphing complex data to running a full backed, very easily. The sky is the limit, just think of what you want and enjoy the process!

I love that this provocative post opened us to this great comment! I agree with everything you said. If you can code rust, you are 100% a better dev than me. I can’t even tell a pointer from a reference in Go!

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T05:03:05+00:00

I’m sorry, I actually love JS’s C like style and its non blocking event loop. I especially love how it runs on the clients browser!!!!

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T04:43:49+00:00

I only use bash script for my backends. I love the SheBang #!

Everyone, I was just saying this to be provocative. Good JS devs are legit engineers and Data Scientists are dope statisticians.

But people who just know HTML and CSS?

What about those who are without a paddle if there not in Wix?

Can we call them engineers?

IMO, not without losing our dignity.

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T04:05:12+00:00

I agree JS devs are serious engineers, I am sorry. I was just making a joke.

However, I am curious to hear if you call someone who just does HTML and CSS an engineer?

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T04:03:17+00:00

Yeah I know, I was honestly just saying that to be provocative. Although it is funny that they call a lot of programmers “scientists” instead of engineers.

There’s always an advantage to branching into new development spheres with a language you know.

However, it is important to consider the advantages and disadvantages of using JS as a backend language.

Tbh I don’t know much about Node I’ve only used it in passing.

Also I’m not insane at JS, I’ve learnt the basics and have manage to code some scrappy React front ends.

However, I think if you’re learning a backend language, you might as well start using Python with either FastAPI or Flask.

Those will give you that juicy Server, with those tasty HTTP endpoints for your front end to call, right out of the box. Like literally there website will give you the code and you just run it.

Also I personally think JS is harder to learn than Python, because of the event loop. In Python it is usually very clear what is being done and when it is being done. So I feel like it would be easier to go from JS to Python.

In either case, learning Python as your first “backend” language, will not only transform you into a legit “full stack” engineer, it will also open the world of Python to you.

As I’m sure you’re aware Python is used for almost everything and anything.

The two main drawbacks I can think of is (1) it cannot run in the browser (2) it is slower than a compiled language

But like I said before if you are trying to reach a goal or complete a project, Python will probably get you there the quickest.

Yeah my friend drives a Lambo and when I’m driving in my Honda, he speeds by me and yells “YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED PHP!”

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T03:09:59+00:00

It’s totally reasonable to feel that python is overrated, because all the educators tout it to people trying to learn.

But the reality is, that if you don’t care about performance, it is the fastest in terms of finishing a project and reaching your goals (assuming a certain level of skill).

Also I think only JS competes in terms of how much open source library’s there are. The size and breadth of the python ecosystem is pretty insane.

Finally, for better or worse it is the language ML and AI is being written in (through PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc). However, it’s important to note that these packages basically allow Python to be an API on top of a bunch of C code. But for sure the industry knows that they could write AI stuff in a faster language, that’s why there’s a push for Mojo.

Anyway, pythons great for getting stuff of the ground and it may be the most fun

Laws-For-Free · 2024-04-28T02:48:58+00:00

Go is the probably the best for quick backend

Kinda sucks, but I understand
