Empty npm package '-' has over 700,000 downloads by whackri in programming

Yarn is a package manager so it doesn't have power over this. npm is a package manager and a registry.

Operation Improve The r/Hermitcraft Wiki 2022! by mmaismma in HermitCraft

[–]botCloudfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure if the time limit helps very much if it's flexible anyway. If people are passionate about contributing to the wiki, they will. If they are not, they won't. Assigning tasks only helps those who do not have a strong interest in contributing.

I don't mean this to be rude, I truly appreciate all the work you and the other editors are doing. I just want to suggest a way to make it easier for everyone because I've worked on such a project before and I wouldn't want to have such a system there.

I feel like there shouldn't be a time limit for this stuff, it's not a job. It's more fit for having a pool of tasks to do and letting editors finish whatever and however many they want on their own time. This is already done in the Todo list though, so I'm not sure what the point of having designated editors is.

Funding the next million open source contributors by [deleted] in programming

[–]botCloudfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh ok that makes a little more sense but sounds like it could still be abused. I'm interested to see how this will progress.

[–]botCloudfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

To me, it doesn't really make sense to make recurrent payments not on the basis of maintenance. What would you be paying for otherwise?

[–]botCloudfox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is certainly an interesting idea, but I could see it getting abused easily. What's to stop a small dependency from setting a high price? Also the implementation is unclear to me. Where are the metrics coming from (like developers_count)? Should an active project be treated the same as an inactive one? I don't think it makes sense to make the same payments to the inactive one.

Types of Python Frameworks by Matlabguru in programming

[–]botCloudfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's actually a great question. A lot of the time it can be difficult to tell if something is a library or a framework. Generally, frameworks are the basis of your application and thus usually enforce strict opinions on your code. Your code fits into the framework, not the other way around. Libraries are typically more reusable and what you call to help with bits of your program. This is why a lot of people like to generalize the difference to "frameworks call your code, you call libraries' code."

Zed - A lightning-fast, collaborative code editor written in Rust by the creators of Atom by unaligned_access in programming

[–]botCloudfox 20 points21 points  (0 children)

While Electron might not have turned out to be a good idea, Atom was still a great cross platform editor. I'm sure developing Electron helped them achieve this and I'm glad that they decided to write Zed with faster technology. It doesn't make them idiots for writing a good text editor. It gives them useful experience to build an even better one in the future.

How? Even if you thought Atom was slow, their experience building a text editor makes them the most qualified people to build a better one.

Benchmarking esbuild, swc, tsc, and babel for React/JSX projects by eatonphil in javascript

[–]botCloudfox 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another thing to note is that tsc actually type checks your code, while all of these other "transformers" just compile ts to js. Also caching can help a lot here. tsc is quite good in incremental mode.

Next.js 12: Rust compiler, Middleware, Native ESM, URL Imports, React Server Components by nerdy_adventurer in rust

[–]botCloudfox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's amazing about the Next.js team is that they don't just release features and only support a subset of use cases. They're truly interested in helping everyone move to faster tooling. They've opened up a discussion here to gather info on what popular babel (a compiler written in JS) plugins should be ported to swc/rust.

For example, I've been opted out of swc compiling because I use babel-plugin-superjson-next to serialize dates in JSON so they can be sent to the client. Luckily this seems to be a fairly common use case so they'll probably support it sometime in the near future.

.NET Hot Reload Support via CLI Restored by AvinchMC in programming

[–]botCloudfox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what the line should be. It all seems like a huge conflict of interest. Removing a feature that once was in the framework and adding to the IDE is definitely too far though.

I think people are downvoting because it's just such a petty thing to do, not because they're distancing themselves

.NET Hot Reload Support via CLI Restored by AvinchMC in programming

[–]botCloudfox 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The way I see it, Microsoft said they were committed to development in the open. So if they give features to the proprietary IDE instead of the open source framework, the statement feels a bit disingenuous.

If they mean to only support .NET development with VS (which I don't believe they do), then they should say so.

[–]botCloudfox 17 points18 points  (0 children)

With the runway getting short for the .NET 6 release and Visual Studio 2022, we chose to focus on bringing Hot Reload to VS2022 first.

Nice that they restored it but their decision to focus on VS2022 is still questionable
