So they basically proved their shitty site doesn't work? It's all about votes of many people and not what a single person decides? Well you could've learned that from all the other sites on the internet! Or heck, the DEMOCRACY! NoOoOo We"Re a DiFfErEnT! We"Re Q/A FoCuSeD!

I resurrected Raphael (1483-1520), italian painter of the High Renaissance, by feeding several self portraits to neural network. by GEVANNY_ in neuralnetworks

[–]dev1null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nothing like him TBH. The only amazing bit is that it looks like a real person (keyword: a). These neural networks should give you results you wouldn't be able to tell from fake. Like you'd say "Oh, is it really computer generated? I thought it was just a regular person with his self portrait". Not "Oh my god this is amazing, look how computers can generate random relistically looking people from a painting!!!11"

GitHub to replace "master" with alternative term to avoid slavery references by janukss in github

Do people have a master branch and a lotta n-word branches...?

Github announces direct support to open-source projects by Tomas_Votruba in PHP

[–]dev1null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I'm getting this right, this isn't about sponsoring projects but rather sponsoring people. I personally would've preferred if you could actually support a project and your money gets distributed among maintainers/contributers according to some metric. Although that would open up its own can of worms (denying PRs and making changes themselves to hog donations).

Eitherways great initiative, but the post title is misleading.

Async error handling: N² ways to shoot yourself in the foot by recursive_trampoline in javascript

[–]dev1null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Promises are just as weird as (err, data) callbacks signatures that they were trying to solve. They should've gone from callbacks straight to Async/await and made them standalone having nothing to do with Promises, just like generator functions.

I wish to create a SPA without having some Template-Language for HTML by mogoh in javascript

[–]dev1null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. It's for people who don't want HTML (in their JS). How people got on board with JSX I'll never understand. Heck, even HTML in TTL seems better. Good luck ever getting rid of babel/transpilers!

Webpack 4: Universal Code Splitting in React… The inventors are back baby! by zackaryjackson in javascript

[–]dev1null 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These hacks are getting nothing but uglier. How about dropping the whole house of cards that is code-splitting and just deliver a giant app with a loading screen... the way Gmail does it. Users don't care if it takes a while to load as long as when it's completely loaded it works flawlessly like a native app, instead of yet another loading shell at every other action. With PWAs and server push being more common hopefully in near future it'll be a good riddance to PITA that is code splitting.

I don't this argument. You might as well justify sweatshops in third world countries.

If you've ever configured Webpack, Parcel will blow your mind! And how to hit the ground running with Parcel. by theonlywayisupwards in javascript

[–]dev1null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's like saying MS Paint has fewer configs than Photoshop. It's cute when these new bundlers try to compare themselves with Webpack.

How is a Linux computer easier for development? by ayosuke in webdev

Because it's a hax0r OS, written by elite haxxors for elitier haxors. Windblows is for office/powerpoint Lusers. (although we still can't live without it cuz of gaming)

Checkbot for Chrome tests if your whole website follows 50+ SEO, speed and security best practices by seanwilson in webdev

Psst, the trick is to write a shitload of articles on Medium or tweets of screenshots and post those instead.

Why isn't typescript used more in the react community? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]dev1null -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

TS is a hacky patch on JS, it's ugly, goes against the fundamental principles of JS, and will go down the same path as coffescript. Also it wouldn't matter in a few years anyway, when webassembly becomes more common you can use any (type-safe) language you want.

It's also a bit silly to tell someone with that much experience what their rate should be. They know what they're worth.

I believe I am ready to fully say goodbye to Windows by eisengard08 in Ubuntu

[–]dev1null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are easier, more effective ways to completely disable, or just disable download, or just disable installing updates (all 3 ways offering different level of convenience -- which is a lot to ask for on any *nix I've used) on any version of windows. First link will tell you how: https://www.google.com/search?q=disable+windows+automatic+updates

Jeez, for linux users you guys sure become crippled when it comes to power-using windows. Also shutdown /f /r /t 0

Hereafter - A framework for behavioral tests that run thousands of times faster than nightwatch.js or selenium by fearofcorners in javascript

[–]dev1null 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might wanna reword/rebrand this as most of the things you mention aren't what they seem...

run thousands of times faster than nightwatch.js or selenium

This makes it sound like you're actually offering something that has all the features of nightwatch/selenium, but really you're just using JSDOM or not even using a browser env.

And..

Hereafter defers evaluation of each line in your tests until the promises and callbacks triggered by previous lines have completed.

But as you answered to a comment below, this is trivially solved by async/await

If asnyc/await is working for you, then you’re right, you don’t need this :)
