jQuery got popular because Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and other browsers weren’t exactly cross compatible. Writing vanilla JS was risky business in that sense.
It also supported AJAX across all major browsers, which meant the website could make API requests without reloading the entire page. It was super revolutionary to press a button and it only changed a part of the page.
Then Angular and React took it a step forward and that’s where we are now.
I don’t think more expensive games is going to cause a crash. If demand decreases, then the prices will follow.
What could potentially cause a crash (among the big guys) is the massive betting on landing the next big Fortnite goldmine. Sony is investing massively on live service titles like Concord, Marathon and Fairgames. Microsoft has struggled equally. They couldn’t even get Halo right.
JavaScript frameworks are invented because pure HTML and CSS suck for dynamically loaded pages, and vanilla JavaScript suck in general.
What’s not shown is that the car doesn’t have an engine. Management was really eager to release it to the customer. Don’t worry, it’s planned to get fixed later (spoiler: it’s never going to get fixed).
Because they want to chase that annual recurring revenue stream. Make game once - make money forever. What these executives don’t realize is how hard it is to make such game. They seem to believe if they throw just enough money at it, a profitable game will come out.
The incredible thing about this chainsaw is that no two people use it the same way. You think you knew most things about the chainsaw until you see someone else use it. They use a completely different technique, holding it in a way you never considered a possibility, and use buttons you didn’t know were even there - let alone what they are for. They’re equally mystified in terror when they see you use the chainsaw.
I was in on the crypto hate. I don’t really have a hate boner for AI.
Sure, there are things to dislike about AI, but it can be moderately useful. In contrast to crypto, AI is the hype because it’s widely used. Crypto was the hype because a few people hit the jackpot.
Rust and Cargo were built to be in a symbiosis with each other.
NPM is an afterthought of a rushed language.

I believe it’s mostly cultural. Alcoholic beverages are as old as civilization itself. We drink alcohol because that has been the social norm for thousands of years.
But there’s probably something about it being a beverage as well. It goes along well with food because of this, which makes it a tasteful alternative to water.
It’s annoying when going through a list of multiple ”1 month ago” entries. Maybe I’m looking for an entry at a certain date. Aim with mouse, wait one second, repeat.
What I could easily visually identify in less than 1 second can take more than 10 seconds to find.
It also greatly increases the cognitive load of using the program. If there are many entries to look for, then it’s going to be difficult to keep all actual dates in memory.
”Where was the 14 April entry? I need to check again. Ah there it is! Now I need to compare it against the 30 April entry. Where was it again? It was just in front of me…”
Then mouse hover doesn’t work on mobile.
Then you haven’t seen bad documentation (or had that sex you regret).
Showing ”2 weeks ago” or ”1 month ago” instead of the actual date. ”1 month ago” can be anything between 30 days and 60 days ago.
AITAH has been mostly made up rage bait stories long time before AI nonsense. There’s nothing that generates more engagement than someone being wrong on the internet.
The difference now is that the rage bait has become automated.
From the article:
Sometimes in this industry, you sign on to something, and it’s one thing and then as you’re making it, it becomes a completely different thing, and you’re like, ‘Wait, what?’
The script she signed up for probably didn’t make it to the final movie. The production was likely a poorly coordinated mess with ever changing demands from the higher ups.
There’s also ”we do machine learning”, which usually translates to ”someone trained an SVM model 10 years ago”.
I suppose Elon is feeling cornered.
The reputation of Tesla has never been lower and he’s at risk of getting kicked out. The future of SpaceX is uncertain under Trump. His role in the government didn’t pan out.
So I guess his only hope is to get Trump out of office as soon as possible. Maybe the next one will be less hostile against Elon.
I don’t think he will succeed. The cult of Trump is too strong. Elon is done for.

When I grew up I didn’t like drinking water. I thought it tasted bland compared to all the sugary drinks. Looking back, I think our family struggled with sugar addiction without knowing it. We consumed quite a lot of sugar in my childhood.
It wasn’t until my teenage years I questioned the amount of sugary drinks I consumed. So I just cut off all sugary drinks and embraced the way of the water.
Today I’m a proud water enjoyer.
