naught

I don't think you're entirely wrong here, but you make sweeping generalizations about programmers that I see a lot online that irk me.

Most developers I know have a few languages they're familiar with. A good developer uses the right tools for the job. When I work with my python shop I use that. When I need a quick webapp it'll be JS. If there's something that requires high performance I might try go.

Every language has pitfalls and vulnerabilities, but that really says nothing of their utility. Any flame war between languages is typically pedaled by dilettantes fueled by memes they don't understand (like javascript == memes)

take this admittedly ancient study of vulnerabilities divvied up by language:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/which-are-the-most-insecure-programming-languages/

In JS, you don't have to free memory manually. Nor in python. This (mostly) precludes a whole class of severe bugs/vulns, but those weren't relevant anyway because they're different tools for different jobs.

We can bemoan the gigantic js ecosystem, but we can also realize it is a fantastic resource for novices and veterans alike.

Small nitpicks: The point of react is that it DOESN'T refresh. It maintains a virtual DOM which is faster to update and diff than the regular browser DOM, which you hinted at. No libraries necessary to do routing, but they do make it easier and better.

This however is a React Native application which doesn't have the same (browser) backend or requirements. It's native code. There is no refresh or routing per se.

That all said, the start menu is an abomination of the highest order. It just isn't really React's fault. People just love to hate on React and . React also gets a bad rap because it's so ubiquitous and easy to start using that novices and morons alike can make atrociously slow, bloated web apps with it.

What about all the people who it's happened to that didn't die? I'm not saying it's good and to roll over, but pretending like a shootout somehow creates a better outcome is genuinely not based in reality... yet

And animal abuse :)

it's actually remarkably easy to install and remove if you dont want it. Last time I used asahi it was cool but not ready for daily use. The m3 is a powerful little chip. I'd use that machine as my daily driver laptop whenever I needed it. Can do coding, music stuff, video editing, etc. I can do all that on my m1 pro, even!

alternatively, sit at a coffee shop, put a mech keyboard on top, and type a pretentious manuscript hoping someone will notice how cool u r (:

I completely agree with you, I just don't think the parent comment was loaded with as many assumptions as you made

That isn't what the parent is saying at all

oh yeah? do a .7z now 😏

e: ah, you created the tar first i see now. i bet you know how to decompress a .tar.gz by memory every time

I want to pay a botnet to upvote this comment

I don't get your combative, angry attitude. Just having a discussion. Clearly I mean "right" as in right to say something without critique or consequence, not as though I am the final arbiter of language. I support the intent behind the sign and his right to put whatever he wants on it. I think the wording is poor and could be more effective.

At the end of the day, we are arguing your right to say "bitch" here. We aren't defeating fascism by saying "bitch." Not remotely. "Bitch" is insulting because not only is it a dog, but a female dog. It's completely loaded with misogyny, and attempting to "reclaim" the language doesn't work here. Fuck is a completely different scenario. The gay/ball gurgle problem has already been excellently pointed out above. It also applies to women.

I'm not worried gramma is going to have a heart attack. I'm worried that we are instinctively using language that inherently insults and denigrates minorities. How we use language shapes how we think, and vice versa. There are plenty of other insults we can hurl
