seems overloaded, also seems to behave oddly.. seems like it got overloaded, slowed to a halt, lost a lot of progress and got switched into the kr region?

While the comparison doc mentions it, I don't see anyone here talking about Wipr 2. As the comparison doc states, if all you need is configuration-free ad blocking on macOS and iOS, Wipr 2 definitely gets my vote.

I'm not sure if I'm just completely unlucky and/or illiterate, but I coughed up for Wipr and it really has not panned out as effectively as I'd hoped. I recently also tossed in UBOLite and the difference is night-and-day: actually being able to browse without ads.

Might just be a friend group thing but I will also add on that very few games of risk I ever played didn’t involve some level of ‘meta’ strategy like a husband/wife not attacking each other or that guy that doesn’t like you refusing an obviously mutually beneficial alliance.

I hate hate HATE that behavior. Games are games. Obviously you can be unnecessarily rude or cruel in a way that will sour someone's taste for playing with you or playing the game again. But the point of games is to win. When people refuse to act in their best interest or are "nice" its so frustrating because it makes the entire game pointless.

edit: In a way, it feels like people who wave you on when they have the right of way at a stop sign. It's not nice, just follow the rules and drive predictably. /rant

I don’t really understand stock splits. Is the only point to allow people to buy shares who could previously not buy because one share was too expensive? If so, why not just introduce fractional shares into the stock market with some fixed point number of decimal places? Or just keep track of ownership fraction (e.g. 0.0043% of the company)?

Yes, and also finer grained control in general even for larger portfolios. Almost like increasing the resolution.

React itself has a few rough edges but the functional render path design is just how UIs should be done, period.

Never tried Vue. Is it similar?

0xRCA · 6 years ago
They're pretty similar. I feel like the best comparison is when you write bad React code you can tell, but there isn't really "bad" Vue code in the same way since it's so malleable. That obviously is both good and bad.

To me React is the preferable framework, it's much more opinionated and finicky but also more clear and thoughtful once you start approaching problems the way it requires. Vue is a lot like React, but it's extremely flexible and beginner-friendly. It doesn't really require a novice developer or someone coming from something very different like Rails or Angular to change how they think beyond the component structure itself.

Two-way data binding seems much nicer and easier when you first come to Vue, but has so many hidden pitfalls and annoyances that one-way completely side-steps.

That being said, I _despise_ DSLs and they should be avoided at all costs. They seem like a waste of brainspace and extremely fragile. It's my single biggest knock against Vue.
