You must be on a very old browser, a terminal browser, ladybird, something like that. PEBCAK. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/OES_texture...

JonoW commented on The Case for C# and .NET   chrlschn.medium.com/the-c... · Posted by u/greenSunglass

I tried writing a simple crud api with asp.net, which should parse and respond json. It was the worst development experience I ever had while writing json apis. Validation? Not existent. OpenAPI/swagger documentation generation? Not existent. Then it also tried to force me into using MVC, while acting that it is express with its middlewares.

I switched back to node.js with fastify and wrote my app in an hour.

I really like C# for cli and windows desktop applications, but I probably won’t touch it for the web in the next few years.

But Node.js doesn't ship with those features built-in either?

Here is a take on the incident itself which I think is worth a look: https://twitter.com/grishchukroma/status/1503500141159985157

In short: This woman is an editor for the Russian propaganda machine, and it's very likely this was staged/is itself more propaganda aimed at the west.

JonoW · 4 years ago
I don't follow how this could be true, as normal Russian viewers would have seen a "we started a war" narrative that is essentially blocked everywhere else. I.e. there is a lot to lose, and also, everyone in the west knows there are lots of "good" Russians. They just need to see more of these sorts of messages, so if the Kremlin arranged this - win!

Any Russian users here - does the average person here not wonder why so many previously acceptable services are being blocked and/or silenced? Do they not wonder what it is that the authorities want to shield them from?

For a UI app, I think it's critical to first know how the app works from a user point of view. Then pick a (small) feature, and try figure out how it's rendered to screen by: - Read high level documentation (hopefully it exists) on the overall architecture, not deep-dives in the beginning - Find text that is rendered and tracing to where it comes from - Use the debugger; set breakpoints on client + server code to see the flow of data, particularly into lower layers that get data from DBs/APIs - Hopefully it's a TypeScript project and you can use an IDE to find references and otherwise navigate from symbols to see where functions/class/fields are used

Not sure if anyone's the same, but I find Google search the least sticky of their services, i.e. I could manage fine if forced to use Bing (probably not as good, but probably good enough), but I would really struggle if Gmail or Google photos access was axed in my region.

Does anyone know if you keep giving the vaccine to the person after it fails, its effectiveness could eventually trend up to 90+%?
JonoW · 5 years ago
Yeah not sure why this is downvoted, seems a fair question.

A 90 year old woman in a nursing home is not spreading COVID. Wouldn't it make more sense to give this to people who are most at risk of spreading it, not dying from it? Why wouldn't we go at the root cause of the pandemic; young healthy asymptomatic spreaders?
JonoW · 5 years ago
I believe the vaccine has not been showed to reduce transmission, it's been shown to reduce impact, i.e. she's less likely to die if someone visits her, so great for her, and her families, well-being.

Can someone explain to me why we have so many front-end frameworks?
JonoW · 5 years ago
There is quite a long tail of small/niche frameworks, but for most folks there aren't many major ones, really it's 3; React/Angular/Vue. There's probably another 5-10 in the next cohort, including Svelte
JonoW commented on Ad Fraud on LinkedIn   samueljscott.com/2020/09/... · Posted by u/sbachman
JonoW · 5 years ago
I'm confused, why would a fraud bot click on ads that makes LinkedIn money? Normally ad-fraud is when a fraudulent publisher is set up, made to look legit, hosts ads, which a bot then clicks the hell out of. Where's the incentive here for a bad actor on LinkedIn?
