It's the same it's just overt (China) vs covert (the West). That you don't see it is the point.
combine that with anti China Western propaganda and it's no surprise that you can't assess accurately. Just look at the complete failure of the Australian intelligence community in their bulshit assessment of that fraudulent fake spy. The people who are supposed to be able to provide accurate assessments. Completely making fools of themselves. played by China. In front of the whole world.
Just sad. Very sad. But they're not going to learn they're just going to get defensive stay in their arrogance and blame someone else rather than reflecting how they can improve.
does anyone else feel thoughtful is some sort of strange silicon valley newspeak?
whenever I read thoughtful these days it feels like a bland euphemism that covers and conveys something more specific than the not specificity it suggests, possibly even a little dangerous.
actually there's a word for terms like this: dog whistle.
would any silicon valley insiders break ranks and reveal to the world what thoughtful actually conveys?
A proliferation of performance assessment tools could be an indication of relatively poor performance.
I guess you can say the more performant systems have performance built in, you don't have to engineer and tweak it as an add-on, because they already are.
Thanks for reminding people, really. But I guess I don't get the sympathy for abusive comments against my work unless I'm part of some mainstream group. Which just proves that it's not the so-called morality of commenters is not really based on morality but just confirmation bias / groupthink and preserving those group mass delusions. Anyway, I appreciate you reiterating this earlier point I made.
I think it's interesting how important "group identity" is here. If I attack a group of people "React faddites" as I did here, everyone loses their minds. But if someone attacks my work, everyone's cool with it. People are more keen to defend the group than the individual. Interesting. It's not really about morality, but everyone wants to clothe it in that...I wonder why the group identity is so important? I tend to think it's compensation for / a substitute for actual merit. We know React is not great, so we have to double down on the community of idiots parroting the official line that it is great.
It's funny to me. I can have my opinion about the tools I wanna work with. But if they don't coincide with the mainstream tools, clearly I am "wrong" and just "don't understand". But if I criticise the mainstream tool users as being the ones who don't understand, again, I'm "wrong" and "don't understand". That sort of echo-chamber, self-protective / non-introspective fear of criticism and double standards is not a great thing, and probably another reason why React is so weak. If it was really strong, it could be robust against robust criticism? But it doesn't show a lot of confidence for a massive group of self-confessed React acolytes to go bats when someone dares question them. It shows someone has stepped on a point they know fear might be true. I mean, for a whole group of people who devote so much energy to use this thing, I understand why they'd be angry if it was true and someone pointed it out, but it's funny to me how the group can be insecure about its choice, and have chosen badly, even when so many people have thought about it and are invested in it. Madness of crowds, I guess. Popularity is no guarantee of quality.
That's a bit mean, don't you think? See I was addressing a group of people but you're directly saying that to me.
Hmmm, well, why don't you take your own advice pal and ask me why I think so? Oh, that's right, I guess you were just trying to insult people rather than understand. Hahahaa.
But anyway, I am thoroughly enjoying your attempt at self-righteousness. Keep working on that, you've nearly got it.
And I'm very grateful to you for proving my point. You may be old, but are you sure I don't understand people and you do? I don't think "bad faith" means what you think it means, but I take it by the vehemence of your response that I struck a nerve. And I think you might just be projecting. See, I think you're angry because you must use React, and me reminding you other choices exist, which you nevertheless cannot access, reminds you of that embarrassing lack of freedom. So you choose to double down on defending something you don't really want anyway. But I guess you don't really understand how you feel about it, so you just project and blame somebody else.
If you didn't like React, would you ever say no to an offer that insisted on it? See, I don't think you would. But I have. I wanna work with what I like.
I think if you really loved it and knew why you wouldn't be so perturbed. I'm just curious, why no submissions? Why anonymous? Would you talk so big, if everyone knew your name? Or are you only a loud mouth if you've got no skin in the game, really? Anyway, have a good day thinkin about that, pal and if you wanna know more please read my answer for "debuzzybee" and my comment she linked.
The illogical adoption of React must not be questioned, even in the face of its poor performance and ugly syntax. One must never note that perhaps it is simply a cultish adoration, or faddish adherence to popular mass opinions, that leads to "popularity" mattering more than practicality.
So what if React is massively bloated, stupid syntax, can't use regular HTML, can't use regular CSS, can't use async/await, have to do everything a special way...literally, SO WHAT. It IS REACT! OMG behold it's glory. It came from FB, maybe if we use it we can scale like FB!
Omg the idiocy. But keep on slavishly following the next front-end dev trend. I can't tell whether front-end dev culture is a massive circle-jerk or cargo cult. And don't mention the irrational hate attempted to be heaped onto anyone who dares question the programmatic thinking of the official line of the React Appreciation Society.
And all the techies are acting surprised. Parading their "liberal" arm patches like they had nothing to do with it. How could this possibly have happened? It couldn't be our fault. Let's deny it's a problem. Or let's blame normies, or entropy, emergent systems properties, government. Or corporations. Better yet, let's blame China!
But who built this stuff? Who's responsible for the direction of the industry if not for the "democratic" actions of a majority of workers to do or not do particular work?
You could have said no. You still can.
Makes me think y'all like it better this way. So quit yer pretense of complainin. And enjoy those ad dollars and safer streets!
Nope, dude/tte, thanks for proving MY points so succinctly. You rush to dismiss and trivialize any comment that disagrees with your ignorance, by pretending it must be somehow not credible because it's "paid Chinese government content". BTW, that sounds quite paranoid. Perhaps time to see a psychiatrist, hmm? Let me ask you, are the Chinese agents in the room with you, right now?
Anyway, it's clear you are NOT listening to as-you-are-unqualified-to-judge "genuine" Chinese people. But keep pretending you are, just for kicks, for us all, thanks!
Anyway, anyway, please please please get away from the useless, pathetic and afraid ad hominem and consider the arguments. Can you realistically support the actions of violent criminals trashing property and beating up dissenters, but disguising their actions as "standing with" so-called freedom and democracy?
Sure, I get it's easier to pretend and focus on the make-believe fantasy that everyone who doesn't agree with you must be a Chinese agent, but, what if the truth is they ARE all Chinese agents, but they're right anyway, whatcha gonna do then, huh, pal?
Because we should support violent offenders just because now, because they're "against China" now, even if they're ignorant, illegal and misinformed? Who's using who with your support for this?
Translation: "Let me dismiss and trivialize that which I'm too scared to admit might be true." Good luck keeping on pretending the opinions of a large chunk of the world don't exist, don't make sense or don't matter.
Or maybe it's you who needs to expand your mind, show a bit of empathy and try to understand the other side?
Sure, I guess it's easier to pretend the other side doesn't really exist, than to come to understand it. Keep arrogant and ignorant at your own peril. But I guess it's easier to close your mind and feel better by pretending it's wrong, than to try to know the rest of the world?
So....it's totally okay when radical 'leftists' in the West force censorship or boycotts or content removal under fake-tolerant progressive dogma. But if you need to respect the wishes of another country, it's not okay?
Maybe you're all just too scared to question your own leftists but totally okay criticizing another country that seems so far away to you?
Because wouldn't worst thing to be labelled not an "ally" or anti-progressive? Seems it's not your position is based on absolute morality but rather a fear of being "lynched by the progressive mob of SJW keyboard warriors" hmm? But you all pretend it's morality to feel better? And all the better if you can hate on some other country to really up the self-righteous sense that your morality must somehow be rock solid and not double standard at all, hmm?
