Ukraine’s attacking with fewer resources and fewer men in a war of attrition. Ukraine simply cannot win in that context.
This offensive != war.
Ukrainian strategy is fucking insane to watch and Russia simply isn’t incurring the losses necessary to pull out of the conflict.
It will likely take a couple more years to see who will outlast who.
Of course Ukraine can win. But I understand why a Russian imperialist would like everybody to believe that Russia is undefeatable (even though Russia was defeated many times).
you’ve bled half of your able-bodied men to either the frontline or the border.
It’s Russia who spills Ukrainian blood, let’s be clear about that.
But seeing your post history, you’re a Russian imperialist / apologist, so I guess you know that and just twist facts intentionally…
In a post scarcity society, you walk away. Let them have your shit. You can build new shit, better shit
How do you do that if they take all your 3d printers (the technology which sustains the post-scarcity world in this novel)?
So far they didn’t complain. My manager is all praise too ;-) It’s kinda weird that I’m supposed to be the asshole for not being hateful of a technology. But you the hater are the nice guy?
The things is, I don’t diss on technologies without arguments. I’ve grown to recognize that they are tools, not a subject of passion, at least in a professional context.
Sure, but part of the claim was “without any compilation”. But bun/deno do compile TS into JS.
Lol, so angry :-D jQuery hating must be a real passion for ya.
Looking at your other comments it’s clear you are taking comments like boomers personally against your parents. You shouldn’t.
They were boomers, and boomers are all these negative stereotypes, so how not to take it personally?
You say something like “women can’t drive, but don’t take it personally if you’re a good female driver”. Honestly I can’t fathom how people can’t see that it might be wrong to negatively stereotype groups of the population by something they did not choose. We’ve grown to recognise sexism, racism etc. but apparently we’re still in the 1950s of ageism.
She’s a huge proponent of these systems being continued for the next generation.
Too bad she’s a boomer, though.
Just fluff, no real arguments, ok.
Rewrite this with “black” instead of “boomer” and see how it looks like.
Your code reads like it’s from 1992 mainly
Lol. You write a lot of text to mask the fact there’s no good reason why getElementById should be bad. It’s the same groupthink as with the jQuery, you’re told it’s bad, so you just follow the crowd.
jQuery was created as a way to account for browser support challenges
That was one of the reasons. The other was that DOM API was and still is crap. There were many such libraries to abstract away browser differences back in late 00s (Dojo, script.aculo.us, Prototype.js, MooTools), and the main reason jQuery “won” was that it provided the nicest API.
Which is why I think it’s opinionated in a bad way to arbitrarily pick one of them as the defacto.
You’re missing the fact that jQuery does not prevent you from hiding the element in other ways. It’s just optimizing for the most common case, which is one of the principles of good API.
What you’re missing is that the hidden class can contain anything you want. Animations or whatever else.
Sure, and when I just want to … hide it, without any animations? Then this hidden class is boilerplate only.
If no, they aren’t the problem and shouldn’t feel it’s directed to them.
“boomers” is a name of a generation, not of political affiliation or attitude to youngsters. People don’t choose their year of birth.
It’s not much different from e.g. gender or racial stereotyping and what you’re saying is pretty similar to “if you’re not lazy, don’t feel offended, you can think of yourself as honorary white”.
boomers have been blaming us millennials
Which boomers? All of them? I don’t think so…
They grew up with the countries best safety net and support and then proceeded to pull up the ladder after them.
Well, my parents didn’t have any such benefits (and generally had much harder life than my generation), and didn’t pull any ladder, yet they are “guilty” by the virtue of being born in the wrong years.
Doesn’t seem right to me.
And it’s only when they complain about younger people when it really comes up.
Nah, it comes up all the time on social media on its own.
Not sure what your point is, there wasn’t much trade between US and the West until about 80s. Soviets certainly could end all trade with evil capitalists, if they wanted.
Countries like Iran or North Korea even have the luxury of capitalists themselves decoupling from them.
There’s a couple of countries without capitalism, you could try to live your dream there.
Why would you not want to be using a rendering library?
Because it’s just not very useful in some contexts. I’ve seen web extensions which mostly query the current page, and it doesn’t render much or even anything.
Not all pages are SPAs either. Many apps are the old request-response with some dynamic behavior sprinkled on top. jQuery covers that well.
This model is also quite compatible with the rising HTMX where the state/rendering is driven from backend and you just insert few dynamic pieces with JS.
document.querySelector(“#element”).classList.toggle(“hidden”)
There’s no difference between document.querySelector("#element") and document.getElementById("element"), they’re both same level clunky.
Also, what you wrote is not functionally identical. $el.show() is idempotent, the el.toggle("hidden") is not (as the name suggests, it toggles a class). It also needs an extra boilerplate class.
I could see not wanting to use a rendering library if you’re building a simple site on top of basic static HTML, but that’s not a serious discussion for industry professionals
There are plenty of non-professionals doing web stuff and I think it’s great!
jQuery is such a heavy dependency for saving some characters
jQuery is 24 KiBs (minified, gzipped), that’s a good price for the egonomics it provides. If you’re constrained, there are API-compatible alternatives like cash which go down to 6KiBs.
There are multiple ways to hide an element yet they standardized on one that often wouldn’t work.
It’s the most common one. And it’s not like you can’t hide the element with some other mechanism with jQuery.
Also you’re using an ancient method getElementById…
And? What’s the difference from document.querySelector() when querying for ID?
So what is the right way to do that in modern js?
What is the right way is context dependent. I don’t see how having extra .hidden { display: none; } boilerplate is somehow modern or superior.
Wtf I can’t even…
Do I read it right that Hamas isn’t responsible for the atrocities they committed?
