Do you know how you make good web apps with good performance? You don't listen to people whining and bitching about a language, you go out and start coding something and find out where the actual issues are.

Javascript / Typescript is great. There are little annoyances here and there, like with literally every single language, but anyone who says it sucks overall is a quite frankly, a moron.

Our project focuses on advanced and experienced computer users. In contrast with the usual proprietary software world or many mainstream open source projects that focus more on average and non-technical end users, we think that experienced users are mostly ignored. This is particularly true for user interfaces, such as graphical environments on desktop computers, on mobile devices, and in so-called Web applications. We believe that the market of experienced users is growing continuously, with each user looking for more appropriate solutions for his/her work style.

Designing simple and elegant software is far more difficult than letting ad-hoc or over-ambitious features obscure the code over time. However one has to pay this price to achieve reliability and maintainability. Furthermore, minimalism results in reasonable and attainable goals. We strive to maintain minimalism and clarity to drive development to completion.

You now what all of this says? It says that they focus on building utilities that accomplish some small technical task and ignore their users' actual workflow needs. It's the equivalent of minimalist architects that make unlivable spaces because they're technically nice.

I don't actually know if it helps at all. Vinegar on its own also seems to work.

It doesn't need to be the driver to be a necessary component or catalyst.

The full quote:

“I will simply say, I made every effort to include George in the adaptation process. I really did. Over years and years. And we really enjoyed a mutually fruitful, I thought, really strong collaboration for a long time. But at some point, as we got deeper down the road, he just became unwilling to acknowledge the practical issues at hand in a reasonable way. And I think as a showrunner, I have to keep my practical producer hat on and my creative writer, lover-of-the-material hat on at the same time.”

Quite frankly after what Dan and Dave to ruin Game of Thrones reputation, this honestly isn't surprising whatsoever.

They cut out a character to save money and air time, and George thinks that will make the plot fall apart later.

Regardless of who's right, he's probably not going to trust a showrunner who's trying to rush things given past trauma.

That just means that the US dominates and exploits people, it doesn't mean that market economies inherently lead to that. China implemented market economies within its centrally planned system for a reason.

This is literally what I've done my whole life. I have never identified as a leftist, always as a centrist, it's not my fault other people don't understand where the center is.

You say "marketing person" or "marketing quote" as if that means nothing - reporting factual information from them is standard practice in all news. Maybe there should be literally nothing posted by any news website in the world then?

Bruh, do all the news sources you read just repost marketing statements? I don't think you realize what an own-goal that statement is.

Journalism involves reporting on true information, including determining whether or not information is true, or likely to be true, it's not just reposting corporate fluff.

In fact, why even post reviews? Obviously nobody wants marketing fluff like "phone has 12GB RAM", those damn capitalist corporations are faking that too, there's only one person in this world who's woke enough to understand that. These idiots should realise that [phone 2025] is obviously going to be better than [phone 2024]. Maybe those scrubs should realise that before writing a sham of an article.

Here's a fun fact for you: there's a fundamental difference between reposting a claim someone else made, and evaluating and testing something and making your own claim about it.

Fair enough, this is what my parents did in high school, I just kind of feel like you shouldn't have to appease people like that so I'm torn.

For me in high school, in one situation we had already been sleeping over at her house with her mom's full knowledge, so by the time we asked my parents to sleep at my house, they talked to her mom and it was pretty brief and easy.

In the other, her parents wouldn't let us be in a room alone together, so when we asked my parents about sleeping over and they said they would have to call, we stopped them, said forget about it, and just had a lot more day-time, risky, might-get-walked-in-on sex.

In neither situation did the call seem particularly productive towards anyone's goals, but on the other hand, my parents never had drama with other parents so maybe I just need to think on that more.

This feels somewhat toxicly parental rights to me.

When I was in high school I had a friend who ran away from an abusive home and ended up living with another friend.

The parent is not always right, so I have a hard time accepting that you should always side with the parent if they're under 18.

Oh I actually missed the part where he already said her parents are cool with it, in that case I would trust my son and not call her parents.

Fair point, I misspoke / don't actually think that it's wild, I was being dramatic.

Have you tried using VSCode / VSCodium? I've tried using a VIM based workflow and found myself missing many graphical dev features in VSCode.

And sure, there's nothing wild about continuing to use a process that works for you, but it is a little wild to insist that your process is the best and other people should learn it, if you also know that it has inherent limitations that alternatives don't.
