@f0x Yeah, there seems to be a whole experimental streaming API now, even, that should presumably be bring-your-own-source in the future, didn't look too closely into how it works though
Looks like they basically rewrote the whole event handling system to make Suspense work
neurodivergent advice request, neurotypicals please don't reply
@Byte (But only *after* getting it done - *while* working on it, I do my best to remove any pressure and any sense that I "have" to get it done, because that'd interfere with reframing it as a leisurely break)
neurodivergent advice request, neurotypicals please don't reply
@Byte Oh and I mentally frame the "getting boring stuff done" as an achievement, "finally I'm getting through it, see, I *can* do this", to get the gratification sense
neurodivergent advice request, neurotypicals please don't reply
@Byte I've had some success with treating those things as a type of 'break', where I turn off my brain from more exciting things for a bit and do something calm and boring, when I'm feeling overstimulated by other stuff. But of course that assumes that you can schedule the boring stuff at will. And it requires some creative rearranging in my brain of what qualifies as 'work' vs. 'leisure' to make all the brain opinions about the boring stuff line up.
@silvermoon82@tech.lgbt It's just so, so bad. The React build system alone entails more complexity than most JS libraries do in the libraries themselves, and it can be a true challenge to get reproducible builds (actually OOTB it generates builds with the wrong version number). It's completely absurd.
- Please stop publishing your library as minified bundles, I beg of you
Reading the React codebase and, some observations:
- The code quality is pretty okay
- *Fuck* the build system
- Most of this logic should be in reusable stand-alone packages, not in core React
- Why is there a Facebook compatibility mode embedded into the codebase

(And it will probably come as a surprise to nobody on here that an anarchist view of the matter presents a concrete solution to every single one of these problems)

"Firefox’s AddOn Operations Manager said: “For malicious addons, we feel that for Firefox it has been manageable...since they are mostly interested in grabbing data, they can still do that with the current webRequest API.” ...when a malicious extension sneaks through the security review process... the malicious activity happens elsewhere. A more thorough review process could improve security, but Chrome hasn’t said they’ll do that. Instead, they want to restrict capabilities for all extensions."
You have to hack around some weirdness in a framework you're using? That's a power dynamics problem.
You have to spend a month on a dependency upgrade? That's a power dynamics problem.
You have to constantly deal with poorly-written code that's completely lacking in documentation? That's a power dynamics problem.
Your project is rapidly expanding in scope beyond what you could reasonably maintain with your team? That's a power dynamics problem.
It is a fucking disgrace how the "don't bring politics into tech" folks have completely sabotaged the ability for software developers to understand the root causes of these problems and how to solve them
Seriously, the "don't bring politics into tech" people have done *so much* more damage to the field than they realize
It's truly frustrating how many software developers don't realize how much they're missing, even just from an individual practical perspective, by not understanding power dynamics on a conceptual level

@amberage@eldritch.cafe @maia Wonder how this relates to the thing where ADHD seems to be responsible for my muscles being permanently tense and "pitted against each other", leading to both constant pain and uncharacteristically strong muscles
