I was redesigning a website of mine and Claude suggested to add this as an animation. My theory is that, if claude is confident in a suggestion, a lot of other people have done the same.
The scroll fade on that site is comparatively inoffensive (comparatively), because you messed with scrolling itself, which is one of the worst things you can do, taking over and ruining inertia. You’re literally going out of your way to make things worse. The ONLY time scrolljacking of any kind is acceptable is for things like maps where there is no “normal”.
Hijacking native scroll behavior to badly reimplement anything remotely like scrolling is wrong even in a gaming context. But if you're implementing Half Life 2 in a browser, where the user no longer has a normal cursor, then hijacking scrolling to implement the weapon switcher is fine.
I'm in a similar boat and have to give up cheese since it's part of the chain. It's a bummer, I'm pretty addicted to it, and plant-based cheese is just nothing compared to a good young cheese
I tell myself that in the long-term the pros outweigh the con, if you value being on the right side of morality
My wife developed lactose and gluten intolerance both right around the same time. Dealing with gluten free alternatives has been annoying, but manageable. Milks and butters I can easily sub in recipes to good results. I no longer use dairy butter or milk in any of my cooking. The vegan cheese stuff has been so gross that she's basically dropped it altogether. The texture and taste are so wrong and they basically don't melt. I'm sure it'll be "solved" eventually but a cheeseless pizza is better than a pizza with vegan cheese at this point in time.
I'd rather define my db domain in-code so I do not have to worry about writing the queries without type hinting.
Raw sql -> eh, I don't have the patience
Raw sql w type hints -> better, I at least get a compilation error when I do something wrong, and preferably a suggestion
ORM -> this usually introduces it's own abstraction that needs it's own maintenance, but at least it's more code-oriented.
Yes, SQL is an awesome solution to querying DB's, hence I prefer option 2
Well yeah, of course. Sorry, when I said "DB" what I should have said was "data-layer," and this can include: repositories, ORM models, query-builders, etc. All of these are type-hinted "db domain in-code" and, still, not one coupled to your API.
I'm in a company that does no reviews and I'm medior. The tools we make is not interesting at all, so it's probably the best position I could ask for. I occasionally have time to explore some improvements, tools and side projects (don't tell my boss about that last one)
? This has been done before, plus apps like Harmonic support Best by X hrs. Do people love re-inventing the wheel before googling "drive car from A to B"?
Missed opportunity to reference the famous Dropbox hn comment.
I just think there are other closely related use cases where a separate program can add more value, especially in the terminal. I wouldn't suggest most people should use ffmpeg instead of a gui, those are too dissimilar. Another example is cutting out a part of a video, with ffmpeg you need to make two temporary videos and then concatenate them, that process would greatly benefit from a better ux.
Point of order: the Dropbox HN comment is famously misconstrued. People think it was about Dropbox; it was about the Dropbox YC application, and was both well-intentioned and constructive.
I love the idea of polybet but would never invest into it. Gonna check this out
