Do the example functions (isObject, isNumber, differenceDeep, randomUUID, debounce), along with the name (“SuperUtilsPlus”), and sentences saying “utility library” and “JavaScript” really not give enough context to get an idea of what this library is for?
And so if Lodash is what they’re trying to replace, is that not enough info to infer what Lodash might be?
The pharma ad comparison seems more than a little hyperbolic to me.
I’m not a huge fan of his, and maybe you’re only talking about more recent films, but Terminator and Titanic have more than “minimal cultural heft” as far as Hollywood movies go.
The problem with Terminator is that the plot was lifted (per Cameron's admission!) from an Outer Limits script; besides that, the significant visual was casting Arnold...which Dino DiLaurentiis might've done anyway.
Yeah … but that's also what makes the title clickbait — that the article itself knows that what is written isn't true. "CSS makes vertical centering easier in 2024" or just "CSS makes vertical centering easier" would have been more honest, I think.
But it’s not core functionality, it’s just a convenience.
Making it more convenient for everybody equally is an admirable goal, but should a trivial change that makes life a bit easier for many people be scrapped just because making it easier for everyone else is difficult? Specifically here where the experience doesn’t significantly regress for anyone.
(The following comment agrees with you, it is not intended as an argument against what you’re saying):
Technically being able to contain the content and actually being able to boot the game from the disc (after transferring to the console hard drive) are two separate things. Even without counting Day 1/Day 0 patches. Some games refuse to run without downloading additional content that isn’t on the disc, others require talking to a server even if you’ve just downloaded the latest updates, others. A patch to fix bugs and add content is one thing, refusing to play entirely is another.
