Ewwwww. Lately in two separate business environments I'm finding large, complicated codebases written entirely in JavaScript....
The worst one uses Electron. You know, basically a Chromium instance rendering your shitty pages as a faux GUI?

Look, JavaScript isn't a bad language for what it was designed for, but pulling in a separate chrome process for every one of your lazily written apps is a horrible idea and wastes a ton of resources.

JavaScript was never meant to be used the way Node.JS is letting it be used! It's not meant as a standalone language, it's meant for some shitty scripting abilities in your web browser.

If you want to make an easy desktop GUI app in a high level language, just use Qt and Python or Perl or something, as those are usually actually easier than JS anyways...

Idk, is anyone else here horrified at how they're developing these apps nowadays?

Another disappointing Grammie Awards show last nite. Nothing for @taylorswift13. And that's O.K. She's good but she's not all that. People like her a little less since she came out against Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Marsha took the Embrace. So now she's a Senator -- great job, Marsha!!

And unfortunately, nothing for my brother Yeesus. Otherwise known as Kanye. He's not my brother. But, he's like a brother that isn't an alcoholic. He was up for Producer of the Year, Non Classical. For the Wyoming Sessions -- Daytona by Pusha T and everything else.

And his incredible song Freeee was up for Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. But, nothing. ZERO. This one was rigged, folks!! youtu.be/5bZqAfJBsSk

Reducing drug costs feature prominently in Trump's State of the Union Address.

However, his much-touted NAFTA re-write would grant an additional ten years of patent protection to pharmaceutical patents. That means generic medications will take ten more years to come to market and allows pharmaceutical companies to charge monopoly prices for ten years longer.

That will not result in cheaper medications.

Oscars 2019 ceremony to go without host after Kevin Hart row

This year's Oscars will be held without an official host - for the first time in 30 years. The head of ABC Entertainment, which airs the Academy Awards ceremony, said it would instead highlight celebrities presenting the trophies.

Reports had suggested the broadcaster was struggling to fill the role - one of the toughest in US show business.

In December, comedian Kevin Hart pulled out of hosting the ceremony following a controversy over old homophobic tweets. He said he did not want to be a distraction and that he was "sorry he had hurt people".

Bud Light gets earful from angry corn lobby after Super Bowl ad

Bud Light’s Super Bowl campaign is calling out competitors that use corn syrup — and the corn lobby is not happy about it.

In Anheuser-Busch InBev’s ads, a medieval crew delivers a cask of unwanted corn syrup to Miller Lite and Coors Light. Bud Light is using the “brewed with no corn syrup” on its ads for the night.

Following the spots, the National Corn Growers Association tweeted at Bud Light that “America’s corn farmers are disappointed in you. Our office is right down the road! We would love to discuss with you the many benefits of corn! Thanks @MillerLight and @CoorsLite for supporting our industry.”

Pope Francis Acknowledges, For First Time, Sexual Abuse Of Nuns By Priests

Pope Francis, for the first time, acknowledged the sexual abuse of nuns by priests and bishops, including a case in which some clergy used women as sex slaves. He said on Tuesday that he is committed to ending the problem in the Roman Catholic Church.

His comments came in response to a reporter's question on his flight returning to Rome from Abu Dhabi. The reporter asked the pope about a Vatican magazine article published last week detailing reports of sexual abuse by clerics resulting in nuns having abortions or giving birth to children fathered by priests.

It's a habit.

The odds of Nancy Pelosi becoming President of the United States seem to be increasing every day.
