100%. There is even a very strong national security argument for the US Government allowing Apple this level of control over the hardware that ~200 million Americans carry.

I'm generally very anti-Apple when it comes to their draconian control over the code I'm allowed to execute on hardware I've purchased. However, I'm going to devil's advocate this situation for a minute (and I do me

What I want is simple: For change to actually happen. You don't need to convince me; your choice is either to convince 100M+ unreasonable people, or make a reasonable path. Direct to consumer billing is that reasonable path; that&#x2

Where I live, we have three major hospital chains. Imagine one of them is Kaiser Permanente. My primary care is through Kaiser. When I needed to see a podiatrist to get a toenail removed, they were through Kaiser. When I went to an ER a few

You're certainly correct that they couldn't, though I don't feel stating "this is why all the interesting developments will be happening inside AI labs" is a fair review of the AI 2027 paper, as it makes many wide

Those games had performance issues, but calling them "disasters" is disingenuous to the truth of the situation. Did you play Expedition 33? That was UE5 too. The primate brain loves pattern-matching, so your primate brain has patt

The bias that these kinds of analysis always have is: We'll never truly know what the world would have looked like if the merger wasn't allowed to happen. Like, it's easy and correct to say "the ABK acquisition resulted

Be real: Proton is very good, but it is not indistinguishable.

IMO: it's a complicated situation. Activision-Blizzard-King has been in a pretty icky spot for many years now, dating back further than just the MSFT acquisition. I'd put the probabilities at like 90%+ that we'd see headlines

Sure, if the biases are actually irrational, but in this case the biases are things like "idk maybe we should follow the scientific method", while Loeb pushes "here's an idea that is unfalsifiable and untestable, but loo

Well, you know what they say; don't be so open-minded that your brain falls out.

I hate to be crass about this, but to be frank: This is a temporary problem that the world will solve for Apple. Modes which help accommodate age, degrading motor and visual function, etc, are awesome; and Apple truly leads the pack on this

The biggest part missing from the opposing side is: Their view is very much rooted in the pre-Cloud hardware infrastructure world, where you'd pay sysadmins a full salary to sit in a dark room to monitor these servers. The reality nowa

I've used the word "coherence" to describe this state; when an individual or a team has adequately groked the system and its historical context to achieve a level of productivity in maintenance and extension, only then is the

Yeah, tbh I used to be a bit agentic coding tool-pilled, but over the past four months I've come to realize that if this industry evolves in a direction where I don't actually get to write code anymore, I'm just going to quit

Yeah; it would have had the added benefit of generating more revenue for the government via increased income taxes ($100k * income tax rate over N years versus $100k only once). But I think the reality about the H1-B program no one wants to

To clarify one small point: You have to be a US Citizen to be an Air Traffic Controller. But, I understand your broader point. Before raising the fee to $100,000 this week, the "official" fees one would pay to apply for an H1-B we

by 827a 1y ago
Its a fair point, but this $100,000 fee should not have been the flashpoint causing half the United States to care about this issue, and it being the flashpoint has got us arguing for the wrong thing. Immigrant doctors should have their own

We issue 85,000 H1-B visas every year. Last year, there were 442,000 applications. Its supply and demand. If you think any of these changes will cause fewer than 85,000 H1-B applications, then that is a good reason to believe that these cha

But: Using the Tailwind standalone CLI is a build step. Which means you're no longer no-build.

Wow. I've seen less corpowashed decision making out of Microsoft. They set their house on fire, its burning down, but spraying water on it would get the curtains wet so we can't do that.

Its especially wild given how their action in pulling funding seems to have been a prime motivator for this power grab: in their attempt to boycott DHH, they quite literally handed him the keys to the kingdom.

Many if not all of these companies are, to my knowledge, companies like Github which might still have some legacy parts of their system running Ruby, but aren't building significant new code in Ruby; and if they do have Ruby, are tryin

Status quo administrators had their access revoked without their consent and without cause. That's malice.

Ruby's status of having, like, two companies that are big and known to use Ruby (Shopify and 37Signals) is the reason why this was allowed to happen (three if you include Github, but my understanding is that its used less-and-less ther
