I suspect a lot of people who might otherwise go to F# are using ReScript for React.

A mac mini is pretty beefy for hosting a blog! I’ve had a number of database-driven sites hosted on $5/month VPS that have been on the front page here with minimal cpu or memory load.

Seconded. I’m very excited for the day when/if their dev platform is opened up and it’s possible to access pass-through vision. There’s a whole class of educational apps that could open up for people learning in the physical world. Whe

You can't know that. I had memories as a toddler that I confirmed after meeting my mother for the first time in decades a couple of years ago. Specific things about where I lived, events that had happened and how someone else in our fa

For a canvas-based app, which to be fair none of my professional work has been, you’d need to write some JS or hooks to interface with external JS libraries. Can you give me an example of when you would need a LiveView app to spawn a threa

Agreed. It's just decreasing the friction, which increases the velocity.

I'm a fan of some of Twitter's newer developments like community notes, private groups, and spaces. Quote posts are a feature I'd think long and hard about copying, though. At least in my subjective experience, they made the

Tim Ferris and Chris Sacca have both been fantastically successful as investors, but I wouldn't recommend going to them for insights about software or especially AI.

I don't think it's a Taiwanese developer. If so, he got a lot of stroke orders wrong for traditional characters as per the MOE standards. Anytime I need to look up a character or word, I go to https://www.moedict.tw&#x2

I had yet another experience. Before Chrome existed, I learned thousands of words by hearing them before I could read them. A lot of the pain I see in foreigners learning Chinese is that they try to tackle the written language too early. Ac

And yet, as a kid, I was able to go to Sakura Square in Denver on weekends and see several blocks where everything was Japanese, including a mini mall, a grocery store, book stores, music stores, etc. It's been there for generations an

How would that work? Tesla is a different company with different ownership. It would be a pretty gross violation of those owners’ property rights to seize their assets simply because of a vendetta against the CEO for actions of a completely

Sure, plenty of Americans will downvote your bad ideas on HN, but you won’t generally find them discussing how bad they think xyz thing in Europe on a weekly basis. If they mention Europe at all, it will probably be in the context of a vaca

That’s silly. When I was growing up, we always had a garage and my family was ~25% under the median income. Hundreds of millions of Americans have a garage at home and it’s not the richest 2/3 of the country. It’s basically the people

Some repetition is good and children in fact often repeatedly read their favorite book or watch their favorite show. However, a key thing to keep in mind with Paul Nation's study is that "repetitions" of a word represented en

Both share of global investments denominated in dollars and the US share of world GDP have increased in the past 25 years. A vibrant tech ecosystem is a large part of the reason for both.

Have you ever gotten to a C1 level in a language you learned as an adult that isn't close to your native language? If so, what kind of effort did it take you? Or if you only learned closely related languages, what aspect of it was &quo

I agree with you for language learners. I built and ran the academic side of a language school for four years, worked on two language learning startups and also learned two languages in different language families from my native language (a

Being typed would make it harder, not easier for a JS dev. Syntax is a very surface-level difference and is basically a rounding error in cases like this after the very initial stages. If I were to try to make the argument for you, I'd

It depends a lot on the way you write JavaScript. If you work with React, like FP and make everything you can immutable, you’ll probably find it easy. If you write JavaScript like it’s Java and really lean into OO, then Elixir will be more
