That is what I thought, but that doesn't make sense for a language without pointers According to the other comment it seems he meant the |> pipe operator that is under proposal in js

Governments can keep companies working for as long as they want. Usually that makes them less competitive over time though and it is all done at the cost of the tax-payer and adjacent industries. The Chaebol model of Korea is a way to spin

How do you bypass cloudflare? I do some light scrapping for some personal stuff, but I can't figure out how to bypass it. Like do you randomize IPs using several VPNs at the same time? I usually just sit there on my phone pressing the

I don't understand why companies doing hardware do this, surely it is much more expensive to design so many different devices? It dilutes the brand and makes the supply chain more complicated. Like how much extra market capture really

I did some exploratory analysis on sqlc some time ago and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to parametrize which column to sort-by and group-by in queries. It is quite neat, but I don't think it actually replaces a prop

Microservice achitecture promotes splitting data cross multiple databases making it impossible to do proper DB JOINs from application code. Then companies buy a solution to aggregate all the different databases in a single "data-lake&q

She does hate it everywhere else though and I find google search ads are not nearly as bad when you are actively looking for a specific product. But yeah I tend to agree with you, the companies/products paying for the ads are not neces

My partner got upset when I added a pihole to our network because she wouldn't see ads in google search. She said most of the time she doesn't mind the pihole but when she is actively looking for things to buy she wants the ads. W

My mom has been getting some supplement ads and asking me to buy them (she can't do online shopping, too computer illiterate). Man just yesterday she wanted to buy a supplement that was basically a redbull in pill form...

I actually use a full blown desktop computer as media center specifically because it can run adblock (and games). I got one of those "fly-mouses" (like a wii-remote pointer to control the mouse cursor), works really well and it is

I has gotten better security-wise at least, malicious ads can't infect your OS anymore just by being loaded. The browser sandbox is much more secure these days.

We added biome to our project, now we have eslint, prettier and biome in the project. Seriously though it is nice, but migrating away from your existing tooling is painful and underappreciated.

I used to use CGO quite a lot in linux-embedded environment. And we had huge dependency chains as well to non-standard library stuff, nowhere near as bad as an average nodejs project but still not free from the problem.

It is a shame that so many companies try to scale by just hiring a lot of people, the more people you have in a single project the more overengineering you will end up with. Some of it is consequence of managing so many individual contribut

Only places that are making good money can afford to have overengineering. Overengineering is more prevalent the more money a company makes and companies who overengineers will pay good money to keep the overengineering working.

not super familiar with Rust but isn't Option<T> just an union type of null and T? I get the language has special semantics for this compared to a union type but it is conceptionally just an union. For example this is something y

This is what people mean when they say "make invalid states unrepresentable", languages with union types can easily avoid this problem.

All the other things he mentioned didn't rely on breakthroughs, LLMs really do seem to have reached a plateau and need a breakthrough to push along to the next step. Thing is breakthroughs are always X years away (50 for fusion power f

This is the first time I ever hear of temporary "retention bonuses" in big Cos to avoid poaching. So I guess the hype was worse back them because I don't think anyone is getting them now haha.

The computing power alone of all these gpus would bring a revolution in simulation software. I mean 0 AI/machine-learning, just being able to simulate much more things than we can. Most industry-specific simulation software is REALLY c

There used to be a basic HTML version of gmail but it seems it just redirects you to normal gmail now. No one in their right mind who does a lot of emailing would use it compared to the normal one besides for ideological reasons.

You are 100% right, we have messy incompatible systems because there is no standardization. It is arguable that standardization of something that is so subjective is always going to be problematic. Design patterns are invented all the time

Probably because they are actually pretty good at that task. A lot of diagnosis process is pattern matching symptoms/patient-history to disease/condition and those to drug/treatment. Of course LLMs can always fail catastrophi

I was too young at the time, but people who were there at internet companies in the 2000s what was it like? Did people think the same way as today where there is too money going in and not enough value coming out? Was it obvious to insiders

I mean it more points me about stuff I don't know that I don't know. For example, I use it quite a lot when setting up new terraform configuration on resources I am not super familiar with, it often points me out to resources and

I mostly used it for exploratory analysis of tools/libraries I am not familiar with, where it points me the parts of the API docs I need to lookup to verify the output. Then I manually adapt or rewrite it. So in the end I use it fairly
