You know very little about my life and I'd like to keep it this way. One would think that I live in a pure sellers market, but this is not true because of dynamics similar to that in the show. The comparison is clearly hyperbole eviden

Working as a software engineer I often feels like I am living in the world of the Handmaidens Tale as a women with a functioning womb where the hole of society is organised around controlling everything I do. Hopefully LLM will change this

This noob is asking about foundational knowledge not knowing that even in mathematics there is no total ordering of axioms and theorems.

Some people look at ChatGPT and think its all over and other look at it and start imagining all the things they can use it for.

The result of a query isn't a set but a multiset/bag (sets that allow for multiple instances of the same element). One popular take on this is that this "breaks" the relational algebra which is certainly true if sets are

Let me give a slightly different explanation: if you look at the capitalisation of the global market of consumer's household budget reserved for education and entertainment vs the capitalisation of the global market for company's

Yay, an anarchist calling for more regulation.

Why would you need CRDT for this traditional OT, this always turns into some weird political debate about decentralisations. The complexity has not necessarily something to do with consensus algo, where CRDT are not best in class, but what

I dislike frameworks for the same reason most of their proponents like frameworks, you can not expect to out-compete all the smart people working together on a common goal. Frameworks are bad at cultivating off-colour ideas, they tend to ha

Look at this thiefdom of tools, ZAP is the only cool thing on this list, all the other things are bean counting apps.

Deno solves all of this, too bad they don't support Solid.js.

That is when they roughly know what they want, if they don't they hire an innovation consultant and organise competitions and grands for companies and universities to come up with work.

Cool I've watched the same talk, did you use tailwind? No, well you can define your own css classes that combine multiple tailwind classes but using the same postcss syntax. Bootstrap philosophy is, writing css is too hard so we did it

Please don't judge my theoretical ideas by your low engineering standards.

I was sceptical about tailwind for a long time for precisely this reason, it does looks verbose, and that was until I used it. The tagline "design without leaving html" is true and where all the productivity comes from.

Can I suggest an improvement? Vacuum is also a great isolator and combined this with an internal hot air balloon, the inside can be made lighter by using hot air with the same pressure but lower density. The air is way less dense in the str

Maybe not interfacing directly with a LLM ala ChatGPT but as an extension of vector search using word embeddings. It offers users a much more flexible interface to explore different combinations of dimensions vs a rigid facet UI interface.

AI is a hype but still I am jumping on this horse. It is the game everyone has agreed on playing and I think I can build and sell a compelling product. Yes it is herd behaviour but don't think you'll be safer on your own.

One such "implementation language" as you call it is data-oriented programming (not to be confused with data-oriented design, which is used in game development and sort of has the same idea but different). DOP is build around the

Have you ever even tried any of the alternatives? I've scoured the landscape: Gio, egui, Iced, Xilem, imgui, Bevy UI, Qt, makerpad, all of them. Some interesting ideas and promising implementation but literally nothing even comes close

A lot of us have tried very hard to design software this way and afterwards had to admit it did not work. There is a big difference between making a web browser and a web application, the first needs specs with careful semantics but with th

The frustrating thing about this post is that it is true and in the bigger scheme of things utterly irrelevant. Yes what is presented here is more restful and it correctly stresses the importance of the client in a proper hyper media applic

I used to be that guy that everyone complained about that wasn't good at working together with others. It took me a lot of work to change my behaviour and now people don't complain anymore ever since I started working alone.

One of my crackpot ideas is a novel type of hypermedia, a bit like the semantic web but without the open world assumption. The mental model and user interface can be something like Mathematica. It should be a tool for advanced knowledge wor

Sets are probably one of the most dull objects in maths, or at least overused as the become dull. Everything is a set, a circle is the set of points with a distance r from the center c, and so on. There are a lot more interesting things to

I like is idiosyncratic take on math, it is good to know there is someone with a slightly different opinion than everyone else. His videos about multisets released in the last weeks have been super interesting. They seem like a very promisi
