   Yeah absolutely, they're doing their best with the information available to them. That's why I'm hopeful that all the recent news around persistent symptoms will improve awareness and make more resources available. It's

   My wife got covid in march. She wasn't hospitalised, but we did have to call an ambulance multiple times. She 'recovered' and was fine for about a week before developing most of these symptoms. The most infuriating part is ho

   This is the most reasonable stance imo. If my language is upsetting you, and I can change that for basically zero-cost, I will try my best to do so. I might forget, and old habits die hard, but I'll make a sincere effort. In the case w

   I agree, the first AGI probably will be bodget together with loads of expert input. However, that's not evidence against the bitter lesson. The first of anything is usually made with the help of experts, but they're quickly over

   Exactly, the ideal solution is the one they dismiss first. > Solution 1: Store the current step index Every issue they mention can be solved by assigning each step a UUID and doing proper database migrations when deleting a step so peopl

   I keep seeing people saying that the UK has given up on herd immunity as an end-goal, but I can't remember the government every saying they'd changed their plan. Do you have a link or a source for that? Having read the reports on

    TypeScript is surprisingly good at this. It's not popular as a backend language, but shows that your choices aren't limited to pure FP languages and low-level systems programming languages.

    I do use Redux Toolkit, but it really can't compare to Svelte. There are so many moving parts in a Redux app that there's only so far it can be simplified

    Having used Svelte for a couple of projects [1][2], I love it. Compared to my day job working in react/redux, it is much simpler, and feels like it has far less boilerplate. There are certainly a few rough edges, but it's all rela

    On your 2nd point, you can tell Svelte that your data is mutable, in which case it will do deep equality. However, the benefits of immutable data often mean it's worth just reassigning the variable. I also wouldn't consider that a

    This was a good article, but I want to briefly call out that `6X more likely to suffer from ADHD` is not a useful stat when trying to argue that being a founder causes health issues. ADHD is present from birth and cannot develop as the resu

    It sounds like that would have a lot of the same issues that No Man's Sky did. It's hard to make a procedurally generated world be meaningful. I don't think that problem will be solved by adding more processing power - we nee

    Have you not simply abandoned OOP at that point? A core point of OOP is that objects manage their own state, and provide an interface for accessing/mutating it. If classes are only used as data structures, and everything is done throug
