I agree, western media seems more (self-?)controlled than social media. But this post is specifically about social media.

That is observable untrue. Social media thrives because of the lack of consent in the population. Social media amplifies dissent. That is why many people find these places so toxic.

Not a live preview and not a button-counter demo at the end, but the overall structure and the whole O(n) vs O(n^2) argumentation was in this blog post from a now defunct domain. Maybe this is what you were looking for: https://w

Let’s see about the exponential part. Too early to judge. Some signs that the current capabilities are actually stagnating and progress is slowing down. The problem of determining when an LLM is wrong is fundamental and might be a show-stop

Browser support to print HTML sucked. No page counter / max pages, no way to properly style headers and footers. Chrome 131 recently added CSS support for @page [1][2] and cross-references in the same doc (giving you the page number),

Perfect candidate for a nice, simple, self-contained web component / custom element. Instead of: <div id="json-tree"></div> ... const container = document.getElementById('json-tree');

It shows clearly that Flutter for web is hot garbage. It is flaky (Safari on iOS 18, iPhone 15 Pro Max), it doesn’t let me select text or copy-paste anything. Rendering the UI in a Canvas works only for niche apps.

I've been programming for 20 years and mostly JS for the last 10 years. Right now, I'm learning Go. I wrote a simple CLI tool to get data from several servers. Asked GPT-4o to generate some code, which worked fine at first. Then I

What do you mean? Rails seems to come with authentication, session management, cookie management, an ORM, extensive logging capabilities and a bunch of other things. Go and Kotlin are languages, not frameworks, and they certainly don't

What do you gain by talking about absolute numbers? They are meaningless. By this logic, Musk could pay only $1 million in tax and still would've "contributed more to the country" than most individuals. If you talk about taxe

Please stop counting taxes of super-rich in absolute terms. It simply doesn't matter. We need percentage-based taxes to get the real picture. Because those numbers seems a rounding error given their wealth.

My theory is that consuming sugar makes you more hungry. You can eat until you're full, but if you eat desert or a sugary snack a little later, it makes you feel less full and you can eat more. As if your brain notices the sugar source

A good rule of thumb is: if your app can/could run offline-first like a desktop app, it's ok to make it a single-page application. They can be snappier and better than a multi-page browser app. Examples would be stuff like Photope

Kudos on realizing this after only 8 months. The blog post is spot on. The snarky tweet about chad b2b dev is basically true, except it doesn't have to be B2B. B2C works, too. Just stay clear of the mother of all grifts: telling othe
