Even from the POV of micro-frameworks, the JS ecosystem sucks. There's just so many competing half-baked libraries doing the same thing slightly differently and incompatible ways. Compare this to the Ruby ecosystem, where every framewo

And I think rejecting the monolith is a massive mistake for the average CRUD app. And it’s not like I’m not familiar with JS/Node, it’s the ecosystem I’ve spent the most time over the last 15 years. I’ve just seen so much wasted engine

I haven’t really found this to be true. You probably wouldn’t want to build Figma in Rails, but the average SaaS CRUD app is a perfect fit for Rails with a sprinkling of Turbo Frames. It’s usually the lack of non-React knowledge to know wha

I sorely miss the sheer amount of utility that you can get from Rails out of the box for free compared to anything in the JS universe. Most JS devs don’t have the faintest idea how much they’re missing out on. Then again reinventing wheels

I’ve definitely seen way too much code like the examples above. Another side effect to this is it tends to leak all over and can result in exponentially more code. What would’ve been a 2-line change at the API boundary, becomes ten lines of

This is 100% on the manufacturer if they intentionally chose to highlight the "best case" 150V, rather than the 120V lower end. Especially without any additional safety mechanisms.

To be fair, AppKit is buggy/undocumented enough that you need to muck with the internals even for trivial things.

Wow, so not only have they lost the war against SEO spammers, they've now decided to completely obscure which results are actually ads. What an embarrassment Google has become, but I guess that sweet-sweet ad money trumps everything el

I’d say closest would maybe be early internet style niche forums or other closed (torrenting?) communities where your reputation is somewhat correlated with your contributions.

It’s safe to assume without extraordinary evidence that anything posted on LinkedIn is at best glorified reality, but most likely complete fabrication. There’s zero incentive for anybody to be truthful.

Reviewing code is basically applying the Chesterton’s fence principle to everything. With AI code there’s typically so much incidental noise that trying to identify intention is a challenge. But then again I’ve found a lot of people are not

But there are 2 separate controlling entities in this scenario. The hypothetical company that wants to issue the stablecoin and Bridge. They have complete and full control over the money anyway, blockchain or not.

Everything you're describing makes sense in terms of legal requirements, but none of it seems to require any form of cryptocurrency or stablecoins.

I disagree completely. You’re already paying the cost of abstraction for using a certain database or protocol, so get the most bang for your buck. If you can encode rules in a schema or a type, it’s basically free, compared to having to enf

Just to be clear, Tether and Circle also have complete control over their respective stablecoins if they so choose. They have the exact same power to reverse, freeze and block any transaction or balance just as PayPal and Venmo do.

I don’t see that happening, mostly because it wouldn’t benefit Trump in any way. He’s already free to (crypto) grift as much as he wants, he doesn’t need looser AML laws. Probably going to go the way of the strategic BTC reserve.

Once you take into account AML and KYC laws, which will obviously be enforced should this gain any sort of adoption. What will be different in practice?

If already know Django, go with Django and sprinkle in some HTMX as necessary. You’ll get 95% of the benefits with a fraction of the effort compared to a modern Javascript SPA. And it’ll be a breeze to maintain. You’ll also save so much tim

You’re right! They’re all using the same API, there’s no other better “opt-in” API. Some developers just want to make the UX worse for their own nefarious purposes. Nothing to do with Apple.
