It's the money side that applies pressure there. It's great that you're able to make enough money but a lot of people who aspire to the quiet academic life are stuck in the lower tiers making a pittance.

Maybe I’m alone in thinking this but I think the long term victor will be the one that works out pricing best. Fable might well be a better model but it’s too expensive for everyday AI use. Definitely if we’re talking about the kind of st

A majority that does what exactly, though? Manchin was against Build Back Better, expanding voting rights legislation and codifying abortion rights. Yes, he was better than a Republican. But he was a big reason why Democrats are seen as the

It’s an interesting era to be alive in, where the rich and powerful (Trump, Musk) just assert things evidence free and then a whole community rolls in to come up with a post-facto rationalisation. Musk hasn’t thought about any of this. He j

The desert is still under someone’s jurisdiction. Perhaps the best on-planet comparison is creating a man made island in the middle of the ocean.

The current US administration would have likely been in favor of it. Long term it’s a bad idea but it wouldn’t be the first time we saw groups like this only thinking about the short term.

As a New Yorker this doesn’t shock me too much. The level of “Mamdani is an anti-Semite” sentiment I saw online (Reddit particularly) felt truly hysterical. And wasn’t matched by any equivalent in the offline world.

One of the genius things about Swift is its interop with Objective C. Made the switch over considerably easier for developers. I’m not sure what that looks like in a Rust world. Rust is also just a more complex language. I’m not convinced t

Short answer is I don’t and it adversely affects my job satisfaction. I’m quite sure I’ve left money on the table over the years as a result of my reluctance to manage and mentor junior developers. Disappointing that I’ve ended up managing

Not really, no. Astro requires you to opt a component in to client-side rendering, React (with its server components etc) require you to opt out . Defaults matter in scenarios like this and I'd bet the average developer of crappy webs

The charitable read is that their restrictions for "safety" (i.e. what's separating Fable from Mythos) makes this inevitable. If you could just make your own Mythos it would circumvent the protection. Which kinda just highlig

To me that reads as an even greater reason not to delay it. If you knew the restrictions day one you’d be able to engineer the system to accommodate them. Waiting until post launch now means a massive amount of re-engineering. I know it’s

Apple said "hey, can we not comply with the law", the EU said no, so it didn't launch. Seems pretty straightforward to me. I can see why Apple might want to request an 18 month exemption, there's clearly extra work requi

Rust has editions, which can be mixed and matched between different dependencies. AFAIK Zig does not have this.
