In other words, there’s no commonly-used, agreed upon standard for creating APIs. The closest is REST-like APIs, which are really no more specific than “hit a URL and get some data back”. So why are we all bitching about it? Programmaticall

Yep. This is why we need constitutional amendments or more foundational laws around privacy that changes this default. Which should be a bipartisan issue, if money had less influence in politics.

Well, if you COULD ship something across the world on a private 747 with extra features to protect your cargo, and it has nearly no environmental downside and has no meaningful downside vs a smaller airplane… you’d probably do it! There’s n

Not true, cable TV runs ads and costs money. Many sports channels cost money in a cable package and still have ads. The *paid* Netflix plans have ads now. It’s pretty clear that companies can’t stop salivating over how lucrative ads are, an

“Unacceptably poorly” describes what Facebook & Google do with your data, which is to (essentially) sell your personal information to advertisers. Google captcha sends your data to Google? Come on. Not even remotely in the same ballpark

AI features are essentially non-negotiable for a lot of people these days, and a lot of companies too. It’s hard to deny that LLMs coding assistants are at a minimum pretty promising. More promising than many other LLM uses. Zed wants to be

There are dozens of OS designs available for Linux. Unlike windows or Mac, you could change most things you think are ugly. There are large parts of windows I think are ugly, for example. Gnome isn’t ugly at all, and actually performs many

Very advanced machine learning models are used in current self driving cars. It all depends what the model is trying to accomplish. I have a hard time seeing a generalist prompt-based generative model ever beating a model specifically desig

You’re probably underestimating how many “real” mainstream families still have a TV. A 4k HDR tv is cheaper than a Switch 2. Hell, you can get a 75” 4k HDR tv for the same price. The cheapest 55” 4k HDR tv at Walmart ($238) is almost half t

Anyone can write a password manager which supports passkeys for iOS, and there are plenty of third party ones that already exist! Passkeys are (technically device independent too.

It’s true. I think AVP is still a valuable product just because they need to continue R&D. Stuff like this hasn’t broken into the consumer space very much beyond video games, so I think these platforms probably need a lot of experimenti

AI generated web content has got to be one of the most counterproductive things to use AI on. If I wanted an AI summary of a topic or answer to a question, a chatbot of choice can easily provide that for you. There’s no need for yet another

It’s fair to be concerned, but web search is probably the most likely field to be completely disrupted by AI. I mean if I’m asking a question, and would find an answer in the first page of search results, it’s pretty likely AI surface the s

There are also so many types of slow tests in web systems. Any kind of e2e test like Cypress or Playwright can easily take a minute. Integrations tests that render components and potentially even access a DB take many times longer than a ba
