This is some weird logic. "I dated someone that didn't like to work on child care and therefore I don't think universal childcare is a good idea". Yeah, I dated someone that was a teacher and didn't like her job.

Youtube is being overloaded by such playlists. They become obvious after listening to them for a bit. There is something jarring in them which makes them kinda annoying.

You must be young. XML and XML Schemas existed before JSON or Protobuf, and people ditched them for a good reason and JSON took over. Protobuf is just another version of the old RPC/Java Beans, etc... of a binary format. Yes, it is m

JSON exists, and when compressed it is pretty efficient. (not as efficient as protobuff though). For client facing protocol Protobufs is a nightmare to use. For Machine to Machine services, it is ok-ish, yet personally I still don'

This is a problem for folks with sensitive data, and also for coorporate users who don't want their data being used for it due to all kinds of liability issues. I am sure they will have a coorporate carve out, otherwise it makes them u

LLMs help a lot in doing 'well defined' tasks, and things that you already know you want, and they just accelerate the development of it. You still have to re-write some of it, but they do the boring stuff fast. They are not grea

Well, at least it is a video. Meta had its layoffs with emails when they did all those rounds in 22-23 and 24. You got an email if you were safe, and another if you were terminated plus some links to some portal etc. Plus, there was some

It is still incomplete and a mess. I don't think they thought through the actual main cases Swift is used for (ios apps), and built a hypothetical generic way which is failing on most clients. Hence lots of workarounds, and ways to ge

Buying in NYC is just wild. A condo can have a 400$/mo tax, while the next door one is 1300/mo, and the other one down the street can be only 35$/mo for the first 20 years. There is also a mortgage tax of 2.05% for a loan,

Agreed... in most large (non trivial systems) REST ends up looking/devolving closer to RPC more and more and you end up just using get and post for most things and end up with a REST-ISH-RPC system in practice. REST purists will not be

Man, there are street that are closed to traffic, and you just are either lying or being dumb. They just don't look like streets anymore, as they are turned into plazzas or parks. EG: E25st at Lex, Baruch College is truned into a plazz

Not true. E25st by Baruch college has turned into a plaza. There are some more, that I can think off. (8th/St Marks by A Ave, is a park) etc. This used to be a regular street at some point https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZivS

This is juvenile thinking... none of them will go away. They can be independent services themselves, and be pretty profitable at it. The upshoot is if they are independent, they will be forced to compete fairly with other services. Whic

You are making my point... if you have to use ViewRepresentable in half of the app, then SwiftUI failed. It was supposed to completely replace UIKit, but now it is just another framework to work with... (makes easy things super easy, but h

It is not just the language but the frameworks. SwiftUI is a wreck, and still not mature even after 6-7+ years in 'production'. You still have to drop to UIKit to do advanced UI, and for what it is, SwiftUI is just not practical

Swift is amateur hour in action by academics that don't value practicality. The new Concurrency was ill thought, and done by people that just perhaps either don't have enough practical experience, or are so enamored with the acto

I personally love the autoplay (on hovering), as often I just want to see some part of the video without having to click on it and see a bunch of ads before any playback.
