No need to build and maintain a whole api layer? One code base rather than two? Simple pages become simple again?

They have a standalone version of tailwind that doesn't use node.js/npm. https://tailwindcss.com/blog/standalone-cli It's not as full featured, but it's pretty good frankly for what I do with it.

I don't know. Regulations require labor. And there's no amount of economies of scale that's going to overcome that. Just to get started there's years of understanding the regulations. Then there's the super high

I recently needed a computer to run fusion 360. Options were Mac vs Windows. I could do a SFF PC or a Mac mini. After looking at the paltry memory/storage Apple chose to give with the mini, I ended up going with an AMD system with 96

These days I think it's hard to say, honestly. The only thing really new here would be powder layering. It's unclear how that might be mad cheaper today. Maybe they found a solution?

by bb88 3y ago
Each 100 micron layer is a layer of powder applied on top of what was already fused. The density of this powder is roughly the same as the fused material. So as the layers build up, the powder will "pack" in underneath the fused

In honesty, I love pycharm today. 8 years or so ago I didn't so much. Also, goland isn't terrible either. It's really the only way to write go beyond say 1000 lines of code.

As long as the information is publicly available, it makes no difference. Once upon a time, if you shorted publicly traded Corp Z, and then wrote an article negative about Corp Z encouraging others to do so as well, most people were fine wi

No argument, but if I'm interviewing and get a better offer, I'm probably gonna leave. Further in some corporations, interviewing for other positions is a bright shiny red flag for that person to be let go or fired. Even if they

My favorite is the hobbyist youtube videos sponsored by Altium. Just pay 10k plus 2/3k per year afterwards and you too can design boards like I can! (/s) But the reality is I unsubscribed from those creators, because I never wan

Yes it's a joke, but also not really. If I have an issue and I'm paying a high paid consultant to solve it, well he needs to solve it, right? Particularly if he's not writing code. A $450/hr consultant better be able to

And Ada is really an underappreciated language. Still not perfect, but Spark makes it super interesting.

Well... no. I believe this to be a cultural difference as well as an economic one. The marginal cost of open source software is $0. But if you license an ARM core, you're paying money for it (like Apple is doing for the M-series proce

30 years or so ago, there were a handful of programming languages in regular use: C/C++/Assembly/Ada/Fortran/Pascal. Now there's 100x more that people use professionally. I always wondered what would happen i

Usually the cheaper the pay, the worse the death marches are. The company is either struggling to make a profit, or the managers are too greedy and saving up to buy a beach front mansion at your expense. A higher pay rate means the company

I disagree. Managers on average are worse than the average coder. And FAANG managers are no exception. At some level it becomes more about winning intra-company fights, than moving the company forward. You gotta look at the applicant as a

I think he's focusing too much on the runway, and not enough on growth frankly. Investors these days want a return on investment in 18-24 months, not 5 years.

Those are "castle builders". But I've also seen people hire bad people to be tossed to the curb for an upcoming 5% across the board layoff.
