Hack Club, the largest Slack instance I’ve ever been a part of, has a culture of personal channels and it is incredibly organic and fun. It’s largely restricted to students under 18, though! I feel like it’s a common pattern that organicall

Price discovery is impossible to do except on the market. You can call up everyone you know and ask them, but there are limits to forecasting. We all knew the Switch 2 MSRP, but we had to wait for launch to see the eBay Buy it Now price. In

It’s just a bulk discount: everyday folks simply can’t be relied upon to buy hundreds of millions of dollars the stuff and that’s what the company is selling. Little fish can buy in, but only if the big fish provide liquidity in the first p

I guess I’m curious how it applies here. The plugins communicate over a socket, and then the plugins are loaded into an editor. I assume the editor doesn’t need to be AGPL, because nvim is Apache 2 and VS Code is MIT. But does the plugin ne

It's funny because the biggest impact in my eyes is social and not technical: the standard library is controlled by project governance whereas libraries are not. Zig moves fast with it's BFDL structure, Rust moves slow with its co

For open source, SQLite has pledged long term support through 2050: https://www.sqlite.org/lts.html I imagine it will go on for much longer, though!

Zig's standard library is structured so that you only compile what you need, so Zig has no problems adding richer functionality to its standard library. This is influenced by Zig's decision to only have a single compilation unit p

Iroh is much better suited for the application layer. You can multiplex multiple QUIC streams over the same connection, each for a specific purpose. All you need is access to QUIC, no virtual network interface. It’s a bit like gRPC except y

I consider sodium-ion as an extension of lithium-ion because they’re made by the same folks with similar processes. They are still early, but very much in the process of being ramped and will be incredibly useful for stationary storage: low

If they cost 20% less then you can buy 20% more and only use them up to 80% capacity.

Yeah, that was a recent turning point. This has been a huge scandal for Sig since at least 2023, with little accountability: https://www.thetrace.org/2023/04/sig-sauer-p320-upgrade-safe...

What do you think the negative externalities actually are? Off of the top of my head: mining, landfill. Same as other metals. If the processes to extract Lithium from recycling become cheap enough to compete with the prices of mined Lithium

Lithium-ion batteries are falling in cost so rapidly that any new process being ramped up is risky business. Form is way further along than this landing page and yet has a long way to go: https://www.latitudemedia.com/ne

Almost 50% the price with 100% tariffs means more expensive, and they can keep raising tariffs.

That is very cool and makes sense! I can see myself using this for sure. Put that in the README! :P

It’s very region specific. Just like some regions don’t have many basements, some have a lot of radon: Here in Maine about 36.5% of radon test results equal or exceed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) action level of 4 pCi/

Or Debian or NixOS? Both of which are pretty reproducible: https://reproducible-builds.org/success-stories/ You just need a read-only system partition, like macOS or NixOS or Silverblue.

Yeah, a regulatory goal that can be met by FiOS today but will take Starlink billions to get there does not seem like the correct way to allocate federal funds. Brendan Carr's has critiqued federal broadband spending: too much spent on

I largely agree. The other thing that happened is that phones got faster: it just doesn't matter as much anymore. A slow disk cache is fine , but if it does anything on the main thread: straight to jail. The article is about memory ef

It does progressive CGImage decoding right, I do remember looking at that! Efficient for network to pixels. But it stores PNGs on disk.

Load images lazily — only when needed — to avoid wasting memory upfront. AsyncImage or Kingfisher are the options. Kingfisher and AsyncImage decompress images into dirty memory, and images are big. They're fairly CPU and memory
