Why would you need root access and unlockable devices to produce code ? Do you have access to the microcode of your CPU ? Can’t you code on a Mac ? I agree that it would be better for everyone if there were competitive fully open source pla

I’m really not sure about that. By definition, high entropy means high information density (information per character). So with the same amount of information you would have less characters.

The fact that we even have to debate about which laptop is good for Linux or not makes me not want to bother. I switched to Mac 12 years ago, and I never had to bother thinking about choosing hardware since. It just works.

Just to be clear: This perfectly fine experience you describe is also exactly the experience of 99% of Apple users, including me. You only hear the ones that complain.

It works very well with VSCode. It has an integration. It shows differently than normal autocomplete, it shows just like gmail autocomplete (grayed out text sugggestion, and press tab to actually autocomplete). Sometimes the suggestion is j

In my experience 95% of the time. And 80% of the time it output codes which is better than I would have done myself in a first approach (thinks of corner cases, adds meaningful comments etc.). It’s impressive.

Have you heard of GitHub copilot ? It’s based on GPT3 and I can tell you one thing: it does not generate meaningless prose (90% of the time)

I agree. At this point Zucks metaverse sounds just like another XBox Home Screen, in VR. A place were you want to spend as little time as possible, on your way to use the real apps.

Yeah ok, sure, the dozens of UX designers doing A/B testing all the time at UberEats are all wrong, and you are the only person to know what good UX is. And as a user of UberEats, all my perceptions are wrong: The good experience I hav

Cool! My dad worked on this in the 80s. Like the web but much more centralized. Not that the web is decentralized much these days though...

I don’t disagree with you on future energy abundance. I too am an optimist. Renewables and Nuclear are a thing. All I’m saying is that if we continue at this rate of carbon emissions, even only 10years, nevermind 30years (the time to develo

You won’t have a CO2 quota don’t worry, your little comfort will be fine. But easy oil will run out eventually anyway. Your children (if you have any) will live on an overheating planet, with mass climate migrations, and very high priced oi

Some figures to keep in mind, since CO2 is absent from your calculations: Flying from SFO to LAX and back costs 0.2 Tons of CO2. That’s more than a month of your CO2 quota if we want to limit climate change to +1.5C. CO2 budget should be 2

If other participants having a tiny 200px image of you (among 6 other people) in the corner of their screen is extremely fatiguing to you, how does it work when you go to the office ? Do you get seizures after 15min of in-person meeting ? P

But what about UberEats and similar apps? You don’t mention it, but I’m pretty sure 90%+ of restaurants here in Lisbon are on UberEats, which provides a great UX. I never had to install any individual restaurant’s app. I didn’t even know th

15 years ago I used exactly zero web apps in my daily work and life. Today I use exclusively web/electron/react native apps: VSCode, Slack, Google Docs (which I’m perfectly happy with), GitHub, Figma, Miro, etc. And my retired mum

The fact that the majority of successful software have UIs based on web technologies contradicts the narrative that “web UIs are terrible”

by crubier 5y ago
Wait until you see native apps made by people with the same skills as those who make “shitty web apps”. At that point the word “terrible” does not even apply anymore.

Yes sure... the old song of « these new web apps like Google Docs are terrible, we should go back to MS office 97 ». Meanwhile, customers clearly and massively choose web apps over more traditional apps. Think of the market share of web&#x2

Do you live in the EU ? Because I do and all I can say is that clearly the EU is massively reducing the chances of a war. What I’ve seen is: At universities, the Erasmus programme means students of all nationalities study together as friend

Put simply: Yes. Nuclear Power is (part of) our Best Bet Against Climate Change. I don't even think this requires further arguments, in 2021. This fact has been known for like 20 years, by anyone having a clue about orders of magnitude

Indeed, one of the pillars of OOP is encapsulation. (= encapsulation of state = hiding state = every object can maybe be stateful, but you can't know from the outside). Meanwhile, one of the pillars of modern programming techniques (FP

Esbuild is amazing, but it’s worth mentioning SWC, which is written in Rust, even faster than Esbuild, and integrated within Deno, NextJS and other leading tools. Overall I am pretty bullish on the Rust/Js/Wasm/Typescript eco

SWC in NextJS is still in canary with experimental settings, but it took me 3 lines of code yesterday to make it work on a fairly large app ( https://labelflow.ai ). Hot reload times instantly went from 10s to 1s. Twitter discus

I believe that classes, inheritance and OOP as the leading paradigm for two decades were the worst thing to happen to programming after NULL. You don’t need classes at all, classes are simply a mix of several concepts that are best kept sep
