I’m not sure it you’re aware of the inefficiencies and corruption of the military, or the fact that - it’s a cost center. It’s also something we are able to spend unlimited funds on because it is existential. And privatizing the military wo

This is very cool and useful. Also it is only necessary because of the lack of type enforcement which means no code can be relied and on and all code has to be constantly inspected for new bugs. Ugh.

I’ve been using this for a while now and will bring ChatGPT as an additional conversational partner when having discussions where we don’t know the topic that well. It’s wild. Very close to Star Trek land. I never thought I’d see this.

Even better for bed time (and even stargazing) is the add a red mode. I have had my power button triple click toggle this for many years. It can be hard to operate if you turn the blue leds off entirely but you don’t need much. https:&#x2F

I believe the shape of the letter is encoded into the cam, thus the ability to draw arbitrary figures such as the dog drawn in the video. This makes it far more flexible that 26 letters with casing.

The algorithm could return a random Nigerian ethnic group proportional to their actual population. To be fair that’s probably challenging however perhaps the direction the models should go. It would be great if the algorithm returned divers

For prototyping you don’t need a back end. You barely need one for production. Just some cloud functions and a cloud database. Firestore, gcf, or equivalent.

For quick scripts sure. For writing an application or something that actually require design and libraries? Why bother? You need to be meticulous anyway, why not be meticulous in code?

Looking at the new Hotwire stuff. It’s neat from a technical perspective but looks dreadful to me. Why double down on a sloppy backend language when hardly any of the needed logic for a web application is backend? Especially when the altern

Would anyone start a new project with Rails today? If someone suggested using Rails for a new project to me today, I would show them the door. There are so many more mature frameworks in more robust and performant languages. IMO the only re

But why? So many more performant frameworks for this in strongly typed languages to boot.

Please stop doing this. You’re making judgements on candidates for social skills that most likely have nothing to do with their job. Sounds like you’re interviewing for a date or a roommate, not an employee.

One major issue nobody has mentioned: privacy. Do we really want every payment we make in database where it can be passed around and used to analyze, market, and persecute us? I was a big fan of MobileCoin the privacy token in Signal becaus

It makes sense to me. I’m assuming in this context sea level is distance from the center of the earth.

No you don’t. However the VC model will prevent less greedy business owners from not doing vendor lock-in.

More evidence that the VC model is broken. If every investor wants to 10-100x, every company eventually needs to compromise any semblance of values in order to redeem their latest investors.
