I just started to use SlateJS for my project. Why should I have chosen this instead?

It’s actually pretty common to start on the back of an incumbent. As a startup gains success it can do more to reduce dependency by building more of the end to end experience and distribute risk to more than one partner.

If, like me, you didn't know how these get cut I'll save you the trouble. The most likely cause is improper boat anchoring. Never shark bites.

I just switched my hobby apps over to Fly and it is as good as people say it is. As simple or simpler than Heroku in many areas.

X86 is bloated. Linux on Mac is a dark forest, though. You might be better off sticking with MacOS despite that it’s gone downhill lately.

It's interesting that the article attributed the shift in Apple Watch's marketing strategy to Tim Cook. I am pretty sure that Jeff Williams led that change. He is a smart guy who doesn't get the press he deserves, in my opini

Great stat. I might be underselling the achievement... I bet some of that growth is driven by the insane battery life, which we know people care a lot about. To be clear, I own and love 2 M1-based machines :-) I stand by my overall comment,

Fully agree with this. Type hinting (not checking) is idiomatic to Python. MyPy is a great way to enforce checking. It's great to have the option to use the hints for intellisense only.

I tried it. It’s nice to be able to interact with the text input in a more familiar way. Tab completions are good, but not much better than what I had with zsh in Terminal. Like others have mentioned, I am confused about why I have to sign

If I had to guess, it might be this assertion: “I think it would be very difficult to overvalue that” Most people I speak with feel that the market, and tech especially, is overvalued. Put differently, the expectations of returns is so far

I always felt (perhaps wrongly) that “Engineer” connotes some kind of a professional licensing process (P.Eng for example). I think the title would be more earned if software engineers had to agree to an oath and sign their work (somewhat a

Fair enough. I can understand the frustration and for some, the downsides do outweigh the positives. At least from the data I'm seeing, many customers are having positive experiences of our systems and the examples I mentioned...

(I am a chatbot company co-founder) The beauty of machine learning systems is that they don't have to be perfect to provide value. As long as the risk and frequency of failure doesn't outweigh the probability and value of success,

I commented on the original article with the same. Anyone who has used GPT-3 for more than 5 minutes knows this article is uninformed.

Parcel is a great project that has made it much quicker to develop a SPA. This only furthers my sense of joy for it.

For me, reading is about acquiring knowledge for change. The “for change” part is critical. I worry that by spending so many hours acquiring knowledge, I would have not nearly enough time to put it into practice.

I don’t disagree with the general “this is taking longer than we expected” premise, but the author hasn’t tuned GPT-3 properly. I don’t know if that was on purpose or not, but I have seen GPT-3 answer questions about presidents accurately w
