I know a lot of people who have recovered from alcohol addiction and are living fairly normal lives. ALL the people I’ve known that were trying to stop heroin are dead now. A big part of it is fentanyl but they were known to relapse more fr

Thank you for that link, I've never heard that but it's definitely going to be one of the new things I meditate on quite a bit. Especially combined with the concept of all "all abstractions are leaky" If you're desi

So much about programming in a larger sense is just getting abstractions correct. Too loose and they don't standardize/remove enough boilerplate. Too strict and they break or multiply when changes are needed. I am curious, since m

Thanks, that analysis was worth adding. You're saying 2 years, I've heard other people say they would maybe consider relying on this in 5. It's really dependent on the software you work on. So an estimate of around 20 years

CSS3 and HTML5 are not meaningful semantic version numbers anymore and haven’t been for over a decade. Both CSS and HTML are considered “living standards” now and no longer use version numbers: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/m

I'm going to be honest, I did this evaluation several months ago and I don't remember all of the exact points. If I remember: * I did not like that it was an alternative to a different Facebook rich text editor (draft.js) * Very R

I'm not part of the TipTap team but I think I can help answer this. Think of it like this... you're basically only coupling yourself to ProseMirror. That's the schema you're storing in your database. TipTap is a set of l

I use Tip Tap in SvelteKit and I like it a lot. I'm really glad I chose it over Lexical and other options. Congrats on the recent YC funding! Nice to see a player in this space that isn't from Facebook/React dominant. The onl

This is interesting. It might explain how women are thought to be less* looks oriented when choosing a partner, because defects that aren’t genetic (ex being out of shape, having scars or injuries) are less weighted than the “blueprints” *

It’s a US only thing. And only for people in the US who don’t regularly communicate with people outside the US. I moved out of the US and most of my US friends I still have to use iMessage to talk to. Only a few are active on WhatsApp.

I’ve been working with Svelte very heavily since November of last year. It’s been a real journey with Svelte and SvelteKit over the last 7 months, seeing things change rapidly. I think one of the coolest things is that it has galvanized fra

The comment makes it sound like they were still taking the money, but no longer offering the service. If that’s the case, they’re in the wrong.

Yeah, and even TikTok itself has done this. There was this flash in the pan social media app that was popular for like 2-3 months at some point in the past year (I forget when) called BeReal and TikTok added an exact clone of the functional

I can offer some simpler alternative explanations, though it's possible that it could be a combination of these things. * This is anecdotal, but I quit using Twitter in 2016, so the "downfall" of it doesn't impact me muc

I think it’s an interesting question - what should the goal of a CSS “framework” be? Because in the past, CSS struggled with achieving basic common layouts without using hacks. That’s why Bootstrap and its grid system were so popular. But t

I genuinely believe Gatsby is the epitome of everything wrong with front-end development. It’s such a bad framework. So complex and confusing and fragile just to generate static pages.

Sometimes I think about Gravatar. Like it was such a simple concept but made sense and saw huge adoption. It seems like the main bottleneck all new platforms face is getting people to sign up. That’s why OAuth is so popular. It makes me won
