I think they mean that light exposure has been causally linked to wakefulness, which I'm sure is a statistical thing and not an absolute thing, meaning your experience is still valid even though it's different. Your indignation ma

Ah yes, thank you for the thorough corrections, you knew much more about this topic than me and correctly guessed exactly what I meant.

I think the main thing is that the downsides of SPA frameworks are significantly mitigated in a dashboard app. Typically dashboards will be accessed on a desktop in an office setting with good internet, so initial load and asset size isn&#x

Do you feel this way about dashboard apps? The OP is about a dashboard app, and I think they are one example where the benefits of a SPA framework really do make sense. Curious if these fit into the "almost all" criteria you use.

I didn't know fixed speed bikes were popular among couriers. Do you know if this is regional? I've always thought fixed speed would be a nightmare in somewhere with any elevation gain like the hills of San Fransisco. Or, is fixed

Looks good, but would be nice to see a comparison with other major loggers in the JS space. I realize this one is TS-first but most of the time loggers have about 6 methods on a core object, so that alone is not a compelling value prop to m

I must not be the target audience for this. What exactly is the purpose of this article? How to rewrite a simple C program in a complex combination of assembly and syscalls?

I guess I've just never seen any alternative to microbenchmarking in the JS world. Do you know of any projects that do "macrobenchmarking" to a significant degree so I could see that approach?

Respectfully, it feels slightly rude to suggest that gambling addiction is due to psychological weakness. Perhaps that's your view, but I don't think it matches the modern medical perspective on addiction.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but when I benchmark code, my goal is to compare two implementations of the same function and see which is faster. This article seems to be concerned with finding some absolute metric of performance, but to me

Not sure but my guess is because they aren't a good fit for many languages. If you need a task runner then often languages will have a built in option or there are better alternatives than Make. If you need a build system then Make isn

Is it a frequent experience for you to have to disregard a piece of otherwise appealing software because the developer claims to have written it on a plane?

Many commenters seem unenthusiastic about this approach, but it seems like it solves some useful problems for my typical use cases. Regarding dropped timestamps: if log order is preserved within an aggregation, that would be sufficient for

I interpretted the article's argument as saying that volume can be a major business cost, not that it creates operational challenges.

I know nothing about robotics. Is deterministic log replay really a differentiating factor? My naive assumption would be that this is table stakes for pretty much any software.

Personally I dislike links that force me to do a bunch of work to figure out the gist of the post. In this case, it seems like a link to a link to a comment on an academic paper in which the author is frustrated about irrelevant citation re

I find the syntax confusing. Setting properties and even creating associated model instances is done with opaque method names like `.name()` and `.todo()`. I'm not always a fan of using set/get prefixes, but I think there should b

Engaging read! For me, just the right balance of technical detail and narrative content. It's a hard balance to strike and I'm sure preferences vary widely which makes it an impossible target for every audience.
