It’s funny, Express.js tried this. 4.x was basically a complete piece of software. There weren’t any great reasons to change the API. But people hated that. They considered it “unmaintained”. They moved to Koa and Hono because they appeared

Any mature SaaS company will have exact measurements of acquisition costs. This is advertising, sales staff, etc. This is one the the most fundamental components of SaaS accounting, it’s absolutely not a “wild guess”.

Also worth noting that it’s often not single-node performance that caps throughput… it’s replication. Databases are pretty good at quickly adding and removing lots of rows. But even if you can keep up with churning through 1000 rows/se

In addition to Oracle, he owns 1.5% of Tesla and 77% of Skydance/Paramount but those are <10% of the value of his Oracle stake.

Interesting concept. As a side benefit this would allow you to make steady progress fighting SEO slop as well, since there can be no arms race if you are ignoring new content. You could even add options for later cutoffs… for example, you c

Does anyone have experience putting their production branches in a separate repo from their development branches? GitHub makes it very easy to make a pull request from one repo into another. This would seem to have a lot of benefits: you ca

If I build and my own CDN, it will go down. And I will have to fix it at 2am. If I use CloudFlare, it will also go down, but probably for less time, and someone else has to be up at 2am fixing it. > Build what delivers your value. Like

Yes, no recourse. But there are still legal consequences. If Apple blocks certain web content they have a harder time arguing that they are not responsible for blocking other we content: copyrighted material, etc. They don’t want that cos

What’s partisan about what your OP described? Democrats and republicans alike were entangled in Epstein’s crimes.

I agree, if there is a death of React it will be killed by Next/Vercel. I probably shouldn’t care. I’m just not looking forward to the chaos of another full “turn” in JavaScript, akin to query->backbone or backbone->react. Maybe

I mean, you’re technically correct. But you’re also not understanding the point. What people mean when they say “React is just JavaScript” is… 1) JSX, more than any other templating system, is just HTML interleaved with JavaScript. It’s HTM

I wish more software companies had a core value of “every user created bit is sacred.” Storage is cheap enough that this attitude is possible. But I guess keeping all of your designers aware of it across thousands of teams is too hard.

You are correct. JSX is not “just HTML”. It’s “just interleaved HTML and JavaScript”. `v-bind:id` and `@click.prevent` are something else. There is nothing like this in JSX. It’s not HTML. It’s not JavaScript. It’s some other language.

Yes, but if you turn down the opportunity, statistically the person who takes it will be slightly worse at their job than you would have been. If enough people apply some ethical line, it creates a genuine headwind for evildoers.

Does it? Last I tried, several years ago, coverage of the Node APIs was not good. I wanted to send data over UDP and a lot of Node basics there were missing.

Folding phones are ~1.5% of the market. Apple cancelled their mini line which was 3% of sales. It’s not a big enough slice for them to want to chase.

Ethiopia isn’t a race though? Are you saying you believe the title was trying to signal that the founder is black, not their country of origin? I’m not sure you can draw that conclusion.

I also wonder if it’s a bit better for your hands. I feel like having my pinkies just kind of hanging there while I type causes the nerves to atrophy.
