Is it really necessary to highlight the heading at all? I’m a passionate frontend engineer, but I do think we are often busy “asking if we could”, and ignore “if we should”. Worth noticing, on mobile you can’t even read the conclusion in

Is that possible? Can you describe the chain of events that would lead to that? Seems vanishingly unlikely to me, on the face of it, but I admit I am not read up on all the possible doomsday scenarios.

I love that eye tracking is built in this bodes well for my VR hypothesis: The killer app for the VR platform is eye contact. In my opinion Zoom should be investing heavily in this, and Zoom’s market is the one newcomers stand to gain. Th

I just saw an interview w/ Nadella where he said straight up: Open Source takes half of every market, and this will happen with AI. That’s such a refreshing change from the “DIE OPEN SOURCE DIE” attitude that Gates/Ballmer had. I

For what it’s worth, I’m a “crypto believer” and I have never considered ease of use to be one of its selling points. What you are describing are the systems of power which create a stable financial system. That is, one where you can put a

If you’ve got a lot of working years left (and therefore can survive losing a large % of assets any given year) it’s generally a good thing to drastically raise your risk profile. Assuming you’re also raising your expected returns.

Right, so gold has a financial use and a material use. So, if I were to print bitcoin keys on firewood and sell that, would it become a “good investment” in your mind? That’s basically what gold is. A commodity with some limited material v

Well engineered code that closely models the business is an asset. Only a small percentage of code that’s ever written matches that criteria. That asset also requires you to have good relationships with people who know how to maintain it pr

In any given place there are 3-4 Starlink satellites visible at a time. The bandwidth on each is somewhere in the 20 Gbps range. So if you have 200 people using one satellite that’s no problem. 800 people using that whole cluster of visible

That’s my read too, if I’m being generous. I also think OP is missing the point saying the target applications are too small of a market to be worth pursuing. They’re too small to pursue any single one as the market cap for a company, but p

I see what you’re getting at, but technically the virtual DOM is what makes JSX declarative. JSX doesn’t actually write anything, it’s just a templating language over React.createElement. It’s the virtual DOM that actually syncs those struc
