I use my LG TV's YouTube application as the only media player on my TV because it's plenty fast enough and it does 4K. On my other television I have an Apple TV, and the only real difference is that I like the Apple remote more.

I'm fairly certain that's untrue. There is, however, a fairly pernicious aspect of the social discourse that really would like to conflate "entertaining it, rejecting it soundly, and not repeatedly entertaining it for the s

I think Colin's a rad programmer, he works on EdgeDB which is absolutely my favorite datastore I've ever used and I think Zod's fine if you want to use it. But I don't agree with your premise. I don't, in practice,

The thing is that folks who want this to be a thing would really prefer that folks like me go along with them in conflating productivity with industrial productization . I find that to be a distasteful kind of hide-the-ball. And yanno, m

That seems generally antithetical to the goals of the folks making these, which is "don't pay a human for what a computer can do instead".

Maybe I was unclear - my post was a criticism of Zod because it involves a bunch of duct tape that I'm not sure makes sense. Typebox just creates JSON Schema objects at runtime and projects them into the type system with `Static<T&g

FWIW, I've had good success with Typebox over Zod for exactly this stuff. You don't need to compile out types, you just...have them.

Nobody picked Floyd as a "hero". He died, on camera, as a police officer joked around with his buddy while that officer killed him through undue force. Turns out being able to show it on the nightly news does stick a little.

Consider how expensive it is to store and operate those tools. Square footage isn't cheap most places; my wood shop probably costs me about $550 a month in used space! In that light, refreshing a laptop every five years or so (on the l

They're not even that expensive as tools go, either. My Festool Domino was $1200. It makes one particular hole in a piece of wood. It's very, very good at it--but it doesn't replace my tablesaw ($600) or my bandsaw ($700) or
