Whether this has happened for him in particular, I don't know. He at least has made a blog post with the links of the companies in it, but of course this is only indication, not proof. The trend is certainly a thing. Blockchain compani

From the number of logos, it's 6 clients, and I would put 4 of them into the blockchain bucket, with smallstep and tailscale being the two non-blockchain exceptions. Also note that for blockchain projects, it's important that they

I made that comment about the worst software engineering in the context of this discussion, which is about the frontend. If discord had good fronted software engineering, it wouldn't be as bloated. With good software engineering you ca

The aspects you mention mostly make things easier for the developer side, not for the user side, which get only the indirect advantage of a more feature rich app. If you want to do things properly, you hire separate teams who do native deve

It's because a) people want high resolution, and b) software development is cutting corners like building on electron. Lastly, Discord has absolutely the worst software engineering behind it.

I was exaggerating a little, but the issue still exists. There has been a change in general societal mindset around deeming the outsides as dangerous for children, even during the day. This mindset might not exist everywhere, but where it i

It depends really whether you as a kid can have a social life at all without being on social media. If your school is one of those no-digital-devices places where tech workers send their kids to, then you'll manage. But most schools

The process that converts the chain of amino acids into a finished protein is called "protein folding", and yes, other proteins are involved, but the protein also influences its own folding to some degree: some parts want to be to

There seems to be no UI for it in the official mastodon code, but yes it's just one database lookup away (or a list of database lookups). I mean it's a common thing to not have end-to-end encryption. Gmail, Instagram, Discord, all

This reminds me of how in Germany, before there has been a value added tax, there'd been a revenue tax. It was lower, but you had to pay it on every $ of revenue, even if your profit margin was very small. So a lot of businesses starte

Fair points, I've checked source code and you are right, shm is indeed only used for editing, otherwise pipes are used.

Artists get inspired by others all the time, and if the results are far enough from each other, then nobody has a problem with that. In fact, pre copyright, the similarities used to be even larger. Art lives from the concept of taking ideas

There are plenty of competitors to the corporate AI models that are freely distributed, free to use, etc. You just need to have the hardware, which is admittedly pricey. The worst outcome is if there is a legal risk in creating AI models th

It's sad that Mozilla's layoffs were that extensive, but it also gave more resilience to the language I think. There isn't a single stakeholder any more. Instead it's distributed among a bunch of big tech companies. Whic
