Off-topic, feel free to ignore: I'm enjoying lit-html with web components (and no LitElement). Feels pretty native and down-to-DOM, kind of like building my own framework while building my own app. The aspects I need to control are mos

Thank you! That was a good, smooth thread. Well worth five minutes.

Unfortunately, many Ex-Mozilla people thought she deserved the money. They loved Mitchell Baker's focus on culture: Mozilla's progressive social causes and performances. They loved their culture more than their business and their

Giving a few good examples also has the benefit of demonstrating the author's own understanding. If the author can't describe the matter in different ways, it shows don't have a feel for "it", and they're not g

I've been enjoying Web Components with lit-html (and not lit) so far. The developer experience is definitely worse compared to Vue, but I feel there's less ideology and careerism. Plus, Claude generates some pretty nice code out o

Deep down, many people want to be a kind of god. Our technological progress lets that illusion of godhood seem achievable.

A few years, Pat said Intel had internally rebuilt their "Grovian execution Engine". I found those words empty, a far cry from Andy Grove's hard decision to dump memory in favor of microprocessors. Andy Grove's decisions

You said the word Nazi wasn't diluted, and then you implied the GP is a Nazi. It seems dishonest and, unfortunately, weakens the power of those labels even more.

As I recall, some of those stories turned out to be "customer doing shady things, Stripe is in the right". But the others were different, like "Stripe actually screwed up and fobbed off their customer until it became a PR pr

This looks quite compelling. But it's not clear how it handles file update conflicts. For example: if User A updates File X on one computer, and User B updates File X on another computer, what does the final file look like in S3?

It feels like ethnic anxieties have spiked since the election. Particularly among the prosperous with luxury time & beliefs. However, that might just be my perception.

I think GP made a pretty neutral comment, and you interpreted it rather poorly. It's a bit of an overreaction which, ironically enough, is the kind of engagement Twitter thrives on.

I understand your point but I find it interesting that others cannot. IMHO, online bickerers don't care for understanding. Understanding requires responding, not reacting. If we take a step back to contemplate your words, we lose the s

@dang, it looks like the comments just got reordered. The top one was posted 5 hours ago, and it fell to the bottom in the last few minutes. I'm curious how that happened since you've just posted this message above. EDIT: Ah I get

Don't be hard on yourself. I recall times when Rustaceans eagerly marketed "memory safety" to mean "safety" in general. Sometimes even extending "safety" to mean "bug free". I chalk up the confus

He talks about it a little: > Why is data integration so hard? The data is often in different formats that aren’t easily analyzed by computers – PDFs, notebooks, Excel files (my god, so many Excel files) and so on. But often what really

You're right to group Data teams together. They seem to share a common plight. In my experience, internal employees outside Data have a funny relationship with Data. They hate to manage it but they love to blame it, especially in analy

This is quite key. Performing a service more than once, creates a new role, and with it a new responsibility. Doesn't matter if my intention was just "I'm just being helpful" gesture. Doing it repeatedly becomes an expec

I would also add that the actual Atlantic article does not seem to misrepresent or reference the OP at all https://archive.md/R9uqH . Presented as is, no one did the OP dirty. This article is a bait-and-switch.
