The "Elm at Microsoft" link is broken and when I google for it, I can only find an archived package on Github.

The claim that a general purpose web frontend framework adds no overhead to GPU intensive animation is indeed bizarre. The author seems to believe his own marketing that his framework is the end-all-be-all.

Some basic features are missing from that doc. For example, typesense doesn’t handle periods, underscores, dashes and other characters as delimiters: https://github.com/typesense/typesense/issues/122 https:&

It’s funny that the top comment points out the obvious-- people want SQL in the browser-- and a NoSQL author immediately has to jump in to claim that SQL in the browser was wrong all along. I think the NoSQL and MongoDB folks are worried fo

Edit: Nolan replied before and corrected me. I've removed my misinterpretation and kept my main point below. Back in the day, there were people who strongly suggested MongoDB and IndexedDB were the future, and that PostgreSQL, MySQL, S

I view the "standards" argument as a red herring for building a NoSQL db in the browser. Which, to this day, is slow, buggy and requires third party libraries to be usable [1] For those who are able to stomach an uncomfortable po

Zig looks promising because it has an actual leader, putting their name and skin in the game. I think a single visionary must provide a personal commitment to their language and take risks on its behalf, at least during its infancy. Or else

You’re not. Kotlin’s vision to be a high-level, developer friendly language across all platforms seems unfocused to me.

The vocal group you speak of overlaps significantly with the group that wants the price of all software to be voluntary donations. At some point, their desires become parasitical.

Yep, those folks engaged in "performative commenting" upvoting and agreeing that they would all buy small phones if only Apple would make them. Then Apple made the small phones... and crickets.

The "mode" you wish for is a rearchitecture of PostgreSQL. Embedded and client-server DBs are two distinct systems.

Well-led projects tend to create new spin-offs rather than overextend their original idea. The former is riskier and more liable to fail, whereas the latter chases diminishing returns and undermines the conceptual integrity of the system. M

This reads as: "believe whatever people say because we're afraid to contradict them."

Some people believe their presence on the spectrum makes them superior to people who are not on the spectrum. They feel entitled to a social standing that lets them abuse others without consequence. It’s supremacism but for neurodiversity.

Seems like good, old-fashioned engineering work to me. No breathless evangelism or careerist claptrap in sight.

I think you're fine. The GP is just threatened by your everyday social intelligence. It's not that you're superior to him, it's that he feels inferior or lacking compared to you.

This answer is insightful and matches my understanding. The article demonstrates an interviewee skillfully maneuvering around their interviewers. It undermines the dominance display which, judging by the comment section, more than a few fol

I’ve seen people go through the pipeline with “no hires” from interviewers because of small differences of opinion. In your case, I’d wager that the disagreeing interviewers feedback may have just been discarded.
