In my experience the 2 month version is so bad it’s still being hotfixed in production in month 8.

Do you want to buy domains from an ad company or from a web infrastructure company?

One factor is that Google are more permissive about what apps can do, so the incentive is lower.

Is this not an alignment of interests?

Not sure why people are still repeating this erroneous line of thinking. Humans can’t look in two different places at once like a chameleon. The eyes focus on the same point and the stereo images overlap almost entirely - the difference in

The problem is that it’s 10x harder to find someone who’s good at two things vs two people who are good at one thing.

It's actually not even true. It's become something of a popular myth. The original quote claimed "poor and lower-middle-class families" who in 1929 New York would have been predominantly white. That quote itself is dispu

That's the quote that is disputed.

That’s not the right way to approach this. There’s no way to subdivide a copyrightable work into portions that become uncopyrightable. Otherwise one could simply split up the work, free themselves of copyright, and reassemble the pieces. A

The best answer is “it depends”. Almost any trick a layman can think of to work around a license is probably wrong. A mindless transliteration of those 800 lines is likely a derivative work, whereas a thoughtful re-creation likely isn’t. Co

This isn’t true though! The Southern accent in the US did not emerge until after the Civil War, replacing a diverse array of local accents. It came from the Appalachian South which was settled by the Scotch-Irish and Germans, none of whom h

That’s funny. It’s definitely an actively used term in the U.K. though I can imagine people not knowing it. Outside of heavy industry I’d associate it with centuries-old flour mills. I’ve found that often when my fellow Brits complain of a

No this is completely wrong. Over the age of 40, a perfectly healthy, functioning and complaint-free individual can have alarmingly high blood pressure. Often it's hereditary. They can even have an obese sibling who's just fine.

If you make an offline first web app you need to spend most of your time worrying about sync and auth. Otherwise the semantics of your app are going to be... iffy.

Yes, that's CoreData but we're talking about this new intermediate SwiftData layer. If you think of the ORM part as just "storage" the bindings are quite Recoil-like. Take a look at `recoil-sync`, which handles querying

If we think of CoreData's role here as simply providing persistent storage then the annotation layer is the interesting bit - binding a persisted model to a view via a query is conceptually similar to Recoil's atoms' support

Nothing says “innocent” like observing your criminality before getting right back to participating in the crime.

Looks pretty different. Much closer to more modern state management approaches such as Recoil and Jotai.

> Word is made of hacks and kludges, matching them is nearly impossible. The newer OOXML formats are fine. They’re only hard to implement because the feature set of word is gigantic. PDF is much worse.

Line wrapping is often different between different browsers, so things end up on different pages for different users.

Nix is great conceptually but after 20 years of boiling the ocean, I would call the experience difficult and erratic, not “splendid”.
