Eero was VC funded, right? That means they're basically forced to exit unless they think they can keep growing quickly. (I used to share an office building with Eero's early team. They seemed nice.)

momentum maps pretty strangely to automata, since to move more slowly you need a more complicated spaceship

yeah, you have React, but which of the 30 fashionable state-management libraries are you using? Typescript or Flow? What version of JS syntax? What compiler what minifier? oh hey, half of these just stopped being maintained without warning

this is good news! In the electric sector, this is basically already the status quo - new solar and wind is so cheap compared to everything else.

Have you worked on finance software? I have - we always used ints for everything, so we could avoid rounding suprises

huh. I tried to run our rails app in WSL, and it was so slow that it was unusable

who has an app that they don’t deploy daily?

I tried to switch back to Firefox, but my password manager (lastpass) doesn’t work correctly, I guess the new extension APIs are too restrictiy. So, Chrome it is.

advertising has never worked, but the delusion that it could work is strong - it seems like there’s probably a neverending supply of businesses who are going to throw some money down the drain, just in case they get lucky. It’s like buyi

I found that the tech “scene” barely existed, as such. People who work in tech there are super siloed - they go to work, they work too much, they go home. People don’t really go to meetups and user groups like they do in other cities.

what's so great about "intelligent" platforms? They're constantly doing something wrong or at least useless.

until they have warehouses in the US, it’s worth it to me to pay the amazon premium to get stuff delivered quickly

by jes5199 9y ago
yeah maybe I pay twice as much dollars, but my _time_ is so much more scarce than my disposable income. I get an Amazon package delivered right to my door, almost every day. If I was gonna drive to Petsmart, that would take a several hour c

there’s no such thing as pure data - different kinds of information have different values. Google hasn’t figured out how to turn indiscriminate data collection into economic value, except as a venue to host advertising mixed with search res

I’ve had a Haskell program fail in exactly the same way, though - removing a debug statement caused a program to start crashing - even though the lazy functions were completely pure. We had a numeric counter that was enumerating the frame n
