Communications from these platforms look so absolutely unprofessional. Having gone through a dialog with a couple familiar names now publicly traded it's strange watching the amateur hour that is this train wreck of dated, half-baked t

Useful, accurate article. Sometime in 2020 I started using Brave as my default browser on the suggestion of a more-privacy-concerned engineer and it definitely saves a lot of resources over Chrome. I was tethering via my phone most of the t

Discord is like having a conversation in a loud, popular pub between happy hour ending and business peaks. Some people love it. I imagine it relates to how much hearing loss and the depth of interaction desired. Github's various featur

This is like asking why does entropy exist. Because that's the way it works. Add economic incentives that don't correlate with maintaining quality and that pattern is accelerated. Look at healthcare in the States for an example. O

Our (the US) government, primarily the law making arm Congress, has been dysfunctional for so long it erodes various functions of society. For examples look at how the US doesn't have Federal bank accounts for individuals, or expanded

Has there been notable effort around improving the effectiveness of this process? From a distance it appears to be a waste of time. I'm making assumptions--that primarily makes guesses and significant assumptions about the range of tho

Without more information this mindset is stuck where the web platform was maybe a decade or more ago. Roughly a dog or cat lifetime. Consider the list APIs at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API

the difference is in the measure of fair competition; anyone can compete, it simply can't be unfair; these tech companies are competing unfairly and to the extent it's not only obvious to participants, it's obvious to governm

Do we have the same concerns with Samsung being nestled so close to the mainland and North Korea? I myself don't imagine they'd do so well without US support either. If we're talking geopolitics, if Taiwan falls then frankly

Apple contracts TSMC for their silicon in Taiwan, not China; some of the larger older operations are in mainland China but I understand that's the extent of it and only applies to the auto industry so the trade tensions don't impa

software engineering is decades behind other engineering disciplines; it's in the phase of elixirs, etc; that's why it's "so hard" because the industry is optimized around various insular self-reinforcing patterns;

TSMC is in the process of installing foundries in both the US and Japan. Imagine where we'd be if they weren't in existence. And how many decades they've been doing their thing. What a stupid assertion around risk. The WSJ sh
