Can you prove it? Do you have any proof that Twitter promotes right leaning views more than left leaning ones? "When You’re Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression" Twitter was discriminating against right leaning

The guy isn't sending the company 50 years back. I come from a post-communist country which had a lot of censorship. It was happening 50 years ago as well (it was happening since the end of 40s to the end of 80s). Call me sensitive. ;)

Social media are not publishers. They are way more public squares, but online. On top of that, even when publishers usually curate content, there is no obligation to do so. It's just something that has been done, because publishing use

Most of this is automatically provided in those classic MVC frameworks like Rails or Django.

I am not stuck in the past. I moved to Clojure and jumped to devstacks just like everyone else. Speaking of generative AI, I use and pay for v0 for frontend generation, tried Contember to generate backends from specification (the CEO is a g

It's not just 2 input boxes, unfortunately. It's also a backend part, adding sessions, requiring the user to be signed in. It is also sign out functionality. In MVC framework, you just annotate a bunch of controllers, import Sign

No, it's hyped by people like me, who were writing web applications more than 25 years ago. We want to do backend because a big part of frontend is complex for no good reason.

When you are writing web APPs, you don't have to move as much logic to client as possible. I was writing web apps in 1998, with table layouts, almost no CSS and no JS. Of course, it was simple. It was so simple you can't imagine h

I know, from a human rights point of view, this is very problematic. But imagine, if only people who can really understand written text, who can calculate, who understand how legal system works, who have basics of logic could vote. Of cours

This is a very cynical take. Companies are full of people. Those people want to do good things and want to help others. There are plenty of companies who sell vegetables, fruits, free-range eggs and beef, meal replacement shakes with full s

This policy would be too unrelated to health. You can have a sedentary person who works from home and orders takeaways. You can have a person who has a car who goes to gym 4 times per week, hikes during weekends and plays tennis 2 times per

Yes, but when you report about missteps of governments and members of ruling class, you can either frame it as: The system (democracy for example) is good, it's bad people doing it wrong. or The system is bad, it attracts, and it will

Your post looks a lot like: “Individuals have no rights except those given by the government.” Would you use the same logic for everything else?

Yes, but the bottom 50% of the world want to live like the top 50% no matter what will it do to the climate.

I am surprised there aren't more companies using a combination of Clojure + TerminusDB.

How exactly is this process supposed to happen? You have decision makers in organizations who aren't going to fire themselves. So existing companies' leaders aren't going anywhere. So if you are right, and if AI should replac

As a CEO who had to do some lay-offs, I would terminate loyal workers who care about the company the last, even if I had to change their focus. At a certain size when you know all people in the company, a CEO always know which 15 % of peopl

I think arguments against REST are more like arguments against one way how to implement REST API. When you look at PostgREST REST API, you will see you can select related data, you can pick what fields, so you don't underfetch or overf

It's my observation as someone who leads developers well over a decade. Development just got way more expensive, slower to get app-like feel. All this when >80% of pages in almost any webapp could be server-side rendered without big

Personally, I think the main problem with jQuery was .data instead of having proper state management. If we used jQuery just as a library and not the centre of everything without any layer above, we might be perfectly ok with it even now in

You could use the same argument for everything. Small "unless" and you are forced to make all your APIs generic because there might be many clients. Small "unless" and you'll ignore all power features of your databa
