Yeah I love the paternalistic “it’s for your own safety” arguments. > Why did my payment not go through? > Why was my comment removed? > Why is my binary flagged as malware? > Why did my app fail review? > Why is my 10yo acco

Good example of how security is counterintuitive. Another one from real life is how bank robbers often create misleading or blocking maneuvers such as setting a truck on fire, blocking road access to helicopter pads etc. But the epitome of

Right but that’s just digital infrastructure, and of course that will have positive side effects, no matter what role AI has in the future. Rail otoh is the infrastructure.

Right, because tooling is standardized in eg Go. There’s no custom build pipeline, transpilation hell, or experimental language features that are selectively enabled randomly. I’m not even against JS, like at all, and I think the majority o

I did a bunch of real world testing of my file transfer app[1]. Went in with the expectation that Quic would be amazing. Came out frustrated for many reasons and switched back to TCP. It’s obvious in hindsight, but with TCP you say “hey ker

You could run it on Cloudflare workers for free with plenty to spare. You get 5M reads/100k writes per day on D1. OTOH If you want managed Postgres it seems like you always have to pay a fairy high minimum.

I think OP is onto a good analogy but it feels somewhat strangely mapped. To me, life should be JavaScript. (And conversely, JavaScript is life?). Most things don’t have life. To me state management and aria style accessibility, keyboard ev

I’m increasingly of the opinion that TDD is only as good as your system is testable. This means that the time of writing your first test is too late. It’s part of the core business logic architecture – the whiteboard stage. If you can make

Not criticism, genuinely curious: why? I thought cabin air was exceptionally well cycled and filtered, much more so than other indoor spaces.

Used in WhatsApp on iOS the last frame didn’t stay, it seems to stop instantly and/or loop back to too early. IIRC I used 20 frames, 250ms between frame and 2500ms for the last one. Seems to have a similar problem on Telegram. Otherwis

One man’s idea is another man’s execution. It’s a useless phrase, in my experience, because there is nothing that determines the difference. For instance, was git a novel idea of applied distributed merkle trees or simply the existing idea

Not a fan of Wordpress and have no dog in the fight but managed platforms are not directly comparable, neither on the provider or user side of things. And if we’re talking about the future of web, managed commercial players are working hard

> Durable Objects map well to use cases where there actually are documents Right. I wouldn’t dispute this. This is akin to a file format from software back in the day (like say photoshop but now with multiplayer). What this means is that

Databases is an extremely slow-maturing area, similar to programming languages, but are all deviations from Postgres shiny and hipster? The idea of colocating data and behavior is really a quantifiable reduction in complexity. It removes

No doubt that discord has struck a good balance. Much better than GitHub imo. Both for maintainers to get a soft understanding of their users, and equally beneficial for users who can interact casually without being shamed for filing an iss

Not disagreeing but it’s important to point out that the US is a different beast because of the car and roadway dependency. In Europe a large part of the population lives in places easily reachable without a car. But in the US EVs are com

Yes but we overcome. We can do absolutely insane things like just large prime number testing, because of reasoning + tool use. Humans invent tools and wield them. Whether it's pen & paper to extend our memory, a horse to become str
