I remember being astonished at the time of Netlify's rise that someone had the audacity to compete with (a slice of) Amazon S3, and heartened to see what looked like success (usage). Alas, it seems it was a zero interest mirage, and th

The e2ee is opt-in, so that might be how they comply with subpoenas. I like that it's on all the platforms I am.

Because they use Emacs? Let's say you are an org-mode user but write Typescript for your day job, and want to make a new plugin. This lets you do that with the language in which you are most proficient.

Not only did panarky clearly dispute intent to steal, they specifically said that there's a lot of evidence of intent to help people: "There is a lot of evidence that he intended to maximize trading profits and use those profits t

The last sentence is literally "The fact that he failed does not mean that he intended to steal from the rich ". The commenter was very clearly disputing SBF's _intent_ to steal. _You_ may doubt his good intentions for that

This guy has a huge persecution complex, remember how he reacted to a largely positive press profile that was going to publish his name?

Only ironic to those whose concept of "freedom" is "private and enclosed".

True, but probably not from inside. They were circulating that to raise funds.

I think _fat_santa was referring to the earlier period when the fraud began, but of course this call shows that most of them did not know. Some did and knowingly participated in the fraud. Some knew about this or other shady practices and l

You would be very surprised. Infra people can very easily spend the vast majority of their (non-ops) time in the REPL from hell, manually editing static configuration files, visually inspecting (because there is rarely any local let alone s

YAML 1.2 removed some of the footguns like having five different ways of expressing `true`, but the main Python YAML package is permanently 1.1. strictyaml is an attempt at tightening things further. But a lot of systems that use "yaml

I've used the Remeda package to preserve type information in pipes in Typescript: https://remedajs.com/ . There may be better implementations (fp-ts?), but I like Remeda's docs.

Yep, there's new evidence that one of Ariely's frequent (honesty research) collaborators (Gino) was falsifying their data too https://datacolada.org/109

Is anybody else wary of a new grammar with no transformer available to/from anything more common (e.g. json/xml)? I did find [this][1] tree-sitter parser, so that's a start, but it seems like writing these would be a lot easi

I was confused by the terminology shift for the Technology sentiment questions in this year's survey. My read on it is that "Admired" is equivalent to previous years' "Loved" metric, whereas "Desired"

We can keep the districts—which people seem to like—and get rid of the easily-rigged elections by: - establishing multi-member districts - electing those members via a proportional (e.g. party list) or semi-proportional (e.g. ranked choice)

I read this as "type inference _in_ Scratch" and thought: that language for kids is getting pretty sophisticated!

I've used both for similar amounts of time at this point. I know a _lot_ about the implementations details of MySQL, and a helluva lot less about PostgreSQL, and that's because I hit _way_ more landmines with MySQL. It's just

It's strange to me that the neolib position is that we should have a universal basic income, that automation portends the end of work for all but a highly specialized creative and managerial class, but also that the retirement age shou

I've similarly enjoyed Remeda for first-class Typescript support, though I don't know it intimately and it is a much smaller project.

I'm very interested in giving it a try once it has a tree-sitter grammar (already has a Jetbrains plugin and LSP, but I'm trying to be conservative).

Right, most of the risks incurred by corporations are socialized, due to various limitations on financial and criminal liability granted to shareholders, officers and managers.

I like the idea, maybe I'll try it soon. I've recently been using asdf-direnv, configured to switch environments once, manually, and so taking shims out of the $PATH. Definitely giving up a bit of the magic for speed, so not sure

I get that you don't like sarcasm (disagree, but to each his own), but how is the comment that I replied to more "respectful"? They dismissed out of hand the entire intellectual exercise of the original post because it doesn&
