None of the product managers in those companies you cited are paid to stay the heck out of features that's already working. They are paid to scale those features, add more usecases and re-shuffle the design so that all the latest use

Yuvi used to be my senior in school. I never got to interact with him directly, but he was one of the finest computer whiz of the entire school. When later I got into programming I hit an "advanced beginner" wall and was wondering

This paper has been repeatedly quoted by the far right of India on how one of the elitist ways of doing something is superior and ahead of time. I saw another comment here which linked to a specific instance of usage. I know the author&#x27

For context of Non-Indians: though ancient, there is little evidence Sanskrit ever was a common spoken language among laymen. It was the language primarily used for religious purposes. It was/is a language of high culture and political

Author here. This looks like a very useful perspective to have! i.e CRDTs with unresolved conflicts as part of the model with composable properties. Can you talk a bit more on this stuff? Like with a basic example maybe? Thanks!

Makes sense. Ranged deletes might be key to handle rich-text table mutations. Seph, thanks for showing up. Author here. This write-up is just a generalization I've landed on, while thinking about the nature of another problem: handling

I believe this is just the start. The more businesses move to SaaS models, automation takes a different shape as well, i.e automation scripts involving business objects within/outside the system. Most systems call them "custom sc

About heuristic #2: An interesting contrast comes to mind. Sometimes the right thing ends up being comfortable too. The problem with such a situation is, people use this heuristic to justify that the thing isn't right because it is too

Smartwork and 10x is bullshit. There is time when you are able to be in the zone for hours vs times when you are just not able to focus for more than a few minutes. If you really want to increase your productivity optimize for prolonged foc

As an indie software maker it frustrates me when I have to pay 50$ dollars to have a decent cloud server setup to run my apps. Yes there are 5$ shared vm-s, but I want a decent enough ram and cores to lift my load. And a 4gb ram and 4 core

Very true. People discriminate against dynamic languages with usually two measurements: runtime errors and performance. But we often overlook the fact that it's possible to scale those two, incrementally. With today's convenience

This is the reason I have a couple of monitors lying uselessly on my table. Everytime I connect an external monitor, it makes the GPU go crazy and overheats the Macbook enough to summon this kernel_task demon. Couldn't comprehend why o

All of these requirements does make sense, in the context of contract management. Do check Zoho Contracts - https://www.zoho.com/contracts/ It has all of your stated problems solved and comes with a fair cost.

Even though I'm not a beginner now, I could guess, seeing an array that contains a magic function at its nth index (useState), which could mutate n-1 th index, would have baffled the life out of me. Maybe beginners these days are not m

Ah, we meet again! Good morning Joseph:) Let me be specific. I agree trees(or json) in general can have a fixed set of general purpose ops. This particular paper though, the author claims changing the type of a record struct is itself an op

Also, what happens if the structure was edited in some other editor and you suddenly get two structures with no history to compare against?

Yes but try running a couple of servers with a decent amount of ram say 4GB and we’d notice how the cost goes exponential. Point being running a couple of servers with a decent ram and a decent amount of storage shouldn’t cost 50$. It sho

As much as I like to have something else leading this market other than AWS (I hate them for several reasons, but insensitive billing plans, cockpit like interface and lock-in services are the top ones), I'd also hate to see Cloudflare
