Being a complete cynical bastard here but I sometimes feel like these calculators are actually meant to obfuscate and confuse and the result is that a startup worried about scale is going to pay over the odds and then deal with ‘rightsizing

Isn't this a variation on a theme? A lot of current unrest revolves around people feeling ignored and unrepresented because of the global aspirations of tech and government.

It's hit and miss, for the same reason Google is (and increasingly more so). If you try and search for 'langchaingo' then you might get lucky if you add enough into the query to say you're working with go, but otherwise

Anything except ApiDock which always seems to take precedence in Google over the official documentation (albeit for Rails) and is almost never what you’re looking for.

I believe it’s going to become counter productive sooner than anyone might think, and in fairly frustrating ways. I can see a class of programmers trading their affinity with the skill for a structurally unstable crutch. I was using Perplex

In TS you can have two types, say: type A = { a: string; b: string } type B = { a: string; b: string; c: string } If you created a new object like this: { a: “foo”, b: “bar”, c: “baz” } It would satisfy both type A an

In many countries in Europe, your ID card contains a chip with a cryptographic key, much like chip&pin on a debit or credit card. Those bits of information are worthless when you need to create a cryptographic signature with your ID car

That’s some good news that will hopefully smooth json handling out.

You might like Zig too. The C interop is amazing. Last time I checked you could use Zig to just compile C straight up.

If I had one complaint, it’s the use of ‘tags’ to configure how json is handled on a struct, such that it basically becomes part of the struct’s type. It can lead to a fair bit of duplication of structs whose only difference is the json han

I’m not 100% sold on the idea that Go’s defaults are sane. They’re highly opinionated and not really that intuitive.

I wonder if Spike Jonze realised how accurate his near-future prediction would be with Her. Except AI wearable compananies don't realise the AI wearable was a flip phone propped up by a safety pin in a shirt pocket. (the video on that

What makes this attractive to me is the ‘database branching’ functionality and simple setup for it. Managing databases locally and in CI isn’t much fun when dealing with migrations, so the fact you can trivially work with a copy in a branch

There is no single canonical suite of best practices. There is also nothing harmful or unharmful about the length of a function or the lines of code in a file. Different languages have their opinions on how you should organise your code but

If you're getting into that kind of paranoia, you might as well just buy burner laptops that use burner 5G SIMs, and go fully stateless. Considering you, as a person, are stateful, the strategy will inevitably fail and you'll be c

Circular problem I think, considering a lot of the garbage is a product of SEO and exists solely to game Google’s increasingly poor ranking algorithm.

I noticed TF has JS examples in the docs now. I haven’t looked but if it has the same problem as CDK, where you have to shoehorn declarative concepts into an imperative language, you still end up having to write weird code to work around th

I knew someone a while back who worshipped the ground AWS stepped on, and thought CloudFormation and CDK was the best thing since sliced bread. I honestly couldn’t see where they were coming from. CF is awful to work with, even more awful w

Reminds me a bit of the Surface Dial. Really liked that concept even if I’d never have the sort of setup that would benefit from it.

These prisons are privately operated for-profit ventures and society does not benefit from the enrichment of the prison-industrial complex, and in fact it can be argued that it is a net loss to society because these businesses depend on a s

It's similar in concept to 'in power'. The government holds office, rather than it being in power. It's more to say that the power isn't derived from the government itself, but the office they are elected into. Ever

This has been the strategy of every political party to hold office in the UK for as long as I've been alive. There is always some privacy-defeating 'online safety' bill going through the parliament. Every time it gets knocked

The Messy Middle by Scott Belsky describes the fall of Behance, the fall of Adobe’s perpetual licensing, and the rise of their cloud subscription offering. I wonder what he thinks about all that in hindsight, putting the many millions he ma

There are plenty of libraries out there, like VCR, that can set up a test and then save the response for future test runs. You don't really have to renew them that often either. That was always the go-to for me when testing against 3rd
