I also enjoy the simplicity of JS. Pros: * Being single threaded makes concurrency simple. No need to think about mutex/semafor/channel/etc. * Everything is a pointer so no debate on whether to use pointer vs value for variab

Do you have any examples where prettier code is much less readable? I haven't really ran into that issue and have been very happy with prettier.

I’m also curious what he meant by that statement. By leading does he mean most used?

The main benefit of something like River is simplicity. With River your application might consist of two components, a database, and a code server. Such an architecture is really easy to test, develop, debug and deploy. Adding temporal.io

The case for Sam is the success of OpenAI while Sam was CEO. If the status quo is wild success, then keeping the status quo is a good thing.

Are engineers compensated with cash? I wonder if the Sam Altman version of OpenAI is more lucrative for employees than the alternative OpenAI. So as a result of the recent changes, there is an employee exodus to places with greater compen

It's a win because it means no build step. You could also say that JSX is a custom, non-standard DSL.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Are people penalized in some way for a history of mis-spending their money? For example, an individual who could afford a loan in theory, but gambles away all their money at a casino and misses loan payments.

On web, an HTML first approach in many cases can mean a better user experience. Whether to use an HTML first approach or something heavier like React depends on the product being built.

Building websites with React also has its pitfalls and using React means introducing a lot of complexity. If you aren't already using NodeJS on the backend, it's probably best to avoid ReactJS unless it's actually necessary.

Most anything built with php or traditional SSR pages follows these concepts to some extent.

I've noticed this at companies I've worked at. Either at the team level, org level, or even the company level. I've observed it from White, Chinese and Indians. I think there's just a human tendency of in group bias.

Github Copilot has been really valuable to me and has had meaningful, positive impact on my life. Crypto hasn't made me more productive in any way. To me, it's had the same utility as an online casino.

I agree on Airbnb for big groups. If it's just me or me + a few others, I think regular hotels work best!

Seems like a good idea to me. It's upsetting to me to see life-crippling drugs like fentanyl consumed in public areas.

I agree, but shoplifting is on the rise and becoming so prevalent that it is hurting normal law abiding citizens. I'm not sure what it is, but more should be done to deter shoplifting.

I agree, but also feel like part of the purpose of prison is to make an example out of the criminal and deter others from committing the same crime.

Then I'm tightly coupling all my code to this library. I would prefer to write javascript like normal and not import a library anytime I author a function.

I really like lambda for all my personal projects. Linux virtual machine means paying a monthly fee. For me Lambda is free. Main benefit I see to Linux machine is not having to deal with deprecated run times. With lambda every few years,

How so? Lambdalith means simpler, faster deployments, and easier to run locally.

by meowtimemania 3y ago
In most cases I prefer monolithic lambda functions. It means faster deploys, and it's easier to reason about. I create separate lambdas only when I have some large dependency that can be easily be separated from the rest of the applic

I'd prefer an api like this: const [result, error] = attempt(() => someFunc()); This way you don't have to wrap all your functions.

Jeff Bezos' Dad is an example of a refugee to billionaire story. He came to the USA as a refugee and eventually became a billionaire by investing 245k in what would become Amazon.

Of course it helps. I just think it's overly reductive to reduce something extraordinary to a single investment. Many businesses receive much more investment and fail.

I feel like the tweet author is of the belief that there is no such thing as extraordinary ability, only extraordinary privilege, and that nothing can be done to change one's lot in life. Miguel Bezos (Jeff Bezos's father) was a r
