I don’t really see the value proposition of having a compilation step that also prioritises readability when you have source maps. I love Dart personally and I mostly see it’s compile to nonsense looking code as a feature not a bug because

I continue to maintain that despite all the nice features from ES6 onwards working in straight JavaScript is psycho shit. It’s the NFTs of development. I’m genuinely looking forward to the day where we have other viable options for the DOM.

That’s exactly where Flutter is heading in 2022 as far as I know dependent on WASM-GC becoming an actual thing but they already have a working compiler for it.

I’m only vaguely familiar with WASI so forgive me if this is a set of dumb questions. Would this mean that instead of complicated Ruby deployments where I need an app server, a Ruby runtime and a bunch of other magic that I could theoretica

I think we are moving quickly towards a future that no longer are businesses going to be able to just rely on random open source repos with unknown owners. That is going to hit some language stacks harder than other Node in particular comes

I moved to gRPC and protobufs for this exact reason. It’s so nice to work with.

Seems to have worked amazingly well based on all the times I recall reading the comments of stories posted here involving unions.

Yeah I seem to recall he also mentioned that as an approach.

Yeah when he lays out the arguments for it in the book you can clearly see why it makes a huge amount of sense. The usability, the performance, the value of a checksum etc…

I recently read a book by Google’s head guy on API design that was specifically about designing APIs and it had a big section on what makes a good identifier and why people reach for UUIDs and why specifically it is a problem on multiple le

Remember just a couple of years ago when you could get root access on a locked device without any kind of password [1] Honestly I’m not that convinced iOS is that much better. It’s reputation is so much better than it should be. The number

The theoretical model you are talking about here sounds ok at first glance but bares no resemblance to how it has played out in reality the last ten years. People are not rational actors no matter how much we want them to be. Turns out it’s

Probably a managed serverless offering. Not sure that sounds right for what the OP was suggesting though but in fairness I know almost zero about ML/AÍ kind of workloads.

You might have undiagnosed social anxiety disorder or something like that which causes you to internalise a lot of unhelpful stuff. The good part of that however is that there are already some good clinical approaches to that which seem to

Yeah no problems. So I mean this story itself is a good starting point. Kurtz prior to this was famously caught was caught stealing tax payers funds to bribe multiple groups including journalists, along with others. That is on top of his ot

What on earth are you talking about? Of course people can be mad at Apple specifically for the reasons already outlined: 1. This is a long term pattern of behaviour from them. 2. They promised they would fix it. While everyone seems to agre

We are blaming Apple for having a supply chain that meets no reasonable definitions of ok or appropriate. They promised us they would fix it and they didn’t. It appears they didn’t even try because all of the conditions outlined in this art

by mhoad 5y ago
Apple promised everyone they can fix it during earlier scandals. That was their claim to make. I think we are free to hold them accountable to that.

by mhoad 5y ago
Right. All of that is true and has been for years. It was famously true the first time they were caught in a situation like this. They chose not to do any of that.

Apple publicly promised everyone that the first time they were exposed as having terrible working conditions and major human rights issues in their supply chain that it would never happen again. They are the largest company in the world the

What exactly are you arguing here? I’m saying things are so bad that they KEEP making the news. Furthermore, I’m saying that last time this happened we were promised that they didn’t know and that this would never happen again. Yet, here we

It was the absolute bare minimum change that they thought (correctly it seems) that they could get away with. Dressing that up as progress hardly feels right. They could have solved all of this the first time around.

In such high numbers that you need dedicated anti suicide infrastructure? This very clearly isn’t some kind of regular workplace with otherwise reasonable conditions. What has been repeated described there over many years and many accounts

The last time they were in the news that I recall it was because workers were killing themselves in such large numbers that they decided installing “suicide nets” was the solution. Apple 1000% are capable of making sure that nothing like th
