You're getting downvoted because you're retreating into philosophical nihilism rather than actually addressing the points. If you disagree with how people interpret the studies, the studies themselves, or how science measures real

I'm just not quite sure why "speed" is what be js bundlers are selling themselves on. We have a number of fast bundlers already, so that's not what's taking my time. DevEx is the real selling point for me, and that

Onerous regulations and process are a huge part of the problem. I looked into building a small apartment complex with a local developer in the city. It was zoned well, but the entire surrounding neighborhood had dirt roads. After talking wi

Yeah, it's definitely not a perfect solution. Portland, OR has tried a housing first policy. However, there weren't enough available houses, so that requires to build them. That's lead to years of people still being homeless

(Replying to your latest comment.) I meant 'colluding to flag' by brigading - same as what the other commenter was interested in. That you haven't seen much evidence of a change is actually really nice to hear and a bit surpr

Thanks for explanations! I'm really curious if it looks like brigading has increased based on what your seeing in the data, or if this looks like roughly the same patterns you've seen historically. I assumed that brigading had inc

Fair - maybe there was a little name calling. But, I agree it was deserved.

I thoroughly enjoyed the post and thought your tone was appropriate, entertaining, and kind of kethartic. You didn't call them names, engage in ad hominem, or do anything click-batey. You were understandably irritated at how they talke

That's not true. Many government positions and rules require different levels/types of clearance. E.g. the DoD and DHS have entirely different clearances managed by different organizations. The DoD funds so much scientific researc

That feels more like bashing Redux or one of the state management libraries. That's where I've seen a lot of complexity sneak in.

You should check out Radix UI ( https://www.radix-ui.com/ ). Same idea as headless ui, but it doesn't assume that you will use Tailwind. I _think_ they add css classes to all of their components to allow you to choose an

I appreciate the links. I think this quote from the FAQ captures the disconnect for me: ``` This isn't about rejecting modern development - it's about recognizing that browsers now offer sophisticated capabilities that eliminate t

I've also been developing web apps since the days of jQuery and Flash. I think there are some interesting kernels here (in particular, emphasizing how much browsers have evolved), but the post brings up older architectures as better (M

Yeah, I was expecting something bigger and more explicit when he went after tailwind. Instead, the author just re-hashed older design patterns (MVC and semantic html decorations from css) without providing context add to when and why you

A deterministic uuid based off of a hash of bits is also very useful (UUID5). I've used that for deduping records from multiple sources

Super cool idea! What are you doing to ensure consistent results based on the input? E.g. - does the AI perform the same trades given the same input? - does the AI perform the same trades given slightly different inputs? (E.g. same data, bu

I reread the books multiple times. I was actually pretty impressed with how well they cast each character. Which is impressive because I think that's one of the hardest things to do. But, the dialogue and storytelling were terrible. Th

If you don't mind me asking, do you have any cues or techniques that you use to help differentiate between a delusion and something real? Or are the kind of delusions you have consistent to the point where you've already categoriz

Cosmic Crisp is a new varietal that seems like a solid successor to honey crisp. It seems like they started in a cooler climate (I first encountered them in northern Oregon), and they're fantastic.

I've honestly been pretty happy with it. It gives developers the ability to push back on shirt practices with "do you want to lose access to the European market?" Having that in the tool belt is very handy

That doesn't seem like it applies here. The argument is that "expert consensus has consistently said a thing", which is a very reasonable stance to take. The default would be to assume the scientific consensus is correct, the

Are you folks planning on more first class postgres support? From the outside, it really seems like forcing MongoDB into the orm has forced a pretty watered down experience for the main orm (I.e. not typed SQL). I don't know if it&#x27

Honestly, I hated Prisma for a while. I've tried to actively rip it out of multiple projects. But, typed queries + views being supported have rally started to change my mind. Prisma is great for basic CRUD operations, and those two fea

I use o1 for research rather than coding. If I have a complex question that requires combining multiple ideas or references and checking the result, it's usually pretty good at that. Sometimes that results in code, but it's the re

This is super cool! One suggestion for the blog: I would put "re-imagines vector embeddings as database indexes. It's not literally an index but it functions like one to update embeddings as source data gets added, deleted or chan

It seems pretty clearly spelled out. If you have enough traffic that an events table is slowing down your postgres instance, you can easily set this up as a service to offload the events table. The author says <1 million MAUs, and you pr
