Most of the mainstream untyped languages are the "children of the 1990s", the era of a delusion that PC's can only get faster and that a computer is always plugged to a free power source. Then along came the iPhone that prohi

You probably don't. For the same reason you don't need a builder for writing Rust programs. You just write Rust programs.

For the browser and if you need only server-to-client sends, I assume SSE would be the best option. For other clients, such as mobile apps, I think long poll would be the simplest.

I don't think any of the methods give any significant advantage since in the end you need to maintain a connection per each client. The difference between the methods boils down to complexity of implementation and reliability. If you w

Can someone explain why TTL = 60s is a good choice? Why not more, or less?

tl;dr information asymmetry. Didn't read the entire text, just skimmed through. I think fundamentally the reason behind info asymmetry in our day and age is that products and services have become so much more complex that there's

You don't have full control over AI-generated images though, or not to the same extent producers have with CGI. There's a video on sora.com at the very bottom, with tennis players on the roof, notice how one player just walks &quo

Yes but a movie is a movie whereas these AI-generated videos will likely be used to replace stock footage in other (documentary, promotional, etc.) contexts

I think AI "art" can be as useful as the text generators, i.e. only within certain limits of dull and stupid stuff that needs to exist but has little to no value. For example, you need to generate a landing page for your boring co

That's an amazing performance, thanks for sharing! (Is it just me or the brass instruments are slightly out of tune? Though gives it a special charm since all of them are out of tune the same way)

If the goal of this article is to normalize abandoning your projects then I'm not so sure it's a good idea. All else aside it can be a horrendous waste of time and no amount of "at least I've learned something" can

I think it's mainly Telegram's native feel (and it is native on every platform it supports afaik). It's even in little trivial things like the rubber band effect on Apple's platforms, then in how smooth the loading of mi

The "I am different" show-off effect of the owners is definitely at play here. Musk could have come up with arbitrary but unusual design and still sold it.

Great article and I wish there were more of X for Y practitioners . In my "wanted" list: Kotlin for Swift practitioners , Rust for Swift practitioners .

No doubt about it, but the article is talking about a hypersuccessful megacompany (that manufactures 60% the world's microchips) compared to other megacompanies in tech. I'd also point out that we are talking about hardware which

Rewriting an app from UIKit to SwiftUI not only eliminates storyboards but also reduces the code base. So once again: you have code plus storyboard XML vs. just code that is smaller! My jaw dropped when I first discovered this while rewriti

There is one simple hard fact: shorter code is faster to read and understand, period. If someone doesn't understand what the result of `o != Unknown` is then they should probably go back and read more about programming. Sorry to sound

It's also great for e.g. feeding search results to a client (the list-as-you-type kind), however JSONL doesn't specify how to end a stream. You will have to come up with your own higher-level protocol that allows having an EOD rec

Why would it be though? Are they promising businesses to represent them in a fair manner on the Maps, or in Search for that matter?

I have a hypothesis that Google prioritizes businesses that are tied to Google somewhere somehow, for example their web site uses Google Analytics, or pays for ads, etc. This way, by promoting google-tied businesses they may (marginally) im

That's an amazing film though not easy to watch at first, it's 8 hours long. But yeah, full immersion and in a way eye-opening too.
