What kind of answer would you expect to a question like that? I couldn't tell you how much time and money I save writing in a programming language instead of raw machine code but I can rest assured that it's the right call.

I feel like the elephant in the room here is that their back end was in RoR before Next.js and remained that way the entire time. They then switched from next.js to a framework designed, in part, with RoR in mind. It seems unsurprising that

I am not a lawyer but this sounds absurd. Even if everything in here were true it seems irrelevant to their non profit status. There are issue based non profits that do nothing but publishing information with an ideological slant. There is

From the video it doesn't really seem like tar pit ideas are about technical limitations but more about solving the wrong problem. I don't think the ideas you list are tar pit ideas at all. The value proposition for all of these t

Even if this were true it doesn't necessarily mean it will translate into stock performance. Expected growth is priced in to the current stock price. Also there are lots of "computing power" companies that are not doing too h

It was interesting reading this exchange. I have a similar understanding of DI to you. I have never even heard of a DI framework and I have trouble picturing what it would look like. It was interesting to watch you two converge on where the

I agree that the core problem of housing affordability is that housing serves a dual role as an investment and a place to live. But I think this policy will not do very much and in isolation would even be counterproductive. Why focus on sin

This is interesting and they make some good observations but I can't help but think the deck was stacked against them because they are trying to come up with a technical/business solution to what is fundamentally a political probl

Genuine question because I agree that there are a lot of over complicated systems. I often see people say all you need is SQLite. Do you implement replication yourself? Or you are just accepting that if something happens to your server your

Can you say more? What are you doing specifically? I use AI for some things (mostly assisting with software development) and I have had a wildly different experience. I have used ChatGPT o1 and made some icons for internal apps so our emplo

I don't take their explanation at face value. I think you very well could be right in your analysis here. It is more interesting to me that actual targeting is based on trade imbalance. They could easily have used the same rhetoric and

Talking about the merits of these tariffs kind of misses the point. The person who wrote this article is very smart. I am sure they are smarter than I am. He has produced a pretty solid analysis of trade policy. But in articles like this pe

I'm in no way an expert but stuff like this is fascinating to me. A lot of our perceptions about intelligence are informed by human intelligence because it's the only example we have a strong grasp on. Having independent examples

To be clear I am 100% fine with billboard bans. I live in a billboard ban state and it's great. I was talking about the proposed complete ban of all advertising of any kind.

There are definitely a lot of problems with advertising and I am all for regulating them but this seems like such an extreme response. As someone who has worked for smaller organizations (both for profit and nonprofit) without some form of

Trade surplus is not sufficient to analyze the issue here. It is about commitment. What you want is something closer to the probability that the trade surplus will lead to a policy change. Even if it is true that the average Chinese citizen

by morsecodist 2y ago
If you assume the US tariffs are unchangeable then you would be right but the hope of retaliatory tariffs is that they will get the US to update it's tariffs in response to the economic harm caused. It will also harm China of course bu

This is great timing. I am in the process of designing an event/workflow driven application and nothing I looked at felt quite right for my use case. This feels really promising. Temporal was close but it just felt like not the perfect

This is really cool. I agree with your point that a human would also struggle to book a flight for someone but what I take from that is conversation is not the best interface for picking flights. I am not really sure how you beat a list of

I am a bit confused by this. Typically when you make a breaking change it is because the call site has to make a new sort of decision so you may not want all calls to be refactored the same way and there is no way of determining which you w

To me web development is the one place where I do feel like there's a lot that "just works". If I had to make a native mobile app I would feel overwhelmed and confused. I wonder if this really just comes down to familiarity.

I am a big fan of YIMBY-ism but I think your points here are fair. This is a controversial take among YIMBYs but I think the benefits of ADUs are oversold. Of course I am all for allowing them if that is all we can do but the idea of the AD

I do YIMBY advocacy and this sounds policy change sounds like a good thing but I am always struck that our zoning is so restrictive that when people come up with different styles of housing it requires a law change and we talk about it like

I don't think it is absurd to reason about individual contributions, just to focus on measuring them with metrics. I have been on the management side as well though I admit I am much more of an IC. But the way I think that should go is

The idea of measuring individual developer productivity is kind of absurd to me. I'm not saying that what we do is magic, there are just so many variables. Measuring story points or lines of code is kind of the opposite of productivity

Of course people are free to run their cafe however they like and if they succeed I am happy for them. The article mentions that originally it was a business decision for the example cafe they are focusing on and I think that is the root of
