This looks great. I do yearn for a day though when we're using something like Marimo over Jupyter as a default for these kinds of things. Particularly in GIS where there's more utility in being able to use a notebook-like interfac

Calling hooks "traditional" in relation to signals seems fine, lest that word be relegated in time to whatever you in particular care about at this juncture. I'm sure some 80 year olds before us thought the same of us using t

I'm not discounting the philosophy, just the language. I don't mean to sound blithe. If I do, it's not out of indifference but out of active determination that these kinds of terminological boundary disputes quickly veer into

I'm not even taking for granted what it means . Can you define it in a way that your neighbor will independently arrive at? It's an incredibly lossy container for whatever meaning that people will want to pack it with, moreso tha

Whether LLMs are "intelligent" seems a wholly uninteresting distinction, resembling the internet ceremony surrounding whether a hotdog is a sandwich. There's probably very interesting discussion to be had about hotdogs and LL

I'll die on this hill. Google Sheets was phenomenal for prototyping apps and getting quick feedback from users back when I used it in 2015-2020. Back then they had this janky implementation of Mozilla Rhino underpinning their "App

I mostly agree with comments here saying this is kind of silly to malign Google for. I'm grateful for the piece regardless if only to inform me that the service exists (and, well — now doesn't for some countries).

I must admit I don't understand this critique. I barely use a pointing device at all to navigate Gnome—mice included. Supposing I did, the only hamburger menus I can think of contain lesser-important functions of each app, like seeing

In-person "debate" is probably a really bad vehicle for truth-finding to begin with. Surely if disagreement emerges about something: it makes sense to "debate" in some sense of the word. But only insofar as that's i

Whether it is or isn't seems immaterial if you're of the opinion that government should step in to solve issues where the market has proved ineffective. If it's the case that market participants have an imperative to convince

> It doesn't address the risk of gentrification and displacement This is a puzzling critique because it seems very much in the wheelhouse of "abundance YIMBYism" to advocate for cheaper housing--an argued byproduct of whic

Kagi and Orion both entered public beta at the same time[1]. Even if they didn't: it kind of seems unfair to indict this as an additional ambition. It's not as though browsers and search engines have an exotic relationship, and th

Re: #2 I've never really challenged that text is a suitable stand-in for important bits of reality. I worry instead about meta-limitations of text: can we reliably scale our training corpus without accreting incestuous slop from other

Astro and Fresh were both inspired by the islands idea which was iirc coined by an Etsy frontend architect and further elaborated on by the creator of Preact. My understanding is that Astro is able to more-or-less take a component from an

I suppose in some sense, but how is this sadder than the reality that we're not all doped up on space cocaine? A desirable (practical) reality would seem to stem not just from first order effects now, but also in summation of all the c

May I ask why? It's expressly the intention of democracies to hear from constituents (and conversely: groups of constituents). That we happen to call that feedback loop "lobbying", and that the term carries some societal bagg

This seems unreasonably dismissive. Spitballing as to why: * "Fedora-based" was skipped over. Or it wasn't, but you intuited something else from that term, maybe without the backdrop of Fedora's bootable containers or uB

It's a project whose intended audience is the EU, with (hopeful) eventual EU adoption. It seems not worse than e.g an American activist labeling their initiative "The American ________ Project". It's perhaps misleading h

There has to be something cosmically funny and tragic about the number of respondents here ascribing some sort of failure to the hosting company. God bless those among us who steal the candy bowl at Halloween.

I wonder if they keep this after Trump's gone, especially for countries whose tariffs were high before Trump. I as a customer would prefer they did. My uninformed guess is that this hurts the bottom line in at least the short term if c
