Sideshows continue to be gross even in the rare cases where there’s plausible consent.

Just want to say well done. I’ve played with this with Tamagui[0] and I’d love to see this stack continue to develop. Specifically, I think there’s a rare window of opportunity to replicate the new Expo router file system routes exactly in

I don’t think you have the capability to understand this thread. I’m talking about virtual meetings specifically, and then adding a note about why it’ll never be generally popular like we see smartphones only because someone replied with th

And they weren’t as popular then. They also were unobtrusive in the ways that matter - you could walk around and talk while doing other things. David Foster Wallace has a whole thing on this in IJ that really captures it well, where even co

Phones work because they are so simple, unobtrusive and easy to position and use contextually. They are the argument against VR.

People just won’t put on world-occluding headsets to talk to cartoons, end of the day. Only in bubble-land does this pass the smell test imo.

You’ve made up three things, each without convincing rhetoric let alone evidence, and then put QED at the end.

I get it, but it means you end up with the arbitrary and limited API that you’d mostly only use for the benefits at the edge, except now you aren’t at the edge and still have all the limitations.

Reddit r/peptides and r/nootropics like a lot of these substances. Also u/Misteryouaresodumb of NootropicsDepot is a wealth of knowledge. There’s a long tail of YouTube and other sources you’ll find from there.

DurableObjects? It's a totally arbitrary API that's non portable and definitely not easily replaced. And once you opt out of db there's a lot less reason for the whole thing.

They are complex, expensive, locked in, partially closed source, and not nearly close to complete solutions. It’s a shiny thing, but at the cost of so much DX and optionality which is a worrying general trend with edge stuff.

> that he only cheated twice overall I don’t think he claimed “twice overall” as in “twice exactly”, to be fair, just within a period of time.

The original comment may have it backwards but the idea/outcome is the same, their point stands. Still good to note the Gov messages what’s in their interest at the expense of individuals.

Sweet, this is my exact setup which I love for the simplicity to power ratio. Will check it out.

Adam, we hung way back I was working on an on device search tool called Orbit that could’ve used Ultralight, I think at bespoke. Been keeping tabs on it since, congrats on the release. The steps WebKit have made the last few years have been

But again it’s not uncommon to believe your opponent is chasing a card especially in this case - straight and flush draw and the straight is below your top card. If it’s a straight draw they have, you know you have them beat. And going all

Nice signup flow. Just tonight I was wanting GFN-GAN + a more light/noise/color cleanup ML model combined to restore old photos. Gluing a couple together would be super useful.

I totally agree you have to differentiate and avoid replication as much as you can as a startup in general, but this conversation is mixing awkwardly two discussions now. In context I was pushing back on the idea that cloning it to any comp

If by clone you mean clone of Yelp the day it launched, with basically no data, maybe. Wrong twice - Product is half the battle, and it’s not easy. The bare minimum to compete would be native and web apps with good UX, competitive reviews a

Clickbait title * 1000. As someone who is building a “Yelp clone” of sorts, this amounts to about 1/1,000,000,000 of the amount of work to actually build a Yelp clone. I get that this could be helpful for absolute beginners who just wa

Yea they specifically are talking about the bad areas not all of Chicago (working off the "those parts" I mentioned in the first sentence).

Not true in the least. In Asia the pattern is clear: tough on crime has lower crime (Japan, Singapore, Korea), but of course there's so many confounding things there. Central and South America and Africa are notorious for having weak p

It’s stronger than that: you can’t say it didn’t work at all. Using the same rigor you can say they didn’t do enough! Unless you have extremely broad meta studies, and you don’t, saying it didn’t work is just personal skew.
