Sure not everyone who bought the game or a ship at this stage has enjoyed it, but a lot of us have. Even in its unfinished state there’s a lot of fun to be had. And, part of the game at this stage is watching it develop. The amount raised&#

Releasing code to prod is the end of the feedback loop, until then you have possibly working software. The long you wait until release, the less likely it will work as you expect. You don’t need to release to users, that can happen later. E

Not running arbitrary code is a feature, that yarn brings back to the js ecosystem. It sounds nice in theory, but it impacts the soundness of the whole system.

Anecdotally, I continue to see friend groups form where near all of them are neurodivergent without knowing it. Because their brains work differently, when they find someone else whose brain works in a similar way it’s less effort to spend

If you’re prescribed amphetamines they shouldn’t be getting you high.

Generally speaking, harm reduction. With full knowledge of what could happen (because effects are often not uniform), and with the right care and support I would think it can be done ethically. Look at the trials of using LSD/mushrooms

Stimulants don’t have the same effect on everyone, and this attitude is incredibly dismissive of those who need these medications to function. They’re a controlled drug for a reason, abusing them can have negative long term effects especial

It’s probably not a coincidence the other place I’ve seen this technique was also for archiving a feed of fires. It that case the data was about 250gb when fully uncompressed, and IIRC under a gig when stored as a git repo. It’s a really n

I think the comments here are missing the point. Each of the items on the list are things you or someone else in an organisation does in good faith. That is why these work. When you do them in bad faith, you can stretch the timelines for th

There’s a good chance this is realised within 5 years, built on WebAssembly. While it’s not on the metal performance like native compilation, it’s close. I wouldn’t be surprised to see CPU instructions for WASM to get to native performance,

I wonder if Apple's self-service repair program is sufficient for this? I do like the idea of user-replaceable batteries, but I don't miss the build quality and size of those devices with easily accessible batteries.

There’s nothing of substance here for why it should be ridiculed, other than the authors fear Apple has the ability to bring VR to the mainstream. But hasn’t Oculus/Meta Quest sold something like 20 million units? > Stop this future

The more I think about this, the more convinced I am that I want a browser that functions like an IDE. Multiple panes with tabs, that can be resized either to custom sizes or automatically (binary space partitioning). It’s too much for a ge

But, by omission is reads that Prime Video rebuilt their stack without serverless and got a 90% cost reduction. This post is going to pick up a lot of traction and I suspect these comments are going to bikeshed monolith vs microservices for

If I’m fully engaged with a device a touch screen is great, especially when that device needs to do more things than you could reasonably make physical controls for. But when I’m driving and need to adjust something, I don’t want to disconn

As someone with ADHD, I’ve found the key thing is to learn what level of stimulation your brain needs for certain tasks. Too much, over-stimulation, and you’ll find your focus being pulled in multiple directions to a point of confusion, fru

This makes sense. You don’t start woodworking by cutting a hardwood timber to length by eye with a circular saw. You get familiar with the basics like a hand saw, tape measure, and some soft wood like balsa. You’re first vehicle was _probab

As much as I’ve been loving Rust, there’s no doubt it’s a hard but rewarding journey to learn it. Go on the other hand, is a language I’m still confident I can teach a junior enough to be useful in an afternoon. The restraint shown by the G

It’s all cyclical. Before React two-way-binding of data, known today as Signals, was the way we did things. Angular is probably the best example from the pre-react time of that. React came along with a philosophy of one-way-binding also kno

Down in Melbourne, Australia it’s regularly 5-10 degrees wrong. It’s like they got a 7 day forecast, and never updated it. Something must have happened this year, because it used to be very accurate. Now, if if you want accurate weather (do

A lot of things could also potentially compromise a long-lived build server, to the point where it’s better not to be long lived. If it’s not practical to use a fresh machine/vm/container/function for each build, at least rot

It has lasted as a project. Are you saying that no library should try to improve their performance, internals or API? There was many versions of jQuery. I remember the days of hacking Drupal to load multiple versions because it shipped with

I’ve been around this space for over a decade. Software that’s easy to change, tends to outlive the rest. React has more staying power than almost any other JS library I’ve seen. And they’ve maintained backwards compatibility on par with Wi

So far I’ve found copilot is like a weather forecast. The shorter the prediction the higher probability of it being correct. The longer, and more complex the prediction the less likely it’s all correct. But, with a close review you can spot

The suggestions in this thread are decent, but I haven’t seen a mention of prioritising what you know. What’s your goal? If as you mention you have an app to prototype and you want that prototype as fast and simple as possible, then you can

In useEffect your code runs at a specific point, where it’s safe to bridge react to the outside world. It’s not about breaking the rules, as much as you have the ability to cause and react to side effects (eg a fetch promise) and inform rea
