Are we comparing web3 to FAANG or tcp/http/etc. As the article describes at a protocol level web3 is definitively not more open, it's more centralised as opens you to noisy neighbours. At the application level it may enable f

The basis of your understanding here is off. Describing ADHD as “just less cognitively capable” is harmful as you could confuse knowing things and doing things. People with ADHD often struggle with doing things (starting, switching or susta

It would be nice to be able to do this based on primary key/underlying partition. But I can see how technically it’s probably easiest to implement at the table level. Writes are priced higher, which means there’s probably a crossover p

To me it reads as a reasonably comprehensive overview of Topres. It may or may not be an ad, but the question of the article is one I’d expect someone discovering mechanical keys to ask at some point. Topre’s are different to the typical ch

The whole post shows the author hasn't fully understood what GraphQL actually is, and why it's used. But this one: > 6. REST is better for error handling and tooling > Error handling in REST is easier when compared to GraphQ

I’ve seen similar captchas on similar sites, using a slider move move something to solve essentially a spatial puzzle. But these seem absurdly hard. Is there a point at which a captcha is frustrating enough it turns away humans? I mean most

There’s a lot of UI elements that are not in the set of html elements. Sometimes you need different behaviours. I think it’s still best to build on the native elements first though.

Totally agree, this is a huge reason I use Yarn. Reproducibility. The catch is, particularly with yarn 3, if you want the soundness and capability to vendor zip files (completely removing the concept of node_modules) you need to use PnP and

Build* in isolation the same way we chunk up server side code and test that in isolation. These are unit tests for UI. Storybook gives you the framework to run them. Add something like cypress on top and you have the whole testing loop. Mak

Monorepos can be really powerful, but in choosing one (or frankly polyrepo) you need to admit your application is no longer simple. Now you have dependencies and multiple artifacts to deal with. I’ve found yarn berry (the typescript rewrit

It’s opt-in though? You install it into your repository, and it gets vendored. The yarn 1 binary on your machine will use yarn 2/3 if it’s in the repo, otherwise it will just run yarn 1 as normal.

One of the reasons I really like Yarn 3, is the really good support for linking local dependencies. The whole “@internal/mypackage”: “workspace:*”. That, and the plugin system. Because it meant I could build on top of yarn a build&#x2F

I don't think an FSM will own your entire state in any sufficiently complex app. Especially considering things like Apollo in the GraphQL world that excel at remote and local state. If you don't yet have an FSM controlling your UI

See this is what I love about finite state machines. You get the ability to see what your states and transitions look like. Not just you, the non-technical people on a project too. If you can't understand the state machine in your app,

If you’re in the Javascript/Typescript world Yarn 2 does a really good job with local packages, and letting you depend on them, and optionally allowing you to push for soundness in your repo. (vendoring your deps, tooling, and declarin

I’ve been using a 60% keyboard for a couple of years now, with a Magic Trackpad off to the right. The total size is about that of a full size keyboard (with numpad). The thing about 60% and ten-keyless keyboards, is the smaller size means y

Smart light bulbs. The value comes is automating more than just on off, though I have some non light things I automate with switches. Smart bulbs allow fallback with norma switches, and don’t require modifications. Just swapping of a bulb.

The HomeKit stuff works locally, and afaik should continue to work if the vendor disappears. Siri will need internet, but if you have wifi locally you can control them via a phone. There’s also always the wall switch.

Automating lights doesn’t seem super exciting, but as someone whose done it - it’s been a surprising quality of life improvement. The colours are cool. But the real power I’ve found is that every light is dimmable. It doesn’t matter if you

Lambda’s success was never about bursty workloads, it’s the elastic event driven compute model it enables. Yes only paying for the compute you actually use is great, but so is having basically limitless compute power (your wallet willing) w

The MBP goes hard on the trade off of maximising what it can fit inside while being portable. You could make the cpu, gpu, ram and ssd user replaceable. But then you need bigger connectors, meaning you fit less stuff in. There’s barely any
