We obsess about writing skills as a culture, and yet, almost never talk about reading skills. If people suck at reading they will suck worse at writing. And the internet has destroyed most peoples reading comprehension and attention. Or put

Would love to see bun work as a replacement for electron, using the existing os web browser, similar to neutralino, tauri, and muon. All told Im super excited to try this.

The answer is always some form of “share your knowledge.” But that’s the point where the well-trodden career path ends and you either hang out at the depot at the end of the road with the other lifers or you set out bushwhacking on your ow

Why do we need to measure productivity? No one seems to ask that question. To me it seems that trying to measure the individual (people) parts of a system in some quasi-reproducable and transitive way does more harm to the total output of t

This is really nothing new for founders, who have always, generally speaking, wanted to optimize for control. And this path maximizes optionality. Hell even pg promoted the idea of raising a small seed and getting to profitability. The prob

Can you elaborate on the type of text content that would get the attention of authorities? I’d expect spam, and if multimedia was allowed, then that’s obvious. But I am perhaps too naive to have a clear threat model for text-based ugc that

Yes, it was such a thrill to discover this in college (not a math major). I formulated it as all primes >2 are “factors” of 1 and 5 in a base 6 notation.

I've got dimmable LEDs on a non-dimmable switch that are glowing. I guess the next step would be to replace the switch with a dimmable one...

Some of my LEDs continue to glow faintly when off. I assume the efficiency of the bulbs is converting a small trickle of power into light. Has anyone experienced this? Anything to be done?

Shoot first ask questions later? Why not intercept it, disable it, and then dismantle it to figure out what and why it is?

Client-side rendering needs to rebrand as local-first. Then the cycle will start anew.

The most useful thing you could write about / publish would be to educate developers how to harden their apps against such reverse engineering.

If sitting your kids in front of an AI generated content farm bears little difference to sitting your kids in front of a human generated content farm, then yes, this is for you. It’s endless, zero marginal “entertainment” for your kids, an

I’m working on reinventing a browser around reader mode. —Optimized for reading comprehension and the joy of discovery (instead of engagement / ad-metrics). This wouldn’t be the only browser you’d use, but hopefully, it’ll be the best

I'll likely give this a try, as there's a millennial ease to not needing to hire a person specifically. Random different editors reviewing your work is certainly beneficial to a point. But you lose out on the possibility of a rela

Was forever turned off Brave when they sent me direct mail advertisements (for a privacy focused browser lol). They bought my info from some list and spammed me with postcard ads.

Privacy should be the default, not a button. The only way to achieve that is through regulation.

The distinction is between websites as documents and websites as applications. Both are still websites.

Advice rots. As you describe, it’s context specific. Stories on the other hand, are ageless. When well written they take on a life of their own.

That’s like your choice man. Use services with well-worn paths. Or build them yourself. Make more sustainable architectural decisions and you should be able to get that 90% (lol) number much much lower.

This is why ending poverty should be the number 1 priority of our society. It puts *everyone* in a better situation to collectively solve other problems.

More like if you send hate mail to someone and they complain to the post office, then the post office will stop sending your mail.

The correct answer to this is that state lives in the url, which is shared between client/server. This is a simplistic solution for many applications, but still achievable on some level.

Lerna is only needed if you're publishing multiple packages from the monorepo. If you're consuming your packages only within the monorepo for your various services, Yarn Workspaces is generally all that's needed.
