Just like smart TVs, I'm pretty sure smart fridges will end up analyzing your buying/consumption habits and selling that data.

This sort of stuff is just a big nope: <let/count=0> Why make a special language? Just use HTML and TypeScript that will be compatible with editors, tooling, etc. This is the same mistake Imba made. It's a shame bec

Either you wait to get all the data to display the new UI, you show spinners, or you show skeletons. Personally I prefer to wait than having multiple flashes of content but I do agree no approach is perfect.

Better DX is not unnecessary. Also the overhead of good ORMs is pretty minimal and won't make a difference in the vast majority of cases. If you find a bottleneck you can always use SQL.

I checked it out and it looks good on paper but it only runs on Bun. Don't get me wrong, I use Bun and I'm happy with it, but it's still young. With Hono/Drizzle/Zod I can always switch back to Node or Deno if neces

ORMs not only help with the result of the query but but also when writing queries. When I wrote SQL I was constantly checking table names, columns, and enums. With a good ORM like EF Core not only you get autocomplete, type checking, etc bu

With something like EF Core in .NET or Drizzle in TS you get a lot of help from your editor that you wouldn't get when writing SQL.

I would have picked Hono and Drizzle. In part because of the great TS support but also Hono is much faster than Express and supports Zod for validation out of the box. This stack would also allow to use any other runtime (Deno, Bun, or Clou

I was looking at EPYC chips from 2-3 years ago and those do consume more like 8-10W per core but you're right. The latest EPYC 9005 are actually quite efficient.

No idea but it should be significant. AFAIK cooling and energy are the biggest data center costs.

I loved that from Warp too. Went back to iTerm because Warp was regularly consuming more than 1GB of RAM. I also don't want anything related to AI reading my terminal commands.

He was probably right from a technical perspective. Maybe not from a business one. I believe Jim Keller is now working on RISC-V which could take the server market by storm in the next 5 years or so. There are already RISC-V server offering

Depends on the country. Opening a company in Estonia is very cheap but in Spain the manager/CEO needs to be an "autónomo" (like a self-employed tax status). This costs thousands of Euros per year. Something like 2,400-30,000
