How can this interface be useful as a search engine replacement if the answers are often incorrect? Can we fix it? Because earlier today it told me that George VI was currently king of England. And I asked it a simple arithmetic question, w

I would say you can equally learn the core of Vue and React in a day, so that you’re actually building your app before the day has finished.

If you want a serious answer: because frameworks do a lot of work for you. For example, they will keep state synchronised between your data model and components (and with some handy plugins, your server). They allow encapsulation and reuse

In what way is being on Vue 2 painful? Using it in production, zero problems, everyone understands it, does everything we need. Plan to migrate to Vue 3 for the nice to haves and to keep up to date, but Vue 2 is not painful at all. Consider

No, we said fund _people_ not status. Someone’s status is their job title etc. that should be irrelevant in funding decisions. Funding projects is a terrible idea that you should keep at a minimum. If you fund projects you will end up with

It’s worth noting that this doesn’t actually make sense. Why would an extraction team come to your house? What is an extraction team for, in this context? Most generous interpretation is the extraction team would be rescuing the trucks. Oth

My first job out of Uni was a company that ran financial services, logistic fulfilment, and retail. They had at least a dozen large in-house retail brands, several large warehouses with automation that Amazon was probably behind at the time

Happen to know a couple of people who have worked with Cummings and Boris. Cummings seems like a reasonably intelligent guy, if ethically dubious and difficult to work with (putting it mildly). What is shocking is that he looks like a geniu

Germany’s economy is diverse, and their political system is robust. These two things are not unrelated. They are a bit bureaucratic for sure.

Single common thread has to be poor governance. Certainly in politics and the civil service and also, from what I hear, amongst business leaders. They are mostly selected from a very small pool, ie public schools via the class system, so it

And in the meantime, whilst Biden is definitely president? And if trump fails to become candidate or loses like he did last time? Doesn’t make sense. Simplest reason most obvious one: trump brings publicity and engagement for his business.

I feel like that acceptance (and I’ve worked at a few places that have just been amazingly supportive and accommodating, long before it was widely discussed) is somehow vaguely related to the way us nerds don’t care about formal dress. “You

His stated thesis is to turn it an “everything app”. Hardcore engineering may be needed to pivot and get to profitability. https://www.reuters.com/technology/what-is-an-everything-app...

_This_ is the real existential threat to Twitter. From the outside, before Musk bought it Twitter already looked like a stagnant company making short-term decisions to boost kpi's without a real mission. I'm just not sure Elon is

This could be meaningless hyperbole without detail. What are those systems, why are they critical, how many staff did they have and how many staff do they have now and what type of staff are they? They have great reason to be hyperbolic - t

Probably due to time constraints. B2B takes a long time to get moving, B2C allows fast feedback for rapid iteration early on. B2B requires integrations, lots of tangential work that doesn't build the core product. They may actually hav

SpaceX seemed very scrappy to me, certainly an upstart, and their costs seem offer of magnitude lower. They also seem to have pushed the boundaries of technology, eg by landing boosters - not just on land but also at sea. I think the accusa

The way I think about this is: physical laws lead to the emergence of information processing machines that form big networks together and develop cultural language of ever increasing sophistication. The monorail song is just the production
