This is what YouTube TV should have been. Google is blowing it. They have an unlimited collection of high-quality content, for free, just begging to be organized into channels.

What's the long-term plan for a business model? The only hesitation I have for buying into Bun is not knowing whether it's on a long-term track (i.e., is there a post-funding reality for Bun or is that TBD).

Didn't expect types to come to JavaScript like this (native or without a separate compiler), but I love the idea.

I don't do a journal, but I do like to do "end of day" notes. Working on adding database binary support to my JS framework [1] and finished last night with this (just dropped in a Markdown file): --- Latest version of DB inst

If anybody has/can solve that problem, it's Google. I think their deficit is vision, not implementation.

No different than their analytics approach. The only difference is manual vs. automatic updates (and those updates can be queued as the computed result doesn't need to update immediately).

So those sites will be ranked accordingly. Upvote farming could be mitigated by vote frequency. That sort of behavior would be obvious in the data as you'd see significant voting activity over some time range (which wouldn't look

This could potentially be mitigated by observing vote activity from IP ranges and frequency. Throttle vote activity for a range based on frequency over X window of time. Banning accounts could help, too, as well as more stringent account ve

Hypothetically. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd rather have things rank based on a limited sample size than none at all.

I think you could solve this by using some trickery to know the position of the element in the window. Maybe an iframe isn't exactly it but something. I think you're right, something in the browser would be best (or at least an ex

How Google can fix their search: embedded ranking. Give me an embeddable iframe that I can optionally add to my site which allows visitors to give feedback (think a floating Reddit upvote button). Require that button's access to requir

Design your new UI first, then your new data model, then write your migrations/mapping functions to move v1 data to v2. Just did this for a decent size app moving from Postgres to Mongo with few hiccups.

The frameworks aren't the problem, it's their authors. There's a virus in the JavaScript world that makes people think ever-more complex solutions make tools better. After years asking "why is it like this" (I'

When I implemented the test suite for my JS framework [1], I realized that there was a ton of cruft and noise in most test set ups. The solution? Just start a mirror of the app [2] and its database(s) on different ports and run the tests ag

Other way around. OpenAI and others are the new Google search. The likely suggestion is that OpenAI chats will just be another XKEYSCORE input and OpenAI's algorithms will assist in parsing/forming conclusions on existing data on
