This will likely go to court, again as Dario has stated this is blatant retaliation as no US company has ever been designated a supply chain risk and they continue to operate on classified systems for 6 more months.

Please, the media didn't report on this because natural disasters affecting the climate is not controllable by humans and thus doesn't warrant a global effort to address unless it's so large as to be species ending. Global wa

We use server side Swift extensively since about 2016 for decent production load and it's easily one of the worst decisions I've ever made. - C/C++ interop is great but if we wanted to use C/C++ libraries why use Swift a

They're not all banned, you just need a prescription to get one which realistically should've been implemented day 0. Eventually it'll prove very impactful with the youth, it'll reduce the number of users and make it mor

Why though? Bottles/cans are easily recycled and I believe the small reimbursement is easily recovered during the recycling costs. It's not profitable to recycle small electronic devices otherwise you'd see heaps of shops doi

V2 to V3 was really good value, but V3 to V4 was mostly performance with a migration nightmare with little new features. I don't know what a Tailwind V5 could add that is "breaking" and be worth the migration headache again.

Yes but Tailwind Plus has a flawed business model, AI was not really the reason nobody bought it, it's that it's a lifetime purchase and that shadcn + LLMs has eaten their cake left right and central. If LLMs didn't exist but

shadcn/ui I'd argue is probably the single biggest factor in the declining Tailwind revenue more so than just LLMs in general. As said is it is to say shadcn is what Tailwind should've created and maintained for a fee rather

It's less about cycles and more about the energy density per kg. Nothing on the market comes close to 400Wh/kg.

Yea this take makes no sense. What in the world is wrong with debugging with breakpoints?

Chrome probably has the benefit of being updated frequently rather than more of an annual cycle. But Safari still isn't anywhere near IE6 levels of awfulness.

Put a spend limit in GitHub and issue a chargeback if they ever bill you more.

I mean sorta? It's value add over something like Aurora or RDS has been it's SDL and EdgeQL layer which makes it a hard pill to swallow not knowing if it's going to go under and you're stuck trying to maintain that yours

I think the problem is it's too risky to utilise a "new" database today that isn't available as a managed option on many platforms. Neon is just Postgres for the most part -- sure if they shut down it'd be a pain to

Less than two months for any production users to migrate. Sounds like they've basically got no paying customers otherwise I'd expect to have seen a longer than 2 month period to migrate especially over the holiday season.

This is an insanely good take I never thought of.

They had a second round that was $19m in late 2023. I don't doubt for a second that they had a long runway given the small team.

Farmers don’t care what a clock says at all. They start when the sunlight says they can. It’s never been about farmers and never will be.

Should clarify that the "hygiene hypothesis" has data supporting it for bacteria and allergens but not viruses.

This right here. AI has no moat and none of these companies has a product that isn't easily replaced by another provider. Unless one of these companies really produces a leapfrog product or model that can't be replicated within a

Apple doesn't tend to enter unprofitable markets early. Name one single AI company that is innovating and profitable? All the premier modal providers are losing money hand over fist even at $100's a month in subscription fees.

This is the payoff of nearly over a decade of R&D being poured into their chip development. Apple is a vertical integration company and the CPU/GPU in their devices was a clear sore spot of relying on external vendors they did not

You could also just say he was a unaffiliated lunatic who was sick of Kirk's rhetoric and hate speech and took it into his own hands.

The details are scant, but if I had to guess Alex probably ran out of money and after Apple showed off their Xcode AI integrations they couldn't get more funding and shopped around for an acquisition. Daniel and his team did a great jo

I feel like Fresh being Deno only isn't the primary issue. It's based on Preact which is really just a non-starter for so many because it isolates away too much of the react ecosystem instantly.

It's not actually that concerning. RN's pods are vended via npm not trunk so trunk going read-only will not have an outsized impact on RN. The risk is that over time Cocoapods will no longer work to integrate dependencies with w

iPhone performance and battery life would likely slide back 5-10 years if Apple was forced to use Intel chips instead of TSMC today. Not just that, the raft of features that may have to be disabled until that performance and performance per

The primary cause of population decline has nothing to do with incomes. You see high income earners having a smaller number of children. It's because women frankly have better options than motherhood and what stay at home parenting ent

Apple increasingly uses Swift on server themselves. They’re investing directly where they have needs like SwiftNIO and now this.

It's not even necessarily 4 years. If the economy crashes hard there's a very real possibility of a Democratic congress that takes control of tariffing away from the President and removes all of this nonsense. That election is onl
