Rachel has been writing about feed readers a lot on their blog the past year ( https://rachelbythebay.com/w/ shows 21 results for "feed reader"), so this is part of a whole narrative. If you're interested

Yeah my guess here is that Meta wants WhatsApp to hook into the "native" phone calling system and messages etc. As someone who used to use a lot of third party apps for core functionality in Android, I ... like the idea of third p

Yeah it's fair to say that if suddenly a huge influx of people show up causing downwards pressure on wages then that can happen. Though I feel like construction work is a place where there is legitimately more limits to how many people

A problem solved if visas are not associated to employers, because then an employer couldn’t hold onto the employee like this.

Aomori is far away, and there aren't that many other jobs there. So you move out there... and now all of a sudden your life depends on your one job continuing to be good. Golden handcuffs.

how are Kubernetes apiservers suffering this much from this kind of query? Surely even in huge systems the amount of data that would need to be traversed is super small, right? Is this a question of Kubernetes just sticking everything into

Yeah, I totally agree with the presumption that the measure is measuring something, and that there is cause for discussion there. I just feel very weird about how the article takes that sample question and sort of priming people with "

One thing to consider here is that the article pulled this question out, but did not actually state how many people actually got this question right or wrong. It is pretty common for these kinds of tests to include a bunch of questions alon

There's a decent amount of work where having teachers focus on the lowest performers raised the overall performance average. Sounds obvious but when left to their own devices it seems that teachers still spend way too much time with th

`layout python` means that the venv is managed by the layout script in direnv, but when sourcing manually I can create it with uv (or pyenv, because I sometimes need to pin the python version) and then just add the source line. `layout pyth

I think there's a simpler explanation here. pip solved a lot of baseline problems. It doesn't solve all of them. There were a bunch of failed attempts to be "better pip". They have not worked, really, but people stick ar

uv is its own thing, but direnv + `source .venv/bin/activate` is straightforward nowadays. Direnv has saved me so much pain nowadays

If you survey couples people say it's the money. There's no need to invent a whole narrative. People just say it's money (and stuff downstream of money like not being able to afford bigger housing to have a second kid rather

The way you can avoid this: - design "UI struct" for what you want to display - Have React fire off events when doing actions - Those actions get piped into your UI-less solution - Your UI-less solution updates the "UI struct

Some guesses: - People really like Result structures - People who wrote the API believe in the "operational issues and business issues should not be comingled" philosophy (so this function might raise on a connection error, but it

> Most of the platforms are losing money for each user they onboard. I really don't think they're losing money on onboarding, but I can totally see an argument for the fixed costs being so high that it doesn't work out.

I think there's an understated component here that many games are built off of your knowledge of other games, so at one point the rulebook is there explaining stuff but omits a lot. But then you play the game and there's the right

Heroku is still probably the platform that offers the most well built-out "here's all your operational needs for the first N years of your business" system, without causing you to have to deal with a billion concepts. I have

Meh, I've had successful things run just off of zapier and friends. Sometimes the thing really is just the thing. The real thing is plenty of low code systems are just garbage. But Salesforce is the size it is because it's a succe

I have more or less exactly this syntax written in a notebook as a transformation. The one critique I'd have here is I think that name binding should be handled differently and _not_ introduce extra indentation. Naming shouldn't c

But you wouldn't call a million tasks with `Promise.all` in Node, right? That's just not a thing that one does. Instead, there's usually going to be some queue outside the VM that will leave you with _some_ sort of chunking a

Is C++ easier to prototype in? Of course there's the borrow checker, but I feel like Rust at least shows up with some expressiveness niceties that gets you some productivity wins in the prototyping stage. Though really I suppose "

I mean your transaction probably got flagged as fraudulent (like if your postal code didn't match your card), it's not that mysterious. I think most online operators that have "spend $3 with us" tiers have to be super vi

Do all float operations need to reconfirm those bits afterwards though? I suppose if you have some sort of JIT you can end up with a bunch of unboxed floats and would only pay the cost on boundaries though

I am partly sympathetic to that (and am a person who does this) but I think too many devs are very nihilistic and use this as an excuse to stop thinking. Everyone in a company is busy doing stuff! There's a lot of nuance here. I think

Even as a K8s hater, this is a pretty salient point. If you are serious about minimizing ops work, you can make sure people are deploying things in very simple ways, and in that world you are looking at _very easy_ deployment strategies rel
