Good points. Thanks for sharing :) Interesting read.

I disagree about the negative correlation between humanitarian studies and war-like behaviors, however it's an interesting point nonetheless. Personally, and it's a rather flimsily held opinion of mine so I'm open to challeng

Ah, I meant the visible-light photos. Edited comment :) And yes, I am a bit surprised by some of the photos, particularly towards the end. I've never been involved in the science publishing scene, so to me it just looks...strange.

Couple points: * I really like all of the. As just "photographs", they seem all very pretty, detailed, some even awe-inspiring, to me. * Is it just me (I'm not in any way a photography guy), or are so many of these photos ext

I'll bite. As public evidence shows, the vast majority of SF residents are politically left-leaning and vote Democrat. The Twitter Files just surfaced what was already publicly available. e.g. Employee donations to the political left e

How does getting booed at an SF club equal incredibly and generally disliked? I find your extrapolation from an extremely small sample of ~100-300 people to, what quite obviously sounds like, literally 1-10-100 million or more people, very

I agree about the statement of being surrounded by yes-people, but how does getting booed in an SF club (which must be pretty much a badge of honor at this point?) link to the "authoritarian right"? Does that mean that SF is, or E

See edit. TL;DR: Nowhere did I say that the alleged criminal acts of SBF of JE are "comparable". To say that is an extremely gross and unfathomable misunderstanding of what I was saying. I'm not sure why you would do that, to

Bernie Madoff was a bit before my time. Was he heavily involved with politics/political figures, to the degree of SBF?

Honestly, one of my concerns is that a figure like SBF has one similarity with Jeffrey Epstein - both was/are highly connected individuals. I fear waking up one day to the sudden reveal of SBF's "long hidden battle with depre

I mean poor enough that its easy to get set up but more complex usage ends up requiring support services, by which lock in has started occuring.

FYI dark markets often use XMR (monero) now, due to it's true anonymity. That's why a few governments around the world are one-by-one banning it's sale (see Kraken and the UK government monero situation in september 2021). Bi

Genuinely curious (I don't know all that much about these things): To what extent does the SQLite model incentivize poor documentation since that would drive use of paid support services?

Hi and thank you. The more I think about it, the more I find it kind of nuts that I worked non-stop for ~10 years of my formative life all the while completing a Physics degree without taking a little break apart from annual leave here and

Thank you for sharing. You are certainly at a different point in your life and career (I am but only a humble developer), however it was very nice to read your story about spending more time with your children. I share that feeling of obser

Thank you. Good luck with the future. It's a big leap of faith.

Ah, sorry, I have edited my original comment. TL;DR it's a very little server sitting right behind me, and gets easily stressed.

Didn't get laid off but resigned around a month ago after a long stretch of non-stop work since I was basically a kid (worked through college, university, and straight after O_o). Basically for a little break and to focus on doing some

I have honestly never understood why we allow businesses to use customers for charitable causes. It seems like a huge conflict of interest and essentially co-mingles for-profit and none-profit legal entities. It reminds me of when I worked

This reminds me of the "LBH" acronym that I heard about very often when Japanese locals describe typically western, especially American, tourists, who fit quite well into your identity description. "Loser Back Home" I di

I was going to mention Bun and Deno. The crux of the issue/challenge is that there is so much to do. So incredibly much. JS tooling written in {not-JS} (i.e. Deno, Bun, esbuild, etc) needs developers to buy in to the new language and

Oh, quite coincidentally, I just wrote a blog post about what I would dream of working on if I had more manpower available [0]. Short story is that Javascript tooling is sick . It has a pathology of slowness, bloatedness, dep hell, etc.

I agree with your comparison to Webpack (and also brought back all of my pre-esbuild memories...). I've worked at some places where a simple component library repo has >100 LoC storybook config files and I was always confused why it

Just taken a look. It's very nice to use. It appears a little early at the moment, and I'm not sure, but it would be nice if it had integrated puppeteer integration for e2e testing (I didn't look for very long, so I may have

Thanks for your feedback. I agree on most of your points. I feel like Cypress moving into the component testing arena was an interesting move.

I would say that any software that has 4 billion MAU quite reasonably can be classified as "the world runs on it"-tier software. If I had to guess, what I think you're doing is you're letting your opinion about the mora
