I mean we don’t really have to imagine - we can analyze how direct democracies perform in real life. They apparently do have their own problems and pressures that need to be balanced, but that’s why we don’t just say everyone can decide any

Been going without a case with the newer iphones and I must report their engineering is simply spectacular. A brand new iphone 14 flew off its stand from my motorbike riding 80 km/h on a Vietnamese highway. No case. It now has just a

I use it extensively in prod. Well the superset that is OpenApi. It enables contract first development where any change to the api is done in the schema fist, and then implemented by the clients/server. Since we have tooling[0] that va

I started the project mostly as a way to play around recursive decent parsers, and then it actually turned into a useful tool. So yeah its all pure JS, and not produced from a parser generator.

I really hope the community converges on just one common solution to this as I see soo many different approaches to the same “there’s no great modular ORM for typescript” problem. I myself went the route of “lets just have raw sql queries”

I’ve found rating systems a big help. What I usually do for any doctor is visit a famous online forum in bulgaria that’s filled with people’s opinions regarding doctors. Started as just a place where young mothers hang out and talk about va

Well there's https://crank.js.org that uses native js generators where you would you normally put hooks in. Never used it but looked like a very neat idea. I believe Reagent utilises Clojure's native "atom" t

I would love to be a “lifer” dedicating oneself to a single cause and working diligently towards it. Once you’ve built the right tools around you you can be _incredibly_ productive. To points keep me from going that direction. The _only_ ti

Well yeah they are “cheap” to produce but expensive to clean up and dispose of. As long as governments “subsidize” plastics by cleaning after them themselves rather than forcing manufacturers to pay for it, you will have straws and plastic

But would you put an apple “naked”? A cucumber? A tomato? At least for me - when I hike I usually have a box and put all of those items there “raw” - the box protects them from mechanical forces but I don’t need to individually wrap my appl

What an apt analogy! I always thought of it as a transformer unspooling from its compressed “car” form. But thats what we get when multiple teams are responsible for the same web real estate.

It’s not so hopeless though. Not sure about UX, but for devs there are plenty of jobs, so you are free to switch whenever you see people doing or worse, demand you to do, dark patterns. I’ve literally quit a job out of protest, where I star

For me I think it depends on what is needed to be accomplished. Interrupt based communication for me is indeed natural when you’re brainstorming and want to solve a really hard problem where everybody is on board and solving it is the most

I've had my fair share of switching stuff around and delving _hard_ into a subject that interests me, only after months (years) of practice to abandon it because I got bored found something new. I would call that just "life"

Not sure I can offer advice, just an anecdotal observation from a fellow hacker. I used to care _a lot_ about work which netted me several startups CTO gigs, since people want caring people working as their leads, generally. But at some poi

Well currying is a big one, and also functions like flow/pipe (in lodash/fp) mimic piping in FP languages which allows for very nice expressions of business logic for modifying data. You can sometimes loose the type though, so I p

Trouble is, shame is not a decision, its an emotion. While one definitely can adjust ones emotional responses, it requires a lot of time and effort, and cannot be rushed too much. Whenever I feel “shame” I can ignore it and perform the acti

The general idea I think is that once you start the car, it just send a play command the moment it detects the connection. And in theory it _can_ provide a really nice experience. For example I'm walking to my car listening to an audio
