Some of Gartner’s analysis can be spot on, but god some of it is so bad I can’t help but cringe. Their recent push for low code/no code everywhere and calling this the “final decade of applications” is in the later category. There’s go

Yea, then you lose all your money to cryptobros instead of traditional finance bros. Voyager & Celsius halted all withdrawals within the last month. You can claim "no true Scotsman", but the fact is billions of dollars of cust

Some domains require horribly complicated code that I’m perfectly happy admitting that I’ll never understand it. Chaining function calls is not one of those domains. I suppose I don’t really care, it’s not my library and I’ll never use it,

Is this what modern idiomatic TS looks like? Reading through the pipe implementation, as someone who primary works in the relatively "boring" world of backend languages, this looks like the kind of code that would get shot down re

Depends who you're worried about having the EXIF data. Sure Facebook strips the EXIF before rehosting the image for others to consume, but given Facebook's nature I'm certain they use the EXIF data to track you. If you don&#x

Yes, that's one of the systemic failures. Despite proponents saying blockchain tech brings a new level of transparency, it's now very clear there was near zero transparency for companies built around the blockchain. For the layper

There's plenty of investments that aren't speculative. Speculative investments are high risk investments, not investments involving any degree of uncertainty. Bonds and broad market index funds are considered to not be speculativ

As somebody who lost money in the Voyager collapse, why can't we say both? People shouldn't have invested more than they could afford to lose, and the recent crypto situation is a massive systemic regulatory failure. Predatory com

The problem with reproducing a hallucinogenic trip is there's a whole mental/headspace side of it that they can't hope to reproduce. The visual aspect isn't even half of it. It's like an app saying it can make you

It looks that way to the consumer, but I don’t believe that to be true. I’ve worked in the industry for a few years and most of insurance products I’ve seen are structured in a way that the company reviewing and processing the claim isn’t a
