   I’m glad to see some competition, my hope is that this pushes Apple to improve the next MBP more.

   What about tools that statically analyze your code and allow you to be more productive? It may be possible to build more sophisticated and useful tools if the language is simple. You talk about giving the developer tools, but those tools ca

   I think this is great, but I can see it being potentially improved further if there was a temporary overlay of the physical map whenever you hover over a destination. Basically, I feel that completely removing the physical map is okay until

    Contrast that with a site like this: https://gotools.org It tells you exactly what it does in one sentence, and that sentence is the only one on the page. Despite that, it's probably not as popular as the vague sites being

    So you use language X. Compile it and run it natively on server, compile it to wasm and run that in the browser.

    For example, if you need to jump on the internet to look up Muddy Waters’ real name, and instead of “McKinley Morganfield” you get pop-up ads, screen takeovers, “sponsored” content and other third-party advertising- d

    This was my perception as well, after trying a few "easy" cases and then trying to find "tricky" ones to check how well it'll handle them. This entire paragraph is classified as 68% likely to be perceived as toxic o

    One pattern I notice and dislike is the increase of average font size on the web (and in OSes), and the overall decrease in density of information. BBC 10 years ago vs now side by side shows the difference [1]. [1] http://instant

    Question, how well do GraphQL APIs compose? For example, imagine I define my GraphQL schema which is pretty similar to another GraphQL schema (of a remote API server). Could I implement my GraphQL server's resolvers in such a way that

    Nice write up. To answer your question at the end, I think it comes down to risk vs reward. > why not just wait We can wait, that's an option that's less costly, but more risky. If something planet-scale happens while we wait o
