I partially agree with you, but I also think that it's good that people can make something they want, that seems to have no monetization path, and have some hope of being bailed out. It's not great that the search for profit will

I really don't get terminal UIs that try to rebuild GUI-like functionality. Don't we think that computer interfaces should get better? We're not limited to a grid of characters to pretend to draw lines and shapes with anymore

This is angling in the right direction, but I think it has two problems: 1) It's still assuming agents have CLIs. This is a very developer-centric concept of agents, and doesn't map well to either consumer or enterprise agents tha

No. The reason that self-employed don't like payroll tax is that they have to pay both sides of it, so it seems like more than they paid as employees.

This is, by the way, why Google Slides doesn't have SVG support even though there's a nearly 15 year old ticket requesting the feature.

Delivery drivers should find parking. They should be fined heavily for parking in traffic, including bike lanes.
71.
by spankalee 6mo ago
Maybe drivers should stop thinking they're the center of the universe and consider pedestrians and bicyclists around them. It's more dangerous to block a bike lane, with the more vulnerable user, than a car lane. Other drivers can

by spankalee 6mo ago
It can't be so uneven. The other drivers will react irrationally if only a few cars obey those rules. Try doing your own drop offs in the car lane, when there's a bike late there, with traffic behind you. They'll often react

by spankalee 6mo ago
Blocking the right car lane for a drop off is perfectly legal outside of No Stopping zones. This is how taxis have always worked. It's just that other drivers get pissed off if you block a car lane when there's a bike lane next to

Are you going to cone the Uber drivers too?

by spankalee 6mo ago
Cities that want to keep cars out of bike lanes should keep all cars out of them, autonomous or not, by ticketing them. But they don't, so taxis and delivery drivers stop in them. That's traffic enforcement's fault. Given tha

AssemblyScript seems to be seriously languishing these days, and the team has falling-outs with a lot of the Wasm ecosystem.

by spankalee 6mo ago
Nice! I'm working on a similar language in some ways. One decision I made is to specifically not compile to JS. JS/Wasm interop is good enough with Wasm GC that I made the choice to focus on Wasm-only constraints and semantics and

What is up with so many people doing weird capitalization now? Is this some Bay-tech flex? Alok writes their own name, and other names, with leading caps, but not the first word in sentences? It makes it so uncomfortable to read.

I use Eleventy for nearly all of my static sites. Almost every project of mine has at least an 11ty internal docs site. I'm very happy that Eleventy has a home and Zach a job. But my only thought on this is: Eleventy is an awesome name

Reactivity and functional programming are orthogonal though. And in most functional systems the one-time setup function would return the render function so the render function can close over state. Which is pretty much what a class with fie

Counterpoint: classes are a great way to bundle state and logic - which is exactly what UI components are - and components models should use classes more , not less. React's "functional" components are simply poor approximat

It's a shame they don't seem to try to address the divide between CMS's and static sites. Most WordPress sites could just be static, but WordPress has a nice editor interface, so they're not - unless you use a SSG plugin

I love this, but I really wish it were structured as a "Hot or Not" type of round robin system rather than a bracket. Some fonts are close enough that I don't know if I'd choose one over the other consistently, and I&#x2
