Moving past the excellent joke. The problem I see with Next has nothing to do with re-visiting these concepts, and almost everything to do with the examples. Flipping your mindset from “react is a framework for client side rendering” to “

It's hard to take Vercel at face value these days with all of these improvements and announcements. Are we supposed to - in hindsight - understand that odd version numbers of their codebase were really just unstable releases all along?

Most linux distributions have a rather robust mirroring operation. This is much faster than bittorrent. Lots of cloud vendors provide a mirror endpoint for traffic within their network, and ISPs typically also have them. The network is fast

I really can’t understand what the end game is here for Canada. The entire mindset of the nation is just resource extraction. Resources from the land, resources from existing dwellings and municipalities, resources from income, borrowing re

Drag via the prop is nowhere going to reduce load at all. The resistence is the same and the force is square of the speed and surface area. So some drag ain’t doing anything. Even in a dangerous sea a drogue and lines would help, but way mo

It’s disappointing news but the excitement and amount of replication on this paper was pretty fun to witness and experience. To me the most interesting part was everyone talking about potential consequences, uses, the order of magnitude imp

We implemented tRPC at work and use all the other things that would have been 'tightly coupled' within our code base had we not planned a tiny bit ahead. tRPC is incredible but it's still just the transport layer between your

It might be too much of an extrapolation but theres quite an odd cultural phenomenon around death in north america. It almost feels as though people think you deserve to die if you’re poor, get sick, dont currently have benefits, etc. There

Theyre lucky they let this last as long as they did. Lots of other teams and products built on top of someone elses ecosystem havent been as lucky. I think the term we use for this is being “Sherlocked” back from when Apple copied Sherlock

Insurance companies dropping people without clear instructions or notice on how to become compliant is sort of wild. I can see how having a big pile of tires wouldnt be great. But what is “debris”? That could be anything.

The teams working on Next and React are pushing things a little too fast. The problem is the bulk of the consequences of their actions fall on library developers and maintainers. Frankly Im not even sure why everyone is in such a rush to r

You might not need a vision. But you need a reason and if practice and self discipline are your intrinsic reasons then thats great. Personally Im more motivated by imagining the world or tiny change I want or need to see. Better body, bette

Innovating at a big company without the control over the rewards (and a contract to back it up) is sort of a lame bargain. You end up with a low downside risk (cash) but your upside opportunity is whatever you've pre-negotiated. Even w

Perhaps I'm jaded but taking life advice from the WSJ seems a little odd. First of all, most of this piece is self-acceptance repackaged as 'everything is alright' style thinking. Everything is not alright for many people. T

This is good devrel marketing but man… also super disappointing. Taking a bunch of credits offered by 3rd parties and front-running it to pretend youre running an accelerator is lame. The business part of me applauds it, but the nerd in me

I wouldnt be surprised if it turned out to be bigger than 2008 by some order of magnitude. But has the market priced this in yet? Are there financial instruments that you can monitor to see what big players might be thinking? Im also not re

This is incredibly short sighted. The rate at which we've been developing tools has been increasing, and has also required more specialization. You cannot switch jobs easily from being a software engineer to a heavy equipment operator

Its easy to misread people after several hours of interviewing. Especially if everyone else is open to questions and things go well. Id actually apply criticism to the VP ahead of the candidate. My expectation is that someone operating at t

No it doesnt. The public at large can be forgiven for not assuming a half version is the difference between being factually incorrect or not. If OpenAI actually even has confidence theyd call one model “sorta true sometimes” and “mostly tru

Alright. Lets say in any group of people you have a normal distribution of people caring about the thing you care about. On the left, people dont care at all. On the right people think its the most important thing on the planet. An argument

This is as much a cultural problem as a financial one. Somehow we've convinced ourselves that in spite of the fact that we can afford to provide everyone with good food and access to medical care, that we'd rather give you bad foo

Thats completely wild. Did coinbase go into trace mode and log every blockchain append to datadog? I cant even figure out how anything could cost that much.

Im sort of confused. Youre mentioning MVCC and deployment pipelines not having load but what portion of an application MVCC has anything to do with a queue, postgres or otherwise? Same with deployments? Maybe theres a specific model or depl

I love these types of techniques. Need a basic no nonsense queue? Postgres. Need a basic reporting infrastructure? Postgres. Need a document store? Postgres. But every single time this comes up, people on the engineering teams Ive been on a
