TypeScript is really nice but you're really describing a JavaScript feature to be honest. Here's some other languages that support objects as functions (although not necessarily functions as objects): https://en.wikiped

I think what you’re proposing applies to good bots. But the bots I wrote to get unfair advantages in auctions or tickets are probably of the kind most bots are.

Water is wet. I don’t think it’s possible to build an unbiased system. An unbiased system, when prompted with a question, answers obviously factually but also by adding all the sufficient context to put the answer in perspective (because le

That isn’t a Tailwind feature though? That’s been like a basic feature of CSS frameworks for 10+ years. Even Bootstrap was going this route way back when. Who rolls the basic boring CSS classes like border-red or border-primary by themselve

But those algorithms generally implement only the most basic aspects of a lens. No one normally implements a model of a cheap lens that has severe chromatic aberration due to poor focusing of different wavelengths in its poorly designed gla

Google probably wants to discourage third-party clients but allow people to archive. Quietly taking this half measure is the perfect and only solution to achieving this goal.

I think a lot of people watch YouTube on their TV or phone or on a browser without an ad-blocker. I rarely watch YouTube on my laptop. I think Twitch users tend to watch on their computer mostly? And I think Twitch viewers are more techy so

I think it’s cute you think most developers let exceptions rise. Most developers I notice just catch the error right away and make the function return something non-sensible like a 0 for a string value function. Slightly better developers j

I usually cook on stainless steel or cast iron but let’s not be facetious — there’s nothing like non-stick.

Okay I watch a lot of YouTube it it’s several leagues of quality below a lot of TV shows. Some documentary YouTube channels also clearly just read Wikipedia and regurgitate random online sources. They don’t have the budget to go to the act

It’s not the licensing or the ethics classes or the responsible thinking or the professors that causes some engineering disciplines to be more carful. It’s the cost when something fucks up. If I’m holding my phone near a cliff, and I rely o

Like the other reply said, there is no natural equilibrium. We want to return to pre-industrial levels because we’re used to it and we liked it more then.

It’s a case by case basis. You can’t set a rule and say that every time an established leader eats a cost that it’s right or wrong. In this case, AWS has had plenty of competition via other cloud services like Azure and Google Cloud as well

Multithreading is hard but once you have been doing it a while, it becomes easy and most importantly, it’s stable. When you have to deal with processes, there’s a lot of external factors out of your control because processes are much more v

Planning is not common sense. It's a skill that takes years of practice, just like playing a piano or programming. And just like programming or playing a piano, you can spend years of doing it and learn nothing because you were doing i

Is there really a growing sentiment? If you have a system without problems, I’d be more worried. Edge cases like OP’s can’t be solved by any system. All systems have problems with things falling through the cracks. That’s why lobbying exis

You don’t judge a source by reading the source itself. Usually you do so by considering the context in which the source is made and then you might consult someone who can read the source (who also needs to be judged based on the context in

In places like Iceland where electricity is very cheap and sunlight not very abundant, vertical farming makes sense. It doesn't make sense everywhere but nothing makes sense everywhere.

I find sprints to be just a useful tool in the toolbox. It helps you plan, but you also need to be careful that it doesn’t consume your team. But ultimately what matters is if your team can recognize what works and what doesn’t and be able

50k is nothing. That’s not even the salary for one person in a year. If you can’t scrounge together $50k to start a banking business, you probably should not be starting a banking business. Bruh, I could get $50k right now if I go through a

No, the battle was an economic one, never a science one. Let’s face it: both the US and Soviet Union had extremely capable scientists. But the entire Cold War was about which economic system was the “best” and in the end, the Soviet Union f

I definitely was over-simplifying but R&D can feel that way sometimes.

I think a lot of people don't understand that R&D is like flushing money down the drain until one day you happen to invent interplanetary teleportation. It's hard to really grasp, kind of like insurance which I swear a lot of

The main reason is that hiring a bunch of new developers will be 100x more expensive than spending a little extra on a Windows/x86 machine.
