Agreed - For the last 20 years or so, designers at basecamp.com do all of their frontend design directly in rails/html/css and then have the developers "re-implement it". The upside of this approach is designs which rea

so true! 1) commit messages often capture the "why" something changed - versus the code/tests which focus on the what/how for right now. 2) when you have a regression being able to see the code before it was introduced a

Agreed. Having a "HTML + CSS" engineer on the team was largely due to the number of hacks needed to make css work -- purposely adding invalid html that would only be parsed by specific browsers, ie5 vs ie6 vs netscape being wildl

If I'm correct that the data center shown is on Belfort and Glenn Dr, then you don't even have to "research" zoning, just look across the street. In 2021/2022 before it was built: * Here is what that lot looked like

Also live near the data centers. While I'm obviously not 100% sure, I think that blue one is on Glenn Dr - for a bit of context, that is less than 3 miles (drive) from the Dulles International Airport. I'll see if I can record a

But there is an upside to this - you get the benefits of being a city with big business (tax revenue, donations to the local schools, investments in infrastructure), but don't have increased commuter traffic.

Total beginner question: if the “structured software application” gives llm prompt “plan out what I need todo for my upcoming vacation to nyc”, will an llm with a weather tool know “I need to ask for weather so I can make a better packing l

Depends on the definition of SPA, but in the days of jquery, I hardly consider any of that single page app. For example, the server rendered page had most of the html initial rendered, jquery would attach a bunch of listeners, and then on

When they get to what their implementation is, I’m not even sure what it is. Like how is the following different from a library, like acts-as_state_machine ( https://github.com/aasm/aasm ). Are they auto running the ret

The word choice of “several” feels a bit mis-leading. Reminds me of the Big Bang Theory quote: That is not a lot of weeks. In fact, that's the bare minimum to get to the plural "weeks".

Is there a git gui/extension/etc which makes exploring the git blame similar to what the author did easier? Here is what I find myself doing often: - blame on file - scroll to line 123, click on commit to see the change - ok, tha

So the vercel ai js-sdk is not tied to the vercel platform and is “just” a js library which points to various llms? Is there any promise/plan/etc to keep it that way?

Your example of “New X” is spot on, because there was a timezone with that name, “US/Pacific-New”, which was different than “US/Pacific”. Bit of history: it was added to some timezone libraries because there was a bill in congres

Let's say I'm using shadcn's Dialog [1] on my web target, which has many subcomponents (Dialog, DialogTrigger, DialogHeader, etc). How many of those am i representing with a 1-to-1 `UC`? Is it just the parts that are on the

I enjoy your 4 types on the architecture. But I’m still a bit confused on what the project actually “is”. I see you have an architecture and I’m using ts to define the interface between those 4 types of components. But let’s say I have a

This doesn’t even make sense… why is you rebuilding it for them even part of the discussion? You built a demo of something they didn’t like, so you took it down. That should be the end of it. Saying you need todo it for free is bonkers.

Context for people who might not get the joke/parody: SST adding containers to their stack might be viewed as a "betryal" in a similar way to how some basketball fans felt when LeBron James switched teams, from Cleveland Cava

While I don’t disagree with any of your points, it seems like they are using a “platform/UGC/crowd” model to change the economics of the business model. In the same way that TV networks find/vet/pay for the supply of sho

The statement I struggle with is "Web Components are mature now", not because of bugs per-se, but more of interoperability with the larger eco-system. One example: if I want to use tailwindcss, then adopting web components comes a

If a KAN has multiple layers, would tweaking the equations of a KAN be more similar to tweaking the weights in a MLP/NN, or more similar to tweaking a decision tree? EDIT: I gave the above thread (light_hue_1 > empath75 > svboese

In your offer letter, it should say what your job responsibilities are. Usually things like “work with stakeholders to develop features”, etc etc. In that offer letter, you need to negotiate so that it says “backend features” and “op will
