This is what surprises me the most about these stories of dealing with Google/Apple app stores. Most of the apps that aren't produced by very well-known studios or large corporations are just trash. There are few gems here and the

This is why its the ethical responsibility of every dev to use Firefox when they can.

See absolutely nothing wrong with this quote. The "scientific method" is almost a meaningless term because it means different things to different branches of study - discouraging its use for more accurate terminology makes perfect

When I interviewed there in 2018 the recruiter specifically asked me to memorize all the leadership principles because I will be tested on them during the on-site interview. I feel bad for the candidates who now have to memorize two more of

It's not about losing other people's money only. What I'm worried about is: are extremely over-leveraged and able to get the returns they have by doing tax and regulatory dodges that their competitors aren't participatin

This is what I have been thinking. This whole thing has soured in my mind: Jane Street, Effective Altruism. Crypto, VCs, Silicon Valley culture in general I already assumed are scummy.

It involves first having a bunch of money, then giving it away. The general trend is that most people fail to move past Step 1.

Is iMessage an American phenomena mostly? I don't know a single South Asian or Chinese person who uses iMessage. In Canada, most people use WhatsApp or Messenger, and some tech-savvy millenials use Signal.

Switching a few key libraries like OpenSSL to using quantum-resistant cryptography is WAY WAY easier than constructing a viable quantum computer (in secret) that is able to break 512 bit or 1024 bit key RSA.

The only thing I can think of is somehow speeding up drug discovery or materials research by accelerating atomistic simulation. However that's so far from reality it's hard to tell whether it will actually be faster in practice. (

I was on gruvbox dark for a while but recently moved to melange ( https://github.com/savq/melange ) - I find the colors are a bit more toned down and pleasant to look at.

Why would Apple jeopardize its brand (premium products) when they are already printing enough money?

There are dozens of TUI projects in C. None come close to the ease of use of Textual. I'm not sure I buy this idea of "someone's gonna rewrite in C" as a rule.

He's saying you're a luddite for not wanting Copilot to steal all your code and use it for furthering the grand vision of AI generated code (which supposedly represents the forward march of progress)

This Copilot saga is another good reminder of why nothing is free. Developers have been using Github for free for years - now the chickens have come home to roost. The copyright licenses are just a formality - a form of kayfabe. If you aren

I genuinely can't tell if this is sarcasm or a serious attempt at critiquing Effective Altruism. Can anyone disentangle this (word salad) for me?

Replace "threaten usage of nuclear weapons" with "threaten exit from the global finance system under the force of the largest military ever assembled on earth" and you have US policy for the past century.

It's a welcome break from the exaggerated emotions, fast breaks/cuts, and general dopamine triggers that are littered in your average youtube video. It's like watching Bob Ross. I love Asianometery!
