I share that impression. Emacs only lives on as an imaginary yang to vim. vim has found a certain niche as a skill that functions through a text mode ssh because when you use it as a minimalistic editor that's exactly what it is. Emacs

Unfortunately, this is not the end game yet. The end game is "breeder tribe" subcultures who raise their children to reject the idea that that two or three children might be enough. Those subcultures will be immune to change as lo

In defense of that statement, it says "not fixed", not "unlimited". But that's of course what he meant... Carrying capacity can also be temporarily distorted. How much effective carrying capacity would we see if tom

I think your last paragraph sums up the article very well. One question remainins: did the author succeed in convincing himself? It's a fluff piece based on naming a few patterns that could be used as arguments for more humans, not an

And the amount of productive thinking is depending on the fraction of the total sum that goes into zero sum games like advertising and finance. No, I'm not saying that those don't have any utility, they do, but that utility has a

I'd consider Tauri more a tool for web-UI on desktop that also happens to be usable on mobile than a tool to unify iOS and Android. Certainly a lot of overlap.

Dark sarcasm take: there's a large volume of early bitcoin that may or may not be lost forever. The risk of addresses that have gone dark a long time ago lighting up again must have a big influence of any bitcoin evaluation that is at

If it's not airbags, it's crash test ratings. The death machine must only be a death machine to people on the wrong side of the line in the venn diagram depicting the set of owner and family.

A lot of spammers opt for media that does not require the effort of obtaining a phone number. It's the bike lock model: no bike lock is ever safe, but as long as your bike is parked next to bikes with a weaker lock, you have a pretty g

Those per country pools are an interesting tool: being as German as I happen to be, my natural reaction to subscriber share (this seems to be the established term for weighted by utilization?) is "can't do that, because Data Prote

How do you deal with availability overload? First half of my story feels surprisingly similar, despite being born much earlier and in a very developed country. Piracy only through tapes, later writable CDs and eventually also mp3 on writabl

Are you implying that Spotify distributes by number of plays, not by number of plays, weighted by account utilization? (where a play on a one hour a month account would count considerably more than a ten hours per day account). If it's

I grew up in Germany and I don't remember any mention of mythologic literature outside things like "this, but the way, is when the Iliad is set". The optional religion classes of course were full of mythologic literature, but

How about some middle ground? Keep naming types, but abandon the idea of variable names.

Can run one specific version of TS, and JS that has been compiled from any version of TS. That ability might be very valuable for the development loop, but it cannot be intended for dependencies because source compatibility is very low in t

Perspective from another not primarily js/ts dev: in this context, js is the equivalent of a .jar full of .class files. Instead of a -sources.jar you'd have a sourcemap. The original typescript would be more like a repository dump

Good luck finding a spare river or two to evaporate for cooling. And not changing ecosystems in the process. An that's before even mentioning the other thing. Would you be interested in talking about uranium mines? Oh, not the other th

The ecosystem will change, no doubt about that. Just like it changes when we start agriculture somewhere, or pastoralism. Even if we consider that the new ecosystem of desert with a lot of shade might affect neighboring pristine desert with

If you only want to target one platform, and if you are already completely set up for native development for that platform, then yes, there's nothing to gain from going PWA instead of native. Other than the learning experience of cours

A separate app per PWA that is little more than a tiny shim for whatever API Apple refuses to provide in the browser (many of them for very good reasons) and a script for spinning up another instance of the system browser with the API shims
