It’s hardly the first time someone has shipped an app within a year of starting to code. It’s impressive, but not revolutionary.

There’s a company being fined for exactly this right now. That might be a deterrent.

The descendants of Mark Zuckerberg will continue to build dynastic wealth through no skill of their own without doing any real work. Other people in the same country are single parents working multiple jobs just to keep their family shelter

That is exactly the definition of a euphemism. It’s a synonym that is less harsh or blunt. I doesn’t have to be a negative thing either. PTSD is more inclusive, since it doesn’t imply that you’ve literally had bombs dropped on you relentles

> "I dun fucked up, but meh" is not an acceptable attitude. I'm cool with it. I don't care that some hard drive went bad and the monitoring system didn't pick up on it because some queue was full. Who cares? If t

That really depends on what type of service we're talking about. Yeah, if you're doing really high volume sales on products that can be purchased elsewhere for close to the same price and shipping options, then uptime is critical.

The zero-downtime culture is pretty out of control. Your flight can be delayed for hours, your roads can be closed for weeks, your internet can be out for hours because someone cut a line, that's all ok, but someone can't get into

I tend to agree with Dave Ramsey on this point. A home loan is just about the only “good” type of debt for an individual to have. Because it tends to retain or gain value with little risk. He also recommends a 15 year loan instead of 30, wh

True, but that is not the situation most of humanity is facing.

We’re not talking about running chatGPT locally though, are we?

Lol. Yes I suppose.

Also, lots of travel is based around life events. I can’t control the fact that funerals and weddings can happen at any time of year.

Well, yes, it is less secure. Though Apple has been adding more restrictions around apps having full disk access and stuff.

by vlunkr 3y ago
None of these require allowing alternative app stores. Just allowing more apps in. You don’t have to use these apps, and theres nothing inherently insecure about it.

Some of the warts will likely never be fixed unfortunately. But I agree that overall it has become a much more pleasant language to use.

I’ve never met anyone in the latter category who made it through their code bootcamp.

They seem to be relying heavily on the fact that Avi Arad is involved. Just take a glance at his IMDB, his role as producer seems to have very little bearing on the quality of a movie. Yeah, he worked on Spiderverse. He's also worked o

So articles will be written by AI, then we'll use a different AI to condense them into actual information. Very cool future, good work everyone.

I'm reminded of the "useful myths" concept in the book Sapiens. Being very patriotic, very confident in your religion and politics was useful for most of human history. Even if you're wrong, the confidence gives you purp

One Hacker Band is a robot band that plays real instruments. Vulfpeck fans won’t shut up about the fact that the band made their own font.

Let’s be real, the Beatles is one of the worst band names ever. People often name their band when they are young and they get stuck with it. If Portugal the man is manufactured (entirely baseless claim) they did a pretty terrible job with i

That’s some harsh utilitarianism.

Sure, but is it really progress to swap our tooling around every couple of years? Do you know what users think about the progression of spaghetti js, to jquery, to backbone, to angular, to ember, to react, to svelte, to htmx? They don'

Yeah, this is a multi-stage build where the final image will have only the statically built content in it.

I think that's totally possible. Especially when you're many seasons deep into a TV show, you have to get creative.

Why not either? Or both?
