The central conceit of the entire essay is that the goal of being an open source provider is to make something that everyone wants to use and in doing so are allowed no choice in how the code is provided and licensed. That's all demons

You can't just drop the idea of Deep Learning into a problem as a magical solution. What does visual interaction entail and what is stopping that from having already been trialled during one of the previous (and current) attempts to ge

Even a cursory glance tells me the scope of this projects plans outstrip a pub sub protocol implementation. Maybe that's why?

Yes, unfortunately there are a number of people, some in positions of power and authority over some sporting bodies, that believe there is no meaningful difference between sexes. The most notable result I've seen is a transgender (rece

Amplify is 'just' graphql too. That's a disingenuous argument. Ironic even because 8base is all aws services bolted together.

By their own admission in pitch decks the CA system was no better resolving an individual accurately than existing ways. The main architect of the system's only previous experience was trying (and apparently failing) to model fashion f

If so many well paid people at big companies can't do it, maybe that's an indicator that it's absolutely not a good screen at all, that there are far better screens that can be used to weigh developer worth, and you're j

So from a developer point of view the more popular your package is financially the less insight into its use you get? And a user point of view is that my usage data is now a bargaining chip to be used by an intermediary between me and a dev

You need 'oh damn I didn't know I needed that' features to be able price something, that people can get elsewhere, in a way that makes a viable business. The market desires everything for nothing and always will so waiting on

Technical debt is a luxury companies with an excess of resources have. Startups without an excess of resources do not have technical debt in that, if you have no more runway and shutter thr business all you have is a bunch of code that didn

No we've been trying to turn CSS into programming for too long and doing ridiculous things that other domains wouldn't tolerate like encoding structural annotations in string names (BEM) and endlessly trying to genericise things t

Because app development insited on a high barrier to entry approach to paradigms and tooling that put it out of reach of most developers, enough of whom valued a pragmatic approach to getting their ideas out into the world. The fact that bi

Seems like a pretty decent take on an MVP to me. Ship it.

I think that's an unfortunate way to see it. Ignoring the possible resilience to using more recognised naming conventions and having gone around the houses in languages for good and bad I'd go more along the lines of "softwar

It's absolutely non-trivial. Have you walked through planned pine forests? There is vast swathes of them around where I live in Scotland and there is no bio-diversity there at all. They are planted so close that the canopy coverage all

That's a false equality. Counting food would be analogous to counting the energy used to build the apps. The fact that a fridge has less features that require additional power draw don't detract from the point.

I dislike the try implementation, one of Go's strengths for me after working with Scala is the way it promotes error handling to a first class citizen in writing code, this feels like its heading towards pushing it back to an afterthou

The root of most of the points in the article is "when you use JWT for the wrong use case it is bad" which is self-evident. Other than that it is hyperbole imo.
