There's no value here! Even their own examples are so tenuous it's bizarre to me that anyone could post that with no sense of shame. 'what if what people know for free today would be wrapped up in an insane network of constan

I feel like we confuse bitcoin and blockchain. People's problems have been solved by a globally available currency that can handle simple transactions but that all happens incredibly inefficiently and despite of all the failings of he

I don't believe the majority of people do not understand what 'tracking' entails even after the major outlets have talked about it. Most people do hate intrusive ads though so I do find that very hard to believe

Did you look at the product? It gives you schedule suggestions. So you have to know your schedule to pick the right one, which means you could use something that allows you to build a schedule. If the product is for people who think adding

I don't understand how machine learning fits into literally just an option to power down a machine on a schedule? I know when my business does not need a particular environment up because it's my business... why would I need somet

But as a commercial choice, the depth of available talent with JS experience vs Scala just makes Scala.js an absolute non-starter. Even if you found someone they will be potentially double the salary. So you're stuck cross training dev

I've never experienced a site where you can't scroll back up before. And then the navigation is a tiny strip of colour that's already closed so you have no signposting as to what the hell is going on? Kudos on the most counte

"he purposely sets out to challenge (even "bait") them, and this is what's controversial" You've summed up exactly what I was trying to get to but failed in 10x as many words. Thank you.

by weego 9y ago
Is it really that controversial though? I'm nearly 40 and I feel like had Jordan Peterson said a lot of what he says now when I was at University it would have been of almost no note whatsoever. It feels more like his statements are el

I love these things. SaaS companies who aren't explicitly clear about what their product does or it's limitations with pricing that is all contact us for a quote then BING "how can we help you today?". I have no idea bec

Yeah I mean their API usage policy for many years was basically a gentleman's agreement to only fetch and keep what you needed.

You shouldn't be creating a language for that anyway. Even implementing smart contracts on a self-rolled blockchain touches the risk ceiling of dealing with new tech for handling people's money. Doing it with a new vm and language

I think it's also about those channels not being suitable to advertise on / having a bad demographic to advertise to and them being funded by patreons or private shop backers advertising in-video. YT gets very little revenue from

But they aren't lying are they? "We care about your privacy" is not a lie just because they care out of necessary for their share price, it's just not the unreasonably ideal situation you want. You cannot reasonably expe

If you want purity of intent in every transaction or contract you ever enter into then the world is going to be a very frustrating place.

Because they are all awful, no one uses them, and they are ui clones with no features built by people that think the word decentralised is actually a selling point to the general public rather than having a single innovative thought about w

Jesus, since when is server side rendering of server side data supposedly an anti-pattern?

Thats kind of my point I guess though I didn't expand on it. They are pitching this like the scraping etc was 'subverting democracy' blah blah... but my contention is they were just doing the kinds of marketing that people kn

I mean, the article covers the research and all so maybe I'm just out of my depth... but I can't help feeling like there's a fair bit of tech astrology going on here.

They're doing a ton for your CV though.

"We're smart enough to not fall for it but the proles stand no chance" doesn't pass the smell test as anecdotal evidence. What they are doing is what marketing people have done for years, only we know from years of data

The entirety of the docs talk about how easy it is to set up a job, run job, have a recurring job and then pricing is in compute Gb hours. I've literally no idea how those two things relate to each other in real world use. Its a bit of

Please, just deliver something that isn't just kinda shit first and then I'll be happy to hear about how you want a more coherent branding experience.

tl;dr people pushing security tools for nodejs say security tools are the new most important aspect of node servers because some of them use calls that could maybe possibly be used in an unsafe manner but currently don't appear to be.

Wouldn't that suppose that you're not doing progressive damage by slowly clogging arteries over long periods of time and that eating saturated fat is something you can cycle/regulate? Still being bad for you is one thing, but
