1) I'm not joking. I think the OP legitimately didn't think about the humans that don't look like they expect them to look. That's a huge problem across all of tech - not just our lack of imagination about the wide arr

Do you think it's fine to hit things that don't correctly get categorized as human? Like maybe someone on crutches?

I'm curious why you think it's a problem to refuse service to customers you think behave unethically That is within their right, why is it bad? Are you making a slippery slope argument? Separately, I do think that the current pola

I don't understand how you can look at a system that commits a series of human rights violations and be like "it was just one bad doctor" There's a pattern here, notice it

It absolutely reflects negatively on ICE: these are people in their custody. Instead they are committing genocide (see this article about what the Chinese government is doing: https://www.justsecurity.org/71615/chinas-f

This is a bad take Refusing to serve customers you believe to be behaving unethically is one way to make their operations more expensive -- the goal is to deter them from pursuing morally bankrupt policies (like separating families at the b

I agree with this completely. (And also don't think the current laws support Epic) However, I am curious about what happens when you force xbox to run unauthenticated 3rd party software. The reason why consoles can be priced the way th

A lot of people have pointed out alternatives, but the killer feature of eg bookmarks (or maybe pocket?) is the categorization. I have bookmarks that I've planned to review in 3 months. I'll have bookmarks for a tool I plan to try

I agree, and while I don't think there's a great chance Epic wins in court, I think now is a great time for them to highlight Apple's deeply unethical practices around the app store: they are both stifling innovation (in what

I just re read strategy letter V [1], and combined with your post, I now realize that reducing the 30% fee for developers is essentially making a "complementary good" (publishing on iOS) cheaper for developers. That makes unreal m

I wouldn't underestimate Epic here. They've already succeeded at securing cross play from xbox and playstation and are strongly motivated to keep their app on iOS. Given the money at stake, they are also strongly motivated to do i

Definitely not a landlord, so forgive the unfamiliarity: Are you not able to claim rental property losses if you simply have a tenant who is unable to pay? --- My model for dealing with a pandemic-induced economic slow-down is that if you c

Yeah I'm sure it depends on where you live If you have tenants in NYC right now who aren't terrible, I think you want to keep them because there are a bunch of empty apts In NYC if you want a good apartment right now, you can sign

It's not clear to me that evicting tenants who would ordinarily pay is a good strategy for landlords. Besides being a dick move, they don't have a guarantee that anyone will move in

I think you can use OO effectively to define invariants. (You could also do this with FP!) Beyond that, I'm not sure I understand your question.

I think DRY is a goal for the code and semantic compression (as described in the post) is a path towards that goal. In Muratori's world they're following best practices like YAGNI and DRY and that allows you to refactor code at th

Pretty good takes here in the comments (shout out to references to "pit of success") There are two things worth mentioning, though. 1) the best pragmatic programming recommendation is "semantic compression" by Muratori [

Notably, it's a somewhat recent change for Stripe. They had refunded fees but iirc it meant they were paying a small fee per refunded transaction (which in a sense subsidizes apps that incur frequent refunds) which they wanted to stop

I think this is another reason why solo developers don't benefit from grpc the way a billion dollar company does: solo developers often aren't using languages that are optimized with grpc (eg they're using python, node, Ruby,

by wrsh07 6y ago
I agree with you. I like grpc. But I also think that the original author has a point: for many solo developers it's an extra dependency that they have to learn, and they get virtually no benefit from using grpc because they aren't
