I kinda ran out of steam building my own calculator, which is here: https://recomputer.io/ . I haven't seen insect before, and it looks great! Especially given the landscape which I documented in the github readme: ht

SpaceX is trying (and already succeeding) to massively innovate spaceships. The only question is whether it will become really useful or not.

Perhaps I’m too young, but I don’t find most of my writing relevant years later. Amusing maybe. So I don’t worry too much about the current platform I’m using being obsolete. I do want the ability to back up to plaintext with a single click

Interesting take, but I find it much more insightful to think about how you’d simply implement a hook (not any of the React specific ones). MobX uses similar mechanism. user declares foo with a call to “useState” function useState(…) {

I doubt it. Even fully “neutral” Ukraine, if modern, democratic, prosperous, would have been extremely dangerous to any corrupt autocrat in Russia. This is appeasement approach that WWII should have taught us not to take. Russian official a

I’m curious how it stacks up with Bear? Is the main advantage not being Apple-locked?

I think we could use at least three languages as a set: - Rust - RustGC - RustScript I elaborated here: https://gist.github.com/xixixao/8e363dbd3663b6729cd5b6d74dbb...

> The more code you have, the longer it takes to compile. On medium-to-large-sized TypeScript projects, this compilation is extremely slow. Or you could, you know, use the JS typechecker already built with large scale performance in mind

Once you realize that the Hobbit movies are either “orange” or “blue” all.the.time. they become unwatchable. I hope some future rerelease fixes them.

This page doesn’t have the app feel, because it’s not preloading linked pages.

If you read to the end the author links to their second article suggesting Kanban instead. I concur with this suggestion in general. This talk is an entertaining classic intro into it: https://youtu.be/CKWvmiY7f_g

I’ve had this idea for about 10 years - it really pays off to wait and eventually someone will build all my ideas :) There are many things to build on top: - Squash history so that it doesn’t grow indefinitely. - Be somewhat language aware

This is what source control blame is for. It’s very hard to estimate what business reasons will be important to readers of code in the future. I very often nudge people to remove their comments entirely. Less experienced devs often write co

Redux is far from the suggestion, and imho unless you can greatly benefit from the actions boilerplate its overhead is not worth it. As others mentioned useImmer is a more bulletproof solution then assuming your state can always be modeled

I didn’t think it would work but I’ve grown fond of switching between light and dark os theme based on the time of day, and having all apps auto-adjust. If you haven’t yet give it a try.

I was reminded yet again how terribly non intuitive the core file-system commands are for end user on the command line. Maybe having Rust implementations readily available would allow people to fork them and improve the interface in some ne

The only good use case I found is a distributed primary key DB. If you don’t trust the party that would normally hold the DB, this could be useful. Mostly some contract stuff. People are getting hyped about selling in-game NFTs. I still don

Dating apps are working on this, albeit higher up the funnel (which is arguably more important), and so a lot of resources are being invested in this area.

I love Bear with it’s 1+ hiearchical tags per note. It’s the perfect combination of both worlds for me. Would encourage the author to check it out (if it’s any different).

TBH what I got out of this is that he’s got a simple solid setup that works for him. He clearly doesn’t burn time changing his setup often and that makes sense.

No, I think he means Typescript. Typescript doesn’t have (or even tries to have) a sound type system. It’s good to know its limitations and try to avoid code that will blow up despite passing type checking.

No, I’m dead serious. Sure, the magnitude of progress is not as big as say moving from horses to cars, but it is similar in how people perceive the new vs the old.
