What makes you believe that? The video the author put out doesn’t mention that. Cool gif nevertheless.

React scales. If you can predict the future, if you know your app’s complexity won’t grow, you can choose one of the “simpler” alternatives (and go against the ecosystem trend).

The cost of barista preparing a coffee is often higher than the cost of beans and milk. And so on :)

Won’t work in TS. I would actually love extension of TS with operator overloading for vector maths (games, other linear algebra, ML use cases). I wouldn’t want libraries to rely on it, but in my own application code, it can sometimes be rea

Agreed. Same for movement. It’s a little too hard to run straight sometimes.

They have a couple “numbers”, but not a id “card” besides a passport (which only citizens get, not permanent residents). ID cards are pretty standard across EU.

This is a good deep dive into the complexity around caching: https://stack.convex.dev/caching-in Having caching by default (like in Convex) is a really neat simplification to app development.

What worries me more than “authoritarian model works”, is the isolation. Absolutely seriously: What enabled the terrors of collonialism was the lack of understanding of shared humanity between the sides. What happens when China is big, stro

Convex's queries[0] are another example, with perhaps a somewhat simpler approach to the tracking and invalidation. [0] https://stack.convex.dev/how-convex-works

This is awesome. My current hobby project is getting 3D SDF meshing good enough so that I can use them instead of building out of meshes. I’m starting from marching triangles but it’s very much an open problem. Everything in JS, with the go

Too bad OSs have such lock-in. Having a macOS with great sandboxing per folder + os capability to avoid the docker hellscape would be awesome. Probably not gonna happen until we can oneshot an OS rewrite :)

I guess partially my fault, but even in the article, you can see how the Hack syntax is much nicer to work with than the functional one. Another angle is “how much rewriting does a change require”, in this case, what if I want to add anothe

How small could you make this? Could you (maybe not with diy tools) make it the size of a firefly?

This already does work in TS, and there are some patterns besides Effect that simplify working with the return values. Which brings me to my other big gripe with Rust (and Go): the need to declare structs makes it really unwieldy to return

I find TS philosophy of requiring input types and inferring return types (something I was initially quite sceptical about when Flow was adopting it) quite nice to work with in practice - the same could be applied to strict typing of errors

It's kinda an obvious solution: If people do get used to paying for ChatGPT like AIs (big "if"), then AI providers will start paying from their revenue for fresh new quality content. This would be great (if you don't lik

Overengineering is a joy. Using LLMs is a joy. Building something novel, bespoke, something you wouldn’t do when ruthlessly prioritizing for profit.

The article suspiciously leaves out whether there’s a hotel on Iturup Island, on which the whole argument hinges. Quick Google Maps reveales there indeed is one. What a relief!

I’ve been thinking a lot about this topic lately, even studying how executables look on arm macOS. My motivation was exploring truly fast incremental compilation for native code. The only way to do this now on macOS is remapping whole pages
