Closure library/compiler was the only real way to write a large SPA back in 2012+. You had access to an amazing compiler with a standard library that was like having every npm module you could ever need but written by Google and well m

I helped start an early (1998) Australian ISP in Sydney (a modem bank connected to an ISDN line) with a Linux 2.0 infrastructure (Slackware…) and Perl based billing system running on Postgres 96. I was 16. The early Australian internet was

Been in the Web3 space as a side hustle for something like 2 years now and the only real usecase I’ve seen is something like USDC transfers over Solana. Everything else is just a scam and/or ponzi. Add to that that the price of coins i

This is an amazingly non-succinct write up of why I love programming in Go. I think it, I type it, it works and it works fast, with minimal cognitive overload.

We use Graal to sandbox a scripting language based on EcmaScript 6 for our app. It’s great.

Yeah, I’m talking about FSD driving at speeds that mean certain death, not your standard cruise control+. Do I trust Tesla to write software that works to a degree where I would entrust it with my life? No. The team that builds the VW (and

Waymo is basically locked to 25mph here in SF. Letting a Telsa thing self drive at over 100kph is actually kind of wild.

Every forced Android minimum targetSDK update breaks literally everything. There’s also a breaking change coming up in SDK 34 around exact alarms. Google seems hell bent on making the platform more and more restrictive as time goes on becau

iPhones just work. Macs just work. 99% of people don’t want to spend time configuring anything. Both iOS and Android stopped innovating like 5 years ago, but at least the Apple ecosystem doesn’t feel dead like Android.

Why is anyone wasting brain space on this man? There’s literally a 0% chance he gets anywhere.

True. Biking is the best thing ever (also extremely expensive). I spent a ridiculous amount on a Gazelle HMB 380+. It’s so much fun to ride. Every component is top quality. No maintenance issues ever. Recently got a carbon fiber road bike f

Yup. Waymo >>>>>>>>>> Cruise. It’s not even close. Still wouldn’t get into a Waymo for another 3-5 years, but the quality gap is huge.

Their RX-220 servers are also amazing. Ampere 80 core machines for $220/m. We use these for anything requiring a lot of threads.

Nobody is actually “confused” though. Crypto proponents (like every other industry that has come before, and will come after) want zero regs. Everything else is just hand waving. Regulators clearly know (from these filings) exactly what’s g

It’s kind of interesting that the “commonwealth” countries (AU/NZ/GB/CA) have different classifications of crypto (AU/NZ treat them as property, CA as securities, GB varies depending on the thing). The SEC filings do giv

No, you never “catch up” unless you fire every software engineer (so income and trailing five years of amortization cancel out). Year 5 is just a steady state of no more phantom profit taxes, but you never really get that extra tax you paid

No one is talking about tax credits. The expense of salaries isn’t deductible against income.
