I think it's fair to say there are other ways to interpret what happened with Elm. What if Evan stopped working on it because he needed to make a living and working on Elm wasn't going to achieve that? In that case, if working on

On the other hand, with Elm there was no correlation between adoption and funding for development. With Acadia, he's trying a different funding model, so that might mean better support for both Acadia and Elm.

I don't think it's useful to account for time spent outside of work by the same hourly income as a way to measure how much something costs. By that logic, spending an hour listening would also "cost" $300.

I accept that as a software developer, I have a myopic view on it, but it doesn't have to be hard. - Get a domain name - Get a VPS with an nginx image pre-installed - Write a plain text file with the info you want shown (hours, contact

FEIE is only one of the options for avoiding federal income tax. The other is the Foreign Tax Credit, which has no such limit: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1116.pdf . If the place an American lives and works ha

No, the point is that you can set up the testing exercise without using an LLM to do a simple find and replace.

What sucked about it? I've been considering it for a long time as an alternative to flying across the Atlantic.

The reason there will never be enough lanes is not population growth. It's that we generally don't provide people with alternatives to driving, and adding more lanes just makes even more people have to drive, since things get even

Are you saying on iOS there is no way to browse the Internet without an ad blocker? Maybe I should get an iPhone to stop spending time on my phone...

That's simply good writing practice. I find it more taxing to read digits than prose.

To me the question of what activity/method is more "valuable" in the context of art is kind of missing the point of art.

This may be a good summary of the blog post, but in my opinion it is an uninformed understanding of Elm and Elm's history. JavaScript FFI isn't and never has been a "critical language feature". Rather, people discovered

Imagine a parent today driving to work and dropping off their two kids at school on the way. Instead of one car making three stops, you're suggesting three robo taxis would accomplish the same thing. What do you think already clogged r

I think doctors' incentives are more aligned with patients than the incentives of insurance companies. I agree that incentives aren't perfectly aligned, but I'd rather a doctor decide whether I should get a treatment than an

I'm no fan of FAANGs, but what is "their fair share"? The entire point of OSS is that they don't have a fair share to pay. It's entirely voluntary.

Doctors should make that determination, not insurance companies.

"the signal-to-noise ratio has grown too low" is a bit odd for me. The ratio would not have grown at all.

If one handyman or one farmer or one trucker stopped working, no one would really care. If all CS researchers stopped working, I'd wager people would care, just as they would if handymen/farmers/truckers stopped working.

For me, the best monitors by far for programming are LG's 28in DualUp, due to the aspect ratio. I have a pair side by side, and it's effectively four 1440p screens in a 2x2 layout, giving lots of vertical space without a bezel as

Cancellation terms vary by vendor. With some better ones, you can cancel 24 hours before the end of the month to avoid being billed for the next month.

The solar and batteries have much lower emissions, and can be used as all times (not just during power outages) to lower the cost of electricity. Anyway it doesn't have to be generator or solar + batteries... Why not both? Have the sol

Yes, people who do the same work should be paid differently based on where they live. It makes complete sense.

I realize probably many (most?) people open this site on a mobile device, and the design is optimized for that. Still, does it bother anyone that on a desktop monitor, less than a third of the horizontal width is used for content?

It is a subjective list, but I found it useful to help frame my own thinking around my criteria for the kinds of businesses I want to patronize.
