Ultimately, there is some value in each position, and in a corresponding set of positions on the left. Unlike many issues in US politics, in the long run this one is not well left-right aligned, and there is no single correct number for how

I wonder if it will do any better than past versions when one begs and pleads for it to get a job done using a concise, modest amount of code (as an expert human developer might), rather than responding to all prompts by shoveling in a larg

For years we've been seeing the hype about how axial flux electric motors will save 100 or even a couple of hundred pounds per car. Does this announcement mean we're finally starting to see the first increment of that actually hap

This, of course, is why it's wise to wait a while after an IPO for the market to figure out how it values a new stock before it joins the index.

I remember thinking that they were making great software, but finding revenue to make the investment payoff could be quite challenging. Looks like that's been solved.

Very clever to mention Bun in the title here - probably increases the clicks notably. (We have a couple apps that use BullMQ, and I keep wondering if we could drop Redis and use a PG-backed queue instead, for fewer single points of failure.

We have an app on Heroku and obviously the writing is on the wall there. We looked around a bit and picked Digital Ocean as our next host: * their app hosting product is similar to Heroku. * very easy onboarding and controls for modest comp

"Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection" That's the whole point, right? A pretense to remove any remaining anonymity from communications? Governments are endlessly infested with the worst people. They look b

That seems like a good bit of psychology as it accommodates both people with the mental fortitude to type in their genuine max bid in the first place, and also people who don't really know what they're willing to bid until they se

Obviously anybody can post gross things by running an image generation/editing tool locally and publishing the results. People then mostly blame the poster whose name it then appears under. Seems like a pointless and foolish product de

These tools always fall short, not because the teams making them are bad, but because the underlying chat tools they build on are adversarial to the idea of a third-party UI replacing their UI. A new entrant might escape their ire for a whi

(This is an exaggeration:) Sure, you can have your LLM code with any JavaScript framework you want, as long as you don't mind it randomly dropping React code and React-isms in the middle of your app.

c appears to be the speed limit of the propagation of information in the universe - never say never, but so far it appears quite unlikely any new physics will overturn this.

I'm always thrilled to see eCharts mentioned anywhere. It is a highly featureful, complete solution for making sophisticated data-intense charts. Various commercial alternatives pale in comparison.

Likely so, but you have probably listed a bunch of organizations already utterly swamped with eager and qualified job candidates relative to their hiring numbers.

Historically, the way to standardize how a component appears with Tailwind is to use component abstraction in whatever tool you are building with to accomplish that. Define a button once somewhere and then throw on whatever classes it needs

A challenge with TSX, and as I understand other similar tools, is that it doesn't support TypeScript decorator metadata. A few years ago, libraries using that started to get popular, so many older projects have a significant obstacle t

Seems like insurers should be rating based on your worst health markers, including weight, over the last N years rather than just a current point-in-time snapshot. Someone who somehow has no medical records over the last few years at all th

Local first is easier to scale technically. Paid hosted software is easier to scale financially. Without the latter, it's very hard to come up with the money to pay people to build, to support the market, etc.

That's the kind of thing you say when you don't want to pay the market price.

On the plus side, when you're a seller, you want buyers who have this attitude. That they are going to war and the only way they can emerge victorious is by deploying an enormous amount in your direction. You want buyers who will brag

If uv disappeared tomorrow, five projects would spring up to make compatible implementations of its functionality.

Yes, that is a good assessment. Products close enough to this decision that you have to talk about it don't have enough of a moat. Generally, a product should either serve sufficiently complex needs that build is impractical, or serve

Reason 1: General Fandom Reason 2: Consider SpaceX's Falcon 9 record in terms of flight pace, total mass delivered, etc. This gives ample reason for optimism that Starship will ultimately work... though the flight test record of Starsh

My usual gripe: Somehow it is unethical for person/organization/etc putting on an event to make more money on tickets in hot demand. ...but ethical for opportunistic arbitrageurs to make that money. This suggests a highly misguide

Unfortunately, many businesses are arguably a bit worse than that: success this year means you put even more at risk next year. (For example, you get successful enough that you need a bit of office space. Well, your little business is not g

This reminds me of something I did back in 2008, we were using Postgres, not SQLite, and we needed to get a backup from one production machine onto several other machines. Copying saturated the network for an hour - And we needed to copy fo

Tailwind, at least for the last couple major versions, only adds the classes you actually use (plus the resets). Baseline size of the resets is far below 50k. Great point about the dialog element. I used it in a project recently for the fir
