I don't know, it seems pretty libertarian for a county/township to nullify state law when it deems the law unnecessary or bad. Different branches of libertarianism may disagree but in the end it's all about localism, no?

This articulated for me one of my biggest frustrations with traditional 1:1s with managers I've had throughout my career: by these people I want to be coached, not mentored. Most 1:1s have been driven by me, at the explicit behest of t

What do public EV markets have to do with private PaaS VC investments? You would have a case if Vercel has no revenue, or no chance of becoming profitable. I don't know their numbers, and I'm sure the multiple is high, but relatin

"Selling support" is one way to make money from OpenSource, but a) it's not clear that Wasmer is even doing that, and b) there's loads of other ways too (hosting, open core, freemium, etc).

Seems like a programming language that optimizes for "codes well with Copilot" could be fairly successful. Things like memory safety, human readability, verifiability, etc. You could also have some kind of AI-driven testing/v

Interested in links or books on this if you know any good ones. Don't you still have to use soil?

Texas checking in -- the dirt in my backyard is full of clay and totally unsuitable for growing anything other than grass and weeds. Many places are like this.

Tbf, he made the first version of Replit as an open source project before joining Codecademy, and it's likely that retaining ownership of that project was part of his employment contract.

Part of it is FB’s company culture — generally the ethos has been to enable engineers, technical precedent be damned, and to never say no to a product idea. It is really impressive and a major part of why FB can move so fast despite being a

What good is a prediction without accountability?

I love that this prediction has a clear deadline. Now, what skin in the game does the UN have? Will they pay back any government spending that occurs as a result of this prediction if the 1.5C rise does not occur?

Then the statement is worthless! If any country is every covered in water at any point in the earth's future then it can be proved "correct". The negative is not even true -- no one can guarantee that no countries will ever b

I think that number of classes is the main issue. It's in the many, many millions. Also, the app has sooooooo much more functionality than people realize. Plus, there is a lot of functionality that ships with the app but is behind a fe

The real problem with Facebook at least is build times -- using the native stack incurs something insane like several hundred hour build times IIRC. So the native stack is just a non-starter once you get to a certain (ludicrous) codebase si

Wow, that pricing is awesome. Once you have email verification, social login, and a C# SDK, I will switch away from Auth0 in a heartbeat. This being open source is a HUGE draw. It means I don't have to trust you as much, because the co

I am. Morale is good, took a minor hiccup recently but has pretty much recovered by now. When I tell everyday folk that I work for Facebook, the reaction is usually, "wow, cool!" and if they're tech minded, they might ask a f

In my experience, CS is useful when software engineering breaks down. Many foundational abstractions in modern high level languages and frameworks are leaky. This leads to pathological behavior under stress (extreme scale, extreme performan

If you make games, Unity Cloud Build can turn a Unity project into a downloadable IPA that you can easily load into TestFlight/App Store (and presumably a device or simulator, but I've never tried).

> I was curious about vim as well. I wonder if the defaults of vi are somehow optimized for QWERTY. A few are, such an hjkl being on the home row, but the rest are more semantic (for example, "t" is "unTil", "f&q

Looks very interesting, but re-learning how to type is so painful, not to mention devastating to my productivity at work, that I think I can only afford to do it once in a lifetime... I recently made the switch from QWERTY to Dvorak, during

In my experience, Bach appeals more to analytical and mathematical types because the music relies less on dramatic swells and romantic melodies, and more on complex, baroque counterpoint that requires multiple listens to truly unravel. That
