No it's not useful, no you don't know what you're doing, and no it is not 'proper'. But you're learning. Maybe just accept that not everyone starts from fundamental theory, and there are lots of people who star

Why would you tell people that the correct order is to build foundational knowledge before exploring a subject? For some (many?) people, a 'proper' understanding develops _after_ the exploration.

So according to the regulator Uber automatically suspended driver accounts that were flagged in decision of fraud or due to low ratings. They also failed to inform drivers about the automated decision making. Here is the statement from the

I agree. But wouldn't you want a human to be involved in this process? Let's say you run a legitimate SaaS company, and a cloud provider suspends your account due to an allegation of fraud. Wouldn't you prefer a human is invo

But it's not enterprise SaaS, is it? It's just a time tracking and invoicing tool. And it's not the only SaaS they will need? Companies with 25 employees generally don't have money to pay a dozen SaaS vendors $2k each ev

I don't think the point is that PostgreSQL is great for everything. But you may get by with a single piece of infrastructure instead of 7. In most of the applications we build or maintain we use PostgreSQL + cloud storage. That's

It really does work very well in practice. A few things really help: - Lints [1] that flag code that cannot be (correctly) optimised. Usually this is obscure code that is too smart for its own good. But the compiler leaves it alone and flag

After bun [1] this is another high-profile project that was ported to Rust by extensively using LLMs. Very curious to see how these rewrites play out. Is the LLM foundation solid enough to build upon and iterate on? Or does this cause proje

So isn't not changing more sensible than changing to an arbitrary alternative? The current developers surely are more familiar with the Babel representation than OXC, so why switch?

OXC is not the only consumer, so using the OXC AST wouldn't particularly make sense? I thought it was pretty well explained in the PR: > Note that the conversion from any AST into our HIR is complex, and we can only maintain one ver

Yes absolutely. It's brilliant: all useMemo and useCallback can be removed and you get the same runtime performance and then some, at the cost of only a slight increase in code size. A small downside at the moment is the build time. Th

Were there 1M line diffs in the past, before LLMs? That seems (seemed?) legitimately insane. Simultaneously a very good example of how Github needs to adapt to the changing software development landscape?

Agreed. I absolutely adore the idea of it! But all the brownish colours tell the same story. For some additional context; many old pigments were not stable at all. https://www.vangoghstudio.com/what-were-the-original-colors-
