This may be a low effort comment but I just wanted to say that there was a missed opportunity to call this project Spotifast.

I eagerly await the day we can fully style the date & time component so that we can put all those JS libraries to (a well deserved) rest.

Can you please expand on why what Orion does is hacky and may cause issues with other add ons?

I agree for famous authors. But I also believe you are overestimating the average person when it comes to their ability to articulate their thoughts.

I believe there are some programming jobs in which the code is absolutely the easier part. Not all of us work in signal processing, integrated systems or have to push upstream to Linux kernel because the company we work for really needs a m

I like working from the office for the same reasons. Makes my home feel home and keeps my workplace out. However, I also used to commute for an hour and a half just to go to the office and another hour and a half to come back. This I don’t

They expect a sort of breakpoint at which each subsequent model version will only be marginally better than the previous ones, thus allowing them to retain their value for some time. Their business doesn’t work if each year the new model de

I guess an interesting use case for this would be to pinpoint exactly which change was made by who in cases where multiple people / agents work on the same code at the same time. The Zed team is working on two features that are probabl

From an engineering perspective slow is smooth is fast, but from a sales perspective slow is smooth is slow. If you quote superior quality with 6 months later delivery your competitor will get to sign a contract that could very well last 5-

The value of FE unit testing is inversely proportional to the amount of mocking in said tests. I once worked on a complex admin dashboard with lots of business edge cases. The unit tests for the forms and the settings didn’t have any mocks

AI slopping my config is what allowed me to learn vim without going through the pain of setting it up. I can ask AI to teach me about some motions or set up some configs for m in lua without ever know lua. This is the biggest impact of AI i

Does it matter if the response is tone deaf or simply misguided? I am a bit nihilistic here, but in one week absolutely nobody will be talking about this. Are the affected individuals going to abandon instagram? Are people going to reduce t

WASM is not for games specifically, it's for anything that needs native performance but also needs to run on the web.

Interesting. Can you please elaborate more? Is it due to the combination of popular foundation (js) and the addition of strong typing? The runtime environment differences? The ease of integration with other languages / tools?

> A word to web devs. I hate your crap. I would like to say I agree with the proposition of your post and your arguments, but as a web dev please don't mix the state of the web with what the median web dev considers a good UI/U

I believe there is a middle ground here. Quick calls can definitely mess with your flow in your day to day work, but ruining multiple hours of “in the state” is either an overstatement or the author may be best suited for a different role t

For people like him who probably already have enough money it’s probably just chasing the opportunity to work at the bedding edge of the field he loves. And maybe get to be the father of AGI.

Only issue is what happens when the company that owns the search and has a dominant share of the browser market flags your site with the good old "warning: potential risk ahead" when people try to reach it directly? And buries the

You're allowed to exist on the web. The alternative is you are pushed out, your site is not indexed and google / chrome labels it as a security risk when people are trying to reach it directly. The mandate is clear: give up the da

Is it expected to be hard? Meta currently employees a lot of people who are willing to be there for any number of reasons. If 2 years down the line Meta announces a hiring push offering the same or better compensation packages with the ones

I doubt AI can educate the masses simply because the masses would have to prompt it to educate them. Almost no one in my social circle knows, let alone understands Google’s recent work on pushing web attestation, or any other tech company’s

I have been following zed for quite some time and I use it daily alongside nvim (haven’t yet tried zed vim mode, planning to). I really like the performance and control zed provides, as well as the reduced UI clutter compared to alternative

I think it’s a nice feature. I use it to have designs on one part of the screen and implementation on the other. That way I can jump between “designs | implementation” and “PR | swagger” without managing and resizing tabs. Previously I had

Vercel promises to engineer the pain away when it comes to deployment. The thing however is that Vercel introduced that pain in the first place by writing sub-par documentation and splitting many of NextJS functions into small parts with di

Unrelated to the topic at hand but related to the technologies mentioned. I weep for Redux. It's an excellent tool, powerful, configurable, battle tested with excellent documentation and maintainer team. But the community never forgave

The previous company I was working at had quite a lot of TCL code for their back end logic. Betting sector, well known in US and Europe. They still actively hire people to maintain the codebase. Rock solid code, no surprises, was able to ha
