Awareness and morality I suppose. Which generally doesn't matter in the capitalist AI race.

This breaks down because Tailwind is not monetized, is completely free, and hasn't indicated it won't be. There is a corporate side with other features that has never been free. I pay for it because it's great. I'm not

Writing with Pragmatic was such a great experience. Definitely a blessing that I was able to do that. My experience with writing and royalties is just so different than this author's experiences.

It adds accountability, which is unfortunately something that ends up lacking in practice. If you write bad code that creates a bug, I expect you to own it when possible. If you can't and the root cause is bad code, then we probably ne

Pragmatic has an inhouse book compiler. Most authors write in markdown and there's some special XML features you can use as well for it. Of course code linking is a first class feature. It's a pretty nice system, actually.

That's a strawman. It is not really related to the main point and I'm not sure of the point you're trying to make (maybe that tension exists?) Obviously things take as long as they take. I've always been an educator of t

If the bug affects 1 customer and the feature affects the rest, is the old feature complete? It's not binary.

Are we reading the same article? Also, you do realize that writing is taught in an incredibly formulaic way? I can't speak to English as second language authors, but I imagine it doesn't make it easier.

I read it just fine and everything made sense in it. I would spend similar time debugging this if I were the author. It's a pretty serious bug, a non obvious issue, and would be impossible to connect to the ffi fix unless you already k

The article makes it sound as if there were govt negotiations to have them sent home. It is light on details though, but with that many people of a friendly nation / corporation I imagine they get treated differently. I interpreted tha

"if we build that feature, we'd have to own it." "You're right, keep it on the 2028 roadmap" That would be my experience in tech at least.

My understanding is that mnesia is sort of a relic. Really hard to work with and lots of edge / failure cases. I'm not sure if it should be salvaged?

I made this for my high school chemistry project. We made it in the morning so it would be ready for our afternoon class. It was drying in the chemistry back office and there must have been a draft. It exploded during a silent study hall. S

Maybe my position on this is obvious, I honestly don't know a lot of how others see it. Preface: I'm generally an AI skeptic. There are a LOT of people who are doing "business work" for a living, which is significantly d

I watch Youtube almost exclusively on TV. It's great as a cable replacement. The key for me was when my new TV actually had a decent built in TV OS and hardware. So scrolling and using the app isn't painful like it has been on pas

Realms matter. I don't really feel that holding terms hostage between hardware and software worlds is worth much energy. People that know enough to care will know within 1 second what the article is about. "Soft real-time" is

A Pollyanna approach is not the answer (and rarely is.) I believe you've missed my point. I'll state it again although I don't have good faith in this conversation: because the majority of people don't prioritize (or eve

Gross generalization and characterization. You can push for change while also recognizing that others don't respond well to it. Why? Because you need to adjust tactics to get the outcome you want. Blindly "spreading hope" is

From my perspective, the feeling is people at large don't care. Likely because it's difficult, uncomfortable, expensive, or all 3. Do I wish it wasn't that way? Yes. But what if it stays that way? Is there a solution then? I&

It varies. Literally everything from how modals work, notifications, etc. all had to be written. The things that I take for granted in my React app were fairly complex to figure out. I know there are paradigms to handle that now, although t

Congrats! This stable release is huge. I built my (unfortunately) failed startup using LiveView for ~18 months. It was actually really good to work with and a great product experience. I ended up integrating React into it as well for some p

Stripe's MRR number is NOT correct for my application (shows as higher by 1-2%). I have an external script over their API that calculates MRR, and every single tool that calculates MRR has had a different number . It's actually a

Some of the worst mistakes that I saw were from over-reaction in an active incident. One of my programming mantras is "no black magic." If I don't understand why something works, then it's not done. I take this same appr

Yea. Their contracts likely have clauses for all of that. I say likely, but we already know this is true because it's come out. The thing is, crowdstrike isn't the only incompetent party here. Many major companies (looking at Delt

I describe myself as similar to parent post. There is no wireframe. There's no visual component for me in any capacity. I have no ability to perceive a visualization of something. But I know what something would look like if I could se

I don't mind email and password. With password managers it's really not a thing I think much about. Depends on what you're building though. Enterprisey customers will often require SSO and Google OAuth tends to keep them happ

I mean, it does work—just not at 1B of leveraged debt. The actual company financials look decently healthy.

I don't agree that this is magic. It's only "magic" because the language doesn't do it today (thus requiring the compiler extension.) If this were in the language itself, it would probably be pretty popular. The arg

Eh, I don't think this is a bad name collision. Nintendo doesn't really talk about stuff like this publicly, and searching for it is pretty much reddit + hacker news threads. I'm sure there's a lot of internal code name
