This article is amazing. I think any engineer outside of programming language builders would get something incredibly useful for it. Not enough engineers engage with the concept of…

On a relative and even absolute basis the wealthy will lose substantially more money. On a personal quality of life basis the middle class will get hit the hardest. It will impact …

This is me. And fingers crossed it’ll be an uneventful few days for us both :)

You can make an exception for the pager duty providers number. That will it will always make a sound no matter what.

Mighty as an idea was cool and interesting and I hope the tech survives and continues to be developed. Fat clients have their place in the world but a solution like Mighty allows f…

I'm going through this right now. At dayjob we have a lot of internal dependencies and libraries that are created sufficiently far from me that I treat them as third party and when…

The different module syntax is the problem. If we just had the standard import/export syntax from the beginning I think 99% of problems would be avoided.

Even that blogstatic "guide" is just one page. It seems to me you're throwing a bunch of barely-built stuff at the wall to see what has traction to then actually build out. I don't…

The idea is solid but as someone who is in the market for something like this, the product doesnt currently inspire confidence. Specifically, you’re a tool to create User Guides an…

Environment is one of the factors for my preference for fake meats, but the much bigger factor is the ethical one. Both at the fundamental level of “killing an animal for food is b…

> Nowhere will a training set featuring pictures of naked children be legal. Appropriately from the recent news stories, but it's easy to imagine at least portions of such pictures…

We do a decent job of banning child pornography. And bringing the two ideas together, is child pornography that is provably created by an AI still illegal?

That actually sounds pretty cool! If that's _not_ what Flow is, I hope somebody does roll with that idea.

The secret is that if you’re good enough pretty much any company can be what you want. Most people don’t really know what they’re doing so if you are good and just build stuff that…

Yes, graphql does indeed suck. Or rather it is not the best solution for all client-server communication that people treat it as, so it ends up being used in a lot of situations wh…

What does that have to do with the valuation getting lowered? If a person had 1000 RSUs that were on paper worth 40k, now they are worth 30k. Either way they can’t be sold right no…

If it’s RSUs why are they worthless?

Funny enough these are the exact questions that founders need to ask themselves before committing to an idea. YC has overly broadened this to “make something people want” which at …

I've been looking for something just like this! I find that people get really weird about solar stuff, so I'll explain why I've been looking for something like this. 1. I believe t…

If I ever look for a job again my plan is to give the hiring managers my performance reviews from my previous company. There's enough information in them that speaks to the kind of…

Are there natural “fault” lines for Russia to split into?

If he drops a nuke on Kyiv I honestly don’t know how the world will or even “should” respond. It really goes to show that nukes just shouldn’t exist- there’s no “counter” to them i…

The industry does not properly reward long tenure. If the person stays curious and hungry then the accumulated knowledge and experience they hold is worth a tremendous amount. Smar…
