    There are so many examples of large companies and open source projects that have moved off of npm that I just don’t think this is true anymore. PNPM and bun are fast enough that th…

    Alternative options include Rectangle (free and open source) and Raycast which is a Spotlight replacement but also includes window management

    I doubt the reservation is with the language/runtime itself, especially with elixir and the BEAM. More likely, it’s with the maturity of the community. Especially at a small startu…

    All of those problems and solutions are not unique to either tech choice. You can use OpenApi for documentation, a variety of libraries like React-query for caching, and N+1 issues…

    Coming back to this after the other thread cooled down a bit lol - to me, unknown actually implies that the function doesn’t care about the values more than any, as the compiler wi…

    The problem with that is that when consuming of the dictionary, “doesn’t know” is actually more appropriate. If you then access Object.values(foo) in your method you are given an i…

    Why would they be missing out? Vercel can host static sites just fine, whether that’s one generated by Next or any other framework or written by hand

    Are you seriously implying that the few 10’s of thousands of people laid off in big tech is some kind of conspiracy? Do you know how little impact that has on the nation’s overall …

    Where in the United States? It’s very easy to find restaurants serving Beyond/Impossible in most major cities in the US.
