I mean, people ARE doing it, and like I said it's mature enough to be the default way to build Rails apps. There's tradeoffs, no doubt, but this is absolutely a valid, productive w…

> Any web application with a UI _requires_ a frontend build for CSS/JS. Except it really doesn't. Core web technologies have gotten so much better since the jQuery/pre-SASS days th…

Anecdotally, the same seems to apply to the output format as well. I’ve seen much better performance when instructing the model to output something like this: name=john,age=23 name…

I think the industry got caught up in all the cool new stuff that SPAs enabled. There’s a category of web apps that you simply can’t build without putting most of the state on the …

Fun fact, this is actually illegal here in Sweden! That is, merchants aren't allowed to adjust prices based on payment method. Not sure what the reasoning is.

I wrote my bachelor thesis on something tangential — basically, some researchers found that it was possible in some very specific circumstances to train a classifier to do author a…

This got me thinking of Ender’s Game, where they basically tricked a kid into committing xenocide by telling him he was playing a computer game.

Beautifully designed website! I still don’t know how it’s supposed to work though, the whitepaper has zero implementation details in it.

Look at professional bodybuilding to see how this ends. Being competitive means taking years (decades?) off of your life expectancy, and nobody wants to see their heroes die in the…

No OP but I think there’s three parts to really getting TCP/IP: - Read the spec(s) - Learn the OS APIs deeply - Look at a bunch of real network data in e.g. Wireguard

Yup, this is me too. Married with two kids, met when we were 17, went through uni together. For me, having a small social circle is just a matter of preference. I don’t know why. I…

Or just don’t use gmail. Email is way too important to me (and most people) to risk losing because an automated system thought I broke the TOS of an unrelated Google product. Even …

Here’s one: The fact that contexts are used extensively in the standard library but that there’s still no way to cancel a write to an io.Writer. The only way to “cancel” a write on…

Hmm it’s almost like we should let the people actually doing the job decide how best to do them, hmmmm

Since nobody’s asked: How does GPS jamming work?

Your use of she/her seems like the result of stereotyping trans people. Everybody loses when we play this game. You can’t expect people to hunt down the preferred pronouns of every…

It’s xe/xyr according to the linked Twitter profile.

This comes across as a bad faith interpretation of the comment you’re replying to. I read it as providing additional context and a (slightly?) different perspective, not as an atte…

Supply is so constrained now (and was even before the chip shortage) that it can take up to a year to get a new car delivered, this changes the depreciation curve a bit.

My local Hyundai dealer told me that buying a new car every 6 months is the cheapest way to own an EV right now.

Imagine it was Verizon Music, Verizon News and Verizon TV+ that came pre-installed. Would you feel the same then? A big selling point of Apple products has been the lack of bloatwa…

Exec at Sony Music Entertainment here. You are correct.

It’s almost 2022 and 95% of all backends are still just CRUD.

Meh, I disagree. I find most blog posts nowadays to be way too long. This Twitter thread is short and to the point.

I like the term “data driven algorithm“. It makes it clear to everyone involved that what we’re doing is just adjusting an algorithm based on the data we have. No-one in their righ…
