It depends on if you count https://allenai.org/ as relevant?

There's always https://github.com/mensfeld/code-on-incus

I found this article interesting and valuable, and it's certainly started some great discussions in this thread. With one massive exception: the "There's no median programmer" sect…

While I'm sure some people just want to write code for its own sake, I've never met one. What I've seen is coders working in domains that vary in what is economical, coders who hav…

The idiom is to "pull oneself up by one's boot straps": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrapping#Etymology

There's some overlap and some similar use cases. I've seen a few people being confused between Durable Objects and Durable Execution. Short writeup: https://crabmusket.net/2024/dur…

I believe Restate has something which can work similarly: https://docs.restate.dev/foundations/services There was also Jamsocket and Plane, though it looks like they've shut down a…

The website surely was, so...

I don't think didibus is saying they expect perfection, just that there is still room for the pelican prompt to measure meaningful future improvement.

I think this is broadly true, but there's also a subset of DOD design advice (e.g. see Richard Fabian's book) that has a lot to say about relational database design. In our team it…

For something as basic as domain name registration, absolutely. It takes someone willing to be a bit philanthropic to do it, I guess.

A transcript is not what I really want, video and writing aren't the same format. I've read transcripts of Casey's videos before.

Yes, I will do that when I have time one of these years. I did mean to caveat that in my post but forgot. I mainly wanted to make the vertical integration point.

It's a great talk, I just wish there was a good focused textual version of it, as it is a very long video to recommend to others. Very worth it, but a big investment. It's a great …

The flip side of that is, why spend your finite life in a way that's not enjoyable? If the experience of constantly being under pressure to deliver, to go faster, to work more, to …

"use strong" was a proposal from Google https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qk0qC4s_XNCLemj42FqfsRLp...

I have a bad habit of doing this with things players have said on Just A Minute and have just lodged in my brain.

React was open sourced in 2013. Service workers, which I consider to be essential to what we understand as PWAs, shipped first in Chrome in 2015, Safari in 2018.

Let and const have a "temporal dead zone" before initialisation that distinguishes them from var, which is just undefined: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/R…

I felt similarly. I wonder why the author is so invested in Haskell specifically becoming an AI-pilled ecosystem and community when the choice of language rounds to not mattering? …

> second most popular forge in the world This is absolutely brutal to GitLab

What I assume you mean is not the network effect, where more users of a product makes the product more valuable. That's still true for Zig as more users increase the ecosystem, fun…

Not Firecracker, but Incus's system containers seem like a good middle ground between Docker and VMs. https://linuxcontainers.org/incus/docs/main/explanation/cont...

I'm pretty sure I'm not talented enough for Oxide, but just asking myself the application questions has been a fun exercise. I'm not in love with their problem space, but I am real…
