The Google Home is hot garbage. I do like the hardware though.

It's truly baffling. I was very frustrated with C++ (pre-LLM era) to the point I actively left a good job just so I can work on Rust.

Greed. There's no technical basis. I am pretty sure they considered it and even though L2s do not pay much rent to L1, Stripe wanted absolute control (which goes against decentrali…

On the contrary, It's quite active lately - https://vector.dev/releases/

Absolutely, I worked on tech behemoths and smaller companies. The dev experience was significantly better when all development was local. I even worked on initiatives to move devel…

I also love VRL. Such a joy to work with.

The correct thing to do is to leave these comments as a code review and let the contributor fix it. No one argued in favor of accepting a buggy patch.

It's not as good as I would like it to be.

Exciting. I hope it can handle macros.

I worked on this team for 3 years along the OGs behind BMQ, specifically on a closed-source middleware with very similar architecture. I am very happy that they finally open source…

That's why I use Dropbox. They added a lot of new Photos features.

A lot of alt-L1s claim to scale however they usually sacrifice decentralization which completely degenerates the network to an inefficient database. The challenge of decentralized …

War can be extremely profitable.

I don't know about that. Local shop price gauged me but Amazon refunded 100% me for each and every return I initiated (even when it was my mistake and I threw away the packaging).

It's "down, down, down" only if you entered at a very high price: https://athcoinindex.com/coin/bitcoin As the great Andreas Antonopoulos said, everyone gets the Bitcoin price they…

"A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors" Sorry to burst your bubble, but cryptocurrency does not work this way. …
