It’s funny, Express.js tried this. 4.x was basically a complete piece of software. There weren’t any great reasons to change the API. But people hated that. They considered it “unm…

Any mature SaaS company will have exact measurements of acquisition costs. This is advertising, sales staff, etc. This is one the the most fundamental components of SaaS accounting…

Also worth noting that it’s often not single-node performance that caps throughput… it’s replication. Databases are pretty good at quickly adding and removing lots of rows. But eve…

In addition to Oracle, he owns 1.5% of Tesla and 77% of Skydance/Paramount but those are <10% of the value of his Oracle stake.

Interesting concept. As a side benefit this would allow you to make steady progress fighting SEO slop as well, since there can be no arms race if you are ignoring new content. You …

Does anyone have experience putting their production branches in a separate repo from their development branches? GitHub makes it very easy to make a pull request from one repo int…

If I build and my own CDN, it will go down. And I will have to fix it at 2am. If I use CloudFlare, it will also go down, but probably for less time, and someone else has to be up a…

Yes, no recourse. But there are still legal consequences. If Apple blocks certain web content they have a harder time arguing that they are not responsible for blocking other we co…

What’s partisan about what your OP described? Democrats and republicans alike were entangled in Epstein’s crimes.

What’s the joke?

> Needs reasoning, memory, world models. Is that all? So they just need to invent: 1. Thought 2. A mechanism for efficiently encoding and decoding arbitrary percepts 3. A formal mo…

I agree, if there is a death of React it will be killed by Next/Vercel. I probably shouldn’t care. I’m just not looking forward to the chaos of another full “turn” in JavaScript, a…

I mean, you’re technically correct. But you’re also not understanding the point. What people mean when they say “React is just JavaScript” is… 1) JSX, more than any other templatin…

“Their” coal emissions

On premise? Or do you build servers in a data center? Or do you lease dedicated servers?

I wish more software companies had a core value of “every user created bit is sacred.” Storage is cheap enough that this attitude is possible. But I guess keeping all of your desig…

You are correct. JSX is not “just HTML”. It’s “just interleaved HTML and JavaScript”. `v-bind:id` and `@click.prevent` are something else. There is nothing like this in JSX. It’s n…

Not if the styles + fonts are all in the ?

Yes, but if you turn down the opportunity, statistically the person who takes it will be slightly worse at their job than you would have been. If enough people apply some ethical l…

Does it? Last I tried, several years ago, coverage of the Node APIs was not good. I wanted to send data over UDP and a lot of Node basics there were missing.

Folding phones are ~1.5% of the market. Apple cancelled their mini line which was 3% of sales. It’s not a big enough slice for them to want to chase.

Waymo’s valuation is probably in the $50-100B range.

Why would you want to do either of those?

Black hole sun, won’t you come wash away the rain?
