I wonder if it will do any better than past versions when one begs and pleads for it to get a job done using a concise, modest amount of code (as an expert human developer might), …

For years we've been seeing the hype about how axial flux electric motors will save 100 or even a couple of hundred pounds per car. Does this announcement mean we're finally starti…

This, of course, is why it's wise to wait a while after an IPO for the market to figure out how it values a new stock before it joins the index.

I remember thinking that they were making great software, but finding revenue to make the investment payoff could be quite challenging. Looks like that's been solved.

Very clever to mention Bun in the title here - probably increases the clicks notably. (We have a couple apps that use BullMQ, and I keep wondering if we could drop Redis and use a …

We have an app on Heroku and obviously the writing is on the wall there. We looked around a bit and picked Digital Ocean as our next host: * their app hosting product is similar to…

"Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection" That's the whole point, right? A pretense to remove any remaining anonymity from communications? Governments are endlessly inf…

That seems like a good bit of psychology as it accommodates both people with the mental fortitude to type in their genuine max bid in the first place, and also people who don't rea…

Auction site design where most every transaction is a very material amount of money for buyer and seller probably have different trade-offs from something like eBay where most item…

Obviously anybody can post gross things by running an image generation/editing tool locally and publishing the results. People then mostly blame the poster whose name it then appea…

These tools always fall short, not because the teams making them are bad, but because the underlying chat tools they build on are adversarial to the idea of a third-party UI replac…

(This is an exaggeration:) Sure, you can have your LLM code with any JavaScript framework you want, as long as you don't mind it randomly dropping React code and React-isms in the …

c appears to be the speed limit of the propagation of information in the universe - never say never, but so far it appears quite unlikely any new physics will overturn this.

I'm always thrilled to see eCharts mentioned anywhere. It is a highly featureful, complete solution for making sophisticated data-intense charts. Various commercial alternatives pa…

Likely so, but you have probably listed a bunch of organizations already utterly swamped with eager and qualified job candidates relative to their hiring numbers.

Historically, the way to standardize how a component appears with Tailwind is to use component abstraction in whatever tool you are building with to accomplish that. Define a butto…

A challenge with TSX, and as I understand other similar tools, is that it doesn't support TypeScript decorator metadata. A few years ago, libraries using that started to get popula…

Seems like insurers should be rating based on your worst health markers, including weight, over the last N years rather than just a current point-in-time snapshot. Someone who some…

Local first is easier to scale technically. Paid hosted software is easier to scale financially. Without the latter, it's very hard to come up with the money to pay people to build…

That's the kind of thing you say when you don't want to pay the market price.

On the plus side, when you're a seller, you want buyers who have this attitude. That they are going to war and the only way they can emerge victorious is by deploying an enormous a…

If uv disappeared tomorrow, five projects would spring up to make compatible implementations of its functionality.

Yes, that is a good assessment. Products close enough to this decision that you have to talk about it don't have enough of a moat. Generally, a product should either serve sufficie…

Reason 1: General Fandom Reason 2: Consider SpaceX's Falcon 9 record in terms of flight pace, total mass delivered, etc. This gives ample reason for optimism that Starship will ult…

My usual gripe: Somehow it is unethical for person/organization/etc putting on an event to make more money on tickets in hot demand. ...but ethical for opportunistic arbitrageurs t…
