I don't know, it seems pretty libertarian for a county/township to nullify state law when it deems the law unnecessary or bad. Different branches of libertarianism may disagree but…

This articulated for me one of my biggest frustrations with traditional 1:1s with managers I've had throughout my career: by these people I want to be coached, not mentored. Most 1…

What do public EV markets have to do with private PaaS VC investments? You would have a case if Vercel has no revenue, or no chance of becoming profitable. I don't know their numbe…

How do you feel about GCP?

"Selling support" is one way to make money from OpenSource, but a) it's not clear that Wasmer is even doing that, and b) there's loads of other ways too (hosting, open core, freemi…

> FB revenue is going to be up in Q3, not down, would bet $10k on that. Why?

Seems like a programming language that optimizes for "codes well with Copilot" could be fairly successful. Things like memory safety, human readability, verifiability, etc. You cou…

Interested in links or books on this if you know any good ones. Don't you still have to use soil?

Texas checking in -- the dirt in my backyard is full of clay and totally unsuitable for growing anything other than grass and weeds. Many places are like this.

Is it possible to invest in the LTSE itself?

Tbf, he made the first version of Replit as an open source project before joining Codecademy, and it's likely that retaining ownership of that project was part of his employment co…

Part of it is FB’s company culture — generally the ethos has been to enable engineers, technical precedent be damned, and to never say no to a product idea. It is really impressive…

What good is a prediction without accountability?

I love that this prediction has a clear deadline. Now, what skin in the game does the UN have? Will they pay back any government spending that occurs as a result of this prediction…

Then the statement is worthless! If any country is every covered in water at any point in the earth's future then it can be proved "correct". The negative is not even true -- no on…

I think that number of classes is the main issue. It's in the many, many millions. Also, the app has sooooooo much more functionality than people realize. Plus, there is a lot of f…

The year 2000 has already past.

The real problem with Facebook at least is build times -- using the native stack incurs something insane like several hundred hour build times IIRC. So the native stack is just a n…

That answers it, thanks!

Wow, that pricing is awesome. Once you have email verification, social login, and a C# SDK, I will switch away from Auth0 in a heartbeat. This being open source is a HUGE draw. It …

I’ve lived here 6 months and already found 2 in my house. Depends where you live I guess!

The Krusty Krab?

I am. Morale is good, took a minor hiccup recently but has pretty much recovered by now. When I tell everyday folk that I work for Facebook, the reaction is usually, "wow, cool!" a…

In my experience, CS is useful when software engineering breaks down. Many foundational abstractions in modern high level languages and frameworks are leaky. This leads to patholog…
