There's so many idiots in the AI space that are completely ignorant of how Machine Learning works. The worst are the grifters that fearmonger about AI safety by regurgitating singu…

We use Clojure at my work and it's basically functional Java with parens. No snottiness or evangelism needed. The fact that I don't have to write Java OOP boilerplate is a big enou…

You just describe Boeing's relationship with HCL and Infosys. I had to get out because I just felt like I was wasting my life bullshitting and delivering zero value to anyone.

Jason Scott's stuff is great. I particularly love his talk about his experience as a defendant in a 2 billion dollar lawsuit (completely frivolous).

It's my first startup, but so good so far. I chose one that was older (8+ years) and had a fun stack (Clojure). Doesn't pay as well as FAANG but I get some cool lottery tickets (RS…

I guess it's just a difference of nomenclature theb. FAANG (especially Amazon and Microsoft) are just so big that the stratification creates a lot of roles to facilitate the org. E…

>A senior engineer is someone you can point in the general direction of a business problem. They rarely get requirements, and never fleshed out. Their job is to understand the prob…

>A senior engineer should spend the least amount of time coding compared to everything else they do during the day. If they don't, do you really need a senior engineer? How much of…

When I moved from a remote dev job at an insurance company (~5500 employees) to a startup (~20), I was amazed with how much more async the environment was. There are no core hours,…

Well, he decided that the whole world shouldn't hear about how the original founders of Tesla were removed and replaced with Musk. However, I can appreciate the distinction between…

I'm confused, are you talking about banning Trump (after he lost the election)? I'm not saying the decision is right or wrong, but Twitter thought a long time about it. I'm pretty …

His whole life he's had to listen to shareholders. This is his one chance to just say "Fuck it" and just do whatever he wants. I would hope the businessman and him would prevent hi…

Does anyone else feel like he's going to start doing petty shit like banning people he doesn't like (e.g. that musk flight tracker account)? He talks a lot about free speech but he…

>The one thing that really is rough for me with _both_ UE and Unity is that they're both very oriented towards teams with dedicated art people who can put out assets to use. BSP-ba…

This reminds me a lot of Amethyst.

"Coding" in Unity and UE4 simply isn't fun. UE4's C++ macro abomination is bad but I find that 90% of the value in amateur game development is in the art content. Since I'm not an …

"OpenAI" except everything is closed research. Why did they even pick this name?

Surprisingly enough, I'm a clojure developer and I really do like the hiccup syntax in Reagent. I haven't had the courage to use it in anything professional yet though. EDIT: To an…

Yeah, but the function itself doesn't return that view. The framework you're working in essentially composes the view based on the associated code and template. This is fundamental…

If the only purpose of your site is to load some text or an image, go use a framework with SSG like NextJS. Then you get fast websites without having to pretend that writing statef…

No, the template is usually a static file that is read into memory and served over HTTP or locally if it's a JS only site. But before being served, it's being picked at via imperat…

Template based UI programming is like going back to the year 2007. Your views should be reactive. Elm, Flutter, React, Et Cetera understand this. Having a function that takes data …

I agree. These people hating on SPAs are mostly not frontend developers. They're backend devs that think returning an HTML page is all you need to do. Modern websites are very comp…

That's why you keep your language small like clojure.

I agree: neither Linus nor FSF have authority to interpret the GPL. The way you find out if a license is enforceable is if you take it to arbitration or court. There's not enough c…
