It is very reasonable to expect quiet in apartments. It is not reasonable to expect that you will never need to confront people to achieve it. If you want to never talk to neighbor…

Yeah, I'd be uncomfortable with that approach. One of their key design goals was to minimize underselling, recognizing that it results in lost revenue. But if a seller has 5k inven…

The smallest single-person motorized vehicle is a motorcycle. Leaving stability aside for a minute - one of the issues with electric motorcycles is that the batteries are too small…

This is why some projects will vendor their dependencies - changes within the dependency itself will also be reviewed, and it's easier to locally maintain patches to those dependen…

This is why the future is in deterministic static analysis and policy-as-code frameworks. Policy-in-English? Model implicitly complains that it's TL-DR. Ask the model to write code…

I don't think you're fundamentally disagreeing. Your work community can be a source of friendships (and sometimes but more rarely, more than friendship), but you shouldn't confuse …

There's a huge difference between learning that your colleague also happens to play chess, and sharing the vulnerability of how you handled personal grief in your life. Your workpl…

I might be reading too closely / projecting, but... Sounds like an ineffectual CEO who didn't understand that his role, like any manager, is to help resolve interpersonal conflict …

Spoiler alert: Dujour, leading to Trinity

> You can, of course, add traits. But at this point you're essentially creating your own language that compiles to Zig I think herein lies the rub. What's the difference between a …

> Zig has no private fields You may have missed the point here. You could add a comment to the struct field that marks the field as private, and build a TypeScript/JSDoc analogue t…

I wouldn't say it's impossible, rather un-ergonomic. TypeScript can add type information to ordinary JavaScript code via JSDoc comments; the result can both be executed as ordinary…

I'm not convinced. Hyperscript's reactivity model is highly greppable, and it keeps the no-build approach to Web frontend interactivity. It's "just enough" in the same way that HTM…

Just curious: the people behind HTMX have a frontend sibling project called Hyperscript, which handles stuff like frontend state: https://hyperscript.org/docs/reactivity/ Did you g…

AWS and Google at least own their own hardware (Trainium and TPUs, respectively). It's a moat in the sense that designing, building, and deploying your own chips at scale is quite …

You're right, but idTech is almost by definition that "novelty" kind of engine. And it did help id to sell more games. It's just apparently not enough.

This is not an argument that founders should seed 25k EUR to cover liability, it's an argument that GmbH bank account amounts should be visible publicly. If I want to put in a cate…
