This is an excellent question and the answer is maybe not too surprising. Where mechanics buy their own tools and nurses have little tool purchasing power, developers produce machi…

I cannot consume any content anywhere without being slapped in the face with an unending stream of OpenAI ads and paid plugs. I'd guess most of that money is going directly to Goog…

Should have renamed the company xGoodwill.

Your comment could have been, "I've never agreed with the design philosophy behind Go." I've always appreciated the apparent Go design philosophy and feel like it most matches my l…

I feel like this post and most (if not all these comments) are an ad.

The other "real reason" is the solution will end up looking like a super cookie and enable machine-level tracking across every app.

The best way to protect citizens of the UK from material online might be to sever their international network connections.

"will" being the operative word here. High school level Econ makes no promises about WHEN prices adjust. Price setting is a whole science highly susceptible to collusion pressure. …

The children are a distraction. They're a secondary justification. Don't lose the plot. This law serves only one outcome: enablement of further authoritarianism.

But today people can just vibe code their own sudo "with blackjack and hookers!" /s Really though, it is remarkable just how high we've built this towering house of cards on the se…

Pure anecdote. Over the last year I've taken the opportunity to compare app development in Swift (+ SwiftUI and SwiftData) for iOS with React Native via Expo. I used Cursor with bo…

I always like finding people advocating for older sage knowledge and bringing it forward for new audiences. That said, as someone who wrote a book about Docker and has lived the fu…

Google created two kinds of value: content discovery via connection (value to the consumer), and market reachability for advertisers. Oh, and also the world's most inconvenient spe…

It is such a pure thing when an engineer looks at the world and is surprised, frustrated, or disappointed at behavior at scale. This is a finance game which in itself is a storytel…

Because it isn't a car company, it feels more like a fraud funnel for retail investor funds into multi-billion special dividends and bonuses for Musk.
