It appears that style is making a comeback on some startups and tech products’ marketing pages. The first time I saw it was for Orion[0]

It’s neat to see more projects adopting Unikernals. I’ve played around with Unikraft’s Cloud offering about a year ago when it was CLI/API only and was impressed by the performance but found too many DX and polish issues to take it to production. Looks like they’ve improved a lot of that since.

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that in 1-2 years inference speed with have increased enough to allow for “real time” prompting where the agent finishes work in a few seconds instead of a couple minutes. That will certainly change our workflows. Seems like we are in the dial-up era currently.

Looks like Arc Browser.

I believe they chose a bridge to create a more uniform natural path across the freeway so that the animals will be more likely to utilize it. There’s already an overpass a half mile to the south that would allow a crossing over frontage roads but because it’s not obvious and wild enough, animals still cross on the freeway.

Are you referring to Zelle? I think the issue for users that keeps them on services like Venmo is primarily the UX. The Zelle experience varies depending on the customer’s bank. It’s a service run by and between the banks, who are generally not as user experience-focused as tech companies. One example of this is that there is no feedback when sending money to a phone number that is not on the platform. The funds just go into the void and are returned a couple days later. By contrast, Venmo lets the payer verify the payee with their profile picture, username, and phone number.

The newer `satisfies never` is great for this purpose. It’s also convenient with if else chains if that’s more one’s style.

As well as Nim and Swift

I receive targeted recruitment ads from the U.S. Army and Navy frequently. Targeted advertising appears to be a valuable tool in encouraging young people to join the military.

“Presenting the all-new Boobiemax® Wonder Duo! Crafted with the finesse only Mother Nature could inspire!

These ain't your average pair of breasts. They're like no other, perfect blend of allure and comfort, built for the hardworking women who seize the day. No fabrication - only 100% organic design with ComfortPlush™ technology, defining the balance between aesthetics and luxury…” and so on.

At least have the integrity to write your self promotion by hand.

Wouldn’t this make it much easier for advertisers to fingerprint browsers by providing extra data points to narrow down clients?

The right-click context menu on selected text has an option to copy the url with that text fragment highlighted (and scrolled to).

This looks great. One thing I’ve always wanted to see in a Rust ORM was support for returning lateral joins as nested JSON, similar to Zapatos[0] in Typescript land. The ability to do this at the database level instead of the application/orm level is super powerful in my experience.

The “serverless” being referred to in the article is run using V8 isolates, whereas app engine runs full Node.js processes. Although they have limitations like not supporting raw TCP, isolates can start within a couple milliseconds and are much more CPU efficient than standalone processes.

Deno’s REPL is quite nice. It’s syntax highlighted, supports Typescript and autocompletion as well as creature comforts like enter opening a new line when the cursor is in between quotations. You can also pass a file to load and then work interactively from that. The URL-based imports allow you to paste code from another project and not worry about `npm install`ing anything.

On the web at least I am used to ctrl/cmd+scroll to zoom, shift+scroll for horizontal pan and scroll for vertical scroll.

Middle mouse drag should definitely pan.

You might look at Deno[0] which provides that scripting language experience, similar to python.

Fortunately that's not too difficult:

  let x: {[key: string]: Type}

But maybe the documentation is lacking here?

That's the problem, and why people choose cars over public transportation. It's a solvable problem however, and countries like Japan and Switzerland have done just that.
