That's all bullshit. React is open source and still own the design and all the development roadmap. I honestly think wolfram is an amazing technology but until it embraces the open-source community it'll stay a language that most company will never want to use.

An improved version would be for GPT-3++ to ask clarifying questions when designing/building the app, rather than merely receiving commands

Is it a proxy to other search engines or are they building their own?

Replying to my own comment, but if I had to guess (on absolutely zero context and evidence :p), I would say he wants to focus on crypto/Square, and Twitter is more of a time sink. Twitter is in a good enough state at the moment that the team can move without him so it's a good moment to leave.

There's zero explanation in the email for why he resigned. He's re-iterating the point that the company is fine moving forward with the rest of the board, the new CEO and the existing team, but no actual reason as to why he left.

A real random number generator, this is basically the "hello world" on a quantum computer.

Raw feedback: I think the product is promising and is cool, but the marketing/brand-image is cringey and turned me off completely.

The one that said "Dropbox will never work because I can do the same thing with rsync"

Sonner you leave something you're not happy with the better. The longer you wait the harder it is and will cause more harm

> and feel like I need to get it out.

One way I like to think about it is: Will my comment make the project/thread better or worst? If it's negative and could make it worst then it feels easier to just keep it for myself, even if I know I'm right (or other good reasons for negativity)

I tried supabase and went with another solution because it didn't have a good dev/stage/prod system

I was hoping for hosted postgreSQL database support as part of Next deployment.

That's the point of the article though. SPA is /hard/. Using a normal many-page app, you get scrolling that works across all browser - even mobile - for free, without having to do anything. I'm not saying I necessarily agree, but that's what this article is about.

Hey, best of luck Andy. I've been following your db classes online and the launch of OtterTune on twitter.

No, this isn't it. What he did was basically build a production-ready webapp for his own personal blog. Was this overkill? Maybe. But when you're used to work in that kind of prod environment, you want to reproduce it when building any other projects. So I think this isn't so much a snake oil salesman crap but more about the current lack of good solution to get this kind of environment ready in a few clicks.

This is ridiculous that there's no good way to have a production ready environment without all this plumbing. Redwood comes close but still missing many things.

On one hand, people underestimate the complexity of building production-ready web applications. So, any "why not just a index.html" comments show a clear lack of understanding. However, it's not /that/ complex that we couldn't have a solution to get started with best practices on an prod-ready environment in just a few clicks.

RedwoodJs is great to get started quickly while still following great engineering practices

Curious as to what you mean by "dynamically writing code"

Biggest problem about climate change is political correctness. We're too afraid to talk about the real problems and solutions because of "votes". Instead, we focus on small wins without any real impacts because it's "safe" and make people happy, like recycling.

Real problem and solutions:

  - energy -> Need hydro or nuclear. Everything else is just marketing bullshit. Windmills aren't reliable, you still need a way to store the energy and have a backup. If you factor in the cost of that backup and other solutions, you soon realize that hydro (or nuclear if hydro isn't possible) is way more cost efficient.

  - transportation -> Living in a suburb should have a penalty cost. Just compare the environmental impact between an apartment in a city and a mansion in a suburb with 5 cars. One is killing the planet much faster, there should be a penalty for it. I'm not saying forbid living in a suburb, I'm saying there should be an additional cost to living in a suburb because of the environmental impact.

  - greenhouse gases -> penalty cost in proportion to the damage caused (for instance, buying meat from livestock should be WAY more expensive.)

I'm not a climate change expert, but I do know that people react to incentive. And right now, there's no penalty to killing the planet so we can't blame people for making the decisions they're making. And policy makers can't set real policies because of fear (rightfully so) of not being elected.

It seems like we'll need to wait until the Earth is almost doomed before implementing these policies, but then it might be too late. Maybe another way is to have a "bad guy climate change" that all political party would need to take into account as part of their mandate, so the votes would be about who can best solve these issues rather than whether they should be tackled.

> favorite movie quotes or song lyrics for average threats

Is it me or is this some terrible advice? Most popular song lyrics could easily fit in a password word list.

> No null/undefined nonsense; nil replaces both

Fuck nil, maybe is much better

> Instead of dividing databases by SQL vs. NoSQL, we could try to divide them up by relational vs. non-relational

Yeah, that's pretty much how I translated that whole NoSQL thing. As far as I'm concerned, when the industry uses SQL, I assume they mean relational with schemas.

Not sure about that. I'd say from the people that are very close to me (friends & family), I wouldn't want to be a passenger with half of them. AI is /so much better/, can't wait for it to be mainstream. And it's not just about the AI driving, it's about the AI reacting 100X faster and having eyes all around the car to avoid accidents before they could even happen.

I wonder what humans will actually do better than AI in 50 years. I have a personal theory but I'm a bit off topic here

PG's essays opened my eyes to starting a startup (rather than working as a employee). This in turned made me wealthy and pretty much changed my life.

Most companies hiring for Elixir devs will still hire you as long as you have experience in other languages. imho it's more important to show you have production experience, can ship and are willing to learn. If there's a company you particularly like that is using Elixir, you could do a small side-project in it to show willingness.

> Any changes that could be problematic are announced on the site and the arch-announce mailing list

Yeah.. once I did a normal upgrade and it fucked my whole system. I asked for help and I was told that exact sentence "read the mailing list, it was announced". Thanks, but no thanks.

> Categorising what can charitably be called a repackaged website as native or high performance is quite simply lying

Some hybrid apps are "repackaged website", but others are built to be high performance desktop apps. For instance, I wouldn't call vscode or slack "repackaged websites" even though they're built using Electron & web technologies.

I think you're being overly pedantic by focusing on the distinction between hybrid and native apps. As far as most users are concerned, if it's installed on their computer, /feels/ like a real app and is solving problems they care about, they couldn't care less whether it's built using web technologies or not.

So cool and useful!
