sure for something you're spending hours on like instagram. for my business data analytics, I don't care. If I'm doing any serious work I'm on laptop anyway, mobile is just for casual checks

a native mobile app is a gigantic time, productivity, and cash investment. if a business can get most of the value from a PWA, they will be far better off investing that time and innovation into other parts of their business than building a native app for the "smoothness"

What's wrong with a PWA?

To me it's just a case of if it ain't broke don't fix it. I don't agree that "each team has individually come to the same conclusion". You can develop a product way quicker by cloning.

In this case the value prop is in the open source, self host, privacy first. Why try to innovate on the UI?

Because the markets are rational, all-knowing, and have never been wrong?

> p75 at 350ms

Is this really that impressive if you're prefetching? Surely a cached response is <50ms always. What's the prefetch cache hit rate?

If it's anything like remix/react router prefetch caching, it's also useless on mobile. Depending on your target market, that's a huge difference

How does an airtight house work day-to-day? If I don't open a window, how quickly am I poisoning myself?

Not knocking the idea, I've heard of them before and experienced the joy of triple pane glass (both in insulation and noise protection)

I mean let's not go too far and pretend there is 0 advantage to JS

It hurts seeing all that Australian traffic cross the Pacific. As an Aussie the internet feels so much better in north America

The bot already does that, you command it through your web or mobile interface

Any big tech company with large peak periods disagrees with you. It's absolutely worth freezing non-critical changes.

Urgent business change needs to go through? Sure, be prepared to defend to a vp/exec why it needs to go in now.

Urgent security fix? Yep same vp will approve it.

It's a no-brainer to stop your typical changes which aren't needed for a couple of weeks. By the way, it doesn't mean your whole pipeline needs to stop. You can still have stuff ready to go to prod or pre prod after the freeze

Imo better to start with a generic name in the early days at least. Best case your generic name becomes a brand name, ie airbnb.

wouldn't things like creator-lurker ratio be captured within DAU? as in, poor ratio leads to poor DAU?

> Is this because Threads is fading into obscurity and has fewer daily app users than their peak, and Bluesky has a bit more than they had before in November?

Looks like no, threads is pretty flat and bluesky is hockey stick-ing

not sure what x data looks like

People will believe and fight for literally anything, surely thousands of years of con men has taught us that. The fact that this guy with a whopping 4 generations in the area doesn't agree means next to nothing to me.

Remix is growing, and when react router 7 lets you add SSR into any react SPA, I would guess next's market share will slowly shrink in part for that reason

I would guess host metrics show they're idle, and talking to say 10 such customers showed obvious patterns. Is it harder than that?

> Yes, (meditation) can reduce stress, but, as it turns out, no more so than simply sitting still does

That's no surprise. If your type of meditation is just sitting still, that's fine. You don't need a guru voiceover to get the benefits

Is this a surprise? It's not magic. You're essentially giving your brain and mind the space and time it needs. That doesn't make it any less helpful with regards to stress, anxiety, focus etc

If we start realising all it is is sitting still (as in no music, podcast, iPad), maybe meditation can become more popular and we can get our attention spans back.

You're missing the core of the argument:

"If we assume that we get to net zero by 2050,"...

There's always a bug, you just haven't found it yet

Yes, there are more candidates to choose from today than 5 years ago, but that just leaves more candidates. The hiring bar is higher, but the proportion of good Americans doesn't get higher.

Sure you can get a better American today than 2019, but you're comparing any one candidate to their competition and the company bar. If you want to deliberately hire Americans who interview worse than non Americans, you're breaking the law

Most companies aren't well known, what makes you think your experience is the "true" one?

You mean to say you get a large amount of high quality American candidates?

To be fair, the amount of good job applicants from america is also really low.

It's not a great argument, but it's the same with DEI. I literally don't have enough applicants to fill a quota even if 100% of them passed all interviews

Yes it absolutely goes both ways. The amount of crap coming in is astonishing (as in, data analyst with 2 years in python applying for senior frontend engineer, or being on the other side of the world with no mention of visa/immigration)

I was always wondered who audits this. Why should you even deny the green card?

if you believe tariffs and digging are magic pills to an economy, sure (one which in the past year is actually doing extremely well)

Union contracts, or just about any permanent contract in "the west" except America

Who says it's notoriously difficult? I've worked many places with clear processes for identifying and resolving poor performance issues (firing being one possible resolution).

That sounds like just your experience

Not just startups
