I’ve seen way too many of “scientists” and “researchers” try their own cures to various problems.
Always shocks me how relatively simple solutions can be with the proper background but none of those would reach mass market due regulatory issues.
Wonder what the policy would be if someone forced experimental medicine on someone without permission. How much do you think the patient should be allowed to sue for?
It’s relatively simple to detect crawlers writing one from scratch could take a few weeks if the infrastructure was in place.
With salaries though finding an externally managed solution might be cheaper.
The packaging for the Vita was as close as you can get to perfect. i check the prices for Vitas every now and then.
Reminded me of Star Trek tricorders growing up. Especially with location based games which worked without GPS. Neet programming hacks was the coolest part of playing with embedded electronics.
HTTP errors aren’t the most readable, although traditional database errors aren’t too readable most of the time.
I know there are other libraries which offer similar features (alpine.js), but none are as simple and focused as HTMX.
It seems like such an elegant solution I’m surprised more people haven’t started using it. It just works.
Tell that to the people who downvote me which seems unprofessional as hell.
If I want to learn .Net which is more time consuming and more difficult to find employees why would I use it? Makes sense if you are in an area with a lot of windows people, but that’s not the case anywhere other than Texas.
And the compiler enforce typing. Admittedly not as nice as Go since you have to rely on external tools but workable.
People like their curly brackets though. Just not as helpful when dealing with system problems.
Python offers typing with static compiling. .Net doesn’t really match with startup culture.
I’m on the fence about Go, but maybe that’s my preference to having classes.
But yeah I’m the general case if I was an investor I’d be more careful with purely Python based startups.
Disagree, I’m so disappointed in companies who do sprint type development refusing to use Python. It works well with the “Silicon Valley startup ecosystem”.
That being said, as far as workplace differences I’d say Java shops would be the ideal, slower, less long term problems but so much more initial investment.
I feel like as a scripting language Python excels. Glad to have this PEP, but it would be more pythonic have except be optional.
The reason I pick up Python for projects is because it grows with the application; opportunities to add typing etc. Who knows maybe in a few years Python will enforce all the types and it will be as verbose as Java. Personally I’d like to see how they handle declaring a method or function throws exceptions.
Pretty narly we have compiled Python apps with poetry, it’s starting to punch out of its weight class.
A common use case of HTMX is sending fragments when scrolling.
Since http/3 uses udp to send the fragments, duplicate packet information doesn’t have to be sent.
Kind of funny the newer protocol effectively works in the opposite direction of GraphQl.
http/3 seems to be an excellent opportunity to optimize HTMX or any of the libraries which leverage HTML fragments like JSX. The obvious advantage of http/3 is for gaming.
The servers which run the frameworks have to http/3. In most cases the advantages should be transparent to the developers.
Quicker games that can be easily put down and picked back up and don’t break the bank. Nintendo catered to their audience as the company grew.
The AI hype train is like gasoline for somebody’s car. It’s something people pay for to protect themselves against risk.
Anything medical becomes a licensing nightmare. With how expensive power wheelchairs get I’m shocked they don’t come with a flight box.
Could be an organization issue, when I think of a Nintendo Switch it should be organized under Bh not Gh. Especially with an emulator which doesn’t get updates from Nintendo.
The type of engagement and audience arguably matters more.
Seems like a card to remind people to be careful when developing systems.
Seems like YC should pair more of these smaller companies together, I honestly don’t know if that would help or not. Most YC funded projects aren’t really profitable to begin with.
It’s like somewhere in between getting grant funding for a university project and real corporate work.
Terrifying, always afraid to touch unlicensed code. Tried to give most of my public code extremely open licenses because I’d assume some guy crawling the internet for a piece of code probably has enough stress in his life.
Always thought legacy admissions were kind of off.
Another advantage of web components is the syntax is similar enough to Java (especially with JavaDocs) switching between coding a Java spring backend and a Web component based front end is doesn’t need as much of a mental context switch.
If you use web components enough you realize why tools like useState exists then you have to bring in another library like alpine to offer the functionality.
The whole point of web components is the ability to offer class encapsulation within the browser without anything other than a file server.
JSX has much nicer syntax but I’d rather not have to deal with the overhead of launching a node server. Makes developing time quicker when working with smaller codebases.
Crazy people take any advice from people without citing the exact legal clause.
In America it's more like the wealthy people (typically older people who purchased homes when they were less expensive) disliking the idea of people spending time alone at home possibly deteriorating their mental health and providing mandated "normalization time" to socially adjust to what the office space defines as "normal".
Case example: The weird YouTube parents who likely never spent time with other parents and got into child abuse scandals.
Exactly how I feel about every new React framework. It’s strictly worse than using any other framework and every recruiter continues to ask for it.
Don’t want to speak too negative in regards to the orgs which use it but definitely wouldn’t be the best choice from an engineering perspective for a new project.
Sorry I am not a front end developer. I am a general software engineer please don’t effectively sabotage my career because Silicon Valley wants to make the entire discipline a group of hamsters learning tools which aren’t used by the largest organizations.
Sort of, in Northern California there was a lot of office space.
In San Diego most of the land zoned for office space is owned by the Jacob brothers (although not directly connected to Qualcomm anymore). Imagine if Google and Apple had to rent their campuses from Oracle.
Qualcomm makes lots of their money by holding a monopoly on wireless chip patents. They use lawyers to bully other companies out of the space.
You can compare this with the patent wars of the companies in Silicon Valley which came to halt when the orgs realized they were effectively giving money to lawyers instead of innovating.
Qualcomm doesn’t really have real competition in Southern California. It’s cheaper for them to bully smaller companies with lawyers than employ more engineers (not sure if it’s possible to employ more engineers in the wireless space regardless).
You could also argue Qualcomms success is related to the other companies which reside around them. They have effectively built an “office moat” with their wireless patents.
Is there a patent or something Qualcomm is trying to get from Intel? Seems like an odd acquisition otherwise.
As far as chip manufacturing they target different markets, I’d bet most IP isn’t transferable between the orgs anyway, especially since Apple bought Intels modem patents already.
As nice as it is to have a drop in replacement, most of the cost of GPU computing is moving memory around. Wouldn’t be surprised if this catches unsuspecting programmers in a few performance traps.
Worse, during my PhD my personal computer was hacked and my BitBucket account was emptied.
A few other incidents and I had to jump ship to industry. Kind of embarrassing that the university couldn’t even protect an employees from what amounts to corporate espionage and bullying.
