Cannot relate. I do not have notifications enabled on my Pebble.

I don't have any guilt over not having enough steps at the end of the day. But I am walking more thanks to my smartwatch.

I can start a timer in seconds when I am meditating, when I am cooking, when I am starting the watching machine. Also I have made a little app that shows me the weights and reps and sets I need to do for my powerlifting programme. I don't have to bring my phone to the gym. Lastly, I made a little app that shows me one thing I need to be doing for my morning routine or the next TODO on my todo list. A god send for someone suffering from ADHD.

To generate the $309 billion needed to service their debt, the AI industry will need to replace 46.8 million jobs, equivalent to around 27% of the current number of jobs in the US.

Lump of labour fallacy spotted.

There is a way to implement this functionality in an interoperable way that complies with the DMA. Apple just chose not to. Not because it's impossible to implement it in a privacy-respecting way, it just wants to lock people into their ecosystem, the exact thing DMA is protecting users against.

Apple realized its standard malicious compliance playbook won't fly this time, so now they're trying to sway public opinion by not rolling out this feature in the EU. It won't work. They're just going to lose market share and will have to backtrack when they do. Tech regulation doing its job.

What's excellent about it is that almost all exercises do not just include the problem statement, but also an explanation of Elixir syntax and standard libraries. There's also a ton of resources to in-depth resources. And there are extensive dependencies configured between exercises so you learn everything in a gradual way.

So all in all, a lot of love and effort has been poured into the Elixir track specifically.

Pretty sure Java didn’t slop code its APIs in 1998.

Remix v3 uses TypeScript.

The philosophy is to not rely on heavyweight bundlers too much but to stay closer to the web platform. They don’t invent their own bundler, from what I can tell they are using esbuild.

And it is not that hard to imagine a better UI framework than React…

And for what?

One benefit they mention is that staying closer to web APIs makes it more future proof. I believe it. React does not even ship an ESM build. It has given up trying to keep up and expects everyone to just bend over backwards to adapt to its sprawling, aging codebase.

It is just awful and the entire composition does not make sense. Why is there a globe in the sky? Why is the text ‘open access’ there which is a completely different topic?

No thought or skill went into that image besides the prompt that the author wrote in 10 seconds. It signals that the author probably didn’t put any effort in the article as well.

No it doesn't, unfortunately.

The permission model implements a "seat belt" approach, which prevents trusted code from unintentionally changing files or using resources that access has not explicitly been granted to. It does not provide security guarantees in the presence of malicious code. Malicious code can bypass the permission model and execute arbitrary code without the restrictions imposed by the permission model.

Deno's permissions model is actually a very nice feature. But it is not very granular so I think you end up just allowing everything a lot of the time. I also think sandboxing is a responsibility of the OS. And lastly, a lot of use cases do not really benefit from it (e.g. server applications).

I don't really understand what the value proposition of Bun and Deno is. And I see huge problems with their governance and long-term sustainability.

Node.js on the other hand is not owned or controlled by one entity. It is not beholden to the whims of investors or a large corporation. I have contributed to Node.js in the past and I was really impressed by its rock-solid governance model and processes. I think this an under-appreciated feature when evaluating tech options.

Maybe if you can deliver information in small chunks in an interesting way that doesn't require a large attention span, it will work.

But if I have to read a wall of text, it's not an alternative to doomscrolling, it's an alternative to reading a book or documentation. And in that case I'd rather read a book or documentation.
