I honestly did not know Node had all of these things now, but that is great to hear. Clearly I haven't been keeping up well enough.

Node didn't have all of these features when I initially went down the path of choosing Bun, so I have a number of existing projects that have Bun baked into them.

There is the SpaceX acquisition rumor, but that's not why.

I only use Cursor through the CLI, and while the UX of the CLI is pretty bad, I've found their harness (the prompts they use and orchestration of LLMs) to be nothing short of incredible. I can't comment on their agent development environment given I haven't spent a lot of time with it.

The reason I'm moving away from Cursor is cost. Unfortunately, if you want to use the SOTA models from both OpenAI and Anthropic you basically have to go direct through their subsidized plans.

This is a good take, and I hope you're right.

One favorable way to phrase it for Anthropic is they acquired Bun because CC and other internal tooling depended on it so heavily and they questioned it's future as purely OSS.

It remains to be seen how things will actually unfold.

I do—commented on another thread, but:

  On Linux (maybe only certain distros, not sure) the keys are different, 
  but you can enable a Compose key and enable special character keybinds as well.
  
  For example on Mint:
    en–dash is "<compose> <minus> <minus> <period>"
    em—dash is "<compose> <minus> <minus> <minus>"

The post mentions that Reddit calculates a $20M/yr opportunity cost to allowing Apollo to continue running as-is. Apollo is trying to say that $10M one-time is a bargain if Reddit truly believes the users are worth $20M/yr.

I don't think Apollo is using this argument as some sort of leverage. Reading through the post, they seem well aware that they are defenseless. They only have the court of public opinion.

I am assuming you're joking, but in the event you are not I can add some commentary here.

If an employer wants employees willing to go the extra mile, then they should offer compensation for those who choose to go the extra mile. This could come in the form of a performance bonus. The people who simply want to do the work they are paid to do and nothing more/less (i.e. the people the media is calling "quiet quitters") will get no additional bonus.

The name "quiet quitting" is disingenuous, as it leads you to think that it means someone is "quitting" when in fact they are just doing what they are paid to do.

It has been awhile since I used the GCP admin, but I am intimately familiar with how awful the Azure UI is... is it really better than GCP? I have never liked how Azure seems to be designed as if you're in a virtual machine or something. The horizontal scrolling is a mess.

I use the following, in addition to NextDNS.

  - uBlock Origin
  - Privacy Possum
  - DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
  - WebGL Fingerprint Defender
  - Font Fingerprint Defender
  - AudioContext Fingerprint Defender
  - CSS Exfil Protection

stablecoins subvert the ability of the Federal Reserve to print money and give it to their friends at Goldman Sachs et al

... and now the owners of the stablecoin can print money and give it to friends of the stablecoin.

I don't see how stablecoins are any better than the Federal Reserve. If anything they are strictly worse. The owners of the stablecoin are semi-anonymous and have no governing body. I get that "no governing body" might be a good thing in some people's minds, and I think the OP highlights exactly who those people are.

I'm sure outside of my personal bubble this won't be an issue, but I've found the buzz generated from this announcement to be kind of off-putting. The sheer amount of promotion leading up to this announcement has been in my face now for weeks and kind of driving me nuts.

That being said I see no reason to not welcome another competitor in this space... and it's free. I'm sure you are right and this will gain popularity, though the competition is stiff.

Please explain how someone can have an ironclad DRM implementation that guards access to download a link to a jpeg on a public blockchain that you want everyone to be able to view.

Yes, it is a completely contrived marketplace based on bragging rights. It seems to work, but it is incredibly stupid and eventually people will move on.

Take a trip down memory lane to see the initial sentiment from the few HN commenters about Bitcoin. No mention of energy consumption, but other than that I think HN still holds the same general feelings about Bitcoin.

TypeScript 4.5 RC 5 years ago

It's small, but type modifiers on import names is really nice to have. I've had issues with linting in the past complaining about duplicate imports.
