There’s definitely more nuance and degree.

VS Code was a copycat of Atom. Dotnet copied Java.

I use and enjoy my microsoft stack (F#, Github, Azure, etc) but they definitely aren't "original".

It's like they built a nice large city where it's pleasant to live, but lacks the charm of a more intimate town.

Is a single plant a garden?

Is that like Tauri except it’s dotnet instead of rust?

I do a lot of F# on Mac/Linux and use sublime. All the nice IDE-like features are accessible through an LSP package for your code editor.

Oh i do remember this happening a long time ago but haven't had that issue in like 6 months.

Although in my case it might have been a specific Language Server Protocol (LSP) package I was using that was consuming 100%+ of my CPU (they fixed it).

Used to have an issue where my bluetooth headphones would annoyingly hiccup every minute or so while listening to music.

> Typing lags horribly in Sublime Text

Fascinating. I use Sublime daily on my M2 MacBook Air and haven't encountered this.

With all these GUI apps crashing and monitor problem, I wonder if there was an issue with his specific Mini Pro, like with the GPU.

Now there’s only a few more models left that support fine tuning? None of the new ones do.

Why does it matter that it’s a headset? People already do this on their phones.

Oh haha. Yeah. I guess “western” in this case. Listed on the NYSE.

Interestingly, both flow and typescript have roots in OCaml/F# respectively. Flow was written in OCaml and the creator of Typescript was on the F# team at Microsoft.

Worse, Tencent owns like 40% of Epic. Ironically would have been better if Bandcamp were acquired by Spotify, because then it would at least be owned by a public American company.

Except in this case the CEO sold a few million in stock weeks ago.

Maybe a law on the corporate side would be good? Like you can’t have more than $50mm or 25% of cash (if greater than $10mm) in a single institution for more than a single quarter. (My numbers are not based on anything)

It could also prevent the largest banks from being the only safe place since you can’t park all your cash there.

So... he put his money where his mouth was? Sounds better than putting it in SVB.

Yes, Brokerages have SIPC which is basically the same as FDIC.

Going forward, companies might have their cash balanced across 2-3 banks and 2 brokerage accounts. The company I work for announced that we had only 5% of our cash in SVB, which is fine since it will eventually be paid back but we have other cash to use in the meantime.

Plus there's a lot of highly specialized engineers required to keep all those GPUs up and running during training and the ML engineers who are skilled in deep learning + hardware, plus the systems for gathering/cleaning/labelling data. Gather enough engineers and now you need managers, PMs, etc.

At least $10 million/yr just for the talent.

> Signal says it'll shut down in UK

> At least Northern Ireland and Scotland will be spared. The Home Office legislative proposals, if adopted, will apply only to England and Wales

So… will signal shut down in the UK or just England/Wales?

Easy. We’re getting better at prompt engineering.

I don’t mind ads, what I’m paying for is time. I don’t like ads where I have to wait for them to end.

Same. Which is a tough spot for YouTube. The user's with the most disposable income and possibly niche targets for high value products are inaccessible.

I only pay $9-10 per month, whereas there are some companies who would pay way more for me (eng leadership/founder) to learn about their product. It would be very expensive CAC (cust. acquisition cost) but maybe worth it for a some niche products.

Maybe Google needs a way to "recommend" reviews for products in the video recommendations so that businesses can pay for placement (like Google Ads).

I would think that all of the middle managers have an incentive to balloon the company because it gives them more status.

So the top leaders are fed a bad hiring strategy from their lieutenants. It is ultimately the C-Suites responsibility to keep middle managers in line but it would be difficult to push back on the army of middle managers in a bull market when they could just leave if they don't get their "career growth".

The cynic in me wonders if the black pill is that these boom/bust cycles in employment are mostly unavoidable. Maybe it does make more sense to balloon during a boom, grow more than you need like a chipmunk hoarding acorns. Better to have the talent and not need it than to need it and not have it.

It seems to be a theme with AI.

Scale.ai (no affiliation, not a customer) has a product called Spellbook

zero day OS-level exploit by some govt? idk.

Another benefit I'm not seeing is that sass/less/minifiers can now target this new native nesting for the output, which would reduce the overall byte size of the output.

So you don't need to use nesting in your code if you don't want to, but can still take advantage for smaller minified css files using a transpiler.

theoretically the phone could still record all audio and then sync with the cloud when back online, but I'm grasping at straws here.

I usually make modal position:fixed and use JavaScript to position them in the center or wherever. Same for drop-down menu’s when you click a button.

Yeah it seems like they're announcing their high-level aspirations, so not really note-worthy yet.

I read "A cross-platform GUI library for Rust" but never saw any specifics. Is this targeting MacOS, Windows, Linux?

Same. Another reason is I don't like how Github inserts "Forked from ..." in the project name. If your "fork" becomes extremely divergent after a couple years (maybe you had a different vision for the project), you are still stuck with the "Fork from..." sub-header, which basically tells users that they should look at the original. I'm otherwise fine putting attribution in a README.
