Depending on the goals of the page I would say its not up to the developer either. Developer/designer/pm whoever should ask the user: is this part of the page/content meaningful to you to load first?

Unless you have something specific you want to communicate and then its up to you to decide whatever you find meaningful to show first.

Hardmaru recently returned to twitter and everything shared is immediately fire

At the day job they have configured Teams to delete direct messages within a couple of days already. Curious how that would be looked at…

(although I wouldn’t be surprised if msft keeps a copy still because of this reason)

On a higher level, the trend a couple of years ago to have big video banners & highly complex interactive websites with lots of moving content does seem to have turned a bit. You still see it a bit from these more designerly 'award-winning' websites that start up with a loading bar...

But now tools such as Google Lighthouse and Next.js logging first load file sizes makes it quite tangible to focus the team on and advocate for faster first meaningful content paints.

Lots of platforms and ways of measuring nft volume. Some analysis I have worked on / looking at over the past couple of months within the a bit more underground art nft scene* on the Tezos chain.

Generative art tokens based on block-hash on fxhash: https://thestackreport.xyz/articles/permissionless-generativ...

Objkt.com platform showing pretty much steady activity throughout the year: https://thestackreport.xyz/dashboards/tezos/contracts/KT1Wvz...

Consistent activity (i.e. contract calls), steady nr of users (active wallets) and increasing peaks in xtz volume as well showing real possibilities of returns for artists.

*(Which is way more interesting, experimental & compassionate than any of the hyped up pfp clone & "play-to-earn" projects.)

Not expecting it to be this extreme. Seems to me the vast majority of people just want to fit in with whats “normal”.

In my first years as design student I spent quite some time programming in the Arduino IDE because it worked pretty much out of the box plug-n-play.

Happy to see an integrated rich serial data plotter. One of my tricks used to be to do a: Serial.print(inputVal * 100 * "-") to get a basic visual 'chart' stream going to test sensor inputs and the like.

Smart move to pool these things together to dominate HN etc for a week or so. A release every ~2 months or so feels bite size but combined you got a full feast.

SV is getting a lot of mind share because of packaging 'technology' into end consumer products/services iphone, facebook social networks etc and yes taking a big share of the profits. But for some decades already its been a global network and supply chain enabling all of the supporting components and systems.

TSMC & Samsung manufacture in Taiwan, Korea with ASML machines from the Netherlands, cloud servers running Linux (finish developer) enable app developers in every corner of the world.

Would love to see some public pages and visualisations for these kinds of data feeds but I'm guessing they want to keep the data from the botnet operators. A bit of digital fog of war.

seems not that long ago "can it run doom" was the benchmark, now we are already up to doom 3.

Stand still and ask yourself these questions:

Does anyone care about my opinion?

Will my opinion have any impact on the situation?

Not necessarily my expertise but if as stated by the article, 2 lines of code can already get a 2x performance gain, what more can be done to improve performance in the coming years?

Wow wasn't aware of this long history.

My hot take for which I'm sure I'll get some hate is all languages should just include js-style arrow functions

We are all standing on shoulders of giants. I don't think there is any software developer who can credibly claim they have not benefitted from open source software one way or another. So one of the virtues of open-sourcing your work is about paying it forward.

title does seem to hint at [1] indeed

Liking the authors idea of at least highlighting where people should start to read more critically where statements of fact seem to be made.

I like the term data provenance. How do you capture & communicate where data supporting the statement comes from?

Still quite some progress to be made there with data literacy in terms of educating people to read charts, assess measurement techniques and methodology.

The main thing I would say is more and especially legacy companies should have clear open source policies & IP strategy to enable employees to quickly assess if they can build their work openly.

Curious what did more to reframe the lambda keyword into a generic term for simple functions, AWS lambda or python lambda

Yeah I respect the choice although would have liked to see a different license.

Would have expected a namedrop of Zen And The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance with that title

Some of the best functional data vis out there. For those wondering the chart type used by daisy disk is called a zoomable sunburst.

I'd say two things: 1. Proof to players that game actions are actually permanent instead of something that a server moderator can change at will. 2. A publicly accessible API layer which does not need to be paid for by the developer* that can be used for community-driven plugins & third-party integrations, guild & tournament websites etc.

(*because it is paid for by transaction fees)

You'd think it would be the ideal candidate for nft integrations but seems their experiment with minting kill certificates on the tezos chain was short lived...

Smart contract that performs arbitrage on a variety of (stable) coins on the Tezos chain being traded on multiple decentralised exchanges at once. It seems to check small price differences between the dexes/liquidity pools and resolves any potential arbitrage opportunity.

Recently a new web-based fully gpu driven graph visualisation engine was released and it could handle quite some big graphs directly in the browser: https://twitter.com/hoogerwoord/status/1568188361503907840?s...

Happy that people are building new graph visualisation engines and I think still a very open space for innovation in interactively exploring graph/network structures.

wow, thats a nice example as well

Yeah lots of “cart before the horse” happening in this space. When talking about games these days we often imagine rich engaging audio/visual interactive experiences. The crypto people don’t really seem to understand that kind of game.

But there are also more turn-based games which really are about the mechanics of which items/stats/buildings/lands you have, what their effects are, how to level up etc which all could be encoded in the chain. Its not a mainstream gaming format but thats where crypto ‘gaming’ could provide a new kind of experience. Although I would say the term on-chain game is more specific. The “game” could become as much about finding tools that give you an edge in accessing and navigating the on-chain data from yourself and other ‘players’. The genre is then competitive turn-based strategy with a turn timer (block time). I would compare it to playing competitive Civilisation with full map vision and real cash rewards. Which isn’t really mainstream gaming atm although I’m sure there is a minor audience for it, but for now I expect real on-chain gaming to stay pretty niche.

Charts show how many offers and asks are placed, how many wallets are interacting, the mean/median/sum of xtz transacted per marketplace interaction.
