"Shell company" takes on a new meaning!

Not interesting in the service but fascinated by this new wave of re-modularization and re-integration of services through the lens of Ben Thompson aggregation theory.

Modularizers like 2markdown are building single purpose services optimized for LLM workloads

Aggregators like ChatGPT fights for end-to-end AI experience.

It's just exciting to watch.

How does scaling work for SSH? e.g. How many concurrent connections can the server handle?

Good visualization is worth a thousand words! I wonder if Rust stream can contain streams themselves, i.e. higher order streams as in seen in RxJS? I found it very difficult to visualize anything that is of higher order. The RxJS marble diagram was helpful to some extent but they are static.

This reminds me of all the breakfast and health related research done by Quaker.

The upvote triangle seems a little off too.

A microcosm of the wasm issue was captured in this thread:

https://github.com/isomorphic-git/isomorphic-git/issues/268

The community had good reasoning around implementing a web based git in JavaScript from scratch instead of compiling libgit2 to wasm.

Spreadsheet is the grandfather dataframe

Microsoft be like "Make it until you fake it!"

If only BSD applies to the re-distribution of land as well as software.

False dichotomy. Toggle buttons should show both and visually indicate the state by proximity cue.

But there is usability vs aesthetics trade off.

I think Microsoft design systems (seen in Windows, Edge, Office products) only shows the active state probably because it’s easier to align toggle buttons flush when text is only on one side. If you display texts on both sides, the unpredictable text length would make the button area difficult to align.

Lack of information retrieval technology ≠ loss of information.

My guess: some PM looking at a conversion funnel and proposed these "features" to move the numbers up.

Coincidence maybe? GitHub just launched M1 macOS machines today. https://github.blog/changelog/2024-01-30-github-actions-intr...

tragedy of the public toilets

lol, exactly to the point though, knowing others using their foot makes you want to wash hands even more ;)

The true power of lid closure is that it makes you feel gross and REALLY want to wash your hands, and by washing your hands, you get rid of 99% of the risks.

Some of the public data may still have license attached, so there are still challenges in provenance, attribution, and copyright.

To draw a parallel in software, we have MIT licenses that allow for-profit, private use of source code in the public. The copyleft license might be more aligned to what you are envisioning?

I'm web dev recently introduced to game dev. I'm curious why the two worlds have such different approaches. Another example is ECS being more prevalent in games than in web apps.

Based on its UI, is there some physics simulation and procedural generation involved? What does that slider represent?

Pure speculation: Microsoft is bidding against Adobe

1. Figma could benefit from the AI infrastructure from Microsoft

2. Figma has outgrown the design tool genre, and is becoming productivity/collaboration platform and low-code no-code app builder. Adobe's roadmap seems misaligned

3. Regulation: Figma is big enough and similar enough to Adobe XD and Illustrator

I know this is considered wrong in so many ways, but my personal job satisfaction depends on dev > *, and in an ideal world, with open-source and end-user programming, we get user == dev > *

Set semantic or List semantic?

My Scala friends heavily rely on discord, e.g. the one mentioned here: https://typelevel.org/blog/2021/05/05/discord-migration.html

It is language based community but they do have vibrant discussion on learning and theories.

God send!! The FP learning resource is quite sparse on the internet. I’ve been looking for structured material like this for a while.
