MLK did not succeed in his mission, that’s just a blatant lie. He won a few battles, and once he got close to real progress he was killed. No one “knew when to quit” they were decapitated and beaten into submission.

Honestly I think you have only a cursory understanding of MLKs life and mission, otherwise you wouldn’t be saying such ignorant things and trying to make him some example of why you shouldn’t be too “uppity” if you want “equality”.

You’re acting like he got tea with Hoover after they signed the civil rights act together, like it wasn’t a brutal conflict marred by violence, a full on non violent revolution, that was snuffed out.

I use it almost exclusively to help me approach novel problems, or at least problem spaces that I am severely lacking expertise in. It’s pretty incredible for helping me leverage my extant programming knowledge to accomplish things that I couldn’t before due to being blocked by research.

I’ve also used it quite a lot for advice as I was learning project management and moving away from individual contributions.

So I think as a consultant it has value, though I think “world class” might be a bit hyperbolic, since I still need to validate its output.

So you’re bearish on OpenAI because you don’t think they can deliver AGI? I don’t think they need to deliver AGI to be profitable.

I was scraping a Wordpress site a few months ago using Go and I had to spoof my user agent to get results. So it definitely happens

You’re right I should have said “vengeance” but it was early I guess, that’s my excuse anyway

Right, my point is, they killed MLK. So either he didn’t “know when to back down” or it doesn’t matter

This really doesn’t change anything about the statement. Peter Thiel had nothing to do with the incident, and utilized it to get them shutdown via the courts. Whether or not it was legal at the time is not relevant to Thiels actions, which were not born from a sense of justice but from a desire for vindication.

They murdered MLK for his beliefs, he didn’t “settle” for anything.

Each of those links is a published correction and retraction of previous statements as new information came to light so they seem like principled journalists, with their tongues planted firmly in their cheeks.

I think it’s just a path a lot of developers have traveled, starting with JavaScript and moving to TypeScript. If you’ve gone through that pipeline than you probably feel very strongly about the benefits that TypeScript provides and it’s the fulcrum for your opinion on static vs dynamic typing

Too many web developers, basically, I don’t think the conflation is intentional

Or Florida

It’s cost exactly $0 to not produce poison

Curious what you think of folks like John Oliver, Stephen Colbert?

I did specify hooks + context, not just context. Hooks + context together can be cobbled together into an adequate state management solution for most apps, this article even agrees with me. So not sure what your point is lol

There’s a pretty massive difference between fraudulently staging a crime and telling jokes

Are they jokes or are they claims? This discourse is deeply confused

He quite literally blended the line between fact and fiction, I’m not sure what you’re trying to highlight with this tbh. Mark Twain framed plenty of stories as being true experiences, which almost certainly did not happen. Television, obviously, did not exist yet.

My comment was meant to be a more humorous jab at my own efforts as a software engineer but in re reading I think it came across as rude and I apologize.

I think if you feel strongly about something you should defend it!

I’ve written a lot of react apps (first used it in a hackathon in 2014) and this list is really just fluff. hooks + context make all of these libraries pretty much unnecessary for most react apps as they are not that complex

I think the more glaring criticism is the lack of any unified component library. The amount of different Button implementations alone is astounding

I don’t know about you, but I have bills that need paid. I’ll clutch my pearls over something else

I was not familiar with Lindy as a concept but even the author seems to contradict themselves, in one passage claiming to be taking an approach which relies on mature technology and then in the next passage talking about how great htmx is.

I think even by the authors stated definition, Go would not be considered Lindy.

The approach shown is clever and interesting though!

“shit happens” as they say

This is really only a problem in densely urban areas and even then not across all of them. To say public restrooms are hard to find in America is I think a mischaracterization. It would be more fair to say public restrooms are hard to find in American cities, but then Id wager all urban areas around the globe have struggled with this problem in one way or another.

Anecdotally, in my hometown in Florida I’ve never had an issue finding a bathroom, not even in larger cities like Orlando and Tampa. But my experience finding bathrooms in Seattle, Washington was quite horrendous.

one instance of shitting in the street is hardly a sign of a “significant problem” calm down hoss

Would be amazing if this had its own formatter and linter as well, like go. That would make go + bun a dream for writing web apps

Either way still excited to check it out

Currying looks surprisingly great in JavaScript

This is my thought as well, if you want your web app to function as a native app then make it progressive. Perhaps ToDesktop offers us something the PWA does not

My first question is why?

But I won’t judge and I think I can help! I would recommend HVAC or electrical work for a programmer. I manage the software team of a relatively large trade company which specializes in these fields. Many of our electricians are hobbyist programmers. Having done field work with both electricians and HVAC technicians I can say that both fields will provide you with challenging problems, and a familiar diagnostic and repair process to fixing software. I think HVAC is much easier to jump in to compared to electrical work (and you will still work on low voltage electrical components) so I would recommend looking for work in that space.

HOWEVER this is extremely hard work. I would not willingly trade places with any of our electricians. While it can be very fulfilling and enjoyable for the right type of person, what you’re talking about is essentially taking less pay to do more and harder work. And in that sense I would urge you to reconsider. But if it’s something that truly truly interests you, HVAC should be really easy to get into as long as it’s an active industry in your area.

I believe it only goes up to 200, at which point it just says 200+

ya this gave me quite a hearty chuckle. I’m sure the content of the article is excellent but it’s impossible to read on my viewport
