sharksandwich··on GitHub having issues [resolved]
Microsoft acquiring Github increasing rhymes with Salesforce's acquisition of Heroku. What a shame.
sharksandwich··on Roc Lang – Elm but for everywhere [video]
I admire the consideration Richard and the rest of the Roc community put into the language, but I'm curious whether the absence of macros will unavoidably lead to code like https://github.com/agu-z/roc-pg?tab=readme-ov-file#examples . It's not obvious to me that the benefits of that constraint (teachability, language tooling) outweigh the costs of writing code that probably should be automated.

That said, I may just be showing my lisp bias, and tools like Squirrel in Gleam are sufficient https://hexdocs.pm/squirrel/

complimentary / complementary confusion is unfortunate, too
sharksandwich··on You’ve Either Shipped or You Haven’t
Brings to mind a great Teddy Roosevelt quote

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.

sharksandwich··on Statements by many lawmakers ghostwritten by lobbyists working for Genentech
My favorite part:

Asked about the Congressional statements, a lobbyist close to Genentech said: "This happens all the time. There was nothing nefarious about it."

Not sure the second statement necessarily follows the first..

sharksandwich··on Redfin Turns Profitable, Real Estate Industry Shudders
Really? The gov setting the rate is the most sensible solution? It may have worked out well in this case, but that's an awfully slippery slope. I couldn't agree more that the commissions themselves are absurdly high, I just tend to think the gov's role should be to foster a competitive environment that would allow the market to arrive at a fair rate rather than picking it themselves
sharksandwich··on Daring Fireball: Apple, Google, and Palm.
I don't quite follow you. Entirely my fault I'm sure - I'm exhausted

I can't say what criteria JoelSutherland applied in the parent post, but I think the general guidelines for patents are a good start for a discussion about the worthiness of Apple's claims

sharksandwich··on Daring Fireball: Apple, Google, and Palm.
On patents in general, Wikipedia says: 'Typically ... a patent application must include one or more claims defining the invention which must be new, inventive, and useful or industrially applicable'
