sharlos201068··on Were software engineers blue-collar workers all along?
And a bricklayer's income is dependent on their investment in food they eat every day. Not a terribly useful distinction though.
sharlos201068··on How SpaceX streamlined the Raptor engine
I don't like Musk, butt that's not really that unusual. Starliner has been in development for much longer and still doesn't work.
sharlos201068··on A week of using Codex more than Claude
SpaceX's valuation is as an AI company that happens to launch rockets on the side.
sharlos201068··on A week of using Codex more than Claude
There's a difference between not trusting a company because it's a company driven to chase profit at the expense of everything else, versus the same thing but it's run by a literal nazi that uses his companies as leverage to undermine democracy and enrich himself.
sharlos201068··on TypeScript 7
I remember reading they're rebuilding it to use the same LSP as other languages instead of its custom thing.
sharlos201068··on TypeScript 7
To be fair, this wasn't just rewriting the software, it was translating logic in JS largely one-to-one into Go.
sharlos201068··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
They don't need to be sapient to be dangerous though
sharlos201068··on Why do we tell ourselves scary stories about AI?
How many people are needed to make up the difference to 100% though?
sharlos201068··on My Favorite PostgreSQL 18 Feature: Virtual Generated Columns
That's still not a column and isn't included with things like select *
sharlos201068··on Areal, Are.na's new typeface
Not on a windows machine it wasn't.
sharlos201068··on Run TypeScript code without worrying about configuration
I don't think there's much good reason not to compile to JavaScript for production. For local Dev and tests it simplifies things though
sharlos201068··on JavaScript's New Superpower: Explicit Resource Management
I can't think of any JS value that could need cleaning up that isn't an object.
sharlos201068··on Devs say AI crawlers dominate traffic, forcing blocks on entire countries
Crawlers aren't interested in fake pages that aren't linked to anywhere, they're crawling the same pages your users are viewing.
sharlos201068··on From Languages to Language Sets
That just seems like an evolution of what many of the level 2 languages can do without compromising on their primary definition of being statically typed and interpreted.
sharlos201068··on Customizable HTML Select
Maybe, but adding search to this element is still a lot easier than a fully custom one.
sharlos201068··on E Ink’s color ePaper tech gets supersized for outdoor displays
Probably because they'd be cheaper and easier to see in direct sunlight.
sharlos201068··on Starship Flight 5: Launch and booster catch [video]
Even the worst expected impacts of climate change will leave earth tremendously more habitable than anywhere else in the solar system.
sharlos201068··on To Be Born in a Bag
That already can and does happen. Orphans are still human, even if they never had parents or family to care for them.

Humanity is something you are, not how you were made, or the circumstances of your birth.

sharlos201068··on To Be Born in a Bag
If a person can have a fetus removed from their body without invasive or dangerous surgery and still have it survive, I don't see too many ethical issues with limits on abortion where it's more than just a small clump of cells.

The whole issue with restricting abortion is no one is entitled to the use of my body, even if they need it to live. However if they don't require another person's body and could instead survive outside the body, I think abortion becomes morally worse than allowing it to come to term in an artificial womb.

sharlos201068··on Node.js adds experimental support for TypeScript
That’s not correct, there’s several ways the actual type of a value differs from what typescript thinks it is. But soundness isn’t a goal of typescript.
sharlos201068··on Speeding up the JavaScript ecosystem – Isolated Declarations
Types are also documentation for the developers reading and editing the code.
sharlos201068··on Ladybird browser spreads its wings
Keeping up with an already built browser is too hard so we’ll create an entirely new browser that takes even more work?
sharlos201068··on Ladybird browser spreads its wings
How did it work in the EU? Almost the entire planet uses Chrome including the EU.
sharlos201068··on Anti-patterns in event-driven architecture
We use an event driven architecture at work and find it works quite well, however events are for communicating between services across business domains and owned by different teams.

If you have some logic A and B running on user input, I wouldn't be splitting that across different services.

sharlos201068··on Anti-patterns in event-driven architecture
How is that any different for an API-driven architecture? You'd need to track down all consumers of your API you're wanting to make a breaking change to.
sharlos201068··on The push to ban ransom payments is gaining momentum
Plus if companies are less likely to pay the ransom, ransoming companies becomes less profitable.
sharlos201068··on Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript
Not sure how it would have any concerns greater than importing JavaScript files.
sharlos201068··on Streaming HTML out of order without JavaScript
That's not what the op is asking for, iframes are in their own self-contained context.
sharlos201068··on The 'banned' Star Trek episode that promised a united Ireland
I don't think being a simple majority was the issue with brexit, it was the fact people were voting on a vague question with no clear outcome.

Politicians were promising a brexit that could never happen.

sharlos201068··on Science fiction authors were excluded from awards for fear of offending China
Of course you felt safe, you weren't publically opposing the regime.
