Definitely less talent.
shdh··on Google's expansion plans show why Canada's tech boom is here to stay

My problem with most of these new languages (Zig, Odin, V, Nim, etc.) is that they lack an ecosystem.

Lots of niceties don't exist yet.

shdh··on Ask HN: What are your experiences with Svelte (JS framework)
I've written applications using JQuery, AngularJS, Angular, Polymer, and Vue. And I can easily say Svelte provides the best development UX of the bunch.

I get more done with less code, the code is more readable. I notice other frameworks creating hacky solutions to solve simple problems that Svelte just handles out of the box.

shdh··on Vue.js v3 released (pre alpha)
I just wish there was TypeScript support.

Assuming this is true, plenty of people still slip through the cracks

shdh··on 8chan goes dark after hardware provider discontinues service
> The already radicalised don't go away, but de-platforming does help.

It helps prevent the on-boarding of people who can be potentially radicalized.

There is also plenty of astroturfing also going on in this message boards by entities that want to cause chaos.

shdh··on How I Side Project
Core functionality first, polish later.

If functional utility is found you'll continue to garner an audience. Otherwise you're polishing something people don't want/need.

> Employers would be forced to pay higher wages and people would be more easily to retrain for different jobs.

Labor has long been subject to outsourcing as a result of entities trying to reduce costs and increase profits.

shdh··on I'm donating $150/month to the musl libc project
> Now if I'm being honest about my motivations for this blog post, it's that I want to prove that open source funding is not a zero-sum game.

Honest.

> If there's anything we've learned from the V language Internet drama that has unfolded over the past few days, it's that open source projects have to do marketing if they want to get financial support.

Marketing or usefulness.

shdh··on Silicon Valley's Van-Dwellers [audio]
> Ellen Tara James-Penney, a 54-year-old lecturer at San Jose State University, parks her old Volvo at one of those safe-haven churches, Grace Baptist Church, and eats in its dining hall. She is paid $28,000 a year to teach four English classes and is carrying $143,000 in student debt after earning two degrees.

Can't imagine having a lecturer that sleeps in their car. A sorry state of affairs.
