It’s hardly the first time someone has shipped an app within a year of starting to code. It’s impressive, but not revolutionary.

There’s a company being fined for exactly this right now. That might be a deterrent.

The descendants of Mark Zuckerberg will continue to build dynastic wealth through no skill of their own without doing any real work. Other people in the same country are single parents working multiple jobs just to keep their family sheltered and fed. You don't think that's a situation that we can improve?

Stupid Americans and their checks notes acronyms.

That is exactly the definition of a euphemism. It’s a synonym that is less harsh or blunt.

I doesn’t have to be a negative thing either. PTSD is more inclusive, since it doesn’t imply that you’ve literally had bombs dropped on you relentlessly, like shellshock does.

> "I dun fucked up, but meh" is not an acceptable attitude.

I'm cool with it. I don't care that some hard drive went bad and the monitoring system didn't pick up on it because some queue was full. Who cares? If this isn't happening constantly, I assume they're going to learn their lesson.

That really depends on what type of service we're talking about. Yeah, if you're doing really high volume sales on products that can be purchased elsewhere for close to the same price and shipping options, then uptime is critical. That's not the situation most of us are in.

The zero-downtime culture is pretty out of control. Your flight can be delayed for hours, your roads can be closed for weeks, your internet can be out for hours because someone cut a line, that's all ok, but someone can't get into your website for 3 minutes to check the status of their order and we all must lose our minds and publicly apologize and explain in detail what happened and why it will never happen again.

> I can see how it makes sense psychologically, even if not mathematically

He acknowledges this. It's about the psychological effect of seeing your list of debts grow smaller. I think a big part of his audience are people who have historically been very bad with money, which is why some of his advice seems strange to people who are already financially responsible. People with a bunch of maxed out credit cards and loans on ATVs and crap.

I tend to agree with Dave Ramsey on this point. A home loan is just about the only “good” type of debt for an individual to have. Because it tends to retain or gain value with little risk. He also recommends a 15 year loan instead of 30, which has been amazing for me.

True, but that is not the situation most of humanity is facing.

We’re not talking about running chatGPT locally though, are we?

Lol. Yes I suppose.

Also, lots of travel is based around life events. I can’t control the fact that funerals and weddings can happen at any time of year.

Well, yes, it is less secure. Though Apple has been adding more restrictions around apps having full disk access and stuff.

None of these require allowing alternative app stores. Just allowing more apps in. You don’t have to use these apps, and theres nothing inherently insecure about it.

> I don't want anything in my Rust dependency tree depending on node packages.

This is not what they’re arguing for.

> Custom builds, cross compiling, codegen, ...

That’s great, none of that is “package management”.

The point is, every language has a way to specify dependencies, find the correct versions, and download them recursively. Could that piece be made generic?

Some of the warts will likely never be fixed unfortunately. But I agree that overall it has become a much more pleasant language to use.

I’ve never met anyone in the latter category who made it through their code bootcamp.

They seem to be relying heavily on the fact that Avi Arad is involved. Just take a glance at his IMDB, his role as producer seems to have very little bearing on the quality of a movie. Yeah, he worked on Spiderverse. He's also worked on Fantastic Four (2005), Elektra, Hulk, The Amazing Spider Man, Morbius. I picked out the bad ones, but the point his, he's worked on a lot of stuff, plenty of it is trash.

So articles will be written by AI, then we'll use a different AI to condense them into actual information. Very cool future, good work everyone.

I'm reminded of the "useful myths" concept in the book Sapiens. Being very patriotic, very confident in your religion and politics was useful for most of human history. Even if you're wrong, the confidence gives you purpose, and peace. Gen-Z seems more nuanced about all of these things. I think I blame the Internet. Speaking very very broadly, millennials grew up with this type of confidence, but abandoned it in adulthood, when they became educated and emotionally ready to do so. Gen-Z has not had the same time to prepare. As teens or young adults, they are having all this thrust on them, and getting hit with nihilism really early.

One Hacker Band is a robot band that plays real instruments.

Vulfpeck fans won’t shut up about the fact that the band made their own font.

Let’s be real, the Beatles is one of the worst band names ever. People often name their band when they are young and they get stuck with it.

If Portugal the man is manufactured (entirely baseless claim) they did a pretty terrible job with it. They recorded and toured for ~15 years before getting any mainstream success.

That’s some harsh utilitarianism.

Sure, but is it really progress to swap our tooling around every couple of years? Do you know what users think about the progression of spaghetti js, to jquery, to backbone, to angular, to ember, to react, to svelte, to htmx? They don't think about it. It literally does not matter to them except that your site may have better (or worse) performance and fewer (or more) bugs.

Yeah, this is a multi-stage build where the final image will have only the statically built content in it.

I think that's totally possible. Especially when you're many seasons deep into a TV show, you have to get creative.

Meditation/introspection and a depressive state are not the same thing. Calling that dangerous is an overreaction IMO.

Why not either? Or both?
