It's just different, it is more about the product than the technology.

Not entirely a joke actually. For example, I have worked at a large corp where dependencies were high discouraged. For example lodash was not used in the codebase I was working on and if you really needed something from lodash you were encouraged to copy-paste the function. This won't work for large libraries of course but the copy-paste-first mentality is not a bad one.

Copy-paste more.

It does. /not s

The article is about Thailand, you got the countries confused. But thanks for sharing, didn't know.

What sources do you have that support that claim?

Meme stock.

There have been a few attempts to start private L1, but based on what EY's Paul Brody says they fail due to the complexity of validator politics and inability to achieve a reasonable level of trustlessness. The more respectable public chains do not have this problem. It is also the reason why we have seen more companies launch their own L2's - L1's are just a messy business.

I am not going to say that I have the data but from what I remember that was not identified as one of the causative concerns in the book.

Subjectively I doubt that that is a systematic driver of income inequality. For example in 60s the taxes in the higher margins were extremely high (80% I think?) and worker bargaining power was strong. Yet it was a period of unprecedented growth and innovation, one where ideas of invisible hand and tide that lifts all boats were forged but in reality it was not a laissez-fair period at all.

I have not read the whole of "Capital in 21st Century", just the opening chapter. But the picture the chapter painted was quiet grim - income inequality growing rapidly every year as "innovation" and jobs declined. In other words Piketty's numbers have shown that one cannot work their way to a comfortable living years ago and IMO this is at the heart of almost all political processes these days - inability to earn a living wage. The "leaders" use a whole range of tactics to divert the discontent onto other things like big government or immigration, and those are important topics, but they are not _the_ problem. Wage stagnation is the ultimate issue.

I was not aware of that! Basically you can get sued if you are caught prioritizing employees or customers over shareholders?

Yes and no. Yes billionaires are not people to be trusted but also they are a structural problem, a CEO that does not squeeze last the last penny out of users for shareholder value is just not doing their job. Billionaires are a-holes because the corporate incentive system rewards people like them. We need new structures.

Lots of people are sceptical but I cannot imagine a use for entry level positions anymore. At my work everybody got to calling AI "the intern", which is not confusing because we do not have and have no use for interns.

What did your sister study specifically? It was not hyperemesis gravidarum by chance, was it?

Lagrangodamus!

A cool technology that builds on ZK is zkTLS that can prove that you have access to some data on the internet, for example that you have an account with some service without revealing your username. So more private oauth I suppose?

I'm over the industry cause it over-promised an under-delivered and the way it "changed" the world is largely through monopolies, extractive middlemen and manipulation.

Sure, taxes, AI, etc. matter. But my intuition is that the narrative that has driven the software industry "we are changing the world" has run out of steam and it would have without all those other things. The wild Silicon Valley success stories turned into despised monopolies, extractive middlemen, uprooters of local culture, job destroyers and hijackers of attention. I can name very few large software companies that I would not be ashamed of working for. From talking to more politically minded programmers it seems to be on a lot of people's minds, that glory days of SV/VC are over.

This is not to say that software's story is over, just that the incentive mechanisms in place have failed. We could have created protocols, interoperability, local-first apps and novel funding mechanisms but the poisoned VC/shareholder money ensured that we do not.

When Musk tweets on technical topics one can tell that either he's just trying to fool people or is completely clueless himself.

Thanks for the thorough write-up. I am also conflicted that somebody has so much power in the market but at least they are not AWS/GCP.

I am somehow out of the loop about why Cloudflare is as big as it is? There are many other CDNs, why them?

I needed to use Rhino 3D specifically because it had an environmental simulation plugin.

Tried doing 3d modeling in a Windows VM - couldn't get acceleration to pass through.

I suppose my observation is that I have never seen anybody actually have enough of notes for long enough of time (cannot imagine needing any of mine in a few years) for this to be a problem. Those people likely exist but I have not met them.

I do not understand how people have enough things to put down for posterity where they need linking between different documents, rather than a simple hierarchy. I suppose we are very different humans.

Oh, just manual template typing. That's not great. We've done that and it is error-prone. A SQL-generator infers the types from the query, for example.

How do you do typed raw queries?

I am in a startup that's using Prisma and it we really wish we had not:

- The query objects can become hard to read with anything more or less complex.

- If you need an unsupported Postgres extension you are out of luck.

- One large file in a schema, impossible to shard.

- We have many apps in a monorepo and they cannot have separate prisma connections cause the schema gets baked into "@prisma/client"

Basically the only thing useful about it are the TS types which is something SQL-builder libraries solve better. Long story short, use Kysely, Prisma provides no value that I see.

Very ext.js looking.

So is the problem of too much space junk real? If yes then how much can satellite Internet really grow?
