> integrating with internal DBs could allow a startup to onboard and go live with customers much more quickly

The technical debt you'd accrue from this would be MASSIVE, and screw your entire architecture down to its roots. Hard pass from me.

5+ year old i7 are potato and would be a massive time waster today. Build times matter.

wtf on???

> intelligence to fly away

It's intelligence in the sense that jerking your arm away from a hotplate is intelligence, which is to say it's not cognitive reasoning, just genetically hardwired triggers.

AGI has been defined by OpenAI as something that can do most economically viable activities better than humans can. I like that approach as it strikes at the heart of the danger it really poses, which is an upending of society and destruction of our current way to generate value to each other.

Your son is a goddamn genius.

Still no Mac support... I know the technical reason why so not upset, just sad.

Noise about macOS died down back in 2018, and seems the linux port is riddled with bugs. This project is basically dead in the water.

The transformation is complete. This place is the new Reddit.

LOL that’s such a disrespectful take… the gameplay design in those games are second to none. That’s something that needs to be fine tuned from scratch each time.

"Internal folks" who gives a rats ass about what they think? A company's reputation has little to do with how people on the inside perceive it, its actions and track record do the talking.

Stadia was a classic reason I couldn't trust GCP or any Google product aside from Gmail cause I've been using it so long, because unlike you I'm NOT in the know, I just see a bunch of stuff spun out, hyped (calling it 'little stuff' is a highly subjective assertion) and axed without warning. And I won't mention what an absolute mess the android development journey has been, a related symptom of a haphazard, disorganized product strategy. These things are uniquely Google, and it's a terrible look.

The first thing I did was start making the word 'FUCK' with the pieces. As soon as others cottoned on and joined in, it was a very heart warming experience.

Its another saas product charging per seat per month, doesnt even begin to replace an actual competent developer, it’s glorified autocomplete. If it goes any higher than 20-30 bucks, I’ll have my company drop it.

So why bother advertising it now? Seems like you jumped the gun.

God I hate XKCD so much. It's a blight on the internet. I just get unreasonably angry whenever I see a link posted. This is just me venting.

And the mother is a legal scholar at Stanford, specialising in… ethics!!!

XKCD is super overrated. Cringe at times, banal at others.

‘Many’ of us are using iTunes to sync mp3s?

The fact that you need to learn a niche language like dart just to make stuff in flutter seems to me like technical baggage I could do without.

What is the operating system analogy for whacking off? Clearing the cache?

Sycophants

You know enough to say more. Say more!

Your use of semicolon hurts my soul

Sounds like sales speak, nodejs isn’t even there yet.

I work on a huge angular project and I can’t help but see svelte as a toy in comparison. Must be nice when everything just falls into place.

I would imagine that there is is an insane amount of gravitational noise from things like the planet’s asymmetry and events occurring all the way from the core to the crust, the ocean… to cut through that noise you need one big thumper.

It is in inherent of a good engineer’s thinking to always consider the worst. Problem is sometimes, it can come across as a boast, or out of touch. It’s neither. It’s really the manifest anxiety of the whole thing shitting its pants and falling over.

That’s a whole lot of salt for something that actually exists and wasn’t a load of hot air. AirPod max headphones are brilliant devices. M1 chips have made laptops fast, quiet and cool while maintaining a very impressive speed (there’s nothing gimped about the MacBook). Iphones continue to be market leaders for a reason, they unite classical consumers You can not like it, but you can’t deny it.

Maybe part of the reason they did so well is that competition sucked. Windows is a blob of cruft on top of cruft, isolating Microsoft into its own developer bubble. Android OS has been a very mixed platter, known for relying on carriers and manufacturers to keep the phones up to date (which they provably suck at)

PHP sucks though.

Caching frequently fetched complex objects to mitigate load on the Postgres DB.

You define it cause you seem to be quite confused about what that word should mean.
