It’s stabs all the way down

Eh, it’s fine. It has some bad choices baked into it, but what language doesn’t? And JS in 2025 is miles better than JS in 2005.

I wouldn’t choose it for every project, but it’s a reasonable choice in many cases.

And unlike a regular Linux distro, you’ll have zero leftover systemd units or config files floating around in your FHS dirs. (You’ll have the binaries for Gnome sitting in /nix/store until you do a GC, so you can still quickly switch back if you want to.)

The trunk metaphor doesn’t work very well in Git, because branches aren’t long-lived containers of sequential commits the way they are in SVN. There is no “root” commit that is guaranteed to have a consistent relationship with main, because branches are just names attached to a commit and can be reassigned at will.

“We have made a commitment to our employees that all of these efficiency gains, and especially the applications of AI, should also, to some degree, come back in their pay cheques so that they are fully … incentivised [and] aligned with the investors, to drive these changes through the company.”

All… to some degree

Also worth noting that you need to be on US soil in order to apply for asylum. It’s common for migrants to cross the border without permission and immediately turn themselves in, because it’s the only reliable way to initiate an asylum review.

If they are later granted asylum, would you still consider that illegal?

I hate this timeline so much

Like AI companies care about business ethics

Ever put a task in your todo list or calendar, but forget what it means later?

only a tool

“The essence of technology is by no means anything technological”

Every tool contains within it a philosophy — a particular way of seeing the world.

But especially digital technologies… they give the developer the ability to embed their values into the tools. Like, is DoorDash just a tool?

My Lua experience is about 15 years old at this point, but back then I recall Luarocks had like 10 packages that were actually stable and maintained. Basically a ghost town. I’m gonna guess it hasn’t gotten much better.

Cuz health insurance and health care are both very expensive fields, and they’re in opposition to each other, so they both tend towards monopoly.

And from the consumer’s perspective:

• It’s hard to predict your health care needs
• It’s hard to comparison shop during a health emergency
• It’s hard to predict how your health care will get coded to the insurer

$10-20mil in the year 2571 is like $0.15 today

There would be no incentive to become a billionaire if you have to give away 0.1% of it! It only grows at like 8% a year in the first place! 😭😭😭
