I'd be interested to hear the author's answer to your question, but I see it as an interesting proof-of-concept. It's testing the viability of not only rewriting PostgreSQL in Rust (and their choice of deps) but also in…

I agree: there is no precise, objective way to compare the utility of two arbitrary wealth distributions, and redistribution does not always maximize the total well-being of society. Yet I assert it's useful to ask if…

Well, I qualified with "here in California", and I don't know if that's where tancop lives. I think the current situation is not great, but I'd want to fix it by investigating why we're seemingly unable/unwilling to…

Can you give me an example of a UX problem that you attribute to the password manager? That'd help me understand. I often hit problems with 1Password's autofill on particular websites, but by and large I blame the…

I don't think people are upvoting this for the fact at the top of "say something surprising" [1], but it indeed surprised me: > I can write 500MB/s to a hard drive? that's so much! Turns out a Seagate 2X18 can write at…

I'm typing on a SoflePLUS2 right now. It's based on the Sofle v2 design, which is described as having a 5-key thumb arc per side. But I try to limit thumb use to the innermost 2 or 3 keys per side after experiencing…
Totally agree. They even vibe-wrote the paragraph I quoted. I'd go so far as to say people who prompt AI to do something they can't do themselves are essentially non-technical management. I'm not a fan of non-technical…
I think the distinction __s is making is between layer toggles (layer is active between layer key presses, described as stateful) vs layer modifiers (layer is active while layer key is held). And there are definitely…
In an earlier thread, I wondered [1] if "concentrating around AI-native talent" in a round of layoffs was code for "we're firing all the old people", if "AI-native talent" meant people who had never learned how to do…
Hmm. I don't do game development myself, so take this with a healthy dose of salt. But...not necessarily. I think game development might be one of the more varied of the domains I mentioned. If you want to actually…
Is there a particular domain you'd like to get into? It sounds like you're wanting to build expertise in something other than CRUD app assembly, but my language recommendations might change based on whether that's…
