This seems focused on one very particular taste in music of droning semi-random lo-fi synthesizers. I find this unlistenable without any kind of percussion.
Is this article comparing apples and oranges? For example
> loading the entire homepage only takes one query [if you're logged out]
You can do this with Next.js SSR - there's nothing stopping you from reading from a cache in a server action?
They also talk about Vercel hosting costs, but then self host Rails? Couldn't they have self hosted Next.js as well? Rails notoriously takes 3-4x the resources of other web frameworks because of speed and resources.
Decades of science show it’s beneficial, and we keep seeing the outcomes validated in practice. Calgary removed fluoride from drinking water, saw a significant increase in dental carries in children, and is adding it back. [1]
Hawaii does not fluoridate and has high rates of children’s tooth decay [2]
Which part of Europe are you in? Countries in Europe add fluoride to water, salt, milk, and Italy has naturally fluoridated water.
> The European Academy of Pediatric Dentistry
(EAPD) recently called water fluoridation "a core component of oral health policy" and adds that salt fluoridation "is suggested when water fluoridation cannot be implemented" due to
technical, logistical or political reasons.
Bluesky is currently a terrible product with a paltry number of users. The small dev team can’t compete with social media platform features. React Native means bad mobile UX.
I believe the Bluesky experiment is already over, and it was not successful.
1. Bluesky was advertised as a very open, resilient platform because of AT, impossible to fully censor, with moderation at the user level, not platform level. In reality, "Bluesky Social" is what everyone uses (not AT), which performs bans at the core levels (PDS / Relay / user account level). So it's just like any other social media platform. Still better than the Mastodon Reddit-style mod abuse problem, but not fundamentally more open than other social media platforms.
2. The second promise is that if anyone hosts their own PDS, anyone else can build their own relay and their own social media app that gets around the bans. In reality, I don't see much appetite for using someone else's distributed key-value JSON schema design. The value add isn't clear enough. Other social media platforms build their own systems, which is an intuitively natural choice.
If Bluesky is not a highly open platform, and AT has low adoption (no killer app, hasn't realized the promise/benefit of being able to aggregate data from multiple publishers) then I don't think it has a future.
Idiomatic Go is using shortened variable names, not what's in this article. I thought that was common knowledge and part of the Go ethos? I also wouldn't consider grammar in comments part of the language idioms? This is an unusual and very light take on Golang language idioms.
I don’t know what your intentions or hypothesis are, but this is a dangerous place to be a novice in. Eye health is misunderstood and most people are ignorant of the basics. If you don’t know what emmetropization is, if you don’t know who Bates is, and if you don’t know why Bates is a quack, then I strongly discourage you from experimenting with user surveys.
It’s very telling that most of the comments on the article are about Bell Labs, almost none of the comments are about the article. Few have actually read it! The writing is terrible and verbose.
What? How much money did this person make working on software they consider surveillance, before deciding they were comfortable enough to leave? Looks like they made enough money to live off “dividend income.” Something about their dad? The hell is this?
I don’t know if this is being shared intentionally given the timing of “The Gospel” AI target finder, but it is truly horrific that AI is being used this way and as an accountability target
