I wish more people would hold Sam Altman’s feet to the fire, hold him to some semblance of accountability. Because the man has made an entire career of failing upwards, from launching a short lived startup that imploded, to suddenly becoming president of ycombinator, to suddenly being worth billions of dollars, and literally paying people in the third world (with monopoly money, of course) for their eyeballs

Oh and there’s the whole thing where he might have molested his kid sister, which is always seemingly glossed over

Even Ed Zitron, who isn’t afraid to go after someone (see his articles about the guy who destroyed Google search) seems to handle Sam with kid gloves

I still reach for sass for a lot of things, but now you don’t have to, which is really nice

But now who will donate pretend coats for the virtually needy?!

You’re a moron if you use this.

We seriously need a way to sandbox apps, where they cant see shit outside their sandbox

Not only that, but with toolchains like deno, it’s almost enjoyable

I wrote some telegram bots in deno and it’s got one of the cleanest deploy chains around, just compile to an executable for the target architecture, and SCP it over. Exec is statically linked, and so it just works

Time is a flat circle. I remember when honeycomb launched with a bottom navbar, only for Google to delete it later in favor of a (terrible) phone like gui

Apple has done this many times before. Over even more frivolous patents (i.e. a glossy black rectangle)

They made their bed, now they have to lie in it

I’ve only ever worked in one codebase that didn’t need feature flags, and even then we could have used them.

They should stick them on swappa. Kindles hold value fairly well, and they’re great gifts to kids, as they can often encourage reading

Pixel

After getting burnt by both the Google endorsed Xoom and the Google branded Nexus 10, I don’t trust them at all when it comes to tablets.

With both, Google released good products, and then proceeded to ruin them with abhorrent changes to the software. They made the Nexus 10 dump it’s tablet interface in favor of a big phone UI ffs.

Graphite is ok, but honestly it’s a solution in search of a problem

Maybe if you have a massive pr, splitting it up like this works, but that’s really a planning failure. Stories should be smaller, and if you need to keep them separate for a long time, use feature branches

Fwiw Android has had auto deleting 2fa codes in it’s messaging app for at least 2 years now

Would you use them when building things for a client? If yes, then yes. No one gets mad at a carpenter for buying nails.
