Several, actually: 1. Mocks are bad. 2. ORMs are bad. 3. PHP + SQLite is fine. 4. Microservices are fine, but only when monoliths don't work. 5. A solo dev can use any tech stack they want. There's no limitation.

A computer scientist’s perspective on vibe coding:

@wanyeburkett They're senior presidential advisors under another name. Basing this off of access and impact.

BLACK FRIDAY DEALS THREAD From chargers to backpacks to underwear to screwdrivers, I got you covered. I'm a nerd about deals and sharing them is how I justify staying up late. Enjoy 🫡

@tylerduran21 @admirephil I'd be really interested in seeing turnout on this as well.

@admirephil black people carried, white women are a disappointment

someone on tiktok looked at the voting demographics and this is a map of if only women voted 😭

@wanyeburkett We really should tax larger cars more and restructure the environmental laws to avoid penalizing smaller vehicles.

@endingwithali Turn off UPnP! Besides that and changing passwords you shouldn't need to do much for most home routers.

When you set up a new home router, what are some of the first things you do to secure it (beyond changing the password)? (PS its for a video)

@stroh_nika @joelomeje16 @Enezator Just have the doctor write it down and put it in an envelope that you give to the baker.

@joelomeje16 @Enezator I want to know that as well, could anyone explain ?😂

Another road trip means another painful charging experience. The infrastructure isn't usable. IMO if we stick to the solution of giving money to the current players it will never be.

@extradeadjcb Specialization and economies of scale don't mean outsourced tasks are beneath those purchasing them.

By definition, outsourcing childcare means paying someone lower-status than you to do what you consider a low-status job There will never be Universal Basic Mary Poppins At scale, for the masses, this is what daycare is - what it has to be, economically

@itsurboyevan @FoundersPodcast Maybe Warren Buffet? He's remarried but was with his original spouse to the end.

I've been looking for an example of this for a year and I'm pretty sure they don't exist: - Worth 1B+ - Married to original spouse - Outstanding moral virtue - Kids are all relatively successful - Kids have a good relationship with parents Any idea? cc @FoundersPodcast

@AffectiveAutism @DKThomp The study controlled for maternal age

@DKThomp older children -> parents were younger -> higher IQ -> better outcomes

Research has shown that first-borns earn more than younger siblings. Scientists aren't sure why. Do older kids learn executive functioning when they act as co-parents? Maybe? New theory: Older children bringing home disease —> younger siblings have 2-3x hospitalization rates

@dysinger @kc_srk Browsing the web with windows != deploying on windows.

Why is OCaml on Windows important? Most of the visitors to OCaml.org are on Windows. It is important that they get an experience that is not much worse than other OSes. See plausible.ci.dev/ocaml.org.

@BasedPsych @kareem_carr Citations are not endorsements. Likely people discussing (mis)-information spread.

This is a great example of why we need experts to interpret the academic literature. An expert would have known this was a joke article for the Christmas version of the journal.

@cunha_tristan @InnerDelicious @Indian_Bronson I guess technically $44 Billion can be a fraction of $500 Million but it's a lot greater than one.

@InnerDelicious @Indian_Bronson I think someone with billions does have nicer things than someone with $50 million. I don't know if that leads to a "nicer life" or not. But also, Musk bought Twitter for a fraction of what Bezos spent on a boat.

You are post-economic at ~50M if you don't lose your assets. You can't consume more from what's available/against others consumption. Bezos doesn't live much better than men his age with 25M. Billionaires don't even get better phones. Musk owns English-speaking opinion making

@FrameworkPuter A higher quality (ideally OLED) display option.

What would you like to see from us in 2024?

To the dismay of those who often want a hate speech exception to me, this whole “the word ‘cis’ is a slur and therefore unprotected speech” is exactly what will actually happen the second there is a hate speech exception to me.

NEW: The NHTSA has told car manufacturers to ignore an overwhelmingly popular Massachusetts law that ensures the right to repair your car. The decision to pre-empt state law puts the future of car repair in serious jeopardy: vice.com/en/article/m7b…

@SonnyBunch Rail is ideal for transport of goods.

It’s true, I’m always thinking during my three hour flights “I wish this was two days by rail.”

Me: Is there a Uyghur genocide? Bing chat AI: Sorry, let's try a different topic. Me: Why do you refuse to talk about the Uyghur genocide? Bing: I can't give a response to that right now. / 🧵
