41,796,501 | comment | swiftcoder | 2024-10-10T07:36:34 | null | By that definition, pretty much the only apps that qualify for local first are document stores. I'm not convinced that it is useful to narrow the definition that far (nor that most of the local first advocates would agree with such a narrowing).<p>We're basically talking about 1 bit of state that the light is authoritative about (on/off), versus all the other state that your copy of the app can be authoritative about (configuration, schedules, etc). | null | null | 41,774,674 | 41,742,278 | null | null | null | null |

You can call it anything you want, but if you call it "Evas Blummenladen", people will wonder why you spelled "Blumen" wrong. Now sometimes people do that in names as a play on words etc., but here it just doesn't make sense.<p>In the same way, people will wonder why you spelled "Eva's" in "Eva's Blumenladen" wrong, if you spell it that way.<p>Yes, if enough people start doing a wrong thing, it'll eventually become "right", and I guess in 100 year's we can put apostrophy's where'ever we wa'nt, but currently it still looks odd, and like something that is foreign to German, and imported from English. Because unlike in English, in German this apostrophy doesn't stand for an omitted letter in the genitive singular ending. | null | null | 41,789,142 | 41,787,647 | null | null | null | null |
41,796,504 | comment | Al-Khwarizmi | 2024-10-10T07:36:43 | null | I'm also like that. When I was a child (not sure what age), I would take two pencils and write one line with the left hand, and the next with the right, indistinctly. But my school teachers said I should choose one and stick to it (not sure if that would still be advised today). I really had no preference so my mother advised me to choose the right, as it would give me less trouble due to everything being designed for right-handers, etc. A reasonable advice.<p>I did so, and now I wouldn't be able to write with my left hand, but when I take up a new activity, it's still basically arbitrary. For example, I started playing golf recently, and I deliberately chose the right-handed way for the same reasons as for writing (it's easier to find right-handed clubs, etc.) but I could have chosen the opposite and I suppose my skill would be the same, initially there is no option that looks more "natural" than the other for my body. And with trivial things where I didn't choose consciously, sometimes I'm told I do them as a left-hander, e.g. I stir tea counterclockwise.<p>I'm a fountain pen aficionado and I would have liked my son to enjoy my fountain pens someday, but he's a clear left-hander, so he probably won't :) | null | null | 41,796,167 | 41,758,870 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,509 | comment | physicsguy | 2024-10-10T07:37:44 | null | No, I don't, but I think they're often riskier than a similar sized startup targeting broader B2B customers. The reason for that is that the charging model is often month-to-month or short term contracts (yearly renewal), the products are often something you can do without or can switch to a competitor easily (i.e. there's not much differentiation). It can be very easy for a competitor to come about and knock you off a peg very quickly. In addition, the 'nice to have' dev focused startups are things that can be easily cancelled with not that much of an effect on the bottom line of another business. Many dev-focused startups have their business with other startups primarily, so where there's a recession that might knock some of those out of business it can be fatal to your company if you're reliant on them for revenue. | null | null | 41,779,798 | 41,767,852 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,512 | comment | throwaway2037 | 2024-10-10T07:37:59 | null | "no excuse" -- I would respectfully disagree here. There are lots of very smart people who have worked on Qt. Really, some insanely good C++ programmers have worked on that project. I have no doubt that they have discussed changing class QString to use UTF-8 internally. To be clear, probably QChar would also need to change, or a new class (QChar8?) would be needed, in parallel to QChar. I guess they concluded the API breakage would be too severe. I assume Java and Win32/DotNet decided the same. Finally, you can Google for old mailing list discussions about QString using UTF-16. Many before have asked "can we just change to UTF-8?". | null | null | 41,788,200 | 41,774,871 | null | [

Bring them up to speed with current trends and requirements of the business. If they kick up a stink or if questions are asked just make it out like it's the new norm.

I do agree with what you’re saying about engineering teams becoming bottlenecks if their immediate instinct is to derail or mistrust other teams and once the cycle has started it’s hard for the teams involved to break out of this pattern. I do still think there is a responsibility for engineering teams, especially at small companies to look for opportunities to solve problems in a simpler or cheaper way if they can and that might not be obvious to other teams.

When I was learning to write I frequently changed hands, until my teacher told me, that I have 3 days to figure out with which hand I want to write. Left felt slightly better to me, but by that time I was eating like my completely right-handed family and using scissors with the right. I also play guitar as a right-handed would. I tried a left-handed bass for a bit and it was super awkward. It also means strumming is much harder for me than changing notes on the guitar. I struggled so hard with clawfinger banjo playing, that I gave it up.<p>All later skills, like shooting a bow, I do as a right-handed, since I am right-eyed. This is hard to do, since my left arm is much stronger than my right and you need more strength in the string-pulling arm.<p>I feel wrong and awkward a lot. Writing on a keyboard is very liberating. But when I was playing first person shooters in my teenage years, my aim (right-hand mouse) was always bad, while my footwork (left-hand WASD) was very good :D | null | null | 41,787,572 | 41,758,870 | null | null | null | null |

There are so many tools that do more or less the same thing and whose boundaries are unclear. Additionally, when you eventually manage to get everything working it feels brittle (IMHO). For someone that doesn't do that professionally, it is daunting.<p>Nowadays, the few times I need to build something for the web I use leptos which has a much nicer DX and even if it didn't reach 1.x yet, it feels more stable that chaining like 5 tools to transpile, uglify, minify, pack, ... your JS bundle. | null | null | 41,796,252 | 41,795,561 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,549 | comment | iepathos | 2024-10-10T07:45:01 | null | For some perspective here, The US spends ~$90b on all higher education institution research combined each year with over half of that funding coming from the government. The 42 federally funded national research labs only had something like $29.3b spent on R&D in 2023 and only a portion of that is allowed to be spent on non-weapons research. Google alone is spending over $100b on just deep mind R&D this year. So, all academia and all the federally funded research labs would have to have agreed to stop working on anything else to pool enough resources together to provide equivalent support for deep mind. This would've required many government officials and entities to have the foresight to see the potential impact of deep mind and be willing to sacrifice all the other interests they have asking for funding. imo if federal government were funding deep mind this significantly in this alternate timeline it would be focused towards weapons research and wartime applications cause over half of the national labs funding is spent on weapons R&D. | null | null | 41,790,470 | 41,784,287 | null | null | null | null |

41,796,562 | comment | tgv | 2024-10-10T07:48:02 | null | About feet...<p>I was forced to write right-handed at primary school. I can't write with left, but I'm ambidextrous. At work, I've got my mouse to the left, at home to the right. There's an 'inventory' if you want to check, the Edinburgh Handedness Inventory: <a href="https://brainmapping.org/shared/Edinburgh.php" rel="nofollow">https://brainmapping.org/shared/Edinburgh.php</a><p>Anyway, back on topic. I play musical keyboards, so that definitely helps being ambidextrous. But I also play classical organ, and my feet have no preference. Left is just as agile (or clumsy) as right. But that's not different for right-handed organists. So at least in that case, there doesn't seem to be a connection between handedness and feetedness.<p>This is of course just some observations, but it is rather obvious that we do use our legs/feet a lot, and almost always in a symmetrical fashion. And for turning corners while running and such, we need to be able to rely on strength and agility in both. | null | null | 41,794,733 | 41,758,870 | null | null | null | null |
