Seldom is one of those words that's used occasionally in writing, but seldom in conversation.

Why would a left-leaning press engineer errors predicting the victory of the left? Wouldn't this lull supporters of the Democrats into a false sense of security and enable Republican wins?

They're offering to subsidize the cost that the individual would normally pay for COBRA coverage. They're only required to offer the coverage, but not to pay for it.

However, I don't think this is that unusual in SV layoff packages.

You said it better than I could! As someone who does software for a living, do I want to come home and maintain a homelab that hosts photos, email, decentralized social, etc? Hell no!

Even if it's fun as a hobby, I don't want to be on call for my own basic online services.

Every time I hear about commit messages on HN, this is my first thought. I can't imagine not working in a squash workflow. No matter how good your commit messages are, I do not want to read all of them. The squashed commit will direct me to the original PR in case I need more detail.

It strikes me as odd that boxes are placed precisely using pixels, but the size of text is not specified, as far as I can tell. So you use real pixels to specify boxes, but still can't render a canvas exactly/consistently?

from my perspective--I have to use React, Lit, and all kinds of other creative solutions at my day job--I'm going to immediately devalue someone's argument if it starts with "I hate React".

React is not popular simply because engineers hate themselves or enjoy pain. There are problems it solves, and problems it creates. Explain what problems your solution solves, and feel free to dunk on React while you're at it, but write a tagline like this and I'm not gonna take you seriously.

"GitHub's own security guidance recommends pinning actions to full commit SHAs as the only truly immutable way to consume an action"

Why doesn't GitHub just enforce immutable versioning for actions? If you don't want immutable releases, you don't get to publish an Action. They could decide to enforce this and mitigate this class of issue.

you continue to contradict yourself by introducing concepts and saying they are not concepts.

I get what you're trying to say, that React hooks have special semantics, and that your abstraction feels more "native".

again, not sure how this is more "native" than Solid signals, just as an example.

> Solid has signals and createEffect... Gea takes a different path. It introduces no new concepts at all.

proceeds to introduce Stores and Components

what makes this magically easier than Solid, or any other Proxy-based reactive store frameworks?

Can I buy them for my underage friends at different stores? Is there revocation and hence a database that maps codes to identities?

How are the codes minted? Can I pretend to be a gas station and buy a big pack of ID cards, then just not check ID?

The average LLM writes cleaner, better-factored code than the average engineer at my company. However, I worry about the volume of code leading to system-scale issues. Prior to LLMs, the social contract was that a human needs to understand changes and the system as a whole.

With that contract being eroded, I think the sloppiness of testing, validation, and even architecture in many organizations is going to be exposed.

Can I get an AI that automatically nitpicks AI PRs with the goal of rejecting them?
