Domain knowledge is really the most important in any business. If you're making software for a particular industry you won't get very far without it.

Same. I feel like a plumber compared to real engineers.

No, I'm serious. The previous Remix was rebranded into React Router. Remix 3 will not use React and will apparently not use reactivity either. https://remix.run/ There was a pres…

Games can afford the luxury to re-render everyting on every frame. The DOM? Not so much. This bottleneck could be alleviated if browsers shipped native dom morphing or even some kind of native vdom bu…

comment
> IQ → credentials → income → heritable wealth This doesn't make much sense. Lots of people with high IQ don't have high income because they were born in the wrong country.
comment
> Most of the traits you were born with - intelligence ... Intelligence is considered genetic now? That's quite a bold claim.

What about new users that don't have a laptop yet? Or users that have a very crappy Windows laptop and would like to improve to something good hardware wise? Or what about Windows users that have…

Microsoft should be scared about the Macbook Neo. They're going to lose a good chunk of the market because of it.

I get it at least once a day. Sometimes as "Update to Tahoe" and sometimes as "Install pending updates tonight".
comment
This sucks. Sometimes they even disguise the update to Tahoe notification as "Pending updates to install later tonight".

Are they talking about the design language or the liquid glass material? I had to update to iOS 26 recently. The liquid glass material is by far the worst aspect of it... but if it could be disabled I…

Definitely. Comercial fusion is still decades away. Solar and lithium batteries are getting cheaper every year but unfortunately still lots of political issues in many countries.

> AI is getting better/faster/cheaper at incredible rates Maybe but all technologies have limits. It's irrational to believe any single technology can be improved forever.
comment
In theory a computer should be able to model any physical process so I do agree it's only a matter of time. That said I don't think I will be alive to see it honestly. The current tech won…

Was there any discussion to use something other than react?

96% is horrible uptime though

I won't share personal details but you couldn't be more wrong.

In the State of JS from last year Bun had a 21% market share. https://2025.stateofjs.com/en-US/other-tools/#runtimes Double from Deno even though it released years earlier. …

I travelled to the US some weeks ago and was anxious but everything turned out ok. I'm happy I don't have to go back any time soon.
comment
Isn’t Microsoft also using React native for desktop stuff?
comment
Flutter is probably better suited for apps

> I'm skeptical about the runtime providing such APIs. As Ruby on Rails does well, these are issues that should be handled by the framework, not the runtime. Well there's no Rails for J…
comment
Deno hasn't been abandoned though. The company still survives. These layoffs are probably to focus resources on the runtime and subhosting product. Bun is in much better shape than it was in 2023…
comment
You know any services as big as X or Claude Code built with Deno? AFAIK the biggest users of Deno are using their subhosting service (Netlify, Slack, etc) to allow third parties to execute TS code.
comment
The idea of Deno is brilliant... but they should have either focused on Node compat from the first day (like Bun did) or just keep doing their own thing with built-in APIs to solve the most common nee…
