So how much does a hello world weight?

There’s no running TS. Everyone executes JS. Also TS itself is going towards stripped types. There’s this proposal which might land on browsers some day: https://tc39.es/proposal-type-…

It's not about the code or the use of AI. It's about the governance of the Bun project. Nobody knows if the Rust AI rewrite was a good decision from a technical pov. We do know it was a unil…

there's a whole odyssey with their CLI flickering...

I doubt it. That SOC is still overkill for video (which I believe powered the Nintendo Switch 1). I think the big issue is really a combination of the Nvidia software and just terrible Android TV.

For years it had frame rate issues. Every second or so when watching eg Netflix you would see a micro stutter if the content wasn't at 24fps (eg PAL content at 25fps). I think this was improved r…

> I think the Apple TV is the best streaming box out there It definitely is. IMO the only advantage of the Nvidia Shield is better HDMI audio passthrough but it has so many other issues. And with…

> not to mention the electricity to run them... And noise.

That's your interpretation. When someone claims that vinyl has less than half the DR of a CD then I think it's important to clarify how big of a difference it actually is. I would imagine HN…

I'm stating an objective measurable fact not arguing about semantics or meaning, whatever that is for you.

I'm not saying there haven't been improvements but personally I would not classify those as "very different".

> That is a false way of saying it As an audio engineer I'm well aware of how decibels work and why we use them. You're talking about subjective perception but I'm talking about ob…

Yep many current pop songs are commonly mastered at around -8 LUFS even peaking at -5 LUFS which is quite loud.

> Vinyl literally has less than half the dynamic range of CD A lot less than half. It's around 20-30db and every 10db is a factor of 10. The CD has between 100-1000x more dynamic range.…

Every time I do something that's not supposed to be permanent until I have time to implement a proper solution it lasts for years.

So a company which has access to practically unlimited tokens and their best models makes crappy software. Huh who would've thought? /s

> Shipping tens of megabytes per web page is impolite, if not outright disrespectful to users. You're being generous with what I would consider negligence.

The vast majority of global users are not using iPhones.

The consequences of MBs of JavaScript can be perceived by anyone in terms of performance and mobile data consumption.

You definitely need other factors but societal passion seems like the cornerstone. The US has everything except this. Personally couldn't care any less about sports. I say this as an external obs…

It's the culture. I'm from Spain and living in Mexico. Football in these countries is almost like a religion.

> There's guaranteed persistence There's not. Browsers can delete "persistent" storage at any time. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/…

Honestly you can POST to an API to the other side of the world and receive a response in less than 300ms. That's literally the blink of an eye. There are very few use cases where you'd need …

For native apps this is less of an issue since they have access to persistent storage but with browsers there's no guaranteed persistence.

> Webpack - while maybe a win over Grunt/Gulp, was MASSIVELY complex. and slow

yeah SSR is still marked as experimental after like 3-4 years

nobody wants it

> Maybe they should invest money in competing with Vercel on UX/DX That's exactly what they are doing.

This is just my own impression but I feel that Evan might have distanced himself from Vue to focus on Vite and Void. IIRC Vapor mode was spearheaded by someone else. Same with Alien signals. To be cle…
