For the new year, I'm deleting my Twitter or something. I've had this crap for more than half of my life and it's not good for me.

Is there such thing as a all-electric family vehicle that can comfortably seat 7 or 8 humans (kids in the far back are fine)?

Forking Node so you can have true, false, and now maybe. What does maybe do? It's for when you're not sure. foo == maybe always returns maybe. foo != maybe also equals maybe. It's the #2 most 👍 feature request on ECMAScript. Only works on BastaNode tho

Is this really what Bun needs right now? Really? This is the thing it needs to wrap itself up in? This is going to be the thing that definitely doesn't piss anyone off and gets folks to like Bun?

So now <div {boop.beep} /> (or any other non-identifier) is impossible to use in the future for any other purpose. Why not <div *boop />? Or any other syntax? Oh, because Jarred just fuckin decided that's how it'll be. Awesome.
Quote Tweet
In Bun
const Beep = <div {boop} />
Transpiles the same as
const Beep = <div boop={boop} />

What's the best way of putting postgres functions into version control and making sure VC doesn't get out of sync? CD feels like the wrong answer. But maybe that's because db migrations feel like they need to be done more intentionally?

Perhaps the reason some industries desperately need this engineering talent is because they're offering dogshit jobs in broken organizations. Sadly, taking those roles to make an ads VP satisfied doesn't pay the bills.

How about get investors to stop throwing money at companies that you personally don't care about which pay better than Southwest and don't make you wear a suit to work or whatever

Tech nerds: let's build things that let you trade monkeys in the metaverse, bc we hate actually interacting with the world, while execs howl into the wind about nebulously 'working harder' but can't even express 'why'
Meanwhile, IRL, actual industries need you. Time to grow up.. twitter.com/sweatystartup/…

If you have anything that embeds tweets, now's a real great time to figure out how not to do that with Twitter's js
3. The python ecosystem has much less discipline around dependencies than the Node ecosystem or others. Libraries still frequently do not pin their dependencies, or require weird ranges of versions that block installing security updates.

1. Pip has no lock file by default. Installs are not deterministic. Pipenv and poetry do, but this pushes pain to the moments you choose to upgrade deps.
2. There's no standard, like semver, for Python package versions. You have no idea what a "minor version" update will do.

Hot take: it's irresponsible not to pin to exact versions of Python packages. If you use wildcards or anything other than ==, you're doing a disservice to yourself or a business of any size

Maybe I'm a bit of a nihilist, but the engineer in me absolutely has zero faith in the guys that have quoted me for the cheapest option that has no flaws at all. I'm trusting the guys that think this is not going to be ideal.

I don't believe for a second that one company can deliver something that offers more than double the power output for two thirds the cost. And I don't believe a company could stay in business if it was more expensive and less effective.

I solicited solar quotes. Two were for 95%+ of my electric needs at about $45k (before credits). One was 40% at ~$60k. I'm inclined to believe the outlier as the most accurate. They're the only ones who included a diagram based on a satellite photo of my roof.
