I honestly love Tangled.

At this point it's really the only forge I want to use going forward, considering that it sits nicely alongside all my other social data with ATProto.

How soon until everything is all in one company?

Bolsonaro also sought extra voting time as well. He wanted it done only in certain states but it was granted nationwide. He was very involved in this process and is now crying foul because it wasn't done in a matter exclusively favorable to him!

This is why we must fund the sciences. How else would we get transparent Dorito tendies?

The fact that this list is so long and grows longer every single day just shows how this line in the sand has become untenable to uphold in reality. I suppose it's good to be informed at least?

I mean, sure, but this doesn't preclude CF from keeping a few people around who can work on the runtime while everyone else does... whatever CF wants them to do.

They don't even need to be the long term stewards either. Spend some time setting up a proper governance structure for Deno, hand it off, and then pay some maintainers to continue their existing effort.

At least how it's stated in the post, it really feels like an "ah good luck everyone, I'm out!" sorta deal, which seriously sucks for everyone who really believed in Deno.

No idea why CF wouldn't just have them to continue working on Deno indefinitely...

Hopefully there is still space for Axum to exist too! I like this directionally, but I've really enjoyed my time with Axum.

I don't get it.

My house is an asset on my balance sheet. I haven't sold my home or rented it out, it has no direct or indirect income to me. The house has some theoretical value, which is assessed by the government, and on that value I am paying taxes. Is this not a tax on an "unrealized gain?"

Why can't stock and other similar asset classes be treated similarly? I can always pay my homeowner's tax, why couldn't the In-n-Out owner pay a wealth tax? Clearly they're deriving a lot of value from owning stock such that they're able to enjoy a much higher standard of living, clearly there is some ability to pay.

I don't buy into this idea that this disincentivizes private ownership, much less make it infeasible. This is also done elsewhere and it seems... fine? People in Norway seem to still start companies.

They are not saying the assembly is bad all the time, but merely that sometimes, for some inputs, the assembly is bad. Which is definitely true, though I would prefer the term "suboptimal."

Again, to the OP's point, look at any of the ultra optimized video codecs. You will often find hand rolled assembly to squeeze out that extra bit of perf; having the compiler do its job would probably emit something that does the job, but you can absolutely spend the extra time to do it yourself and do it better.

Hey, I had this done!

As far as surgeries go, this one is easy as hell on your body even if it's performed on your God damn heart! Genuinely life changing and haven't had a real issue in the decade since (occasional flutters are annoying, but expected). Sure as hell beats taking daily meds and an annual-ish episode which results in you getting pumped full of adenosine.

I used to work one block from there. For years I got off at that station and walked past the building but had no idea it was hiding something like that. Amazing!

Didn't he drop this feature years ago?
