interesting. does SD enable this by default?

React Native and (arguably) Flutter are going through a golden age right now. Major companies like Tesla, Coinbase, and Shopify have adopted them, and the developer experience has never been better. I'm not sure why it worked now, but didn't work for Xamarin / Ionic, though.

I haven't really played video games in a few years, but back when I did I was incredibly into Crusader Kings II and Victoria 2.

After reading your comment, I am counting down the hours until Friday afternoon so I can buy and binge on CKIII.

I just want you to know that you cost me any and all productivity this weekend. Cheers!

Really surprising move, considering that's the main thing Mixer had going for it. Facebook got the short end of the stick on this deal, considering they'll have to negotiate again with these Twitch streamers.

Now that these streamers have an idea how much engagement and money they'll be losing from switching platforms, they'll probably demand more from FB Gaming for an exclusivity contract. I haven't heard people talk about Mixer being a better platform or experience for streaming, so I'm not sure what FB gets out of this considering Mixer's talent was its most valuable asset.

"Single party rule in California has been an improvement."

I just moved to California so I don't have too much of a personal opinion yet but that sounds like a bold claim. From what I've seen, people over the age of 30 seem split on whether or not it's an improvement. You look at mismanaged cities like SF where there's insane homeless budgets but very little action and results and wonder if the monopoly on political power has made politicians here complacent.

Then there's the whole NIMBY thing. There's a whole lot of Democrats (arguably DINO's) that are very anti-building. They run under the Democrat banner so they'll probably keep getting re-elected. Obviously a solution here is people getting involved in local party politics to primary these candidates out, but that sounds like a miracle that'll happen as soon as we get nuclear fusion power plants.

The whole thing makes me wish 3rd party candidates were more viable in the US. This flip-flopping really sucks and creates a lot of chaos but political monopolies, from what I've seen, are able to hide mismanagement and bad policies really well. (Texas is probably a similar example from the other spectrum.)

Un-American? There's nothing more "American" than having the right to do whatever you want with your personal property. The free market answer here isn't forcing them to adhere to your tastes, it's to make or promote a competitor that can actually compete with YT.

Do you think SwiftUI is still too experimental to build out a production-ready app? I'm a RN dev leading the app development at our startup, but every time I check on SwiftUI I LOVE what I see. Sadly it looks like the final results are mostly tech demos rather than fully integrated apps.

Thinking maybe we have to wait for a behemoth's adoption (like AirBnB & React Native) to take the ecosystem to the next level.

That was an interesting read, thanks for linking to it. It's hard finding articles online discussing Node and performance, most people just dismiss it as an unviable option due to scale and speed concerns. 30x really is quite the jump though.

> Each Node worker runs a gRPC server

Not going to lie, this kind of surprised me. When I think of a Node backend I think of ExpressJS. Not because I think Express is better, but because it's been pushed around in the past few years as the fastest, simplest way of running a backend.

Yet, if you're going to be running a gRPC server, why not use a more performant language with better multithreading support? I thought this article was about them optimizing a grandfathered-in solution (such as Express), but I can't tell why they built out a gRPC server in Node in the first place.

I've heard that as well, but haven't heard Brave's side of it.

Not defending it in anyway. but strategically I feel like Brave should take the money, and just email the creator every 3 months saying you have X amount of money you can claim. Of course, if Brave is just profiting this money that's pretty shitty.

Many gene-mutation advocates were using this case to highlight how mass genetic mutation is coming sooner than we think. The aftermath seems to indicate that we have longer than most optimists believe before we can effectively modify human genes.

Now that this attempt was a failure, I imagine it'll affect future research considerably. This rogue attempt had to succeed in order to flip staunch opponents towards supporting human gene modification in some form. Now we just have a case people can point to as why this should never be done.
