What are the perceived methods of fraud in the PERM process?

I wonder what the author thinks steampunk means

I’m curious what’s meant by

Designing for bundlers/compilers/typegen (and any pre-runtime static analysis) leads to poor api design that eventually pollutes the entire system

Is this in reference to React Router v7 that just shipped?

I feel insane whenever the Svelte reactivity thing is touted to me as an improvement over React state. Surely it’s not so hard to internalise JS equality rules that such a huge break from convention is necessary?

PS. I looked up the reactivity token docs on the Svelte website to make sure I was remembering correctly, but it repeatedly crashes the latest version of Safari on iOS. Oops!

My dad’s Power Mac running the SETI screensaver is one of my earliest memories of the Internet. Makes me a little sad

I had a similar situation happen with Mercari last year. I bought some used audio equipment and 30 minutes later my account was terminated for "prohibited items or conduct". I still wonder every now and then what part of the listing triggered the banhammer. Guess who never used Mercari again?

On a similar note to the linked article: the low battery alert of the AirPods Pro can be ear-shattering, and there's no means of reducing the volume. I suspect it tries to scale volume with environmental noise because it ranges from "startling" to "painful".

I don’t disagree with the “early TypeScript” comparison, but what’s the issue with args, *kwargs?

I wonder how many millions of lines of shell configuration have died by people switching to asdf. Fantastic tool

I can see how this makes sense for a startup etc that has passed some threshold of operational complexity. As an “indie hacker” there is no way I’d be able to move out of the cloud without my costs going up by an order of magnitude.

did this capture the entire article? I feel like I'm missing something

The GP’s sentiment is common in the comments. I absolutely understand the gut reaction–regional Eastern specialties are rarely presented with the warmth and openness that this article has. I feel like stepping around “Japanese” as a cultural description in this case would only serve to isolate the community in the reader’s mind. As the article says, there is more to Japanese cuisine than seafood. Why should this tradition not be included?

I'm finding the "this is a horrible idea" responses amusing. I don't know if there's something fundamentally different about the way this project works versus Dirac/XT32 or if the naysayers aren't familiar with it. Or maybe there's an anti-room correction sect of audiophiles that have remained hidden to me.

Yep, it will flag any references to variables in the outer scope that it doesn’t know for certain are stable.

Do you have a reduced code sample? I can’t quite picture the stale state issue.

(I suppose this is a good example in favour of the opposing “useCallback is premature optimisation” opinion)
