There are fast fashion attempts at this like adding elastic material to every fabric so they can get away with having fewer sizes and cuts thus less unsold inventory and availability issues. But everything has a tradeoff. In this case the elastic material degrades MUCH faster than cotton so you have to throw away your jeans quite a bit earlier compared to a quality 100% cotton denim which can last you a decade. This is very unfortunate as most of the fabric in that piece of clothing is perfectly fine and this is pure waste.
This is some next level nitpicking. It's like criticizing XCode or Idea config of someone, instead of their product (or more popularly whether their website hijacks the back button). But at least in this case the dev config is checked in and reproducible.
For years I thought I had a faulty touchscreen and started relying on dictation more and more. Seeing this video saved me from going insane. They must have crunched the numbers and decided that these choices benefit more people than not. BUT HOW!
Ok so it is not going closed source, they are just going to extend it as they need to drive Zed features. Totally understandable for an in-house UI framework, this is why you’d build one yourself anyway. I can imagine maintaining backwards compatibility, doing releases, writing documentation and growing a community around it is a considerable distraction from their product work.
I understand your perspective. However, those trades, and most work in general, differ from art. Art is vital to our society, yet the current reward system optimizes for the worst art and the worst people.
We need more art that pushes boundaries and remains controversial. Instead, we favor the type of artist who attracts the most attention through their personality, whether because of their looks or a manufactured edgy image, while producing mundane, lowest-common-denominator work. We must support contemporary artists who move us forward rather than remaining stuck in popularity contests or constant nostalgia.
Under the current system, it is almost inevitable that influencers use their status to promote gambling ads and NFTs, ruining the lives of their fans. We need to break this cycle of rewarding increasingly poor behavior while making it harder for independent artists to earn a living.
When I tried it last year, their edge compute infra was just not there yet. It could not do any meaningful server-side rendering because of code size, compute and JS standard constraints.
Depending on your precise requirements, I think it might have changed.
I've been trying out Bunny recently and it looks like a very viable replacement for most things I currently do with Cloudflare. This new database fills one of the major gaps.
Their edge scripting is based on Deno, and I think is pretty comparable to e.g. Vercel. They also have "magic containers", comparable to AWS ECS but (I think) much more convenient. It sounds from the docs like they run containers close to the edge, but I don't know if it's comparable to e.g. Lambda@Edge.
I haven’t tried to do SSR in bunny but they also have bunny magic containers now where you run an entire container instead of just edge scripts (but still at the edge).
I knew plenty of office workers managing just fine using OpenOffice 10-15 years ago.
Today people are much more reliant on real-time collaboration, polished cloud and mobile experiences. Fractionalized open source software has a harder time competing with this than file based boxed software workflows of the past.
Agree, Personally I consider these newer systems a curse as far as productivity goes, using a simple email/open-office combination never caused any issues with clients or suppliers in the last 20 years.
