it's about having you logged in for the day.

logged in user ad impression is 8 to 12 usd. anonymous user is .01cent per thousands.

I don’t see how that relates to my comment

The most realistic one is, that people will get fed up and register an account, and github can brag about how many new users they brought in.

The other side is, that existing users will get pissed at github, because they can't even search anymore without logging in, and sometimes that's a pain (not their pc, public pc, incognito tab, the time needed to do the 2fa, etc.).

Github can still keep the cheap, fast basic search for users not logged in, but they didn't.

> people will get fed up and register an account, and github can brag about how many new users they brought in

This makes no sense. The number of people who use GitHub code search but don’t already have a GitHub account is surely negligible

Please read the whole sentence. It starts with: If React is “Just JavaScript, then...” React users often say that "It's just JavaScript" but then they write:

  return (
    <div>
      <h2>You clicked {count} times!</h2>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count - 1)}>
        Decrement
      </button>
      <button onClick={() => setCount(count + 1)}>
        Increment
      </button>
    </div>
  )

Nue is the opposite side of the same coin.

Do people generally say React is “just JavaScript”? I’ve seen it said about Svelte, never React.

In any case, why market your framework with an equally poor comparison?

NueJS: “It’s just HTML!”

The HTML: <button @click=“count++”> {count} </button>

Its an opensource project. Instead of complaining, why dont you implement it? ;)

He’s not complaining about it missing the features he wants, he’s complaining about it missing features of the products it’s presenting itself as an alternative to

david-gpu · 2 years ago

Having unlimited PTO and coping with absences at work are orthogonal problems.

When you are going on vacation you can pick somebody in your team as the to-go person and communicate that fact to them, to your manager, and add that information to your automated "out of the office" emails.

Peak HN is using an overly smart-sounding word like "orthogonal" instead of the clearly more appropriate "independent"

I use their new code search a lot to grok how people use certain features, or implement certain things. But I do wish there was a way to filter out forks. Sometimes I search a string and just get a bunch of forks all with the same result. For example, searching a common class in a Rails app often just shows a bunch of rails/rails forks, which is a lot of noise to sift through when you're trying to see how devs commonly use a certain feature.

Sourcegraph[1] does this better and has done for a couple of years now. I use it for this reason all the time.

As far as consumer interest goes, the problem with Web3 is it sells the means rather than the end. Nobody cares if your Twitter/Substack/Spotify Web3 alternative is decentralised or you own your own data on the platform. To win it has to be immediately useful and/or better than alternatives.

Content generation AI is so obviously useful to the majority of people and it does not require an understanding of how it works in order to be impressed by it.

Most of the OG's are like this, because they are more interested in decentralized technology than money. You'd probably like the writings / videos from these people:

Andreas Antonopoulos, Polynya, Erik Voorhees, Chris Burniske, Kevin Owocki, Chris Dixon

qabqabaca · 3 years ago

Chris Dixon has no business on this list. He is A16z's chief crypto shill on Twitter and blocks anyone who even remotely questions crypto/web3/blockchain.

To say he is more interested in decentralized technology than money is laughable given his complete inability to engage in any sort of healthy discussion about it. He is bad for the space.

The way PG talks about these companies on Twitter makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Mighty https://twitter.com/search?q=mighty%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Mighty so obviously had no idea who its customer was. Can't afford good hardware to run CPU/GPU-intensive browser apps? Why not spend $420 a year on a browser. Is it for enterprise or consumer? Who knows. He spoke of it like a once in a generation company [1] and the fact they spent 3.5 years working a product that never even launched goes against what I thought his philosophy was.

Replit - https://twitter.com/search?q=replit%20(from%3Apaulg)&src=typ...

Replit I feel suffers from the same problem and, possibly not coincidentally, PG talks about it the same way. Is it an IDE? Hosting platform? Education platform? How have they not found PMF after raising $100M over 8 years [2]? I feel like every time I see someone talk about the company on Twitter it's about them launching some brand new feature in a new area. On that, I also only ever see the same few people on Twitter chatting about it and have never encountered Replit in the wild. It's almost always Codepen, Codesandbox, JS Fiddle or Stackblitz.

It makes me seriously question PG's opinions on individual companies as his bias is so clear and it makes him appear so naive.
