I read most of this agreeing with everything the author was saying, sometimes in a "I already thought that" but often in a "huh, that's a really cool insight." I quite like the style too. As a Brit though, I was com

I see it like a scale of how easy it is to deal with a problem. The easiest thing is to stew and do nothing. Next easiest thing is to is to sit around and complain. After that comes actually doing something about the problem. I think effici

I think self curation is a theme not directly discussed. The recurring problem is other people trying to tell you what information you should see, resulting in suboptimal aggregations. If you don't curate your own stuff, you'll sl

This is really useful, thanks. I've recently been playing around selfhosting a small single user activitypub server to see how it works. I can't understate how satisfying it's been to wallow in compared to a static site or se

It's a perfect representation of CSS: it looks and feels like it should do what you need, but it doesn't _technically_ do what it's supposed to do, so you spend a few hours _trying_ to make sense of it, falling back to just r

Again, you're still missing the point by trying to focus on specific examples that perpetuate the idea that everything must have a deadline and a deadline must be fixed and heavily consequential. If you keep on creating examples where

Thanks, I wasn't aware of the Jewish/antisemitic angle at all, but that's my own ignorance in that area. The "represents rich people" angle was the only interpretation I could see. Still not sure I fully understand

I think there's a personality type for old/high maintenance houses. Having said that, a first time buyer will always be a first time buyer, and a house will probably suffer initially whilst they learn the skills to support their p

I do this occasionally, and have done for years. On earlier or lower resolution headsets with Fresnel lenses, it does force you to look at a screen slightly differently - everything has to be a bit larger, you have to move your head/ey

Like someone to package up and sell your code and give you money in return? Isn't this software engineering employment? (Sorry, couldn't resist) But seriously, it does sound like a product person or sales person might be able to g

I feel you're missing the point. Your angle is self perpetuating. People have a higher risk of cardiac arrest at the fear of the consequences of missing the IRS date. The argument being made is that there won't really be any major

Daily I carry the shame of having been an engineer on both sides. I went from big enterprise to small start up. It's horrible speaking to an engineer at a new client, knowing they can probably do the work you're about to have to d

Strong agree. I've also seen it a lot: sales person at a small tech startup convinces business person in large tech company to ignore their own engineers. I suspect most engineers at large firms have been on one side of this experience

I honestly don't know. I'm in the same place as you: not a web server expert. But I did spend a bunch of time in security a while ago, so maybe it's my own bias to be sceptical of anyone who casually suggests building and imp

Can you share a link to your web server please? I'm finding it hard to make sense of your comment: I can't reconcile some of the stuff you're saying. My gut feeling is you're either ridiculously smart, so smart that defi

Generating suggestions from something other than what your users have already given you is inevitably going to result in something different and potentially offensive being shown to them. One solution is to offer suggestion from a list of p

You're comparing something generic, like an internet connection, to a personal website. They're not really similar. It sounds like you want to be able to express yourself personally, but you don't want to be personally respon

That's fair, thanks for the response, appreciated. I agree that genetic predisposition will remain a small contributor for most disease states. However, I (an idiot who has no authority or experience with anything relating to genetics)

I like this, thank you! I just lost an hour of time to the exact sort of random but considered personal websites that I think made the Web great in the first place.

What's your point here? Doing things yourself is hard. Doing things in a way that reuses other people's effort should be slightly easier. Doing something that that is defined by "doing it all yourself", like growing your

Is that a problem with the definition of agents, or a problem with sticking the word "agent" on something that doesn't meet the definition of an agent?
