Interesting perspective. I am a solo developer for all my own companies, and I basically work alone managing a number of high volume businesses. I look at code as "art" oddly enough, and not a liability. I look for elegant solutio

It's definitely situation dependent. When writing a lot of frontend code (vue, typescript, css, tailwind, html) I know what I'm typing several mental steps before I actually type it, so speed gains there are most pronounced. Sitti

Typing fast is one of the greatest strengths for programming for me personally, especially when compared with Vim. It's that that it's a limiting factor, but rather I max out typing quite often, and also I have always wanted to hi

I hit this invisible wall at about 165 WPM that I can't just get beyond, and it kills me. I wonder how fast I could get with stenography... I see dem 400 WPM videos and they look awesome.

Your analogy just escapes all reason. Twitter is an entertainment platform that obviously millions of people find enjoyable, and certainly astronomical amounts of good come out of it to certain individuals. I bet there are many experiences

This is cool but this is the worst UI ever and makes no sense. The tutorial resets it each time and its not clear how to actually visualize the animation at the same time as learning about it

Interesting... so given that is true, do you think Cal Newport believes: 1) Twitter-clone emphasizing negativity not solvable in any possible way 2) He has considered every single solution that exists in the entire problem space, even those

I don't pose my comments as... "Here's why we need to stop making headlines like this" I said a statement of fact (to my own mind) which may be a fact or an opinion to someone else. Regardless, never once in my opinion d

So ... someone or some entity should not attempt to start a new Twitter-style because Cal Newport says it will emphasize negativity? Surely the vast amount of brainpower could go into perhaps modifying the style or the algorithm, or tweet l

I can't think of a single person who's opinion I would take as "gospel." Just sort of vague outlines that 99% doesnt actually apply to the way I think about it. If there are any opinions that hold weight, it would be dow

Headlines like this make me not read the article, because anyone who actually writes this headline seems to lack the unawareness that his opinion is literally 1 insignificant stupid opinion floating in a sea of 10 billion shitty opinions. H

I would suspect advanced search boils down to advancifying your search term with specific properties about that term, or even the term itself with specifying logic operators. A filter would be not targeting a specific term, and would take n

We have very very different perspectives, it is probably not worth replying. The very fiber of my being down to my DNA is about creative energy, not consumption. I am inspired by tactile things, and things which spur certain energies. This

Can someone talk me in/out of buying one of these? I've looked at them several times, and I have quite literally no purpose for it (each iPad I buy I end up not using it much, and somehow the next iPad I think will be different. I

Don't try to pull a "even a little research" bullshit comment on me. "even a little research" will tell you people shouldn't roll your own cryptography and to just use a library. So, this still doesn't ans

There’s a go course that was really good about this level of nuance. He talks a lot about mechanical sympathy and how to dig in detail with this. I think it’s called ultimate go?

Yes I think we are saying the same thing. I don’t think vim should ship with more than what it does either

That would be very unideal. That’s why distributions exist like lazy and kickstart etc

TBH I didn't read the article, just the title alone got me going. Haha That also drives me crazy is when its super obvious artists on instagram (where btw it's quite difficult to find very good inspiration) all have a very dark mo

Don’t even get me started. The general population values realism, replication, and mindless feats of willpower. Most people don’t realize simplification and economy of stroke is orders of magnitude more difficult, and takes a true lifetime
