   While that's true - in fact you are if anything downplaying the UKs lack of free speech, as people are convicted for far less - it's not very germane to the UK having lower homicide rates. I feel like most of us want to live in so

   My guess is that this war’s lasting legacy may not be some geopolitical break after years of conflict but the images of the innocents we’ve seen, including children, killed in almost every imaginable way. I think this war will be seen as

   I'll add to this - don't read reviews. The idea that the opinion of some critic at a big newspaper has anymore weight or merit than anyone elses opinion makes no sense at all.

   It's so incredibly hard to find some older texts without some modernist forward lecturing us about a previous age. Just give me the text I'll make up my own mind.

   English pluralisation rules are a non issue. 1.5 billion people world wide speak English, and I'll forgive some of them if they accidentally make a gooses URL instead of a geese one.

   Haven't you seen 'Yes, Minister'? But in all seriousness I can't imagine all the layers of un-elected, unaccountable bureaucratic petty power centres a mere elected official would have to navigate to get anything done in

    It's been 10 years and I still need to look up the most basic things in git. It's just not intuitive to me at all. Had fossil recommended to me. Also read their fossil vs git page, and I found myself agreeing with everything they

    Not so long ago, every blog has a "blog roll", a list of author’s favorite blogs. I remember this but I also remember it wasn't called this. (Because in my local English that sounds like bog roll, meaning toilet paper, so I

    I was actually thinking about this the other day - the approach is much simpler and more scalable than web rings. and I can remember it being everywhere in the 2000s. Found a lot of webcomics that way. They weren't called "bookmar

    > blockchain is for securing data, not for storing it Hmm that cuts to the core of it! The supply chain world thinks blockchain is a shared database, not knowing how old shared databases are. Looking at OpenDSU now. Would be good to conn

    Tangential, but one thing I noticed recently is how algorithms on sites like twitter and linkedin - especially linkedin - will penalize posts that contain external links. So it's very hard to even tell people about content on your own

    LLMs have not significantly changed the way I code at all. It's only good at very basic mechanical tasks.

    Yes perhaps I should choose my words more carefully. What I was more getting at is the lost idea of a 'set piece' UI we can use to quickly make things that look nice - rather than re-inventing the wheel with styling. Like imagine

    This is very much alive for internal tools, but the importance of design from a product perspective has proven important, which is why you don’t see much in products anymore. This is revisionist history. Desktop environments had become so

    Author here. Thank you for this comment! I decided to write in a style I wanted to write in as opposed to what I thought people wanted to read. And I'm glad of it.

    I think what has been lost is that instead of a slave (not my terminology, it's the one in TFA btw) Actually, it is your terminology! I used the word 'servant' not 'slave'. It was a deliberate choice. My commentar

    I maybe could have done a better job of what so captivated me watching the 'The Computer Programme' and why that feeling's so different today. The idea of ordinary people buying a computer and programming it to do useful thin
