Interesting approach, I like it. I’m bemused to observe that even though you include a section describing alternatives, there are still the usual number of comments saying “why not just use x” in typical HN style. I often want a simple file

NimbleText.com has always been like that for me. I use it so much that it’s worth building for me alone. (Others do use it too which is nice but not required)

That was the grand parent or great grandparent comment. I was replying and suggesting a warning was appropriate on the link to the story itself which gave no content warning regarding suicide. There are many many reasons why someone is no l

The “pistol and boo” drama was national news in Australia for weeks. One of our most prominent politicians threatened to euthanise the dogs personally if they didn’t “bugger off back to the United States”.

Okay, thanks for the response. It sounds like “maturity” and “coddling” etc have a specific meaning in your value system. If someone else sees the benefit of this test but considers it needlessly harmful/cruel (and disproportionately s

I wonder if you’re capable of seeing that both of these are true: 1. It’s a good test 2. It’s a bad test That’s the thing that gets me. Are people (HN readers, other people) generally able to only see one of those points — or do they see bo

This write-up shows a litany of issues, but very relatable based on businesses I’ve seen from the inside. Although they’ve learned some lessons I expect there’s more learning needed yet. And it saddens me that someone reading only the origi

I think the claim is that futurists lived to ruffle feathers and that their fascism is an example of this. Thus fascism is placed in the class of things that “ruffle feathers”. Where is that an inaccurate interpretation?

by LeonB 6y ago
Agreed. “Ruffling feathers” is an alarming depiction of Fascists.

Thinking “how can this technology be used by stalkers, harassers, abusive partners” and so forth is something I didn’t think about when I was young, but always consider now. Having more diverse voices in your team and in your life is a big
