Thanks for the clarification on suicide vs assisted suicide. Yes, I do agree that the discussion in the book is about assisted suicide. It's been about a year since I've read it, so those details evaded me. I do understand where t

I absolutely understand where you're coming from. I don't need every thread tied up into a nice bow. However, it felt like a shotgun of ideas that caused the main plots to feel less meaningful.

I’ll go against the grain here and say that I was not a huge fan of this book. I do understand that this is one of the first times the nuclear apocalypse was covered in sci-fi. My main gripe was the writing and how poorly strung together th

In the future, we're not going to have common tv shows or movies. We'll have a constantly evolving stream of entertainment that's perfectly customized to the viewer's preferences in real time. This is just the first step

I wish the headline read "Norway wants advertising banned across Europe". I wish society would revolt against the idea that advertising is something that should be allowed. It's an affront on attention and we now have alterna

I think one other feature that's missing from the article is the ability to map multiple blocks of time to a task.

So something like rescuetime that exports data from your active programs to a calendar/event timeline visualization a la the spotify example from the article?

I think that hacker news has become too popular. It used to be a little niche on the internet that few people were aware of. Like indie hackers, the site has been infiltrated by business lizards and marketers along with more of the masses l

Worked at a startup for the last nine months as a founding engineer building everything in Elixir + Phoenix and LiveView. I was able to ship more features and fix more problems faster than I ever have. The startup is out of runway and it br

Yes, yes I will. If that helps to expose the truth, sure. Whatever that truth may be.

I've finally made the full jump to neovim after using vim bindings in all of my other fully fledged IDES. I've recently been looking at Helix, but the lack of plugin support along with fluid git support is where I'm still stu

That's such a shame. Namecheap was so great. Time to move on. Until then, I would recommend sending a feedback ticket to let the corporate overlords know. I doubt it'll do anything. Feedback form: https://support.namech

With all bad news comes a silver lining. At least with the cancellation of Everyone & Their Mom, I won't have to hear Emma Chee ever again.

I would personally choose fly. But that’s after years of wasting time yak shaving my spare time to use AWS/GCP/Azure. Go check out the elixir slack. There’s a fly.io channel you can ask questions about pricing in. It’s a breath of

I hope this puts remarkable in their place after gibbing their loyal early adopters with a subscription model. I am aware they’ve reverted it but at this point I have no sympathy for them.

Eh, not so much. See my other comment to the sibling thread in regards to this discussion. There are two parts to this discussion that people are pointing out that I could have done a better job explaining. First that I’m confounding the tr

I think of it from more of an anti-natalist perspective. The child will have a far greater chance of suffering while the adults will have a chance for less suffering due to their expected lifespan. That’s why I thought about it in the frame

The question regarding baby vs old people was really telling. It’s practically the argument for / against abortion. What’s strange to me is that someone would choose to kill five people who are capable of thought instead of an undevelo
