I think it's less that they're listening to old earth recodings on arrakis and more that having high quality linguistic capture like that allows linguistic forms to persist in a way they didn't before. They're listening

Worth remembering a few things: - This isn't 90% "of tattoo ink", it's 90% of the inks they tested. Most tattoo ink is black, which their tests indicate is accurately labeled (edit: black ink is mostly just the element c

I totally agree that it's important (to all of us) that prisoners be able to maintain their most intimate connections. > I do think there should very much be tiering of prisons. There are some irredeemably fucked up individuals, wh

I understand your questions about tablets in particular. That's kind of my bad - I should have provided a little more context. There's a move in US prisons to take away access to paper books and just give all prisoners tablets (wh

Sure - prisoners are people who society has determined should have limits on their freedom and maybe this can be understood as a reasonable limit? Different people would draw lines in different places. For me, it seems essential that we pre

Obviously this brings up the horrible unfairness of Aaron Swartz's treatment, but before you move on I encourage you to further get upset about the entire US prison system. Prisoners are charged high fees for access to basic resources[

My favorite way of thinking about this is that every undertaking needs people to carry it out and logistical demands. The people who do the work ('technicians') are focused on accomplishing the specific goal, they are often poorly

It's not this specifically - it's when this "kind of thing" comes up in golang in particular. Every language needs to pick when to hold back complexity and when to make the user deal with it and I just personally dislike

This is a good tip! It also captures what has been frustrating about golang for me. The language feels a bit stuck between simple default cases and allowing complexity. I feel like there are two relatively distinct populations of go develop

I think your attitude is almost exactly right but I will add: you can pick both. The two ecosystems don't really step on each others' toes and as long as you find a hub(s) to feed a single view there are basically no downsides.

I think it's worth emphasizing that, while Bartender does solve this egregious oversight from Apple - it also makes a number of enhancements to the top bar that are hard to write off as "bad Apple design". Even if the notch h

I fully agree about how hard it is to understand what the DSL features of elixir are doing. It was a major pain point for me and I wish that Elixir had a mode where it would expand all macros and output the resulting code so you can just se

That's super fair - I think recovery and reburial is probably a respectful option. My impression is that our decisions about what to do with human remains often relies on finding a living member of the family to speak about preferences

I think this is somewhat overwrought, but I think the iphone comparison obscures more than it reveals. The Vision Pro isn't in a new hardware category. It's actually entering a somewhat crowded field of companies offering headsets
