It's only a political problem if you make it one. Better politics requires less technological innovation, and better technology requires less political innovation. The political barrier suddenly becomes much less intimidating if an ext

What makes you think that they said that Twitter must be just? Why not simply should be just? Why would you not want a platform as large and integral to modern open communication to be just?

I too came to believe that VSCode could be a great end-all-be-all IDE for me, and that I couldn't potentially miss much in the big, bloated "real IDEs". Fortunately this summer I came to realize that VSCode, at least for non-

I think "never attribute to intelligence which can adequately be explained by stupidity" applies here.

Interesting, that Fair Source License seems like the perfect example of how your software can simultaneously be open source software but not free software. It doesn't matter if it's open source if I can't modify it and deploy

Admit it. If Google bought them instead, there'd be far less freakout. Google is pretty scary, but you have to admit that we still distrust MS with our free software even less.

Just a heads up, using an external password manager on Firefox for the login screen is broken. It seems that if the username or password field is selected and then Firefox is unfocused and refocused, the field is no longer selected. Works i

All it takes is to land on the side on one rock and it's over. I would say the chance is more like 98% over the span of a few years.

That does sound nice, but I'm a bit confused about using it for _project documentation_. Are any of these open-source? Although org is plaintext and thus technically cross-editor compatible, it's meant to be edited in Emacs, so wo

Nice, I've also thought about moving all my notes and todo stuff to Org Mode. I did figure out a way to sync org mode files between laptop and phone with low latency (unlike with Syncthing) running Unison inside Arch Linux inside Termu

I recently installed an Arch Linux chroot on my Android phone, full access to the filesystem and all. There's absolutely no way you could do anything like that on iPhone without some serious jailbreaking.

I do think I might prefer the approach of the asymptotic of development approaching vscode features with a base in pure Vim rather than the asymptotic approaching full Vim compatibility within vscode, and so I really want to like Oni. What

I'm honestly not sure I can trust anything this author says. In this article he links to another he's written [0] which posits that Professor Jordan Peterson is recruiting depressed men for the alt-right. It's full of nothing

Saw this article and decided to try to roll over my half-phase-out-of-sync horrific sleep schedule by staying awake through the next day. My mind was nowhere near fully functional from the period of 6pm the first day through 11:30pm the nex

I do very little webdev, but `parcel index.html` seems to be able to do just about anything.

Are you saying that we should treat entire classes of modern people differently based on the events involving ancestors with similar superficial characteristics like skin color and sex? Last I heard, it was best to treat people equally.

If you're just trying to find a set of accounts with a weak password, isn't it much more viable to use the sign-in page that shows "invalid password" instead of "invalid username or password" rather than dealin

A few weeks ago there was a post about Crowded Cities, a startup trying to train crows to pick up and throw away cigarette butts in the city for a food reward. I'm sure it'd be harder, but could crows also be incentivized to someh

I wouldn't let the HN rabblement get to you too much, I thought it was kind of amusing and silly. There's a huge survivorship bias favoring those who are willing to be vocal about not being able to find humor in certain things. Pe
