The webpage is great. loads INSTANTLY. So noticeably fast that I checked the source. Looks more or less hand-done. Just want to give a nod and say thanks for the craft and care. & +1 I downloaded the scratchpad. Looks useful.

i'm not entitled to receive clean water, but i can reject dirty water. edit: this is fun. i can see that it's actually "filter" the water to still take it and reject only what i deem dirt. and the water provider doesn&#x

well yes! i don't deny, but this is why the thought experiment is fun. i did open my door, but also do i not have the right to still arbitrate what passes my dear home's threshold? packet by packet. why not!

it's more accurate to say walmart bursts into my home, sales banners FIRST, then only after i've assured them i've seen their banners, do they show me their goods available, in my own home, remember. there's nuance clear

you mentioned koolaid somewhere in your replies. sounds like you're drinking good ol U.S. of A koolaid. good on you! the car the picket fence the lawn and the McMansion. it's just that it doesn't really work that way for most

thanks for the reply. never been to houston. been to salt lake city, it's too spread out for me but surprisingly it feels walkable, even in 100°+ heat. probably because it's super flat. I enjoyed the people there. do you ever wond

in which utopian US city are you loving life? gotta say i never met any human describe US car infrastructure as "perfect" no matter where on the car lover spectrum they fall. disclaimer: i'm a bike bro as you call it

but it's easy to point out what's wrong, why this initiative is misguided. i'm a misanthrope myself. ironic that you're pointing out what's wrong with the misanthropic take. Car dependent cities are a terrible healt

that's funny, I definitely react to skio hiring posts as well. "recharge migrations" lol like anyone knows what the hell that is. I get that i'm not their target market but it's a hiring post! But, maybe there'

The first generation apple TV remote is comically bad though. Can't conceive how a team of professionals released it. it's intentionally built to not be touch-intuitive. it's a smooth rectangle with no obvious way to feel fro

Are all of those proprietary products? I can't speak on your experience, but if linux was created in 1991, seems like in another angle you're bemoaning the rise of OSS and web. I'm just a web developer that learned everything

hmm but the more that's true, the more counter culture will be a thing no? places with EM jammers etc, no technology experiences. that keeps me interested at least heh

Looks good! FWIW I always felt the observable pattern much more intuitive than the redux/reducer style. Something like https://mobx.js.org/ Things get hairy in both, but redux pattern feels so ridiculously ceremonial a

I enjoyed the writing style. It's too long for me to read fully - I'm supposed to be working - the length and meandering adds to the charm perhaps. The person is clearly expressing themself.

That eating a plant's babies is bad is easily false if my 6th grade education serves me: plants bear delicious energy rich fruit so animals eat them and spread the seeds via digestive system. poop.

Thank the factory worker for the paper and Bill Gates for the OS sounds like a lovely idea! Marie Kondo vibes. I agree "success is not your own" can be weaponized, but also let's not throw the baby out with the bath water. Th

Good feedback! my reply is mainly calling out your "pride and accomplishment" claim as the only other reason to have kids. I agree that there are plenty of reasons to not have kids. and also that plenty of people probably shouldn&

no other reason to have kids? we're biologically programmed to have kids. i don't have kids myself, but I'm shocked at how intellectual you're coloring is of the situation. Procreating is our only purpose, as a life form

Why should we subsidize auto makers with exploitative labor if they are already subsidized by roads, infrastructure, bailouts and still claim struggle? let the market dictate their death. it's just those free market forces. and if it&#

May not be answering your question but I feel like U.S. news is kind of false value. Do we really need to know what's going on at the Federal level? At least not at any sub-quarterly cadence. I use Apple News to swipe right and see var

i'm interested in the sense imgur is terrible for not rewarding a bounty, and should be called out. 8 years may be a little too late though.

i'm mostly learning about this just recently, but i still downvoted you because i don't think that's true. property tax, for all intents and purposes, seems to just get passed down to the renters both commercial and residenti
