You know, I kind of feel this way about code too. Sometimes people don’t put in a lot of blank lines to break things up and I find that a little harder to read and a bit more intimidating than reading with a few blank lines between concepts

I really got a lot out of the article. I think it will help my write more succinctly and clearly and to be better understood. One question: after writing the sentence “I really got a lot out of the article.”, I wondered: is this extraneous?

Cool breakdown. A few thoughts: 1. I would never be so brazen (brave? have the guts?) as to try all of this. I would expect to be rate limited and throttled or banned or get a nasty letter from a lawyer or something. 2. The HTTPie thing was

A few thoughts after having read only the abstract: 1. The decline (which is reported to be less frequent in cannabis users) is self-reported subjective cognitive decline based on users’ experience. 2. I think that one of the hallmarks of

I’m having some positive experiences with Firefox Relay and Apple’s Hide My Email services. They are pretty similar but Relay works in any browsers that can use its extensions and HME works on iOS devices which use Safari. Relay also suppor

Really agree with this post. I wish gmail had a filter for mails sent by a human, but I suspect it would be antithetical to their aims.

without any experience in emulation or software preservation i still really enjoyed the post. i was waiting in suspense for the author to make a mistake and was so relieved when i saw they did not. when they were talking about the socket i

pretty cool comparisons. quite some differences there. tangent, I remember reading some post called something like "Latency numbers every programmer should know" and being slightly ashamed when I could not internalize it.

Wow. That is decidedly not a good trend. Once is definitely bad enough, but twice…

This sounds like a pretty decent guess to me. I bet you are right.

I am puzzled. I read the article and I don't see that. Did the article get updated, maybe?

i read on twitter a while back about some tv writer who was really happy because they managed to find someone who sent them pirated dvds of their work. apparently when disney+ removed the show from their catalog, it was otherwise lost to th

i think being terse is a valuable skill. i was aiming to highlight that last sentence: > “Sometimes in an attempt to be more efficient, we do things that make the process less efficient.” in the article it is followed immediately by: &gt

i enjoyed the read and was quite surprised that there was a happy ending. i didn't think that would be possible. probably that speaks to my own personal experience more than anything. not really relevant, but anyone know where mad ned

i don't understand. i thought TLS or some other form of end-to-end encryption would prevent this sort of thing from happening. it seems like someone has access to the plaintext message other than the participants of the conversation. h

I’d bet that is not true. I grew up with Napster, Kazaa, Soulseek, Limewire and friends and they allowed me to find so many fantastic musicians and helped start to shape my tastes in music. When I was older and had a job, I supported many o
