Comparing dogs, things that experience sentience, to software feels deeply dystopian and antihuman.

That sounds great! Do you have a youtube channel or something to follow when you release it?

Same here, in fact something I wish the neovim team would do is create a book where popular plugin authors create tutorials that recreate basic functionality of their plugins. Seems like a no brainer that would help bring in more revenue to

Haven't heard of love2d but have heard of pico-8. I've avoided most game dev tutorials because they seem overly focused on beginners, which is fine, but want to find more advance materials that assume the reader knows some basics.

Thanks for recommendation and writing the book! I'm reading the introduction, it doesn't answer why you chose to fork lua and create lunacy. What were you trying to solve with lunacy that lua couldn't do? The TOC looks great,

My only context in using Lua is my neovim configuration, does any know of any good books or tutorials that make something more advance using only lua? Anything of note to consider/read/watch?

There's an even better way out, implement workplace democracy.

There’s no proof that this exchange ever happened. Happy to eat crow if proven wrong. I’ve disagreed and argued with Ed on his subreddit, he never banned me or acted hostile.

It is quite infectious! I would have never thought to use Voronoi like this, my only use is with data visualizations.

What forum software did you use? I’m thinking about adding a forum to my site for the same reasons you gave. How long did it take before the first user signed up and posted?

My position is that if something becomes critical it should be under democratic constraints in a democratic society and not private enterprises that have no forms of control by the populace. Maybe if Cloudflare had workplace democracy my co

by azemetre 1y ago
You can create democratic policies to thwart this. Even something as basic as nationalizing Cloudflare then forcing workplace democracy provisions on it would probably do more good for, not just the Cloudflare workers, but society writ larg

by azemetre 1y ago
If Cloudflare is so vital to the internet, it should be nationalized for the public benefit as having a private entity with so much control over the internet is not a good thing. Corporatized control of the internet should not be encouraged

Gonna sound lame but the passages that really moved me were those in the beginning talking about the Native American interactions with European colonists, how some colonist couldn't stand their lifestyles and found a home with the Nati

Could you explain more what you mean? Like after 20% of someone's W2, the gambling house pays out 95/100 times? Trying to understand how this regulation works, I'm intrigued by the idea of progressive levels of taxation again

I've recently finished Tribe by Sebastian Junger. I highly recommend it as well.

It's pretty easy, these are private companies and not democratic institutions that build consensus within their communities. It is better to assume bad faith upon corporate actors because they don't typically advocate for things t

It's a way for web developers to easily work in the linux sphere without getting burdened too heavily. Not saying that as a dig to web devs, I'm a web deb but that's all it really appears to me. Popular dude in web dev commun

You think a few dozen buildings is enough to account for multiple states? Did teleportation become a thing and I missed out?

Because there are some H1B workers that come over as translators or other non-tech professions. Like if you need a translator that speaks Swahili for some NGO it's way easier to hire a native Swahili speaker than possibly finding a qua

Yeah, it's hard for this to feel like a community endeavor when it's a single company deciding to act on behalf of the community while never taking input or building a consensus around the issue with said community. Hard to not be

I don't know what this is suppose to say outside of big tech needing a massive amount of regulations and taxations to reign them in.
85.
by azemetre 1y ago
We need to forgo unions and straight up legislate forms of workplace democracy. People do not have meaningful control over a massive part of their lives and if democracy is good enough for state governments, it's good enough for privat

Have you looked into biome? We recently switched at work. It’s fine and fast. If you overly rely on 3rd party plugins it might be hard but it covered our use case fine for a network based react app. Way less dependencies too.

Definitely feels more geographically based then. I worked at Humana and Comcast, they were both on the react train by late 2015/2016. This was northeast area.

by azemetre 1y ago
Was there? By 2016 it felt like nearly 80% of frontend development was happening in react. Even startups in central FL in 2015 were all in on react then. That's barely 4ish years from first introduction. That's quite fast in softw

We need more democratic institutions revolving around tech, too many rich individuals have an extreme amount of control in what technology gets pursued and pushed.
