Off topic anecdote on installing GitLab. My university asked me to install GitLab on a 32bit Dell Server made circa ~2002 while I was a teaching assistant, because we were conducting a hands-on class of reimplementing TCP/IP and IT wan

- keeping all your configuration files (“dotfiles”: shell, git, etc) in one, version controlled place. Makes setting up new machines so much less stressful. Here are mine in case you’re interested, for macOS and Ubuntu: https://g

Interesting MS<>Google partnership on the design front. Wish they had redesigned `<select multiple>` though. That's one component that really feels stuck a million years in the past

I use emoji when texting sometimes. I have nothing against them. I used emoji as a symbol for excessive and distracting behavior, that feels similar to how memes feel – which to me has an almost mob/cult-like quality to it. I’m not sur

It's refreshing to see a JavaScript project with a mature tone and no emoji bullet lists in its readme. I'm very eager for JS culture to mature along with the tooling, and to prioritize content over sugar.

I tried setting my parents up with 1Password. I realized that for someone without decent technical understanding it’s easy to get into weird states. E.g new account creation has a lot more friction than I would hope for. I don’t understand

If what they just wanted was ES6 syntax, why not use Babel? But I guess what they really wanted was to get off of their deprecated JS runtime (Nashorn).

True. I used “consciousness” haphazardly. Not super related, but AGI enthusiasts sometimes remind me of this: https://youtu.be/bS5P_LAqiVg?t=9m50s

Pron, I fully support your take here. Most AGI campaigners here clearly think that we must have already figured out a lot about how consciousness works. But is there any evidence to back that up? No, because we _haven't_ created consci

I think that your comment is counterproductive. Even if the board wouldn't listen today, if more people wrote, more people would feel a sense of engagement with their city, thus more people would do other things, and more things would

By ailing infrastructure I don’t merely mean poor infrastructure. I mean infrastructure that was originally a big investment and, one would hope, initially productive. I’m curious just how messy those wires were in 1960’s China. Sounds like
