This doesn't feel super applicable. The body in the middle of a COVID infection vs months later is in a VERY different state. Also I don't even know if there's any mortality data for long COVID; it could just provide quality

This is a great summary of that state of the world of programming languages, 2021. It goes through a number of language features that have taken off, and which have moved the space forward over the past few years. I think a language that ad

For me, one of the most discouraging things I've found about code in general, is that there's too much of it. And it's all the same. Every project, every repo, every developer, is just writing the same code, over and over aga

I believe the scientific consensus is that there isn't enough data to discount that theoretical concern. There's still too much uncertainty on how things will pan out, so the recommendation is boosters + some restrictions. They&#x

That chart is misleading; the rise/spike in deaths is always delayed from the rise/spike in cases. It does seem like Omicron is less deadly than Delta. The big concern is that because it's so significantly more contagious, th

It's insanely better. I enabled the Twitter theme, and it felt creepy how much smoother it was _while having the same interface_! I wish that I could login/view my feed :( I would 100% switch if I could. If it's API restricti

Um, because it was monkeys that did it, not humans? And humans =/= to monkeys? It's surprising because (a) we generally consider revenge to be a human emotion, so seeing it in animals is a bit surprising, (b) seeing a coordinated

I don't remember the loss of the "revenge instinct" being a part of that book. The future humans had optimized for comfort/happiness so much that they evolved to be more and more docile and childlike. They lost their int

Of course we can; the point of having such huge brains is that we can override our animal instincts if we want to. Same reason you can convince yourself to jump off a cliff into water even if you're scared of heights. Or how you can co

Sorry, Comment Annotations. They seem to be working now.

For example, there's a lock on the Annotations demo. This makes me think it's unavailable. But clicking on it shows both the code and the output! That's because the demo has been unlocked since 5 people have sponsored it. If

What an interesting life! Need to read more about Wells. This article was a bit poorly written, though. Ambling and unfocused. It seemed like it had a thesis it was trying to drive, while also trying to provide a general summary of his life

The marketing on the homepage needs an overhaul. Took me a really long time to understand the product! The automatic code changing at the top was super confusing. Clicking on the demos didn't work. A lot of the demos had locks on them

Interesting! I don't think that's what I mean. I don't think I want it to be a part of the language like that, but that's a pretty neat idea. For example, python has an 'X' flag you can use when creating a rege

I'm hypothesising that this is a bias people have when reading posts in the internet. People are susceptible to it to different degrees. And your statement does show this bias in a different way. You comment on the 10 being too small a

Ignoring the flame bait, for me the only things I wish more regex engines supported (cough JavaScript) is the ability to ignore whitespace, and have named groups. Python has a flag to do this, and being able to have multi-line regexes with

I'm not following your comment; can you expand? To rephrase what I was saying, I think that when we read 10 comments, of which nine are negative, we think "90% of people must dislike this". I don't think most people woul

Yikes, that's an awful bug. I make heavy use of pointer-events none. And I've _already_ had to have a special case for Safari, because it didn't seem to support setting `pointer-events: all` on SVG tspan elements. Now I have

This is kind of a surprisingly myopic/inflammatory comment to see on HackerNews. Both systems have their pros and cons, and people tend to be biased to prefer the one they learned first or worked extensively with first. And you don&#x2

I think it's _exceptionally_ unlikely they would use copilot in private repos. Not for licensing issues, but for security issues. People include secrets all the time in private repos. Trying to get an AI that can train on that sort of

What a fun example! That's exactly the sort of stuff I use multiple cursors/regex for. Due to a bit of luck (the refs only appear once, and only appear in order of mention), that specific example ends up being quite a bit easier a

That's what folks used to say (and some still say) about IDE autocomplete in general. And it is the case that when I type without all that IDE-goodness, I type slower (eg is it `new URL().searchParams.get`? Or `new Url()`? Or `.params.

Can you give some examples of what you use macros for? I've found I don't need macros in an editor that supports (1) multiple cursors, and (2) multi-file find/replace with regex groups.

For reference, it looks like Wikipedia's CEO is paid ~$400k. 3m is a really unreasonable salary, and the attitude she has for why she deserves it is even worse, and seems antithetical to Mozilla's brand/image/beliefs. h

Oh I very strongly resonated with that! This was one of the two quotes I wrote down from the interview. One thing I notice when I see artists works or when I'm working on an artistic project of my own is that the project is absolutely
