Yes! I have raised several times across several teams that task estimation is a variant of the coastline paradox[0]. You'd do well to consider determining the fractal dimension of your problem domain and "sandbagging" accordi

You're right! I misread the diff command after mutation. Amazing!

Challenge: a self-healing version of this where the program missing a character outputs the original program (with the character re-inserted).

You know, I'm not sure why I've thought of it this way but you're right. Interestingly this fits the model for most JS SPAs, but I've never seen it done server-side.

I like to read and sometimes participate in these types of arguments, but do people actually hope to convince one another? We're all just flexing our viewpoint and knowledge, as far as I can tell. If you told, for example, suckless tha

I nearly 100% agree with you accept on one point. "You are not your lines of code." is putting your head in the sand, but there's a way you can frame PR feedback (and other feedback) which re-associates your identity with you

Some good advice in the comments so far, but I don't see any which highlight the one thing that transformed me in this regard permanently. I suffered from your problem terribly, to the point that it almost drove me into depression. The

What's the difference between a cutting board cover and just using another cutting board?

A potentially better analogy might be a library. The library borrowing model existed long before software, so one can't argue that modern software subscription models "enabled" this "predatory" practice. I can borro

Yes! We are on the same wavelength. I am a big fan of viewing the web browser optionally as an offline tool for being basically a strong target for scriptable document and multimedia experiences. That said, this approach only works for proj

I have often thought about implementing a simple Makefile alternative in a literate style. Almost like an executable README.md. This way you can describe the project and the ways to interact with it in a much more readable way than a Makefi

For me, the beauty of Phind is that it will wade through the ad ridden web 3.0 hellscape to get an answer for me in plain text. I am not sure exactly how much of that process is to do with the language model per se. Probably basic vector st

Thank you. Oddly, I don't think the thing I get from his writing is the thing I'm _supposed_ to get. That is, the kind of tonal urgency he conveys, the sense that it is really important to get at the thing he is trying to drive at

I know people get teased for admitting this, but DFW is the best stuff I've ever read. If anyone has suggestions along the same line I'd love to hear it.

Right? Like trying to teach a baby to run, because it's a faster way of getting around.

You could work around this by having the Lighthouses run from a container pool.

Your feelings resonate with me too. My attitude these days is that if a platform wants to make me feel excluded (in order to induce FOMO), then I accept being excluded. They win, I guess?

Yes. In this design, color could actually _mean_ something. Interesting how color grabs your attention in a helpful way when it isn't all over the place.

I really like interfaces like this honestly. If it included the product images and clicking the image opened the full image in a new tab (the normal browser way by linking to the image source) it would be perfect.

I think it's more nuanced. If anything, MDMA therapy goes _hand in hand_ with dealing with the societal factors, because as an empathogen it enables you to deal with trauma in a loving and caring way. This is not about "correcting

Seems likely to be optimised by the compiler, not sure though.
