This is a fantastic video that I'd never seen before (as a programmer who largely focuses on building user interfaces!) Thanks.

The "dreaming in code" thing is just awful. The worst sleeps I've ever had were filled with a tormenting "problem" to "solve" which was just pure absurd abstract theorizing, attempting to fit bits and piec

There's a sizeable cohort of people (that overlaps largely with the "handmade network") who are tired of hearing "don't reinvent the wheel" and see virtue in rebuilding software. I think it's a good attitu

I think the implicit point made by GP is to question what the purpose of database calls are to deliver a blog post. If the post were just some HTML and CSS, it should be able to be served with very little processing power. It's unlikel

This is a political problem seeking a technological solution. There are wires connecting my computer to yours, it's just a question of who owns them. Any technologically incompetent government can institute bad laws that damage the abi

Yes exactly! My yardstick for the "spiritual" health of the internet is how easily I can have two devices across the internet communicate without a service in the middle. It shouldn't be difficult in theory. I _can_ send a fi

It is my (largely uninformed) opinion that the greatest barrier to an open web is the difficulty in securing a static address for a device that remains consistent regardless of the currently connected gateway address. So much of what third

Interesting. I've seen the meta tag for the viewport for PWAs, but they don't usually prevent zooming. Most commonly I've seen: <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> Do

I have a thought experiment: if these tools are indeed not adding business value, and organizations are becoming "unnecessarily complex", then it should be easy to undermine their position in the market with a product that chooses

This seems like something that WebAssembly (misnomer) is set to resolve, to some degree. Sandboxing capabilities is easy because all of the wasm module imports must be provided by the process that initializes the module, so you can view imp

The thing is, reasons Y and Z for me very often are "because I want to". I don't even really want to fluff it up and call it something nauseating like "professional growth". I just followed my curiosity. My personal

I thought that the commenters who were sheepish about including their GH repo were being unreasonable until I read this comment. I could not disagree more about the purposes of side projects. In fact, if "reinventing the wheel where a

Isn't the term "control" more accurate than "placebo" in these contexts? I thought that a placebo was inactive, while a control is used to set a baseline for judging improvement. A placebo is a type of control, but

I think we're talking past each other because containerization solutions aren't designed to solve the problem you're talking about. It's just not the target problem domain. That isn't a shortcoming of containerizati

I was referring to your comment about having to recreate build images every time you want to insert data (users) into the DB. I don't see how _any_ deployment solution could be stateless, if you want a database. I might be misinterpret

In every environment I've worked in, the content of a DB is not considered a build artifact. The container that actually runs e.g. PostgreSQL is, but it will use volume mounts. I think what OP is referring to is the fact that the conta

I agree wholeheartedly. I can't imagine leaving my (rather needy) dog alone for any substantial length of time.

As someone who is not a biologist, I wonder if some of the same principles are at play in biology and genetics. The only thing that comes to mind for me is the "contagious" nature of prions, which sounds a bit like crystallization

My comment was tongue-in-cheek. I don't have evidence that all countries on earth have sidewalks in all rural areas. That said -- I was born, raised, and have spent most of my life in rural UK and it would be absolutely preposterous if

To be clear, using canvas elements for UI is not inherently inaccessible so long as some accessible content on the page is also available to screen readers. Slint could in theory additionally render a kind of keyboard accessible overlay wit

Interestingly, the trust is established by the use (and threat) of violence by the state. Not that it is a bad thing, it is worth it for the resulting order. The state "violence monopoly" is essential in a shared value system.

The thing that really opened my eyes to this now-obvious (to me) truth was reading the history of the Scottish clan system. A state is essentially (or at least begins with) organized crime with a monopoly on crime organization. Or put anoth

I may have something on my clipboard already. I "compulsively" highlight things as a reading aid and it's frustrating when I lose trust in my clipboard because it always contains fragments of text I don't care about.

More likely, they mean using non-negative matrix factorization but with a bank of feature vectors instead of note templates. NNMF can be used in a wide variety of domains because it essentially encodes the problem of "this thing is a b
