Are you going to write it below my every comment? I've already replied to this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48933050 . Also, I don't think either claim in my reply is dependent on who wrote it. You ca

I haven't worked at Bluesky for over a year now. I'm genuinely excited about the protocol, and have written a bunch of things about it while I had free time between jobs. (Ironically I had no time to write about it while at Blue

I don't mean it as a linguistic gotcha ("ha, you said instances! but we call them something else"). I'm saying this is a category error because the network topology is different. This is like saying that web is not free

If you have concrete counterarguments to what I said in my articles, I would be happy to debate these counterarguments here.

I don't know what you mean by this. You absolutely can self-host all your data on your own. And if you also don't want to rely on PLC for identity, you make a `did:web` identity, and then you're completely decoupled from

The reason is that "why aren't many people running Bluesky instances" is a loaded question — it presupposes that's something you should expect. But it's like asking "why aren't many people running Google&q

>First off, Bluesky doesn't offer any GUI tools for PDS migration. If you want to get off their PDS, you'll need to bust out command-line tools and possibly do some steps in advance of when you need to migrate in order for eve

It's a different network topology. ActivityPub couples three things into one box: community, hosting, and an app. Atproto decouples them: there's app-agnostic hosting (which anyone can run), and there's hosting-agnostic apps

The solution to that is to create more apps, and for one of them to become more popular. This is entirely in our hands as developers.

Kagi's are good, yes. The issue is with Google's.

This is not true. I regularly get HN front page hits, and still use em dashes. Nobody accuses me of AI writing. Writing with em dashes is not a problem if you have something to say.

There is this one! Though I have not tested it. https://github.com/stephenturner/skill-deslop I found it funny to just read through.

Please please please write your own blogposts. I already read “but here’s the biggest unlock, and it’s the part that’s hardest to see” all day. I just don’t understand why undermine your own announcements by delegating comms to the mach

In practice, "what's actually best for the community" (growing a community of engaged engineers who feel listened to and who understand what you're doing) is not necessarily easy to show by metrics. I think the author is

Again, it's my mistake in terminology. I'll fix it. It has no bearing on the actual conjugation procedure that the article tries to teach.

by danabramov 4mo ago
I wasn't aware that this community gatekeeps the word "teach" to exclude personal blog posts. I have no desire to participate in this community anymore, but you're welcome to mentally substitute it with some other word.

Thank you! Appreciate the kindhearted comment. Frankly, this thread was kind of wild, and it really got to me. It's not my first rodeo on HN, but the amount of wilful misunderstanding, weaponized debate devices, and manipulative grands

Is it “learn kana” or something else? I know kana. I’ve read through both replies once more and I can’t find any other unifying thread. Did you assume that I don’t know kana because I’m not using kana in the article?

What is the advice though? Is it to not write at all about what works for me? Is it to change what I write into the “accepted” approach and away from what I actually wanted to write? Is it to present my writing differently? What’s the act

That seems like the best diagnosis so far for what’s happening in the thread and gives me some peace. I guess it also means I’ll try to keep my future explanations to myself because intersecting with a community with these norms is highly u

I don’t know what post you’re referring to. I understand romaji is the character set. If you’re nitpicking on this sentence: > I thought it’s acceptable to refer to Hepburn as just “romaji” I’ll expand it: > I thought it’s acceptable

I feel like there’s some kind of miscommunication, and I can’t bridge it, which is driving me a little crazy. I genuinely don’t understand why it’s bad that I wrote something for people who don’t want to depend on fluently reading kana for

Ah, I see what you mean. For me personally, knowing the shape of the system underneath has a sort of calming effect because I have a sense of the upper bound of how annoying it will be to learn by osmosis. And it's also nice to have a
