Can you elaborate?

You’re right. But at the same time that quality seems to decline or at least stagnate. I think they face the hard problem of an decreasing signal to noise ratio. Ranking is definitely easier when you also provide and moderate the content. T

This issue comes up in several domains and tech layers (back to front, bottom up etc.) Are there any generic, algorithmic or even just heuristics that help with this? It’s something I‘ve been thinking about over some time now. Any pointers,

Alternatively you can establish a trust relationship.

That's orthogonal to whether you use a simple form or not. Filtering out false leads is a hard problem though.

Not GP but I share similar experiences as you. Started coding as a teenager, but after I got my first job I did similar things as you for a very long time on and off until only a few years ago. In part, it's good that you're tryin

You can provide that with a simple HTML form though.

For me, Twitter’s utility is that of a notification hub of people and orgs that interest me. Plus some gossip here or there. The problem is that there’s so much noise that it fails at that. So I end up not using it when I don’t already know

This is correct. So many websites don’t actually need to collect any user data. It’s just a distraction, slows down and bloats their site and worsens UX. I recommend to simply get rid of any tracking. If you want user feedback, ask them or

We’ve just phased it out, slowly and steadily. Decided to export the legacy notes as a HTML dump (which is apparently supported) and worry about it later. I haven’t yet tried the feature though.

Having a standardized data representation is a good thing.

Most of these also apply to HTMX it seems. I think a bigger difference is that TwinSpark seems to have some integrated DOM manipulation, so it's a bit bigger in scope and less opinionated? HTMX on its own is great as long as you stay w

I think the term "clever" is used to describe unnecessary complexity and indirection, which makes the code harder to debug. I agree with the notion that simplicity is hard though.

"Everyone knows that debugging is twice as hard as writing a program in the first place. So if you're as clever as you can be when you write it, how will you ever debug it?" - Brian Kernighan

The example given as "data driven design" in this paper neither resembles modern data driven programming nor data oriented design. I don't quite understand why the authors thought of this as a good example of "data drive

The devil is in the details with these games. They need to balance a complex system of interactions, features, economies. They have to adhere to "easy to learn, hard to master", to remain accessible and reward active players at th

One of the good things about sites like Goodreads is that they are a great source for long winded rants. I'm someone who likes reading a good rant or complaint. I'm not sure why that is but I find them very entertaining.

To me that's a wrong way to look at software maintenance. What do you think leads to a better result? - I create software that I _want_ to maintain and _will_ maintain. - I create software that I think someone else wants to maintain, I

The tools thing seems to be the right approach. A lot of huge gaming genres came to be from modding, level editors etc. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_derived_... ARTS (Dota, LoL) to battle royale

Recently saw a talk from one of the ID software people. Really supports and illustrates your claim.

Vice versa, there are plenty of games that are low quality (some some dimensions or another) and make tons of money.

I never used Reddit the way you describe. I use it as a forum for niche interests and it’s decent for that. Similar to php based forums but it’s one login and plenty of participants.

There’s a niche of medium lived discussions that are paced slowly and contextualized that the model of hn and reddit serve. The examples you gave don’t seem to fit.

The “without much thinking” part is likely the mistake here.
