Trauma is the consequences of abuse and ongoing lack of safety, in the body. It’s always been around. I think the use of public spaces to discuss, integrate, and heal people’s personal trauma is relatively new in our culture? Something l

Having a toxic job is not a sign of extreme privilege. Nor is facing a trade-off between having income and taking care of one’s mental or physical health.

As a Mac user since about 1988, this brings back memories! It's sad but the UI feels almost futuristic.

When can we try using it?? :)

These problems have lots of other well-known solutions. For large objects: Persistent data structures with path-copying. Batching small mutations (and using mutation internally in a way that doesn’t leak out). Using the type system someho

Get in touch with why you are doing what you are doing, and what you really want. If you want to save money, you definitely can. Maybe you could think about what that money could be used for. There are plenty of other benefits to prepari

IANAE, but the article addresses why the arguments that assume these instructions need to be combined are usually not based on looking at the whole picture.

The amount of autonomy that makes something a “person” has only ever been drastically understated in these sorts of discussions, I find. Like saying a future self-driving taxi would own its own business and keep its profits. That’s like g

If you haven't encountered this browser before, I find it fascinating. It's meant for devices that aren't necessarily computers. For example, someone making a digital "sign" can use HTML and CSS, or dynamic HTML m

Interesting. What language is a good example of having effect sets? Koka? What about the case of needing context like “correlation id,” from the article? Can that be modeled as an effect?

Have you heard of a guy named Paul Graham? Obviously the advice “start a start-up” has some caveats, but this is Hacker News, I mean this whole site/community started with the idea that “hackers” should just start start-ups, for simila

To be clear, I was advocating against the “individual or collective action is pointless” position on climate change. I do think people should be thinking, talking, and acting, if they want!

It’s a fascinating article, but it lacks respect for people taking principled positions about this social issue. Progressives are fad-chasing sheep, supposedly, while anarchists are legit, but crazy. It’s like the Jordan Peterson philosoph

Yeah, all the positions people are taking (progressives, anarchists) about work, here, are in the right direction from the status quo. But saying that wouldn’t fit with the author’s “aesthetic.” :)

It’s consumerism and society being shaped for profit. It doesn’t actually cost much money for everyone to have a place to live and food to eat, but our economy (in the US) is considered healthy when people are shopping a lot and spending m

I think the real insight here is the calendar: it sounds like new tasks go straight onto the calendar, and that's how a to-do backlog is avoided! Interesting.

A text file is not difficult and impractical. "Number of features" is not what makes a tool practical.

In the examples given, there is an existing pipeline from the “raw” input (CCD or unfused sensor data) to a simpler or less idiosyncratic thing (RGB pixel grid, position in space). The point seems to be, you still have a design choice to m

I agree. To the people saying it’s not tech: It’s not as if AirBnB or DoorDash created new technology. There definitely are start-ups in the areas listed above, but I’d like to see more household names. Investors invested $25 billion into

I don't think extraverts need any feeling of obligation to go to a party, that's just their version of curling up alone with a book. In my experience, the most striking difference between extraverts and introverts is that extraver

The definitions given in the article are the ones I would give; see e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraversion_and_introversion#... I'm not familiar with the theory that only introverts have an "internal

Well, tagged unions, like many TS features, are designed to enable type-checking on vaguely idiomatic JS code, aren't they? That checks properties of objects in if-else statements? It sucks that people aren't open to defining th

I don't think the language designers would consider this, because there is a difference in TypeScript between a property existing with type undefined and not existing, regardless of the fact that it might sometimes be convenient if a n

"never" is not really ever a good choice for a property/member type, because it is assignable to all types. A function that literally never returns could/should have a return type of never, for example, but if the funct

Is the code in question used by browsers like Chrome, or bypassed in favor of Skia?

I agree. Also, avoiding Clojure’s collections entirely is a great way to get better performance, but it’s hard to argue that is idiomatic. This applies doubly to ClojureScript.
