This hit so close to home. For the last eight months I've been building a web app without any major framework like react or angular. Angular taught me a lot of important lessons about best practices for structuring UI. But eventually y

Funny thing, Steve Jobs is the only source that attributes this quote to Picasso, and it seems very likely he made it up. The idea behind the quote most likely came from T.S. Eliot: Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal.

Exactly. If ever there was a y'all deserve eachother situation, it is this.

Very good analysis! I generally agree, especially about patents being the most abused. Even still, I wouldn't completely get rid of them without some kind of replacement, they've made a fair amount of tech possible. Trademarks are

Stackoverflow was still arguably the best offering at what it provided, but what it provided became obsolete. The need for a repository service is only growing. It is not clear to me that Github's service has degraded due to incompeten

The very concept of IP was a mistake. I understand it helped make a lot of work possible. But virtually nothing useful came from nothing, and the reservoir of human knowledge belongs to all of us. Unless you are Isaac Newton, you took a goo

To care enough to recognize it is out of your depth.

The reality that individuals and cultures create can be a dark and confining place. Empiricism is our only window to a universe full of possibility and light. Humanity is like a child, standing on our toes to peer through and wonder.

This one is incredible with its smooth animations and the ability to ride along with a train.

I've been using Claude Design to make animated SVGs, and I've learned a thing or two about its limits and how to get around them for that narrow purpose. One thing I've learned is that you have to ask it to first come up with

My rule of thumb is that animations need a purpose, otherwise you are just showing off and it gets tedious. This animation carries more purpose than most, conceptually you might understand which orientation will be next but it takes your b

To be fair though, I think we owe the mice a positive research outcome.

If you think of the world as the activity of people and nations, I can understand that reaction. If you think of the world as everything it is possible to see and experience, learning about the world won't bring torture, it will bring

I find it kind of funny that we've been low-key suffocating the higher order function of our brains ever since we started building structures to live in with very little awareness of it. My mom is one of those people who complains that

The article describes several actual inventions that are still the foundation of modern fire departments. It goes without saying that they didn't come up with the idea of organized firefighting.

That's interesting, what do people have to do to get membership?

To put a finer point on it, I recognize there are a lot of good creators on YouTube and I'm glad it can support their work. But the overall trend has been for the worse, at least for the target audience I belong to. The change in the a

I believe I heard that reddit has started a different kind of feed to replace r/all and it does introduce some kind of algorithm that "suggests" content differently from the straightforward upvote system. Although the popular

This is a feature. The golden age of YouTube ended roughly around the time they made monetization more available.

Companies who want to use this data should gather it themselves, and transparently. Insurance companies do this, my dad had a little tracking unit in his car that I assume allowed him to pay a lower rate. It is not gathering or using the da

I agree that fighting the movement is generally futile, but I think there is a lot still to understand about where it comes from and better ways to respond. I think it is a lot of small factors that work together. It seems like our educatio

The superfluous content I was thinking about is all the extra content besides the discussion. Forum signatures and gratuitous UI layouts that take up a significant part of the screen. I think the minimalism of the comment tree is partly why

I'm curious, where would you prefer to go for a discussion like this one with people you've never heard from before? It seems like you find it valuable enough to participate. Speaking for myself, I don't know another place I

I think it is safe to rule out early engagement as a positive factor.

I would say what sets it apart is the undercurrent of anger and grievance combined with the self destructive beliefs that are prevalent in the community. It's men and boys who struggle to find acceptance and belonging, maybe even for r

Point taken, but it isn't just a matter of individuals, it is a popular movement that has captured a significant part of role of regulators. The research is still valuable, but its lack of influence is not a problem that is safe to dis

Well cited doesn't mean very much outside of the context of peer reviewed work. This book pushes Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as "miracle cures", thanks to that idea my relatives also have a stockpile of both.

I don't think it is a win, I'm not sure how you got that from my comment. There should be enough room for nuance to acknowledge that the internet is uniquely unhealthy for young people. I don't find 'I saw all the bad st

I'm not sure this information will sway very many people. I have relatives who are all getting tested for t-cell counts related to mRNA because they are convinced they are the cause of any and all health problems they are facing. It se
